Lovett and Jason Concepcion Recap This Truly Insane Week | Lovett or Leave It

[@theresapartheymuller9120]

Jon Lovett you have made my morning. I have been so sad since Wednesday. You have made me happy again. Thank you all at Pod Save America. It really helped over the last four years. Wish me luck when I have an interview on Monday.

[@podsaveamerica]

Good luck! Fingers crossed over here for you :)

[@kimberlysmith258]

this week is so f'd up it seems like its been a month long... Thank God for Georgia!! We love you

[@alanblanes2876]

Georgia has done a great deed. This is largely thanks to Greg Palast and Stacey Abrams challenging the real election fraud.

[@shylanambiar4316]

Georgia loves you back. From Atlanta.

[@saral1672]

More Jason! You guys are great together. The sass is amazing.

[@ashlingandhurricanes6892]

I LOVE JASON CONCEPCION! Great catch by crooked media, guys.

[@kellylewis7190]

Only on Levett or Leave It can you get a discussion about a Treasonous riot at the capitol followed by an insightful comment about Jack Reacher. Inspiring!

[@routeddown66]

I laughed more at "coup coup" than trump being permanently banned from Twitter. God, I needed that.

[@edricnavigator]

In Trump voice: "China china china china china china, COUP COUP!"

[@rneumeye]

😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😭

[@doesntno]

And really, it's not that bad of a joke because it can have a double meaning. There's coup-coup but also coo-coo as in crazy.

[@tinkerkoko]

I thought the Trump Train joke was gold 💯👏 someone needs a raise

[@slypear]

Only after hearing the joke did I scroll down to the comments to add this sentiment. The delivery was good, if not in fact cute.

[@intrepidtomato]

Sweatysburg got me. And Dumkirk. AHAHA! I love you Jon Lovett

[@mariannerady1137]

I was screaming out loud YES! YES! at his last comment. That song is a hit! I always keep singing it after I listen to a new episode

[@johnedwards1968]

Due to travel restrictions, the United States had to organize the coup at home! - There you go.

[@wohnai]

Jon give Ronan my thanks for his reporting in the New Yorker this week.

[@swiperthefox6]

This was so fun; what electric chemistry! Gonna need lots more of these two working together now that Crooked snagged Jason, please and thanks.

[@zombiejock]

[@VermilionNovak]

Thank you Jon. I started this video while crying as I do the dishes and your jokes made me feel better. Keep up the good work

[@podsaveamerica]

So glad to hear this helped brighten up your day! :)

[@marthavillegas6250]

Thanks Lovett and Jason!

[@IAmThankfulToday]

Dang, this Lovett guy has charm and wit like no one else on the scene. The 2064 Ossoff comment was spectacular. He gets the point across without any anger, grievance, self-pity, lazy conspiracy theories. Why can’t the other side do this. In fact why can’t they get off their lazy asses and Facebook ads and conspiracies and get out there and work their asses off like Stacy Abrams does. It wouldn’t even take 10 years because there are a lot of decent and sound ideas on the right that would appeal to a lot of people.

[@OCM048]

Clicked so fast when I saw this on my timeline 😁

[@kayleyhodson7079]

You guys are such wholesome millennial nerds and I for one am HERE for it

[@shylanambiar4316]

I, too, am looking for another term for Trump, but I prefer that it would be a prison term.

[@Frommerman]

Trump Train has no brakes and is headed directly for ADX Florence.

[@melissawatkins7332]

The song is so good I walk around randomly singing "lovett or leave it it's lovett or leave it.... Straight shooter r r r " lol

[@nicolepsy]

It's always stuck in my head for at least 2 days everytime I hear it😁

[@jrromman]

Two of my favorite people! Wow!

[@emmajean8631]

The Alec Baldwin bit is SPOT ON. Nothing sticks to that damn dude and it's about time it starts.

[@pavanatanaya]

Did you notice how Lindsay Graham pretended to have a spine? That must have been exhausting

[@pattygould8240]

To me it looked more like he was still stroking Trump while making excuses for not doing Trump's bidding.

[@markd.9538]

I think he gave himself whiplash with how fast he about-faced. At least it was in the right direction (on this occasion).

