I have to admit, for a guy I didn't care for back in the Trump 1st presidency, I've come to really admire Anthony Scaramucci's analysis and opinion. Very sharp guy, showing up to talk with two very sharp people already, makes for a great show.
Right? When he was associated with Trump I thought he was a complete moron. Now, having seen him on his own, away from Trump, he is bright and funny and extremely personable. He's also devastatingly honest about Trump. I don't know what happened.
Scaramucci got fired not because he disagreed with Trump, but because he gave a disastrous interview where he called the head of the RNC a “paranoid schizophrenic”. He’s got a big mouth and is undisciplined. Sorta like Trump. Makes sense they’d dislike one another.
The saddest part is that rich people will do very well and the poor and middle class people, many of whom must have voted for Trump will suffer. Makes no sense from my vantage point in Australia.
It feels like the presidency is just a big money grab as an outsider looking in. It will be interesting to see how China reapond to the US now... I suspect china's ambitions to become number 1 super power is a bit harder now with Trump in office so it may force their hand to act militarily
I really think many of them thought a vote for Trump was a move to make prices and the economy, quite literally, revert to what it was 2017-19. I don't think they understand that it isn't how this works. Tariffs and mass deportations won't solve the working class' problems & as we've seen the markets are pricing in inflation already. But it's different than what was on offer (Harris' tax credits and price gouging policies just didn't set fire to the American electorate). Tax cuts also won't solve this problem, if we look at rates from FDR to today, we've been experimenting with cuts in earnest since Reagan on. If it was going to solve anything, it should have many times over. But, inflation is the beast that ends presidencies. "Nixon shock" and the stagnation of the 70s knocked down Ford and Carter alike. HW's average inflation wasn't far off Reagan's average but he did not have the Reagan charm. Biden/Harris is another victim of it. I think Democrats need to undestand their bleed with Latino voters, black men, is also, partially, the *same* is their bleed of working class voters. They need a message for the working class, and have their policy successes speak to the multiethnic coalition they want to do right by, and make sure the policies are inclusive of them without making a show of it (sadly I think they need to, to dodge the "woke" label).
increased softness of crime, open borders, open explicit racism from the left (tribalism) as espoused by this guest. and ya think people weren't getting sick of that
Its very low. There is a lot of stupid people in this country. Always has been. All they see is $8 bag of doritos and vote for the other guy. These are real simple minds.
Totally with Ed, here. I both share his disappointment, and his sentiment about how to move forward. I’m not interested in post mortems on the campaign. Donald Trump is a silly person who generates a lot of trite conversation. I’m bored and over it. Wake me up in 2 and 4 years to vote against this nonsense but otherwise let’s talk about something else.
That raw feeling from Ed is what a lot of people feel and how they felt in 2016. Your future is so bright Ed and you have a lot or people pulling for you. I like your game plan and I know your gonna make this world about so much good things that don't involve Trump
I’m Brazilian, but I went to school in the U.S. and lived there for eight years-years I loved and cherished. For most of my life, I believed in the idea of American exceptionalism and thought that America’s values and culture had a positive influence on the world. But this election has completely shattered those beliefs. It’s clear now that Americans aren’t who I thought they were. :-/ America no longer feels like a progressive force for good or a place I’d want to emulate. I wish I could say that Trump is only America’s problem, but unfortunately, the consequences of Americans most harmful decisions are rarely contained within its borders. I know this sounds bitter, but going forward, don’t expect sympathy from us. You chose this. I can only hope that Americas influence on the world can finally fade for good.
Progressives, force and good cannot be in the same sentence. Progressives are literally communist and anywhere they try to do good they make exponentially worst.
I’m an American. 73 years old. I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m so embarrassed. I’m so scared of the people Trump chooses to work with him. I absolutely feel trump has not changed, his attitude is stronger because he now knows if they don’t do what he wants them to do, “Get ‘‘em outta here!”. That has been his entire life. Why change now, it’s working just fine for him. It makes me literally sick. Thank you!
Ed, many of us relate to and feel your sadness. We will hold you to focusing on what's important to you AND keeping your objectivity in the podcast. Stay strong, and be a force for positive change!!
I'm a 64yo white woman with no family and baffled as to how this election turned out. But I've decided to give myself one week to grieve and then I'm out. I don't understand what voters saw in Trump and can no longer take hearing about US politics from either party. The reality is, this isn't going to affect my daily life and there's not much I can do about it. I feel bad for people who will be harmed or simply neglected. Now they own what they voted for, and what they won. Let's hope they don't f- it up.
Ed, this had nothing to do with her being a woman. This is the problem with current democrats. Everything is sex and race based which leads to ridiculous assumptions of the counterparty
they forgot that the woke stage has progressed far ahead of feminism... A "woman", to a woke tiktok zombie is just the same "far right fascist entitled scum" as any man. You need to be at least trans these days, extra points if you are muslim.
