Now, here's Terminally Online.

Speaker 10 Welcome to Terminale Online, the Crooked Subscription Show, live from Crooked Cohn.

Speaker 10 I'm Elijah Cohn.

Speaker 13 I'm Jon Favreau.

Speaker 14 I'm Dan Pfeiffer.

Speaker 15 I'm Tommy Vitor.

Speaker 16 I'm John Lovitt.

Speaker 3 No Barack Obama coming out.

Speaker 4 No, Barack Obama.

Speaker 11 All right, you guys want to play a game?

Speaker 17 Yeah, sure.

Speaker 10 All right, let's do it.

Speaker 10 We're going to do a blind rankings.

Speaker 19 You're unfamiliar with how blind rankings work.

Speaker 10 I'm going to give you five things. You'll have to rank them as they come, but you don't know what's coming next.
So be careful to leave that one or five spot open.

Speaker 10 What we are going to be ranking is the most online politicians of 2025.

Speaker 14 I have some questions. And for those who watch the show or are familiar with Elijah's work, you know that that he hasn't often hasn't thought of all the rules here.

Speaker 22 So let's hash it out. Are we

Speaker 14 each ranking them or are we ranking them collectively? Consensus.

Speaker 3 Consensus. I was going to ask that for an eye.

Speaker 14 Look, some of these people are Tommy Lion fans. And one of Elijah told me himself, he said, bully me.
He said, one of the appeals of the show is when we pick on him.

Speaker 17 So

Speaker 14 people came all the way from all across the country and we're not going to pick on them.

Speaker 3 Watch Elijah get bullied in person.

Speaker 24 Let it begin.

Speaker 13 We got 38 minutes.

Speaker 10 I think it's a killer segment. I think that you you guys are going to love it.

Speaker 12 Okay.

Speaker 4 We'll let the audience judge.

Speaker 20 All right.

Speaker 10 First politician, kind of the pace car here.

Speaker 10 President Donald J. Trump, the old man,

Speaker 10 may have lost a couple miles per hour, but he still got his fastball.

Speaker 10 Throwing out all caps, truths, posting AI videos, dumping shit on Harry Sisson, which is just like a deeply online thing to know who that is.

Speaker 9 Instant classic.

Speaker 26 Are we docking points for only posting on his dumb little little tiny corner of the internet?

Speaker 27 You can slice that either way.

Speaker 10 I mean, he's so online he got banned and did his own platforms.

Speaker 14 And are we one to five here? Is that what it is?

Speaker 10 No, I mean, you're putting him in a one-to-five spot.

Speaker 14 No, I understand how the game works. Are there five people?

Speaker 4 I'm saying you're not like ranking him like a rating of one to five.

Speaker 28 I get his ass, Dan.

Speaker 14 I just want to know how many people.

Speaker 18 I just want to know how many people.

Speaker 3 I feel like we can't go wrong with a three, but

Speaker 3 do we want a two, though?

Speaker 9 I think a two.

Speaker 20 I think a two.

Speaker 13 I mean, that's a lot of people left. Love it.

Speaker 7 So here's, look, I don't want to get too ahead of Elijah, but,

Speaker 8 you know, look, we've battled before, and I've studied his moves.

Speaker 8 So we know we have JD Vance coming, right?

Speaker 30 Leave the number one

Speaker 21 open.

Speaker 6 There's another super online person that we need to be aware of.

Speaker 27 I think three is right.

Speaker 8 So I think we get to deduct points for Trump because he is super online, but only in his little sandbox.

Speaker 8 He's almost like, remember in the office when when they gave Creed a Word document to write into?

Speaker 29 Like, that's basically what he's doing now.

Speaker 3 And also to the JD Vance point, like, you can't be the most online politician if all you're doing is posting without replying to anyone.

Speaker 24 Right. Right.

Speaker 32 There's been no Trump reply.

Speaker 13 That's a good point to anyone.

Speaker 27 Right, right. No receiving.
No replying.

Speaker 4 Which makes me, that's why I. Two or three.

Speaker 14 That's why I like it. Before, before we commit to three.

Speaker 4 Or two.

Speaker 14 Or two. Sorry.
Before we commit to two or three, would you say that Gavin Newsom is more online than Donald Trump?

