The Chapo 2024 Elections team returns to the pod to look at the state of the presidential race post-Democratic National Convention. Kamala’s positioning in the election remains strong, but what does her convention performance tell us about a potential Harris administration? Is the Trump GOP really bungling this? Exactly how shitty is JD Vance as a VP pick, and is Tim Walz committing Dog Fraud? And just how much can the Democrats cover their ears and pretend Gaza doesn’t exist after the convention? All this and more discussed in today’s ‘sode.

Just want to say in the comments to this episode how happy it made me to see your superdelegate

Nico

The world needs Matt now more than ever.

JD Nonce

The Kamala/Walz administration going to be enjoying white guy tacos while unleashing a new kind of drone warfare

Chuúke

new Beltway Garage team 🚙🗳️

pdschmidty

Whatever makes sense. 🍩

Colton Koprowski

Sorry bro but you did a Virgil on the numbers in the title

Ben Thelen

And True Crime Obsessed

Jay-Z Pants

Theo Von describing a cocaine high to Donald Trump is a very special moment. Two of the greatest orators of the early 21st century

A RHINO

Trump could have just asked his sons..if he ever talked to them

Andrew Cross

when does Felix start speaking??

Jake V

Always love when Ettingermentum is on

Siddhartha

Beltway Garage: The Next Generation

Travis

Felix begins speaking at 6 minutes and 31 seconds in this episode

Mac daddy

I knew Ettinger was like 18 but I swear his voice has dropped an octave since his last appearance lmfao

MATT TRIANO

He also undersells it absurdly. Do we think millions of people have spent billions on cocaine because it makes you feel terrible all the time?

ChapoFan inParis

Why can't I download audio files from Patreon anymore? What the fuck?!?!

The Other Lauren

i use the inspect tool in firefox to find the url for the audio file and then download it directly. hackin skills

SoConfused

I can still see the download button lol. try it on another device?

Jacob Jenson

I thought trump picked Kennedy so they’d shoot at someone else now lol

Creamy Goodness

Ettingermentum eps are the best post-Matt era eps.

Tom

Ettingermentum is S-tier guest mic.

will michel

just wanted to say how happy it made me to see the video of matt from the other day. glad he’s doing alright. thanks for putting that together

Lydia Maria Child

Gotta open the episode page in its own page, then you should be able to do so. Same little dots. I can't do it on the "main feed" page with other podcasts, but can once it's open as its own single episode page...if that helps

Will Griffin

Josh is the Solid Snake to Felix's Big Boss. They cloned him to fill the post-V*rgil gap and create a younger, more ethical nerd.

drizzly_november

Dave Weigel’s great but he absolutely lives off the reporter slop JD Vance tried to order at the deli.

William

Wow really? Huh

Budget Hireling

I love to see Ettingermentum doing the actual work, with historical context too. I steal his analysis all the time to seem smart. He is the one the prophecy foretold, he will unite the clans under a single banner.

myminisinavice

Chris Wade produced Chapo spinoff of Weigel and Josh nerding out about elections (past & present) 📈

christoph.s

Great episode! Ettingermentum has very enlightening analysis, love him as a guest!

T

RFK helps trump bring in the Sonoma-Marin Anti Vaxx moms who drive Volvos and are subconsciously dying to vote Republican

Kyle Smyth

Vance wasn't picked as a maga successor. It's far simpler than that. He's a huge loser who is nothing without Trump so he's never going to betray/upstage him. That's it.

cwen

More Alex and less of the tedious Virgil replacement please

C. Ries

You stole this from the Babylon Bee cringe

Greg Forsyth

Love me some Weigel and Ettingermentum

Chris T

Great episode! THIS is what I look for in my Chapo

Chris T

Beating the Scadutree Avatar for the 14th time

Michael

“The swing voter they see is the alienated guy who hates politics and uses the term duopoly in regular conversation.” So people who watch commentators like Jimmy Dore.

Michael

He was also backed by people like Peter Thiel and David Sacks who were prepared to cut big cheques to Trump for putting him on the ticket.

Gagortion

You didn't say this was a beltway garage episode!

Erumas

So happy see Matt!

etienne

Ettingermentum is the Max Verstappen of posting

Travis

this was a fucking tepid episode

Laurel

Great episode, thanks, Chapo. Vance at the donut shop was giving regional corporate manager visiting your location ahead of labor cuts with an eye towards margin management. 🤮

SF

Need to be way more mean about Walz imo

Jay-Z Pants

I mean, I think Theo is somewhat of a former addict so that tends to cast a negative light

Geronimo

It’s cause their guests were a reporter and a democrat

Rory

I'm sorry Felix Bernie or busters like us were working inside the party. It's okay but that's the honest truth lol

Sarah S

They already do vote Republican.

Mark Schneider

It's still funny! Broken clocks are right 2x daily.

