Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist for you 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.
But stay tuned, guys.
We'll show you exactly what...
We'll show you exactly what it looks like when the Stolen dangers All their remarkable stuff Stay tuned Alright, I'm Alexander Edward And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
The most important election of our lifetimes is responsible.
And we're documenting it.
What's up everybody?
I just want to say up top that yes, the Matrix did descend upon Tony on his way to come record this episode.
I believe in an effort to prevent the truths we're about to unveil for everybody today.
Yeah, the system had a sort of like...
White blood cell-like effect where just random white people started awakening and attacking Tony and calling the police on you on your way here?
Is that what I'm hearing?
Pretty much.
I'm going to go ahead and say white passing is what I'm going to go ahead and say.
Yeah, I think that's what it was.
It really did feel like the NPC moments people talk about.
What happened?
It really felt like that.
Well, my little favorite drive-thru coffee shop, I like to go ahead and stop by when I'm on my way back home from L.A., Whoa, an LA coffee shop, dude?
That's so cool.
Well, it's not even a cool one.
It's a drive-thru one.
It's a convenient one.
Is it one of those nudie, scantily clad barista?
No, we're not perverts like you guys.
Los Angeles is a classy place.
Not like Seattle.
They whip your froth with nipple tassels, I think.
Yeah, and this wouldn't go down there anyways, because if this were to go down there anyways, somebody would have got their windshield broken.
Right.
That is the thing.
If you don't respect the nipple tassels, you might get your ass beat.
It was so bizarre.
So, you know, they come out to your car and take your order if the line's a little bit long, you know?
And the girl's real sweet.
She's taking my order.
I'm just getting my iced Americano.
And we hear a honk.
And the girl taking my order is like, what are these people honking at?
We have no idea what's happening.
And then midway through the order, the lady behind me gets out of her car and is kind of like, not quite yelling, but she's like, is there a reason you just backed into me?
And me and the girl taking the order were like, what do you mean?
I haven't gone backwards at all.
It's crazy for both you and the drive-thru employee to have backed into her.
That's pretty wild.
So this means I would have been going backwards as I'm giving my order.
And we're both super confused.
We're like, I don't know what you're talking about.
She's like, you just backed into my car.
And I'm like, I don't...
Amazing.
I'm sorry.
Did I back into your car?
I don't know how...
I haven't been in reverse.
She said, you just backed on my car.
That's like, okay.
And I get out.
And I look.
I'm like, I don't see anything.
I was like, is it okay?
Do you need to exchange anything?
She's like, no, no.
Oh.
She's like, oh, I'm going to take care of it.
And we're stuck in line.
And while we're stuck in line, she calls the police.
Hell yeah.
That's what I do when a line's not moving fast enough for me.
That's one of my go-tos.
Yeah, she calls the cops.
I'm thinking, well, nothing's happening here.
I offered to give her my information.
She wanted to scare you away so she could take your place in line, I think.
Exactly, so she can get ahead of line any faster.
These motorists, they do rude things all the time on the freeway.
They cut each other off to jockey for position to get ahead.
I wouldn't be surprised if she tried to get you swatted so she could get ahead of you in line.
Yeah, I know.
It was a good move, except for it kind of backfired because the experience ended up being not very quick.
I go to this drive-thru because it's quick, convenient.
It's pretty good coffee.
So I'm leaving the line and the police pull up.
And then, you know, they're like, I have to talk to him.
And she's like telling him, she's like, yeah, he backed into my car.
And I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about.
Like, maybe, I don't know.
It's a bad time to fake that argument, whatever she's trying to do.
Because I think fast foods typically have cameras pointed at the drive-thru line.
Yeah, I don't know if this one had it back there.
But the whole thing was like...
The only thing I can come up with is maybe I put it in park and it does that slight jostle backwards.
But that means you were way too close to me.
But no one felt anything.
No one heard anything.
It was just her.
It was only her.
And so we have to go back and forth for a while.
How did it end up?
What's the result?
Did you get arrested?
No.
No, nothing happened.
And thank God, because usually when I leave Shorty's house in the morning, she sends me with a nice little joint.
I had no weed on me.
My car didn't even smell like weed.
Thank God.
And they were just like, I don't know, man.
The cops were like, I don't know.
This is weird.
Everybody's just like, I don't know what she's talking about.
And Nothing came of it.
So she just literally wasted an hour of everyone's time and scared the shit out of me.
I was so fucking stressed the whole time.
I'm like, something's going to come up.
There's something I don't know about.
I have some sort of something happen.
They're going to find a way to arrest me or beat me up.
There's going to be some reason for this to happen.
I don't know.
Listening to episodes of Minion Death Cult in the car before they get out to encounter you.
They're like, let's see what this guy's all about.
Hold on.
Document this.
It was so stressful for no reason.
It was so bizarre.
To play devil's advocate, we've got to move on to the election, buddy.
I'm so glad you're okay.
But I don't know.
If you're bored, trying to get someone killed by the cops can alleviate your boredom.
That can be an interesting thing to happen to you today.
So I'm just saying maybe she was...
Maybe she was a little bored.
That would be exhilarating.
These people are so lucky that it's like me.
I feel like other people would just yell at her and call her a crazy bitch and stuff.
But I was just like, I don't want to get in trouble.
I don't want anything to happen here.
The amount of people I don't beat up because I don't want the police to show up and kill me is really high.
I guess maybe policing is working.
Maybe it is working.
It's made me less violent, that's for sure.
Yeah, they said the death sentence isn't a deterrent.
Well, I don't know about that anymore.
Yeah, it sucked.
It was a really awful way to start my morning.
But I'm here now.
I'm safe.
The drive felt way less stressful after that because I was no longer in that situation.
Sure, yeah.
And the coffee was good.
They actually tried not to charge me for it, which I thought was really cool.
But yeah, anyways...
Yeah, well, I'm glad you made it.
You know, despite the best efforts of the Deep State and the Cathedral and the Matrix, you're here.
And we're so happy for it.
Because, yes, it is the most important election of our lifetimes.
Right, Tony?
Absolutely.
And I know that was like the last election, too.
So it can't really...
The most important election until now, let's just say.
Do we have any final thoughts about...
You know, because as...
Journalists, as reporters, we don't endorse a candidate.
Just like your average billionaire-owned newspaper, we do not endorse a political candidate because we want to maintain neutrality.
So we won't be endorsing anyone today.
But just your final thoughts about how the election is going to turn out.
Because I do want to get into the Trump campaign's closing strategies, because they're very interesting to me.
But before we do that, yeah, just any final thoughts about the election or about who's going to win or about how you're feeling?
I'm not really so much worried about the election as I'm worried about all of the libs that I know.
My boss last night was like, bro, if he wins on Tuesday, you're not going to see me Wednesday.
I'm out of here.
And I was like, it's not that different.
It's such a co-worker thing to say.
I think that's a joke they like.
And it's funny because I was like, what do you think is so different?
And he was like, how can you compare the two?
They're like, one's a team.
And he was going, it was so funny.
I was like, I didn't know that you were such a lib, dude.
And he was straight up scared.
So I'm more worried for the libs in my life than anybody else.
I think they're going to go mad if he wins.
I think they're just going to lose their minds.