The fact that she wasn't a narcissistic, sociopathic, incompetent congenital liar with 34 convictions should've counted for a bit more than it did, our bleeding hearts tell us. If it's actually 'Democracy' that got us here (and I'm not totally convinced of this, because I don't want to believe we're this stupid, why would I?,) fine. But I would've preferred to be dropped off somewhere else besides Outer Dumbfuckistan 🧭 Population: All of us, now. If this doesn't make any sense in six months, I told you wrong. I pray 🙏 it doesn't. But I suspect it will.
And if your orange Messiah tanks the economy with his tariffs, is it ok if Scott talks around that? Or would that be "too much politics" for you? I'm interested in what (or who) might tank the markets. We know Lina Kahn is gone, anyone want to bet if Trump fires Powell?
@@2011hwalkerscrew you. Maybe just maybe many of us listeners don’t want nonstop politics from a non politics podcast regardless of what’s happening outside.
Ed, you have actually given me a goal and helped me see a path for what is left of my life. I am 70 this next year and I needed some way to endure the next years.
The reaction from Ed seems a bit excessive…The world isn’t over. People elsewhere in the world have FAR greater problems than people in the US right now. I really respect Ed & my advice would honestly be to detach a little. If you’re saying you think about trump every single day of your life that is not healthy. Carry on living your life as you plan to do 💪🏾
I love the sentiment of continue to move and focus at your own life independent of DT... I just don't believe it to be possible. He will make very difficult not to mention him and the crazy thing of the week he did, because he will do some wild stuff every week for the foreseeable future. Also rip Supreme Court. We will live most of our lives with the US having a Christian Supreme Court. It is sooo over for progressive rights.
The abolition of judicial control is the first step in the playbook of a certain German dictator. So no, you won't be able to move on like nothing happened. It won't end well. Greetings from Berlin.
@@goranamilosevic7454 democrats killed democracy when they didn’t have a primary. part of why they got blown out is because of stupid fear mongering like this 😂😂
My biggest regret is that it appears that US leadership based on facts, objective data, and strategic thinking is over. Trump's election seems to me a wholesale throwing away of these norms in place of memes, false claims, one-liner "policies," and feelings.
i think the message is pretty clear , until democrats dont become a worker rights party and drop identity politics people will protest vote right wing populist , because they will at least pretend to do something about economy , Harris said when point blank asked how she would be different than Biden that she wouldnt do a single thing differently, but prices are up and unless youre in one of the rare industries like tech where wages have kept up with inflation, youre in a world of hurt , people have historically always chosen right wing populism when times are tough , problem is its usually followed by real leftist worker rights movement, but im afraid democratic establishment simply wont allow for that to be the counter to right wing populism , because neoliberals them selves would rather shake hands with trump than bernie when it comes to actually passing policies that help your average Joe (Kamala was campaigning on raining in immigration and having most lethal military, instead of universal healthcare)
I really appreciated the wisdom of Scott's comment, "“…life isn't about what happens to you it's about how you respond to what happens to you.” I agree with Ed's resolve not to make this the Trump show. Thanks to you both.
Dems need to hold the Reps feet to the fire with all the promises that were made during the campaign. Dems should champion these promises and make the Reps deliver on these promises for the people that voted for Trump. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on pensions/retiree’s. Free IVF for all citizens……….
I feel and thought similarly. I thought there's no way we elect Trump after a failed campaign for a 3rd attempt. I thought it was too many and everyone would be tired of him being in our lives.
Inflation and immigration really hurt Harris. Inflation has come down, and the US managed it better than any other country, but the problem is that prices are still high, especially on groceries, and this hurts people who are lower on the socioeconomic scale. For these people, all the other good economic news means very little. On immigration, Dems/Progressive have to find an answer. Making the economic argument that immigrants take jobs that Americans don't want and support the economy does not work. The argument that we are a nation of immigrants and should continue our history of welcoming people to this country does not work. Trump demonized immigrants and still increased his margins with Latino voters. Biden desperately wanted to sign the Lankford bill, but Trump adroitly knocked it out. Obama understood the political pitfalls of immigration and earned the name Deporter and Chief. We have to figure this issue out, or we will keep losing elections.
Gaza cost her the election. Dems won Senate races down ballot in MI, WI, PA. Harris lost in those same states by a lower margin than the number of Muslim voters in each of those states. Those voters appear to have voted downballot.
