And all of a sudden .
Yeah , it's incredible that you know Carol so well . You know what she's going to drink before she starts drinking .
So I don't know , is mixing the tea I made last night with bourbon really considered bougie ? If you have I did not specifically make it for a cocktail . I just left the pot out on the counter and then said I'm going to make that in my cocktail .
If you have goldfish with it . Yes , that's pretty bougie .
Gold , gold schlager A goldfish goldfish .
Yes , I have not had like a bottle of gold schlager in my house .
I had gold schlager since 1995 , when I was drunk in Vegas .
Did you remember what year was ?
Maybe she doesn't go to Vegas that often .
Well , from here it's like super cheap . So I used to go . I used to go a lot and but yeah , when I was like hanging out with Omar and and now .
This is already getting out of control Already . All right , you got to have the sober up to help us navigate this podcast .
Well , yeah , this is happening .
How many shots did you take ?
The fine shots .
Or how many , how many ? How much alcohol did you consume over the short amount of time since we've been preparing for A lot .
Don't you like you know it has been less a lot . You can like you heard all that stuff she listed that she started talking about at the beginning . She needs that . She needs to escape the reality of that line of thought .
I'm not judging . I'm not judging , I'm just saying if anyone needs a drink , I totally understand like that feeling .
Sometimes the feelings have just got to die .
You have to drown them in alcohol . Yeah , no , I totally get it .
Whenever , whenever , floats your boat .
If there's literally anyone on this planet who understands the need for alcohol consumption at this point in the day , week , month , year , it is your boy over here . I could totally relate , but all right , we'll just . We'll figure it out , no matter how sober or how much of a lack of sobriety we all have individually .
Yeah , and in case that part ended up in the pod , I don't want to sound like I was encouraging all of those addictive habits .
I'm like if you're down , do some hey look , you know , look , the way I cope with the number of issues in my life is through copious amounts of alcohol . So I , I , I , you know , I guess , if I'm the bad guy in that department , oh well , and I write terrible songs . Yes , okay , hey , this is the night this is Cal .
This is kind of .
And you're listening and Ty is drunk and you're listening to the party the interaction podcast , where we vote for presidents who don't need immunity because they never tried to overthrow the fucking government . But before we get to all of that , of course we have to you have to give a shout out to our sponsor , sheets and giggles .
They have the most incredible sheets on planet , goddamn earth . And if you're getting terrible nights of sleep , it's probably because you're . You're sheets suck and you need to upgrade . Stop being cheap , stop being broke , get off your ass , do some work , make some money , buy you some sheets from sheets and giggles dot com , and you know .
Dr . Oh shit is sheets .
And you know I guess if it's out of your control and you can't help it being broke , like the rest of us . We got some links in the show notes for you to get a little discount on those sheets from sheets and giggles , courtesy of part of the interaction . You're more than welcome .
Also , we got a couple of other things in the show notes , some links to support the show . I mean I don't really feel comfortable asking for your money . Give me your money because I don't do this for money .
I do .
Ty has been endeavoring in some difficult financial times . So if you want to support Ty's alcohol habits , you can like sign up to support the show . I recommend not getting , like you know , fantastically wild with your contribution . We're probably not worth it . So $3 and more , I think , is the lowest possible option . Go with that .
And there's some people who like subscribe to my Twitter account , like the subscription where you she's got some Zvetka . That is a . That is a brand of vodka . I suggest if you are in the alcohol consumption business , first of all avoid vodka , just in just generally speaking , generally speaking . But if you must consume vodka , do better than Shvetka .
Did you just say it was eight dollars 18 .
Yeah , well , there goes our vodka sponsorship , I'm sorry . No , there's some people signed up like subscribe to my Twitter account where it's like you know , you can Subscribe for like two dollars a month or something on mine and I don't ever tweet anything . For those people , like the only reason I sign this is a long tangent .
I don't even know how I got started on this , but , yeah , the only reason why I started the subscription thing so I could sign up for like Twitter blue and engage in like the , the ad affiliate program when Elon pays you to , you know , based on your views , to post or whatever .
So I basically pay eight dollars a month for Elon to pay me like a hundred dollars a month for all the fucking tweeting that I was gonna do anyway For free . Yeah , that's fucking incredible .