Speaker 25 Yeah, it's a staff thing for him.

Speaker 14 I think it's a staff?

Speaker 15 Wait a minute.

Speaker 21 Do you think when he's posting from his account, Gavin?

Speaker 3 Like, obviously, there's the Gavin Newsom press office account that's wild, but

Speaker 3 I feel like Newsom himself is posting from him sometimes.

Speaker 20 No?

Speaker 14 I also think he's deeply familiar with the online discourse.

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 6 Yeah,

Speaker 6 I think three is right.

Speaker 20 Three for Trump. Three.
Yeah.

Speaker 28 All right.

Speaker 10 Donald Trump, he's the pace card. We'll start at three.
Okay. Next politician, Zoron Mamdani.

Speaker 11 A lot of ink has been spilled about how he gets it.

Speaker 10 It's a new kind of campaign, the best digital campaign ever run. Clearly, he gets it.
If you've seen his old posts, like they're pretty peak lib posting. You know who we forgot?

Speaker 18 Graham Plattner.

Speaker 10 He's on my honorable mentions. Yeah.

Speaker 33 Oh, yeah. Reddit is a platform.

Speaker 22 He's a

Speaker 22 boy.

Speaker 14 If you're a Reddit poster, you're deeply online.

Speaker 7 He's an inspirational story of what you can do after being too online.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 15 Also, maybe, maybe.

Speaker 3 He could be on the list.

Speaker 22 Wait a minute.

Speaker 20 Zoron's really like an online is like, it's like a sickness.

Speaker 19 We're also, we're doing 2025, right?

Speaker 21 This is not like all time.

Speaker 3 Okay, that's good to know.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I think if you know if we were going to work Graham Platiner into this, it's, you know, your scandal's coming to light year.

Speaker 23 Right, you're right. That's important.
But he's not online now.

Speaker 8 He's like, you can't, you can't be online.

Speaker 29 There's no single out there with the oysters.

Speaker 20 I don't think.

Speaker 34 I don't know where they come from.

Speaker 30 I'm not an an oyster farmer.

Speaker 7 I guess close to land.

Speaker 8 So I think Zoron seems too well adjusted and he's instinctively not defensive, which is a fundamentally not online thing.

Speaker 30 I would say four or five.

Speaker 2 Totally.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Because he's also not, he's not replying either.

Speaker 22 No.

Speaker 27 I don't think.

Speaker 14 I think he, like Gavin, he's very familiar with the discourse, but he's not a poster.

Speaker 19 Now, are we comfortable?

Speaker 13 What do we think?

Speaker 22 Four or five?

Speaker 14 I think four in a case of five is like Joe Biden.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I think there's going to be

Speaker 30 i think there's gonna be i think we've got one i think we've got one person whose iphone screen text is so large

Speaker 34 you can only see a few words at a time present company accepted uh

Speaker 32 how many different places are you gonna go after chuck schumer today

Speaker 23 this is this is my last panel

Speaker 21 today

Speaker 15 i've hit it at every panel and in every interview so what where do you message of the day

Speaker 10 where do we land four or five four four four all right so donald trump three Ramon Donny Ford.

Speaker 28 Next up, here's the curveball one.

Speaker 8 All right. Nancy Mace.

Speaker 10 Nancy Mace, a person who is deeply online in a way that's kind of uncomfortable to talk about.

Speaker 10 It's kind of just an excuse to talk about the Charleston airport thing. Does anyone want to try to explain what's going on there?

Speaker 3 Can I say something embarrassing?

Speaker 21 Sure.

Speaker 3 I have no idea what the Charleston airport thing is.

Speaker 17 Oh, dude.

Speaker 22 No,

Speaker 22 what? Are you okay? How dare you?

Speaker 21 That's a lie, John.

Speaker 36 What are you talking about?

Speaker 32 It's been a busy week.

Speaker 26 Oh, man.

Speaker 3 And I've been

Speaker 3 trying to just do a lot of, I've been, my, my, you know, I've just been deep in the precinct county swing.

Speaker 19 Why?

Speaker 14 You've been posting like a motherfucker the whole time.

