Amalgamation | Episode 288

All right, you guys, podcast time.

We got the equipment and the perfect business plan.

Give our show away for free and tell no one how to find it.

Ready?

I'm gonna start a podcast that has no focus and it'll take up an inordinate amount of time.

Hey, everybody, it's the boober bunker.

I'm John Domingo, and alongside me, that woman over there, that's the Duchess.

How you doing, Duchess?

I am well.

Happy Monday.

What a happy Martin Luther King Day.

Martin Luther King Day.

What a wonderful day it is.

And not only that, but we got to say goodbye to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

And we were.

You know something Samantha asked me, are you gonna watch the inaugur?

I went, nah, that shit's all boring.

Well, I was doing some stuff.

We elected, right?

I was doing stuff around the house, and I had put on to see what was going on with the inauguration because it.

And it started and.

Oh, my God, what a fucking.

Trump's a savage.

He is just a straight up fucking savage.

Say what you want about that, man, but to sit there for 30 minutes and berate the former administration.

Not one administration, but two administrations to their face, they.

They were sitting right, like, right next to him.

Yeah.

This could have leaned over and tapped him on the shoulder.

I'm talking about you.

Joe Biden could have jumped up and punched him in the head, which, to be honest with you, which would have been amazing.

He's so fuck and doesn't know what he's doing.

That.

I thought that was very, well, very much possible.

I was shocked.

We have some of the speech.

We'll go through some of the speech, but the Biden regime is over.

They are gone.

Yeah.

It's called having a backbone, a set of balls.

Listen, I got a set of balls and a backbone, but I'll tell you right now, I don't know if I could have went that hard in the paint with them right there without.

Without turning and looking at him.

But, you know, what are they gonna do, shoot him?

No, but what I'm saying is they tried.

What I'm saying is that, you know, I was waiting for them to just, like, turn around.

You know what I mean?

You know, it's just one of those.

Things, you know, I'm talking about you.

Right, right.

Joe, Sneaky Joe sitting over there, not paying attention.

Yeah, he's.

This Trump administration is hitting the ground running.

Not like 2016.

They knew what they were doing, and he's here for it.

Definitely wiser about how to handle certain things.

He didn't even get through his oath of office.

All right, where swearing in.

And the WhiteHouse.gov website went live with this.

So as soon as you go to whitehouse.gov, this is exactly what you see.

It's like a movie trailer.

Yeah.

Planes flying over.

Here he comes.

There's the Trump coin.

Every time.

Eagle.

Donald J.

Trump.

Pen the White House.

President, Donald J.

Trump.

Now, here's the thing.

It was actually pretty impressive.

If you're sitting here listening to this.

This is a podcast.

I understand it.

Thank you for doing that.

But every once in a while, you should come over on Mondays, Monday nights, 6:30, and Thursday nights, 6:30 Eastern Time, and hang out with us.

Or you can go back and watch it like on rumble and on YouTube.

And thanks.

Right.

Well, you know the thing with Twitch?

Twitch takes it down after, like, a week, but whatever.

Well, you can find it on all the other ones.

All the other ones.

Which means you should be liking our socials.

Yes, you can be updated.

Yes, you can be updated.

So he goes on a speech, and I was shocked.

So here's how it starts out, and I'll stop it.

And we can discuss.

But Savage, here's how it starts.

Not playing.

The whole thing just parts.

Yeah.

The golden age of America begins right now.

From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.

We will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer.

During every single day of the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first.

They're right there.

Our sovereignty will be reclaimed.

Our safety will be restored.

The scales of justice will be rebalanced.

The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department.

And our government will end.

And our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free.

That's right.

Clap.

When I stop talking, you start clapping.

Greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before.

I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success.

A tide of change is sweeping the country.

Sunlight is pouring over the entire world.

And America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before.

But first, we must be honest about the challenges we face.

While they are plentiful, they will be annihilated by this great momentum that the world is now witnessing.

In the United States of America.

As we gather today, our government confronts a crisis of trust.

For many years, a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens, while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly in Complete disrepair.

We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home, while at the same time stumbling into a continuing catalog of catastrophic events abroad.

Continuing to protect our magnificent law abiding American citizens, but provide sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals, many from prisons and mental institutions that have illegally entered our country from all over the world.

We have a government that has given unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders, but refuses to defend American borders or more importantly, its own people.

Our country can no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina, been treated so badly.

And other states who are still suffering from a hurricane that took place many months ago, or more recently, Los Angeles, where we are watching fires still tragically burn from weeks ago without even a token of defense.

They're raging through the houses and communities, even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in our country, some of whom are sitting here right now.

Now they don't have a home any longer.

That's interesting.

Biden's over there with his hand over his mouth.

This.

That was a lot.

That was a lot of audio.

But be honest with you, it was good.

He was hitting every point.

I mean, I understand that's in the first couple minutes.

I mean, and he went on for a half an hour now.

Last time he did a 17 minute confirmation speech or whatever it is.

This wasn't too long.

The one he did later was, was longer than the inaugural.

I haven't seen that one yet because I was busy getting ready for, for.

This was just kind of hip shooting.

That one he was getting on his like, you know, like how he, when he like leans on the podium and he's like.

Well, you know, and he starts like.

He'S, he's riffing, throwing it in there.

Yeah, he literally riffed it.

Yeah.

And he's doing.

Yeah, he's another one now.

He's at the capital now.

Yeah, he's at the Capitol center, the Capitol Arena.

I think this is where all the people could.

Went when they couldn't go line the streets or be out by the, the Mall or where, where they, when they were swearing in.

They couldn't have them there.

It's like watching the same podcast four times.

It is, it is.

It absolutely is not for nothing, Bob.

I'm pretty sure you knew what you're getting into when you clicked watch.

Yeah, well, I mean, just saying.

I mean, it was savage.

It.

It was a savage speech.

