Weekly Skews - S6 Ep34: Weekly Skews – Freeborn Men of the USA

Episode Date: July 8, 2026

America celebrated 250! 250 what? A lot of people don’t know. A MAHA Mom might be getting the death penalty, but not for what you think. And then we get into the somewhat over-the-top reactions to the Supreme Court keeping citizenship the same as it’s always been, and reflections upon birthright after two-and-a-half centuries of rockin’ and rollin’.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

What's up, everybody. Welcome back. Happy Skees Day to you. It is July 7th, 2026. We're recording this on Monday, July 6th at about 1 o'clock p.m. on the west coast. Mark has returned from Beyond the Vale. Mark is back with us. I know you're all going to miss Cho and his, you know, enlightened musings. But we've got Mark back in the co-pilot's sake this week. How are you doing, Mark? Enlighten musings would be a great name for a one-man podcast, host about Corey. Yeah, I don't give him any ideas. Yeah, thanks for coming from me last week. My grandma passed away. She was 90 and she was ready to go home to the Lord. So I won't miss her. But so I wanted to talk about, like, so Fowler and Balligan, we're recording this on Monday, right?

And we need to say that. Wherever you guys are in the world, it's Monday afternoon to reset. And tonight's U.S. men's national team match hasn't happened yet, playing Belgium. And Fowler and Balligan is going to play, I guess, even though he got a red card last game. Right. And good for him. The whole thing is just so fucking corny.

How do you feel about Trey? I think that multiple things can be true at once. I think FIFA is notoriously corrupt and has been for a long time and everybody knows that. They have a long history of favoring host countries as much as possible, which is long pissed people off. There's the Trump part of it all because he's like taking credit and they say the White House called him whatever else and Trump sucks and everybody knows that.

So that's kind of a factor in it too. But because I was reading all, I'm soccer dumb, first of all, but I was reading all kinds of takes and shit when it first happened in the last game. The most far and away, most common take that I saw was that, you know, that was a very harsh red card that it, you know, wasn't entirely justify. Like, that was a real tough break. And like, and everybody's like, well, but FIFA doesn't ever suspend red cards. so it's bullshit that they're doing it now.

But my thing with that is, it's like, okay, but I think that they should, though. Like, they should be, there should be an appeals process. If, if there was a mistake, if, like, if something was fucked up, there should be a way to, especially because a penalty in a previous game in soccer impacts the forthcoming games. So, like, you should be able to appeal. And if it was a bullshit call, they should be able to undo it.

Now, they'll just go right back from this to not ever doing that, which makes this fucking. up, but they, but that don't mean that it, they should just start doing that. There should be an appeals process and this shouldn't be a weird thing for them to do is what I'm saying. Like, you know. Okay. Multiple things can be true.

One, like, FIFA does a bunch of extremely corny, cheesy, obvious corruption. Yes, all the time. Trump does a bunch of cheesy, corny, obvious corruption. And the two of them have teamed up apparently to do fucking one of the weirdest things. Like, like, you said, like maybe there should be a product. Like the call was a bad call, right? But it's a normal bad call. What's abnormal is overturning it.

But also there's a Miss Emperor Hitch. Like, we could have, I love Fowler and Balligan fan. My whole life going back three weeks. Yeah, right. Me too, yes. No disrespect to him, but he has dual citizenship with England and he chooses to play for us. I assume because he probably wouldn't play for England. Probably, yeah.

He's a striker for like a French league, a place in Monaco, I think. Not a big time team. He's not some, he's not some, he's not some, he's not some, he's not some, he's not some, he's not some, he's not some, he's not some, he's not a lot of fun to watch. But I think there's an assumption because the Trump of the White House are casuals like we are. They think balleran's like awesome like he's messy or something. And so we can't like we can't win without him, which we can. We can win, we could beat Belgium with him without him and we could lose with him is my point. Yes.

that's all that is all true yeah he's been like playing out of his mind in this world cup to be fair like you're right coming into it he was not supposed to be like our best player but he has been our best player in this tournament he's just been red hot so that's like part of it but yeah you're right my buddy who does no soccer he because i said the same thing about him being him growing up in england he said that he thinks he he he could make the english team but he wouldn't you know he wouldn't be fucking harry kane as their striker or whatever you know what I mean, like, he wouldn't be starting or anything on the English team. But either way, yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, anyway, like, there's also a part where, like, so it's not, FIFA would have wanted to do this anyway. Yes, right. The point. Because they're incentivized to do it for a lot of reasons. It keeps Americans engaged more, like, where that equals money. They want America to get more into soccer. America's hosting the World Cup.

