Based Camp - The Deep State Is Real! How the Deep State Fights Trump

00:00:00.000 President Trump is a regulatory freeze preventing bureaucrats from issuing any

00:00:04.800 more regulations until we have full control of this the government with this

00:00:08.760 administration

00:00:13.760 thank you sir

00:00:18.760 are you not entertained are you not entertained

00:00:25.760 is this not why you are here

00:00:38.760 hello Malcolm I'm so excited to be speaking with you today today we're talking about the deep state

00:00:49.780 because for a long time actually well before Trump was elected I've been thinking oh my god is the

00:00:56.100 deep state real one first I think most normal people are like nah not really and then I read

00:01:02.080 the book at war with ourselves by H.R. McMaster oh hold on it's the fertility clinic hello this is

00:01:07.420 it is yes

00:01:14.420 oh my god I when you first said hi Simone you sounded kind of sad and I was so worried no no it's not

00:01:29.440 like you have to like call people with a smile on your face I was just so worried wow this is great

00:01:33.760 news the pregnancy test came back positive but very faint which is exactly what happened the last

00:01:42.320 time we lost a pregnancy so so I guess we'll see and in this book H.R. McMaster talks broadly about how

00:01:49.760 you know much he respects the office and how much he respected the president and really tried to do a

00:01:54.260 good job but at the same time he mentioned stuff that made me really think twice like at one point

00:02:00.260 President Trump wanted H.R. McMaster to send off a letter that he'd written to Vladimir Putin and rather

00:02:08.840 than follow his request he just sat on it for like two weeks hoping that the president would change his

00:02:15.300 mind or something and he did eventually tell President Trump that he hadn't sent it but one like

00:02:20.260 if your boss tells you to do a thing you do a thing you know unless it's illegal and two if the

00:02:30.700 president of the United States tells you to do a thing you do the thing like that really surprised

00:02:36.140 me especially that someone would so openly write about it in a book and be kind of like be proud

00:02:41.800 about it and he really was yeah and you mentioned that he did this repeatedly throughout the book he does

00:02:46.020 he does this multiple times and it just it made me think okay maybe there's something to this whole

00:02:52.880 narrative so then when Cremieux put up a sub stack essay talking about civil service members and

00:03:02.380 political appointees I got really intrigued because Cremieux is really good at sharing very quantified very

00:03:10.160 sort of evidence-backed information one of the top things that he linked to was an article from 2021

00:03:16.740 sort of at the tail end of Trump's reign his first administration talking about just how awful it was

00:03:24.100 it's called Tales from the Swamp How Federal Bureaucrats Resisted President Trump by James Shirk and it is

00:03:31.540 insane so I thought it might be fun to go through it contrast that with how the Trump administration is

00:03:38.700 apparently dealing with things a little bit differently this time around because they've

00:03:42.980 learned from all this in terms of things done one there there are sort of general themes of how the

00:03:49.180 deep state resists an administration one is through withholding information so at the National Labor

00:03:55.480 Relations Board career staff provided legal analysis that only cited precedent supporting their preferred

00:04:01.880 outcomes while omitting contrary cases this forced political appointees to conduct their own research to

00:04:08.140 evaluate both sides of legal arguments which is just so insidious can you imagine you've been

00:04:13.880 appointed you're in office you have this mandate to do something and you don't even realize that

00:04:18.340 you're being like given this completely skewed understanding of reality I guess a lot of people

00:04:22.980 are going to say well that's not a big deal because this has been how the media has presented

00:04:26.840 everything since like I guess 2016. Well in the Trump administration the first one nobody understood

00:04:32.720 how truly insidious the system was against them. Yeah like maybe the mainstream media does that but

00:04:38.640 like government workers whose job it is to help me like navigate an issue that this is insane.