And then Kamala, she's sitting there looking.

Like a lemon, like just sour face.

Hey, Kate, what do you think about Melania's hat?

I love her hat.

I loved it.

She looked amazing.

I.

I saw some people were goofing on it a little bit, saying she looked like the Frito Bandito.

Carmen who?

The Frito Bandito.

Never mind.

I don't know.

It kind of look like what the big giant brim hat kind of looked.

Well, that she looked like Carmen Sandiego or the Spy versus Spy, like the hat.

But I still think she looked amazing, so I'm not.

Yeah.

Sparky says her.

She loved her hat.

Very classy.

She looked very classy.

I think if she was inside for that amount of time since.

Since she wasn't outside, I think maybe the hat comes off.

But I'm not.

I'm no fashion icon, so.

Mike says he thought it was Mary Poppins.

She looked fabulous.

I'm sorry.

It's really nice to see her.

I thought she looked really beautiful.

Yeah.

And then it was very noticeable that Barack Obama showed up stag.

Well, apparently Big Mike.

Haven't heard.

Big Mike and him are having issues.

Looks like they're splitting up, which.

Why now is it.

Well, did you see who the other woman is?

Jennifer Aniston.

Now, listen, if I was, you know, if I had my shot at Jennifer Addison over Big Mike.

Although I, you know, you figure Big Mike's got to be pissed, you know, all that tucking and all that stuff that she did.

I don't think she's.

Dude.

I think she's just a very strong, masculine.

Masculine kind of woman.

Yeah, there's some women that looks like that.

That look like that.

And it's, you know, okay, it's.

It's rough.

So I now know what was going on at Jimmy Carter's funeral.

I'm thinking when they were talking and giggling, Obama's sitting there and goes, guess what?

I'm banging Jennifer Aniston.

And Donald's like, you gotta be kidding me.

He says, no.

He says, well, I thought, what's going on with Big Mike?

Oh, Big Mike's pissed.

And so, I mean, that's what they were talking about.

They were talking about banging chicks.

That's why they were giggling and laughing probably.

He's like, you're shitting me.

Jennifer Aniston teaching Obama had to grab him by the.

Yeah, I.

I couldn't believe it either.

One thing led to another.

Next thing I know, dude, that deep in Jennifer Aniston couldn't believe it.

Oh, gross too, dad.

Deep.

Ew.

Who knows?

She liked presidential or presidential.

Probably.

She probably does.

I would Think just elevates her up the movie star celeb food chain.

The only thing I got to do now is get her to put a strap on, give me the business like Big Mike did.

Although Big Mike didn't have to strap anything on.

Just saying.

Either way, I'm sorry.

The marriage is.

It's sad to hear about the marriage falling apart.

It's terrible.

But.

But, you know, it's.

I couldn't imagine being that much the center of the public eye and having to live your life like that.

That's.

Once you're out there, it's.

You can't really hide it again.

So it's got to be rough.

All right.

I mean, it helps when you have millions and millions of dollars.

Millions and billions and millions of dollars.

More houses and, you know, one in Hawaii, you know, whatever.

So, all right, let's speculate.

Michelle.

We don't do that, do we?

We better.

The fuck we're here for.

So let's speculate what happens when Michelle and Brock separate.

All right.

They're going to be out on a dating scene.

All right.

I think I'm sure Barack will be able to pull some class A top notch gash.

So classy.

Okay, okay.

What about Michelle?

Apparently, you know, she's getting up there in age.

You know, she's got, there's, there's cracks in the sidewalk.

If you've seen her lately, she's aging.

Okay.

And then what do you think her next move is like?

Okay, I'm just gonna say this.

If she's a woman, she'll be able to pull some major top grade A.

She will man beat.

I think she will have no problem.

Finding a date if she's transgender, not so much.

So it'll be interesting to see how this works out in the dating area.

Just saying.

Okay.

Barack has already has his eye on Jeffrey Marsh.

Jeffrey Marsh is that.

I know who Jeffrey Marsh is, man.

Lady that's on TikTok.

Hi.

I want to talk to the children.

Yeah, I only talk to children.

Where's the children?

Creepy.

Ooh, the children.

He's a groomer.

I like the children.

Oh, my God.

What if Michelle Obama's dare you, Bruce.

Bruce says, what about Mike Rowe?

Scratch your eyes out.

I mean, I have to stand on a ladder to do it, but.

Come here, you.

She's tall.

Bend down here.

So?

Bend down here so I can punch you in the slot locker.

How dare you?

Bob says, I love a five o'clock shadow with a rose red.

Rose lipstick.

Yeah.

That's very specific.

Well, that's that Jeffrey Marsh?

Hey, you know, Trump's.

He's signing away.

I mean, he's already shut down the border.

They already closed down Eagle Pass.

They're putting more of those El Paso, too.

They're putting more of those buoys out in the Rio Grande so they can't come across.

They are also, they shut down the app.

You know the app you type in 12 o'clock.

Yep.

That thing went dead.

And it says all appointments are canceled.

He put remain in Mexico.

And I mean, they're ready to go.

And I'm sure.

Tom.

What did he do?

He saved it for you.

Well, we'll talk about TikTok in a minute or two.

I have another rant.

Shocking.

I know, I know, I know.

And then already, if I can get to this, this is a breaking story just happened.

It's.

It's really, really sad.

Where did it go?

Here, Here it is already.

Patrol Border Patrol agent shot and killed during a traffic stop in Vermont.

United States Border Patrol agent was.

Where's my.

There it is.

Sorry.

According to Homeland Security, shooting happened at 3:15pm local time.

The agent was shot and killed while performing a traffic stop in Vermont.

There are two suspects, one who's dead.

The FBI will be heading, leading the investigation.

So here we go already.

You know, this is a war.

I don't know what anybody's, you know, I'm not sure what.

They're coming in from the north, too.

That's the problem.

They're coming in from the north, they're.