Oh well , it seems like the very Essence of kind of a pyramid scheme there . But if you want , the most successful Regular type people on Twitter is only pulling in a net $92 a month . All of their effort Wow , he is getting a really good deal out of you .
Oh , so here's the thing . Right , I it . This is . I had no plan on talking about this . I don't know how the fuck I even got on this tangent .
Because I , she railed you .
Oh , okay . So there are ways that you can like milk the system to get a lot , a lot of views , like one way . A lot of people have been doing it and this is just , you know , anecdotal evidence .
From what I've seen , it's like you put these replies on these viral tweets of videos and shit and it might , the shit might have like 30 , 40 likes , but it got like 50,000 views . So if you're putting this like random video nonsense responses to these viral tweets , you can get . You can get tens , if not hundreds of millions of views a month .
I assume those people are probably making quite a bit more money off of this endeavor than I am . Like I said again , I wasn't doing this for the money . I , you know , I was just already tweeting so I was like , fucking , he can give me some money to do what I was gonna do anyway .
Like this is this is what you get like , alright , you want to be a fucking asshole or the dick to your , you know , your subscriber base , telling them to pay you a dollar's ? Okay , pay me 100 anyway . So the subscription thing comes with like a you get like two dollars and you can , you know , post private content to gesture .
I Guess you're paying audience or whatever . Like the way I intended to dissuade people from paying me two dollars to subscribe to the thing is by saying that , like , the content would be like nudes . So I was hoping that people would like clearly understand and hey , this is not a like , a serious option . Like don't send me money , you're not gonna get anything .
And people just like signed up anyway . I don't know , they don't know what the fuck people doing .
Well , that seems like quite the bargain on nude photos . I Going rate should wooden should be more than two dollars . I mean .
Yeah , maybe if I were actually I Mean if I were actually posting nudes , maybe I'm not out here on this Drake shit .
They might think that , wow , two dollars for nudes , what a fucking bargain . Click .
Well , here's the thing . I currently have 47 subscribers On Twitter , or 42 subscribers on Twitter paying me two dollars a month for who the fuck knows . But I appreciate you guys . I guess I should give you a shout out on the podcast .
So you're not getting that money from your views . That's the money from . The money you mentioned earlier is from your followers .
No , so so I'm getting , I get , I . I there's a payout per month from the Subscribers and there's also a payout on a semi regular basis . That's not , it's not like an incremental basis . That's not really . Look , the way this whole fucking system works is totally dysfunctional .
It's like he slapped some shit together at the last second Because he had a fucking light bulb go off in his head . Like there's no rhyme or reason to how much or when you get paid . So it just kind of like I , this is stupid . I get payouts at random intervals , it's just , but it's not important , like I don't care , I just don't know anyway .
Yeah , totally unnecessarily long tangent that I ran off into as as Ty's getting her beauty sleep After consuming quite a , quite a bit of Svetka . And in Svetka , if you're listening , we love you , we love your , we love your vodka , even though I'll never drink it . But but still feel free to sponsor the block . I'm more of a whiskey .
Listening , I'm still not really that interested I like whiskey Jack is my friend .
Like we go way back .
You hear that , jack Daniels , I'm in Tennessee . Baby , who'd you boy ?
Will it's ? I don't know if you guys know I .
Want to pay $18 all day , every day .
I also like to Keela , like that is probably my second favorite , it is anyway , so in case you miss it , it was a , it was a major news day , and it's also been a while since , like , the three of us , have gotten together . In that case , it's been like a major news month .
Consequently , I did miss it already . Oh , I'm totally ready , I'm told I am confident and bullshitting through anything .
That's , that's totally fine .
I'm not , but I'm gonna do it .
You're a lawyer , so that kind of goes with the territory .
Yes , and a theater nerd .
Yes right .
So , you've got like acting skills and you've got like Total BSing your way through Complicated litigation skills . It's fantastic . It's the the perfect skill set for this podcast .
So the DC appeals court finally issued their ruling saying that no Presidents or at least former presidents and got no such thing as presidential immunity , basically ensuring that this trial and DC Barring some unforeseen circumstances at the Supreme Court will take place before the presidential election .
