Trumping the Shark | Talking Feds Podcast

- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- The world feels more upside down than ever, as Donald Trump staged a victory tour in the wake of his convictions and Republicans on the Hill fell completely and obsequiously in line. A great Talking Feds panel of Susan Glasser, Jacob Weisberg, & Rick Wilson analyze Trump’s total capture of the party & what it portends for November. We then move to the Hunter Biden conviction & why it ties Rs in knots, and close by discussing the sophomoric vote in the House to hold Merrick Garland in contempt.
-
TALKING FEDS PODCAST is a roundtable discussion that brings together prominent former government officials, journalists, and special guests for a dynamic and in-depth analysis of the most pressing questions in law and politics.

OMG!!! Will we EVER be RID of him?????????????????????????????????????
Trump thinks he is in the ultimate REALITY SHOW..he just can't stop being the tough know it all!. HE only acts on IMPULSE and hates being told "NO" so takes revenge. A Dangerous Goon
Sharks don’t eat excrement. He is safe.
as far as i know..sharks eat everything including tires (maybee by accident)
Can you show us on the doll where Trump touched you!
@@joancruickshank7771and trump is a HYUUUGE ACCIDENT
Even dogs eat shit! There's no way a shark has that much more of a refined palette !?
Love it!! 😂😂😂😂
I love this show. Great show Rick, Susan, Jacob, and, of course, Harry.
I’m old. Being a bad person who did bad things used to be viewed as negatives by both parties. For a bunch of people who claim to be moral, there are a lot of them backing a philandering, lying, cheating, selfish creep.
They used to claim they favored law and order and a small, hands-off government. Trump's plan will make the government more powerful. His .... stuff has caused the R politicians to hate on the judicial system, the DOJ, and law enforcement.
"The emperor has no clothes"... STOP ENABLING HIM!
I said exactly that in 2015..I wish ppl would've seen what I perceived back then😢
@@gloriarangott8803 More people saw it in 2015 than in 2024. The mistake was assuming he would automatically lose. Nobody put any effort into making it happen.
For me the real nightmare is how many people buy and ingest his b.s.
Literally buy it. Insane.
They pay him for the jokes. It's all laughter at the rallies. And boos on cue. Scary Americans who gave up long ago
To think that out critical thinking skills and social awareness is so compromised.
I blame Disney
😘
And those who don't DO a thing. Almost a crazed form of pure entertainment 😤
The Fairness doctrine, Raygun
Citizens United, 2010
Bump stock now, redistricting, AIPAC, non registered lobby, foreign $$$
Silence...... Hopefully, Roe will inspire 🤞
Harry, Thank you and your special guests for a very informative sessions .🇱🇷👏
Great team assembled today. You rock harry and much thanks to all on the panel. Your voices are heard and so effin important to all of us. Ty plz dont stop.❤
Jacob, on what planet is that entertainment?!? It's hellish chaos
That "planet" is the one where folks not only slow down to look at a car crash, they pull over, get out of thier car, and start yelling at the crash victims.
Rick Wilson is my favorite Republican, the list is quite short. 🕊💖🖖
LINCOLN PROJECT
I think he's now a former Republican!
I like Republicans (or former Republicans) who have a moral Center… the list is infinitesimal.
Rick Wilson is not on it.
Is he Pro Bono, now?
I am pretty sure he no longer considers himself republican. One thing is for sure - you can definitely tell an ad written by Rick Wilson -there are very identifiable characteristics to them.
Liz Cheney, and Adam Kinzinger are voting for Biden/Harris 2024
LIZ......Adam
I'm glad they're talking about it. It's hard for people to break away from the group they identify with. The more Republicans who speak up, the easier it is for others to vote their conscience.
No Liz Cheney is going split the ticket and or other reps.
F the entertainment!!! I had daily anxiety when Trump was president. My mental health is better under Biden. Plus my financial situation is better under Biden. America, admit it, you’re better under Biden too!
I know what you mean. My stomache is in knots most of the time. He’s despicable.
