The White House July 4th UFC bash is coming together great, provided someone remembers to start building a stadium back in 2022. Cops in Ohio are suing the rapper Afroman (remember Afroman?) for negatively impacting their self-esteem. Then we get into the ridiculous verdict in an “antifa” case where part of the evidence for a terrorist conspiracy was possession of a feminist movie review.

Good evening and welcome to weekly skews. I'm Mark. That's Corey and Drew, Corey Forrester and Drew Morgan. Trey is out of pocket on the world's worst spring break ski vacation I gather from a texter head. Do you guys know what he's up? He's skiing, but there's no snow? I have been in a white people sanctuary for four days straight, and I don't know anything about the outside world, so I have forgotten. But yeah, that sounds like something Trey would do.

So you've been in your house in Chickamauga, Georgia. Yeah, he was going to get a ski lesson because he was going to be in Denver anyway. And then they emailed him and were like, oh, by the way, might not be able to have a lesson. For some reason, we're not sure quite exactly what. There's no snow in March anymore. Man, I just did this with my father-in-law. He was like, man, it was 70 yesterday. And now it's snowing.

And you guys can, I don't know if I can get my camera. all the way out the window. I can't. But it is downpored sleet and snow here after being 70 yesterday. Same, same. Tennessee weather. I'm like, no. I don't think so. Yeah, we're going to keep pretending. It's fine. It's like 90 degrees here in L.A. in March. And it's supposed to be, it's like record heat.

It's like not like the thing about like weather always changes, but we're always setting records because that's what a fucking record is. So, yeah. So before we get to the show, so. Corey, you said something earlier today about how, give us, I don't know why you're thinking about, we'll go with Jar Jar Binks in the brain, but tell us why you were thinking about Georgia Binks. Well, I was thinking about Jar Jor Binks

because I was on my ride home today, very long ride home, finishing my latest audiobook, which is the, get ready for it, the novelization of Star Wars episode three, Revenge of the Sith, just can't, yeah, I know.

The, without question, worst thing I could have possibly said right there. How do you read books that make you more illiterate? I know. I know. Is that required reading at the White Sanctuary? Yeah, if you're on your way back from it, yeah, to debrief. And whilst listening to it...

Corey was at a golf tournament, right? That's where you were this weekend. Yeah, I was at the Players' Championship this weekend. And I thought I was going to get shot and then didn't, which that don't hit. But anyways, so I was listening to it and I was sitting there thinking, about like he's really barely in the book but they do make a nod to they were like yeah Senator Jarjar gave a you know he furled his brow

and I was like oh right Georgia was a senator I was like and I remember thinking that was like at the time I was like why would they ever let this idiot be a senator and now that I'm an adult I'm like literally the most accurate thing George Lucas ever did was make a bumbling moron with no qualifications a senator with power

well Jarger was good though So, yeah. Jar Jar Jar Jar was good, though. So in my opinion, he probably, you know, only lasted one term or so. He had a pretty good heart. I could see him. I could always see him being, oh, missa, so sick at a deep state. Much and do-do they make for my.

Thank you for setting me up, Mark. That was a pre-planned bit. I can't. I have too much pride to let everybody think that was off the top. I suck. Well, the reason I thought it was Yeah, the reason I thought it was Kismet that you brought it up is I wanted to let you know that

that guy was a guy named Roland Tismet Who's running for a mayor of Paris's 19th Aaron Dissment whatever I would French do their city council districts He is the voice The French dub of the Sprequel He did the voice of French Jarjourbinks Get out of here

Yeah And his name's Kismet Tizmit That's Tismet But it is Kismet. I got it. I got it. So, but he's running, the party he's running, the running, the running with is

La France insoumese. My French is fucking terrible. Insumez, but they're like an eco-leftist party, right? So the request to have for you, Corey, is to do your best impression of Jarjord Banks saying in French Jarjord Bank saying we're going to kill the oligarchy to establish the socialist climate caliphate ruled by Greta Thurnberg. Oh. Oh, me's a French Jorja Binks, but me's a no liking to rape, especially of the environment.

We are going to crush the oligarchy and establish a place where Greta on Thunnenberg can rule forever, my soul. And then we will get back to the raping. All right. So I have a story story for Corey Drew, but for you, I wanted to talk about, I actually already talked to you. We texted about this a little bit. But the Big 12 trying out the LED glit. It's the basketball tournament season, which is the closest thing Drew has for religious holiday. So, like, the Big 12 took up their wood basketball floor for their tournament and instead tried playing on an LED glass floor.

Oh, God, Jesus. But then had to take that up and quit because kids keep getting hurt because they were playing basketball, fucking glass. One kid slipped into a split and entered his groin. another kid couldn't play because the LED the glass floor game a fucking migraine

dude cocaine came back and it took four months for dude what if we play

basketball on a TV yeah no no no we already play on TV no no no no

we literally play the game we play the fucking game dude we play it on the TV not on TV on a TV um

this is just part of the inshittification of everything that the internet's been talking about and it's also part of something a few people have talked about this where like the death of expertise and I'm sure we can segue with this easily into the Trump administration

but there's this weird thing of like just by being the thing getting the title whatever you're now the thing and people have to listen to you and you don't need a plan you don't need any qualifications and someone's son or nephew

you was definitely a man, got a job at the Big 12, and instead of just collecting checks and raising his hand every once in a while I'm being like, hey, why don't we also have a night where we invite the community out? Maybe the Boys and Girls Club, he was like, no, no, I got to have an idea. We are, you remember when we were in college

and you would, like, hear about Russia? Like, somebody had to show you a video, be like, look what's going on in Russia. It'd be like, dude's jumping cars off of, like, an abandoned building or whatever. I'm having a blast. we're that now, but we're not even having fun. You know what?

I long for a day, by the way, that when we hear of some brain dead scheme to add, you know, advertisements to a basketball floor and make people play on a TV, that our brains will allow us to think, perhaps it's someone's daughter that did it, not a boy. You know what I mean? Oh, sure. Hire more women guards. Yeah, dude. We keep talking about the straight of Hormuz.