00:04:45.400 The whole thing needs to be burned down and Trump is burning it down as we'll talk about in another

00:04:49.280 episode you know he has offered six months it looks like paid leave to anyone who quits right now

00:04:54.080 he has moved on more than that basically now through September. Yeah this schedule seven program which

00:05:01.020 recategorizes jobs so he can fire them and he is just torching department after department so I love

00:05:07.280 he has both given this okay you can get out with this good nest egg if you leave right now and also when

00:05:14.580 they said in the same email we can't promise your job will still be here by then. Right and speaking of

00:05:18.980 departments that are on the chopping block at least you know according to campaign promises the

00:05:23.960 department of education during Trump's first administration saw career staff concealing

00:05:29.120 internal documents related to allegations against for-profit colleges claiming they just claimed the

00:05:34.200 data was unavailable then the documents were later revealed during litigation showing weak evidence for

00:05:39.700 the department's actions under the Obama administration so you know they kind of had it coming you know

00:05:45.760 but Trump gave them a chance clearly he was being stonewalled from within the department of education it's

00:05:51.140 got to go but also you know I heard the only reason he didn't get rid of it in the first administration

00:05:55.260 was because Betsy DeVos wanted a job there and her husband was CEO of BlackRock

00:05:59.380 so F Betsy DeVos okay she did like very little actual like she was like the worst person in the 0.98

00:06:09.240 world to be running that organization I mean you know also the the environmental the environmental

00:06:15.140 say that is because she ran one of the largest private colleges in the United States which one 1.00

00:06:20.440 was it I don't know DeVos I want to say or something Betsy DeVos ran DeVos yeah something

00:06:25.980 like that and the goal if any Trump run private you know should be to not just get rid of colleges but

00:06:31.360 to first get rid of the private colleges because they are scams that are run on our military mostly

00:06:36.460 is what they are yeah yeah they basically extract military subsidized college education yeah that's

00:06:43.800 it's bad without getting people jobs so career attorneys at the environmental protection agency

00:06:48.760 also failed to inform political appointees about significant litigation or legal positions so the

00:06:54.300 appointees literally literally had to monitor public court filings themselves like these so there were

00:07:01.760 people there being paid who were actively not doing their jobs and appointees were basically like

00:07:07.480 circumventing them and just going on to public records to try to get the information they needed to just do

00:07:13.720 their job so I mean wow that just withholding information that's that I would say it's just

00:07:19.920 shocking that you can't fire them for doing that like this is what it is it's raw yeah it's bad I would

00:07:26.560 still put this withholding of information kind of under the lesser infractions section because

00:07:34.000 it gets worse so career officials of the food and drug administration falsely claimed the agency had

00:07:41.300 authority over laboratory developed COVID-19 tests delaying expanded testing capacity and subsequent

00:07:47.920 analysis revealed the FDA lacked such authority so basically we could have had COVID-19 tests a lot

00:07:53.920 earlier during the pandemic if the FDA hadn't lied about its its authority and I and I will note here that

00:08:01.740 it appears very clear like if you look at a lot of Democrats a lot of Republicans forget this but a lot of

00:08:07.260 Democratic politicians were saying that they wouldn't get the the vaccine if it was when it was looked like

00:08:12.320 it was going to come out under Trump and it appears that the FDA specifically held up its release so that it

00:08:18.840 would come out under Biden administration so however that turned out for Biden and the Democrats up to you but the

00:08:25.160 point being is it was intentionally delayed as bad as the Democrats say that we needed this vaccine yeah yeah and in hard

00:08:32.360 evidence of this now it's like undeniable yeah it seems like some of this was out of spite some of this was just like we

00:08:38.600 don't want the Trump administration to make progress and and we we want progress yeah like a good example of this actually is with the

00:08:46.840 the Department of Labor so career employees at the Department of Labor asserted to appointees that direct final rules

00:08:53.880 DFRs could not be issued what happens after Biden enters office oh there's all these direct these direct final rules being issued

00:09:03.960 huh so I bet they didn't expect Trump to come back into office did they I mean like seriously I I just can't imagine and I think we've all kind of been

00:09:16.680 been in positions where you you go to like a really mean click at school or you're in

00:09:23.720 a new department at work you know and and someone's being really unfriendly and you're just trying to get

00:09:29.000 something done and they're like oh you can't you you can't file that paper that way or you you're not

00:09:32.680 allowed to do that and then you later understand or learn that you can and they were just lying to you to make

00:09:37.800 your life hard just like there's this level of catty behavior taking place in the federal government

00:09:44.040 is unreal and also the there were some career staff at the national labor relations board which of course

00:09:52.200 we should expect to see doing silly things but they provided incorrect dates for reopening union contract

00:09:58.520 negotiations so that they could lock political appointees into unfavorable terms which is so screwed up

00:10:05.960 but also I would expect absolutely nothing yeah more from labor relations so yeah why is there even a