Coming in from the south, from Canada.

And we'll see what happens.

But, you know, but I mean, let's.

See what Tom Holman does.

Yeah, he's gonna have.

When you have a war, you know, we're gonna lose.

You're gonna lose some people on end and, and it's a sin and it's a shame, but this is what's going to happen because now they know that they're coming for him and they're going to get deported or whatever.

Now it's.

They have a reason to fight, right?

They have a reason to fight.

So there we go.

Well, that's that.

I'm just saying I love the way that he's.

He's get, you know, we're going to get the confirmation for the people in his cabinet.

Can't wait.

When does that happen?

And are they getting confirmed, all of them?

We don't know.

I mean, they haven't really talked to Robert F.

Robert F.

Kennedy yet.

Then they have to vote on them.

I think they all get through.

The two that I'm worried about are Cash Patel and Robert Kennedy.

They're the ones I really worry about.

I feel like Robert Kennedy's the throwaway, but I don't know, he's stuck with them.

So that would be a shame because I want Robert Kennedy in that position.

I think he's a smart man.

It's unfortunate that because of his speech, it's difficult to listen.

I find him very difficult to listen to, but I think some of the things he says are pretty intelligent.

So I, I, if I can get past listening to him, which again, sounds awful, but interesting.

Who, Kennedy?

Okay.

Yeah.

He's got a, he's got a rough voice.

It's tough.

Yeah, it sounds painful.

Yeah.

Also, migrants weep in Mexico as Trump cancels all appointments on the app.

Yeah, listen, like 12, 1205, like, done.

I mean, you had four years to get here.

If you waited until now, shame on you.

You should have been here a long time ago.

But there they are with the app.

Looked like what I happened when I signed on to TikTok.

There was a thing that said, no pass.

No can pass.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

John cried just as hard as these migrants.

Oh, no.

I don't tiki talk.

Spend two hours complaining.

I did.

I know.

And it was the worst 12 hours of my, my life.

Sparky is also right.

So now they have to apply to get in legally.

Yes.

And what was Biden doing for the past 24 hours?

Well, what was Biden?

He was sleeping and shit in his pants.

What was the sign in some stuff.

What was.

Yeah, they must have had a rubber stamp because he doesn't know what he's doing.

He has no idea what he's signing.

He's not signing anything.

He has no idea what he signs.

He's not.

So he pardoned everyone?

Everyone.

Everyone.

He pardoned the J6 committee.

He pardoned his family.

Over 8,000 people.

He pardoned Fauci.

Now, I'm a dumb guy, but I thought you had to be convicted of a crime to be pardoned.

Nope, we're just going to pardon.

And is this so to me, I don't know if this is even legal.

How can you just pardon people willy nilly and say, oh, you know what?

Whatever they did, you can't charge them for it.

That's bullshit, General Milley.

Right.

So you're like Adam Schiff.

Oh, yeah, well, Adam Schiff is part of the J6.

Well, that's what I mean.

Like, so all of these folks.

So they're like, well, all of them.

It's more of a just in case you want to come after them, they're already pardoned for something that they said they didn't do.

But we're gonna give them a pardon anyway, right?

It's fucking sneaky.

So then, bullshit.

Mike Johnson was being interviewed about seeing President Biden, and he was like, listen, that guy doesn't even know what he's signing.

And he tells this story.

And to me, this is really shocking.

I do stand Biden, and I say this without animus at all.

I mean, you know, in some ways, I actually kind of feel sorry for Joe Biden.

I mean, he's in the twilight years of his life.

He is not, obviously has not been in charge for some time.

And I know this by personal observation.

And now the whole world knows it.

And it's been very, very concerning to me over the last year and a half since I've had this.

Can you tell us a story?

When you say personal observation?

Well, I mean, it's public now because the Wall Street Journal got it and put it on the front page, but I miss it all.

I mean, so here's my problem.

If you knew this, the story you're about to tell and you didn't say anything, you're complicit.

You're complicit in the lie.

You're complicit in this.

You should have been saying, this guy doesn't even know what's going on.

And you know, so why hold back?

And now you're going to tell it.

The Wall Street Journal got a hold of it.

Now it's out there, so now I can talk about it.

You should have been talking about it when you found out.

Like, you should have walked out of there and said, jesus Christ, we got to talk in Congress about this.

I just had a.

A meeting with Joe Biden, and you ain't going to believe what happened, so I'll let him.

He probably did say that.

He didn't go to the press and say that.

He probably discussed it amongst all the inner circle.

All right, so it's not like.

It's not like nobody knew until he went on this press show.

Okay?

I'm pretty sure he discussed it with the people he needed to discuss it with, including Trump.

So let's find out.

He doesn't have to tell us the story.

All right, so we're foreshadowing or whatever here.

Let's find out what he did.

Year and a half since I've had this.

Can you tell us a story?

When you say Personal observation.

Well, I mean, it's public now because the Wall Street Journal got it and put it on the front page.

But January, a year ago, almost exactly a year ago, I had been asked.

I became speaker in October 2023, and there were all sorts of big national security concerns and everything going on.

And I started requesting a meeting with the.

Because, you know, I'm kind of old school.

I'm a constitutional law guy.

Speaker of the House should be able to talk to the President, especially in times of great national interest and calamity.

But they wouldn't let me meet with him.

And his staff kept putting.

Giving me excuses.

This went on for like eight or nine weeks.

I'm sorry, Mr.

Speaker, he doesn't have time.

What are you talking about?

I'm second in line of the presidency.

He has time.

I need to talk to him.

We had.

I can't say the classified parts, but we had some big, big national concerns at the time that I was losing sleep over.

Finally, I just went to the Hill press corps and said, the President is not being allowed to meet with the Speaker.

There's a problem.

So they started putting pressure on him.

Long story short, they finally relented.

They invited me to the White House.

I show up and I realize it's actually an ambush because it's not just me and the President.