The team is pretty good. They want them to do ways. and for American eyeballs to keep watching because that, you know, is financially lucrative for them going forward. So they were incentivized to do it regardless. And then the Trump part is like, you know, it's all just, it's just a real kind of cluster-fucky. If you were putting pressure on them to do this, keep your fucking mouth shut about it. Because we don't know they did this because of pressure from the government. We only know that the White House brag they did it because of pressure from them.

Which they do all the time. And Trump does all the time. You know what I mean? takes credit for any and everything he can. So like, who the fuck knows? But like the uproar about this, like they stricane it affected it like by episode. Like the up,

he might cost in Gianni Infanti's job, which I just got to say, Gianni Infanti is such a fucking like infanti. Like it's such a funny name to give a guy. Like if you saw a small Italian guy and would he make fun of him without knowing his name, like, hey look here comes Gianni infanti. Yeah.

Yes. It's a super spaghetti e name. He also, you know that he had a famous moment where, he said he came out and started a speech with Today I feel gay Do you remember that? You know that? Because he was trying to like, whatever

commiserate with LGBT people or something But he said today I feel gay That's the only thing I know about him That and he's super corrupt like all FIFA Yeah And we don't know how the game's going to go tonight Or how it's going to whether it'll like Be an asterisk over something meaningful

Whether we lose. It brings us up again Well I think that if we went That's one part that sucks There will be an asterisk if we win but the thing is we're not going to like win the whole thing. So like it still will fade away, I think. Like even if we win this game,

but then we just get beat by Spain, Portugal, or France or whoever, and then it'll whatever. People will forget about it, I think. So what if they do win the whole thing? Now Fowler and Balligan's got to go to the White House and like fucking thank Trump who's at the White House. He's at the Supreme Court trying to take away his citizens. Citizenship, yeah, that's the other part.

Yes. He has birthright citizenship because he just so. happened to be born in New York. Yeah, I know. The whole thing is just a lot of layers to it. Before we get this, because we just had the 250th. I wanted to talk about it for a minute. This, uh, yeah, I was thinking about this. You know, this just occurred because my, my, my, my grandma died in 90. That means 90 years, maybe the pretty young country. My grandma was around for almost 40% of America. Wow. Yeah, that's crazy. So, so this survey, let me quote here, nearly half of American survey don't know what America 250 commemorates.

That is how, I don't, I mean, I know that we're dumb and it's always some poll results like this and shit, but I mean, this one is, how? What do you fucking think it is? Like, how can you not know that? Yeah. According to a survey from the Kato Institute of more than 2,000 U.S. adults conducted in June, 86% of respondents said they are grateful to be American and 70% believe the nation's founding principles remain relevant.

However, nearly half don't know that America's 250th anniversary commemarates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Now, if people are confused, I don't know whether it's like the adoption or whether it's like the adoption or whether we won the war or whether we've done the Constitution.

I'm going to say, you know, that doesn't make you that stupid. Right. I want to do this breakdown here. Let me read this. About one and a half did get it right. 3% of people think it was the Pilgrims landing at Prymouth Rock. 8% think the ratification of U.S. Constitution.

accept that as a plausible answer, even though it's all five decades. Did they poll first graders? Is that the, is that what's thrown the, the, the Plymouth Rock thing in there? Fucking. Five percent of people think it was the first U.S. presidential election. And some people think it was like the founding of Jamestown. They just randomly, like, they must have given a list of historical events. They picked the one they heard of.

That's what I was thinking, yeah. Because how are you familiar that the founding? of Jamestown is a thing, but you don't know anything about money. Right. Nearly 60% did not only the main purpose of the U.S. Constitution is to live in government of government power and do not know why the colonies declared independence from Great Britain, which is like the way that's taught to us, the reasons are just taxes. It's just taxes.

It's just taxes. The only reason it teaches. Right. You're right. I think that it must, it feels like it must have been a list. You know that it's 250 years of America. So you're like, in their head, it's like the start of America. What is that? And 3% of people think it's the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock or the founding of Jamestown or whatever.

Because it's just like, I know this is the start of America. And I feel like America started with Pilgrims or Jamestown or whatever. It feels like that has to be how they arrived at those answers. But yeah, that's very alarming. I mean, almost half. That's fucking crazy. I mean, the majority of those surveyed believe the country is strayed from its founding principles. I love questions like this, but like in which direction?