00:10:12.680 labor relations department like that shouldn't well yeah why why are there federal why are there unions

00:10:18.520 in the federal government you know that that's another great question wait can Trump make the federal

00:10:23.640 government anti-union is that possible can you just say like no Trump was a pro-union candidate

00:10:28.520 wasn't he I mean he's he supports oh yeah I mean you you stick with the private sector unions but I'm

00:10:33.080 talking about federal government unions yeah that doesn't seem right like when it's taxpayer dollars

00:10:38.920 well you're not negotiating against another party you're negotiating against yourself like it makes

00:10:44.360 no sense you're you are when I I actually am very supportive of unions when the unions are fighting

00:10:50.760 against a private party like a company or even like a board of company you know like a Disney or something

00:10:56.680 right yeah but when there's like a teacher's union who are you negotiating against you're negotiating

00:11:02.840 against people that you are electing right like if you think you deserve a higher salary then you take

00:11:09.080 that to the citizens it's not some big mega bucks guy behind a desk yeah but anyway yeah national labor 0.94

00:11:17.000 relations board assholes they also some of the lawyers at the national labor relations board refused to draft 0.94

00:11:22.120 decisions overturning administrative presidents that they supported they basically were like 0.95

00:11:27.320 i dare you to dismiss these to anyone who was appointed they just refused and that's that's

00:11:32.680 another really common theme so like another theme of what was being done by the deep state during

00:11:37.160 trump's first administration is just refusing to do work that was considered ideologically disagreeable

00:11:43.240 so another example of this is the civil rights division of the department of justice

00:11:48.920 had some staff refusing to work on cases involving racial discrimination against asian americans at

00:11:53.320 yale university or enforcing conscious conscience protections for nurses objecting to participating

00:11:59.160 in abortions they just weren't willing to work on those cases so political appointees had to handle 0.64

00:12:04.360 those cases themselves which probably is for the best but the appointees are very capable people and

00:12:09.480 and did a great job but just like outright refusing well didn't they win that yale case

00:12:14.680 i think they did so yeah i guess i guess it's for the best yeah you should have taken that one cronies 0.67

00:12:21.320 yeah i mean the the worst thing to do and and what i think has happened to us a couple of times

00:12:26.360 is when people say oh yeah i'll do that and then they just don't and and here are some examples of

00:12:30.120 that happening basically well hold on before we go for i love this this entire deep state is basically

00:12:35.160 the bergens but like actively malicious or not the berg what are they called again the ones from uh

00:12:40.200 uh hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy yeah the the bureaucrats there we go oh kidnapping the president 0.88

00:12:48.280 oh no she's not eligible for release at this time okay right look this this is the president oh okay

00:12:56.760 see there he says now the whole kidnapping business was just a horrible misunderstanding oh yeah

00:13:03.560 she didn't mean anything by he's ordering you to let her go but this isn't a presidential release

00:13:10.040 she's a prisoner for those are blue oh i'll stay here okay yeah yeah but it's basically it is

00:13:19.880 basically then so yeah the the worst case of that of course is when they just say yeah sure i'll do it

00:13:24.600 and they don't and that happened in the dol the department of labor regulatory unit where a team of 10 to

00:13:30.760 15 staff delayed drafting a priority regulation for over a year producing work at a pace equally one line

00:13:38.440 of text per day so really just like they were not they were not doing it and then the political

00:13:42.920 appointees in that unit ultimately wrote the regulation themselves in weeks they just you know

00:13:48.280 they just did it themselves but a ton of time was lost because they sat there thinking oh these guys

00:13:53.480 are these guys are on it we asked them like they probably had a bunch of check-ins where they're like

00:13:57.400 hey you know what's going on like oh well you know it's a very complicated you and i have had this happen to

00:14:02.040 us like when we get scammed it's it was well especially when we were younger and earlier in

00:14:07.640 our careers we were given the impression and this was a big meme at stanford's business school we're

00:14:13.400 like oh if you throw money at a problem you'll fix it you know just hire the best of the best hire the

00:14:18.040 consultant hire the you know yeah and trust them you know trust the expert let the expert work don't get

00:14:23.960 in their way let them fix the problem and we hired a couple people to do really important projects on

00:14:29.400 those fronts in accounting um and in compliance and some other things and you know we check in

00:14:35.080 and be like hey you know i thought this would be done by now what's what's going on oh well you know 0.97