It's also Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem, you know, the whole.

The CIA director, everybody.

And then.

So I walked in the Oval and, ah, I know what this is.

This is a.

They're going to hot box the speaker on Ukraine funding.

That's what it was.

This is probably the third week of January.

We sit down, we're in the midst of it and the whole conversation, and I'm going, we don't need to have this conversation.

The President reaches over just like this.

We're sitting right next to the fireplace in the Oval, and he grabs my arm and he says, the speaker and I just need a couple minutes together.

Will y'all just leave us alone?

And I looked up on the faces of some of the staff standing around the wall, and they're like, no, he did it.

So they.

He called it.

He's the Commander in Chief.

So everybody leaves, and he and I are standing awkwardly in the middle of the Oval Office, right over the rug by that coffee table.

And I said, Mr.

President, thanks for the moments.

You know, this is very important.

I got some big national security things I need to talk to you about that I've heard and I think, you know, and what do we do?

And.

But first, real quickly, Mr.

President, can I ask you a question?

I cannot answer this from my constituents in Louisiana, sir, why did you pause LNG exports to Europe?

Like, I don't understand.

You know, liquefied natural gas is in great demand by our allies.

Why would you do that?

Because you understand, we just talked about Ukraine.

You understand you're fueling Vladimir Putin's war machine because they got to get their gas from him.

You know, and he looks at me stunned with this, and he said, I didn't do that.

And I said, Mr.

President, yes, you did.

It was an executive order, like, you know, three weeks ago.

He goes, no, I didn't do that.

And he's arguing with me.

I said, Mr.

President, respectfully, can I.

Could I go out here and ask your secretary to print it out?

We'll read it together.

You definitely did that.

And he goes, oh, you talk about natural gas?

Yes, sir.

He said, no, no, you misunderstand.

He said, what I did is I signed this thing to.

We're going to conduct a study on the effects of lng.

I said, no, you're not, sir.

You paused it.

I know.

I have the terminal, the export terminals in my state.

I talked to those people this morning.

This is doing massive damage to our economy, national security.

It occurred to me, Barry, he was not lying to me.

He genuinely did not know what he had signed.

And I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought, we're in serious trouble.

Who is running the country?

Like, I don't know who put the paper in front of him, but he didn't know.

He didn't know.

He didn't know, and he hasn't known in years.

And that's why you can't meet with him privately.

Yeah.

That's why you have Hakeem and Schumer and Kamala.

They're all there to talk for him.

And he just nods and does the.

The Biden thing, right?

He has no clue.

And when he asked them to leave, that's when the shit hit the fan, right?

Because if you go in there and you start talking to him about stuff, it's.

You get this.

He's like, whoa, what the.

You know, he has no idea what's going on.

I have such mixed feelings about this, because he's clearly not there.

He's clearly not there.

And any senior that.

Any person that you see that acts like that, your heart breaks for them because there's.

There's.

There's something wrong.

And.

And the fact that he Was in charge for four years.

Look what he's done.

He wasn't in charge for four years.

On paper.

On paper.

He was the head on paper.

Yeah, well, of course, everybody knows that.

So it's.

It's scary.

And to think of all that needs to be redone and undone and re.

Re.

Like, so.

So, so much has to be unwoven to make things better or correct.

It's just.

So he signs these pardons.

He signed a pardon for his brother and a bunch of his family who haven't done anything.

Haven't done anything covered.

Extort money from China and China and Russia.

Wonder how much money he got for his library now.

Okay, so now, when Trump was leaving office, Trump was supposed to pardon a bunch of people unilateral.

Unilaterally.

I can say that.

I can't, you know, pretty good.

Unilaterally.

Unilaterally.

Unilaterally.

Uni.

Sorry.

Anyway, at the same time.

So he.

They asked him about it, you know, should he be able to do that?

And this was his answer.

President Trump is reportedly considering a wave of preemptive pardons.

Does this concern you, all these preemptive pardons?

Well, it's.

It concerns me in terms of it, what kind of precedent it sets and how the rest of the world looks at us as a nation of laws and injustice.

You're not going to see in our administration that kind of approach to pardons, nor are you going to see in our administration the approach to making policy by tweets.

You know, it's just going to be.

A totally different way in which we approach the justice system.

Liar.

Unbelievable.

I know.

He doesn't even sound like this.

It's a whole nother man like his went to mush.

It was already heading there because everybody's like, oh, he's got the little silly whoopsie isms.

And now he's.

I mean, you can see the difference in four years.

It's amazing how terribly he's progressed.

It's sad.

It's really sad.

I'm sad for our country.

I'm sad for him as a human.

Right.

But I'm really sad for our country because that's what's been presented.

And.

And the whole world knows it.

Yeah, the whole world knows it.

And that's what I love about the Internet, because as soon as somebody says something, boy, they're right on it.

And, you know, not only did Biden say this, but what about Adam Schiff, who's also covered under these pardons?

He was talking to Michael Clark Duncan, back when Michael Clark Duncan actually had hair, and this was his take on it.

Have you ever heard of somebody getting a preemptive pardon who was innocent of all crime, who's just an innocent person?

Have you ever heard of that?

Just somebody getting a blanket pardon and.

They'Re an innocent person.

But no, it's the President's own family.

It's people that have been covering up for the President in addition to his own family.

Is there an innocent explanation for someone to seek preemptive pardons for family members?

Would you do that if you knew you were innocent and just worried about outside forces?

The answer to that is going to be no.

If you haven't done anything wrong, you.

Sit there and go, what do you.

Need a preemptive pardon for?

If he pardons people preemptively, he's essentially telling the public that these people have.

Committed crimes and we may not be.

Aware of what they are, but the pardon is clear evidence that crimes have been committed.

I imagine if he decides to issue these preemptive pardons, it will be cast.

In a way that he is protecting his family and protecting their reputations from villainous exterior forces that are against him.