And then unfortunately, I think they're going to lose their minds in a different direction if Kamala wins, and it's going to be worse.
I think they're going to go into some sort of weird elation.
They're going to be like the people who are worshipping with the snakes.
You know, and when the snake bites him, it's a good thing.
I think it's going to be like that.
I think they're going to be like dancing with their hands up in the air and speaking in tongues.
Just enthralled.
And by tongues, I mean like AAVE. All the white dudes for Harris are going to start speaking in tongues.
Yeah, yeah.
No personal opinion on who's going to win?
Who's doing better?
Who do you think is doing the best right now for getting elected?
I guess Kamala's really doing a good job in the way that she's pandering to the right.
I think that's pretty smart.
We like everybody except Trump.
Yeah, I think she has a good chance.
I think that Trump has turned some of his own base off and she's appealed to them by saying, no, it's cool.
I'm going to be even harsher on the borders.
We're going to bring more policing in.
I think it's a good strategy for her.
Yeah, I think she might.
Who knows?
Who knows, though?
Yeah.
My kind of final thoughts about this are what they've been for pretty much the whole year, but even before Biden dropped out, which is that Trump is annoying.
Yes.
He could be funny, absolutely, and he could say stuff that's entertaining, even if it's not your sense of humor or whatever.
But by and large, he's mostly a petulant little bitch and just annoying.
And I think most people just don't want to see him on TV anymore.
Yeah, well, I don't want to see him on TV in this context.
I think he could be America's sweetheart if he wasn't trying to run for president.
I think it's too late for that for a lot of people.
However, he will always have the people who want to see him on TV, which is his psychotic base, so he could, of course...
Start his media empire or continue his truth social media empire after he loses or whatever.
In the general public, I think a good metric about who wins the election is not just who is less embarrassing to be openly supporting or voting for.
I think it's also who do you want to see on TV... And in this really bottom of the barrel election, I think you could rephrase that as, who do you not want to see on TV anymore?
Yeah.
And it was, for a long time, it was kind of Joe Biden and Donald Trump neck and neck with that.
Like, some people almost got so sick of seeing Joe Biden, like, deteriorate on television that they're like, I guess Trump is, like, more together.
Yeah.
But that wasn't as convincing to me because a lot of people voted for Joe Biden knowing he was an old guy.
And so that's kind of baked into the Joe Biden identity anyway.
But I think most people now would just prefer seeing Kamala Harris on TV now.
Because they can at least tune her out.
Let her nonsense words wash over them without needing to absorb any of it because she's hopefully not going to do any crazy shit that would require me paying attention to her.
Also, she is better to look at.
Am I right?
Sure.
I mean, yeah.
She's objective.
It's not even like attractiveness or being pretty.
Just objectively, she looks less offensive to look at.
Yeah.
And she's not like an emotional narcissistic maniac, or at least she like hides it better than Trump.
And she's also not a withered ghost from the Jim Crow era, who at best is like being puppeted around by gay tolerant neocons.
Now, if you want to get into the broader conversation, of course she is still being puppeted by those same people.
Just because she's conscious doesn't mean she's not also being advised by that same type of war hawks and anti-communist freaks.
I think Trump might have been able to beat Biden, but if Harris wins, I think it's because people just want to shut the book on this terrible era and try to forget about it.
Try to forget about politics, which, of course, no one will be able to do because the material situation is not going to get...
Any better under a Democratic or Republican presidency.
So, you know, but I do think that desire is there strongly.
I am slightly worried because Trump does have like two days to like cover a shifted in and out.
And if I think if he does an in and out shift, then he's going to be he can win.
I think that would really like that would really work for everybody.
So we gotta be worried about that.
But other than that, because what if he takes a garbage truck to In-N-Out to cover a shift?
Then he might sweep this thing.
That doesn't make sense to me.
If he took a garbage truck to Rosa Maria's where he ordered the garbage burrito, then he's getting my vote.
True, true.
I'm sure there's a garbage-style fry.
No, that wouldn't be based enough.
The only reason he went to McDonald's was to own Kamala Harris.
He would have to go to Chick-fil-A and work Chick-fil-A so that Don Jr.
and Cat Turd could pretend like he's triggering the LGBTQ mafia or whatever.
That would be their strategy.
Chick-fil-A is the move.
You're right.
You're right.
Absolutely.
But still a garbage truck.
So who knows?
Who knows who's going to win?
It is probably election day when you're listening to this.
And so I just kind of wanted to do a little roundup of the most interesting Trump campaign strategies we've seen in the last month or two.
Of course, one of their bolder strategies, insulting Puerto Rican and black voters with an edgy podcast comedian at Madison Square Garden.
That was fun.
Right here, pretend to work at McDonald's to own Kamala Harris.
Also pretty fun.
I realized when that photo of him hanging out the drive-thru window and sort of wistfully waving goodbye, that is going to be the photo of the Trump presidency if he loses.
Yeah, it's not going to be the one where his ear's bleeding.
It's going to be that one.
You're absolutely right.
It's going to be him sadly waving goodbye to the American people.
That is the image you are going to see once they finally accept that he lost, rightfully or not.
It's going to be that.
He's just a sad old man who wanted to play dress up another four years and you couldn't let him.
Can't do that for him.
More Trump's maybe winning campaign strategies be so annoying that multiple people try to assassinate you.
And then you get to look like the hero, you know?
People might forget about all the stupid and reckless shit you've been doing.
And just remember, you know, somebody take a shot.
Wow.
And I'm a contrarian, so if I see somebody shoot Trump, I'm like, nuh-uh.
I can't let that stand with it.
You know, I'm going to teach that assassin a lesson by voting for Trump now.
That's the way I look at it.
But I gotta caution you against that, because if that's your concern, by putting him in office, you're just putting him in front of more podiums, therefore more opportunities for more assassinations, which is actually making me reconsider my vote with that logic.
But I'm just saying, think about that.
You're just giving him more opportunities for that to happen.
With the amount of intelligent and entrepreneurial people Donald Trump surrounds himself with, I'm confident in his ability to produce some sort of bulletproof glass podium case that he can use when he's speaking publicly.
I mean, look at everything else he's come up, come out with in the last few months of Again, this seems like it could be a winning campaign strategy.
License your name as many times as possible before you potentially lose a second time.
Sneakers, NFTs, Bibles, entire crypto exchanges.
Just get as much as you can and you'll look successful.
If he can do that for his own brand, that means we can do America Knives, America Coin.
Imagine an America Coin.
He can make that happen for us.
Yeah, and it's just America becomes like the warehouse where all the coin it gets shipped to from overseas, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
Totally.
Yeah, another campaign strategy we all remember was trying to spark a national panic about immigrants eating people's pets.
You know, we're going to be seeing how all of these tactics worked out for this election.
And people might be saying, well...
A lot of that stuff sounded kind of weird.
A lot of that stuff didn't sound very effective.
That's all the internet stuff.
That's all the like, you know, that's all the like what personalities you surround yourself with and how you're tweeting and how you're acting online and what you're selling on the Internet and stuff like that.
When it comes down to like the actual get out the vote campaign, you know, the mechanics, the structure by which you are going to actually get people to the polls voting for your candidate.
Do not worry, patriots.
Elon Musk is in control.
