I do think people will be motivated to go to the polls and they will all have their own reasons for voting the way that they do. He hasn't kept any of his promises. In fact, he's broken his promises. Everything is going in the wrong direction. The economy is going in the wrong direction, that war is going in the wrong direction. Recent polls have shown every single major initiative of the administration underwater. He doesn't get exposed. To the real world very much. Mm. He's got a bubble of people around him who wouldn't want to be back, you know, in the womb of the Oval Office, being hand-fed Big Max and quarter pounders by Natalie, while she's whispering all the flattering coverage from Mr. Pillow TV Network into his ear.
Trump is living in a bubble and he doesn't like leaving the bubble. Because it reminds him of just what a incredible failure the second term has been.
David Roscock's
How are you? Joe Anna Calls. I'm good. How
are
you?
I'm feeling a bit bedraggled because I got caught in the tail end of the Nor'easter, David.
Did you kay to work? Almost through flood waters?
I almost kayaked through the AI flood waters. People kept sending me videos over the weekend saying, Oh, I see that Soho is underwater. And I was looking out my window thinking, nope, we're not underwater. It's all good. But David, how are you getting on with your hip replacement? Because it's two, is it two weeks? What is it? Ten days? Ten days. Ten
days. It's only ten day. It's only ten days. It's a miracle. Uh I'm uh you know, I'm I'm super grateful to you for inspiring me and I'm looking forward to replacing some other parts of my life.
Well, when you come up to New York, you can come and do Pilates with me, which is my latest thing now. Um, throwing my legs around all over the place because they feel as if they are new and yours will too.
Joe Hannah. Oh my God. Um uh yeah, I'm looking forward to just getting back, playing tennis, you know, not worrying about pain and things. Um, and uh focusing on what's going on, because you know, Joanna, in just five weeks there's an election in the United States. Isn't that exciting? There
is. I didn't know that. I didn't know that.
Yeah. Well, you guys don't cover that stuff at the Daily Beast. It's also mostly just Hollywood stuff, right? Yeah,
it's just it's trivs. You know how I know that we have an election coming up because Donald Trump's got an advertising campaign that the US government has been paying for. Before we get into it, yeah, before we get into it, we should just remind people to subscribe to the Daily Beast podcast. Please, wherever you get your podcast, the reason that David can have such a disinhibited conversation about uh the state of our politics right now and the state of our people in power is precisely because we are independent media. Uh, so we appreciate your support. Sign up wherever you see signs for the Daily Beast, wherever you get your podcast. And we're going to be talking about Trump's, you know, paid-for campaign.
We're going to be talking about people profanely heckling him at uh the golf tournament that he uh appeared at. We're going to be talking about John Fetterman's Freudian slip. what was going on there. Ken Paxton failing at the pen theft. Okay. James Tallerico on that, like, what did they say? White on rice. I've never understood that expression, but I do understand why James Tallerico is going after Paxton quite so effectively.
You know what color rice is, right? Yes.
Is Trump using taxpayer money to fund campaign-style advertising?
It's a white all over, right?
Well, I I eat black rice from the Himalayas, or however you pronounce them. H Himala how do you pronounce the Himalayas?
