Speaker 2: happen type of feelings as well. So we're calling this
0:32
Speaker 2: the mixed bag happy hour. Okay, oh yeah, you're like
0:36
Speaker 2: that mixed bag. But before we start, as per usual,
0:40
Speaker 2: we are currently not being sponsored by any of if
0:43
Speaker 2: we do affiliates or products or any of the such
0:46
Speaker 2: that we talk about, if they eventually come to sponsor
0:49
Speaker 2: us and they're a great company, love that, do that
0:53
Speaker 2: for me.
0:53
Speaker 1: We're here, give me things.
0:55
Speaker 2: And also, if you're doing happy hour activities as implied
0:59
Speaker 2: by this episode, whenever you may be listening, do so responsibly.
1:04
Speaker 2: We love you, we want you to stick around, be healthy. Friend, Annie,
1:10
Speaker 2: are you doing any happy hour stuff responsibly?
1:13
Speaker 1: I am? I am. I'm still working through some of
1:18
Speaker 1: my My mom gives me like six bottles of wine
1:22
Speaker 1: for my birthday, so still still working through that. And
1:26
Speaker 1: it's a nice crisp red wine today Chris, it's pretty crisp.
1:31
Speaker 2: You gotta keep it crisp. I am working off like
1:37
Speaker 2: my body, I guess, fighting everything off, whether it's stress,
1:41
Speaker 2: whether it's the viruses that are still continuing to happen
1:44
Speaker 2: all around us. My mother just had COVID, so I'm
1:47
Speaker 2: sticking with ginger all today. I am being old school,
1:49
Speaker 2: like I love old school remedies because I'm also peek
1:56
Speaker 2: behind the curtain and hopefully you can't tell I'm having
1:59
Speaker 2: a peppermint because that is the only thing that really
2:02
Speaker 2: immediately helps me with any nauseousness or stomach aches. Udly,
2:08
Speaker 2: I don't love like old school remedies. I mean it's
2:10
Speaker 2: like it's known, it's like this does help and all
2:13
Speaker 2: these things. But like ginger ill and peppermint I hold,
2:16
Speaker 2: I hold pretty closely to my heart as home remedies.
2:21
Speaker 1: I think I'm not a big ginger al person, but
2:23
Speaker 1: ginger like those ginger cheese. Yes, if I'm nauseated.
2:27
Speaker 2: Those do work as well. Yeah, to be fair, most
2:29
Speaker 2: of the ginger ales don't have ginger in it. Well,
2:32
Speaker 2: it's the phizzy vibe. But also sprite would help with me.
2:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, my mom was big on that. Yeah, old school
2:39
Speaker 1: is the right chick.
2:42
Speaker 2: Chicken soup for me. Peppermints like these are the things
2:45
Speaker 2: because Tom's actually made it worse. I don't know if
2:47
Speaker 2: that's the chalkiness that made me feel like, oh, almost
2:50
Speaker 2: immediately vomit. Anyway, I just went derailed this whole happy hour. Nonetheless,
2:54
Speaker 2: we're back. I'm back, I'm back, And honestly, we have
2:58
Speaker 2: had some hopeful moments as dark things have been in
3:00
Speaker 2: the US. Go ahead, time stamp this here. It is
3:04
Speaker 2: November six five. I got the year right this time, Annie,
3:08
Speaker 2: you did, I did. I was struggling, oh and all
3:12
Speaker 2: the way to the nineties at one point. But we've
3:15
Speaker 2: had some really good news and hopeful moments. I think
3:19
Speaker 2: we've had a lot of back and forth in conversation
3:22
Speaker 2: of like, is the new generation a better generation that
3:25
Speaker 2: are learning from our mistakes or are they just cycling
3:27
Speaker 2: back to old school ways because they're listening for the
3:31
Speaker 2: first time old rhetoric, old conspiracy theories and the tricks
3:35
Speaker 2: of the trade of systemic racism and why those ployees
3:39
Speaker 2: from white supremacists work. But we've had great news. If
3:44
Speaker 2: you don't already know, New York City ended up electing
3:50
Speaker 2: Zoran Mandani, which is a huge deal which I'm not
3:53
Speaker 2: gonna speak too much of because I'm not in New York,
3:55
Speaker 2: but if you've been watching and you're on like left
3:58
Speaker 2: leaning TikTok or social media, a lot of people were like,
4:01
Speaker 2: I'm not voting for Mundani because we're not there, Like
4:04
Speaker 2: that has been like the big conversation, and it's true.