Of course! However, half this country is not mature, not adult. Their brains were evidently fed by TV and movies, American pop culture.
Half this nation's electorate is like you -- adult, competent, informed, educated, wise, kind, compassionate -- to varying degrees.
The Maga half falls in lust with an authoritarian because they need a "father-figure", but don't have the character, or wisdom, to know a good father-figure (Biden), over a TV-fatger-figure -- a bestial, debauched autocrat.
Because another area in which half this nation mal-developed? Is moral turpitude.
Definitely! I was drinking almost daily and had a much smaller portfolio under Trump. That fool was a daily aniety attack. Thank you President Biden!!
I wasn't entertained. I had to turn everything off, get on a horse and ride across the ranch before I had a mental breakdown. I actually had to remind myself that my immediate surroundings would remain the same even though I am surrounded by Trumping cattle producers. I will never understand how these Bible folks around here go for that mess.
Trumpy would be totally lost if he had to take care of himself alone.
He'd be sleeping rough and washing windshields on the Bowery
Harry cracked me up saying "convict" Trump. My "Convict 45" t-shirt did a tassel flip on pronunciation from verb to noun.
Harry, You are the BEST !!!!!!!!
Voice from 🇱🇻 . as always, love your pod! Praying that Americans will see the light and what's at's stake💙
Hey Harry and Rick I love the Talking Feds
If the boat was sinking, Trump was definitely the skipper, and the shark was laughing.😅
l love all four of you commenters! Smart, incisive and to the point. YOU four are people I can point to with pride as to WHY I love and admire my country so very much, despite its MANY, MANY tragic failings these days! A BIG thank-you to Harry Litman, who sponsors and makes possible these Talking Feds Podcasts, each and every one of which is, to me, priceless.
"Battle lines being drawn!
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong!
Young people speaking their minds,
Getting so much resistance from behind."
- Steven Stills, et al. Circa 1968
Some of us young people are now old people singing,
"Stop! Hey, what's that sound,
Everybody look what's going down!"
Dementia vs aging. It is not a welcome choice, but the choice is very real.
Remember, every president ages above normal in their presidency. I take Biden.
It's real. If Trump weren't rich, he'd be in a memory care facility. He didn't write Project 2025, though, and he's planning to bring the people who did. The choice is dementia and "this is a post-constitution era" club or aging and ordinary government employees.
Always find your sessions interesting…
You need to be teaching what rights your fellow Americans will loose in a Trump admin. The problem is the average Trump supporter has no idea. Time to Teach.
His supporters aren't ready to listen. It's time to talk to undecided voters, "double haters," and third party voters.
"Dada-ist doggerel" - I LOVE it! Thanks to you all for your expertise and perspective.
Yes, please throw Trump off!! Great comment!!
Don’t forget the danger of being killed by a windmill!
Donald Trump, Don Quixote.... think they're related?
Enjoy the series!! Well done!
Tremendously powerful battery. A lot of people are saying that it was the most powerful battery theyd ever seen.
Thank you, so much. Great discussion, really needed to hear you all. 💖. 👁️💙🇺🇸
The boat story was the same as when trump impressed himself when he came up with the idea of eating bleach to cure COVID. He thought no one had ever checked that a large electric boat might electrocute all passengers if it took water. He thought he was having an Einstein moment. The same way he said, “Do you know that ‘U.S. also is ‘us?’ As if no one on the planet could see some words mean different things.
It was kind of a scary insight into his thought process. To think "bleach can kill covid" and "covid is in the lungs" and then make an attempt to marry the two....to even get to the point of trying is a very troubling sign. To actually say it out loud to an expert and to millions of people watching is somethign else entirely. And this wasn't the worst of the transgressions. He really seems to have some type of arrested grade-school level IQ.
I enjoyed your conversation! Thank you.
You could argue that the NY election interference case is the most consequential of the cases because we might have completely dodged the Trump presidency
Absolutely. I thought Georgia was going to happen, but yeah. The appeals court seems to think it can take its sweet time.