Oh, thank God.
Thank God.
It appears that the Trump campaign outsourced its entire ground game to a super PAC run by Elon Musk.
I'm reading here from The Guardian.
Revealed, Trump ground game in key states flagged as potentially fake.
Donald Trump's campaign may be failing to reach thousands of voters as they hope to turn out in Arizona and Nevada with roughly a quarter of door knocks done by America PAC flagged by its canvassing app as potentially fraudulent according to leaked data and people familiar with the matter.
They're saying like 24 and 26 percent of the supposed voters they contacted in Arizona and Nevada were flagged as fraudulent.
Meaning that this is like the way that they do this is it's like a third party app that collects that, you know, helps you run a campaign.
And then you like enter you.
It has all your voters on a list and all the voters GPS coordinates and where you're supposed to visit, like the addresses.
And so you have to physically say like, I'm at this address and I talked to such and such person And like 24% and 26% of the entries got flagged as fraudulent, meaning the person was like in a totally different area when they said that they were actually like they figured out a way to game the system so that they could just stay in the food court and pretend to visit people's doors, you know?
Oh, yeah.
Which is, yeah, just amazing.
I love that.
The potentially fake door knocks when canvassers falsely claim to have visited a home could present a serious setback for Trump as he and Kamala Harris remain even in the polls with fewer than 20 days until an election.
Even in the polls, maybe that's one way of putting it.
The, what, Iowa poll has her up?
Over Trump by like 5% or something like that.
The Republican state of Iowa.
What's her name?
This like...
Seltzer.
She's like a renowned pollster who is calling Iowa for Kamala Harris currently.
Which would be pretty funny.
But...
Yeah, the Trump campaign earlier this year outsourced the bulk of its ground game to America PAC, the political action committee founded by Elon Musk, betting that spending millions to turn out Trump supporters, especially those who don't typically vote, would boost returns.
Amazing.
They bet on Elon Musk to win the election for them.
I mean, yeah, that is kind of like why he bought Twitter, right?
Was to try and help Trump win the election or whatever.
Yeah, we don't talk about that.
That definitely was a huge factor of it.
Yeah, that's for sure.
I love, yeah, betting on Elon Musk to deliver tangible results for you.
Like...
Amazing.
Betting on Elon Musk to trick rich idiots out of their money, that's a good bet.
Betting on Elon to produce a tangible real-world good instead of an inflated stock price, you just became the rich idiot that Elon is tricking out of money.
Yep.
Yep.
The other thing, because again, Elon is so concerned with Trump's re-election, with re-electing Trump, he was saying, actually, democracy will die if Trump doesn't get back in.
Which I think is a good, you know, because Kamala Harris are saying, democracy's on the ballot, you've got to vote for Kamala Harris, or else the world's going to end.
Well, what if I told you it was the other way?
Actually, you've got to vote Trump, or the world's going to end.
You know, that would make me, wow.
That makes me really think about things because I'm just trying to make sure the world doesn't end.
And now I don't know which one it is.
Now, if you can tell me which one does have more...
If there was a way to have a post, whichever one had more likes, that's probably the one I'd go after.
So if Trump saving democracy has more likes, I'm doing Trump all day.
And I mean, if you're Elon Musk and you're telling me, well, you need to vote for Trump to save democracy, I'm, of course, going to respond, we do not live in democracy.
We live in a constitutional republic.
Trump is trying to enact direct democracy, socialism, communist workers' councils.
No.
Pulling it up here.
Trump ally Elon Musk warns of necessary economic collapse if Trump elected.
Yeah, I'm so confused by this.
This was a great message.
In the literal last week of the election, to have your number one surrogate, the wealthiest man in the world who is allying with you against the elites, right?
Make sense of that as the average person.
Now he's saying, it's actually necessary for everybody except me to hurt?
We'll all end up better in the end.
I'm reading here, this is from Midas Network, but a lot of networks picked up This comment, which was on a fundraising call.
He made this comment on a fucking fundraising call.
Reading here from the Midas Network, Trump ally Elon Musk warns of necessary economic collapse if Trump elected.
Musk says everyday Americans must embrace the pain if Trump gets back in the Oval Office.
This is fucking great.
It's so amazing.
It's like, well, yes, it's going to be painful, but everybody, it's necessary pain.
It's like, wait, the pain doesn't happen if I don't vote for him?
It doesn't sound necessary, actually.
I think I'm going to vote for the other person.
It doesn't make any sense.
How would you use that as a thing?
No, listen, we're all going to take one for the team.
This is for the best.
And by all of us, I mean everyday Americans, not me, certainly.
It's so funny.
This is the one time that someone's out here saying, listen, it's going to be hard for everybody to get through this.
There are so many things that that would be applicable for, but not this.
Just voting for the guy is going to make it worse for me, but it's going to be worth it.
And then he doesn't really say what...
The payoff is for everyday Americans.
Yeah, let me read here.
Elon Musk has offered a sobering preview of Donald Trump's economic plan for America if he is reelected, revealing that a period of intentional, quote, temporary hardship is on the horizon for American households.
Rather than cautioning against it, Musk described this hardship as necessary and inevitable, supporting Trump's blueprint for restructuring the economy by slashing government programs.
So this is where it all kind of stems from, is that not only is...
Not only is Elon Musk heavily involved in the re-election campaign, he's also been promised a gig as a government waste czar, where he's going to enact the Epic Dog Program, the Department of Government Efficiency, which is also a meme for government efficiency named after possibly the biggest financial scam of our lifetimes, cryptocurrency.
Yeah, and a specific cryptocurrency that we all watch do nothing and fail.
Why would we want that to be anything around anything that involves us personally?
Well, I think he was able to make money off of it by pumping and dumping several times, if what I had read was to be believed.
So he's going to let America pump and dump.
Okay, I like that.
Not only this, it's like...
We're gonna put...
I saw this post on Facebook from RFK who was like, I'm so happy to be proud of the Trump team because we're going to slash government waste and make America healthy again.
And we're gonna do that with Elon Musk.
And it's like...
And he made a reference to like, I don't know if he said the military industrial complex specifically, but it was like a reference to a military industrial.
And it's like, okay, one of the biggest recipients of fucking military and like domestic defense spending and all of that is going to somehow be responsible and cut government waste towards private corporations.
No, no, no.
Of course, he'll be cutting goods that go back to actual, you know, people who live in this country instead of, you know, the corporations that run it or whatever.
And then, yeah, again, like RFK, just a psychotic person to put out there as your face and voice.
I mean, I can't imagine much worse of a choice, honestly.
Yeah.
But yeah, let me get back to this article.
Musk's remarks shared in a telephone town hall organized by his America PAC. So this is like his event.
Indicate that he and Trump see economic pain to average Americans as a necessary cost of their policy goals.
Well, I can't see why I wasn't able to find a single right-wing outlet writing about this.
Weird.
It's amazing.
How can we spin this?
He kind of fucked us with this little thing he's saying here.
Quote, we have to reduce spending to live within our means.
And that necessarily involves some temporary hardship.
But it will ensure long-term prosperity, Musk stated in the call, fully endorsing the strain Trump's policies would place on Americans.
Again, just like sickening.
This is like sickening to, I think, even just the average American.