4:07
Speaker 2: I would have loved to voted. And I love seeing
4:09
Speaker 2: millionaires who put money backing monopoly types of fascist regimes
4:17
Speaker 2: lose to that. Like I love everything about this, and
4:20
Speaker 2: it does bring a whole new level of hope when
4:24
Speaker 2: you see all the bad things that have happened around
4:25
Speaker 2: the world. So congratulations to that campaign. Congratulations New York City.
4:29
Speaker 2: We are proud of you. Here in Georgia, we have
4:32
Speaker 2: had some amazing news. So it's been over almost twenty years.
4:36
Speaker 2: So two thousand and six was the last time we
4:39
Speaker 2: had any Democratic leaders for the Public Service Commissioner, and
4:43
Speaker 2: for the first time in almost twenty years, we flipped
4:46
Speaker 2: those seats. Love this like, I love everything about this.
4:51
Speaker 2: Peter Hubbard and doctor Alicia Johnson were the winners of
4:57
Speaker 2: the Public Service Commissioner positions and we love everything about this.
5:01
Speaker 2: We've had a whole conversation about the monopoly when it
5:04
Speaker 2: comes to Georgia Power, and they have continued to increase
5:07
Speaker 2: prices without any kind of hesitancy, with no actual oversight,
5:13
Speaker 2: and a lot of the people in that commission we're
5:16
Speaker 2: making money and we're making private deals. To the point,
5:19
Speaker 2: I mean, y'all, there was so much conspiracies. There are
5:23
Speaker 2: so much a muck in this situation. We had a
5:26
Speaker 2: woman going through and got their files to show contracts
5:29
Speaker 2: to see how underhanded the dealings were, and she immediately
5:32
Speaker 2: got arrested. Hero, we love you. Hats off to her.
5:37
Speaker 2: I think she used to be a counselwoman or part
5:40
Speaker 2: of that commission and then she was not voted in.
5:43
Speaker 2: But she was like, you know what, the public deserves
5:45
Speaker 2: to know. We never did get to know because they
5:47
Speaker 2: arrested her before she couldn't release it.
5:50
Speaker 1: I have to say though, based on like next door
5:55
Speaker 1: is a minefield, we need to come back and talk
5:56
Speaker 1: about what's going on next door again. But people were
6:00
Speaker 1: invested in this, but they wanted to know more about it.
6:04
Speaker 1: They were like really angry about it. So it was
6:07
Speaker 1: something people were talking about for.
6:09
Speaker 2: Sure, it was a pretty big deal. I think it
6:13
Speaker 2: went viral on several posts because they were like who
6:17
Speaker 2: is this hero and then people going to find a
6:19
Speaker 2: demonizer that wasn't working. It's kind of like some of
6:22
Speaker 2: the things that we've seen with a certain person who
6:26
Speaker 2: was currently on trial for murder, like they did not
6:31
Speaker 2: expect who the hero would be in these stories. Surprisingly
6:36
Speaker 2: because I think, again, this is kind of the low
6:41
Speaker 2: rumblings of like unhappiness of the public. But what we
6:45
Speaker 2: saw again with the Georgia Public Commissions, it's a huge
6:47
Speaker 2: thing because it was a whole state voting, so it
6:52
Speaker 2: kind of shows you what the people want so when
6:56
Speaker 2: it's not gerrymandered and what that looks like now, and
6:59
Speaker 2: it kind of gives me a lot of hope about
7:00
Speaker 2: the governor's race and next year. I don't know if
7:03
Speaker 2: you're aware, Georgia has several key elections coming up again.