00:14:39.720 this whole this whole regulatory this is the thing experts are fucking retarded well we were just being 0.96

00:14:46.120 actively lied to in a couple of instances people just actively lied to us they were not working they 0.95

00:14:50.680 were charging us tons of money they were not doing anything at all and this is exactly what happened

00:14:54.600 in the department of labor regulatory unit also this happened at the u.s department of agriculture

00:14:59.960 career staff took over two years to rescind an environmental rule affecting alaska despite

00:15:04.520 having issued similar rules quickly under prior administration so they basically just decided to

00:15:09.240 not do it it's just so bad and then i mean similarly another theme here is producing unacceptable work

00:15:18.360 products with the like title line regulations career staff produced drafts that either diverged from

00:15:25.160 policy priorities that were legally indefensible so again the appointees had to do all the work which

00:15:30.120 again is for the best probably and then under usda neba rulemaking despite expertise career staff

00:15:37.240 produced unusable drafts for an environmental regulatory reform requiring political appointees to rewrite it

00:15:44.760 this is where i want to sort of point out how this is going to backfire so freaking bad because one in trump's

00:15:52.760 first administration plenty of appointees found out that it was just easier to do everything themselves

00:15:58.840 and they did now like as of this week open ai released a government iteration of its ai tools

00:16:08.520 that allow for government workers even with security clearances to use offline in an as your environment

00:16:15.480 government versions of open ai's best best resources right now i think you know and this is something

00:16:24.600 that that we're also you know what happened to us when we discovered that we've been lied to so many

00:16:29.000 times by people that we'd hired in to like solve problems and handle really important strategic issues

00:16:34.760 we just learned never freaking no more we're not going to hire lawyers we're not going to hire like

00:16:39.720 accounting consultants we're not going to hire rfp consultants like no we're just not going to do it

00:16:44.440 because every time we do we get disappointed at best they're just not very efficient at worst they're

00:16:49.800 actively negligent not doing anything and overcharging us and then producing terrible work

00:16:54.440 so what's going to happen is and i think it's already starting those those jobs just won't exist

00:17:02.200 anymore those departments just won't exist anymore if you are going to be a hostile deep state

00:17:08.840 you're going to be eliminated no well i mean this time they're going in with flame

00:17:12.520 through earth and i think that they'll actually at first i didn't i thought the deep state would be

00:17:16.280 able to fight back but what i've learned is this strategy that trump is doing this administration

00:17:21.880 which is just an everything at once in as as aggressively as you can strategy the forces arrayed

00:17:28.760 against trump just didn't like they don't know what the to do like they at first it was like okay rakes

00:17:36.360 broke we ran away we reformed and now it's like yeah now they're coming back with the flame thrower and

00:17:41.160 they're like i learned i learned and we're gonna burn it all down yeah you know they started with

00:17:46.840 drain the swamp and they were like totally willing to like keep the riparian environment you know let's

00:17:53.000 try to preserve some of this let's not let's not nuke it now no no no no everything no there will be

00:17:59.880 nothing left and it shouldn't it should be this should all be done by appointees only now like if i took

00:18:06.200 over a department because it is hard to fire people so the way i probably handle it is i just go to

00:18:10.440 everyone in the department and be like i've got great news you all can well i mean obviously anyone

00:18:15.000 working from home would be fired but i will immediately fire you if you go work from home

00:18:19.560 and we don't need you to do any work anymore and they'd be like what do you mean no work anymore

00:18:23.560 i'm gonna be like i'm handling all of it i got a little team of you know guys here you guys just don't

00:18:28.760 need to do anything at all anymore and then wait because that will give you all the everything you need to

00:18:35.640 fire them you're like why are we still still have this entire department when without them i'm able

00:18:41.080 to do my the entire department's job and i can guarantee you one competent like small team like

00:18:46.520 you and me could easily handle one of these departments jobs well in many ways it's just a lot

00:18:51.320 easier because you don't have these layers of morass i mean i one one of the things that hr 0.56

00:18:58.040 mcmaster described a little bit in his book was kind of all these like different things that had

00:19:04.680 to be done with every piece of presidential communication and every little this and that

00:19:09.000 and i'm sure that with the original presidents i mean obviously none of this existed and then over

00:19:13.880 time there's just been this bureaucratic creep of like oh well with every letter written we have to