What about the gay of Hormuz? So your uncle guest, your nephew guess is pretty good, Drew, but the commissioner of the Big 12 is currently, he came over. He was formerly chief operating officer of Jay-Z's Rock Nation. So, yeah, his qualification was using whatever the chief operating officer of a record label, or a vanity record label that doesn't produce anything, whatever. So they advertised this thing. Yeah.

Ah, man, I'm not going to make the joke I was about to make. Oh, my lord. Yeah. So, I'm lost. So the tournament court, let me read this. They was described as quote,

the first all-glass floor ever used for legitimate basketball competition in the history of the United States. I wonder why no one fucking, wow. Like, I played basketball in all kinds of services, all right.

I played a wood, asphalt, wooden barn floors, gravel, dirt. Never, you need two things to play basketball, to dribble a basketball on a surface. You need

preferably flat, but what's mandatory is feet can get traction. Yeah. Why don't we ice skate? Listen, I played donkey basketball in high school where I rode a donkey while playing basketball, and it was safer. We had less injuries than the

Big 12 tournament. Donkeys are great to paint, too. They go hard in the paint. They got that big ass. You think you can't box out if you're a donkey? I'm telling you. I have a donkey's parrot tears as ACL, you just shoot it. So. So, Tray is back, baby.

Dude, it's just so funny how, and you were touching on this, hey, man, we got a new idea. And no one's going, there's a reason. There's a reason it's new. And it hasn't been done before. Have we thought about that? I once was playing basketball on a barn, because they, like, when the, the unionies out of hay,

because you're feeding the hay. you had nothing to do with the empty barns, but we were basketball goals in the barn, right? We would play eight-foot goal, drinkards farm, great time, dunking on eight-foot goal. Ball bounced over the fence into the pasture. I hopped over it, ran to get the ball,

running back, dodging cow patties, ran smack head first into a lean-to, knocked myself fucking out, all right? Fell backwards into cow shit. And for the rest, when I came to, no one would guard me because I was covered in cow shits. I was dunking like a motherfucker. And I still had a better,

time that the kids did in the big 12th tournament. Yeah. By the way, a basketball goal in a barn sounds like a trap the KKK would set in a Looney Tunes cartoon from the 40s. Yeah. I do want to say I thought about donkey basketball

recently because I was listening to an NBA podcast or somebody mentioned they played donkey basketball in high school and other people had never heard of it. It's like apparently, apparently I thought it was a very common thing, especially in real communities, but even not. It's specifically like in like 10 towns being driven from tour. I'd never, yeah. I'd try to do a bit about it. And even well-red, this is when well-red was touring regularly. And even well-read fans, it was killing for like

30% of the audience. And everyone else was like, and I just, I never figured it out. My new thing though, that's like that, it's even more fun. My new closer is about, have you seen the gay Filipinos playing basketball? It's way better than the donkeys mark. Oh, hello. You don't know about this? So it goes viral every once in a while. Look, I got a sick out of them, I don't know what to tell you guys. I already told you what it is because it's gay Filipinos and they're playing basketball and it's in a league.

They got matching uniforms. Can you be just one or do you have to be both? You got to be both, but also raises the stakes and this is part of my bit. I won't do the little bit, but like, I don't think they're all gay. And that does make it way more compelling because it's one thing to get crossed up

by a dude with a high and tight and flip-flops. But like make him gay and then you're going to go home and look your dad in the eyes, your dad who fought the Americans in the jungle. I just, the stakes are too high. It's, but genuinely, the bit is about how it's genuinely

incredible. So like, Mark, they'll like shoot a three and then start vogueing and hit the splits. Nice. It's incredible. Yeah, I'll watch. I'll watch. I'll go find that when we're getting done with this. But yeah, like, it's just what we're going to talk about is like, it feels like everything is like this now. We're like, you got a, like, a little league basketball floor that doesn't work. It feels like

across every industry, politics, all of it. The world's best sales is. and Connors has a boatload of microchips to unload. And everybody in power is a fucking sucker. And so a bunch of kids have to sprain their groins and get fucking migraines. Anyway, they paid $185,000 to this Swiss company for this floor. And you don't know, you know what doesn't need fucking tech support? Wood.

Could I just say on top of wood being obvious choice there? If I was going to do it, if I was put in a position and you were like, Look, we got to make this glass basketball floor. I know it sucks. It's stupid, but Jayzie's nephew said it, and we think Beyonce's out of the Illuminati. We're doing this. And then somebody was like, all right, we got a bid for 185 grand.

I'd be like, absolutely not. We need, it has to cost more than that. There's no way we can make this work for 185. Do you know how much a Cadillac cost now? A fucking Cadillac is half that. You can't double the price of a fucking navigator, a navigator and get me a basketball floor. Come the fuck on, guys.

I think wood is 185,000. If we're going to glass, it better cost a million dollars. You think at any point in this meeting, one of them went, you crazy for this one, Jay? The most appropriate time it could be used. I think what you're missing here is like,

what if the goal was to injure some kids' groins but also coming under budget? Okay, let's get to the show. It's for advertising, right? It's so they can constantly be showing. Yes. I assume so. There were, like, there were, like, graphic packages and stuff, like, we're during timeouts and stuff. So, like, if it had worked, like, if it wasn't the dumbest idea ever, the smart part of its might have been good. Right. Like, like, a rock and jock basketball thing, the

floor explodes when you dribble, some fucking cool shit like that. You don't, like, the, lava, the floor turns to lava for, like, five seconds. It's been fucking awesome. Yeah, but if somebody missed the last second shot right after the floor turned to lava, then forever, we'd have to hear the stupidest guy who didn't grab. graduate from your college, talk about how it was bullshit or whatever, and they need to get rid of concussion rules or whatever people are always mad about in sports. All right. Well, let's get to the show.