7:08
Speaker 2: The governor of race is coming up, as well as
7:10
Speaker 2: John Ossof's seat. Who I hope John Asoff has the
7:16
Speaker 2: courage to stand for the people of Georgia and not
7:21
Speaker 2: buckle under some of the pressures because he has disappointed
7:25
Speaker 2: me a few times, which I had high hopes for him,
7:30
Speaker 2: and I have high hopes for or not as well,
7:33
Speaker 2: Like we were so proud as a community to be
7:37
Speaker 2: able to say we elected and turned the state blue,
7:40
Speaker 2: which was amazing. Obviously with all the conversations that have had,
7:45
Speaker 2: but I feel like he's backtracked on some of the
7:47
Speaker 2: things that are pretty important to a key amount of
7:50
Speaker 2: people and his constituents. So I don't know. I know
7:53
Speaker 2: things are hard with the government shut down. We have
7:58
Speaker 2: not even talked about Snap benefits or the loss of
8:01
Speaker 2: Snap benefits and what's happening today with that. But what
8:05
Speaker 2: we do know is they're holding that over everyone's head
8:09
Speaker 2: for the sake of companies making more money and having
8:13
Speaker 2: people lose access to healthcare. So it's such an ugly
8:17
Speaker 2: bargain that it makes everything looks like gross. And by
8:22
Speaker 2: the way, apparently the current administration decided to have a
8:26
Speaker 2: Gatsbye type of party, which is like a little two
8:29
Speaker 2: on the nose bro.
8:32
Speaker 1: A little bit.
8:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is what I'm talking about, this mixed bag
8:36
Speaker 3: of conversation because it's kind of like, oh, yeah, we
8:39
Speaker 3: can celebrate, but at the same time, we're very vigilant
8:41
Speaker 3: in knowing that this is just a minor setback for
8:44
Speaker 3: them because I feel like they're not angry enough that
8:47
Speaker 3: means they have something.
8:48
Speaker 1: Up their sleeves.
8:48
Speaker 2: This is what's kind of concerning me. I've also seen
9:01
Speaker 2: so many small elections, and I say small as in
9:03
Speaker 2: like mayoral elections in the state of Georgia specifically, were
9:07
Speaker 2: smaller towns that are very red towns that all of
9:10
Speaker 2: a sudden flipped into having democratic leaders and I love
9:13
Speaker 2: every bit of that. And I've seen a lot more
9:15
Speaker 2: black women, African American women being able to be a
9:19
Speaker 2: part of that leadership. Hello, Bainbridge, Georgia, which again pretty
9:24
Speaker 2: significantly read for a long while, just elected their first woman,
9:27
Speaker 2: first black woman, first you know, Democrat in a very
9:31
Speaker 2: very long time, and I'm like, wa, yeah, I mean,
9:36
Speaker 2: and there's several other little cities like this that have
9:39
Speaker 2: like come through. I believe that Atlanta just elected this
9:42
Speaker 2: first Democratic Socialist on their Atlanta City Council, which is
9:46
Speaker 2: pretty significant if you don't know what has happened with
9:48
Speaker 2: copp City and how big that Atlanta City Council was
9:52
Speaker 2: a part of allowing for that type of establishment to
9:56
Speaker 2: be built. Dot dot dot dot, a whole lot of
10:00
Speaker 2: sort of history as well, but all of these victories
10:03
Speaker 2: are big Virginia just like to a democratic governor, we'd
10:09
Speaker 2: love to see that. And there's so much other conversations
10:12
Speaker 2: in this level. Prop fifty happened in California, which feels
10:16
Speaker 2: kind of shady, Yeah, but it's playing the game in
10:19
Speaker 2: the long run, so like, I'm not gonna not acknowledge
10:22
