I’m starting to this this podcast is the single most relevant and important podcast to listen to. All of this is true. Not rage, but facts. And it’s a good thing.
Chamath Palihapitiya admits his blind spot on America's broken two-tier economy PALIHAPITIYA: "I got it totally totally totally wrong. I got it totally wong." "I'll go through all the ways in which I got it wrong, but I just want to first acknowledge what my blind spot is. Like most people's blind spots, but I can just speak for myself, it is through the lens of my own lived experience and very narrowly what is in my best interests. And I think what we had was a move away from the culture wars that was very much in my best interest, but I think it was in everybody else's best interests as well. I don't think that was on the ballot. But what I don't think I understood clearly enough, and I think that this election has made extremely clear, is that since COVID, we have moved past political ideology. And I want to say this again: I do not think Democrats or Republicans matter. That is my real takeaway after this election. There is a central block of people that vote the prescient issues of our time." "It was a gargantuan win for Biden, then it was a gargantuan win for Trump, and then it was a gargantuan win for the Democrats in these midterms. What are these people voting for? I think what they are shouting now—they were trying to signal and now they are shouting—is a broad-based belief that the economy has completely decoupled from reality and is broken. The economic reality in America is broken." "There is a small percentage of people, the four of us on this pod and all of our friends, who are the asset owners of America. And we have benefited in every weather condition. When rates were zero, we benefited because we were able to build our businesses with very cheap capital. When rates were high, we benefited because we had pricing power. And in every condition in between, whether there were tariffs, whether there were not tariffs, whether there were subsidies, whether there were not subsidies, we've all managed to continue to accumulate and grow assets, but we are few and far between." "And then there's everybody else who are wage earners, and the structural capacity of the American economy to support and grow wage earners is broken. It's clear. Why do I say that? I do not think, and I disagree with Freeberg, I don't think this has anything to do with socialism. I don't think the far left won particularly more than they were expected. I don't think the far right won particularly more than was expected. This is a complete and total repudiation about the state of the economy. The economy is broken. I have a few charts to support my point of view. Number one, if this was ideological and if ideology mattered, money in politics would have had a more direct impact on the election."

@chewy is a sponsor of this show. Autoship cancelled. Account closed.
Left-Wing witch Jennifer Welch, who has previously mocked Charlie Kirk’s death, is once again laughing on air about the thought of “digging up” Charlie’s body and “doing it again” This is who they are. They want you dead. Soulless. Depraved. Pure evil.

A lot of this makes sense. Will they do it? I have my doubts.

Theres a part of me that thinks Republicans gambled the war in Iran for peace / energy / AI reasons, knowing it could cost them the midterms. And they were ok with that knowing the Dems would spend the next two years reminding us who they are, leading to a sweep in 2028. Maybe.
Stephen A. Smith GUARANTEES that if Democrats win the House and go after Trump again, they will FORFEIT the White House in 2028. SMITH: "You really think America wants that NONSENSE again?!" “If the Democrats pursue impeachment against Trump, I’m GUARANTEEING that a Republican will win the presidency in 2028. You can BOOK IT!" Smith looks at the Democrat field. Then he looks at Marco Rubio, who he calls “smart as a whip.” His verdict: it doesn’t end well for Democrats. SMITH: “The person that I believe is the real deal and somebody that the Democrats are going to have a tough time reckoning with, and that is Marco Rubio." “Imagine, ladies and gentlemen, that instead of having a wildcard president who says what he wants and does what he wants... instead you’re dealing with a candidate who’s bilingual, highly intelligent, very accomplished, very knowledgeable about the issues, who’s younger, far more articulate, and ready to take on Democrats at the drop of a hat because he’s been doing it his entire career.” “I believe he’s going to be the Republican nominee for the presidency of the United States, and I ain’t gonna front: I ain’t seen a Democrat that can beat him yet." Stephen A. Smith has voted Republican only once in his entire life (Chris Christie). When even he looks at Marco Rubio and thinks that’s way better than anything Democrats have, you know they’re in serious trouble.

Hypocrisy. When will we elect serious and honest people?
This is Peek hypocrisy from Elizabeth Warren. Warren rants about Republicans being funded by billionaires. She’s then asked about Troy Jackson taking donations from 4 billionaires after claiming he’s taken no money from billionaires. “Really? That’s where gonna make the focus”

Please watch this. Government makes things worse.

The bar for elected public servant sinks lower and lower until it includes everyone… Completely ignorant. And drunk. And half the voters will vote for her.
This is NOT a skit. Jaime West, a Democrat running for Fayette County Council in Indiana, gave an EMBARRASSING interview where she appears to mumble and rant the entire time. Is she intoxicated?

I think it's important to remember President Biden put 40,000 troops on the ground in the Middle East to stop Iran. 40,000 lives at risk. Iran was the biggest threat. Now they're flattened. But somehow this is a "forever war" with no stated objective.
During the VP debate in 2024, Margaret Brennan stated as fact that Iran was less than two weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon. Immediately after we bombed Iran's nuclear facilities in 2025, Brennan began arguing that Iran was not close to developing a nuclear weapon. Completely different positions based off of completely different info, all because the Trump Admin did something and her job is to be adversarial and oppose everything they do.

I want you all to realize, tens of millions of people voted for her. For President. Of this country. Voted for her.

We better start being honest with ourselves and finding middle ground. This graph sums it up. We’re done for if it doesn’t change.

Amazing breakdown, Jesse. Your party is eating itself, Dems.

Again, common sense. No party. Just common sense. Why can’t we do this more often?
Michigan voters please pay attention