Today we're talking about the White House's upcoming plans for July 4th UFC bash, which seemed to be going swimming late. By that, I mean terrible. And then we're going to get to the Prairland Ice verdict a little bit later. But first, Matt, the Daily Dumbass. Graphic, please. Today's Daily Dumbass is the White House July 4th Port-a-Potty. supplier for not asking for the details of what he was signing up for.

You got the White House, you got the South Lawn, and then there's a road, and then the ellipse is a park that's right there. We're going to be ticketing 85,000 people in the ellipse. And we'll announce how we're going to be giving them away soon. All right. So this is weird. They're like, oh, by the way, there's going to be 85,000 people at the White House during a war. and Trump also said that last week he plans to build 100,000 seat stadium near the White House to host a UFC fight,

but no one started building anything. Right. What do you mean? Dude, they've been working on fucking Cloud Springs Road near my house for 25 goddamn years. I don't think they're building an arena in a day. They haven't finished the ballroom. No. The ballroom is not done.

They're going to do a stadium and they can't do the ballroom, which, by the way, it's so funny that there's something about the juxtaposition of a, dancing ballroom and then a UFC gladiator arena it's just like Trump is just like picking things he wishes he could do and being like build me that like next it'll be a porn studio or something I can't believe that we

deported all the Mexicans and now we've got a bunch of projects that won't get finished that's crazy yeah or they're in hiding right now yeah yeah it may as amazing that works but like it was it amazing me like the war thing it apparently apparently the fact that the White House is a target a pretty soft target if you're going to have 100,000 people there

for like a July 4th event in the middle of war. Apparently that's only occurred to me and Joe Rogan if you got this news alert, Matt. That's because everybody else is keeping the mouse shows. They're like letting it happen. There's, according to the website gambling news.com. Joe Rogan fears Iran might target the UFC White House of Men. I think we got to make Joe Rogan,

the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff at this point. I would accept it over whoever the fuck's in there, honestly. I'm fine with it. Oh, was a guy named Ben Kay. but just because of whoever it is. It's a guy the Air Force General named Dan Cain who Trump picks just because his nickname is Raisin Cain.

I'm not fucking kidding. Great chicken. I would say it would be funny if Iran kills Joe Rogan and we have to act like he's our new Ayatollah. He's just like, in the streets, rending garments with a force. Like when Charlie Kirk was killed, I'll be singing along with like,

I am Joe Rogan, I carry the flame. Yeah. He has a huge head. Not good for him. Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, for sure. Like, I mean, if he gets shot in it. Yeah. He's real short, but that thing is fucking, you know, aim small, miss small.

You know what I'm saying? So, I'm not a UFC guy, but the card seems pretty underwhelming. They were promised, like, seven, like, title fights. It's ass. They have, like, two. Yeah, it's two. And one of the guys, like, well, Brendan Moreno, like, declined to be a part of it because he's Mexican, right? And then a guy named, oh, was Sean Strickman refused to go because the Epstein files? Yeah, dude.

and like Sean Strickland, man, I mean, honestly, bully to him because, I mean, he's a piece of shit. Don't get me wrong. But like, he stands on business. I was not yet, right. I was not aware that Sean. It's usually racist business. Right. But with those dudes, I didn't never know they had a line in the sand with this dude and like, hey, you know, for a guy that gets kicked in the head and says a bunch of bad stuff, that hits.

It is funny that he and he made this announcement about where his moral bright line was on Aiden Ross's live stream. So that's just pretty, like, and Ross, the fascist who can't read, who, like, gives Lamborghinis to Donald Trump or whatever. It's like, yeah, they've got to go on this guy's broadcast and say it in a say, I'm moral. We're the dumbest country in the history of the world. That was the audience that needed to hear it, though. Speaking of being the dumbest country in the history of the world, I want to read this headline for you. Another UFC news. Cash Patel confirms UFC fighters will train FBI agents this week, calling it a historic operative,

What does Cash Patel think of the I agents do? Yeah, arm bars? He doesn't know. Right. Like I'm not even being funny. He got the job and thinks that by having the job he knows how to do the job. This is, it's just so vast, like, I remember it was a big deal, like they were like, Tiger Woods got the way he did because his dad put him through Navy SEAL training to get that full. focused or whatever.

And it's like, yeah, that's the way it's supposed to go, not fucking have a golfer or a UFC fighter go train the CIA or someone who's supposed to otherwise hit. But that's what's what I'm saying?

Like, what does you think the FBI does? Because if they, like, if you knew what they actually did, like the reciprocal training, like they traded training sessions, it'd be like a UFC fighter. I mean,

is there FBI agent teaching UFC fighter how to do forensic accounting at a desk? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like they don't kill their wife and get away with it. they're not they're not you're thinking you're thinking of cops I'm thinking about FBI they do do

FBI agents do not consider themselves cops by and large they're fucking I saw a quote from the FBI agent who was like pissed about being redeployed to some dumb bullshit cash that making them do it's like if I wanted to be a cop I'd be a cop I joined the FBI to be an FBI agent

right they're looking at like like like a fin send documents and shit trying to catch real bad guys they would not arrest a guy on the street and put him an armbar it's a waste their fucking time and trading you know what I'm saying so like so anyway like I've got trying to think of a world in which this makes the world a better place.

Like, I guess we'd have been better off at the FBI agents in Waco. I'd just given those Brains-Dividian kids cauliflower here or something. Yeah. So, one of the fighters doing this FBI training is Renzo Gracie. You guys familiar with the Gracie's? Gracie Jujitsu, yeah, that's what Joe Rogan was that he's a student of. Yeah, so if you guys don't know, the Gracie family basically, the, the Patriarch was Helio Gracie. He was a Brazilian guy who basically invented Brazilian jiu-tizu.

