All right, he had a look at everyone and welcome to it. It is the Darecender podcast, the 25th of May, 2023. Happy Thursday. Happy day after Ron DeSantis announced and Donald Trump had a meltdown on True Social Day.

I'm only kidding. No, I'm not. Yeah, there's a lot going on. First, let me tell you about the Curse Show Patreon.com slash Darecender podcast or Darecender.locals.com. There's bonus content. There's kid content. There's all sorts of stuff I throw up there. And I throw up when I'm there sometimes. Check it out. Five bucks a month to support the program is all we ask. That's not too much. Is it? Plus, you win autographed books all the time. This week, it's a battle between Grand Kill Mead.

And Luke Rosiac. So somebody's going to win an autograph book by one of those dudes. Why not you? Okay. The big news, of course, is right now, as I'm speaking to you, as I'm recording this, Ron DeSantis is having his Twitter spaces, thingamababi with Elon Musk announcing that he is running for president. And you got to love these people who are out there. Everybody has their own little thing that the late

eighties. I'm sorry, real women, but the people on the view who probably don't use urinals. I can't vouch for that. But, uh, well, you know, I'd like to retract that previous statement, because if I had to bet two-third, two-two-fifths, two-fifths to three-fifths of those ladies at least, I would suspect have never mind. Anyway, the, uh, the ladies on the view are like, oh, it's so me. Why does he do it on social media?

The left-wing reporters and bloggers and everything for the Atlantic are going, oh, of course, he's going to do it on Twitter, because Elon Musk has turned it into a cesspool of hatred and bigotry. Vanity Fair, their headline report, colon, Ron DeSantis will formally announce his 2024 bid with Elon Musk, because apparently David Duke wasn't available.

You see, because everybody who isn't a rabid left-winger who non-stop judges people by their color of their skin is a racist somehow. I don't know how you square that circle, but hey, you know, what are you going to do? God, people are so stupid. That's Vanity Fair. Vanity Fair really wrote that piece. They did. They decided that was going to be a headline there. And you're like, uh, that doesn't compute. That doesn't make any sense. It doesn't matter if it doesn't make any sense.

They hate Ron DeSantis. They hate Donald Trump. They hate whatever. Everybody kind of thought Donald Trump broke these people. No, Donald Trump was the last straw. It was the straw that broke the camel's back. There were thousands and hundreds of thousands and millions of other straws already on that poor, sweet, sweet, nourishing camel's back. It was just Trump was the one who broke it. The little Bill crystals of the world running around, dining out on his daddies.

He just was broken by all of it. Donald Trump was the last one. Donald Trump was the convenient foil at the time, but you got to move on. Look, once you monetize outrage, you need to keep manufacturing outrage. If Donald Trump didn't exist anymore, the left would have to invent him. And if Donald Trump didn't win or doesn't win the Republican nomination, the left is positioning the right-winger.

The left is positioning themselves and the grifter right is positioning themselves to be ready to trumpize anybody and everybody who is out there because they're the problem. They're the problem. It's he's worse than Donald Trump. So we should vote for Donald Trump. No, no, no, no. Donald Trump is worse than Donald Trump too.

Okay, so then we should entertain a Tim Scott candidate. No, no, no. He's worse than worse than worse than Donald Trump because he's also worse than Clarence Thomas. One of the funniest things that I've seen perhaps in my entire life is that old bag joy, Bayhara. She's just joyless. It's not an empty bag. She's full of feces, the kind of bag that you know, you sit on somebody's porch and sit light on fire and knock on the door and run away.

That's what Joy Bayhara is made out of. When she's trying to explain how Tim Scott and Clarence Thomas don't get what black people have gone through in this country. She does. She's misblack people somehow. Just, and whoopi's sitting there, I have to assume whoopi is choking down vomit.

Sonny Houston is actually, well, if she were smarter, she'd be dangerous, but she, she's like sitting there going, what joy are you stealing my bag? Are you stealing my job? Are you stealing my position? This is my stick. Don't do my stick. Do your stick.

It's, that's the world we live in nowadays. It's the world we've created. It's unbelievable to sit there and watch these people. These leftists insist that they know what's best for other people, who they have no relationship to. They have no relationship with. There's nothing. They bring nothing to the table of their own. They bring nothing to the table with an intellectual point of view from a curiosity perspective.

They bring no solutions. They don't debate any longer. You watch these people arguing, talking about the debt ceiling. All the Republicans are holding everybody hostage. It's their holding the country hostage. Can you believe that these evil, evil Republicans are holding the country hostage? Why would they do such a thing? Do they not love this country? What's the matter with them?

And then somebody points out something pretty basic. Well, first of all, Republicans have already passed a debt ceiling increase. It's done. The Senate is on vacation. The Senate is not in session. You watch all of these little makeshift press conferences in the hallway of the United States Capitol. One thing you'll notice is it's all people from the house.

Kevin McCarthy standing in the hallway surrounded by reporters. Where's the where's Chuck Schumer? Where is Chuck Schumer? Where's any of the where's Senator Federman? Where is it? Where's Senator Feinstein? They want to get rid of Feinstein. But where is she? Is she back in California already? Where are any of the Democratic leaders? Where's Dick Durbin? The most appropriately named man in the United States Senate, Dick Durbin? Where is he?

He's the majority whip. Should he not be out there trying to negotiate some kind of deal? It seems to me to be odd. Chuck Schumer should have the Senate at the ready. That'd be really annoying, especially when it's coming up time to have a little three day weekend, you know. You can tell how deadly serious this issue is by the way that nobody is altering their plans at least as of now for a three day weekend.

Not one single person is interested in altering their plans. We're a three day weekend. Because why? Because it's so important. My God, the entire democracy is under threat by those evil Republicans. Also, what are you doing this weekend? Joe? Joe Biden is going to camp David tomorrow. And then Joe Biden is going to Delaware because, you know, you don't want to miss Memorial Day weekend.

And it rohobeth beach. It's lovely. If you're into world-class hair sniffing, it's going to be very crowded at the ice cream stand. Joe is going to be able to shove his schnauz into a lot of craniums over the weekend. But it's so damned important, I thought. I thought it was so important that we're going to default. Of course, the only way we default is if Joe Biden and Janet Yellen actively decide to default, even if just as an aside, before I get to the audio.

Even if the United States does not raise the debt limit, there is still more than enough money coming into the federal government record amount of money, by the way, our money coming into the federal government already that they would be able to easily pay the service on the debt, the debt payments.

That would be basic and easy to do for a very, very long time. We're dealing with gargantuan sums of money.

They would maybe have to, I don't know, lay some people off, postpone, delay some people's pay, or what have you, or maybe look at the department of insignificance and their bloated budget and say, hey, maybe we don't need a department of insignificance while they did this.