Private enterprise grows food. Groceries are private, not government jobs. Does trump have a plan to nationalize and tax people to give away public foods? I don’t understand the republicans complaining about food prices
@@ITTester-o2mNo he doesn't get it. Prices aren't going to fall under Trump or anyone. People don't understand inflation, nor do they even look at the trend data. Keep losing elections? The Dems won the presidency from Trump like four years ago. Just stop it. People don't understand democracy, economics, immigration et al. And every four years everyone pretends they do. The electoral college is the right system for all the wrong reasons and poorly executed. We need an electoral college elected locally with the people's needs as their only mandate. They should be well paid for the job - set for life. And punished for any future corruption. Those people should interview and choose the president. End this reality TV show approach to deciding important matters.
Great attitude, Ed - you're an inspiration! I'm 77 and concerned I may not vote again and am also worried about the effect of this election on my three teenaged grandchildren. It's people like you who will make this country better. You give me hope! I've unsubscribed from most poliitcal podcasts after Tuesday night, but I will continue to follow yours.
Just heard a great suggestion by Nate Sliver: Baiden should resign now and appoint Haris a president for the remaining 3 months so we get our first female president. And totally agree with Ed's entry remarks, well said.
I am the last person to be a conspiracy theorist, but Trump's winning the popular vote as a Republican is difficult. He lost to Hillary by 3 million, even when he won, and then he lost to Biden by 7 million. He ran a horrible campaign, yet he gained in the popular vote. Naturally, we say it's racism or the gender issue, but a woman beat him by 3 million, and Obama was elected twice. I hope people are looking into that.
That's the fault of people like Ed who despise our civilization and its history and who believe that our borders should be completely open so that the working class can suffer and rich Princeton grads like him can flourish.
Totally agree with Ed. I was 30 when trump got elected in 2016. I’ll be 42 when his new term ends. I hate politics in general. Dems have been blowing it since Obama left office. Republicans have lost their way as well. Can we go back to decency and compromise?
Dems have ran a fantastic 4 years under Biden. Trump raped a woman, fucked a pornstar, tried to commit an insurrection. How are we even comparing the two???
That's a lame statement. 20 million have crossed our Southern border illegally over the past 10-20 years; you either support it or you don't. Cutting off the genitalia of teenagers has been going on for 5-10 years; you either support it or you don't. The rise of judging everyone by race and gender and sexuality has led to DEI being enshrined in corporations and schools throughout the country; you either support it or you don't.
Yep, most western countries operate with a “two party” system. And the majority of both parties are bought and paid for by lobbyists and special interest groups.
Actually Obama screwed it up worst. The financial crisis showed he was with the bankers but not the people. His actions are why this fallout is still happening
This country endured a civil war world wars and thank God we had people there that weren't so anxiety written we'll get through this. If you don't want to hear about him turn the dial your in control.
So you're saying if someone was worried 2% of the US population would die from poor governance (your civil war analogy), they shouldn't be concerned about 7 million unnecessary deaths because the US would most likely recover?
Scott is successful b/c I can tell he had real focus when he needed it and had mental resilience, i wish he would emphasize those necessary strengths upon his young viewers and co-workers. Being reaised by depression-era grandparents was my greatest gift, because a lot of the boomers who didn't want their wisdom are 70yr old emotional toddlers, and they're failing to lead or set a positive example.
Problem is, he said he should have never left the White House. Constitution says a President is allowed 2 consecutive terms. Do you think he will leave in four years?
"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron." H. L. Mencken 1920. That’s TWICE! This is what America is!!!
Always love Scaramucci's insights. I agree that there needs to be reconciliation, but America is a long way from that. Nor do i see an improvement in the culture war with Trump in power. Hope I'm wrong.
The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them - Turkish Proverb
Scott you shouldn't have gambled. You know you are NYU professor. You know NYU leans left.You know you are surrounded by left bubble.Still you bet without hesitation.
Thank you. We've almost forgiven the Mooch for his time attempting to be a mouthpiece for fascism. He's come a long way and we should recognize that. Glad to have his well read voice.
THANK YOU ED! your sad and depressed share … you nailed it 👍🏼 I’m twice your age and I’ve equally been overwhelmed and appalled at how long Donald has been making noise in our lives 🙄
no he didn’t sadly. trust me, the people who were so insanely wrong about how this election would go are NOT nailing it. I love this podcast but they don’t understand at all what happened 😂
@@LagoLhn no its not and i’m black. its not in most people’s top 3 which is why this was a huge L for dems. inflation came down but prices didn’t. and when the working class said the economy sucked, liberals basically told them to shut up because gdp was high, the stock market was up, and biden created a bunch of low paying jobs. people complained about money being sent to ukraine and israel and liberals told us to shut up. people ( black people in the heart of chicago) complained about illegal imigration and liberals told us to shut up. every complaint from regular people was written off as “far right”
Trump is not going to accept any decreases in the markets. Hes a one term president and will spend anything it takes to leave office with the veneer of economic prosperity.