You know, somebody who hasn't been politically radicalized by the Internet into thinking Elon Musk is some sort of savior of the free world or whatever.
You can see this for what it is, which is a billionaire who's gotten fat off of taxpayer dollars.
Talking about how it's for the good of the rest of us is if he slashes any public benefits that this country might still have.
Yeah, it's like it like the comment, the replies to this flash forward.
We're like, throw him in prison.
People were like, what the fuck fuck?
Fuck this guy.
Somebody said, seize SpaceX and throw him in prison.
It's just like, yeah, man, fuck this guy.
What are you talking about?
How is this at all a good election strategy?
Yeah, it's a wild move.
It makes no sense.
And it's like, people are looking for help.
Not like, hey guys, you're going to need to help us by suffering a little more.
Or they want a just system.
And a just system in their minds isn't hundreds of thousands of people being kicked off welfare or SNAP benefits or disability.
That doesn't look like justice for most people.
Justice would look like Elon Musk having his shit seized for For the people who made it possible, including the workers.
Give the companies a worker.
Anyway...
The billionaire went further by responding to an ex-formerly Twitter user who anticipated a market downturn if Trump's aggressive policies, including mass deportation and extreme deficit cuts, were enacted.
The user predicted that with Trump and Musk in charge, the U.S. economy, dependent on debt and vulnerable to asset bubbles, would face a severe reaction before stabilizing under the intended austerity.
Musk's response was a simple acknowledgement.
Sounds about right.
It's great.
It's perfect.
Yeah, no notes.
It's beautiful.
Yes, we are heavily dependent on debt and other scams, and that's why we should absolve debt.
We should do a debt jubilee and eliminate debt for everybody, because just get rid of that problem.
Just slash all the debts.
Yeah.
Get rid of that real quick and then start fresh, you know, and see what happens.
It's funny because like that would actually that would that would have less of an impact on our like on.
On America's, you know, economics as then, you know, say what we send to Israel, it would literally have less of an impact than that if we just wiped away the debt.
I don't understand what you mean.
Less of an impact?
You wouldn't care?
It wouldn't matter?
No, it would cost less for America to wipe away the debt than it does to continue to fund this genocide.
I don't know about that.
As much as we've sent over there?
How many billions of trillions of dollars in debt in America are there?
I think the debt might exceed the money we've sent to Israel, to be honest.
But I get what you're saying, sure.
There's much better places we could put that money.
Yeah, amazing thing to have your number one surrogate come out and say, because I love, like, even if I believe this, even if I believe that Trump and Elon Musk, the system they want is what's going to be best for me as a working person.
That is going to benefit me.
I believe in all this shit.
Yeah.
You're asking an American to withstand temporary hardship in exchange for a long-term goal?
That's definitely something, as an American, I love.
It's something Americans react really well to.
It's something we agree to do all the time and would never become fascist at the mere idea of being responsible with our economic health care or ecological systems.
No, we don't routinely fabricate that exact thing happening all the time in our minds through what we do for migrants and people who need any type of help from the government.
We don't say that that's taking away from us and we're mad about that.
So we'd be more than willing to just make a sacrifice.
No problem.
Yeah, I've definitely found Americans are reasonable people when you tell them they can't have 20 different types of, you know, American-made salsa.
Yeah, exactly.
Even the ones from New York City.
Yeah, just definitely a winning message.
Okay, yeah, everybody, this is like what got Jimmy Carter...
Beaten.
This is like what beat Jimmy Carter was him telling people you're going to have to suck it up and accept some hardships.
And then Reagan came around and said, no, we're just going to everybody's just going to go into debt.
Yeah, no, you could still have everything.
You could still have everything and corporations can make trillions of dollars off of you.
We're just going to do it all fake style.
Just remember, you can't take debt with you.
The afterlife gets passed on to your family.
Beautiful.
So another closing argument for Musk, other than we're going to tank the economy.
If Kamala wins, she will put me in a contraption.
And she will change X back to Twitter.
And I'm like, maybe we do endorse.
Maybe MDC finally gets off the fence.
If she were to come out and make that promise, it would be a landslide.
It would be so easy.
If Harris wins and they seize SpaceX and deport Elon Musk to South Africa and then he gets killed by a mob or something like that, I would have so much more respect for the Democrats.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, I would definitely consider calling myself a Dem.
You see, they rolled out Elon Musk's mom.
Did you see that?
No.
Is she still looking real good?
Oh, yeah.
All right.
All right.
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
They had her on some...
Some random right-wing YouTube show or something that had a fake news desk.
It was like sub-OANN. I don't even know what it was.
But they brought her on because I guess Mark Cuban was like, Donald Trump doesn't have any hot bitches around him.
All the women around him suck ass.
And Elon Musk's mom was like, well, I guess that means I suck ass.
Someone rang.
I'm sorry.
I'm right here.
I honestly couldn't tell what the argument was.
She was like...
Well, it's not me!
And I'm just like, what does that mean?
What are you saying?
Because the argument was like, oh no, he doesn't have any strong women.
He doesn't have any fierce serving women around him at all.
And Elon Musk's mom was like, which one am I supposed to say?
Am I supposed to say I am that or I'm not that?
I don't remember.
I don't know.
I'm just going to show up.
And then she tried to make fun of Kamala Harris for her word salad, but ended up stuttering a bunch herself, and it wasn't clear if it was part of the impression that she was doing.
I don't know.
It looked like she was having a malfunction on camera, much the same way Elon Musk often looks like he's having a malfunction on camera.
So yeah, check out that clip if you haven't.
It's pretty fun.
I can't wait.
I can't wait.
I might watch it on mute just because I can look at her, you know?
Yeah, but Elon said that Kamala Harris was going to, I think, kill him if they didn't win.
And then also, Musk just recently implied that a social media star squirrel who was euthanized would be a deciding force in the election.
Oh, uh-huh.
Okay.
Did you hear about this, Tony?
No, no.
I was not following the squirrel.
I'm blowing it.
So, it was some, like, pet squirrel that a guy that, like, an influencer, like a gym rat-looking influencer, had as a pet.
It's like, okay, cute squirrel.
I guess the fucking Department of Wildlife in New York arrested him for having the squirrel and then euthanized the squirrel and the raccoon, which is, of course, awful.
Also, I'm not sure what it has to do with the presidential election, but again, Musk seems pretty sure that it's going to be consequential because he quoted...
Catherine Boyle, who shared the story and said, this is going to decide the election, isn't it?
Catherine Boyle is, I'm assuming, not a funny person.
This wasn't like a joke post.
She's trying to be funny, like, isn't society so crazy?
Like, this is going to be...
Wow.
All the memes we did about the squirrel getting killed by communism...
That's going to freaking win the election, huh?
What a fucking timeline we're living in.
That's my favorite thing when the police state shows its strong hand and they're like, communism once again.
Because if anything, this is a good case for us.
The police, they have too much overreach.
They shouldn't be able to kill your pet squirrels when you get rid of the police.
But they're like, nope, this is communism doing that.
Yeah, there's a few interesting things here, interesting aspects about that.
Elon, yeah, he says, government overreach kidnapped an orphan squirrel and executed him, dot, dot, dot.
Wow.