I realize Trump provides entertainment for some people. Mainly for the media. He is not funny, intelligent or eloquent. He’s repetitive, rambling and boring 🥱
Thank you all
Not just America but the whole world is in peril if 45x34 gets voted in.
And the rest of us have no vote in the matter, THATs the really scary part. We depend on Americans getting their sh*t together, when very little in the last decade gives us any hope to believe that.
@@dfuher968 If you are from another country - you would have no reason to know this - but there has always been this element within the republican party - I have heard it called a recessive gene - but it has always been there - dating back to the 30s - there was a group that attempted a coup - it was lead by the father / grandfather of future presidents (Bush). Senator Joseph McCarthy - in the 50s - they have typically been held back - in their cage by the grown ups - but not always. I think in the end the mass of the American people will prevail. There was a lot of forces in play that lead to Trump winning in 2016. Since then the trends have been very very clear that in the overall general population has been rejecting Trump and his cronies. Of course citizens of other western democracies have very real reasons to be concerned - and you have seen that by the substantial ramp up of defense spending in France, England, Germany etc. I still do not think it is at a point where you need to give up hope - the next few months - will be very tenuous and anxious but if this election turns out the way I think it will - then perhaps some of the fever will subside - and we can all start getting back to life as a little more normal. Certainly in the allied countries.
The drama is strong with this one!
@@suntzu5836 The denial is strong in this one.
@@crystalcleary Expand!
ELCO Boat Motor Company, producing electric propulsion for watercraft since 1893. Trump: "No one ever thought of this before."
One word clearly shows Trump's stupidity on boats & batteries - Titanic.
You can't get Lower Than A SNAKE'S BELLY!!!
Listening from New Zealand. The politics of white Christian nationalism is impacting my country too.
34 is Donnie’s shame…
45 is America’s shame…
Don’t repeat it for 47….or it will be America’s end.
The most soothing thing I find about this whole episode is that we referred to the hyphen and Rachel's url as a hyphen. Not a dash. And that's correct!
Talk about Organized crime… what does it take to stop this nightmare
That's a really good point! This is all about ORGANIZED CRIME with Trump, and his cultish followers, the extreme right members of the Supreme Court, and, his cult members in Congress.
The Clash posed this question all the way back in 1981 (omitting to mention sharks and batteries):
🎶Should I stay or should I go now?
If I stay there will be trouble;
If I go there will be double.🎶
I guess the answer is: How much trouble do you want to be in and how confident are you of getting out of it? I doubt the shark feasts on a high fat diet so jump in, lardass! Maybe the shark won't outlive the oncoming tsunami... 🌊🌊🌊🦈
Someone must take his place when he leaves for his earned destination. They are lining up, kissing and clapping !!!
"Trumping the Shark" 🤣🤣🤣
What we cannot fail to mention and recognize is the impact that the NY trial and conviction has had on him mentally. I believe the ordeal and the outcome have both diminished him far more than people know. I believe those days of his sitting with his eyes closed in the courthouse, unable to escape his appointment with justice, was mental torture for him. The fact that he has several more trials to juggle while conducting a Presidential campaign makes his verbal demise and loss of mental acuity very understandable.
undeniable, correct observation, plus all those dollars moving hand over fist to his lawyers that could be landing in Trump's pockets
NGL -When I hear people discuss knuckling under to fascism as if it's just the natural progress of events, I want to vomit.
Is the shark going to get electrocuted too 😂😂😂😂😂
Susan, the absence of trials is more John Roberts' and Mitch's fault than it is anyone else's. FIFY.
@ 19:00 great point jacob
The Rep party are going flip on him. These die-hard are fed up with his behavior against there party
If Hunter had done all those things and not been an addict, he would've been Donald Trump!
Sharks. 🙄🤦♀
I've heard trump described as "entertaining" before, but I don't get it. Far from entertaining, I find him repulsive and boring and someone I want to get away from, not at all someone I want to keep around to amuse me. Ick.
When a concert pianist splits his pants people react strongly.