And if you wonder about the Gracie's family's politics somewhere, Helio was a member of the Brazilian Integralism Movement, which first appeared in Brazil in 1932. Do you want to guess what kind of party a combat sports guy would be in in the 1930s? Well, I'm just going to say most parties that sprung up around that time were pretty rough to begin with. So I'm going to say fascist. Yeah. It's like, it's funny because like if there was like a Brazil. You know how the old thing, like, every country's, fascism comes to every country

in a different flavor, right? Because it's based upon your culture. So, they were fascists, but not racist, but still hated the Jews. Right. Right. So you can be a black Brazilian, you're welcome an integralism movement, but not if you're Jewish. Um, anyway, Renzo himself, I don't know much about his politics, but he is a Jayaer Balz and Arrow guy. And also, by the way, where we're here, purrs up from Balls and Arrow who's back in the hospital for the 400 million time last three. Who? The former president who's in jail of Brazil.

Oh, that, the insane guy. With the Austin Bowers' hair? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he looks like a vampire with Austin Powers' hair. That guy. He's the one that picked up the... He's got a touch of the tismet. I'd tell you that right now.

Isn't he the one that picked up the little person thinking it was a kid and kissed on the head? Mike Tyson also did that. There's a, that's a huge, huge, uh, one of them things, uh, circular, you know, Venn diagram of things Mike Tyson and things world leaders do now. And it's bad. Yeah, right. That overlap is a bit too much of my taste as well. Balls and Arrow, like, I'm trying to figure out my favorite balls and arrow moments.

It's like, his, like, when he first ran for president, his campaign hand gesture was just, air guns pretending to shoot his opponents. That's right, baby. America. Beepo, we're getting out there. Brazil's wild because, like, the cops are,

I mean, when I say, obviously cops are drug deals all over the place, but I mean, like, the cops have organized drug gangs there that everyone knows

or just, like, controlling their territory. And, like, Bosnia and error had one of them kill a mayoral candidate who was an opponent,

like his son was connected to it somehow. Anyway, all of our, our politics is turning this direction. That's my point. Would they also have,

isn't it Brazil that has the tiny little town that's like a confederate that was a confederate hideaway that still people go to and it's just a little town that's all Confederate flags and stuff where they're just like all about the old south

there was a whole movement a bunch of like after the war at civil war a bunch of American Confederates fled to Brazil and Cuba I believe to keep doing slavery and yeah I remember there was a famous campaign photo Jimmy Carter campaigned in Brazil in the 70s for whatever reason to fundraisers and there's people

waving Confederate flags in the background while Jimmy Carter's in Brazil So I do want to mention this while we're on UFC stuff. So Bellingcat had a report. They have a UFC fighter named Munir, the sniper Lazez. Are you familiar with them, Corey? I actually, no. I'm certain I've heard Robbie talk about him, but I think I would remember the sniper.

So he posted photos of himself in Dubai a couple weeks ago with a couple of them by the name of Christy and Daniel Kinnahann who were basically Irish drug car. cartel leaders on the run from the law. They're all in Dubai, of course. And I've got to say, one thing I've come in to is like, we need to fucking nuke Dubai of all the places we're not bombing.

I can't believe it's not getting caught by somebody. Like, surely someone over, like the Houthis, the Houthis seem like they'd hate Dubai. Can someone just launch one over there? I think we would solve a lot of the West and the East problems if we did it at the right time.

Dubai is like basically possible. block it for pedophiles with gold cars or take testosterone. It's like it's such a fucking crazy society building. They all have slaves. There's like like like like you're talking about how they did someone want to bomb them. All the basic dynamic of all these Gulf states is like the people hate them. The actual religious people hate them because everyone knows these royal families are fucking whoring around and drinking and doing drugs and are greedy psychopaths.

They're not they're not Muslim in any meaningful sense of the words. So everybody wants to kill them. And anyway, the reason I brought it to Lizaz is because like Belencast started digging to his stuff after he posted those photos. It turns out he's business interest extending far beyond combat sports. They found documents linking him to a multi-million dollar shipping deal orchestrated by companies and a secret jurisdiction for crude oil tankers that were later sanctioned by the American government for helping Iran smuggle oil out. So, Trump is hosting a UFC event.

All right. Who is, like, we're basically on Iran side fighting ourselves at this point. And we've got a UFC fighters who are basically the link. between the Irish mob and the Iranian Republican Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in some sort of like criminal smuggling and financial fraud ring

that's connected by a Tunisian guy with CTE and they're all hanging out together in Dubai we're bombing a country that's not fucking Dubai anyway I don't understand it. Just like in the prequels we find out that the clone wars that Palpatine had set up against himself

was literally just yeah them fighting each other so that they could distract you for what really needed to be done over here, which was him obviously taking control of the Senate, becoming a dictator, and then having his, you know, I guess sort of son-like figure rise to power and make him so angry that, yeah, he kills his wife so that he will be angry and resentful and be that. Yeah, it's America. Prequels. Yeah. To put it in, you know, our parlance of our movie that we're watching play out before us like a fucking nightmare, I heard someone say it this way.

the war's not a distraction as far as the Epstein files the war is the goddamn Right, right, right. It's a result. The Epstein class, whether it's someone in the files or someone who didn't fuck with him

because they hated him because he was fucking up what they were trying to do. There is genuinely a class of people you know, who are, they're not like meeting in a fucking cave with black hoods. I mean, they are

because they like to fuck kids and they're weird. But that's not the issue. The issue is that there's a class of people. They're in Dubai right now. Sometimes they're in other places. They're just getting together and they're making business deals and also policy deals. I mean, it's crazy. It's crazy that we're sitting here. Every day I feel more insane when I try to talk to people about it because the world catches up

to how crazy I feel and then more shit comes out. And we're sitting here and we're talking about this. We are. bombing kids in a country. We're bombing schoolchildren in a country on behalf of a country that's been bombing school children while we are a country that's been apparently fucking school children. And it's all wrapped up,

currently still as best I can tell, as a moral argument. Right. I miss Cheney. I miss let's go get oil. I miss we are going to take their stuff. I mean, Hegseth is the only. one who seems a little, he's saying he's doing it for God.

I mean, at least I can wrap my head around that. Like, oh, the same God who fucked Mary when she was 14 years old. At least I can process what you're saying is happening. It's not even theater at this point. It's content. I don't know if I'm making sense. I feel like my rant is disjointed because that's sort of my point. It's also disjointed.