The Trump is probably gonna be convicted of Basically attempting to stop the peaceful transfer of power on January 6 , meaning that we're likely going to have a 2024 election between president Biden and a convicted felon . We don't have time necessarily to go through the entire ruling . It's 57 pages , you know .
If you would like to scroll through that on your own , feel free . Some of it is fairly Revelatory . Some of it's kind of anodine arguments about jurisdiction which are not important words .
Well , this biggest Pekipsi time . You'll never know what to spell it . No , just kidding .
Basically the Supreme Court in in in so few words , ruled that Trump is indeed indictable , or at least that's the way Marjorie Taylor would like to pronounce it Trump is indictable . Ain't no such thing as presidential immunity ?
Marge likes to consider herself pretty indictable .
Yeah .
She's able to get the dick in , but yeah , she's .
She's been indicted quite a bit since her arrival to Congress .
Here are all those groups , because it's Marjorie Taylor .
That was such a good one she is .
I feel like we are . We are slandering Marjorie Taylor Green here because you know we haven't necessarily seen her engage . I love this for her . Any outright hoesh behavior .
I didn't say she was a ho .
No , but I mean like we're implying some . She's had sex before , not that she's had sex before I don't know , but I mean , she's not like I would never use that as a slur .
No , but I'm just saying she's not like I would high , five her even and then punch her because she sucks .
Yeah , she sucks .
High five her first for her sexual conquests . You get it girl , but then don't turn around and be a fucking hypocrite and no , stop other people's issues .
She's also never been like at a theater groping dick in front of kids . So like whatever , like unkind things you might want to say about Marjorie .
That one time that I was there . I'm not going to fuck you , but .
Anyway , so long story short . The Supreme Court ruled a number of things in this attack on Trump's claims that a president needs the Supreme Court wasn't at the appeals .
I'm sorry Did .
I say Supreme Court . It's been a long day . Yes , the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that , among a number of things , that one Trump doesn't have immunity . It would be insane to give a president immunity for a number of reasons , but largely . If you did give the president immunity , you would basically in democracy you would end like the separation of powers .
You would end checks and balances like a president could basically do . Anything like part of the president's job it's written in the Constitution is to faithfully execute the laws .
If you gave a president immunity , what happened to the supply change Like it would Follow .
The supply change .
All right . When you change one supply for another along the chain .
All right , there's this video of Trump being interviewed by Fox News I can't remember which particular host in which he claims that . What was he saying ? That Biden broke the supply change . I I'm totally assuming he meant supply chain there .
Don't assume , because we're talking about that's the thing right and I was like well maybe you know , maybe his favorite band is the change smokers . I don't know what was going on there , but yeah , so we're going to change back to DC and another thing they basically set up .
Will they ?
The DC court of appeals .
But the thing we were just talking about got it . It's going to help the people in the back .
Yeah , they basically set a mandate that , as of next week , barring some kind of appeal to the Supreme Court , the stay on the DC trial would be lifted , likely meaning that , given that we've basically had a two month delay thanks to this appeal , that Trump's trial in DC , again barring some , some shenanigans from the Supreme Court , will probably be on track to
take place sometime around , at the earliest the end of May , but more likely June , because we it's been like a two month delay . You tack on two months from the original date of the DC trial for his January six activities and you end up somewhere around I don't know .
Unless they're ready . Unless they're ready , I'd be ready .
I mean . So the thing is you're not .
there's not fucking giving you a two month delay , fuck you .
No . So Chuck in won't do that because she's already said in in a number of on one occasion that Trump probably needs at least seven months to prepare for the trial and given that this thing has been on hold for a couple of months , you know , and he had only had five months to prepare up to this point , it's probably going to give him the extra time .
I mean again , thanks to this appeal and the ruling for them from the DC Circuit Court of Appeals , there was a stay . There's like he basically had no obligations to continue preparing for trial while waiting for this interlocutory appeal that's probably a fancy word you're going to hear bandied about .
It's just basically like an appeal that can take place before the trial . You know , in most , given that most , in most circumstances when it comes to criminal trials , appeals take place after the fact . But Trump managed to sneak one fucking in because his lawyers are always making some asinine arguments that that no courts typically ever had to adjudicate Anyway .