When a circus clown does it they say, "Oh, that old bit."
That's why a Biden gaffs get bigger reactions than Trump's.
LOL‼️
absolutely *great* choice of external/listener Q to respond to in 5 words or less!! LOL!!
1 to 10 scale ⚖️ on Dementia meter .... Trump is at 6-8. By November he's at 'honey'...'honey'... where am I.😮😮😮
Sure.......If you say so......Dick!
Jimmy's brother Billy Carter was the butt of jokes.
The political psychics like Susan Lynn have said that 45 will have a medical episode BEFORE the election and that he WON'T be on the ballot and that this monster won't be President. THANK GOD!!!😅
💙💙💙💙
If "trumping the shark" is a take-off of the term "jumping the shark" from the TV show HaPpY Days, it is SO accurate !! Going to any gains to try and revive past affection. The rats are deserting the sinking ship.
Enjoyed that last question. 😅

👍 HARRY LITMAN 👍
.
👍 AND CO 👍
I liked Billy Bob Beer.
Sorry but I have been on five juries and we NEVER discussed the cases with each other. The one time one of the jurors tried to talk about the case we reported him to the judge and he was dismissed
Got me thinking of the chaos from a different angle 😄
I’m not worried about Biden’s age we have an excellent VP who is more than qualified to do the job when we mention Biden we need to say Biden/Harris to remind people our VP is a thoughtful intelligent person
Wasn't "An Unhappy Man Doing an Unhappy Thing" written in frosting on Trump's birthday cake?
I thought you were going to play the theme from Jaws at the beginning.
MAGA supporters and just “maybe Trump” supporters , focus on how Trump makes them feel about certain issues, not the exact words. Activating a voter’s feelings is much more effective at motivating the decision of whom to vote for rather than facts. For dedicated Trump supporters, the use of confirmation bias shields them from changing their opinion based on new information.
These two things explain almost all of his support.
Most boats are fiberglass aren’t they? Fiberglass doesn’t conduct electricity.
I would like to state that listening to T-rump and having cared for three Dementia patients I see and hear the cognitive decline, and someone needs to give the man the real cognitive test that many other people take to prove cognitive or not cognitive.
These people hate Amercia including Cheney and Kissinger.
Hi harry,
I have questions. Now that judge Cannon has made it obvious she is team Trump and obviously unwilling to do her job. Question why haven't Jack Smith charged Trump with obstruction in New Jersey? What can the people do to contact Jack Smith and encourage him to keep fighting and get the case in front of a new judge. Thank you for all that you do Harry.
i think all's on a simmer until SCOTUS immunity decision comes down
PUERILE 🎃 🔨
Question: After the E Jeanne Carroll verdict, did Yrump have to register as a sex offender?
Sharks vs batteries sounds just like vampires vs werewolves. What brainiacs they have on the right.
I would like to see Trump ride a bike like Biden
Trmp walked up airplane steps with t.p. under his shoe-and no one would tell him 😂😂😂😂
Where do the figures for Trump's fundraising efforts come from? Trump's campaign? I'd like a second opinion, please.
Why is 53 million being said here? Is that a validated number?
.
🌰 He is NUTS 🌰
Harry, hoping you get $200K by July 4th.
The public still hasn't turned its full attention to politics as yet. My concern is that you leave a significant amount of funds for advertising closer to election. The last-minute Comey move helped Trump in 2019. Taje note.
Harry, I greatly enjoy your work, and appreciate the varied expertise your panelists provide. These weekly programs provide good, in-depth analysis and discussion. HOWEVER, including a comedian with no real expertise on the subject beyond a couple of anecdotes "punched up" for comedic effect really detracted from the show and added nothing. Sorry. Even the sponsored bit about alcohol was better. Please consider it a failed experiment, not to be repeated.
Sounds like AI bots might become the jurors of the future. Why not? There
is no chance they've heard about the case, they don't have biases and can't be intimidated, they can be sequestered every night and weekend by turning them off and locking them in a closet. They can withstand unpleasant autopsy photos and won't be derailed by emotion. Nobody has to miss work and nobody scores free lunches. IDK if there is a way to discern the veracity of witnesses, but that could maybe be programmed in. They can be programmed to consider only the evidence presented in court. It could actually work out.
