Who will Trump blame for his electoral wipeout? - The News Agents - USA

0:00This is Matt Rogers from Lost Culture East, that's with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang from Lost Culture East, that's with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. We've been talking about Kewpie mayo for a minute now, and wow, so many of you already love this stuff. And if you're thinking, wait, what is Kewpie? Do you not have the internet? It's the OG Japanese mayonnaise, the one with the red cap. What makes it different? Egg yolks. Kewpie is made with egg yolks only Giving it this rich umami flavor That elevates everything Chefs use it Restaurants use it Where chefs work of course Food and flavor lovers use it You haven't tried it yet? Well find the red cap and see what everyone's talking about

0:40Why don't ya? Kewpie The original Japanese mayonnaise Kewpie. The original Japanese mayonnaise. Kewpie. This is a global production. JD. Habibi. There is this delicious irony in the fact that you're constitutionally obligated to swear me in in January. So you know what that means. Wolverine won, Buckeyes zero. Donald, look, I know you struggled with my name. So after J.D. swears me in in January, you can just go on and call me senator. If the memo was be gracious in victory, Abdel Al Saeed in Michigan clearly didn't get it. He was revelling in the pain of his opponents who he had vanquished last night. Al-Said was defiant, and it reflects that the Democrats don't yet understand just how big this win was for them last night.

2:08The biggest since 1974, since Watergate. What are they going to do with all that power? And how do they make sure it's not weaponized against them? Welcome to the Newsagents USA. The Newsagents USA with Emily Maitlis and John Sopel. It's John. It's Maitlis and John Sopel. It's John. It's Maitlis. And it's Miles. And as we sit here now at about half past 10 in the morning, we are still waiting for Alaska, where the Democrats are very hopeful that that will be another game. And astonishingly, astonishingly, we are still waiting for Mississippi, a state that the Democrats would never have thought they were in with a chance of. As we sit here now, the gap between the Democratic candidate and the Republican is something like 50 votes across the whole state, with about 90 percent of the ballots having been counted. That is how close it is. But that just gives you the broader picture,

3:07which is though we are waiting for those two states, the scale of the Democratic victory last night is of epic proportions. This is something, John, you cannot even fathom. I mean, just going back to Mississippi, I worked in the George W. Bush administration. I worked in the first Trump administration. Never would I have imagined that deep red Mississippi would be in play in American elections for a Democrat. And right now we are potentially within a few votes of that outcome, at least for the moment, getting certified for the Democrat. Now that could go into a contested race. It could go into a recount. But this just signals how significant that wave was last night. How significant every single vote is.

3:53I mean, when I went to bed last night, I think there were 28 votes between the two candidates. So technically, that gap is now widening in favor of the Democrats. It doesn't mean anything. We're not going to call it right now. But you would feel ridiculous talking about Mississippi 24 hours ago. And yet you can actually see how it forms part of a pattern, because we are now talking about Georgia, where John Ossoff didn't just win, but won immediately and by something like 20 percent, was it 16 percent over his rival there. We are talking about these deep southern red states, which will be looking bluer as a result of everything that happened in the last 24 hours. And I think something that you said yesterday, Miles,

4:38was really important, actually, on the show that we did overnight, where you said that the Democrats have kind of, I mean, this feels like I'm minimizing it, but they've kind of learned how to be cool again. And I look at the kind of senators that are coming in, the Ossoffs, the Tallaricos, the Abdel El-Sayeds, they have learned the lesson. And I don't mean this as pejoratively as it's going to sound, but they've learned the lesson of not being too Hillary. They have learned the lesson of not sounding too preachy, even though ironically, at least two of them are actual preachers. But they've somehow managed to work out how to make, if not Democrats, at least their own races feel a little bit more in touch,

