00:00:00
former president Donald Trump returned
00:00:01
to Butler Pennsylvania the site of his
00:00:03
first assassination attempt for a rally
00:00:05
this weekend Trump was joined on stage
00:00:07
by Elan musk who literally jumped in the
00:00:09
air a moment captur and photo that
00:00:11
launched many
00:00:12
memes I have to know what you thought of
00:00:14
this display I saw some of your threads
00:00:16
um and I wrote on threads elon's tummy
00:00:18
just beat out daauus in a tank um he
00:00:21
said he was uh same thing with Howard
00:00:24
Dean it was so embarrassing it was so
00:00:25
awkward he called himself dark Maga a
00:00:28
lot of people are calling him dork magga
00:00:30
I can't imagine Trump being happy about
00:00:31
any of this but uh what do what do you
00:00:34
think of this also Trump by the way gave
00:00:36
a speech and I noted this on Chris walls
00:00:38
this weekend his cognitive difficulties
00:00:39
are so apparent um and the New York
00:00:42
Times finally wrote a big story about it
00:00:44
uh this week uh I've been saying this
00:00:46
for a while the cognitive uh exchange
00:00:48
it's worse I mean he he says crazy
00:00:50
things all the time this is a whole new
00:00:51
level of cognitive failure on his part
00:00:54
uh your thoughts on the Elon jump
00:00:57
whatever it was well let's go in there's
00:00:59
a lot there let's go in reverse disorder
00:01:00
with respect to his cognitive function
00:01:02
or
00:01:03
dysfunction uh both of us said this
00:01:05
early and often to the you know to the
00:01:07
to the bother of many of our listeners
00:01:10
and that is Biden was just too [ __ ]
00:01:11
old biology says hold my beer around
00:01:14
what you think or what you're hoping is
00:01:15
going to happen if Trump is reelected he
00:01:18
will be older than Biden was when he was
00:01:21
too old to run for president except
00:01:23
Trump has supposedly a history of mental
00:01:26
impairment or dementia his father had
00:01:29
dementia yeah he refuses to release the
00:01:33
records of his cognitive tests and he's
00:01:36
obese so folks I mean Biden was too old
00:01:41
this guy is way too old now as it
00:01:42
relates to
00:01:43
Trump uh and and musk or as I say uh
00:01:48
[ __ ] SpaceX he's literally look the the
00:01:51
reality is for the campaign for their
00:01:53
core
00:01:54
constituents it was probably a good move
00:01:57
a lot of people really admire for a lot
00:02:00
of understandable reasons musk to me
00:02:03
there's a it represents the two of them
00:02:05
on stage and how much love and adulation
00:02:07
they get represents something deeper and
00:02:09
darker and that is the aspirational
00:02:13
vision of masculinity represented by
00:02:15
these guys has turned so coarse so vile
00:02:18
being such you know between the two of
00:02:20
them they have 17
00:02:22
kids by six different women MH with with
00:02:27
musk you have a guy who when he gets to
00:02:30
a position of power accuses his workers
00:02:32
of of sex crimes falsely such that they
00:02:34
have to leave their home does not pay
00:02:36
contracted legally obligated Severance
00:02:40
dead names says his daughter is dead to
00:02:44
him dead to him and yet we have VCS
00:02:48
including those that come on our podcast
00:02:49
and make all sorts of [ __ ] excuses
00:02:51
for the guy and what I have found is
00:02:54
that generally speaking it represents
00:02:57
this dark peanut butter and chocolate Z
00:02:59
us in our
00:03:01
society where we have conflated
00:03:04
masculinity with coarseness with cruelty
00:03:08
and some [ __ ] up Vision that as long
00:03:09
as you're rich you can treat women like
00:03:12
[ __ ] you can be a shitty dad a shitty
00:03:16
employer I mean these these guys it was
00:03:19
literally like the Parade of poor role
00:03:22
models for young men yep it really was
00:03:25
it it's just so upsetting that and and
00:03:28
it reflects something that
00:03:30
over the last 40 years people have
00:03:32
gotten so sick of politicians grin
00:03:35
[ __ ] them never saying anything
00:03:38
impolite never actually saying what
00:03:40
might be going on trying to please
00:03:42
everyone lying to everybody being PG-13
00:03:45
at best they were just so ready for
00:03:48
someone to come in and quite frankly
00:03:50
just be really coarse and these two are
00:03:53
are literally the the Fred and ginger of
00:03:57
in my view what it means to be to not be
00:04:00
a real man yeah I would agree I would
00:04:04
it's interesting because I do think I I
00:04:05
agree there's a lot of people who really
00:04:06
do Revere Elon Musk but boy did he look
00:04:09
dorky boy did he that was weird and I
00:04:12
Trump's face I thought was interesting
00:04:15
several times I don't think he liked it
00:04:17
much at all actually I think he was like
00:04:19
what is he doing taking up all my
00:04:21
[ __ ] oxygen it's like too like
00:04:24
desperate people desperate for attention
00:04:26
sponges fighting with each other kind of
00:04:29
things with the jumping and the
00:04:30
weirdness and you know who knows what he
00:04:32
was on you know uh it just was I thought
00:04:36
it was embarrassing actually it was
00:04:38
embarrassing it's like my first marriage
00:04:39
our first home we had one vanity in the
00:04:41
bathroom it got ugly it just got ugly
00:04:45
wait I need to look at me no I need to
00:04:47
look at me he seemed uncomfortable in
00:04:49
several of the pictures it was it was
00:04:52
like Elon needs the attention more and
00:04:55
it's embar it's like a desperate like he
00:04:57
makes Trump look humble by comparison
00:05:00
I have to say it was it was weird
00:05:02
although Trump was mandering all over
00:05:04
the place but but just to Circle back I
00:05:06
think it's good for Trump I I I just
00:05:08
think there's this that they both Trump
00:05:11
and musk have
00:05:13
this I know this Zealot like evang you
00:05:17

kind of that I think there can be this
00:05:25
is Highlander to me there can be only
00:05:26
one I think they're going to have such a
00:05:28
falling out it's going to be delicious