Mark Schneider

I wonder if the deranged Zionist who was spewing hate for Ettingermentum last appearance (called him "a shell of a human being" or subhuman or something) will say something nice now the Egm fairly notes that the hateful, deranged, (brain worm) Zionist RFK (FReaK) brings votes to the (R) ticket whereas JD Vance (what a "working class" name!) does nothing of the type.

Jack Hand

Where have you been the last 8 years? The demographic you described got trump elected in 2016. Not sure what your point is.

protob1

Amerikan leftists are like a pack of rebellious children, who periodically run away from home. Without direction, lost, they will eventually run to mommy, back home, to the Democratic Party, because they have no where else to go. They will do so again and again in this election, because they cannot fathom the possibility of starting from nothing and undertaking the long and grueling work to build their own political house. There is simply not enough money, drugs and boy pussy to be had from that gig. So, they will continue to complain, but gravitate around the Democrats in a variety of 'left' organizations and NGOs to provide constructive criticism of American capitalism and global empire.

Ian H

I think everyone stole it from Nixon (talking about Spiro Agnew)

Matthew

Breathe, dawg

Paul Xanders

Love these guests. Love ettingermentum's vibe. He's my favorite recurring guest host besides the Seeking Derangements crew.

AbeLinkin

I get it, but also chill

Matthew Dunn

Maybe I just miss Matt and Hell on Earth but would love to get Chris talking about JD Vance’s Catholicism and how it relates to religious movements today

buttface

you can just read dave weigel's blog

Bobi Jon-son Kenobi

Felix talking about the last Italian in Kenosha made me look up and discover that Lou Perrine’s was bought out by some Indiana ghouls and shut down. They were the last bastion of Italian culture in southern Wisconsin. I’ll miss their ho-ho cakes

Corey Reynolds

So does this mean we can expect Matt to be back on the show sometime soon?

etienne

what if i want someone to read it for me out loud while i ride my bike and perhaps even make jokes

Mike Mariano

This show has poisoned my brain to the point that at 34:57 Josh used the real names of Doug Burzum and Glenn Blumpkin and it took me far too long to remember who they were.

Jonathan G

First, Josh grew up so much since his first chapo appearance. He’s killing it. Best guest. Second, do these Biden or bust people actually exist? Not even NYT columnists have pushed that one. Who is dying on that hill?

ChapoFan inParis

Ok that was it. Wow is that ever annoying. Thank you so much!

jjdas

could you please stop having ettingerintigingmentum on for the love of god. just miserable

jjdas

“First, Josh grew up so much and is doing so well” are you his mom?

jjdas

that’s awesome dude you’re a loser

jjdas

no unfortunately you’re stuck with josh evermingungtjng, doesn’t that sound like fun?!

jjdas

why is that?

Scott

His substack is good

Scott

If I was a Dem I would be dreading the idea they switch out Vance. As we’ve seen, if someone is unpopular enough, just about anyone else is a boost.

Jonathan G

Your reply riffs seem angry and unfunny

B

Booo you

B

Concerning

adam cancglin

Why are you replying to every comment being annoying?

Natalie

I love the contrast of this comment and the one above it saying the exact opposite

Natalie

they didn't say he's doing well, they said he's killing it. When has your mom ever said you killed anything besides that time you ran over a dog

Natalie

you're also paying to be here if you didn't know

Valentino

will you shut up, man?

Ernest Ambrus

You pay for the privilege of posting dumb comments my guy

Matelda

I like him

Matelda

I like all of you and i usually don't know what people are talking about when they complain about the guests on here.

drizzly_november

As a cradle Catholic, we need a total and complete shutdown of adult conversions until the pope can figure out what the hell’s going on.

Jack Perry

Nah They need to make him a permanent host

Geronimo

He is Chapoverses Nate Silver. Bunch of self soothing poll bullshit! But every verse has one of these guys it can’t be helped

Natalie

just finished the ep and the man barely spoke besides about poll results and how Vance sucks. so are you afraid of polls or do you have a crush on JD Vance, J.D.? we've all been down bad its ok

Natalie

are you guys going to buy 75 digital trump cards for $99 each to win a dinner at marbalargo, if not this patreon is a waste!!! (Edit: just learned it's a different golf course?? who cares donald)

Natalie

what if trump had just said fuck it and made don jr his VP

Podcast subscriber 78

These guests were good. I think a lot of people complain about the guests who also don’t have jobs outside of podcasting, and do things like laugh and scream at inside jokes the audience won’t get, or use slurs like retard/retarded, and pronounce foreign names in stupid accents. I’m not saying these things are good or bad, maybe such actions are essential to positive political change, but most people probably don’t come here for cumtown.

Matelda

I'm not going to vote but if it hadn't been for the genocide, thwarting president vance might have been enough of a reason this time.

Matelda

I don't always listen to those episodes to be fair. I skip stuff that looks boring on all podcasts. I skip this podcast less often than others but there are still some that aren't for me.

