0:00.0	Good evening and welcome to this episode of the Mary Trump Show. I am ecstatic to have
0:18.4	as my guest tonight, Judy Gold, writer, comedian, actor, host of the podcast, Kill Me Now,
0:25.0	author of Yes, I Can Say That. When they come for the comedians, we are all in trouble. And
0:30.8	luckily for me, my friend, Judy, that I have a short list of people I want to scream into the void
0:39.9	with. And you are at the top of it. How are you doing? Oh, Marilla. Thank you. And I
0:47.5	say same. I have to say ditto. I'm good, but I'm so angry. I, you know, I was just talking to
0:56.8	someone the other day. Yeah, I was talking to my writing partner and we were saying, I never knew
1:03.7	that I, and I'm so mad that I have this vitriol and hate that I never knew I had. And it's
1:13.6	constantly, it's like, who am I? How is it that other people are not as enraged and shocked and
1:26.8	and just I don't know. It's physically, it's unbearable sometimes. It is and it's a new phenomenon

1:43.7	imposed upon us, forced upon us because there's no other, well, there probably are other saying
1:51.9	and much healthier reactions. But I, you know, I am not a zen practice. I don't know how you don't
2:03.8	be angry. I mean, case in point, what happened in Wyoming last night makes me angry for some
2:11.1	reasons I wasn't anticipating. Why? And I'm angry that people are calling Liz Chady a fucking hero,
2:17.0	simply because she's standing up for democracy. Right. Right. It's her fucking job.
2:22.5	You know, but I'm also angry that she lost by 30 points. One giving Donald a win, which makes me
2:32.0	crazy. Any moment he's not miserable makes me crazy. And two to this, you know, election,
2:38.4	denying big lie, pro January six and direction idiot. And three because I'm reminded that nobody
2:47.7	lives in Wyoming and yet that what it is at like 540,000 people have two senators just like the
2:55.7	they're being. Oh my god. I said, I said that last night. I'm like, how many people even, I was
3:03.6	looking at the numbers of people who voted. I'm like, how did they have equal representation? How?