There's not even a thread through the lies that they're telling us. I don't even know what I'm being sold anymore. No, I'm going to say it's like you and I are getting too different, being sold two of them wars because I like, I'm getting to, we're taking the role for propaganda. They were not doing it for any more reason. I know for there's like a 15 minute period,

the first day of the war where Trump's like, we're going to free the Iranian people, but he immediately fucking backed off that. Like it's like, but yeah, it's like it's, uh, well, Fox is still selling that for the record. Yeah, and I see like, like I, I, you know, neighborhood I live in, I see people driving around flying Iranian flags who are

presumably Iranian immigrants who are for the war because they do think it's somehow going to lead to freedom. But like, like, it seems like everyone's already given up on that. The quote's seen people inside Iran who were hopeful the first couple of days have already been like, we just want the bombing to stop. The old way was better. I mean, I can't speak for Iranian people. I know.

Anyway, I saw a guy, the biggest Iranian flag I've ever seen in my life being flown on the side of a cyber truck. And I was like, I bet you're super cool to talk to you right now. Yeah. Anyway, we've got to move on our next topic. We'll be talking about the, the Prairland Ice Verdict. and we get back, we got to take a quick break. Weekly skews is brought to you by Z-biotics. Let's face it, y'all, after a night of drinking,

you don't bounce back in the next day like you used to. You're not 21 anymore. At least I'm not, I can tell you that much. I know most of y'all ain't either. Let's not lie to ourselves here. And it gets harder every day to bounce back. It really does. I don't know if you notice, but March can be a lot.

You know, you've got your bracket watch parties. Cipides day. And I can't just have a big night anymore, and then wake up the next morning and just be. all right. It's not even shades of all right, really. It's just not how it works for me. So I feel like I have to make a choice. Have a good night or have a good next day.

Here's how the science works. So whenever you drink, your body converts alcohol into a toxic byproduct in your gut. And the buildup

of that byproduct, not dehydration in and of itself, is what makes your next day's so tough. pre-alcohol produces an enzyme that breaks that byproduct down you take it before you drink your first drink of the night you drink responsibly as always of course and you wake up feeling like an actual human being who has options the next day so go to zbiotics dot com slash skew that's zbiotics dot com slash skew and use the promo code skew at checkout for 15% off your first order 100 percent money back guarantee if you're not satisfied for whatever reason so there's no risk here go to zbiotics.com slash skew use the promo code skew for 15% off booster juice is going crazy for hazelnuts no not crazy nuts booster juice is going bananas for hazelnuts i mean there are bananas and smoothies but that's not the point i banana juice is booster for hazelnuts what just stop booster is going nuts for hazelnuts introducing the nutty monkey smoothie holy hazelnut.

I have read about it since I heard the very, very frankly shocking and disappointing verdict. I don't know enough about the trial. I've only read a couple of things about it to know this for sure, but my gut instinct is that these defense lawyers fucking blew this.

Well, I'm not sure. Like, let me, like, the judge precluded them from arguing self-defense. Like, they couldn't even introduce it. And also, like, let me tell you how much the fix was in right here. As Trump appointed judge, obviously, is a federal judge. The judge called a mistrial during jury selection, because too many people didn't like ice. Right.

Pack of lunch. Right. So like in the 90, the 90 person jury pool, basically 23, I'm going to think, we're like, fuck ice.

We just like, he just started over and said, we only have jurors who love ice. Yeah. All right. That's somehow good and not the same thing as having to all fuck them. Right.

Yeah, dude. I mean, that's what I'm thinking. If we're going to do a jury of your peers and they are in Antifa, I mean, we're going to have to get some purple hairs in here.

a couple of bisexual chicks with nose rings. I know a few. We also need people. Like if you really, if you got to, it's okay to tell a little white lighter and jury selection to get on the, like it's like you don't have to volunteer

all your political opinions. I think I said it on here once before. I know I've been saying it on my podcast, do jury duty. Yeah, we talked about it. If you know what you can do, oh yeah,

told you to do it. Yeah, right. And you made me genuinely made me regret my, like, I was like, oh man, he's so right. Because I did, to get out. of jury duty, I just went up to the judge.

Lie to get in the jury duty is what I'm saying. So if you guys don't know, like we're talking about, so because of an event that happened last to law, fourth, which we'll get into the details of in a few minutes, eight defendants were found guilty Friday, we're providing material support to terrorists for the quote Antifa attack on the Prairland Ice Detention Center. This ICE detention center is in Alperado, Texas,

which is like south of Fort Worth on that 35W. The one guy who shot a cop, who you can expect to go to jail for that, He faces a minimum of 20 years and maximum of life in federal prison. The other people who were just there, most of them faced between 10 and 60 years for material support for terrorism for being in the vicinity of a guy who shot a cop. And another guy phased up to 40 years who wasn't there because he was basically was convicted of conspiracy to conceal evidence because he moved a box of zines. Like the dip? No, that's zen. Zines like Magdora a magazine.

homemade magazines. Yeah, the old magazine. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right on. Yeah. I just didn't know anybody still had zines. Me neither. I didn't know people were still making them, but apparently people are still making them. You can go to prison for 40 fucking years from moving a box of them. The fact that they all wore black clothes was admitted as evidence that they were part of the same criminal conspiracy. So if you have a black t-shirt, you were also involved in this. Prosecutors used a seven-year-old column. There was an analysis of feminism's relationship to horror cinema as quote evidence of ideologically driven intent. So somebody spent the most boring 15 minutes of their life reading an article about

feminism, feminism relationship to horror cinema and is going to go to prison for it. One of the guys they arrested in connection with this who hasn't gone on trial yet wasn't there. They raided his house with flashbangs because he helped someone out who asked to be removed. No wait, I'm phrasing that wrong. He removed a guy from a group chat after a guy confessed that he'd been at this at Prairieland. He removed the guy from his group chat, this organization called the Socialist Rifleman's Association.

He removed them from the group chat because they committed a crime that he did not want to be associated with them. So the evidence of his criminal association with them was that he did not want to be associated with them because they were criminals. You follow me? I'm following you, man.