First off, we should just take a deep breath and a acknowledge the audacity of a President who's so clearly concerned about his own criminal culpability and that of his family members that pardons are a major obsession with him.

The idea of a kind of prospective pardon, this sort of permanent federal get out of jail free card, that.

That seems to be what we're talking about in the case of this right, with Giuliani and his three eldest children, who, as far as we know, don't have not been convicted of a crime.

Maybe they've committed a lot and they don't want to face action.

I don't know.

It's weird.

I wouldn't ask for a pardon.

I don't think I deserve one because I don't think I've done anything criminal.

But, like, where does that come from, that concept?

You can just kind of wave your magic pardon.

Juan, we have Tish James, we have Xavier Percera.

Mimi Rocca is literally my DA in my town.

There will be opportunities to prosecute these people, regardless if they, if they abuse the pardon power as they are thinking, hopefully, Ellie, there will be a skyfall on this entire crime family and there will be another day for them to die.

Wow.

Does crime family pardon, let's say, Rudy Giuliani or any members of his family?

Would you see that?

And I asked Peter this Question as essentially an admission of guilt.

I certainly would view it that way.

I think millions of Americans would view it that way.

If there was no belief in criminality.

Why?

Why would he think a pardon was necessary?

CNN has learned President Biden.

Fucking scumbag.

God damn it.

Such a scumbag.

Well, what cracks me up.

Balls.

Is that they sat there and said that about Trump, and then Biden goes and does this.

Now, I haven't had a chance to watch, but I can't believe that they will sit there and say, oh, by the way, you know, this is fine.

But I did see one.

I got one person that's going to explain why it's okay for Biden to do this, even though they've said that this was horrible when Trump did.

And we go to, ladies and gentlemen, the bitter fruit, Don Lemon.

Oh, God.

Here's the breaking news for you.

Remember, people were upset that Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden.

Well, Joe Biden, President Biden, pardons his family on last day, date in office.

Why is he doing that?

Is it because they're guilty of something?

And what's wrong with your eyes?

One's going straight, the other one's going off to the right.

What the fuck's going on there?

Don't.

Can't afford glasses anymore.

He's got jobs, precedent.

Yeah, it is unusual, but it's also because of the unprecedented, unusual administration that.

We have coming in.

And he cannot trust his family in the hands of Donald Trump's Justice Department.

The balls.

You cannot trust his family with the Donald Trump's.

The balls.

The balls on these motherfuckers.

Don's little lemons, man.

Unbelievable.

I mean, to sit there and watch what happened to Trump through this whole fucking thing, right?

They not only they tried, they raided his house, they tried him for all kinds of bullshit crimes.

They convicted him on one of the worst Frankenstein kind of charge that you could see and then rushed him in to sentence him for no time so they can say that he's a convicted felon.

This is going to be overturned on appeal.

All right?

They had to drop the charges in Atlanta because Fannie, whatever her name is, Willis, was banging her, banging the person she put in charge of this.

I mean, all this is falling apart.

And the fact that here we are, Don Lemon is sitting there and he's trying to explain this.

Don, you are so over.

No one listens to you.

No one cares about you.

But you're the black Keith Oberman.

That's who you are.

You're the black Keith Oberman.

You scream and yell and nobody listens to you.

Cuz you're a fucking idiot.

What do you think about it?

Let me know in the chat.

I just told you.

I just told you what I thought about it.

Can I make a left turn?

I just got freaky news.

Rubio was unanimously confirmed as Secretary of State.

Wow.

Already?

And.

And all government employees in D.C.

ordered back to work.

Okay.

To work.

Not from home.

Okay.

Work.

I don't.

I'll be honest with you.

I.

I don't see a problem.

Here's the thing.

I don't see a problem with people working from home as long as you can work from home.

What about you?

How do you feel about this?

I work from home.

I do tend to walk away from my desk a little more to do other things, but I also tend to work longer because I know I'm walking away from my desk.

So if I'm like, all right, I'm gonna throw a load of laundry in, but then I come back and work like an extra bit.

So.

But it's convenient because a lot of the stuff I do is on the computer or phone calls or emails.

So it's not.

Here's how.

This is what I feel.

This is how I feel about working from home.

Let's say you got to go into the office and you have to be there at 8:00.

You have to be up at 6:00 in the morning, you have to leave your house at 7.

You have to make sure you get that, you know, get there early and.

And all that, you can save all that time.

In the same way, with the commute home, it's less gas, it's less expense for the families that are there.

That's if you can do your job from home.

Right?

And there's ways to make sure that you are doing your job.

In other words, if you have tasks that get done, and these tasks are getting done, where does it matter where you work?

To be honest with you, now it's different.

I mean, I know they have.

Not every job can be that way.

But, you know, one of the things that Covid proved was that you can do a lot of this shit from home.

Zoom meetings, you know, it had a.

It had an impact on.

On real estate because people weren't coming into the office, so people weren't utilizing utilities, they weren't using the space they're paying for.

You know, these office buildings that nobody's going to.

So it.

The ripple effect from all that had a big impact in the cities.

People aren't coming in.

So businesses were able to sell their space or, or not renew their leases, sell off all their equipment.

Right.

So there's, there's good and bad to remote.

Mike has a good thing about working from home.

Oops.

There you go.

The best thing about working from home is getting a hummer during staff meetings.

Yeah.

And what was that guy's name that was jacking off?

That used to be Tubin, Tim Sanin.

Tubin, right.

Yeah.

Jeffrey Toobin.

Jeffrey Toobin was whacking off during the meeting.

You can't do that in a meeting at the office.

You just can't take out a bottle of baby oil, pull your pants down and start stroking your member.

I mean if you do, that's a strong, strong move.

Yeah.

Says more Jason their employees back to come to the office as it is a move for control some I believe that I understand.

Okay.