You had a weekend-at-bernys first candidate which you magically switched for the most unqualified person you could ever find, alienated the working class, alienated men, women, the entire white race and were gaslighting everyone with the same coordinated mainstream media talking points 24/7, why are you wondering why this happened? BTW I have no direct horse in this race, I live on the other side of the planet and I realy care about the US, since whatever happens there affects us all. Love, peace, common sense and introspection! Cheers! 🌞
White race? These ideas of humans being in a "race" according to their skin colour were only scientific in about 1910. We now know there is no way you can look at DNA and have the slightest idea whether someone is white irish, white russian, white maltese etc. The word (and concept) of race as identified by skin colour is really a colonial thing so when people from europe took over faraway places they could easily identify (and subjugate, quite literally subjugate) people with darker complexions. Everyone non european then got categorised "black" or different words that we no longer tend to use as if this worldwide homogenisation of label made the slightest sense. Lesson over.
Most unqualified… I disagree with that statement but even if she was, I bet your voted for Trump his first term…. What qualifications did he have to work in gov? You obviously don’t think through your ideas
@@avantijazz😂😂 a difference without distinction that doesn’t even respond to the point OP made. You just added your own commentary without any meaningful contribution.
I second this wholeheartedly, and the same - I have no horse in this either, I'm from NZ - With all that was at risk they chose to run, with no primary, a robotic candidate with no real message against a beast. The dems deserve to be punished for this ongoing behaviour, its just unfortunately they decided to run this way against a Fascist :)
@stathisath I'm sorry, who alienated the entire white race??? Your filter is off bro. You got to mix up your media intake. Harris hardly mentioned race or gender at all in this entire campaign. Apparently it's just on your mind.
8:52 minutes in and I fully feel the sadness to Ed for me but mostly for my wife and little girl. What a depressing man and I cannot believe the destruction and death he will be permitted to do.
I almost always leave for work before my 8 & 10 year old daughters wake up, but I stuck around on Wednesday to remind them they are safe and we would always protect them. But to be honest, I needed those hugs as much as they did.
I bet $45 on Kamala based on Scott's recommendations. Then last night I had a dream that I went out to a fancy restaurant with Scott, and he stole my girlfriend.
The way I'm feeling reminds me of the end of Super Bowl in 2015, as a Seahawks fan. When the Seahawks were on the 1-yard line and they called a pass play instead of running Marshawn Lynch, then threw an interception. I was hugely disappointed, but I ended up laughing to myself. I could only think, "I guess they didn't really want to win." That's what I think of America. They don't care.
As a middle aged, legally blind person who struggles to survive on less than $18k/year, how am I suppose to live after D.O.G.E. slashes or eliminates disability and Medicare? I think I'm just going to give up.
Love you guys, and I’m right here in the $h** with you guys. At some point we need to realize half of America are nothing more than self serving, self absorbed individuals with absolutely zero interest in others or their respective plights. This is America ffs, we used to help our neighbors in need, and congratulate those who’ve overcome adversity. Now those same neighbors we don’t so much as wave at when passing by, and we couldn’t give a baker’s f**k if they’ve succeeded at something or not. I’ve tried to cross political spectrums, and always be the first at the table to give something up and sacrifice for others. But we’ve shown that we are not that nation. We clearly have the memory of goldfish or Stockholm syndrome or some $h** to elect the mirror image of the absolute worst of us to the most powerful job in the land. Oh and to add to that no senate or house. Then when these same bottom feeders realize what life is going to be like under a theocratic autocracy and they want to go back it will be too late. Project 2025 will now commence, and any chance at justice we just wiped our a$$es with it. I digress✌️
they are making amazing money by chatting in front of a very basic recording set-up. Scott is a 100-200 Millionaire. They are NOT in the shit with you, trust me on this one :)
@toddheartsound5451 My point wasn’t with regards to any financial wellbeing or lack thereof but rather the fact we’re (not sure if you are) reeling from the recent news of trump getting reelected. You know, going back to a world where facts are no longer facts, and what you’re seeing with your own eyes isn’t real
@@Yourmission9 sorry but I don't see how Harris has been any better than Trump in the facts department. There's so many that I forgot (and they are irrelevant now) but start with the "Biden is running circles around his staff" and the FBI colluding with them to lie about Hunter's laptop... There are probably dozens more but I lost count. I'm reeling from 4 years of economic downturn. Back in 2018 - I was the MAN, phone won't stop ringing. 2024 - made redundant 3 times, cut any luxuries and made withdrawals from my savings. 500 applicants for each role... That's both an immigration issue and an economic issue. Can't wait to see what Trump does, it can't get any worse, in my field!
I was watching MSNBC, and while the panel was concealing their disappointment, hoping to keep viewers, that guy Steve Kornacki was not doing the network any favors. He was discussing all the same signals Scott pointed out regarding how Biden did, compared to how well Harris was doing. Also contrasting Trump‘s 2016, 2020 results to what he was achieving on Tuesday.