Geronimo

He spoke plenty, it’s the third option 3) he’s the chapoverse Nate Silver, and Nate Silvers are annoying, democrats, ultimately wrong , and banal. ChatGPT could write his substacks, just type “write about these poll results with a “here’s how Berniecrats can still win” spin

Ham Stroker’s Jackula

Seriously. Adult converts are fucking loser dipshits who didn’t get the authentic bored out of your mind in religious ed class Catholic upbringing or hit by mean nuns. These dummies are just theater kids without a local Annie get your gun production

Dennis McDaid

8889o I i ‘ M I’ll o m lm mmRm ft t L

Scott

u clearly haven’t read his substack (or used chatGPT) (or both)

Scott

ChatGPT show me how Berniecrats can still win; Ever since JD Vance rose to prominence roughly a decade ago, he has made mainstream liberal journalists look like fools. He also hasn’t done it in quite the way you’d expect. Most of the time that right-wing politicians like him prove Democratic commentators wrong, they do so by securing power after being counted out. They are like Donald Trump in 2016, winning after everyone said they would lose. They are like Mitch McConnell during his tenure as Senate Majority Leader, ruthlessly securing power as Democrats anxiously wait for their “fever” to break. Very rarely do they see themselves feted by these exact groups as imposing and intimidating, only to completely fail to pan out. Unfortunately for Senator Vance, this has been the exact case for him ever since he rose to prominence during the 2016 election. Practically every single prediction made about him from these sets has failed to come to pass. When he first began writing, he was cast as the thinking man’s conservative. Instead, he ended up revealing himself as an intellectual mediocrity. When his autobiography still became a bestseller regardless, he was cast as one of America’s last truly principled conservatives. Instead, he ended up being perhaps the most egregious of the GOP’s many, many Trump cocksuckers. When he finally entered electoral politics in 2021, this time with a brand new “populist” worldview, he was cast as an electoral juggernaut in the making. But instead, he put up one of the most egregiously awful performances of any Republican candidate in the country in the 2022 midterms, requiring a gargantuan bailout to win in a solid Trump state against a weak opponent. I take some pride in having picked up on this fraudulence relatively early. While the press still insisted on covering him as a fascinating, meaningful figure even after his pathetic result in 2022, I stood firm in my belief that LeVance had no real rings. When I published my tier list of potential Republican presidential candidates, I put him firmly at rock bottom. When I included him in my tier list of Trump’s potential VP nominees, I put him in F Tier once again. I even conducted a scientific study to prove that the “right-wing populist movement” he claims to represent is not just unpopular, but hardly even a real movement at all—just a way for him to feel better about himself. If JD only has one hater left, that’s me; if he has no haters, that means I am no longer on this Earth. In light of this, the easy thing to do right now would be to take a victory lap about how utterly awful his rollout as Trump’s VP pick has been. I would say everything that you all already know: that he’s an insecure, out-of-touch freak with mommy issues so severe that he shouldn’t be allowed within 100 feet of a CrossFit. I’d say that voters can see this, that they hate it, and that it could very well cost Trump the election. But you all know this already, so just repeating it wouldn’t be adequate to move the frontiers of Vance-hating forward. In order to do so, I have decided to take the road less traveled. I have taken the position that JD Vance is not just a bad VP pick, but the worst VP pick in modern history—even worse than the one you’re thinking of right now. In this article, I will seek to prove it by going through all of the other contenders for the title, one by one.

Shfifty_five

Well, AOC was originally. Just goes to show, CIA just can't teach that populist intuition most organically successful grifters take for granted

protob1

Hahaha, the la la homoman moderator of this drug addict therapy podcast is deleting comments. Hahaha image scrolling through all of this trash to report and delete mildly offensive commentary. What a loser.

Cody McKinley

So glad someone finally mentioned Earth Rider again

Katie

I like Ettingermentum, he’s smart and funny, but Dave Weigel sounds like he’s afraid of getting fired every time he speaks.

Geronimo

I have used ChatGPT. His dogshit substack is formulaic, and all the same schtick of trying to squeeze out left wing meaning from Democrats (his hard on for Andy Beshear for example.) Youd have the machine write new ones by using one or two of his previous article - just inputting arbitrarily chosen new polls to make a “here’s how Bernie stand in can win” type theses. Sorry buddy that fantasy is not the actual ship you’ve hitched your content career to, you aren’t fooling anyone except fools!

Jack

anyone else waiting for the chapo review of the dennis quaid reagan biopic?

joe

beltway garage gone but not forgotten

drizzly_november

That basically did happen to him at the Post though.

MKatieUltra

The Kennedy whale story reminded me of Drawing Restraint, this very weird, kinda tedious art film from 2005 with Bjork and Matthew Barney where they go on a Japanese whaling ship and do rituals and stuff with blubber

DaddyB

Wish I didnt listen to this one so quickly.

Gorgatron888

So wait, did Chris say Matt had a book coming out?

Reece Coren

Josh literally never misses. love when he's on