00:19:19.480 you know make five copies of it and then run it by these three people and like they don't technically do

00:19:24.440 anything but they way slow things down and i'm just wondering like how much of this can just fully be

00:19:29.720 evaporated eliminated entirely because it just it just seems so so damaging and wrong and i it's but

00:19:38.280 what's so encouraging is it coming into this new administration i feel like we're seeing

00:19:43.000 the lessons learned another really common theme in hr mcmaster's book he never described doing it

00:19:48.600 himself obviously but he talked about it happening all the time which was leaks just like

00:19:54.120 everything that he was doing privately within the administration just seemed to be getting leaked

00:19:58.760 i think he thought steve bannon if memory serves was like doing a ton of the leaking just like but a

00:20:03.400 bunch of people clearly were and basically nothing was airtight within the administration and the same

00:20:08.600 thing happened for example at the general services administration there was one career lawyer who leaked

00:20:13.720 a draft executive order on federal building architecture which created a huge media controversy

00:20:19.080 that hindered its implementation similar with the the doj civil rights division internal emails

00:20:25.240 mischaracterizing political directives were leaked to the press to generate opposition and i i don't

00:20:30.600 think you can't even count the number of times things were maliciously linked during the administration

00:20:36.520 so well i think everyone is saying and anybody who is looking at this and is like oh this is like

00:20:41.160 nor this is not normal this is this is the theme of stealing an election this is the same as it's

00:20:47.000 worse i mean i don't know like okay maybe it's not worse but it's pretty damn bad no it is really really

00:20:55.400 bad you you cannot like this is the same as ignoring democratic processes this is the same as believing

00:21:03.880 that you have a right to and and keep in mind all of this is happening in the in the face of you know

00:21:08.520 blinken when trump was elected president throughout different federal offices they were giving psychology

00:21:14.920 counseling to people because these people couldn't handle that a a a election the democratic process

00:21:22.600 that the will of the people was being served not their will but the people's will but yeah that

00:21:27.640 their chosen candidate didn't get elected now i recall there used to be some kind of journalistic

00:21:33.080 rule or at least standard whereby if you were a journalist you wouldn't vote

00:21:38.520 because like you wanted to show that you respected your career and your office enough

00:21:42.440 to not have that kind of bias and to not let it seep into your work you know that's failed if

00:21:48.280 literally counseling is needed if someone's preferred candidate isn't being elected in the government

00:21:52.600 if journalists have the decency to not vote it seems almost to regard that anyone working for the

00:21:58.200 federal government should not be allowed to vote while holding their position so this is what i'm really

00:22:03.880 worried about now as we're on hiring freezes for example so in trump's second administration one

00:22:10.280 of the first things he did was implement a hiring freeze with of course some like notable exceptions

00:22:14.120 around like emergency like national security medical care things like that so during his first

00:22:19.720 administration there was a there was a hiring freeze an hhs hiring freeze and yet career staff circumvented that

00:22:26.360 by backdating start dates on hiring i work to pre-inauguration date they just sharpie that they

00:22:34.840 wait how are they not arrested for that that seems extremely illegal it does seem extremely illegal but

00:22:40.440 again who's going to arrest them you know when when everyone kind of agrees on these things yeah

00:22:46.040 don't get prosecuted anymore i mean even real legit crimes that everyone can agree are bad like that we've

00:22:51.320 you know had committed against our companies don't get prosecuted anymore of course no one's gonna go

00:22:56.760 anymore and it hasn't been because of the biden administration yep and then even in the again

00:23:03.080 back to the dickish national labor relations regional like the in this case regional staff

00:23:08.920 on the national labor relations board manipulated case tracking systems to hide cases from political

00:23:14.440 appointees or ignored directives on union election protocols until explicitly ordered otherwise so they

00:23:20.280 were basically just like actively actively stonewalling but i am really concerned you know considering

00:23:25.400 that hiring freezes were circumvented in the past one thing that the trump administration did this week

00:23:32.520 was put a freeze on grant spending to make sure that the the grant programs receiving money weren't

00:23:39.640 involved in you know gender ideology or a bunch of other things the trump administration says you know we have no

00:23:46.120 place spending federal tax dollars on which i agree with what i'm concerned about is a similar kind

00:23:51.160 of behavior is like even if for example it is full you know just seeped with gender ideology whoever's