5:22a little bit more cool, a little bit more plugged in to what normal people are thinking. Well, and you saw it in the response from young voters. Millennials and Gen Z by double digits swept towards the Democrats last night, and it just showed that they have tapped into a younger demographic, a little bit cooler demographic. The Barack Obamas will say the Democrats kind of have got their swag back. And of course, the former president appeared with a lot of them. He's the last time Democrats remember feeling like they had swagger, that they had the youth vote. And of course, he had campaigned with many of these folks that are now being talked about as the next generation of Barack Obama, like the John Ossoffs in Georgia. So that's going to be a takeaway for the Democrats. But I still think even this morning, the party, the nation has not fully processed what has happened. You cited the

6:11regions, Emily. You think about these regions that have gone red largely since Donald Trump came to power 10 years ago. The Midwest and the United States getting very red. The South getting deeper red. The Plains states getting deeper red. Democrats made encroachments in all of those places. Democrats flipped in all of those places. Unimaginable that they would retake the Midwest, the Plains states and the South all in one night. Miles, you talked about that people are trying to process these results. This doesn't quite qualify for breaking news and the whoosh that goes along the bottom of the screen but it is now 10 hours since donald trump posted on truth social and that is of itself quite remarkable

6:54because it's very seldom you get such a long period of silence and such a long period of silence after such an astonishing night he's lost his. It feels like he has lost what it is he wants to say because he doesn't know what's going to happen next. And I think that is somehow kind of indicative of just how seismic something has been that it has caused Donald Trump to shut up. Well, I'm going to make a prediction here. And of course, you know, as we speak, the president is probably waking up behind us in the White House, in the White House residence. And in fact, this was a common hour for him to get up in the morning. He stays up very late. He gets up in the 10 a.m. hour. He often does a lot of work by phone,

7:38by Twitter, by Truth Social. And this morning he's going to be shifting towards anger. I'm going to tell you, I've watched the stages of grief with Donald Trump many times. There were some early signals last night that maybe he wanted to reach a chord with the Democrats. He said he was going to find a way to work with them. We talked about this on air. In fact, as soon as we read that first tweet or that comment on Fox where he said he was going to work with the Democrats, I said, just wait. Before the night ends, this guy is going to be out there angry and fighting them. And sure enough, within the hour he was sending out angry tweets, he was sending out missives and pointing fingers. I think we're likely to see a Donald Trump this week

8:15that becomes very defiant towards the Democrats and their incoming majority and perhaps not the peacemaker he wants to pretend to be. In terms of the blame game, Donald Trump has blamed Fox News already for their coverage. Laura Loomer, his acolyte, has blamed God, I think, for letting the Muslims win. I think that's what we had from her overnight. I'm guessing there will be a slew of different targets for the Republican blame game now, which won't actually just lie with the Democrats themselves. It will lie with all the institutions around them as well. Yeah, I mean, I was watching Fox & Friends this morning, which is a good way of getting to kind of the heart of where the MAGA vibe is. And it was all about how these radical leftists

9:00had now taken over the Congress. The Democratic Socialists of Americaica were in control they're not there are maybe a block of them but they are nowhere near the majority of democrats in the house that we're on a path to communism and how could this possibly happen and it was trying to you know engender fear i thought the other thing that i also watched i mean i was switching channels because i wanted to get kind of both sides of it i I watched Hakeem Jeffries who is the Speaker-elect of the House who was cautioning against retribution. Now he wasn't saying we're not going to do anything about the corruption. He wasn't saying we are going to forget about everything else and we're just going to nail these bastards that were enriching themselves. But I think it was telling that he wanted to send a message. Our prime job is about delivering for

9:50the American people on affordability. But yeah, we're also going to do make sure that those who've breached kind of corruption laws and whatever else are held to account. Well, you certainly can say that at the White House behind us, there's the construction and you can see the White House ballroom going up under these cranes. And this morning, that ballroom looks like an even worse idea than it did, John, before this election, because the vanity projects became a major closing argument against Donald Trump. And ironically, he made them the closing argument for his candidacy. The night before these elections, he stood in front of the reflecting pool. He talked about the marble and the gold and the granite that he has redecorated Washington with. And the voters