But as I as seeing something again, if you're going to talk about the department of you know, government efficiency and I know that Elon Musk is a big person for bringing people back to work.

That's what he did with Twitter.

I think that there is a way to work it out where people can work from home again, I believe.

I think there's some positions you can offer that flexibility or just even a couple days a week work from home.

I think it's helpful for people who have families.

And not every job has to be during business hours.

A lot of things could be done after hours.

Like for example, our CFO for where I work, she.

Well now with COVID she's mainly worked from home but she would always come into the office after 4:00 because she never dealt with people.

She didn't have to deal with people walking in or anything like that.

Everything she did was strictly internal and financial.

So there was no.

She only had to deal with us through emails and things.

So she worked from home.

As soon as Covid hit, she's never left her house.

Right.

You know, so I mean again she works, you know, she starts work at 9, 10 o'clock at night and works overnights.

She doesn't care.

Right.

You're bringing people, you're bringing cars into the city, you're putting people in the subways, you know, to have to go to work.

Yeah, you're taking.

It's a serious impact on economy.

Your eight hour day is now a 12 hour day.

You know, keep in mind the so explains all the problem.

Like you think the subways are congested and things like that.

But if there's Less people going to the offices, but less people think about the economic impact of just eating.

Like people going out, they go to work, they go to lunch.

All the restaurants, all the carts, all the.

So if they're not in the office.

And that's not the office's concern, you know, I understand that.

But like just the ripple effect from all of that.

People shopping after work or bringing their dry cleaning in or whatever.

All those things that kind of.

You lumped into going to the office.

Now you never leave your house.

Now you don't have to do dry cleaning because you don't have to dress up.

You know, it's all that kind of stuff.

So it's all the little things that really, I think had a big impact.

I understand about the restaurants and the roach coaches.

Like in Philadelphia.

Yeah.

You know, there was nothing better than a dirty water dog.

Dirt water dog.

A dirty water dog with a little mustard and sauerkraut and onions.

That was my go to.

And then you could get a cup of coffee there.

And then some of them.

Depends on the size of them.

You could get like an egg sandwich or something in the morning.

So I get that.

And trust me, I've eaten off of more than one roach coach in my day.

John and I used to talk to a guy on Discord who was selling medical supplies while in VC with us.

I don't know who that is.

I know it's that soft weekly.

Yeah.

But I don't know who the guy is that was selling medical supplies.

YNVC with us again there.

If, say the guy is driving from place to place and he's in Discord talking to you, what's the difference as long as he's getting his job done?

That's.

Yeah.

Again, some industries you have to be in the office.

Other industries, you could do it from home.

Right?

There's certainly.

Yeah, there's certain industries that you have to be there if you're going to be, you know, you're forward facing the public.

Like, you know, auto repair or anything like that.

But what I do.

Yeah.

You know, when I'm talking about like administrative office support.

It really doesn't have to be done in the office just to justify the rent.

And again.

Oh, well, it's going to make the commercial real estate market crash.

Well, you know what I'm sure they can do.

Look, when in Philadelphia, when I was working in the elevator business, there was a lot this shit was going on back then.

Like they.

Everybody.

Okay.

In like the early 80s, you had five supervisors.

And with five supervisors, you had an admin and then they invented the laptop.

And so then guess what, you didn't get an admin anymore.

You answered your own email, you wrote up your own memos, you sent your own faxes.

And so they got rid of that person.

And then the office personnel started to decrease just in that.

All right, so a lot of the office buildings started to go empty out.

People didn't need them anymore.

So what they started doing was they would rip the whole interior out and they made condos and apartment buildings out of them.

So maybe that's what they got to do with cities.

You know, if you want to live in the city, that's a different story.

Make it easier and cheaper to live in a city then that might work, but there's always a workaround.

It look again, the people that are that run the commercial real estate business, they're going to see an opportunity there and they're going to take that opportunity and they're going to make money at it.

That's, that's what happens.

So I see, I see a lot of buildings that have become like mixed use, like retail on the bottom and then like two or three floors of condos or apartments or things like that, you know, like, was it like the 15, the five minutes, what do they call them?

The 15 minutes?

Yeah, it's so.

It's like a mullet.

It's what's a business in the front, party on the bottom, party in the back.

Yeah, it's like business on top party or the other way around.

But in other words, how cool would it be if you had an office building and then on top of you had four or five floors of apartment buildings where you could live in the apartment building above and then work and then just take an elevator to work.

That would be fantastic.

How fantastic would that be?

So interesting.

Some more remarks from the comments.

Jason says in his industry for his day job, he's the only one in his team in Minnesota.

All his work is done via team meetings.

They want us in the office for collaboration, but with who?

The fucking wall?

Right.

So again there's.

Luckily I don't have to go in.

So yeah, like Bob, Bob can't work from home because he, he paints and fixes things.

Like he paints.

That's not his gig.

Yeah, right.

He has to go in.

He's a gigs use.

Condos in Detroit are outrageously priced, I bet.

Well, yeah, I'm sure they are.

But then again you got supply and demand.

If they're so high and nobody can afford them, the Price will come down.

The price will come down and then the other reason why the price is so high is because the taxes in the, in the city are so high and, and you know, so if you reduce every.

Everything's got to kind of contract a little bit.

It can be done if you have, if you have a can do attitude.

I'm just saying you're going to see right now these things, these fires in, in California, the Palisades, you know Blackrock's out there right now offering these guys pennies on a dollar for their house because they have no way of rebuilding.

They have no insurance because insurance it's.

Going to tied up for months, months and months.

And where do you live?

You need the money now.

Yeah.

So they'll go in and undercut them.

They'll give them half of what it's valued but they'll get walk away money.

And they'll be done and they'll build these 15 minute cities here that I swear that's what happened there.

The drop condos and insta homes on them.

Those gross contractor builds.

Right.

Are fine if that's what you you want.

