“They need a lot of space. And so they would go to Europe multiple times a year. My dad lived over there a lot of the time. They were from Dallas. Both came from working class middle class families, entrepreneurs, and they became very successful. We became an upper middle class family. But moving wasn't ever in the cards for them.”

“Well, I mean, my dad had business there and my mother is not super social. Her best friend is cuddled up with a book. My dad does a lot of business in Belgium and Holland. He flies racing pigeons, which is kind of an old, old sport, but it's very, very popular in Belgium and Holland. Very, very popular. And my dad was the world's largest seller and breeder of racing pigeons. So he needed to live on a lot of land. Because he didn't want you, couldn't have neighbors.”

“It wasn't real. So then she started taking the bus to the library when she was a teenager and just reading about religion and all of this stuff. And she at a very young age became an atheist and never bought into any of it. Growing up in my house, because when you live in the Bible belt and your peers are evangelical Christians, their number one goal is not helping the poor, not helping the sick. It is to recruit you. It is to proly. So it was really difficult for me sometimes as a teenager because all of my friends were really, really, really religious. And I'm talking like spiritual warfare. I would go to slumber parties and a girl that I was at the slumber party would say, I can feel the presence of a demon in the corner of the room.”

“So, my mother, born in Dallas, Texas, and she had a very mentally ill mother, probably borderline personality disorder. And her mother was really cruel to her. And my mother was around seven years old, and she lost this little purse. And she lost it at church. And my mother just prayed and prayed and prayed. God, please help me find this purse. You know how mean she's going to be to me. This is going to be terrible. This is going to be terrible. This is going to be terrible. Lo and behold, her prayers went unanswered and she never found the purse. She paid for it for years because her mother would be the type of person that would bring it up over and over and over and just browbeat her for it. And at her young age in that kind of Dallas, evangelical Christian world, she just sniffed it out.”

“Yeah, so I was always the skunk at the garden party and the Bible belt. I was raised by atheists. My mother is a voracious reader learner. We always had the most stimulating conversations.”

“Have. They are who we have. And so I'm cheering for them to succeed. So if they can clean up their kind of embarrassing cringy posts and become more relatable, I'm going to cheerlead for them, but I'm also not going to be a sycophant for them and just go along with, boy, they wrote a strongly worded letter. Go get them chuckles.”

“Pete Buttigedge, who is a gifted order, kind of faced plants on Pod Save. And Corey Booker faced planted on our podcast, and it went completely viral. And so I think that, again, it goes back to when you're beholden to very few this is a very transparent media platform. You get exposed very quickly if you start BSing. The bullshit meter is instantly detectable. And so I think it's good that the ones that are getting it wrong right now, come on, see what the base is saying. Quit focus grouping. Get yourself out into the American public and see how it goes and change and evolve. And as a base, we have to be somewhat forgiving if they misstep and come back and clean up because as much as Chuckles and Hakeem drive me crazy, they are the leaders that we have.”

“So I asked him, What have you had it with? And he said he'd had it with corporate pack donations. And I said, well, don't you take money from APAC? And then the defenses started coming up. I asked him a very simple yes or no question. Do you think Benjamin Netanyahu's a war criminal? And the answer to that question is yes. And he couldn't answer it. He kept going on and on and on. And we kind of got into it. And there are, if you think about it, there's been three missteps from establishment Democrats on podcasts surrounding this issue. Gavin Newsom was asked about APAC, and he says the word interesting, interesting, interesting nine times, you counted out.”

“Yeah, I've experienced the same thing. When I start, when we have a politician on and I get an email from one of their aides that once the talking points, like this is not going to be that great of a guest because you need to be able to come in and have a conversation with our audience open to anything, just like you and I, we don't have talking points before I came on here. I don't know what you're going to ask me. And that's what Garner's trust for you with your audience and for my audience that comes over here to be introduced to you if they don't know you yet, which I can't imagine they wouldn't, but they need to liberate themselves. And I think it goes like this.”

