00:00:00
former president Donald Trump returned to Butler Pennsylvania the site of his first assassination attempt for a rally
00:00:05
this weekend Trump was joined on stage by Elan musk who literally jumped in the air a moment captur and photo that
00:00:11
launched many memes I have to know what you thought of this display I saw some of your threads
00:00:16
um and I wrote on threads elon's tummy just beat out daauus in a tank um he said he was uh same thing with Howard
00:00:24
Dean it was so embarrassing it was so awkward he called himself dark Maga a lot of people are calling him dork magga
00:00:30
I can't imagine Trump being happy about any of this but uh what do what do you think of this also Trump by the way gave
00:00:36
a speech and I noted this on Chris walls this weekend his cognitive difficulties
00:00:39
are so apparent um and the New York Times finally wrote a big story about it uh this week uh I've been saying this
00:00:46
for a while the cognitive uh exchange it's worse I mean he he says crazy things all the time this is a whole new
00:00:51
level of cognitive failure on his part uh your thoughts on the Elon jump whatever it was well let's go in there's
00:00:59
a lot there let's go in reverse disorder with respect to his cognitive function or
00:01:03
dysfunction uh both of us said this early and often to the you know to the to the bother of many of our listeners
00:01:10
and that is Biden was just too [ __ ] old biology says hold my beer around what you think or what you're hoping is
00:01:15
going to happen if Trump is reelected he will be older than Biden was when he was
00:01:21
too old to run for president except Trump has supposedly a history of mental impairment or dementia his father had
00:01:29
dementia yeah he refuses to release the records of his cognitive tests and he's obese so folks I mean Biden was too old
00:01:41
this guy is way too old now as it relates to Trump uh and and musk or as I say uh
00:01:48
[ __ ] SpaceX he's literally look the the reality is for the campaign for their core
00:01:54
constituents it was probably a good move a lot of people really admire for a lot
00:02:00
of understandable reasons musk to me there's a it represents the two of them on stage and how much love and adulation
00:02:07
they get represents something deeper and darker and that is the aspirational vision of masculinity represented by
00:02:15
these guys has turned so coarse so vile being such you know between the two of them they have 17
00:02:22
kids by six different women MH with with musk you have a guy who when he gets to
00:02:30
a position of power accuses his workers of of sex crimes falsely such that they have to leave their home does not pay
00:02:36
contracted legally obligated Severance dead names says his daughter is dead to him dead to him and yet we have VCS
00:02:48
including those that come on our podcast and make all sorts of [ __ ] excuses for the guy and what I have found is
00:02:54
that generally speaking it represents this dark peanut butter and chocolate Z us in our
00:03:01
society where we have conflated masculinity with coarseness with cruelty and some [ __ ] up Vision that as long
00:03:09
as you're rich you can treat women like [ __ ] you can be a shitty dad a shitty employer I mean these these guys it was
00:03:19
literally like the Parade of poor role models for young men yep it really was it it's just so upsetting that and and
00:03:28
it reflects something that over the last 40 years people have gotten so sick of politicians grin
00:03:35
[ __ ] them never saying anything impolite never actually saying what might be going on trying to please
00:03:42
everyone lying to everybody being PG-13 at best they were just so ready for someone to come in and quite frankly
00:03:50
just be really coarse and these two are are literally the the Fred and ginger of
00:03:57
in my view what it means to be to not be a real man yeah I would agree I would it's interesting because I do think I I
00:04:05
agree there's a lot of people who really do Revere Elon Musk but boy did he look
00:04:09
dorky boy did he that was weird and I Trump's face I thought was interesting several times I don't think he liked it
00:04:17
much at all actually I think he was like what is he doing taking up all my [ __ ] oxygen it's like too like
00:04:24
desperate people desperate for attention sponges fighting with each other kind of
00:04:29
things with the jumping and the weirdness and you know who knows what he was on you know uh it just was I thought
00:04:36
it was embarrassing actually it was embarrassing it's like my first marriage our first home we had one vanity in the
00:04:41
bathroom it got ugly it just got ugly wait I need to look at me no I need to look at me he seemed uncomfortable in
00:04:49
several of the pictures it was it was like Elon needs the attention more and it's embar it's like a desperate like he
00:04:57
makes Trump look humble by comparison I have to say it was it was weird although Trump was mandering all over
00:05:04
the place but but just to Circle back I think it's good for Trump I I I just think there's this that they both Trump
00:05:11
and musk have this I know this Zealot like evang you know this cultist religious like
00:05:19
following and it's kind of the same it's a little bit of the same person it's kind of that I think there can be this
00:05:25
is Highlander to me there can be only one I think they're going to have such a falling out it's going to be delicious
00:05:29
to watch when it comes yeah be after the election yeah maybe we'll see we'll see
00:05:34
well we'll see who wins