[@pockethands44]

WHAT??????? no, you gotta be KIDDING! just had a stiffy

[@pepinopolice6928]

He's been pretending he's not gay his whole life. He's good at make believe

[@rustyb2692]

I missed Lovett😷😷😷

[@shawnwales696]

I know that the House is going to have their hands full the first year or so, but can they please do some special bills to make well those who Trump really hurt? McCabe & Vindman come to mind.

[@Tina-qp7py]

And Fiona Hill, Marie Yovanovitch, maybe Peter Strok, too.

[@jeannefoster5594]

Nice, thoughtful idea. Thank you.

[@enochroot9438]

Parler just got kicked off amazon web servers...I guess they'll all have to go back to wearing pillowcases & burning crosses at meet ups instead

[@themorales6]

OMG, I was legit making myself some avocado toast as I started this video. And by the way, I’m 52 years old. So I’m not sure what that means ...,

[@johnedwards1968]

Millennial at heart?

[@judykinsman3258]

No, 74 at heart. You think heart reserved for the young??

[@arturoherrera1386]

I like what I hear !!...I was working a drag show last night and my friend told me about this channel and how awesome it was ;)

[@podsaveamerica]

Tell your friend we say thanks for spreading the word! :)

[@sandeesandwich2180]

Not sure I will ever forgive Lovett for putting the image of Lyndsey Graham shirtless in my head.

[@mahjie9903]

But somehow we know it’s true 😂😉

[@gamarsh1960]

shirtless hillbillies...shirtless hillbillies...bet he had tobacco juice running down his chin 😬

[@shawnwales696]

Sad that your fears been vindicated. We need to be careful for more violence between now and the 20th. I sure hope that the Capital Police will have have upped their game by then.

[@Kit-se3zs]

I'm afraid the violence will be ongoing throughout the Biden admin, unless Biden and all Dems have the spine to crack down HARD on their criminal behaviors. Some of these thugs they've arrested are getting just a year, probably less in prison!! Unacceptable.

[@redkat82]

I use your theme song to get out other songs that stick in my head. Love it! 😛

[@darkroastordeath]

The fact that “Beer Belly Putsch” didn’t make it in is a damn crime

[@maitland72]

Another great team-up! Jason might be my new favorite!

[@podsaveamerica]

We'll have a lot more with Jason in the coming weeks and months!

[@ginao6810]

Jason!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@commonsense320]

A friend of mine summed up 2020 perfectly, Jumanji. Every solution is a trap every question is a riddle that can't be solved.

[@VictoriaKnits]

Thanks for making me laugh today. 👍🏻

[@podsaveamerica]

Any time!

[@mareera869]

Great to see this. There's much going on. Things are getting Interesting . . . . .

[@TwelveFeetTravels]

Heartbroken for the end of Binge Mode but so glad to see Jason at Crooked!

[@IngerWinkelmann]

I had not heard of Jason Concepcion before, but I already love him! :D (Lovett too, goes without saying, but still saying it)

[@IngerWinkelmann]

And it really is the catchiest of pod themes... It gets stuck in my head for days sometimes. So thanks for that.

[@arielpurkeypile9911]

How is everyone in comments not just cracking up at 26:28??? That's the best joke of the year so far!! Don't despair, I see you working

[@siener]

It is said that on the day Ossoff & Warnock won McConnell's throat pouch deflated three sizes.

[@Kit-se3zs]

I'm so here for listening to Jason talk politics! Got kinda bored with Binge Mode after GoT and HP. Look forward to more with Jason!!! 👏

[@Kit-se3zs]

Uh, nevermind, I guess? Since I'd heard he was hired by Crooked Media, I was under the impression he'd be on camera on a regular basis. Now disappointed to see two weeks later that he isn't going to be?

[@glowingdiane]

I love how you have on guests that are new to me but oh so good! Also folks of color 👍🏾

Happy to have you, Nathan!

[@cherylharms9124]

You are going to love these guys.

[@LauraVan]

Jason Concepcion?! No way! Will miss you on Binge Mode buddy, but happy to see you here!

