Speaker 1:

We're going to bring them back. We're going to bring them back when in reality, those jobs they're gone Like they're lying to their constituents on that side. You know, I just I'm happy to see the Harris campaign and also the Democrats actually step aside, because remember, even with Bernie Sanders, when that happened and a lot of people wouldn't support him when he had kind of more of the youth vote and more of what they probably needed to push over the line. I think they're making some corrections and also Harris is going to also have the advantage that Hillary didn't. When Hillary went into the ring, Trump for the first time was like doing things that no one had ever seen a politician do, that everybody was, just their jaws were dropped.

Speaker 2:

And they're like what do I?

Speaker 1:

say so. I think Harris, being a former prosecutor, is going to do very well in the ring. I'm looking forward to the September 10th.

Speaker 2:

And I think I think they've figured out the way to kind of get under his skin and I think they're going to continue to do that and they're going to push those buttons during the debate. Yeah, and so we're going to see some things from Trump. I think that may be surprising, I don't know. I don't know, but the convention atmosphere and the people there, just the level of enthusiasm and it was such a cross section of America. I mean there were business people, there were store owners, there were farmers, there were ranchers, there were, you know, factory workers, union people, government employees, I mean teachers were really there being supported. So it really was amazing. Just seeing this whole cross-section of people all coming together really happened. That was so, so surprising was how quickly Joe and Kamala were able to put together this coalition and bring everyone together. And, to be fair, we hear a lot of complaints about nobody voting for her. That's usually the Republicans, because if you're a Democrat, we all know we voted for her because it was a package deal of it's Biden and Harris.

Speaker 2:

And so we always had Harris as our number two. So the fact that they you know somebody thought it might be a good idea to have an open you know primary week and you know, just let people go at each other. I'm like how incredibly stupid is that we have somebody who is probably the most qualified woman ever to be president of anybody, who could possibly be being a local prosecutor, a state prosecutor, a US senator and vice president. I mean, that's some pretty heady stuff there and I like to joke. On the vice president side I said do you want somebody for vice president who reached the highest enlisted level in the state military of their state, who was a award winning football coach, who spent 16 years in Congress, who has been elected governor and has actually run things? Or do you want the guy who doesn't know how to order donuts? Oh, my god, I mean for me.

Speaker 2:

it's pretty simple, that was so awkward. And it's like Governor Walz, I mean.

Speaker 1:

I don't mean to use the trademark, that's not even my intention right now, but it was a weird moment.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, governor Walz, did you see the one?

Speaker 1:

where Tim. He goes in and I think he's like somewhere he's ordering something like I think days later at like some sort of oh, no, no, that's it.

Speaker 2:

That's the thing I was going to tell you is that the Saturday before the convention, we had a rally for walls here in Omaha, where it was less than 48 hours to put together, and we we had in excess of 7,500 requests for a 2,500-seat venue and we ended up with about 3,000 or 4,000 overflow in the amphitheater outside.

Speaker 2:

But, when he got done he had the motorcade stop at the Runzo Restaurant, which is a unique Nebraska chain. There's only, I think there's one maybe in Iowa and one in Colorado, so it's strictly a Nebraska product. And they make cabbage and beef sandwiches. Some people call them crop burgers beer rocks.

Speaker 1:

I saw the menu and I was like I'm not sure what that is.

Speaker 2:

What is a runza? It's a meal in a bunza If we're in Nebraska we all know that you got the frings, which is an order of onion rings and fries together. Do?

Speaker 1:

you think you could bring frings to Los Angeles, because that's.

Speaker 2:

I would love to. What I would really love to do is bring Runza to LA, because they are so unique and so good. But so he goes in. He knows what to do. He talks to the people, he gets his order, he gets back in the motorcade and is taking it back to minnesota because the next day they're going on the bus tour in pennsylvania. So his wife, on monday, when we were talking to him, he goes. Uh well, tim went down to the refrigerator to get ready to go to texas or get ready to go to pennsylvania. We were going to take them with us and we discovered that our son ate all of them.

Speaker 1:

Wow.

