Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the interesting approach by man Democrats to "get along" with the Trump administration in some twisted logic that it'll help them get their policies enacted. Elizabeth Warren has been active trying to keep progressivism alive in her party, even parterning up with none other than Josh Hawley to break up health care monopolies (wut). Trump then announces the US Government is officially for sale to the not-so-highest bidder and they finish on the Hawk Tuah financial scandal.

0:00.0	I just opened up that beverage, Nick. I'm afraid it's going to freeze. I'm so cold. I'm Jared J. Sexton. I'm with Nick Hausman. How you doing, bud? I'm good. I'm sorry that you have to bear through the elements while we record, but hopefully Mike won't freeze up while we're recording us. Ten years in Georgia, my friend, it took away my Midwestern cold callus, which I think is something
0:23.0	that you can relate to.
0:24.9	Oh, I lost that callus within about three weeks of moving to Los Angeles.
0:29.0	Well, I hope wherever people are listening to this, that they are warm and cared for and feeling
0:33.6	good.
0:34.4	A reminder, you can get the full weekend or episode over at patreon.com slash my Greg podcast. Support independent journalism that has actual views. We all know
0:42.2	corporate media is full of shit. Come on over to the good side. You get the weekend or you get to
0:45.8	join the community and you support independent actual news. Nick, we have to start, unfortunately,
0:52.9	with Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal,
0:56.3	who is trying to push what's called the Kids Online Safety Act, which we will get into a little bit in just a moment.
1:04.9	But Blumenthal is taking a really interesting tact, trying to get this piece of legislation passed. This is one of, I don't know,
1:13.5	two or three or four appeals that he has made in the last couple of days. And just be prepared.
1:18.6	This is Democrat, Senator Richard Blumenthal.
1:22.3	That this bill fully supports free expression and the First Amendment. Elon Musk is the champion among
1:31.2	big tech executives of First Amendment values and principles. And what we have done in some of our
1:36.9	changes is to make clear that there's no effect of censorship. And the opposition from big tech spending millions of dollars on lobbyists and lawyers is simply the result of their desire to continue to profit by driving toxic content at kids.
1:55.3	Your concern as a parent, my concern is mirrored by countless parents across the country, a diverse coalition that enabled us to win in the United States Senate, 91 to 3.
2:08.6	I hope we'll give it a vote in the House. It will pass overwhelming.
2:12.3	Nick, this was this was done in the Capitol, but i i can't help but hearing this think about
2:18.8	blumenthal going to a largely ornate court with thrones and gestures and all of the the
2:26.6	accoutrement of court life begging for one of the lords or barons to hear his plea.
2:35.2	Well, by the way, occasionally,