10:34went out and delivered a message. We don't want that. We want you to fix our lives. We want you to lower our prices. And that's something you're still not going to be able to get away from. Even if the Democrats focus on affordability, they're also going to say, how did we get into this mess? Whose power was wielded in ways that got us into a worse economic situation? I do think the ballroom is actually a very tangible symbol of how the Democrats approach this now. I mean, literally, should they destroy it? Should they dismantle? Should they think of the ballroom as being the place where they have to undo all of Trump's corruption, all of Trump's excesses, all of Trump's ridiculously weird priorities? Or should they just leave, metaphorically,

11:18the ballroom where it is and say, we've got to get on with the real act of governing? And I do think that's going to be the kind of real decider now, because Hakeem Jeffries also, I think, threw some shade onto Robert Garcia, who is this Democrat that's now head of the Oversight Committee, who's the one you were talking about last night, who said they need the Trump administration, they need to lawyer up. And obviously, you know, he meant it as a threat. It was meant to send shivers down everyone who's been on the wrong side of corruption and probably everyone who's in the Epstein files and thought they'd got away with it under Todd Blanche up until this point. So huge cheers from all the Democrats, clearly all the voters who want to see

12:00accountability served to the people. And yet what I heard from Hake jeffries is don't don't make this the centerpiece of your power yeah you have to remember that corruption is really critical to telling the right story but maybe it's not as important as just getting people's prices down getting people's cost of living down but just getting people's gas but just going back yeah the unfinished ballroom yeah i mean it is a kind of perfect metaphor because so much of the fundraising took place from these the billionaire chums of donald trump who chipped in 25 million here and 25 million there and we do not know what they have got in return for that and it's kind of it just brings together everything about this second trump term

12:45about the behavior that has gone on about trump doing favors for his mates bringing in the tech bros bringing in the billionaires getting favors trading you know all sorts of advantages for their businesses if you do this for me the creaming off i think that sort of stuff is going to be where you know there will be oversight and there'll be investigation into them i'm much more interested as well in what they do about i mean you know ice clearly that has absolutely hammered the hispanic vote in these elections the people that turned out for trump in 24 just said i'm the excesses of ice have been appalling what are we going to do about it? And there is somewhere where I think through appropriations, this kind of tortuous process

13:30of getting bills passed and the funding for government departments, where you're going to see a line for ICE and the Democrats who've got a lot of power, going to say, we're not going to fund that. So I think that's where you can see real material change and the Democrats flexing their muscle much more in line with what the American people want. I think there's going to be a line that's drawn among Democrats between the personal malice many of them feel, and in many cases rightfully, towards this administration. Remember, Donald Trump has tried to investigate or imprison more than a dozen Democratic members of Congress. We've never been able to say that in American history, that a sitting president has tried to

14:06imprison members of the political opposition, even trying to get grand juries to charge them with crimes. So it's personal. Wait, aren't you one of those, Miles? Well, I'm not a member of Congress, but I'm one of those former officials that he's accused of treason. He's threatened to try to jail. So there's a personal malice there. But I think Democrats are going to draw a line between that and the sort of cleanup job that you mentioned, John, that they want to see happen. They say they see things like the ballroom. They see things like the reflecting pool. They see things like Donald Trump's plan for an arch in his honor. And they think this is theft. This is theft for me and my taxpayer dollars. And they want to see that reversed. I mean, if you think about the closing message of John Ossoff, he actually subordinated the economy to his conversations

14:50about corruption. He said to his voters, you are being stolen from, they're taking money out of your pockets. And so I think for Democrats to meet the mandate they were given by voters, they've got to put that money back in their pockets. Yes, that includes improving the economy, but it also means holding accountable the thieves themselves. And I think that's a reminder of what a seriously good candidate sounds like. You know, this time round, the people that are going to be in the Senate are really smart, you know? They've come to this from different walks of life. You've got pediatricians. You've got people who've worked in public health. You've got people who've actually got whole careers behind them. They are not just