The problem is that many of us can't avoid being affected by what President Trump does but yes we should get on with our lives and if President Trump's behaviour

And if your orange Messiah tanks the economy with his tariffs, is it ok if Scott talks around that? Or would that be "too much politics" for you? I'm interested in what (or who) might tank the markets. We know Lina Kahn is gone, anyone want to bet if Trump fires Powell?
Well Trump has made politics stick constantly in the cycle because of his egregious behavior.
@@2011hwalkerscrew you. Maybe just maybe many of us listeners don’t want nonstop politics from a non politics podcast regardless of what’s happening outside.
Ed, you have actually given me a goal and helped me see a path for what is left of my life. I am 70 this next year and I needed some way to endure the next years.
The reaction from Ed seems a bit excessive…The world isn’t over. People elsewhere in the world have FAR greater problems than people in the US right now.
I really respect Ed & my advice would honestly be to detach a little. If you’re saying you think about trump every single day of your life that is not healthy. Carry on living your life as you plan to do 💪🏾
I love the sentiment of continue to move and focus at your own life independent of DT... I just don't believe it to be possible.
He will make very difficult not to mention him and the crazy thing of the week he did, because he will do some wild stuff every week for the foreseeable future.
Also rip Supreme Court. We will live most of our lives with the US having a Christian Supreme Court. It is sooo over for progressive rights.
The abolition of judicial control is the first step in the playbook of a certain German dictator. So no, you won't be able to move on like nothing happened. It won't end well. Greetings from Berlin.
Thank God we have democracy and not 3 guys in a pod cast or MSNBC ruling us.
I hope you will still have a democracy in 4 years.
@@goranamilosevic7454 democrats killed democracy when they didn’t have a primary. part of why they got blown out is because of stupid fear mongering like this 😂😂
My biggest regret is that it appears that US leadership based on facts, objective data, and strategic thinking is over. Trump's election seems to me a wholesale throwing away of these norms in place of memes, false claims, one-liner "policies," and feelings.
i think the message is pretty clear , until democrats dont become a worker rights party and drop identity politics people will protest vote right wing populist , because they will at least pretend to do something about economy , Harris said when point blank asked how she would be different than Biden that she wouldnt do a single thing differently, but prices are up and unless youre in one of the rare industries like tech where wages have kept up with inflation, youre in a world of hurt , people have historically always chosen right wing populism when times are tough , problem is its usually followed by real leftist worker rights movement, but im afraid democratic establishment simply wont allow for that to be the counter to right wing populism , because neoliberals them selves would rather shake hands with trump than bernie when it comes to actually passing policies that help your average Joe (Kamala was campaigning on raining in immigration and having most lethal military, instead of universal healthcare)
@stevelovescars, You might appreciate "Amusing Ourselves to Death" by N Postman
Abortion is very emotional… no one actually cares stop gaslighting women. Haha
Whats going to happen. is Trump going to destroy this country so bad, it's going to hit them in their pocket.
Much like Brexit.
I was waiting for this and 12 seconds in lmaooo
Let’s go!
Great pod Ed & Scott, totally with you re Trump and the way to handle the way ahead, chin-up.
I found, no one I trusted for news knew what they were talking about.
I really appreciated the wisdom of Scott's comment, "“…life isn't about what happens to you it's about how you respond to what happens to you.” I agree with Ed's resolve not to make this the Trump show. Thanks to you both.
Dems need to hold the Reps feet to the fire with all the promises that were made during the campaign. Dems should champion these promises and make the Reps deliver on these promises for the people that voted for Trump. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on pensions/retiree’s. Free IVF for all citizens……….
Let's not hold our breath on all that
Thank you guys for being a sane voice, we’re gonna need ya.
I feel and thought similarly. I thought there's no way we elect Trump after a failed campaign for a 3rd attempt. I thought it was too many and everyone would be tired of him being in our lives.
Wow! I'm just amazed at Anthony's testimony. Bravo!
Inflation and immigration really hurt Harris. Inflation has come down, and the US managed it better than any other country, but the problem is that prices are still high, especially on groceries, and this hurts people who are lower on the socioeconomic scale. For these people, all the other good economic news means very little. On immigration, Dems/Progressive have to find an answer. Making the economic argument that immigrants take jobs that Americans don't want and support the economy does not work. The argument that we are a nation of immigrants and should continue our history of welcoming people to this country does not work. Trump demonized immigrants and still increased his margins with Latino voters. Biden desperately wanted to sign the Lankford bill, but Trump adroitly knocked it out. Obama understood the political pitfalls of immigration and earned the name Deporter and Chief. We have to figure this issue out, or we will keep losing elections.
Gaza cost her the election. Dems won Senate races down ballot in MI, WI, PA. Harris lost in those same states by a lower margin than the number of Muslim voters in each of those states. Those voters appear to have voted downballot.
this guy get its. 🙏
Private enterprise grows food. Groceries are private, not government jobs.