I still can't get past the fact that, like, if it's a crime for a group of people to all wear black shirts, how are the streets safe for Italians in New Jersey. You know what I mean? Like how, what's going to happen there? It looks like ISIS all the time. Bro, if you're wearing

an Adidas track suit in New Jersey, you're basically you're legally in the mob by this logic. No, this is really, really dark. I wonder what the legal groundwork is for precluding self-defense.

That's a, I mean, you have a right to claim self-defense. So to throw that right out the window is kind of wild. I mean, not that I have a lot of faith in our Supreme Court at the moment or our appeals courts, but I mean, this is why the courts

matter. It's something that lame liberals have said forever in terms of if nothing else, we've got to vote blue to keep the courts the way we want them, but like it is true. It's not very glamorous to talk about how this works. It's always later. It's always years

later. The courts are fucked, but I keep talking to people who are like, man, things don't change. Trump's going to, he is. Like, it is happening. We are in the history book. This is answer C on the fucking history test in 2025. I'm sorry, 2075.

Like, this is so dark. I hadn't followed it much. Like I said, I just read like a couple write-ups about it after it happened. And it seemed like the defense, it seemed like didn't do a good enough job. of pointing out how to convict someone of conspiracy here it takes more than

they hung out together but it sounds like this judge rigged it so dark let me describe it to you his name is Judge Mark Pittman and like I can't tell like what part of this is like

because you and I follow this stuff closely like this is a lot of this is fairly normal you know like anybody's followed someone who like cut the you know hydraulic line

on a piece of construction equipment on oil pipeline has been going to jail for terrorism for fucking 30 years, right? So like that's like basically what they've done is they've moved anti-ice protests in the same bucket that anti-oil pipeline protests go into. So the US just- Except one guy pulled the trick, like that, you know what I mean? Like it seems like the difference here is now

it's just like I hung out with a guy who committed a crime. Well, fuck, dude. I'm screwed. Be able with me too. That so they made, the judge's name is Mark Pitt. He's a federal society judge. If you're wondering what his background is, he's the guy who... Well, the federal society is the most evil institution in modern America,

and it is responsible for so much of what we see today. But go ahead. Right. He's a judge who initially struck down the Biden administration's student loan debt forgiveness program nationwide. He, during all the trial was going on, he held an unreported in private meeting last week with former Attorney General Bill Barr, who, you know, was Trump's first attorney gentleman's first administration. He said,

Barr's relatives, quote, far left extremist groups and anarchic groups using Antifa-like tactics back in 2020. Speaking to the media, hours after the meeting, Barr said he knew nothing about the Antifa case and claimed he was merely, quote, getting a tour of the courtroom.

Bill Barr, if you need your memory refreshed, Garfield. For Trump. Huh? Wasn't he the one that kind of looked like Garfield, the cat? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, yeah. Right on.

He's also the guy, he's also the guy whose dad was the head of the private school that hired Jeffrey F. seemed to be a teacher when he was completely unqualified. Mr. Barr? Mm-hmm. So...

That slated you? You're making me lose my place. That throwaway Jones slated you? You'd be a professional here. You're smart mark. The guy who... Let me quote here. The guy who was arrested

for merely removing the other guy from the group trap, the guy who wasn't even there. He's been arrested three times in the connection with this dumb bullshit so far. He's a guy elementary school teacher in Dallas ISD.

I'm called here. It's weird to have this whole Antifa thing that was a joke like eight years ago. People are cracking jokes about how people think there's this group funded by George Soros. And now the FBI director is running around being like, we got them. We found Antifa and it's a bunch of protesters. They got talked to the guy who was arrested for moving the box of zines. The guy's going to prison for 40 years. Yeah, for 40 years.

He was arrested when moving the box was spotted by an FBI surveillance team, according to the government. an FBI surveillance team following this guy whose wife was at a protest so they could catch him moving a box of zines that had feminist critiques of horror movies in them. I just like if 12 citizens

are willing to put someone in prison for 40 years for that. Well, the judge, the jury's all over the country have been nullifying a lot of this shit. I'm not sure they just like basically worked really hard over the course of six months for bullshit trial to find a jury that would convict.

You also have a, the problem of the juries don't get to do sentencing. They don't get to consider whether, like, whether the sentence is too harsh from they do this. So, so, so we'll go through what actually happened here, what they actually did, what they actually were, you know, they don't do sentencing. They're aware of it, though. Right. But I'm saying like, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're explicitly construct, you've been in the courtrooms. You know, they're instructed, like you can't take your fear, your, your concerns of the harshest of the sentence. You didn't vote whether you think they did it or not.

He moved the box of scenes. I've also read the post, I've also read the post jury, um, deliberation notes and surveys they talk about all that I mean I'm just I'm not trying to be like a Debbie Downer but like

it's really like I often what happens in a trial like this is they split the baby they throw the book at the shooter they decide like two of the people help them and then the guy who move magazines gets a not guilty it's

all right so I want to walk through I want to walk through what would actually happened. Okay, so they, uh, this group of people, I think is eight to ten people were setting off fireworks outside of immigration jail on July 4th. They were, the reason they chose July 4th is they wanted the idea was they were celebrating July 4th with the people in the facility who they, they were signaling to them we see you as Americans and were celebrating America with you. All right. They were shouted to a bullhorn. They spray pen and fuck you pigs on a guard shack and slashed the tires of a transportation van. So the people that worked at the day immigration jail called the cops. Local cops show up and a

cop drew his gun because the protesters this is where the silliness of our society, all parts of it come into question. They were open carrying someone mayor of 15th. All right. So the cop drew his gun, but they had guns out. See what I'm saying? So

it's not really, it's not, where you draw the line for who fucking started with having their guns out first? Right. The cop, the, the, the, evidence seems to point to the fact that the guy who shot first was one of the protests, because the cop was pointing his gun at people are running away with their backs turned.

