Summary

The boys gather to talk about the white supremacist rhetoric from Trump and other conservatives against Somali immigrants in Minnesota, honing in on a few fraud schemes to demonize the entire group. In other, also awful, news, CNN announced a partnership with the prediction market Kalshi to bring real-time betting odds into their reporting. From casual war profiteering to promoting destructive gambling addictions, what could go wrong with this partnership? Lastly, the boys denounce Netflix's acquisition of Warner Bros. and Fulnecky's growing celebrity.

These kids are just lost.

0:54.5

These kids, yeah, the kids these days? The TikTok scrolling on the TikTok letting it rot their brain. Absolutely melting their brain. They just don't know what they're talking about. They get all of their news from social media and suddenly they hate all my favorite countries overseas. I know it's ridiculous. All these influencers that get on and they buy their microphones. They start their podcast and they post these clips hating on my favorite countries overseas and now the kids don't like them. My favorite countries, which I have a personal and ideological interest in preserving. For like whatever fucking reason. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And if you don't know what we're talking about, is Hillary Clinton at some conference she was at. And I can't believe I forgot to include this last week because it was all over my feed, but like Pete Hegseth being a war criminal just like took prominence over everything else. And today we will be talking a little bit later on, mostly about Trump being a fucking psychopath. Yeah. That is the story this week, hating on immigrants, hating on Somalis. And also just like capitalism doing capital things with Kalshi, CNN and whatnot.

0:57.9

And we will be talking about that, but I do want to start off hating on a Democrat.

0:59.7

We don't get to hate on Democrats enough.

1:00.2

We don't.

1:02.7

We do it whenever we can.

1:08.8

And honestly, they just put themselves out there in a way that nobody else will.

1:12.8

They have a unique ability to just seize the moment in the wrong way.

1:13.1

Yeah.

1:17.1

They have this unique ability to just always say the wrong thing.

1:17.6

Yeah.

1:19.9

And that's another example of this with Hillary Clinton.

1:25.4

And I think, you know, there's this thing that happens after Democrats mostly, but really anybody happened to Dick Cheney too.

1:26.7

After these like horrible people leave public life for a little bit, their image gets massaged.

1:32.1

And suddenly we look back at them with sort of rose-colored lenses.

1:35.0

And I think that's happened with Hillary Clinton to some degree.

1:37.6

To an extent I get it because like Trump has made everything awful and she was the alternative and probably should have won in 2016.

1:43.5

But she didn't.

1:44.7

And now we look back and think that like, oh, she must be good, at least by comparison. And then we get shit like this and it's like, yeah, she's just easy. Stark reminder that even though yes, she still would have been better than Donald Trump, she still sucks. Yeah. So I got this clip here from Hillary Clinton. And there's a cut in the middle because she's at this conference,

2:01.4

yammering on about young people.

2:03.3

And she goes on for a while. So I got this clip here from Hillary Clinton. There's a cut in the middle because she's at this conference,

2:17.4

yammering on about young people. And she goes on for a while. So there's a cut in the middle. But it's just, it's excellent. It's on the same vibe as Sarah Horowitz.