Speaker 32 Yeah, not about Nancy Mace.

Speaker 36 You use your phone at the urinal.

Speaker 19 There surely was time.

Speaker 3 I've seen you at the urinal use your phone. Let's not.

Speaker 22 What are you guys trying to tell us?

Speaker 25 So Nancy Mace showed up at the Charleston airport, had some sort of police escort that was either delayed or like expected her to show up in a different car than the one she arrived in.

Speaker 25 And she berated these cops. And then it became a story.

Speaker 33 I think a reporter at Wired reported it out and was like fired four days later because the HR guy at Condé Nass is a huge asshole.

Speaker 22 Different online story.

Speaker 13 But different online story, but we're connecting the dots.

Speaker 31 And then she posted a video about it, about how disappointed she was in the police. And like every politician, Republican and Democrat in South Carolina, basically weighed in to say she's a moron.

Speaker 26 Ah, so the gubernatorial race is going well.

Speaker 7 Going great.

Speaker 7 Tim Scott

Speaker 28 posted about it.

Speaker 13 Tim Scott, yeah.

Speaker 8 Tim Scott put out a statement basically saying, I'm always nice to the police. If you're going to invoke my name, don't pretend I won't say anything.

Speaker 24 Did she invoke him?

Speaker 7 He said, like, you're always nicer to Tim Scott, something like that. Or Tim Scott would never happen to Tim Scott, something to that effect.

Speaker 34 And he's like, actually, I'm always quite kind to these police officers who work very hard and do a good job.

Speaker 27 And the closest thing he would, he doesn't curse, but he basically said, you can go fuck yourself.

Speaker 19 She's really going through something, huh?

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 10 There are some bipartisan letters. Lindsey Graham also made a statement that are just like, hey, we really like the staff at the Charleston airport.

Speaker 28 She's posted about it hundreds of times. Yeah.

Speaker 10 Real Streisand effect.

Speaker 28 I think she's got to be too. I think it's why we let him open.

Speaker 4 That was the right call.

Speaker 34 Even also, like, she as a person kind of seems to capture the essence of the personality disorder of the the internet.

Speaker 30 Like, if the internet had a personality disorder, it would be the same thing that whatever Nancy Mace is walking around with, I think.

Speaker 37 Yeah, it's real main character energy.

Speaker 20 Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 10 Yeah, even this conversation has the meta energy of like, well, we're laughing about it, but this feels uncomfortable.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 15 We really think he's going through it.

Speaker 10 Okay, next up.

Speaker 20 I don't know about y'all.

Speaker 30 We have five and one. We only have five and one.

Speaker 2 Is that right?

Speaker 28 We have five and one.

Speaker 10 So it's two, Nancy Mace, three, Donald J. Trump, and four, Zoran Montani.
Next up, Gavin Newsom. I don't like y'all's list where you got to slot him at one or five.

Speaker 27 I just think, like,

Speaker 31 to John's point earlier, it's the staff that's posting the fun stuff. Gavin's tweets are normal.

Speaker 14 I think it's fair to say that Gavin is less online than Zoran.

Speaker 15 Yeah.

Speaker 30 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Like, Gavin couldn't name a bunch of TikTok influencers.

Speaker 26 No. Yeah.

Speaker 13 Also, yeah, we're biased towards, we're talking a lot of Twitter right now.

Speaker 3 And like, Zoran's doing videos all over the place.

Speaker 9 That's an analytical error of our agedness.

Speaker 32 Which makes me feel better about because we're old.

Speaker 3 Newsome is five then. Yeah.
Okay. Well, have Newsom is five.

Speaker 19 Better be a good one.

Speaker 10 No, I mean, y'all know who's coming.

Speaker 38 There's a clear number one.

Speaker 13 Let's hear it.

Speaker 32 JD Van. There we go.

Speaker 13 I thought you were going to screw us there. Number one.

Speaker 19 You're going to just whip it.

Speaker 22 You got to change it right there.

Speaker 4 Chuck Schumer.

Speaker 26 America's number one poster.

Speaker 31 America's number one reply guy, unless it's an actual Nazi talking shit about his wife and kids.

Speaker 25 In which case, zip it.

Speaker 3 Not even close. Yeah.
Not even close.