Speaker 2: that as being shady. It is, but it definitely was
10:24
Speaker 2: a response to the jerrymanderin conversations that were happening in Texas,
10:27
Speaker 2: so kind of this level of like, oh my god,
10:29
Speaker 2: why do we have to do this trickery? But at
10:31
Speaker 2: the same time, it feels like the left has been
10:35
Speaker 2: too honorable to a certain degree. Yeah, And the one
10:39
Speaker 2: thing I loved about one person's comment about Mandani is
10:42
Speaker 2: like one person's literally said, Okay, now I have to
10:44
Speaker 2: go from loving him so much and putting him on
10:48
Speaker 2: a pedestal to keeping him accountable. And I was like, yes,
10:51
Speaker 2: that is that is the definition of what we do
10:54
Speaker 2: when everybody we talk about this level of like holding
10:58
Speaker 2: democrats responsible. That is absolutely what we always have said
11:02
Speaker 2: when we see sexual accusations and we're like, you need
11:05
Speaker 2: to step down, no matter if This hurts that moment,
11:09
Speaker 2: no matter if some of the things you've done or
11:11
Speaker 2: is good, but if some of the things that we
11:13
Speaker 2: hold value is being completely dishonored with your actions, then yes,
11:18
Speaker 2: we want someone who is reputable. We can't have a
11:20
Speaker 2: perfect person, but we know the lines that we have,
11:23
Speaker 2: and I think that's some of the conversation again, when
11:26
Speaker 2: we talked about the presidential election, about Harris, and we
11:30
Speaker 2: were like, we don't love Harris. This is not a
11:32
Speaker 2: thing where we were worshiping this person. We don't love Biden, don't.
11:36
Speaker 2: We don't think he's God. And everything they do wrong,
11:39
Speaker 2: we want to hold them accountable. But at the very
11:40
Speaker 2: least we know that we can, we have a more
11:43
Speaker 2: likelihood of making the difference and making our voices heard
11:46
Speaker 2: and being able to negotiate or to at least get
11:49
Speaker 2: our concerns out there and changes to happen as opposed
11:54
Speaker 2: to what is happening today. Yeah, which is what we've
11:58
Speaker 2: talked about repeatedly. But with all of that, there's so
12:01
Speaker 2: many more other victories. And I want to hear about
12:03
Speaker 2: your individual areas. I know y'all are going to chime
12:05
Speaker 2: in it because it's been some good things happen as
12:08
Speaker 2: of November fourth, but that means we are coming background
12:11
Speaker 2: with all right, new things are happening, New elections are happening,
12:15
Speaker 2: New things are like in conversation some of the people
12:18
Speaker 2: here in Georgia, again, this governor's races has already gotten ugly,
12:24
Speaker 2: like go back and forth about who's going to do
12:26
Speaker 2: for what primary in itself has become interesting.
12:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been I was interested in this because even
12:39
Speaker 1: though I think a lot more people know about it now.
12:43
Speaker 1: You know, local races don't necessarily draw that much attention nationally.
12:49
Speaker 1: But I saw a lot of reporting about what was
12:51
Speaker 1: happening in Georgia. And I think there was an article
12:54
Speaker 1: from Politico or AP but they had they had a
12:59
Speaker 1: quote from some body of Republican strategists who wish to
13:02
Speaker 1: remain anonymous, and he said, the thing that scares me
13:06
Speaker 1: the most is what happened in Georgia. That should really
13:09
Speaker 1: how did they get so many people to come out
13:12
Speaker 1: for this election?