15:28Trump acolytes, right? And I do think that when Ossoff comes to a sort of question like this, if he manages to find the wording, find that very, very delicate balance of how to make accountability also sound like he's returning money to people's pockets, then he's nailed it. I'm not sure that all of them have. And I want to go back to the Abdul El-Said clip that we played at the beginning. I mean, there's a guy who, I think I'm right in saying, called his own race before the network. To the number. Right. No, but he called it on last night. He actually went up and made his sort of victory speech before the network to the number. Right. No, but he called it on last night. He actually went up

16:06and made his sort of victory speech before the networks had had called it. Now, that's pretty punchy. You know, OK, he was right. He got the number right. But I think he's also someone that some parts of the Democratic Party will be nervous about because he looks as if he's standing there kind of muscled up looking for a fight. And I'm not sure that is the kind of sense they want to give off right now. And there is there is a weird sort of geographical divide in the personalities of the Democrats. I think, you know, if you look at the the DSA, the socialists tend to be in these northeastern parts of the country, more traditional Democrat areas. So if you like, they were already Democrat. Now they've got a bit more socialist and the preacher class,

16:55if I'm going to call it that, the Adam Hamilton's in Kansas, James Tallarico in Texas, the John Ossoff's seem a slightly calmer sort of, I sort of i don't know maybe call it centrist maybe just call it sis i don't know so slightly lower key in terms of whether that busting for a fight right now you know look we saw a lot of preachers and a lot of doctors elected last night that'll be for a later analysis of of what that actually tells us but i think that one of the things you're going to see as a challenge within the Democratic Party is the tension you point out, Emily, because there are leaders within the party that want to strike a little bit more conciliatory tone and look forward. But look, they're going to be dealing with their own voters over the next two years

17:39who are very, very angry and not just at Donald Trump. They're angry at the oligarchs. They're angry at the companies. They're angry about the data centers. They feel like they've been fleeced. And that anger of those voters, they are going to demand that it be channeled into some sort of action. So the Democratic Party is going to have a tough time moving on to forward-leaning conversations about the economy and health care when their people are saying, we need you to right these wrongs. And I think that will be one of the big debates within the House and the Senate over the next two years. I tell you what, if someone has a heart attack in the House of Representatives now, there's going to be a fight between all the doctors trying to get to treat that person,

18:18first of all. And the preachers on who's going to pray over them. Exactly. Who's going to administer the last rites. We'll be back after this break. This is the story of the one.

This is Bowen Yang from Lost Culture East. That's with Matt Rogers and Bo and Yang.

19:06This is Bo and Yang from Lost Culture East. That's with Matt Rogers and Bo and Yang. Okay, we've been talking about Kewpie Mayo for a minute now, Bo, and wow, the feedback we're getting. I mean, so many of y'all love this stuff. You're stopping us in the street going, I love Kewpie. And if you're thinking, wait, what is Kewpie? Do you not have the internet? It's the OG Japanese mayonnaise. The one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. Once you know it, you start seeing it everywhere. People ask what makes it different from basic mayo. Well, the answer, egg yolks. Kewpie is made with egg yolks only, giving it this incredibly rich umami flavor that elevates everything. Burgers, fries, sandwiches, chicken, noodles.

19:48Chefs use it. Restaurants use it. People who really love food and flavor use it. Whatever you're eating, Kewpie it. So if you haven't tried Kewpie yet, find the bottle with the red cap and see what everyone's talking about. You'll understand. Kewpie, the original Japanese mayonnaise. The News Agents USA. So the big question is going to be what happens next in the coming hours, days and weeks, especially in that building behind us. Now, if past is prologue, I'll tell you what happened after 2018. I was at the White House the day after the midterm elections in 2018 when Donald Trump lost the House. And again, at that time period, he had advisers who were telling him, try to strike a deal with the Democrats.