“Yeah, and now you see that the Trump oligarch friends, billionaire buddies are buying up all of the mainstream media and we're the left out ones now. And so I'm so happy to collaborate with any podcaster pro-democracy person on the left because I see us all as allies that are messaging to a part of the electorate that is hurting, that feels targeted, that is grieving what they thought the promise of America is, not to mention the financial anxiety that so many Americans are struggling from. And I see, and you probably see this with your audience, we're building communities. And it's so important to feel connected when you see so much injustice.”

“Yeah, I agree. And I think it's a great way for Democrats to evolve. And if they missed up to be able to embrace, yeah, I was on there. We were spitballing. What I really mean is this. And look at how the Republicans slash MAGA movement have evolved in that regard. Look at how far they've moved in that regard. And when I think about back in the day, it was the appearance that the liberals controlled all of the news. So the Wright built this massive media ecosystem”

“Right, and people want to know the people that deliver their news. They want to know something about me personally. They want to know something about you personally. With these phones, we've gotten a little nosier. And the same goes for politicians. We want to see them off the cuff. If they missed up, no big deal. And so some politicians are great. They come on. I've noticed the politicians like an example Rokana. He doesn't take any corporate pack money. He'll come on anytime. We don't have to have a, you know, what are we going to talk about beforehand? He's just completely liberalized.”

“The point is powerful, yes. I do think that Democrats have establishment Democrats have the appearance right now of being a conservative party because they are preserving old tactics that they've used forever. Focus groups, disciplined messaging, word salad, platitudes, and corporate media allows them to go on and non-answer things. And then they go to the next question and the next question. And they're not evolutionary in following the changing media landscape.”

“As you start seeing what's happening politically, I've always been a diehard political junkie and rather outspoken about it. And I can't help but for these opinions to come out of me. And so I thought maybe it would be kind of a niche political thing, not that I would we would have this type of platform.”

“To condemn socialism, just the bullshit performative stuff that they do in Congress that nobody gives a shit about. And Hakeem is doing that and he's constantly falling into their traps, the Republicans, and he gets outflanked all the time. And this time, he gets outflanked by a fascist who Zoron put on”

“The Democrats have got to watch Rokana. He is outflanking every single one of them all the time. He's everywhere. He's on podcast. He's on the news. We need our democratic establishment to quit focusing on focus groups. It's not focus groups anymore. That is an old, antiquated way of learning about people. You can learn about people by simply listening to podcasts, looking at comments. And the Democrats are going to have to embrace every single Democratic candidate that wins, whether it's a centrist in Virginia or a Democratic socialist in New York. But you know what's interesting. This tells you how bad Hakeem Jeffrey's political instincts are. While Trump is crispy, cream, glazing Zoron in the oval, Hakeem is voting.”

“Suicide watch, full-blown suicide watch because this is the remedy. Multiculturalism embrace different faiths. He embraced Zoron in such a loving, adoring way. This is the remedy to all of the white supremacy in which Stephen Miller views his plans for the United States.”

“I'm sure Stephen Miller had some physician on speed dial immediately. I mean, because you picture ketchup being thrown when bad things happen at the White House. And I thought about Stephen Miller just, I mean, just the first thing you texted me.”

“I don't think you heard Fox News when they were giddy. They went back that one, I can't remember the guy's name, but he's the one who suggested we should euthanize killmead. We should euthanize homeless people. After he sees it, it clicks to him and he's giddy and he's giggling. He said, well, JD Vance probably sure is so jealous. Even Fox is throwing little Smokey under the bus, Kara.”

“Somebody put on Twitter yesterday. I haven't seen Trump this happy since the McDonald's buffet at the White House and it was a picture of Trump in front of all the McDonald's buffet care and he's like grinning ear to ear, but the photo of him looking up adoringly at Zoron.”

