0:00.0 | Hi. It's the day after the election and I am in the exact same place that you are right now. |
0:08.8 | I am busily working through all of my emotions and seeking paths forward ways that we can cope, |
0:18.2 | ways that we can deal with this utter fucking disaster, rays of sunshine |
0:23.8 | in and amongst the emerging gloom of fascist authoritarianism brought about by way too |
0:31.0 | many voters with, and we're going to talk about this, I'm sure, with some hinky results in there as well. |
0:39.1 | One thing I added toward the end of my conversation with Buzz after we had finished recording |

1:45.6 | He won't be able to deal with them. Yes, he's going to try all the worst things that we've talked |
1:49.9 | about here on this show. That is absolutely something that we can expect. And we will take them as they |

2:03.8 | And that certainly happened with George W. Bush. |
2:06.2 | Right out of the shoot, his vice president shot a guy in the face. |