20:39Let's be on good relations with them. These people are going to be able to investigate us and make our lives very difficult. And that lasted for Donald Trump for maybe about 60 minutes before it burned off in a fuel of anger that we saw from him behind the scenes and then which he took into an hour and a half long press conference at the White House where he excoriated Democrats and he complained about the witch hunts and he fretted about the investigations and he attacked the press. I'm guessing we're going to see the same Donald Trump over the next few days where advisors are saying it might make sense for us to work with the Democrats. The president has sent some of those early signals, but he's not going to be able to stay

21:17on message. We're going to see Trump go where he's familiar, which is the warpath. Just spell that out because you were in the room and I'm trying to work out what angry Trump looks like away from the cameras. I mean, is it shouty? Is it irascible? Is it throwy? Like what is he? Well, look, Donald Trump has a tendency to blame the people who are in visible sight of him, who are within reach. He started in 2018 blaming the staff, blaming the people around him who'd given bad advice, blaming anyone who he could think of but himself. He's already started to do that last night. Now, the consequence of that in 2018, which we can draw a lesson into for 2026, was that it was followed by purges. Donald Trump purged his White House chief of staff.

21:59He purged members of the cabinet. And we already have early inklings from the past few weeks that if Donald Trump and the Republicans lost the Congress, he would look at firing his White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles. He'd look at firing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for the war in Iran. And I think we're going to hear over the next few days more coming out from this White House about people who are going to experience their last few days on the job here in Washington. I suppose the other thing that I'm kind of fascinated to see is, is there going to be a change of behavior of some of the people? I mean, the attorney general, you know, the Justice Department under Todd Blanche has become just a rubber stamp for whatever Donald Trump wants to see happen.

22:40I want to see legal action taken against Alaska and the election there. Boom. OK, Todd Blanche announces that he's going to do that. And Donald Trump takes the credit for it. happen i want to see legal action taken against the Alaska and the election there boom okay top blanche announces that he's going to do that and Donald Trump takes the credit for it are you going to see a justice department that is just a tiny bit more mindful of what its responsibilities are now that Donald Trump has lost so decisively and there is the subpoena power of the house and the senate or do these people, these cabinet members, the attorney general, whoever it happens to be, think I've still got to show 100% fealty to Donald Trump.

23:13I've still got to do his bidding, whatever it is he asks of me, and I will continue to do that. Or do they start to think, actually, you know what? We have cut a few too many corners and now is the time maybe to start behaving a bit more responsibly. I think there's a lot of fear in that building in particular this morning over the Justice Department. And I will tell you why. Because some of the things that have transpired in the first two years of the second Trump administration have been definitionally illegal and unconstitutional at that department. For instance, there have been prosecutions that could be characterized as selective and vindictive prosecutions. That's against the law. There are James Comey. That's right. Like the investigations of the FBI.

23:52Comey and Letitia James and others. There are facts that cannot be erased that led up to those investigations. And, you know, this goes back to our retribution conversation. Regardless of how you cut it, there are going to be people who say we have to investigate the investigators, we can't let violations of law continue, and there will be folks at the Justice Department who wake up this morning and realize they're probably going to find those emails, they're going to find those files. Yes, the President of the United States wanted us to prosecute someone without facts and without cause, and that's going to put ordinary people who are in these jobs working for Donald Trump in genuine legal peril, not just for the next few weeks. I mean,

24:29they're going to be dealing with this, hanging over them for years to come, especially if a Justice Department changes hands. And I think the flip side is also true, because after the Epstein files were released, three million of them at least, Todd Blanche, Attorney General, spent about five minutes before he declared the case was closed. We've investigated and we think there's nothing to see here. So crack on. Don't worry. You're all fine. Now, imagine if the Democrats have the power. They have the power of oversight. They have the power of subpoena. They can pull in whoever they want from those files. They reopen literally the files and they say, actually, this isn't case closed in the case of Epstein survivors.

