It's just another level of cynicism on that point is that they just want to go back to their

base and say, well, I tried this, even though we kind of know it's never going to work.

So I find this whole thing a little frustrating because it takes away from like genuine conversation,

like what we're having right now about how we could actually reform things in a practical matter

here.

It's just more

political gridlock.

Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for politically eclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta. And I'm

Ricky Schlaught. Ricky, well, I'm hailing from the free state of Florida.

Unexpected trip here. I was supposed to go through Texas to get to California. But there was some

weather. So I'm just soaking up all the freedom over here. How goes in your life? I'm very jealous.

I'm weathering away in an authoritarian city over here in New York City, but that's okay.

So I have a question for you. If you had to pick a completely apolitical celebrity to be

president for the next four years, you just get to nominate them. Who would it be? A political.

Completely non-political celebrity figure that you just, just for fun.

Oh, because I would have picked Schwarzenegger or somebody like that who's done, you know, at least some executive experience.

No, no, no, this has got to be like a left field person that you just feel like it'd be interesting.

I think Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills.

Yeah, he's just an every man, you know. And I think our stadium, if you were president, you know, that boondoggle of his stadium, it wouldn't be just a few billion dollars. I think we can get like a $500 billion stadium for Western New York, which is my top priority. How about you? I feel like I'd love to see what would happen of Gwyneth Paltrow was president for four years. I think it'd be really entertaining and super fun. I'm game for it. If we're talking about globalist elites, I think it doesn't get much more elite than her. Have you ever been to that goop store in that? I have been on the street from our office. Yeah. There's one down in by her office. I didn't know that. What is Goop? Well, and Bond is what I meant bond. It's her initials. Oh. But what is it? It's kind of clever. I don't know. It's super weird. It's like all this stuff that she likes, including like a candle that smells like her lady parts or something bizarre like that.

Yeah.

Or something.

There's something.