So the guy who shot the cop, his name is Benjamin Song, he's a former Marine. And the officer filed blindly three times into the dark and hit nothing. Thank God because he was just shooting at people running away in the dark. The cops, the cop's fine. He was got out of the hospital. So they arrested most of people there charged him with, it was ramped up charges like they always do in the first draft of this shit. They charged him with the attempted murder of a cop, basically, all ten of them.

But so far, we're doing routine cop shit, local charges, the wheels of justice is turning normally. That was July. Charlie Kirk was killed in September. All right. So then Trump classified Antifa as a domestic terror organization. This led to a presidential memorandum. We've talked about in the show before called NSPM 7, which activated basically our security panapticon, co-intill pro 2 shift they're doing now. And order the attorney general to crack down, quote, civil disorder as domestic terrorism.

So then, by December, nine of the protests were hit, with federal terrorism charges along with rioting, using explosives, and attempted murder of federal officers. So it went being charged with one cop they shot at. Then the protests became a riot. The fireworks became explosives. And the group then became an antifa cell through the power of Trump's pen. You follow me here?

I am following you. But again, if 12 American citizens will allow that, we are in such a dark place and or these defense attorneys completely fucked up. I'm not saying just because they got a guilty. It sounds like they got mostly guilties across the board and some of the gnarliest charges. I mean, for the dude to get 40 years from moving a box,

it's unconscionable. It's unconscionable. And I keep saying this to people. I've said it on here before. We are so far beyond where people want to act like we are. We're in the shit. And I've also been saying this to people. You need to be committing crime if nothing else for your own mental

health. They're going to charge you with some bullshit anyway. You're going to like bring a sandwich to a neighbor who happens to be brown and they're going to be like, you're a terrorist. If that's going to happen anyway, then steal someone rich's identity. Why not rob a target on a first date this week? I want to quote here, so the judge, during the cross-examination of a government witness about the zines being evidence of criminal intent, right? The judge, Pittman, he's asked the witness, so just because I own a copy of MINDCOF, does that mean I'm a Nazi? Now, at the time, I thought he was making a rhetorical point about, of course, it doesn't mean you're a Nazi just because you own a copy of Minkoff, depending on how you fucking...

What position of honor does it have on your bookshelf, right? Right. But now I think he's actually... Now I think he meant it literally. Yeah, yeah. Now I think he meant it literally. He's like, wait, does that mean I'm a Nazi because I have a copy of Minkgoff? Like he's having a moment there?

Oh, way on. I guess I am a Nazi. Yeah. I'll also ask this The Zine guy His name Daniel Estrada Sanchez I believe is his name

Yeah Daniel Stratis So he was The layers of government Fuck up here Last Thanksgiving They just let him loose He didn't expect it

And no one knew why They just freed him from jail From pretrial detention So he just went home for a couple days Thought it was a mistake And it was They called back and asked him To turn himself in

Which he did Because he's like I want my day in court I didn't do anything wrong I just want to say you're all the fucked up shit about a criminal justice system If a guy will voluntarily turn himself in multiple times Why is he being held pre-trial? Right

It's almost like the prison industrial complex is a business that relies upon People being in custody All right, because I have a I forgot to say the theme of today's show I want to talk about legal stuff because I have you two on you drew you're a lawyer and and Corey, you're a criminal. So I thought it'd be fun. So before we get out of here, I want to have some fun doing one more dumb ass. Our second dumb ass, honorable mention today, is police academies for not having training courses

for how to emotionally deal with losing rap battles. Matt, video, please. Bandilize my property, my money came up short. They disconnect my cameras because they are a poor sport. They're the predators and the victims, and there's two in court. My proofs on the internet. All right. So, yeah. I am. I need a moment.

You take your moment. I'll let Mark explain it, obviously, because everyone needs to know what's going on. I did know about this, but are you saying it's led to training? Sorry, go ahead. All right. So after a legal battle of all sides for going on for years now, Afro Man is about to head to court where he's being sued by local sheriff's deputies who say, his rap videos and related publicity subjected them to ridicule mental distress and danger including

anonymous death threats but he also said he lied on them by showing video of them in his house at that the next video I will say he did go hard if you got to get the next video clip Matt that's queued up to start at 236

you were just playing it yeah by the way it wasn't that to the tune of a very racist song very racist that was the marching the Confederate marching song That's what I thought. Sorry, go ahead. Ryan Newlin is a flag. William is a pedophile.

If I'm telling folks the truth, how come I have to go to trial? Newland's sexton kids, that's true. Now he's stealing my money to my proofs on the internet. That's the tune to the Battle of Him of the Republic, which is a- Yeah, it's also a Georgia's fight song. It's a Union marching song,

which was a Christ died of man. Christ died to something men would let us die and make men free. It was the opposite. It was probably racist by our modern terms, but it was about freeing slaves. Yeah, I think, yes. But I think what happened is white supremacist groups made versions of it that I, unfortunately, was exposed to as a younger man. And so it's like one of those.

Everyone was doing a bit, and now we're back at Square. Yeah. So that was the fourth song in his row series. These local sheriff's department, Adams County, Ohio. That one was called the batteram hymn of the police whistleblower. I just want to put out here that suing a rapper for hurting your feelings, like, first of all, they're accusing him of exaggerating in a rap song, which call the fucking gobs.

But suing somebody for hurting your feelings in a disc track is what fucking Drake did. That's what we pointed out for how corny the shit is. The song that really made the mask called Lemon Pound Cake, which is just about the cops in his house when they should, have been salivating her his mom's lemon pound cake. And he was salivating over his cake. You've got this image of this copy of that. That's a cop stare at his mom's pound cake.

So this beef goes all the way back to like 2021, I think. There's a previous burglary at Afferman's house where he kept calling the cops to see what they were doing about it. And they threatened to arrest him if they kept bugging them to see if they were solving the crime. Because, you know, cops don't do that. How do you call them up and ask if they're going to solve a crime? So then August of 2022, the sheriff's department searched his house. They said because of an anonymous tip, they searched his house of suspicion of kidnapping and drug trafficking.