25:11This isn't case closed in the case of those perpetrators, alleged rapists that are in the files who are actually named in the files. So I think there's going to be a lot of people feeling much less comfortable with the future as a result of what has happened in the last 24 hours because they could be heading to jail yeah there is one other thing about all of that and that donald trump has said that i am going to spray pardons around wherever i think that anyone is facing legal jeopardy so you know elon musk here's your pardon don jr eric here's your pardon. Don Jr., Eric, here are your pardons. Cabinet members galore, here are your pardons as well. And that will happen. I'm sure of that. But the pardons that a president gives only protect you from federal law. What if Elon Musk

25:57has done something in Texas, which the new administration find contravenes Texan state law? The presidential pardon does not protect you from that donald trump found that out when he in the stormy daniels case it was the state that took action against him that indicted him and there was no amount of pardoning that could get him off that and i think that's a kind of interesting area where states that have suddenly got a lot of power you look at georgia now you look at uh texas now where strange people have been coming in tech billionaires wanting their data centers and the like elon musk etc what corners were cut there and you know you're going to have the texan state authorities able to do quite a bit of work on that just on exactly that um question i was just looking at this all the ai

26:41stocks have absolutely tumbled south uh between i think, 26 and 30 percent of planned America data center pipeline comes through Texas. Well, and there's there's going to be a massive corporate reckoning here in Washington. We talked about the ballroom most immediately. It will be inquiries into what companies gave money to the Trump administration, hoping for favors. But bigger picture, a lot of these American companies made themselves MAGA. You think about companies like Palantir and others that got very close to the administration, appeared at political events, made themselves seem much more political. Those companies are now going to be very worried about losing federal contracts in future administrations. They're going

27:23to be worried about this political tinge that sticks on them. They're going to be worried about losing federal contracts in future administrations. They're going to be worried about this political tinge that sticks on them. They're going to be worried about getting hauled into hearings. And you're going to see that reckoning reach the corporate world and have some major implications. Does it mean have the Democrats got enough power to insist on AI regulation? Can they do that now whilst Trump is still president? Well, that's actually one of those areas that you might see the potential for collaboration. Look, if I was still working for Donald Trump, I would say, and probably the advice would be ignored,

27:49that, look, if you want to reach a chord with Democrats, let's pick some areas where Democrats and Republicans all think that their voters are nervous and they're anxious. One is on AI and data centers. A good deal could be done there. I don't know if that will end up happening, but this is potentially the moment for that sort of thing can i just mention one other group who are feeling pretty nervous this morning and let's just lump them together on massachusetts avenue where a huge number of the embassies are and call it the rest of the world because the rest of the world are looking at this and thinking trump's powers domestically are massively curtailed because of what has happened overnight

28:27with the dems taking control of the house and the senate in decisive numbers but donald trump on foreign policy what he does with putin what he does when he meets g yeah i think that in the embassies around this town there are a lot of anxiety and a lot of anxious governments you know donald trump i mean you take brit for example, it's got a special carve out on whiskey tariffs and on automobiles. Does that stay? Does that go? And every country around the world will be looking at certain things where it thinks, oh, my God, have we got a new vulnerability to a president who's lost power at home, but now wants to assert himself around the world in the second half of this administration when he hasn't got anything he can do there you wouldn't want to be

29:10cuba for example right now or zelensky yeah and also just to really lower the tone for a moment this is a side issue but imagine if you are one of those who has remade your entire image in Trump's, remade your entire image physically as a MAGA person. Imagine if you've actually been through several rounds of plastic surgery to create the look. I thought that's where you were going with this. Completely. I'm not entirely joking. You know, there are people who've been through pain and expense to reflect the president in all his glory. I just I don't know how much you you want to be mistaken for a MAGA fan right now. It's a really remarkable observation that there are people who have changed their faces for this man.

29:59I mean, there's a candidate, a Republican candidate who was running in this race, who drove around in an orange cyber truck in honor of Donald Trump. I mean, they've changed their lives. They put bandages on their ear the day after his attempted assassination when he was apparently hit in the ear. Well, it's going to be a bad hangover day for them. And karma delivers some of the worst hangovers. And I'll say, I mean, back to the bigger theme here of where's the line for Democrats between retribution and accountability? I suspect Democrats are going to be looking back to Watergate as an example. Remember, in Watergate, Richard Nixon was pardoned by his successor, Gerald Ford. There was trying there was an effort in Washington to try to bring the sides back together and engage in reform.