I think some of them are a little awful because they all look the same.

Just different colors, same house, just.

Yeah, flip flopped.

If I could put the tin foil on my maga hat right here I.

Would say it's not on there.

Shocking.

It's on the inside.

Oh, tin foil on inside.

I've had so who'd have thunk?

Yeah, you have.

Hey look, 100 mile an hour winds are coming.

Boy, if we start a fire right here and the winds are coming this way by God, look at all the property that would take down.

Makes you wonder with all the homeless people setting fires.

Right.

Just saying are they homeless or just look homeless.

Who knows?

I don't know.

I'm sure it wasn't anything like that.

I'm sure it was just a lightning.

Strike or a coink, a dink, A.

Coink a dinky that there's no lightning because there was no rain.

There's no rain.

So it wasn't lightning that started it.

What started it?

And again the very own restaurants are.

Just burst into flames for no reason.

Yeah, yeah.

Oops.

Oops.

Always in the middle of the night.

It happens.

Yeah but the first fire that started out there in California it was out on a trail.

There's cameras everywhere.

So they saw the smoke starting to come up.

They zoom in, they see two guys, one guy with a white hoodie, one guy with a black hoodie and then later on they.

They see someone taking a video of a guy, two guys walking, one with a black hoodie, one with a white hoodie, says, oh, we were just there.

I can't believe that we were just there.

Can you put that other up there?

I didn't get a chance to read that.

So this is.

Warren Buffett is buying all the residential property like crazy all over the country, and they're going to own all the land.

Bob says, which I addressed in a previous.

We chatted domestic terrorism, domestic climate change.

Oh, yeah.

And Jody says, jewish lightning.

Yeah.

Oh, everybody hates the Jews.

Now, where was I?

It was on Twitter and I was talking about something.

I forget what it was.

I think it might have been the TikTok ban.

And they go, oh, we have to ban TikTok because the Jews, the Jews.

The Jews don't want people on TikTok because they're talking about how.

How bad Israel is with their treatment of Gaza.

And I'm like, look, I'm sorry.

And he goes, and if you don't believe that, I'm like, well, okay, you're crazy.

I said, well, I'm crazy because I don't believe the Jews did this, number one.

And number two, I don't believe.

You know, I'm not going to sit there and berate the Jews or the blacks or the Asians or the rednecks or even the Democrats.

I'm not going to go sit there and blanketly blame everybody for this.

It's ridiculous.

All right, is it time to get Muslims the moose lambs?

Maybe the moose lambs.

All right, if there's anybody that's going to be just going to give us trouble, it's going to be the.

We can blame them.

Everybody hates them right now.

Well, I'm just saying.

So.

All right, can we get into my TikTok rant right now, please?

Just get it over with.

All right.

Duchess doesn't like talking about.

And listen, I was listening to a lot of different podcasts.

Tim Pool went on a rant today about TikTok.

He sounds like an idiot when he talks about it because he's sitting there and he says, well, you know, this is a China's Chinese app, and.

And all this information goes back to China.

Well, if it goes back to China, why did they shut it off with Oracle, which is out of Texas, that the servers are on American.

They probably pay for them.

But they're in here.

They're in America.

It's not like it's going back to China.

All right, so.

All right, let's Put a pin in that right there.

Okay?

I'm a grown ass man.

If I want to use a China app that takes my information and sends it back to China, and I know that it's sending back to China, who the fuck are you to tell me.

I can take my information?

Please.

Yeah, what?

You don't think Facebook takes your information?

You don't think Instagram takes your information?

You'll think the government takes your information.

You have a smartphone.

They all do.

I know they all do.

So what are we talking?

I record your ticky talks on your smartphone.

Right.

So then they say, oh, well, it's Chinese propaganda.

It is.

Well, I don't know.

They're not getting a piece of it.

I don't see any.

Listen, I use TikTok.

I use it a lot.

I don't see any Chinese propaganda on there.

They go, well, you know what it does?

It secretly.

It gets the kids and it indoctrinates the kids.

And I'm like, Like school, like school does.

If you're Gonna shut down TikTok for indoctrination of the chip reinforces it.

I mean, do you think it doesn't.

Well, they gotta shut down the fucking colleges too, because nobody does it more than the fucking colleges.

I just.

Okay, they're not gonna shut down schools.

But the point is, is do you think that TikTok perhaps can indoctrinate?

It could.

But if that's the case, then shut down the colleges.

If you're not doing it.

Yeah, if you're not going to shut down the colleges, then don't give me your bullshit about, oh, it's the app.

Because we make more money on the colleges than we do on TikTok.

Well, maybe, I don't know.

But here's the thing.

Here's the other thing about TikTok.

Guess what?

TikTok is not publicly traded.

So there's some people that own TikTok.

And you know what they're making?

Banks.

You should say that.

What a sparky thing.

Every politician has stock in Facebook.

Yes.

TikTok is Facebook's competition.

Yes.

If TikTok goes away, Facebook stock goes up.

I don't know, because I don't think so.

Because again, Facebook's for the old.

Facebook isn't giving you anything.

Here's the problem.

Americans can't figure out how to make TikTok.

That's the problem.

Because there's no reason why American company can't go out and make a TikTok.

Oh, why couldn't that make you mean.

To recreate the company like TikTok, just like TikTok.

I thought you said they didn't know how to make TikToks.

I'm like, well, they.

Of course they know how to make tiktoks.

Anybody knows how to make a TikTok.

So what I'm saying is that why don't American company make a.

Make a.

Make.

Make a.

Make something that's like TikTok or better than TikTok.

You can make something better.

You can.

All right, so now what you want to do is you want to shut it down and all your.

All your excuses are suspect at best.

The whole thing about they're taking our information.

Fuck you.

Everybody takes our information.

The whole thing.

Well, TikTok soft.

Bring back vine soft rip vine.

Well, okay, here we go.

That was Vine.