00:23:58.120 reporting is going to just fill out some form or write a cover letter and be like no there is no gender yeah 0.99

00:24:03.960 but well how are they going to get around that i mean like well this time i think we need to we need to rely

00:24:08.360 a lot on inside whistleblowers so people who are sick of this like letting people know and i think

00:24:13.960 you know all this needs to be taken into context within like the aoc speech recently of like this

00:24:18.520 is a nation of laws that remains that is the law that is the constitution and and he just tried to

00:24:25.720 sign a piece of paper saying trying to say no we don't have to listen to him it's illegal we don't

00:24:33.320 have to treat this seriously it's a joke and that's not to say that what they're trying to do

00:24:39.320 isn't serious it is serious and it's like the laws never apply when it's your side you don't

00:24:45.800 it's it's laws when you can use them to subjugate people who you disagree with or dehumanize but the

00:24:52.920 laws are irrelevant when you are in power and i think that we need to remember always remember that

00:24:58.760 that that's the way that they treat the concept of the nation of laws is that the laws don't apply

00:25:04.840 to them and so long as that's the case uh and and we try to play by their rules of laws and everything

00:25:12.200 like that then then it's just never going to work out you you have to be as aggressive as possible

00:25:17.800 as what you're talking about we've already seen this we've already seen people trying to

00:25:21.800 re-categorize what dei is we've seen people try to just change the names of departments change the

00:25:27.800 names of people's positions and i think that you know there's an army of youtubers out there there's

00:25:32.920 an army of really pissed off citizens and they need to have some sort of like a department where

00:25:39.560 we can drop this information for them and then maybe ai vet it or something to get this so they

00:25:45.720 can't easily be flooded and then you could also have a system where people who have repeatedly dropped

00:25:51.080 good tips their accounts get flagged so their tips go to the top to make them more trustworthy

00:25:57.080 well no it makes it very hard for the left to just you know flood it with bad information yeah and if

00:26:03.080 you do that then you've got a system pretty quickly where it's like oh yeah just get this to like the

00:26:07.160 libs of tiptock account and it will immediately head to the federal government that's the way i would

00:26:12.360 handle this i could see that yeah yeah no this is this is really important and it's not just about

00:26:20.920 the trump administration's agenda being stymied or slowed down what creme points out in his substack

00:26:28.200 article after also summarizing some of the points made in the swamp article is that it literally costs all

00:26:36.360 taxpayers more when a government is misaligned he actually points out how misaligned civil servants

00:26:42.840 increase procurement costs by about one percent of initial contract value contributing six percent of

00:26:48.280 the average total cost overruns he he points out how there's a correlation between misalignment and

00:26:53.160 delays in contract completion and how the legal and operational misdirection also costs a lot of

00:26:59.400 money i mean even just thinking about the people who were paid to write register legislation who wrote

00:27:05.480 like about one line a week you know like this is just it's a ton of wasted money and he also points

00:27:13.480 out that misalignment agencies like the sec results in politically motivated investigations and penalties

00:27:18.200 against firms that are misaligned with the administration so just like everyone hurts you

00:27:23.880 know this is this is a really big problem and what we need to keep an eye on i guess as all of this goes

00:27:28.280 forward at least according to creme when he when he wrote this article is schedule f so

00:27:34.440 there was an executive order issued by donald trump in 2020 in october which is re-issued by the way

00:27:42.760 yeah yes um yes because it was rescinded by the biden administration which creates a new category of

00:27:48.840 federal civil servant position known as schedule f which basically redefines federal workers as at will

00:27:57.240 employees which is the norm in the united states at will basically means you can be fired at any point

00:28:03.720 for any reason just immediately you know i i could call anyone who's an at will employee and be like

00:28:10.280 you're fired and they're gone and this would do the same to federal workers who cannot do that which is

00:28:16.200 also insane to me the the frustrating thing about the first iteration of schedule f was that no employees

00:28:21.880 were officially moved into the schedule before president biden refoked the order on january 22nd

00:28:27.000 in 2021 oh so it's going to be implemented this time yeah now i was coming in on top of this and so

00:28:35.480 we'll see these guys are getting super scy on trump this time let last time they got untransformed they

00:28:42.120 don't know what they don't know what's gonna hit them and i'm excited for this yeah i mean they clearly

00:28:46.040 didn't expect trump to win again so i would say one whether or not you even like trump's agenda