Does trump have a plan to nationalize and tax people to give away public foods? I don’t understand the republicans complaining about food prices
Obama doubled down on deporting illegals because they hurt union workers, he was right
@@ITTester-o2mNo he doesn't get it. Prices aren't going to fall under Trump or anyone. People don't understand inflation, nor do they even look at the trend data.
Keep losing elections? The Dems won the presidency from Trump like four years ago. Just stop it.
People don't understand democracy, economics, immigration et al. And every four years everyone pretends they do.
The electoral college is the right system for all the wrong reasons and poorly executed. We need an electoral college elected locally with the people's needs as their only mandate. They should be well paid for the job - set for life. And punished for any future corruption. Those people should interview and choose the president. End this reality TV show approach to deciding important matters.
By far the best post-election analysis I have watched. Great job!
Great attitude, Ed - you're an inspiration! I'm 77 and concerned I may not vote again and am also worried about the effect of this election on my three teenaged grandchildren. It's people like you who will make this country better. You give me hope! I've unsubscribed from most poliitcal podcasts after Tuesday night, but I will continue to follow yours.
Preach Ed! I am tired of thinking about this dude.
Just heard a great suggestion by Nate Sliver: Baiden should resign now and appoint Haris a president for the remaining 3 months so we get our first female president. And totally agree with Ed's entry remarks, well said.
Nothing hurts Trump more than for people to ignore him.
I am the last person to be a conspiracy theorist, but Trump's winning the popular vote as a Republican is difficult. He lost to Hillary by 3 million, even when he won, and then he lost to Biden by 7 million. He ran a horrible campaign, yet he gained in the popular vote. Naturally, we say it's racism or the gender issue, but a woman beat him by 3 million, and Obama was elected twice. I hope people are looking into that.
Anthony is the fricken man what a wealth of knowledge and character he has.
i really appreciate what this young man is saying the rump toxicity has been way too prevalent in all our lives
4 more years.
Nah
That's the fault of people like Ed who despise our civilization and its history and who believe that our borders should be completely open so that the working class can suffer and rich Princeton grads like him can flourish.
Totally agree with Ed. I was 30 when trump got elected in 2016. I’ll be 42 when his new term ends. I hate politics in general. Dems have been blowing it since Obama left office. Republicans have lost their way as well. Can we go back to decency and compromise?
Dems have ran a fantastic 4 years under Biden. Trump raped a woman, fucked a pornstar, tried to commit an insurrection.
How are we even comparing the two???
That's a lame statement. 20 million have crossed our Southern border illegally over the past 10-20 years; you either support it or you don't. Cutting off the genitalia of teenagers has been going on for 5-10 years; you either support it or you don't. The rise of judging everyone by race and gender and sexuality has led to DEI being enshrined in corporations and schools throughout the country; you either support it or you don't.
1000% agree !!!!!
Yep, most western countries operate with a “two party” system. And the majority of both parties are bought and paid for by lobbyists and special interest groups.
Actually Obama screwed it up worst. The financial crisis showed he was with the bankers but not the people. His actions are why this fallout is still happening
This country endured a civil war world wars and thank God we had people there that weren't so anxiety written we'll get through this. If you don't want to hear about him turn the dial your in control.
So you're saying if someone was worried 2% of the US population would die from poor governance (your civil war analogy), they shouldn't be concerned about 7 million unnecessary deaths because the US would most likely recover?
Rock on, Ed, feelin ya bruh! ❤
Scott is successful b/c I can tell he had real focus when he needed it and had mental resilience, i wish he would emphasize those necessary strengths upon his young viewers and co-workers. Being reaised by depression-era grandparents was my greatest gift, because a lot of the boomers who didn't want their wisdom are 70yr old emotional toddlers, and they're failing to lead or set a positive example.
Problem is, he said he should have never left the White House. Constitution says a President is allowed 2 consecutive terms. Do you think he will leave in four years?
I think the fact that "Trump wins" carries an immediate and obvious association with specific industries and companies is an important fact.
"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron." H. L. Mencken 1920. That’s TWICE! This is what America is!!!
People so smart can be so stupid sometimes
Thank you for voicing your concerns about the fate of Ukraine and the danger Putin poses to all of us.
Always love Scaramucci's insights. I agree that there needs to be reconciliation, but America is a long way from that. Nor do i see an improvement in the culture war with Trump in power. Hope I'm wrong.
Scaramoochi is a good guy
The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them - Turkish Proverb
Learned so much from these three in this interview. Keep up the good fight!
Why aren't folks like Mr. Scaramucci, leading the Democratic party?