[@marietailor3100]

So as someone who grew up bilingual, the one thing I will say in Hilaria (Hillary?) Baldwin's defense is that it actually DOES happen sometimes that I forget a word in English but it comes to me in French. I even joke to a lot of people that the only language I actually speak fluently is "Franglais" precisely because I'll forget words in the other language and find it easier to speak in both of them. That said... I certainly haven't told anyone I was born in France when I was born in California.

[@andersdrew9523]

Giving Jason and A+ on his background/bookshelf. Top notch, love the prominent Emmy placement, the nerd level of the other items on the shelves, and the Connect framed logo. Lovett, a solid B. It’s pretty bland. The fireplace adds some character, but I’m also pretty sure it’s still not your place, so this is a solid choice for a house that isn’t yours.

[@JMM33RanMA]

Oh, so its the lighting and not product that makes Jon Lovett look like a teen!

[@mspitstoptoyou]

THE McRIB REBELLION!

[@michelevroomankennett217]

Lovett's sports stories are familiar to me. I finished a whole season of play. No baskets. One technical foul. Wow. Anyhoo...This is an absolutely perfect monologue -- quite the palate cleanser before we all digest the technically foul behavior of Capitol insurrectionists. (Which recalls another familiar thing: the stomachache I had from grade 4 'til age 30.)

[@andrewmastin4312]

Lovett saved the best joke for last - Robert Kraft “got off twice.”

[@Thomas_H_Sears]

Jon - Shakespeare is like rap. Teaching a High School class on Macbeth, I had three of the girls do the "double, double, toil and trouble" as a rap.

[@telectronix1368]

Fun fact: the 'cursed play'/'you can't say the name Macbeth' came from the part of the play where the witches recite a section of rhyming verse. It was (is) unlike the rest of the play or any of his other work and the passage was considered to be a real spell that had been added in to the play.

[@krinkle721]

FINALLY TOGETHER!!!!!

[@shirleenrodriguez3355]

I have come up with the title for his new social media Traitor Trump Talk.

[@ritapatterson1047]

[@GrannysWanderingSpirit]

I edited this comment, because I have the full list now. If XXXXX is impeached, resulting in removal, he loses some things the American people need him to lose. Can you imagine he could leave now with full pension 200+K/year, protection for life, a MILLION DOLLAR A YEAR travel allowance, and the ability to run again . I almost had a heart attack. No matter what else they do, they must impeach, as well.

As a resident of WV, I love all the ideas from 15:10 on.

That Jack Reacher scene is basically what happens in every Reacher book. The thing is, Reacher is a giant. A brick shit-house, and everyone wants to fight him.

[@mahjie9903]

Really? A giant 😅! I wonder how high the lifts are in Tom’s shoes then🤣

Maybe I’m old and this is someone famous that I don’t know but did Lovett make a comment about Batman’s nemesis Ra’s Al Ghul? I must admit I laughed out loud when I heard it...and pictured it!!!

haha nope you're right - he was talking about the Batman villain. :)

[@jennifers7412]

I think as climate change gets bad having children will start to be seen a being cruel to the child. Also it's downright bizarre that we force old and terminal people to die natural deaths. I for one want to wake up one day and decide that this is probably my last good day and have the doctor come put me down in my own bed while Im surrounded by my loved ones.

[@ecbh8487]

@Jennifer-me too. I want to decide when I'm ready to go. I don't want anyone wiping my backside, and abusing me in a nursing home. I recently discussed this with a nun-YIKES. Apparently some religions find that a mortal sin akin to abortion. I don't care. I hope I'm competent enough to make the decision.

[@leisastalnaker3790]

I’m from WVA and I don’t like Joe Manchin. What a waste of a suit. They could do much better.

[@sandrakicklighter2735]

I think the Manchin thing got a big hole punched into it. His potential threat of perhaps wandering over to the other side of the aisle looks a lot less scary after Murkowski's announcement that she is also considering a wander over the aisle in the opposite direction. So looks like Manchin doesn't get to say well if you want to keep the majority seat...

[@helemaalnicks6215]

I don't believe WV could do better. Trump won the state handily, there's no reason to assume any other Dem would do better.

[@AnexoRialto]

Manchin will be the last Dem elected in W Virginia for a long long time. So with a 50-50 Senate split, send Manchin lots of love. If Murkowski and Collins occasionally find a spine, less.