13:14
Speaker 2: And again, like I think, I think our individual people,
13:17
Speaker 2: like there's enough people talking about the voting situation in
13:20
Speaker 2: Georgia that we had so many people putting out videos
13:23
Speaker 2: upon videos about who was doing what who was doing
13:26
Speaker 2: where being aware know that this is happening. Okay, we
13:29
Speaker 2: know that this place, these places are changing voting registration
13:33
Speaker 2: like they did all that. By the way they did
13:35
Speaker 2: all it's not making the news anymore because it's an
13:37
Speaker 2: old tricks, the amount of people that they threw out
13:40
Speaker 2: off the registrar and to have to repeat like I
13:43
Speaker 2: looked every day up until the day I went to
13:45
Speaker 2: vote to make sure myself and my partner were good
13:48
Speaker 2: to go. And it was so funny because they had
13:51
Speaker 2: a I always look at the preview ballot ballots, but
13:54
Speaker 2: they have all of Georgia and I'm like, wait, oh,
13:57
Speaker 2: we don't who Why would Who's this first? And I
14:00
Speaker 2: got really scared because I was like, oh, no.
14:01
Speaker 1: Too, because I need to research everybody. And I'm like,
14:04
Speaker 1: wait a minute, this cannot be right.
14:06
Speaker 2: I cannot be right to the point, so I'm indicatur
14:09
Speaker 2: and Atlanta mayor mayoral race was happening as well, which
14:13
Speaker 2: that is whatever that is.
14:16
Speaker 3: Uh.
14:16
Speaker 2: And the dude was watching me, look out, look at
14:19
Speaker 2: the example ballot, and he's like, hey, hey, it's okay,
14:23
Speaker 2: We're not going to be We're not voting for Atlanta
14:25
Speaker 2: mayor I was like, oh yeah, oh yeah, okay, thank
14:27
Speaker 2: you because he saw the panic in my eyes. He
14:30
Speaker 2: saw the panic happen. He's like, we're not in Atlanta
14:33
Speaker 2: or in Decatur. I was like, oh, oh god, thank
14:36
Speaker 2: you because I just had a moment of like, did
14:38
Speaker 2: I forget something?
14:39
Speaker 1: Yeap. I actually there was one on my ballot that
14:44
Speaker 1: I didn't know and I don't know how I missed it,
14:47
Speaker 1: but I just wrote in somebody else's name because I
14:49
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not going to vote for somebody I
14:51
Speaker 1: don't know anything about because it didn't even have like
14:53
Speaker 1: Democratic Republican. It was just like oh names, and I'm like, no, no, no,
14:57
Speaker 1: I can't do that. I don't know how this say,
15:00
Speaker 1: but I just cannot vote for somebody I know.
15:02
Speaker 2: I don't do research. Like that's the things like we
15:05
Speaker 2: want to be fully aware and just as a reminder,
15:09
Speaker 2: don't be discouraged. It's okay, you go, do you do
15:13
Speaker 2: the best you can write in if you're not sure.
15:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've written in your name before.
15:19
Speaker 2: Oh no, And I'm like, how many times?
15:24
Speaker 1: Three years?
15:25
Speaker 2: At least twenty years. But yeah, but that's so funny.
15:29
Speaker 2: But yeah, there's so much to this conversation. But I
15:32
Speaker 2: will say social media has really done such a great
15:34
Speaker 2: job in that. And I know, like one of the
15:36
Speaker 2: big creators in science world who I'm not a huge
15:39
Speaker 2: fan of, but it's okay. He did a whole video
15:44
Speaker 2: which trackted millions and everybody's like thank him for it.
15:46
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, no, we're not doing that. We're not
15:50
Speaker 2: taking away from the individual creators that live in the
15:53
Speaker 2: state of Georgia that went through not only going through
15:56
Speaker 2: and having this conversation about who each person was, but
15:59
Speaker 2: also feeling like this woman, Patricia Durand is the woman
16:03
Speaker 2: we're talking about. Specifically she was She's a big critic
16:07
Speaker 2: to the Public Commission because they were like, this is
16:09
Speaker 2: getting scary, and so she got charged with us stealing
16:12
Speaker 2: trade secrets, which is also really shady to have trade
16:16
Speaker 2: secrets for public commission that we pay for. Yeah, why
16:21
Speaker 2: is not even a thing?
16:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I have to say one of the things
16:26
Speaker 1: I found really interesting, I feel like I'm one of
16:30
Speaker 1: the few people that somehow still watches a lot of ads.
16:33
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of ads about this race, and
16:37
Speaker 1: like Jordan, but they were specifically saying, like Georgia powers,
16:42
Speaker 1: raising your prices. Republicans are with the billionaires and looking
16:45
Speaker 1: the other way, And I just thought that was a
16:47
Speaker 1: really like we might be coming to a turning point.
16:50
Speaker 1: But you know, if people can't afford basic utilities, then yeah, they.
16:55
Speaker 2: Keep increasing the charge without any ability to dispute or
16:59
Speaker 2: ask why. And it's just based on things including the
17:02
Speaker 2: fact that when they build something or if something goes wrong,
17:05
Speaker 2: they charge the consumer. Like they've admitted to all of
17:07
Speaker 2: these things when they are a multimillion dollars if not
17:11
Speaker 2: billion dollar company making amounts of money that are going
17:15
Speaker 2: to people like Tim Nichols, who, by the way, was
17:17
Speaker 2: so like nonchalant that he really thought he had it
17:20
Speaker 2: in the bag, which was the first mistake because he
17:23
Speaker 2: is an incumbent and he was like no, no, no, no,
17:25
Speaker 2: and making all these shady deals behind closed doors. Which again,
17:29
Speaker 2: if it's for the public, why are they having trade
17:32
Speaker 2: deals that are secret? Yeah, exactly Again, Durand I don't
17:38
Speaker 2: know her political stuff. I'm sure there's a lot of
17:40
Speaker 2: things that when we come to the trough the black
17:41
Speaker 2: she's not great, but for this instance, hats off, heads off.
17:47
Speaker 2: We don't talk enough about that. But yes, so there
17:50
Speaker 2: was a lot of great things, and I think, again,
17:52
Speaker 2: what I'm concerned about it is that people don't seem
17:55
Speaker 2: to be as concerned, Like, yeah, Republicans are kind of mad,
17:58
Speaker 2: I'm doing all these racist tropes that they tip they
18:00
Speaker 2: would in every and all ways in all the capacities.
18:04
Speaker 2: But it's kind of like they've already figured out the
18:07
Speaker 2: gerimadering thing. Things that are going to the Supreme Courts.
18:09
Speaker 2: They're gutting the Voting Rights Act. We know what's happening.
18:12
Speaker 2: So they don't seem to be as concerned as we
18:14
Speaker 2: think they should be. But with things like California, who
18:18
Speaker 2: is kind of you know, meeting them on their level
18:21
Speaker 2: in this conversation, it does look better. But I am
18:26
Speaker 2: concerned as to seeing that the State of Georgia does
18:28
Speaker 2: not seem like they're shocked. I really think they thought
18:31
Speaker 2: they were going to be kind of more untouchable than
18:33
Speaker 2: they were. But the fact that they're not so worried,
18:37
Speaker 2: or maybe they are, and they're just doing it in
18:38
Speaker 2: secret as they typically do. And we're having bills, well,
18:41
Speaker 2: we should be watching out for secret bills coming to
18:43
Speaker 2: light soon. So there are things that we definitely have
18:46
Speaker 2: to have that conversation. So there's some really great stuff.
18:49
Speaker 2: But again with the really great stuff, we have to
18:52
Speaker 2: continue to watch and see what is happening behind closed doors. Kemp,
18:58
Speaker 2: he's got his legacy to suck up to all of
19:01
Speaker 2: the Republicans here before he leaves. I'm actually surprised he's leaving.
19:07
Speaker 2: I wonder if he's like made enough money so he's
19:10
Speaker 2: feeling secure. That's only good I can or he's making
19:13
Speaker 2: big plays later.
19:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe this is my conspiracy theory. We were talking
19:28
Speaker 1: about conspiracy theories before this, but like, whatever is going
19:32
Speaker 1: on with Marjorie Taylor Green, who I still think is terrible,
19:35
Speaker 1: but she said some things that are like what that
19:38
Speaker 1: are very I don't know, democratic leaning, I don't know,
19:43
Speaker 1: but I'm like, did she get a deal with CNA?
19:45
Speaker 2: Like what?
19:47
Speaker 1: Because she's also leaving, so I'm just I'm always like,
19:52
Speaker 1: did you get a book deal? What the thing are you?
19:55
Speaker 2: A Canice Owen's like, are you going to back and
19:57
Speaker 2: become your own network? Well see AOC responded this, and
20:03
Speaker 2: AOC's response was that she feels like Marjorie Taylor Green
20:07
Speaker 2: is going scorched earth because her people did not back her,
20:12
Speaker 2: so she quickly found out that whole like all but me,
20:15
Speaker 2: if I play this game, they'll they'll support me as
20:18
Speaker 2: a one woman. And then she found out, oh no,
20:20
Speaker 2: they're gonna be misogynistic and sex this towards me too.
20:22
Speaker 2: What let me flip this because Trump did not give
20:27
Speaker 2: the approval for her to run for governor, which she
20:30
Speaker 2: would she was actually looking to do, and then when
20:32
Speaker 2: she did not have any support, after sucking up to
20:36
Speaker 2: Mega as much as she did, she was like, well, fine,
20:39
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do the opposite. It's kind of too late
20:41
Speaker 2: because we over here in this lead left leading era
20:45
Speaker 2: were like, no, we know what you did. You will
20:48
Speaker 2: never forget what you did. We will never accept you
20:51
Speaker 2: into this like like we'll say that if you're okay,
20:54
Speaker 2: like as in like you do you great, we'll stop,
20:57
Speaker 2: I guess calling you out as much. If you don't
21:01
Speaker 2: say stupid things in her ass, if you don't say
21:04
Speaker 2: ignorant things right and stop poraspic people. Great, But we're
21:08
Speaker 2: never going to be like, oh yeah, definitely she should
21:11
Speaker 2: represent us.
21:12
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, no, no, no, no.
21:15
Speaker 2: Never like the people that we'd like, we still don't trust.
21:20
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, it's just bizarre enough to be like.
21:26
Speaker 2: Oh, no, what when you start agreeing with people that
21:28
Speaker 2: you despise, there's this level like you have to question.
21:31
Speaker 1: Why, yeah, what's going on here?
21:34
Speaker 2: And then you realize, oh, they're being racist on a
21:37
Speaker 2: different level or the backpackond guess they have to make
21:39
Speaker 2: money on a different level versus this is what I've
21:43
Speaker 2: always thought, and now it's making them money or making
21:45
Speaker 2: them like clickbait.
21:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean I don't know. Honestly, My main
21:54
Speaker 1: point of this is because I really don't know what
21:55
Speaker 1: to make of it, is that I I the first
21:58
Speaker 1: thing I thought was she's got some other deal going on, Yeah,
22:03
Speaker 1: something else and probably yeah.
22:06
Speaker 2: Kimp too. I feel that way about Kemp coming around
22:09
Speaker 2: and be like, you're too quiet. There's something happening or
22:13
Speaker 2: he's being very quiet, because this is kind of what
22:15
Speaker 2: he did when he first ran, when he was actually
22:18
Speaker 2: a part of the election board and didn't like renounce
22:22
Speaker 2: himself while he was running. I'm like, do you not
22:25
Speaker 2: see the conflict eventual? Oh you don't care? This kind
22:28
Speaker 2: of same level that he did a lot of things underhandedly,
22:31
Speaker 2: very quietly so no one would blast them, which is
22:33
Speaker 2: kind of what he does in general.
22:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know that weird it is, and
22:45
Speaker 1: I have to say, like again, out of Trump's administration
22:49
Speaker 1: because it's such a like circus show. There have been
22:53
Speaker 1: a lot of books that have, like I knew, I
22:56
Speaker 1: don't even know how many, but so many books, so
22:59
Speaker 1: many specials, so many things have come out of this,
23:04
Speaker 1: and it's an odd system to be like, I was
23:09
Speaker 1: backing Trump for this long, but here's my book, Takedown
23:12
Speaker 1: of Him. Please buy it, right, it's very bizarre system.
23:18
Speaker 2: Well, it's the same people who's like, well, it's making
23:22
Speaker 2: me money now to be under Trump and getting my
23:25
Speaker 2: name up there. Oh, this is a one step too far.
23:28
Speaker 2: I'm going to remove myself from there, wait a few
23:30
Speaker 2: years and then come back yep, and hope that they's
23:35
Speaker 2: accepted and that the anti Trumpers, which there's a lot
23:39
Speaker 2: that just hate Trump and so are willing to do
23:42
Speaker 2: that if it means giving him a bad name. But
23:45
Speaker 2: it's just like, no, you are not trustworthy, no, because
23:49
Speaker 2: there's nothing about like what, there's no flip here like
23:53
Speaker 2: he was always this bad.
23:55
Speaker 1: Yes, and it took you this long to notice it
23:58
Speaker 1: or either to care about it.
24:00
Speaker 2: No, it just affected you at this point.
24:02
Speaker 1: Exactly monetarily probably right.
24:05
Speaker 2: There's so many odd things. But like I will say,
24:08
Speaker 2: Kimp was oddly he's forced to be a trumper without
24:14
Speaker 2: actually ever being a trumper.
24:17
Speaker 1: Yeah mmmm that. I mean, everything is a mess right now.
24:23
Speaker 1: So this is not like news. But man, the Republican
24:27
Speaker 1: Party I buy. I'm like, how do you Either you
24:31
Speaker 1: have to be for him, or you're you're not or
24:35
Speaker 1: you're out, or you have to be silent and not
24:38
Speaker 1: say anything.
24:40
Speaker 2: The other great news the Momster Liberty lost every single
24:44
Speaker 2: one of the of the racist every single one. Can
24:49
Speaker 2: we talk about? That's joyous that the campaign of banning
24:55
Speaker 2: books and banning trans women and all of these things
24:59
Speaker 2: they lost. That's glorious to see because for a minute
25:02
Speaker 2: they were highly in power. So knowing that they lost
25:05
Speaker 2: every single one, that's a beautiful moment.
25:09
Speaker 1: That is nice.
25:10
Speaker 2: That's nice. I would end on that because it just
25:13
Speaker 2: feels good.
25:14
Speaker 1: It does feel good, it does.
25:16
Speaker 2: It just feels good. Let us know what's going on
25:19
Speaker 2: with in your area, because we love these victories that
25:22
Speaker 2: let us know what's going on that we should be
25:24
Speaker 2: watching because we also need to be very aware and
25:26
Speaker 2: I think the more we are able to bring to
25:28
Speaker 2: light the better we're able to have conversations and be
25:32
Speaker 2: aware of who the right way is, like going down
25:36
Speaker 2: the right path, because it's still confusing because also the
25:38
Speaker 2: other conspiracy theory in this well, I didn't know the mom,
25:42
Speaker 2: but the other conspiracy theory is that a lot of
25:44
Speaker 2: people may be flipping to becoming quote unquote democratic in
25:48
Speaker 2: order to pretend. We've seen a few times where they
25:51
Speaker 2: flip that.
25:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, that's true. Well, listeners, please let us
25:57
Speaker 1: know listeners from around the world also don't happening. There's
26:01
Speaker 1: a lot happening, and even though we have a lot
26:03