So , yeah , fun times Again . There are a number of our friends on the Internet who will give you a more long form , in depth analysis of this opinion by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals . I personally like the Jack podcast with our homegirl Allison .
And you know Andy McBabe if you're familiar with his work from his time as the former acting director of the FBI .
And his real name is McBabe . This man has overcome a lot .
Andrew McCabe . Ok , oh , oh , but yes , he has Well .
Andrew McCabe must be . He's gotten everything handed up on and everything handed to him on a silver plate , I assume if you're calling him McBabe .
All right .
So here's another side tangent so that's my point , is that attractive people are treated .
So , um , AG , you know the homie , she's got two . Well , she's got a number of podcasts , but she , she has podcasts with two co-hosts , you know , from the former Trump administration days and as well as , like the former Mueller investigation days . She does one Jack with Andrew McCabe and she also does cleanup on our 45 with Pete Strach .
You're familiar with those two individuals , correct ? You know those guys .
Sure . No I was listening and know what you're talking about .
So , pete Strach , I promised to discipline you All right , is it the ? Top . Yes , yeah , I got off on these fucking tanges today . So Pete Strach is a former FBI agent of noteworthy acclaim from his role in the investigation of the Russian illegals . You can go ahead and Google that .
That was a pretty incredible endeavor there where Russians basically embedded some foreign spies into these . They basically put them into covers in Canada and had them attempt to like use those covers to infiltrate different areas of , like , the American landscape from politics to , you know , academia and in any way .
Long story short of that Is , Pete is basically a count counterintelligence expert . You know you might know him more recently from being the guy who interviewed what's that dickhead's name ? Mike Flynn , that guy .
Oh that they can .
When he was Trump's national security advisor and basically lied about his conversations with the Russians , which a number of other people associated with Trump would eventually engage in . So yeah , that guy Pete struck . So Andrew McCabe , you might remember him from well , you know , when James Comey got the boot , somebody had to take his place .
They one keeps following up after the next . Yeah , so .
I am personally as much as I love McBabe and as hot of a dude as he is , I'm more team Pete , so I don't know how you guys feel about that . Like we put up a Twitter poll Are you team McBabe or you team Pete struck ? I don't know . Like Pete's more of my alley . He's kind of like grumpy and well , yeah , he's definitely grumpy .
It's not even kind of super grumpy . He don't take no shit . He's got like zero tolerance for stupidity . So , as you can imagine , he's very not fond of Republicans there is . So , again , it's not this thing I really wanted to talk about , but the one particular famous hearing that the House Republicans held where they aired out all this fucking text messages .
You know , like , here he is . Here's Pete struck FBI agent by a saying all this horrible stuff about Trump in the 2016 election while he was on the Russian investigation . But , like , what they failed to leave out was all the stuff he was saying about Hillary Clinton too , which was like , well , I'm not a fan of his opinion . He clearly a bias .
He hates everyone equally . Anyway , all right , yeah , just a side side tangent over , hopefully for the rest of this podcast . I'm putting tired of sleep here , if you know , it might be the Svetka . Hey look , maybe you don't need no sheets , and from sheets and giggles you can just get you some Svetka . Vaka Colin is going to kill me . Yes .
Oh , sheets and giggles there .
He's like this is not how you can afford to have sheets and giggles .
You might as well drink seven shots and pass the fuck out , yeah .
Well , you know , to each their own . I too am having a . I didn't have a dry janglery , I'll tell you that much . All right kids , so me too .
You can tell my buttocks being sucky , okay .
So Republicans in the House of Representatives , despite having a bipartisan bill presented to them by the Senate , decided to tank the bill in the House of Representatives , even though it was the bill of their dreams for all intents and purposes , intensive purposes .
So this border bill like you can get into the specifics of it If you want there was a lot of funding in there for basically what we would consider our pet pot projects on the left , you know aid for Gaza , a little bit of money for Israel , largely supporting Ukraine and defending themselves against Russia , quite a few other things , some some concessions that we
were asking Republicans to make on asylum seekers here I mean , it's a whole , whole smorgasbord of things in exchange for what I would consider to be some pretty fairly fucking extreme border prop policies , like if Republicans pass this shit , if a Republican was president and passed this bill , like they would worship him the way they worship Reagan and you can take
that as a slur if you'd like considering how terrible of a fucking president Reagan was , and like the irony of this is they've spent all these months I guess technically , carol , they've spent years , if not decades , attacking immigration at the border and now they finally have a chance to make , will get all of the things that they have on their wish list and I
like , nah , we can't do this shit because Trump don't want us to , because he wants the campaign on it . That wasn't saying it was crazy .