Vine was a six second thing and then TikTok was a.

A minute or 30 seconds.

Then it was a minute, now it's up to 10.

All right, and then the other thing is TikTok.

Whatever you want, TikTok gives you.

We've been through this before.

You want big bouncing breasted women dancing, you can get that.

You want trans women talking about the transition, you can get that.

You want to talk about cooking, Crock pot cooking, you can get that.

Whatever you are interested in, that's what it'll feed you.

So again, here's an app that is giving the customer what they want.

What's the problem?

What is the fucking problem?

Nobody can explain to me how dangerous this app is except it's eaten Facebook and Instagram and YouTube and.

Oh, and YouTube.

Let's talk about YouTube.

Concerns about the safety factor of what?

What, their kids on it like 10 year olds.

Again, I'm not the kid's parent, all right?

Parent your kids.

I don't need the government to parent.

I don't need the government to parent the children.

Well, the government isn't all right, okay?

I grew up in the 70s and 80s.

We didn't have a cell phone.

We didn't have a fucking answer machine.

You know what we did?

Our parents threw us outside and we weren't allowed in the house until it got dark and it was dinner time.

They didn't know where the fuck we were.

Parents have never been parenting.

From the beginning of time, we could have been out doing whatever.

We could have been in the woods starting fires.

We did.

We could have been throwing rocks at cars.

We did.

We could have been siphoning gas out of cars.

We did.

We could have been all kinds of mischief.

We did.

We could have been taking.

Making ramps with bicycles and.

And jumping them and.

And hurting ourselves.

We did.

We were feral.

Nobody paid attention to what we were doing.

So now there's the Internet.

Kids aren't outside.

They don't play with each other, so they're.

They're on the Internet.

What'd your girls do growing up?

Did you throw them out of the house and tell them not to go back until it was started?

No.

No, they did exactly what you're.

What I'm talking about.

They grew up watching TV and on AIM and.

And.

And.

And social media.

Right?

We did.

Because you know what?

Parents are working and they're doing things and they.

And they're not.

They're not parenting their children.

They.

The government.

Some are.

Some parents are govern.

You know, parenting their children.

That's a parent's job.

All right?

They go to college.

They spend all this money to.

To go to college, and they get, you know, activated to be a Democratic activist, and that's.

Okay.

So Soft says, so Jamingo thinks we should sell kids beer.

See, you're a dick.

All right, I'm going to tell you why you're a dick.

There's laws that says you can't sell kids beer.

There's not a law that says camp kids can't be on the Internet.

This is.

See, that's why you're stupid.

All right?

That's why you're have it.

Does Tick Tock have a restriction?

No.

You have to be whatever age you are.

13.

13.

13.

Okay.

So above 13.

So there's plenty above 13 on.

Okay, don't give me that shit.

First of all, you go to Pornhub, and Pornhub says, are you 18?

And you go, yep.

And then they let you right in.

Do you have to be 18?

Nope.

Do you have to prove you're 18?

Nope.

What states is Pornhub now not allowed in?

Beats me.

But it's.

You still get it in Jersey.

Oh, ew.

I'm just telling you.

Well, I heard in Florida and there's a few other states.

I think Arkansas had a.

I think Jody's state, too.

Yeah, I think Arkansas was an issue or whatever.

I don't know.

But again, there's laws.

Well, I guess a kid could drive a car then because it can go on the Internet.

He can get behind the wheel of a car and just drive a car at neh.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Okay, you're being extreme.

Am I?

A little bit.

Well, throwing out the cars and all that.

Well, that's what soft says.

Soft says.

So you're selfish and you want TikTok.

Okay, well, now it's back.

Yeah.

You know what?

I don't need the fucking government to tell me what I can do with my time or what fucking apps I can use.

Okay?

I don't need them to do.

You don't have to.

I'm a grown ass man.

I don't need them to tell me what to do.

Stay the fuck out of it.

How about you do this?

How about you do your job and make it where we can have fucking plastic bags to put groceries in?

I couldn't have a little one?

This is what I have now.

This fucking thing.

Look at the size of it.

That's.

That's what our governor did.

Oh, we're gonna work with the Trump administration on our values, but God, fucking Trump wants to give somebody a plastic bag or a plastic straw, we're gonna fight up to the death.

Yeah.

It's as ridiculous as this fucking TikTok ban.

I'll tell you another thing, Tim Pool from.

He's all.

He's against it.

You know why?

Because.

Because TikTok thrown him through his.

Throw him off of TikTok for having.

He's got no fight in the game.

Yeah.

So you people that don't like TikTok, you're like, ah, fuck it, who gives a shit?

I'll tell you what, if you wanted an app that I didn't really care about, okay, here's LinkedIn.

Never use LinkedIn.

Don't like LinkedIn.

Hate LinkedIn.

If they took it away from you, I would be on your side and fighting with you so you could get it back.

Why?

Because I live in America and I'm American, that's why.

Not just sit there, let the government.

Run all over you.

Inalienable right is to have LinkedIn.

Why can't you?

Why can't you?

Here's it.

If you want to tell me how it's dangerous, fine, but it's not.

The people that tell me it's dangerous, don't even fucking use it.

Don't tell me how it's dangerous.

I use it all the time.

Oh, it's not dangerous to you, but maybe it's dangerous to somebody else.

I don't give a shit about them.

Again, if just me.

Look, if there is content on there that's.

That's not suitable for children, take it off, all right?

There's plenty of things on there.

It's like YouTube.

YouTube.

You can't go in there and say that the.

Oops.

We're on YouTube.

Well, you can't say that thing that they put in your arm, that was supposed to cure a certain thing.

You couldn't say anything about that.

I bet Duchess doesn't have a plastic bag right next to her.

I have a reusable bag right next to me back here.

Right.

We had to pay for this, right?

This was.

Got handles and all this other shit.

Now.

Now we got to go to this other thing.