Speaker 11 Dip shit.

Speaker 26 Recalling John that? I'm a dip shit.

Speaker 4 I think it's just a reference.

Speaker 14 If you're the vice president of the United States and you call John Favreau a dip shit on a social media platform, you're automatically number one.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 20 That's fine.

Speaker 17 Yeah. And that's fair.

Speaker 10 All right. So our list.

Speaker 10 Number one, J.D. Vance.
Number two, Nancy Mace. Number three,

Speaker 10 Donald J. Trump.
Number four, Zoran Mondani. Number five, Gavin Newsome.

Speaker 4 I think we fresh pretty good. I think we did great.

Speaker 24 I think we did great.

Speaker 5 I think that's actually pretty close to right.

Speaker 10 Should we go through a couple honorable mentions?

Speaker 4 Sure, sure. Yeah.

Speaker 32 All right, Grant Plattner.

Speaker 10 Thoughts about him already. It's like...
P.

Speaker 17 Hustle.

Speaker 10 He's posting in the past, you know?

Speaker 38 I mean, on Reddit.

Speaker 14 Yeah, I think we were doing this in 2011 or when he was posting, he would win.

Speaker 18 For sure.

Speaker 24 Also, Reddit, look,

Speaker 27 the people that are posting over there on Reddit,

Speaker 8 we need them.

Speaker 13 We need them because Google is broken.

Speaker 27 ChatGPT hallucinates.

Speaker 27 Reddit is the place where you go and it's like, is this right?

Speaker 5 I don't know.

Speaker 5 But it came up first

Speaker 7 from and was expressed with confidence by someone who says they're from there.

Speaker 36 That's Reddit.

Speaker 21 So agreed.

Speaker 10 All right, next honorable mention, based Mike Lee.

Speaker 12 Oh,

Speaker 22 that's a good one.

Speaker 14 He's basically just like JD Vance's protege online.

Speaker 10 A guy who is constantly getting fooled and posting even harder because of it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, if he was in the original rankings, he would definitely be above Zoron and Gavin.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I think he'd be above Trump.

Speaker 17 Yeah, I think so too.

Speaker 8 He also, like, doesn't, he doesn't, it's not about frequency or volume.

Speaker 34 It is about like, it's about he posed with the kind of adult but incorrect energy of someone who's like

Speaker 34 going to respond to a text with his social security number.

Speaker 10 Yeah, he he did that thing where he was like posting those horrible memes after those shootings and was like, what?

Speaker 6 But then he got confronted by Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, and then he like deleted it.

Speaker 13 Turtled.

Speaker 9 Tough.

Speaker 10 All right, next honorable mention. This is a real deep cut.

Speaker 8 Valentina Gomez.

Speaker 10 Valentina Gomez.

Speaker 17 Oh, man.

Speaker 7 Is that like the Secretary of State candidate somewhere or something?

Speaker 10 Yes, who always posts likes with guns.

Speaker 3 She's going with guns.

Speaker 10 Are you guys aware aware of Valentina Gomez?

Speaker 14 This is why we needed multimedia here because we got to put the pictures up.

Speaker 38 I, you know, I'm working back to realize what would be better next year.

Speaker 6 Can I tell you something?

Speaker 7 I don't know who that is.

Speaker 13 Oh, boy.

Speaker 10 She ran for Secretary of State in Missouri and came in six out of six. Then she has moved to Texas to primary Dan Crenshaw, I believe.
And she posts these like insane

Speaker 10 acted-out snuff films.

Speaker 14 She's the one who went to Israel and cheered the bombs dropping in Gaza, right?

Speaker 10 Yes. She was too bloodthirsty for them to air it.

Speaker 4 Oh god.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Okay. That was a fun light.

Speaker 23 So she's

Speaker 38 way to lighten it up.

Speaker 19 So she's a 2028 frontrunner, huh?

Speaker 17 She is.

Speaker 4 Cool.

Speaker 10 And then last one, I mean, I just feel like we should throw her out there, AOC.

Speaker 20 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 10 Again, maybe kind of lost her fastball, like was the online darling, but

Speaker 3 I don't know if it's like lost her fastball or just like was doing more productive things.