They can't get you done , and that's their campaign . That's the campaign slogan . Well , I mean it's basically like when , in 2020 , when Trump was , his campaign slogan was like look at Biden's America and it's like you know his country that he was still currently running .
And now he's like hey let me solve another problem I saw I created your memory is incredible ? Oh , because it reminded me of that AI video ad AI generated video ad that they created . It was like Biden's America . And then he just showed a whole bunch of images from 2020 , when Trump was president . That was insane .
It sounds like you have some pretty good memory too , but I yes , I was successfully elicited that imagery .
Oh you did , because I totally forgot about that shit . That was wild . I mean , look 2020 was correct , look 2020 , as insane as it was . Now that I think about it , it's probably not going to have anything on 2024 and and hundreds of thousands of people died . I'm sorry for laughing . Um , yeah , so I don't know , carol .
Like just these people , man , they fucking drive me insane . Like it's one thing to to pass on the border bill because you don't think it's a good politics . It's another thing to like cave to an insane person who was telling you don't pass the border bill because it's not good politics , so he can run on it in 2024 .
Like , like you can't tell me this thing is such a , such a like pertinent emergency and it needs to be solved immediately , but also we can't pass a bill to fix it . Um , vote for me in 2024 . Like what the fuck ? I don't understand .
I just again , and he's also causing the problem . So but I guess you know anyone who would vote for him wouldn't have made that connection .
I mean , well , the thing is , it's not . It's also not just that they're not passing it . Trump's out here like , yeah , blame me . And Biden is like making ads out of the shit , and he's like , okay , it is my fault , yeah .
It is Nothing at all .
It's definitely driving a wedge between Republicans in the house , because there's a lot of Republicans are like hey , you know , if you put this bill on the floor , we would pass it .
And that's exactly why Ron Johnson being a bitch and ain't putting it on the floor , because they don't want Biden to get credit for fixing the border , even though they could just do what they've been doing and like pass the bill , get what they want , but also lie and say it's not good enough . I don't know .
I just hope no Republican strategists are listening to this podcast .
They're all such fucking pussies Like . Not one of them can overcome the prisoner's dilemma , or they just don't want to .
I prefer you not to refer to them as pussies , because I eat pussy . I would never eat .
Republicans . Well , if you ate them , they'd go away and die .
I mean , I don't typically not pussies . Okay , but yeah , it's yeah , prisoner's dilemma , game theory reference .
It's like the reason why these morons can't break free of Trump is because the more of them that would band together in opposition to Republican insanity , the more it would incentivize the few to clean closer to Trump , to gain more power and therefore it would negate the actions of anyway it just yeah , it's a never ending vicious cycle of Republican stupidity over
here and on that , just to pity their coward .
Cowardice plus stupidity equals maga they're willing to see how long they can delay the long-term ramifications of their actions , versus like they're willing to ride on the , you know , the short term lie or whatever is going on for as long as they can , and that's apparently been for fucking years .
It's been longer than that , so .
I know , but I just mean like insurrection wise .
Okay , I'm glad you brought this up . We're going off on another side tangent . I'm sorry for hogging the microphone today and not shutting the fuck up , but you know , given that one of our co-hosts is asleep , one of us has to pick up the slack . So it's the idea of Republicans for going .
You know , making a decision in the present moment that would probably benefit them long term but be painful in the immediate future , it it hasn't started with . Like this , like there are so many points in which Republicans could have gotten rid of Trump and they would be on track to possibly compete in the 2024 election , if not win .
And like you know again , the one that obviously comes to mind is , you know , january , february of 2021 , after the insurrection , they had the opportunity to just have ten senators draw straws and Enjoying the rest of the Senate and impeaching Trump and forbidding him from ever holding office again . Like that probably would have been the easiest way to do it .