So because he was annoying them for not solving his burglary case, they searched his house with fake tip about fucking kidnapping and drug trafficking. They found some like personal use of marijuana, I guess was legal in Ohio. So he asked them basically, they broke a bunch of things. of his shit when they searched his house. He says they cost $20,000 worth of damage. And they took like $4,500 or something in cash from his house. So he's like, give me back my money and pay for the damage you cost. According to him, they gave back 400 bucks less than what they took and laughed at him

when they asked him to pay for the damage. So that's how he arrived at the point where he's making this fucking rap video, roasting the cops because he said he wanted to make, he's basically, he's like, I put out these videos to make back the money they stole from me and repaired the damage. One of the songs is called Fix My Gate. So Afro-Man is calling cops pedophiles because they won't fix his gate.

It's so good. It's so good because it's exactly what I want him to be doing right now. Does that make sense? Yeah. Impromously, my favorite lyricist of all time, Andre 3000 said in an interview, why the fuck would I rap? What would I talk about? I'm 50 years old.

What would I rap about getting my prostate checked? And it's like, no, dude, somebody fixing your gate. This is what Afro-Man should be on about now. He should be on about someone fixing his damn gate. Also, Afro-Man being relevant again, add it to the list. Iran War, Creed, Brittany Spears just got a DUI. We're back in the 2000s, baby. Cocaine's back.

Dinkos are back. Zubas are back. Oh, dude, I saw a kid sacking his pants earlier. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, dude. He probably just came over in this goddamn economy. I tried on an earlier podcast. I can't do it.

I can't get my camera to the window. But I'm having a blizzard here in Tennessee in March. We're straight back to 93 with that one, dog. That's right, boy. That's right, boy. Oh, yeah. I remember that blizzard. We were out of school 18 days of that one.

Isn't fentanyl? What is fentanyl, if not heroin, that didn't kill our heroes? That's right. Yeah. If Lou Reed had facts. sister Fentanyl. He would still be alive making the worst, like, ditties for Cork commercials you've ever heard in your life.

You ever seen Lou Reed Fentling? Oh my God. The Lou Reed Fentling. Dude, that's a shirt somehow. Ain't a dance. We've got to make up. I mean, in that Lou Reed Fentling. Man, he's hitting that Lou Reed Fentling. Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown.

So, I just... Take a walk on the wild side. Well, we talked about the prayer that case. We like about the fix being in. The judge in this case already dismissed fucking Afro-Man's countersuit for like, he tried to like try to sue them for the frivolous lawsuit or whatever. Like, no, you can't do that.

So basically, it was kind of funny if you noticed in his video he had access to like the deposition footage where the lady cop was crying at the deposition. He's making fun of her for it. I don't know. Like, if you're really this sensitive where a guy, a rapper who had, like, I'm not only diminished Afro-a-man's career. He did want a granny, but basically that one song that was a hit, I want, because I got a high, right? that was using a lot of

The other one. Yeah, he did. He sure did. It was where he was going about all the women he fucked in different states and met this chick from Tennessee. Her tits were filled with Tennessee.

I met one from Hawaii. I stuck it in her butt and she said, Aye. All right. He also ends up fucking the daughter of the head guy from the KKK. He did do that. Yeah.

So he's got a little bit of them about. He fucked that. He fucked that daughter. dude. So he's always been a political agitator, is what you're saying. So this brought to mind like another case in Ohio where a cop in Cincinnati

after the Joyce Flood protests tried to sue protesters for making fun of him on Twitter. They're basically call him a fat pig fascist and he tried to sue them for like hurting his feelings. And like we're like, I'd realize now that the people who run this country think the First Amendment was a mistake. They just like, they really don't

want anyone but them to have it. Right. But I just, I want to point out here that, like, this is Afro-Man basically going back to his roots because his origin story was in high school. He would make mixtapes and sell them at school. And quote here, me quote here. The first tape I made was about my eighth grade teacher. She got me kicked out of school for sag in my pants, which was a big deal back then.

So I wrote this song about her, making fun of her, and sold about 400 copies around school. My man. So he's just, so teacher kicked him out of class for sag in pants. He made money off of it to compensate himself. but making music about it 30 years later whatever cops break into his house

break his fucking gates and he makes songs to make the money back and then marches around about the lawsuit and American flag fucking suit and in summation all this thing we're talking about he's an artist and in summation what I'm saying

is the defense would like to call Afro-Man if you got this last video about freedom of speech I should be allowed to sing about my life and police officers that violate my home steal my money should not be allowed

to sue me. Yeah. How is that not an airtight fucking argument? But you said like he spent like he like talking about like the outcast thing like like was it Andre 3,000 or Big Boy? Which one was saying that? What I remember the quote.

Andre, big boy's still rapping. It's Andre. But it's like he used it rap about his life. He's literally rapping by his life. The cops fucking broke into his house to get petty revenge and broke his gates. That's what he's fucking rapping about. And like I'm meant to say the other songs that recorded were called, will you help me repair my door?

I got the title wrong. said, fix my games. Will you help me repair my door? Levin Pound Cake, which is set to the tune to under the boardwalk by the drifters, which is just about that cop doing the triple take of his mom's living pound cake. And why are you disconnecting my video camera?

And he just uses the B-Rillard. Like, they're accusing him of insulting them. And he played it in the video now. It's just, it's B-Role of his own fucking camera footage. They're suing him for using their likenesses because they were in his goddamn house. Unbelievable. You're using, you can't use my likeness for profit, bro.

Don't come in. in my fucking house. How hard is this? We're getting third amendment cases, multiple of them, under the fucking Donald Trump administration. Speaking of him being an artist and the First Amendment,

I just remembered the funniest lyric in that song when he was banging the head of the KKK's daughter. He said, we fuck to the left, we fuck to the right. She sucked my dick till that shit turned white,

which is hilarious. Well, after all that, I'd be like, Afterman deserves that. word today. So thank you guys for joining me. I appreciate it, Corey. Appreciate it, Drew. Thank you guys. Yeah, buddy. Thank you.