Speaker 32 I think she's ahead of the game, too.

Speaker 14 She did an Instagram Live to drop gossip about Marjorie Trump.

Speaker 3 Yeah, she broke the internet. Oh, yeah, that is that's very cool.

Speaker 14 When she wants to break the internet, she can break the internet.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 10 For our outro, we have something special for you all. This is the Crooked Con Straw Poll.

Speaker 15 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 22 A straw poll at Crooked Con.

Speaker 10 The question was for the convention goers,

Speaker 10 who are you excited to see run in 2028? And I have the results.

Speaker 10 I'd love to read them to you all right now this is big news huge news there's a big asterisk before as i'm reading this we'll get to at the end wait you i mean it seems like you're shitting on your own news why don't you you're gonna tell us the asterisk after yes okay

Speaker 10 anderson clayton attendee speaker and AOC both got seven percent all right anderson yeah anderson wes more and gavin newsom both got 15

Speaker 3 Right on.

Speaker 10 Andy Bashir clocked in at a solid 22%. And the winner with 31% of the vote was Pete Budigej.
Do you want to? Wow.

Speaker 9 Look at that. You ready to guess what the he should have come to CrookedCon?

Speaker 35 What is the asterisk?

Speaker 10 There were 13 votes.

Speaker 24 How did that happen?

Speaker 15 What?

Speaker 36 What the fuck?

Speaker 19 Now that's incredible. Now that's the best.

Speaker 36 You showed up at this conference and none of you voted?

Speaker 10 So...

Speaker 14 We forgot to ask, didn't we?

Speaker 10 Well, we, you know.

Speaker 8 Back to the first question. What could go better next year?

Speaker 10 Well, we'll place the QR codes a little more strategically next year.

Speaker 10 But we want to increase that sample size producer. Caroline Reston is out in the audience.
She has a mic.

Speaker 12 Incredible.

Speaker 10 We're going to do some real polling, live polling here at CrookedCon to close things up.

Speaker 28 Don, you're looking a little disapproving, a little apprehensive.

Speaker 17 You know what, though?

Speaker 32 You were right to save the asterisk.

Speaker 26 Love it.

Speaker 24 You nailed the asterisk.

Speaker 19 You were right. You nailed the asterisk.
You were right.

Speaker 9 Thank you. This is the worst poll ever.

Speaker 14 After this, I think you should sit down with love and explain what a punchline is.

Speaker 22 Let's get some data.

Speaker 10 Caroline, are you out there?

Speaker 39 Eliza, I am out here.

Speaker 20 All All right.

Speaker 28 Go ahead and raise your hand.

Speaker 10 If you want to share with Caroline who you want to see run in 2028, who are you excited about seeing run in 2028?

Speaker 22 Oh, stressful. Okay.

Speaker 39 What's your name and who do you want to run in 2028?

Speaker 40 My name is Valerie McGinley, and I would like to see Chris Murphy.

Speaker 22 There we go. Chris Murphy on the board.

Speaker 14 I will say my interview on this stage one hour ago launched that candidacy.

Speaker 4 There you go. Okay, okay.

Speaker 22 Who else?

Speaker 39 Name and who you want to run?

Speaker 41 My name is Zoe.

Speaker 41 I would love for Andy Bashir to run because he is a Democratic governor in a red state, and I think he has a lot of unifying messages and just a really good outlook on what problems need to be addressed.

Speaker 14 Is your last name Bashir?

Speaker 17 I don't Bashir heads here.

Speaker 10 I have the raw vote totals. Andy Bashir has officially pulled even with Deep Booty Judge.

Speaker 22 Great gosh, Russell.

Speaker 4 Who's next?

Speaker 10 Okay.

Speaker 36 Stop the vote.

Speaker 39 All right. Tell me your name and who you want to see run.
I'll pass the mic.

Speaker 21 That's dangerous.

Speaker 34 That's crazy.

Speaker 10 My name is Bert. I would like to see AOC and John Osoff on a joint ticket.

Speaker 19 Okay.

Speaker 12 Oh,

Speaker 36 either way.

Speaker 13 That's cool. Cool, cool.

Speaker 10 AOC doubles her vote total.