AI is an unknowable % of biases.
Peter Bradford Benchley (May 8, 1940 - February 11, 2006) was an American author, screenwriter, and environmental activist. He is known for his bestselling novel Jaws and co-wrote its movie adaptation with Carl Gottlieb. Several more of his works were also adapted for both cinema and television, including The Deep, The Island, Beast, and White Shark.
No man. No island. Former POTUS 45.
JACKSON. NOT JOHNSON
DO do Ron Ron. 😊
Since Rick Wilson is avowedly faithless with “no moral center,” should these relationships cause me to trust him more or Harry less.
this guy (Trump) is afraid of Everything. 😂😂😂😂
Did DJT really raise $50mil or was that a lie that everyone just accepted as true? What percentage if the house actually showed up to kiss the ring?
"Why do Biden's mini-gaffes attract outsize attention?" Because Trump's counters attract clicks/eyeballs.
Harry, in your intro you talked about the "amazing" amount of money Trump raised. The figure was put out by his campaign, so therefore a lie. Please put in a disclaimer if you are going to repeat his numbers.

Garland failed our country with his extensive delay. Period
WRONG
Suposed Delay By Merrick Garland
SGlasser repeats a trope about the Actions of The DOJ and Garland .
Harry Litman should know better and pushed back on this
Marcy Wheeler has documented the investigation and prosecutions of Trump from the outset, and comprehensively analysed every twist and turn of every stage including all the satellite litigation. This demolishes the claims by Glasser et al, by providing comprehensive facts to replace lazy ignorant supposition.
A starting point for a fact based analysis would be
‘Merrick Garland isn’t to blame for delays in Trump’s election interference case
The popular narratives attributing delay to Garland ignores real-world obstacles and early moves against Trump’s co-conspirators.’

By Marcy Wheeler, legal and national security journalist
After the Supreme Court delayed consideration of Donald Trump’s immunity claim until April, some liberals directed considerable outrage not just at the court, but also at a member of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet. Such attacks act as if the delay were Attorney General Merrick Garland’s fault instead of justices like Clarence Thomas. These criticisms are misplaced. The Justice Department, before and after Garland’s delayed confirmation, started investigating key figures in the election interference case against Trump in 2021. And accusations of delay ignore the real-world obstacles that special counsel Jack Smith, his team and their predecessors had to navigate carefully - lest the whole case fall apart in court.
That is just plain wrong

is a popular fallacy, on par with Trump saying “Many people believe the election was stolen”
The popularity of a belief is not evidence of its validity.

This is a popular belief but demonstrably false. On par with Trump’s claim “Many people believe that the 2020 election was stolen”. The popularity of the belief is not evidence of its validity
as soon as t selects a vp he becomes irrelevant
Wee don't know who is talking.. (only stills)
Hate to say it, but my opinion is that (optimistically speaking) 40% of the US voters is easily duped. "Low information voter" = a nicer term for either not very smart or too lazy to find accurate information. Is that lazy? Selfish? Addicted to reality TV (which never was reality...just crap). I don't know, but it's depressing.
Btw biden broke his foot. Explains his gait as of late. He use to ride bikes everyday. Lets get that in the record.
consider age related neuropathy in the soles of his feet - you youngsters out there, research daily foot massage to keep yours pliable
46th!
Does Trump swim?
Maybe that’s why he chooses to stay in then boat. 😉
Trump is ONLY worried about getting his hair wet..
At this moment in time if you sit in the audience at a Trump speech or rally and you don't feel like you need to get up and get out of there as soon as possible or if you don't feel like you're listening to complete garbage and gibberish then there's something wrong with you. And if you think that this person should be the present of the United States then you're just as insane as he is.
Diapers big giant MIT brain couldn't figure out if he was electrocuted, the shark would be as well.