Or the Republican for that matter
Scott you shouldn't have gambled. You know you are NYU professor. You know NYU leans left.You know you are surrounded by left bubble.Still you bet without hesitation.
they knew they were in a bubbly, they just never imagined that there would be way more people outside of that bubble than in.
his money he can choose what to do with it
@@bibby3027 people "outside of that bubble" are drowned in another bubble. Don't you see ?!
A lot of people lack foundational information/knowledge of how the aspects of any economy work, ie tarifs, taxes, inflation, etc.
Great show. Thank you!
You guys are awesome! Glad I found you..
Thank you. We've almost forgiven the Mooch for his time attempting to be a mouthpiece for fascism. He's come a long way and we should recognize that. Glad to have his well read voice.
Scott, can you please remind him how fucked up it was under the George W. Bush years
THANK YOU ED! your sad and depressed share … you nailed it 👍🏼 I’m twice your age and I’ve equally been overwhelmed and appalled at how long Donald has been making noise in our lives 🙄
Ed f*cking nailed it.
Ed needs to grow a set and act like a man. Textbook Gen Z beta.
@ big man
no he didn’t sadly. trust me, the people who were so insanely wrong about how this election would go are NOT nailing it. I love this podcast but they don’t understand at all what happened 😂
@@bibby3027 why don’t you educate everyone then? Does racism enter your top 3 by chance?
@@LagoLhn no its not and i’m black. its not in most people’s top 3 which is why this was a huge L for dems. inflation came down but prices didn’t. and when the working class said the economy sucked, liberals basically told them to shut up because gdp was high, the stock market was up, and biden created a bunch of low paying jobs. people complained about money being sent to ukraine and israel and liberals told us to shut up. people ( black people in the heart of chicago) complained about illegal imigration and liberals told us to shut up. every complaint from regular people was written off as “far right”
Trump is not going to accept any decreases in the markets. Hes a one term president and will spend anything it takes to leave office with the veneer of economic prosperity.
The odd truth is Maga world does not have mixed feelings about T.... they adore him with NO reservations
Thank you for sharing how your feeling Ed. I would say hang in there but it feels kind of hollow right now.
Amen Ed, well said. Focus on all the other things in life that are important and enjoyable/positive.
So much BS
You had a weekend-at-bernys first candidate which you magically switched for the most unqualified person you could ever find, alienated the working class, alienated men, women, the entire white race and were gaslighting everyone with the same coordinated mainstream media talking points 24/7, why are you wondering why this happened? BTW I have no direct horse in this race, I live on the other side of the planet and I realy care about the US, since whatever happens there affects us all. Love, peace, common sense and introspection! Cheers! 🌞
White race? These ideas of humans being in a "race" according to their skin colour were only scientific in about 1910. We now know there is no way you can look at DNA and have the slightest idea whether someone is white irish, white russian, white maltese etc. The word (and concept) of race as identified by skin colour is really a colonial thing so when people from europe took over faraway places they could easily identify (and subjugate, quite literally subjugate) people with darker complexions. Everyone non european then got categorised "black" or different words that we no longer tend to use as if this worldwide homogenisation of label made the slightest sense. Lesson over.
Most unqualified… I disagree with that statement but even if she was, I bet your voted for Trump his first term…. What qualifications did he have to work in gov? You obviously don’t think through your ideas
@@avantijazz😂😂 a difference without distinction that doesn’t even respond to the point OP made. You just added your own commentary without any meaningful contribution.
I second this wholeheartedly, and the same - I have no horse in this either, I'm from NZ - With all that was at risk they chose to run, with no primary, a robotic candidate with no real message against a beast. The dems deserve to be punished for this ongoing behaviour, its just unfortunately they decided to run this way against a Fascist :)
@stathisath I'm sorry, who alienated the entire white race??? Your filter is off bro. You got to mix up your media intake. Harris hardly mentioned race or gender at all in this entire campaign. Apparently it's just on your mind.
Came for these two Mooch and Prof. G
Scott’s right. It’s how you react that matters and determines your outcome.
So how will you react when your rights to vote will be gone, when your neighbors are going to be deported to camps?
Anthony, incredible monolog
8:52 minutes in and I fully feel the sadness to Ed for me but mostly for my wife and little girl. What a depressing man and I cannot believe the destruction and death he will be permitted to do.
teach your girl to keep her legs closed and everything's going to be fine
I almost always leave for work before my 8 & 10 year old daughters wake up, but I stuck around on Wednesday to remind them they are safe and we would always protect them. But to be honest, I needed those hugs as much as they did.
@@kyleolson9636 What are you afraid of?
@@dillon4060 probably abortion. kinda ironic that he talks about death then huh
What destruction? Like when democrats burnt down American cities in the name of a felon?
I bet $45 on Kamala based on Scott's recommendations. Then last night I had a dream that I went out to a fancy restaurant with Scott, and he stole my girlfriend.