Yeah, this is, you know, this is the October surprise happening in November, the weekend before the election.
You've been waiting for it.
I have an article here from Forbes that's like...
The original headline was, Social Media Star Peanut the Squirrel Euthanized, President Trump and Elon Musk Respond.
But they had to edit the article because Donald Trump actually didn't respond to Peanut the Squirrel being euthanized.
It was like something that Cat Turd posted.
And maybe Cat Turd got tricked into thinking Donald Trump commented on Peanut, or maybe he was doing the tricking himself.
I'm inclined to believe it was the former.
Yeah, so Forbes did an article about a fake Trump tweet that is about a euthanized squirrel that contains the sentence, Peanut the squirrel may stand as the story of the weekend leading up to the presidential election this Tuesday.
What?
This is a crazy world we live in.
I just don't even understand.
Forbes is fucking on one, man.
Forbes is going crazy because, we'll talk about it in a second, but the way they've been covering the Trump campaign is wild.
They're doing, like, clickbait, daily wire...
Tucker Carlson destroys Woke Left at Madison Square Garden or whatever.
Very, very strange.
But this one was written by John Brandon, who covers social media trends, which I think means it was just written by AI. It's really poorly written here.
Let me just find an example sentence.
Not AI. I mean, it has to be good if AI wrote it.
What the story typifies.
That's like the sub-headline within this article.
So, what the story typifies.
This is exactly the type of story that typifies the election.
Yeah.
Written by AI. You can't convince me it's not.
Yeah.
Responses to Elon Musk and Donald Trump saying that, well, Elon Musk saying that there's going to be some hardship.
Had some, again, interesting responses because it wasn't being covered, really, by the right wing that I could see.
But it was being covered in normal lib publications.
Yahoo News was covering it.
ABC, the New York Times all had stories about it in posts on Facebook.
This is...
Like I said, there were calls for...
Andrea says he should be jailed for election interference.
PJ Mead says, imagine that, as everyone's been saying, it's going to hurt everyone except Musk, Trump, and their millionaire buddies.
There were those responses, but then also a very big response of AI-generated images of Trump and Elon Musk making out together.
Kitty, landscape chick, artist...
is their handle on twitter and by artist they mean prompter somebody who types words into chat gbt or open ai or grok or whatever generative ai she's using to get yeah uh trump and elon like close-mouthed kissing each other in front of like a robot machine apocalypse thing uh Yeah, but I mean, the message is there.
It says the man that never wanted for anything, never went hungry, never had to worry about how to pay his rent, never worried that he was going to pay a doctor bill.
F that guy.
I've had it with Elon Musk, too.
He's in it for him and no one else.
Okay, yeah, it's good.
I liked this response on the ABC News comments.
Andrea says, how can somebody so smart and so intelligent as Elon Musk, and who's doing such amazing things with science and technology, dash, dash, how can he be making this decision?
It's just unfathomable.
These people still think that he is like the guy who made Teslas and he's the guy building rockets.
It's because he's too smart for you to understand.
That's why it's confusing to you.
You're like a dog trying to understand why a human is at the computer.
Yeah, yeah.
What's happening over there?
I love it so much.
I mean, it's like, fuck.
It is crazy because you see the meme a lot of, like, liberals loved Elon Musk and thought he was their savior until he turned against the hive mind or whatever.
And it's like, yeah, a bunch of, like, I don't know the nice way to put it, people who, like...
You know, saw him on TV or people who follow pop science ain't science fucking cool Facebook pages or whatever.
That's who liked Elon Musk because he bought the Tesla name like it's he was never he was never good.
He was never a good person.
His first idea was an online bank.
He's been a demon as long as we've known him the whole time.
How can he be making this decision?
Even if he were smart, he just likes money.
I don't know what to tell you.
Intelligence doesn't equal empathy for other people or selflessness.
like those are all distinct characteristics that are actually a hindrance when it comes to our economic system it is actually detrimental to you if you have any sort of conscience or any sort of like response felt responsibility towards the greater good or towards humanity or whatever that's not going to make you a millionaire that is not going you're not going to become a billionaire like that's just yeah this is not how it works
unfortunately i love so much that just like forbes stupid social media writer couldn't even spot a fake trump press release *laughter* Fucking idiot.
Yeah, Devin here justifies it.
Very hard to find justification for it, but you find it here.
A lot of people were just saying, well, it can't get much worse than it is now.
And it's like, really?
You've never heard of the Great Depression?
You've never heard of any number of economic disasters that any number of countries have had over the years that dwarf whatever experiences we've had as a nation since the Great Depression?
There's been economic downturns and recessions and stuff like that, and those are bad.
It can get a lot worse, folks.
But it's funny, they're still not even talking about the actual economy.
They're just like, all my money's going to gender-affirming surgeries now.
That's what they're thinking.
It doesn't get worse than this.
That's not happening, but they're just scared of everything.
Or like, I'm working for $20 an hour.
As an ambulance driver.
I'm working $20 an hour as an ambulance driver, and I'm mad because taxes take, like, 12% of that.
Like, what are you paying at that income bracket?
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
As opposed to, I don't know, the fucking $45 you should be making as a skilled employee who saves lives and, you know, the company makes billions or whatever.
It's like...
Even if everybody is...
And this is...
Maybe I think...
A big factor in the election is like, well, people don't think things are going the right way.
Polls have shown like 60% of respondents think things are going in the wrong direction.
And it's like, well, how does that equate to a Kamala Harris victory?
Wouldn't she be part of this administration?
Wouldn't she have to own this direction or whatever?
And it's like, well, people can see the other direction that Trump kind of wants to go in, which is just...
I would say a bigger drop in the direction we've been going.
You know, more austerity is what they're talking about.
More austerity, more domestic fascism, you know, arresting people and kicking people out of the country or whatever.
People don't want that.
But, like, you can't point to be like, well, under this system, things are still going okay.
Okay, yeah, things could be going worse, but you're not promising to change the system itself.
You're promising to fine-tune the system or get the system back up and running the way it's supposed to be.
And I think most people just don't have faith in this economic system, whether it's a real reason about...
The fucking top 1% and top 10% sucking up the wealth from everybody else, or it's a fake reason about, you know, draining adrenochrome from children or whatever.
People don't like the current system, you know?
So...
It's going to be harder and harder for the Democrats, I think, to convince people that their way...
Because we're not going to be able to just elect Kamala Harris and forget about it.
That's just not going to happen.
So I don't know what they're going to say next time.
It's that American delusion that everything is the president.
You know, it's like, well, as long as we just, you know, get the right president in there, everything's going to be fine.
It's like, no, there's so many systems that are already in play that have been in play with every president that, you know, comes in and out.
That's not the answer.
But they're just so convinced that as long as we don't have, like, as long as you don't have, you know, the guy wearing the red hat behind the podium, that's going to fix things.
And if you really want to, then have the conversation.
Talk about the actual policies, the actual law, the actual things that we need as a country and address those things instead of just being like, no, this guy bad.
Yeah, the right wing is doing the same thing.
I mean, they're saying we need to put Trump in there so grocery prices go down.
Yeah.
And it's like, how do you think he's going to do that?
Like magic?
Like anytime somebody posts about this in the Facebook groups, in the UPS Facebook, my coworker Facebook groups, It's like, well, he can't touch precious corporate profits.