Speaker 17 All right. Name and who?

Speaker 42 Hi, I'm Shay.

Speaker 17 I would like Gretchen Whitmer to run because Gretchen Whitmer enters the

Speaker 42 Big Gretchen. Because I want us to do that song, Big Gretsch like all the time.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 32 Good as reason as any.

Speaker 18 That's a great pitch.

Speaker 17 All right, I'm going to go a little bit in the back.

Speaker 39 Maybe someone will say Bethany Frankl.

Speaker 39 Okay, name in person.

Speaker 43 Sean, and I knocked doors for Pete in 2020, but I want AOC to run this time. Oh.

Speaker 22 Switching roots.

Speaker 32 Shivving Pete on the way to the AOC.

Speaker 15 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 38 One more AOC.

Speaker 39 All right. We have probably time for one more.

Speaker 20 All right. All right.

Speaker 39 Name and who you want to run for.

Speaker 31 My name's David.

Speaker 3 I hope Corey Booker runs again.

Speaker 29 Corey Booker.

Speaker 23 Corey Booker.

Speaker 22 There we go.

Speaker 19 Teledisu on the board.

Speaker 39 Okay, one more, one more, one more.

Speaker 17 One more.

Speaker 40 I'm Lindsey Moran, and I want J.D.

Speaker 37 Pritzker to run.

Speaker 23 Pritzker.

Speaker 27 I like, we'll say this again.

Speaker 8 All I want is to go for an insane meal with J.B.

Speaker 29 Pritzker, and at the end of it, for him to be like, you did eat a lot.

Speaker 22 When Tommy and I interviewed

Speaker 28 him at the convention, he told us, I think this was on the podcast.

Speaker 4 Yes, it was.

Speaker 9 Okay, good.

Speaker 14 That, I mean, I don't think he would care if we showed this, but that he had just finished a steakhouse crawl.

Speaker 6 You just don't understand how much that means to me.

Speaker 17 Was the crawl part literal?

Speaker 14 Yeah, no, they went from steakhouse to steakhouse.

Speaker 24 Like, no, no, like a bar crawl, but like just eating meats at every location.

Speaker 14 Chicago, a place not exactly known for a small portion.

Speaker 23 No, that's awesome.

Speaker 8 Yeah, so you need some hedonism on our side.

Speaker 25 And I think they did, I think they might have paired it with bourbon.

Speaker 20 Yeah, that's true. They did.

Speaker 22 Even better.

Speaker 32 Didn't he win like a $1.4 million association?

Speaker 23 Oh, Elijah.

Speaker 38 We just,

Speaker 8 we gotta, we gotta go gambling with JV Priscilla.

Speaker 34 I gotta just hit the fucking tables.

Speaker 18 And you know what?

Speaker 12 I love a winner.

Speaker 32 He donated it to charity, too.

Speaker 34 I know. What a fucking pussy.

Speaker 21 Under two.

Speaker 4 The best part is keep the money.

Speaker 10 You won it.

Speaker 4 According to the IRS, he's only won and never lost.

Speaker 28 So it's cool.

Speaker 10 You can see in his face, he was so annoyed about giving it to charity. He was so stoked about winning.
He was like, yeah, yeah, I did.

Speaker 14 So annoyed. That's couch cushion money to him.

Speaker 10 I know, I know, but still, winning feels great.

Speaker 6 But

Speaker 8 if you lose, you give the money to the casino, but you win, you give it to charity.

Speaker 27 It's like, I mean, I know it's like good, but I know.

Speaker 9 But where's the thrill?

Speaker 13 No. Where's the thrill?

Speaker 10 All right. Should we call it? Should we just say, how about this?

Speaker 26 Only Pete.

Speaker 10 voters and only Andy Bashir voters stick your hands up and then the next one wins the crooked con straw straw poll. We see there's a hand over there.

Speaker 10 That's, you know, that's the tie. Someone asked me.

Speaker 34 Wait, I feel like you have to call it a little more clearly there.

Speaker 13 What kind of thing is this?

Speaker 19 That's the most confusing explanation I've ever heard.

Speaker 10 I'm throwing things out. I see we're at the zeros.

Speaker 23 Do you want to?