Yeah , you got a handful of Republican senators who , upon the next GOP election when they were , you know , on the ballot get voted out of office . You probably never , you know , do anything in politics again .
But hey , you know , all your conservative donor friends Pitch together , get them a fucking job where they don't get to do any work and they just get to collect a paycheck and move off into a relevance . I'll be it , you know , well , compensated .
A relevance , that's that's probably if they could have had any foresight . That seems a lot better than what they're dealing with .
Right . But that wasn't , that wasn't their only opportunity . Like they had a note . Like , just when Trump lost the election in November 2020 , they could have been like all right , it's over .
Instead , like he let them , they , they banded together to feed the public the lie that he somehow had the election stolen from him , even though , like , the only people who stole the 2020 election from him were the voters . Right , but that's not like the only opportunity they had .
They had an opportunity in his first impeachment , when he tried to use the powers of the office of the president to blackmail the , the president of Ukraine , into opening a bogus Investigation into Hunter Biden and this was before Biden was even the nominee . Like they had the opportunity to get him up out of the fucking office then .
Then they could have been like , all right , we were done with this dude , let's get Mike Pence in here . Like we're all rally behind Mike Pence , who have some credibility from being the president . It will put him on the 2020 ballot , like you know again , like the power of incumbency , he probably would have won , especially given it .
Like the pandemic would have still happened , but Mike Pence would have managed it slightly less Incompetently before that , obviously , they had every opportunity , like , say , with the Mueller report , when that thing dropped , instead of having bill bar come out here and tell these fucking lies that it was a complete and total of these generations and strut one getting
indicted , which was a total spin . Because anyone who's read the report , the Mueller report , it's like , oh , it was all kind of fucking crimes in here . And not to mention that they was hanging around more Russians than we had ever thought was possible .
Things just littered with fucking potential Russian agents , and not to mention , like the multiple obstruction crimes and volume to like they could have rallied behind getting rid of his ass .
Then , I mean , go , even go back even further , like the second , it comes out that Trump Jr Is meeting with the Russians in Trump Tower to get dirt was to get dirt on Hillary Clinton in 2016 before the election . Like that might have been a good opportunity to be like , hey man , let's just get rid of this dude , like he's bad news .
But no , they've decided that in the you know in , in the immediate moment , it was far worse for them politically to like Tie themselves to this dude or I mean , I guess in these particular instances , prop him up in such a way that when he eventually falls down and drags them with him .
But yeah , they decided , like all these people were able to fall for it and I think it it's exactly the kind of crisis of masculinity that these same people Talk about , except that they have no idea what they're talking about .
These people are are raised to be fucking stupid and short-sighted . I'm not not have empathy for sight Just any of the things that make you a functional human being was I talking about ? I think you were talking about them like accusing , was it Netflix ? And making Alexander the great gay .
No .
Yes , that's exactly what I said . Sure , you know what .
I don't even remember . The observation of me I'm a genius .
I wonder you have me on the show .
Totally off-siving again . So , there's some account on on the Twitter .
Twix is . I like to refer to it internally . That's like a , the combination of Twitter plus X . You get Twix . And then , of course , like cuz you know we're not Republicans were left Twix . Anyway , that was a very lame candy joke observation . I , yeah , there was this account . I don't know , I can't remember .
My maybe was lives at six , I don't know , is one of those Libs of tick tock level Twitter accounts . It was out here , like you know .
Try to watch the document or the I guess it's a docu series or documentary about Alexander the great , and eight minutes in Netflix made him gay and I'm like , clearly , clearly you need to crack open history book or like Even just Wikipedia , because I mean , it's well known . First of all , I don't understand , like , what the Greeks was doing .
Way back in the day they were a lot more sexually open than than we are currently . But , yeah , alexander the great , well-known bisexual , probably like dudes , a little bit more than then . Then the ladies , oh , that's most bisexual men .
No , I'm just kidding , I don't know . Most bisexual men . Yeah , I don't know , I have not asked them .
Yeah , I don't have enough input on that from personal experience to Lean one way or the other In that regard .
I'm sorry guys . I made a strong drink and now being a dick , yeah , I always say people should use rose excuses .
Well , if , you if you're being a dick , alexander the great would suck you .