He can't, like, tell corporations what to do.
So how is he going to make them lower prices?
With magic?
You know, like, he can say, okay, you get to pay all your employees half the amount.
And then they'll lower prices by a dollar.
Sounds like a good deal.
You know, like, what are you even supposing?
And then they go, oh, well, he's going to get rid of the immigrants.
How is that going to make your grocery prices cheaper, man?
I don't mean to equate immigrants to cheap labor, but guess what?
A lot of cheap labor is done with immigrants.
That's one reason prices aren't higher, because we let these fucking corporations do whatever they want.
If their overhead was even a dollar higher, they'd raise that dollar onto you.
Yeah, you think produce is expensive now?
Yeah.
Wait until that's your job to do it.
And it's funny, too, because Kamala's out here actually saying, we're going to lower prices.
And it's like, again, she doesn't have a magic wand to fix that.
Well, she can put in price controls.
The government can put in price controls.
She'll never do it.
But this is something the U.S. government has done before.
And it's something that a government should do, in my opinion, if things get out of control with these fucking monopolistic companies.
But we won't.
We'll never actually do that.
But it's like, that is what you would have to do.
I got a problem I don't know if I can shave Oh, they gonna tie me down if I'm just just my brain I can't stop the time alone Just how long it's forever
I keep falling in love Forever Check it, yeah I drive my Beamer in the summer when I'm ready to drift La Ferrara handle better and it's pretty as shit Feel safe in the road, big boy when I drive Love 'em all for different reasons at the same damn time
See monogamy, that shit is not for me One option for everybody, don't you lie to me Too many rules, I'm too curious to try to be.
Hiding things, feeling shame for the side of me.
Cause honestly, tea is not perfect.
So how can I get everything from one person?
I'm at the altar, but I'm still searching.
I'm only human.
If it ain't work, things change.
And nothing stay the same, I believe.
Maybe letting go is a beautiful thing.
Perfect for the time being.
I ain't do nothing wrong.
Life is short, but forever is so goddamn long.
I like a long time.
I'm on my own time.
I love this good old time.
I hit the gold mine.
I'm thinking new crib.
I'm thinking two kids.
Until I get infatuated with a new bitch.
Other of the final messages I've seen from the right wing and from the Trump campaign going into the election Tuesday today, if you're listening to it on Tuesday, is that Tim Walls allegedly told high school football players struggling with crime and alcohol to keep playing football.
And this is derogatory.
You gotta listen to me say this with a derogatory tone.
I mean, he's bad for doing this somehow.
This is a Fox News article.
That allegedly, I love allegedly, like, oh, it must be bad if they're saying only allegedly.
They don't want to get sued for him telling a student, don't quit football.
A high school student who's like partying and getting into bad shit.
He was like, hey, you should keep doing football as something positive in your life.
And me, as a conservative, I am so mad at this.
I am furious at the idea of a high school football coach trying to get a student to stop doing drugs and alcohol by playing football.
This is fucking...
He should have...
You should have slit his throat right then and there.
The second he found out this kid had a problem, zero tolerance in my mind.
It's called tough love, baby.
Their whole thing is like, I don't want criminals playing football.
Is that the mentality?
Is that what they're saying?
This is how you wind up with flashy hip-hop style athletes, Tony, because you tolerate this stuff.
Honestly, I'm over the celebrations when they score the touchdowns, and getting a criminal there is going to make it worse.
Absolutely.
And then I love if you saw this on Twitter, you didn't even have to read the article to find out what they were talking about, because the community notes is right under the tweet and says, the student is quoted in the article saying, quote, and he was right, I was wrong.
And later in life, when I continue to do that, when I continue to trust other people who love me, then it led my life in this beautiful direction, just like it did back then.
It is so funny, because it's such a sweet...
It's a good story.
It's a good horror...
Everybody would love this movie.
The idea, what they're trying to go with is, in the article, Tim Walls is quoted as saying something like, and again, this is like allegedly or whatever, but Tim Walls is saying, no, don't quit.
We need you on the team.
We need you here.
And they're choosing to interpret that as, I don't care about your alcohol struggles or I want to exploit you for this football team, which is something, again, we know the right wing is hypersensitive to, is exploiting children by forcing them to play school sports.
They're not on board with this, folks.
They're not down with it.
Like, no matter what that aggro dad at Little League who's yelling at his son from the sidelines, no matter what he's doing there, that's not how they really feel.
He doesn't speak for all of them.
So half the comments in the Fox News comment section on this were like, well, I don't like him, but it sounds like this is okay.
I'm not voting for him, but it sounds like a good thing.
A high school student playing football after school instead of shooting people or whatever.
I guess that's not terrible.
Yeah.
And then the other half of the comments were like J-Town Jim here who says, did Walls only coach high school football so he could be around vulnerable young men?
Fuck me.
And Henry J who says, probably turned him face down in the locker room.
Roll over and take it like a man!
What?
What?
This is how sick Walls is, Tony.
Yeah, by telling him you should be doing something positive with life, that's basically grooming.
He's basically grooming him to becoming a football player?
If you believe that story instead of the truth, which is that Walls probably pimped him out to all his middle-aged high school faculty union members, fellow union members, then I got a bridge to sell you, Tony.
Yeah, sorry.
No, this is how gross Walls is.
I can totally imagine him doing things like rolling a high school student face down and raping him.
Yeah, and this comment's so crazy because it just takes it so far.
It's because they think it's funny.
Again, I've said it for the millionth time.
It's hard to convince people you care about sexual assault or grooming or assault against children or whatever when it's also the funniest thing that can happen to somebody in your mind.
Yeah, it's your go-to joke.
They love believing that Biden sexually assaulted his daughter so they can make fun of it.
And again, they think this is like a winning message.
Look at how focused I am on child assault.
Yeah, it's all I think about it so I make sure it doesn't happen because it's all I think about.
I'm always aware of it.
Are you always aware of it?
If you're not always aware of it, it's probably happening all around you.
So you must accuse everyone around you of doing it.
More psychology here.
Another one of my favorite closing Trump campaign messages was Tucker Carlson at one of Trump's rallies saying that Trump is daddy and he's going to be coming home and spanking his 15-year-old daughter.
This is again, like so much has been happening that we haven't had really time to comment on.
And so that's one of the reasons I want to do this like roundup of all of all the cool election strategies that we've seen so far.
And this is like I'm not exact.
I'm not exaggerating.
We play some audio here.
This is from Isaac DeVore on DeVere on Twitter or Aaron Rupar.
I don't know one of these guys.
Just play it.
If you allow your two year old to smear the contents of his diapers on the wall of your living room and you do nothing about it.
If you allow your 14 year old to light a joint at the breakfast table.
If you at least wait till it's the dinner table.
Have some respect.
I told you, you can't do that.
You gotta wait till afterwards.
You know, you're not even gonna be high by the time you get to school anymore.
You gotta wait till after breakfast.
If it were my son, I would get mad that he weren't smoking two joints in the morning.
Wait...
You better have two more tonight, buddy.
You better have two more tonight.
Also, while you're at it, you seem pretty encumbered.
You know what would set you free?
40 ounces.
Did he say four-year-old?
14.