30:39But in the years that followed, nearly three dozen people went to prison. And that was basically over one act and one cover up. OK, there was been there's been a Watergate almost every single day of this administration. Don't take my word for it. J.D. Vance, the vice president, joked about it at all places at the Nixon Library. He said there's been almost a Watergate sort of scandal every 12 hours. So there is going to be this push for both things to be true, for there to be some form of conciliation between the parties, but also accountability. We'll be back in a moment.

32:13Kewpie yet, find the bottle with the red cap and see what everyone's talking about. You'll understand. Kewpie, the original Japanese mayonnaise. The News Agents USA. Just before we go, we haven't heard from Donald Trump still. We have heard from J.D. Vance and it's kind of a fascinating post that he's put up, which is the reason we lost is the war. It goes on. Everyone knows why we lost and any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there. Well, whose war was it again? Oh, it was the president's. Is this J.D. Vance putting distance between himself and Donald Trump, the vice president, eyeing 28, distancing himself from the current president? Because if he is, it's bold and maybe very risky indeed.

33:05Yeah, this is pretty remarkable. I mean, you wonder what the conversations were like last night at the vice president's residence in Washington, D.C., because he's got to find a way to create daylight between he and the president, which is very hard to do when you're the vice president of the United States. And not only that, but for a president who demands unflinching loyalty. And this may be that moment where J.D. Vance creates that, but for a president who demands unflinching loyalty. And this may be that moment where J.D. Vance creates that break and says we were wrong. The president was wrong. And I'll tell you, if that's not something Donald Trump accepts or agrees with, I'm not entirely

33:35sure you see J.D. Vance continue in his role towards the end of the administration. It's way too early to say, but this is the type of thing that Donald Trump does not tolerate. So how Donald Trump responds today to that message will be very, very telling. He does link the president back to that phrase. He says the reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night. So it's a little bit of linguistic trickery where he's trying to say, well, Trump pointed that out. All I'm doing is agreeing with all I'm doing is agreeing with the president, but I'm not sure that the president will agree with the president today. And if he does, what pointed that out to you. All I'm doing is agreeing with Donald. All I'm doing is agreeing with the president. But I'm not sure that the president will agree with the president today.

34:07And if he does, what does that mean? Does he end the war? Does he back down? Does he double down? You know, I mean, I'm getting my iodine pills just in case. Especially because it's been reported that the president was considering ways to escalate this war in the wake of the elections, that he might go harder on Iran to get more leverage in those negotiations. And I think it goes back to what John signaled in the last segment, which is that historically presidents who lose domestically turn their attention to the world stage. So Donald Trump will not be humbled by this loss. If anything, I can, I expect you will see him exerting his power on the world stage and perhaps in ways that create even more daylight

34:46between he and his vice president. Mars Taylor, it's been nice knowing you. I think we might have more to say about this subject tomorrow. I'm just guessing that this isn't quite done yet. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye for now. This is Matt Rogers from Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang from Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. Okay, we've been talking about Kewpie Mayo for a minute now, Bow, and wow, the feedback we're getting. I mean, so many of y'all love this stuff. You're stopping us in the street going, I love Kewpie. And if you're thinking, wait, what is Kewpie? Uh, do you not have the internet? It's the OG Japanese mayonnaise. The one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle.

35:27Once you know it, you start seeing it everywhere. People ask what makes it different from basic mayo. Well, the answer? Egg yolks. Yuppie is made with egg yolks only, giving it this incredibly rich umami flavor that elevates everything. Burgers, fries, sandwiches, chicken, noodles. Chefs use it. Restaurants use it. People who really love food and flavor use it. Whatever you're eating, Kewpie it. So if you haven't tried Kewpie yet, find the bottle with the red cap and see what everyone's talking about. You'll understand. Kewpie, the original Japanese mayonnaise. This has been a Global Production.