“It was wild. I don't know if Trump is calculating somehow legacy stuff. I mean, he's a lame duck. You know, and I go both ways. Dictators think they're going to cling on to power forever and they never see them ever leaving, nor is there any plan. There's no succession plan or is he kind of colluding with, not colluding that Zoron is participating in, but optically saying, okay, you know, there's room in America for all of these places. But as it pertains to the people, Moses Mike Grinder Johnson, Little Smokey, the ones that are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic with Kanks, Kara. These people's careers will be over. I just do not see that there is oxygen. We're 10, 11 months in to this shit show”

“No, okay. All right. If I were advising her, I would tell her to move quickly and have a book that took accountability for everything. Think about Barack Obama. Yes, I did cocaine. Yes, I smoked marijuana. He got ahead of it. So, a book where she basically deprograms herself. She can have a ghostwriter write it while she stays in media. I agree with you. She needs to be ubiquitous on podcasts, on cable news. And suburban America, who their only piece of culture are their churches. And offer them an off ramp that we can still be compassionate and we got sucked into this cold and we were lied to by Trump. But our party is still here and our values are still here and we get to still hate immigrants together, but just more compassionately. Kind of like a George W. Bush compassionate conservatism thing.”

“Don't you think it's wild, Kara, that she ascended because she was a QA on her? Because she was against the elite cabal of pedophiles. And then she gets inside the Death Star. And she finds out the elite cabal of pedophiles are the people that she campaigned for.”

“Yeah, I think she continues the rebrand because she has quite a bit to do. And I anticipate that she is going to offer an off-ramp to Republican voters who felt betrayed by Trump, who are in financial ruins, but still package it up with, we're nicer, but we still hate trans people. Still America first. We still need to deport immigrant children. And Republicans are comfortable in that zone. Comfortable where you can give them a little bit of compassion with a little bit of bigotry.”

“I've long thought that she was going to run for higher office. And I don't think it's Senate. I think it's president. And you just told me something I hadn't heard. I heard it for the first time just now, that Steve Bannon, that quote that he just said about That Congress isn't big enough for her ambitions. And when I saw Marjorie with Steve Bannon, I thought to myself, Steve Bannon was the brains, the Carl Rove, if you will, behind Kanks's ascension and the Steve Bannon loves populism. He loves conspiracy theories. And Marjorie Taylor Green is playing that playbook perfectly right now.”

“My first initial thought was it reminded me totally of Sarah Palin when Sarah Palin was the vice presidential candidate with John McCain and she was, you know, in the lower 48 and it's all glam and glitz and she does all these media tours. And then she goes back to Alaska and then she resigns. And so Marjorie just did this huge press blitz. And now she's going back to Congress. It's interesting. I think the lesson that the Democrats messaging wise can take from this is the left has hated Marjorie Taylor Green ever since she started running, ever since she bullied David Hogg.”

“I completely agree. I think that Zoran Momdani's race was the canary in the coal mine. Can the people stand up against big money? And there's the richest city in the world, the richest people in the world colluded together to try to get this man to not win. And he didn't just win. He kicked their asses. And his affordability message is so on point right now. Not last night's Bill Maher, but the one before last Friday. He tried to do a joke about Zoran Momdani being the face of the Democratic Party. Crickets in the audience. He's popular. His policies are very, very popular. And I do think that Kanks shine in that little penny and trying to get some of that glow on him might help him a bit with independence.”

“I bet Stephen and Katie Miller are on full blown suicide watch. I bet Christy Noam just doesn't know what to do. I bet it is jealous, party of one. Your table is now available for our little smoky eye sociopath, JD Vance. He disrupted the entire thing, both the establishment Democrats, Elise Stefonics bid for governor, the ADL's complaint about Zoron Momdani, which is rooted in Islamophobia. It's just, it was wild. I couldn't believe it.”

“100%. I think that Zoran Momdani got the psychological file on Kanks, and it is go in and flatter him. And I bet that Zoran went in and said, we have a lot of things in common. There are people that wore shirts that said MAGA for Mom Dani, people that voted for you voted for me. We both love New York. We're both from Queens. And you helped build New York to what it is and I want to make it more affordable for everyone. That's why people voted for you. And I interviewed Zoron during the campaign in person in New York. He has megawatt charisma personality. It's intoxicating and his decency and his goodness radiates off of him. I mean, a once in a generation type candidate.”

“My first reaction is that Trump has always been a disruptor first and foremost. And the Republican midterm strategy was Zoran Momdani is a terrorist jihadist and he's going to be the face of the Democratic Party. And secondly, Trump likes winners. He likes people that win. And he was able to see the political optics of a man who consistently beat the establishment, consistently beat the millionaire and billionaire class. And his political instincts to ride those coattails were sharper than chuckles and hakeems.”