Okay, 14-year-old.
Okay, that's better.
That's better.
Allow your hormone-addled 15-year-old daughter to like slam the door of her bedroom and give you the finger.
You're going to get more of it.
And those kids are going to wind up in rehab.
It's not good for you.
I like how all their analogies are about their kids hating them.
Kids being mad at them and hating them and not respecting them.
Very interesting.
Also, a 14-year-old is at one point going to slam the door on you.
Now it's going to happen.
I'm like, oh no.
Rehab's next.
Also, I love that he acknowledges that hormones are at play, but that's no excuse.
You have to submit to me, no matter what crazy chemical reactions your body is having.
You have to treat me like the master of this house.
And you also have to deal with it.
You can't take any type of proactive measures.
You can't let your kid, if they really are having a problem where their hormones are out of control, they can't take birth control and anything like that because that's the devil and that's also going to end up in rehab but now with several kids from the birth control.
And it's not good for them.
No!
There has to be a point at which dad comes home.
Wait, wasn't dad there when she slammed the door?
Yeah, that's right.
No, because mom voted him out of the house.
Dude, are you not following the analogy?
Because mom and the fucking gender courts voted dad out of the house.
But it was a fake vote anyway.
I had the proof and they wouldn't let me show it.
Dad comes home.
And he's pissed!
Dad is pissed!
This is such a good message for everybody.
And dad's gonna come home and he's gonna abuse you.
He's gonna beat the shit out of you.
Cause he's pissed.
And it's time.
And the crowd is losing their minds.
The crowd is like, yes!
You know that 70 year old who can barely stand up?
Only talks about himself and his many grievances.
He's actually your frickin' daddy.
Don't you want him in?
He's your daddy.
He's gonna whip the country back into shape.
He's actually gonna spank your sister real good.
Yeah, because he gets a little graphic here.
Let me keep listening.
He's not vengeful.
He loves his children.
He's pissed!
Disobedient as they may be.
He loves them.
Because they're his children.
They live in his house.
But he's very disappointed.
Yeah, this is Donald Trump's house.
This country is Donald Trump's house.
And you are disrespecting it.
Again, a great message.
Their behavior.
And he's going to have to let them know.
Oh my god.
He's going to have to get to your room right now.
And think about what you did.
What?
Kamala, put your toys down right now.
Sit on your hands.
Nose against the wall.
I'm imagining this actual conversation and she's like, I'm in my room.
You're mad at me because I went to my room.
What do you want?
God, it's so cool that like to have political operatives imagining their opponents as children so they can hit them.
Oh, it would be okay for me to hit her if she were a baby and my daughter.
Yeah, that's the one.
Because I love her.
I only do it because I love her.
And when dad gets home, you know what he says?
You've been a bad girl.
You've been a bad little girl and you're...
I can't...
This is real, okay?
I'm not falling for AI or something.
This is an actual thing.
That was deep, unfortunately.
Tucker Carlson, like the number one right-wing pundit, probably the headliner of this turning point action campaign.
Rally, this Trump rally, saying that America's a bad little girl and Trump's gonna spank her bottom.
But in a wholesome way.
So weird.
And when dad gets home, you know what he says?
You've been a bad girl.
You've been a bad little girl and you're getting a vigorous spanking right now.
Every word you choose is the worst.
It's not going to hurt me more than it hurts you.
No, it's not.
I'm not going to lie.
He's like red-faced with how excited he is.
He's like smiling, yelling, red-faced about how excited he is at the thought of spanking a 15-year-old daughter to the point where it hurts her.
And the whole qualifier between that kind of parental abuse is the whole supposed to be, this hurts me more than it hurts you.
But he's like, not even.
No.
I'm going to love it!
No.
Vigorously.
Vigorously.
You're getting a vigorous spanking right now.
And no, it's not going to hurt me more than it hurts you.
No, it's not.
I'm not going to lie.
This is going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me.
And you earned this.
It's so cool.
What cool people, man.
Does Tucker Carlson have a 15-year-old daughter?
Does he have a daughter at all?
I feel like if he did, she'd be poisoning his breakfast.
I hope so.
Oh yeah, I think he has a lot of kids.
Man, I hope they're okay.
That's terrifying.
Because he did escalate.
It did go from a spanking to a beating.
He's like, this is going to hurt.
This is going to hurt real bad.
If you put a 15-year-old daughter over your knee and spank her...
Like, I don't know if you're waking up the next morning.
Like, that's a super sketchy thing to do, man.
I don't like...
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
If you spanked your 15-year-old daughter, she's never talking to you again.
No.
I don't like...
Insane.
But to obviously take so much pleasure and relishing in it.
Like, this is...
I don't know.
This is a fantasy of his.
It's fucked up.
It's fucked up.
Let me take this off the screen.
Yeah, vote for Trump because, like Tucker said, he's your daddy.
He's finally coming home to spank his 15-year-old daughter, which is, yeah, your sister or something like that.
And vote for Trump because, under him, the dog-eating, corpse-dismembering RFK will make fluoride illegal and put you in a work camp if you have mental illness.
I've seen both of those from RFK Jr., who's going to be the health czar for the Trump administration and is going to ban putting fluoride in the nation's water supply if he is elected.
Never mind that states and countries who have tried removing fluoride from the water supply have found a 700% increase in tooth decay in children.
Yeah.
And then if you try to point that out to these people...
They'll say, no, it's because they have too many immigrants.
That's what it is.
That's what it is.
All the children with bad teeth are immigrants.
I don't know if you remember that, but all my friends, all my friends who were, I'll say, not American, loved candy.
Yeah.
They loved candy.
And, you know, my daughter's coming home with all kinds of candies, spicy ones even, you know, and I'm going to say it's because of the immigrants.
I'm like, you got to stop hanging out as immigrants.
You keep bringing candy back.
Well, anyway, it's like, okay, the immigrants are the ones with bad teeth.
Does their country or their infrastructure have fluoridated water?
Yeah.
I mean, if that's your argument, we can talk about it.
But, yeah, incredible stuff.
And then probably my favorite...
Attempt at an October surprise, like my favorite attempt from the right wing as like a, you know, vote for Trump, vote out this current administration, has been...
Don't vote for Kamala because Jill Biden was mocking child sexual assault survivors with her panda Halloween costume.
Have you seen this, Tony?
I missed this one, too.
I didn't know she was.
That's really fucked up.
She shouldn't be doing that.
Oh, my God.
Oh my god.
I was like, how are they going to stretch this?
How are they going to make this a thing?
And then this image pops up.
Oh my fucking god.
I saw this on Twitter from xpunknessx who I bet isn't even straight edge.
No.
No.
And they've put a photo of, I guess, Jill Biden.
This is the first time I saw Jill Biden's Halloween costume.
She wore like a full suit panda.
Not a stuff, but what do you call it?
Just like a full panda suit.
Like you would see it at the zoo or Disneyland if they had a panda character.
I guess they do.
This is the one that Jack Black wears when he works at Disneyland, right?
Yeah.
Probably.
That makes sense.
That's DreamWorks.
Never mind.
I love the idea of an old celebrity, old politician just in a full panda suit.
That's kind of adorable to me.
Just looking at this panda head, knowing that there's an elderly first lady inside there.