Trump has certainly sucked all the air out of a lot of our rooms.
“We try to keep politics out of the show” hahahaha yeah right bro!
Democrats should have had a real selection process. She wasn't a great candidate unfortunately, just like Hillary all over again.
I”m so with you man - I want this guy out of my head and out of my conversations. Enough trump already
The way I'm feeling reminds me of the end of Super Bowl in 2015, as a Seahawks fan. When the Seahawks were on the 1-yard line and they called a pass play instead of running Marshawn Lynch, then threw an interception. I was hugely disappointed, but I ended up laughing to myself. I could only think, "I guess they didn't really want to win." That's what I think of America. They don't care.
Ed's word are impactful.
It’s going to be hard to be objective because whatever he says will drive the emotions of the market
I say Mooch for president tbh, such a good person who understands the world and can also talk honestly with people.
Hey Scott, I guess telling young men that they won't get laid unless they vote for Harris didn't work.
they still won't get laid under trump
And Shawn remains an incel.
You’re an idiot
@@JaeLee83 Why would young men not get laid? All young men won't get laid under Trump. What a stupid comment. What did the young men do wrong?
@@chacerickard9979 Scott said something in that vein in his recent appearance on The Diary of a CEO podcast. It was really strange.
As a middle aged, legally blind person who struggles to survive on less than $18k/year, how am I suppose to live after D.O.G.E. slashes or eliminates disability and Medicare? I think I'm just going to give up.
Brilliant podcast!!
Love you guys, and I’m right here in the $h** with you guys. At some point we need to realize half of America are nothing more than self serving, self absorbed individuals with absolutely zero interest in others or their respective plights. This is America ffs, we used to help our neighbors in need, and congratulate those who’ve overcome adversity. Now those same neighbors we don’t so much as wave at when passing by, and we couldn’t give a baker’s f**k if they’ve succeeded at something or not. I’ve tried to cross political spectrums, and always be the first at the table to give something up and sacrifice for others. But we’ve shown that we are not that nation. We clearly have the memory of goldfish or Stockholm syndrome or some $h** to elect the mirror image of the absolute worst of us to the most powerful job in the land. Oh and to add to that no senate or house. Then when these same bottom feeders realize what life is going to be like under a theocratic autocracy and they want to go back it will be too late. Project 2025 will now commence, and any chance at justice we just wiped our a$$es with it. I digress✌️
they are making amazing money by chatting in front of a very basic recording set-up.
Scott is a 100-200 Millionaire.
They are NOT in the shit with you, trust me on this one :)
@toddheartsound5451 My point wasn’t with regards to any financial wellbeing or lack thereof but rather the fact we’re (not sure if you are) reeling from the recent news of trump getting reelected. You know, going back to a world where facts are no longer facts, and what you’re seeing with your own eyes isn’t real
@@Yourmission9 sorry but I don't see how Harris has been any better than Trump in the facts department.
There's so many that I forgot (and they are irrelevant now) but start with the "Biden is running circles around his staff" and the FBI colluding with them to lie about Hunter's laptop... There are probably dozens more but I lost count.
I'm reeling from 4 years of economic downturn.
Back in 2018 - I was the MAN, phone won't stop ringing.
2024 - made redundant 3 times, cut any luxuries and made withdrawals from my savings.
500 applicants for each role... That's both an immigration issue and an economic issue.
Can't wait to see what Trump does, it can't get any worse, in my field!
Thank you for your great Podcast 👍
So it’s bad to deport prisoners because it’s expensive, better keep them because prison is free
Sounds logical 👍 25:50
Whew. Very nicely done.
When did the mooch become such a voice of reason…
Right on Ed! The most mature person in media 🎉🎉🎉
yeah the guy having a break down / tanty on a webcam from his spare bedroom? While he probably clears $100K to $150k to do so. Grow up , people.
I was watching MSNBC, and while the panel was concealing their disappointment, hoping to keep viewers, that guy Steve Kornacki was not doing the network any favors. He was discussing all the same signals Scott pointed out regarding how Biden did, compared to how well Harris was doing. Also contrasting Trump‘s 2016, 2020 results to what he was achieving on Tuesday.
The problem is that many of us can't avoid being affected by what President Trump does but yes we should get on with our lives and if President Trump's behaviour
I love the Scott eyes moving around graphic.

Ed is the smartest 25 year old that I have ever heard. And I am with many very smart young people as a graduate school and undergraduate school professor. Scott, thank you as always.
By the way if you keep the dirty jokes out I can add your podcasts as assignments from my students. Could add at least 1,000 views a year.
Ed's face is so funny 😂😂😂
Anthony acting/hoping that an autocracy isn't coming and wasn't the plan with Elon and Trump all along is unforgivably naive.
Best show ever. Love you guys. That clever people like you are on the right side gives me lot of hope