00:28:51.800 you should care about this because it costs you more it causes damage it's a huge waste

00:28:56.920 and also you know when your person is in office someday you don't want them to necessarily have

00:29:02.920 their mandate completely stymied by democrats never have a problem with this Simone as we've seen

00:29:09.800 this is a hundred percent a republican thing because the deep state is well yeah except i think a lot

00:29:14.680 of people who identify as democrats probably also don't love the idea of asians being discriminated

00:29:19.880 against as college applicants that was the deep state is democrat in the same way the democratic

00:29:25.560 party now is a party of the cult there are people who identify if you identify as like a normal democrat 1.00

00:29:31.560 you're a republican now you're just stupid i'm just saying like you're just stupid you're unaware of 1.00

00:29:36.040 like what's actually happening you're unaware of like i think a lot of people are i wasn't aware 1.00

00:29:42.520 of where the democrat party had had gone when i first met you and i was still a democrat i just

00:29:47.800 had no idea yeah well yeah and it depends on where you're getting your news and stuff like that like

00:29:51.960 if your head's in the sand you're just not gonna know that like yeah because you just assume i'm gay

00:29:58.120 yeah like well i believe in you know human dignity and flourishing so obviously i'm a democrat like 0.98

00:30:03.880 that's that is what i grew up with malcolm i had no idea like what the fuck way is trump's administration 0.69

00:30:08.520 anti-gay and you're like well the i'm sure there's something here here i i've got a book i'm sure 0.96

00:30:13.560 that they'll tell me and it's like no no i'm asking you not for you to ask other people to tell you

00:30:19.400 because most of those are lies you know and i think with a lot of this it's just that people believe the

00:30:23.960 lies you know yeah but yeah so between schedule f and also just not hiring people as they leave the

00:30:33.400 government making the government increasingly uncomfortable for them and using ai to fill in the 0.65

00:30:39.240 gaps where already competent humans couldn't necessarily completely handle everything i think

00:30:45.800 could get us through this and make the government a lot more efficient a lot more effective and a lot

00:30:50.120 less subject to political bias either way because i believe i think most voters do that if a politician

00:30:56.760 gets voted into office with a mandate he should or she should be able to execute on that so yeah

00:31:02.120 we'll see all right love you too i have to explain to the audience why we got a call from the school

00:31:11.480 today our son octavian is making too many books and also finger guns so finger guns they got mad at him

00:31:23.480 for finger guns for finger not even children objects or up in the air well i don't know maybe he's aiming

00:31:31.320 it at fellow students they would have told you if he was they want to make this seem as bad as possible

00:31:39.080 they also got mad at him for militarized phraseology which it turns out was the term

00:31:44.040 fire in the hole they are they and and then they said he tells food poop jokes as a five-year-old i'm

00:31:49.800 like what kind of child abuse is this where a five-year-old cannot tell poop jokes what kind of

00:31:57.080 child abuse is this we're a five-year-old can't make finger guns i think every every human has to

00:32:03.720 learn how to behave with a certain level of decorum in certain environments and that is what separates

00:32:11.640 people who are worthy of respect and high office from people who can't stay out of jail

00:32:19.240 come on i'll give you i'll let you in on something he's five well i know but i'll also like as i was

00:32:25.720 saying that i was thinking about how congress changed its dress code so that yeah for fetterman

00:32:31.000 right what do you even wear hoodies and shorts into and and i'd also point out in regards to all of this

00:32:37.080 that if the teacher had called me as someone is totally so terrified she might have i would have been

00:32:43.560 like oh i see where the confusion is let me explain to you how a gun works and why finger guns are not

00:32:49.800 dangerous oh my god welcome he wanted to go he wanted to go to mainstream school in kindergarten

00:32:57.800 he needs to learn how to play by those rules and he will get kicked out if we can't teach him how to

00:33:03.880 play the rules he'd say like oh he's making poop jokes i mean what kind of jokes should a five-year-old

00:33:09.400 be making ma'am do you do you are you going to teach him the finer etiquette of like advanced

00:33:14.680 jokeology yeah let's let's teach him dirty lyrics that's far more he's not even making like anti-women

00:33:21.400 jokes or cootie jokes or something it's poop jokes they're like it's so inoffensive i don't know what 0.99

00:33:27.400 to say okay well i do and it's that you guys are a bunch of disgusting hippies 1.00