Speaker 2:

And so it's like yes, I want somebody who knows how to live in the real world, as opposed to somebody who's in this fictional world, who has never worked at a useful job in their life. You know, managing other people, supervising being in charge of a business. Managing other people supervising being in charge of a business. He basically worked for a venture capitalist who then moved to Ohio solely for the purpose of running for office, and Peter Thiel spent billions of dollars to get this guy put into the US Senate, where he's been for two years, and now they want to make him one heartbeat away from the president of the United States and nobody knows jack about him. No, I'm sorry, that's. That's not a good idea.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and it's weird because it feels like he's an ally, like don't get me, quote me on this, but is he wearing guy liner?

Speaker 2:

He was friends with a trans individual at Yale Law School. They were like good friends and he was involved. He's selling himself out for political power, but like I feel like he does yes, he has guy-.

Speaker 1:

Listen, listen. I allegedly used to wear eyeliner. That's why I tried to do my femininity before I transitioned. That looks like eyeliner on the lower lid.

Speaker 2:

And I do eyeliner. He may have permanent guy-liner, I don't know. He may have gotten them tattooed or something, but yes, it looks like he is constantly wearing uh liner and clearly we can't trust him around any couches, right? So like that's like the whole well, that was a whole made-up thing.

Speaker 1:

But hey, it was a good made-up one now, listen if they have to fact check it, though. We went to the book okay. Well, it was a good made-up one. Listen if they had to fact-check it though.

Speaker 2:

We went to the book. Okay, well, it was the first edition of the book. No, it's not in there. But what did the right do to counteract that? For the same type thing is a fake newspaper article about Tim Walls going to the hospital for drinking too much horse semen. Wait what you haven't seen, Tim.

Speaker 2:

Walls going to the hospital for drinking too much horse semen. I mean, you haven't seen that one? Oh no, there's all kinds of folks on Twitter Colin, colin, colin, tim Walls, a cum drinker, you know, drinking horse, drinking horse, drinking horse cum.

Speaker 1:

Well, I mean, oh my god, I've been to the Folsom Street Fair.

Speaker 2:

so I mean and so I'm at least thinking. You know, Vance, fucking the Couch is within the realm of possibility.

Speaker 1:

I'm just saying it sounds like they're an ally, and the thing is, I feel like I said this in an episode so long ago before a lot of folks were saying this, but I was talking about Project 2025. Episode so long ago before a lot of folks were saying this, but I was talking about project 2025. I don't remember where I said it. I've been still trying to look for the content. I don't know if it was this episode or on this season or like some other show, but I I heard about the project 2025 and like that's basically a plan to overthrow the government. How is this even legal to exist? Because like isn't there section code? I forget the number, but like they're literally like breaking federal law by like even hiring to do this because they're like.

Speaker 1:

I think you might know that better than I would, but like it's.

Speaker 2:

I mean you can advocate for changes in government and eliminating government services, government projects. There's nothing that says you know that we have to have a Department of Education, for God's sakes. It didn't exist until you know, I think, nixon put it in. Epa didn't exist until you know Nixon put it in, and so you know you could do these things. Nixon put it in um, and so you know you could do these things.

Speaker 1:

So talking about eliminating things like that, is, you know, not necessarily uh, treasonous, but the the effect that they're talking about. I I mean, again, this might be my tiktok rabbit hole, then. That's why I'd love to get it clarified, because there's probably other people that are down this rabbit hole themselves, but from my understanding again, project 2025 is basically conspiring to rip down the entire government, put in loyalists to Trump only and rip down any department that is considered woke, like the education, et cetera, et cetera. I mean.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean, but we as we, as reason is there, I don't know. Yeah, well, no, I mean, look, it is a crazy ass plan to yeah, yes, but advocating for removal of a government agency or service, you know nothing, is inherently you know wrong about that. Necessarily, people have, you know, opposed the Department of Education from day one, but it still continues to exist. But it's an existence of legislation and executive action. Legislation can change that. You can't universally just get rid of it because it's authorized by Congress. You would have to take over Congress, it'd have to be an act of Congress to eliminate whatever wants.