This is the first time I've ever thought about liking her or even thinking about her, but kind of being endeared to her.
Like, oh, this is cute.
This is cool.
They've put her panda head, the photo of Jill Stein in the panda costume, the panda head, next to a photo of a kid with two black eyes, two, like, giant black eyes.
Brutal black eyes.
And it says, the caption says, from a survivor.
Fuck you, Flotus.
Fuck you, at Flotus.
Hashtag IYKYK, which means if you know, you know, and nobody can ever prove you wrong.
Yep.
Never listen to anybody else.
If you know, then you just know, and nobody can take that away from you.
And what she's talking about is more QAnon, child sexual assault obsessed insanity, which is the idea that the panda is a symbol for child abuse because sometimes when child abuse happens, the children get black eyes.
Man, I don't want to dismiss people's trauma or anything like that.
But if you see a panda...
And the first thing you think about is child abuse and hearkening back to your own experience.
Please seek therapy.
Please.
You need so much help.
And I'm so sorry.
If you see a fucking adorable...
Pandas are just worldly known as the cutest things.
Pandas are just cute and wholesome.
And if you see that and you're mocking child abuse, you're fucked up in the head.
You are fucked up in the head for sure.
Okay, so where she got this actual photo from of the child with two black eyes, guess what?
She was a child in Gaza who suffered a broken skull and fractured nose that caused bruises around the eyes in a 2014 missile strike.
So not even the current war on Palestine and Gaza.
I mean, it's all just one ongoing occupation and suppression, obviously.
But...
In, like, this is the same thing that I feel like we talk about this every fucking week with what the right wing cares about is the fake thing.
They care about them.
They made something up to get extremely upset about.
And to find any real-world analogy for that, they had to pull from a very real ongoing tragedy that they've been deliberately ignoring and actually probably cheering on.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
There are real things that you should be upset about, that you are upset about, that you don't even realize.
You can't see the actual fact that you have to fabricate the whole thing because you live in this world where everything's a lie except for what you believe.
It's so disgusting.
You should be pissed about this picture.
You should be irate about this picture.
But it has nothing to do with Jill Biden's Halloween costume, I assure you.
It has something to do with Biden's.
The Bidens are involved in this picture.
Sure, yeah.
But it has nothing to do with that costume.
That's a good point.
Yeah, I mean, it's making up weather engineering to explain the climate change that you don't believe in.
Yeah.
So you can get upset at the right people.
So you can choose who to get upset with.
You have to make up a fake thing.
Yeah, pretty phenomenal.
Sunshine says, incredibly disturbing.
They would have a party theme like that, knowing how many know.
And this is what's insulting, Tony, is that not only do they know what they're doing, they know that we all know.
The silent majority knows about this, and they're rubbing it in our fucking faces.
Just doing it on an open site.
Was the theme pandas?
I think it was probably a Halloween costume, I was assuming.
And maybe everybody had to go as a panda, because again, these are sick individuals.
Because yeah, they would have a whole theme, a party themed around this?
This is disgusting.
X-Punkness, X replies, I'm shaking with rage, ATM. Oh, man.
I'm sorry, ex-punkness.
Ronnie Walkies says, broke my heart to see the panda costume.
It was deliberate and a slap in the face to victims of adrenochrome abuse.
Adrenochrome abuse.
How many children of trafficking have lost their lives due to this?
Due to the panda, you're telling me that the most powerful woman in the world doesn't have an influence on human traffickers.
If she goes up there and puts on a panda costume, you don't think human traffickers are going to be like, whoa, she's like me.
Representation matters.
I'm going to do twice as much human trafficking now.
Yeah, yeah, it's open season now, now that she's seen this costume.
Like, oh my god, it's so insane.
Don't give Megan the mic replies.
I just watched a video of a girl who said that she thinks that they very well may have done it on purpose to sabotage Harris.
Like, not only do we all know this, do we all know what the panda means?
They know that we all know what the panda means.
So the only reason they could be doing this is because they actually secretly want Harris to lose.
That's how important the people with my specific psychosis are to this election.
Can you believe it?
So it's like, if you feel that way, then let him rock.
Let him wear more panda costumes.
Yeah, symbols will be their downfall.
Sit back and enjoy the show, folks.
Come on.
But, well, you know what?
Sorry, we're just glossing over this.
I apologize.
He did say he saw a video of a girl saying that.
So, this might be extremely real, because there's a video of a girl.
Source?
I don't believe this girl actually exists.
If you can present a girl saying this, then I'll validate your story.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, no link, nothing.
And then punk, punk, punctress or whatever is like, yeah, that was me.
It was, I'm the girl.
I made a video of it too.
Yeah, do not, punkness, I know you're punk, don't ever watch a My Chemical Romance music video.
Oh, wow, yeah, the mockery.
You will be severely traumatized by the horrors within.
Oh, man.
It's going to be rough.
You think that's just eyeliner?
No.
That is mocking the victims of adrenochrome abuse.
Yeah.
Everything means something.
It's just mind-blowing.
Okay, well, happy election, everybody.
I hope we've given people enough information to make an informed choice, presented all the pros and cons of each candidate, and now you can go out there and fulfill your duty and save democracy either way.
It sounds like if you vote for Trump, you're saving democracy, and if you vote for Harris, you're saving democracy.
So it's like, win-win.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, and if this wasn't enough for you, if this was not enough, you know, good stuff, and it is election day, and you're listening to this right now, and you're in the Los Angeles area, bang my line, having a little election watch party with some of the friends, people like Jake Flores, Jamie Peck, Anders Lee, Felicia G, and a couple other friends of mine, and we're going to be getting together.
And watching this and having a little fun, a little commentary about it.
It should be a good time.
Bang my line for the address.
Yeah, it should be nice.
Come through.
Oh, this is like Ask a Punk?
You're not allowed to say where it is?
Yeah.
Interesting.
All right.
Wow.
Secret.
Well, I think it's supposed to be a nail-biter of an election, so we probably won't know for 24 or 48 hours anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Yeah, it's just an excuse to hang out in my mind, so that's what I'm doing.
Yeah, hell yeah.
Okay, well, to get more Minion Death Cult, a bonus episode every week, go to patreon.com slash minion death cult, P-A-T-R-E-O-N dot com slash minion death cult.
Five bucks a month gets you a bonus episode every single week.
For Patreon subscribers, I might have to figure out what we're doing because I think they're going to make me turn it into a subscription model or something like that.
So hopefully that can happen seamlessly.
If not, we'll work through it.
The point is because they want to be able to sell people subscriptions through the iOS Patreon app and Apple is going to start taking a cut.
Of every Patreon subscription that's made through the Patreon iOS app.
I've never, I use the Patreon iOS app to like comment or to reply to DMs and stuff like that.
I don't use it to actually listen to the show.
I've heard it's whatever for actually listening to the show.
I don't recommend anybody sign up through the Patreon app.
Just go to patreon.com slash miniondeathcult.com.
Like I've always tried to get people to do.
And you should be fine.
Apple won't get any of your money, as far as I know.
As with the subscription thing, hopefully that'll be seamless as well.
But thanks to everybody for supporting us over there.
You're helping us do the show, helping us pay our bills and produce fairly good content week to week.