Right, that's what I was about to say. Could it be for the better? I don't know. Just leave it straight. More than half fear the U.S. can cease to be a free country within the next 50 years, citing corruption and abuse of power as primary threats. This is nonpartisan, but like corruption and abusive power by fucking who. Everybody just doesn't like it. Corruption and abusive power.

Then it says the concerns are especially pronounced among Gen Z respondents. Everybody loves the shit on Gen Z. Always the kids are always the stupidest, right? Who exhibited both the lowest levels of civic knowledge and the least favorable views. of the nation's founders. It's time for Ken Burns to shake his ass on TikTok, Trey. That's my pitch here. Well, I just saw a poll on Fox News.

Well, I don't know if it was their poll or they took it from somewhere else. But it was a Fox News article about a poll about Gen Z. People are saying that more than half of them want a Democratic Socialist to win the next election. Democratic socialism is growing with Gen Z, according to this recent Fox News poll. So, you know. But like, what it means like, do you mean maybe we have something closer to Canada's health care system? Or do you mean Stalin didn't do anything wrong? Right.

Because like, it's a whole lot backed up in there. But like, we're not going to talk about the 250th celebration today. It was like seemed like a, I mean, the weather couldn't be helped. But they spent $880 million on this shit. Did they look like an $880 million production to you? 880 million dollars? Yeah. Oh my God.

For the whole, for the whole thing. And also does that count? the money that Trump funneled Dendal his buddies bank accounts and all that shit or whatever like it. Yeah, right. Okay. Let me, let's play this video a couple of quick. This is from the rehearsals for the big event.

Bro. I almost killed those girls. They could have absolutely splattered like five of those dancers there. That could have been way worse. Also, are they doing the fucking Buggy Wuggy Bugle Boy from Company B type shit? Taking it back old school, buddy.

That was the boogie-wigs. We used to play that in a bicycle band when I played. I played alto sacks, baby. We had boogie-wuggy-bug boy. Hey, it's a classic, you know. All right, well, let's get into it. Let's just jump right from that into the Daily Dumbass Matt, if you please. This week's DD is cops for figuring out the vaccine murderer was just me and a

mask the whole time. In the days after the twins died last year, Shaw appeared on a program produced by the anti-vaccine advocacy group Children's Health Defense, where she expressed beliefs that vaccines cause her children's death. Her attorney says that remains her position. She believes that causes death to be the vaccine. She's not a doctor.

I'm not a doctor, but the doctors I've consulted say that it's a vaccine-related death. Okay. So this lady, her name is Andrea Shaw, 23 years old, Idaho, just arrested. for the murder of her two fraternal twin sons who were 18 months old

when they died last spring. She immediately went on she did children defense uh, what's it called? Children's, uh, RFK juniors,

um, Children's health defense, RFK Jr's old organization. Went on their live stream YouTube show literally three days after her sons died and said the vaccines did it. Um, now she's facing the fucking death penalty

for murdering your own kids. Uh, well, that's fucked up. Does it, do you, so, Like, she wanted to murder her children and then use the vaccine thing as just like a defense, right?

As opposed to being like super hardcore anti-vaccine and, you know, trying to get in on that by framing vaccines for the murder of her children. Do you know what I'm? I'm asking a chicken or egg question because I assume it was the first thing. She just wanted to do some Casey Anthony shit and was like, ooh, I know. I'll blame it on vaccines. People go for that. Well, she's charged with first degree. Like, she's all the up for the death penalty because they're saying it's pre-will.

I haven't seen the indictment hasn't released yet. And not since I put the show together. Anyone that says yesterday, I don't know what their evidence is. And I need to say the, so when you haven't seen the evidence, I don't know. Vaccine injuries are a real thing. They do exist. At a neighbor who, you know, was permanently handicapped because of a vaccine injuries. She still gets vaccines, by the way, because you can do math.

Things are unlikely. because things are unlikely doesn't mean they never happen. But I said her fraternal's twin sons. One was a boy. One was a girl. I had that wrong. I'm sorry. But they died simultaneously, which automatically would raise my suspicions because you

wouldn't necessarily die simultaneously from a fucking vaccine injury, right? Right. And she, uh, there's also a thing. We did a whole episode about bullshit, the bullshit science between shaken baby syndromes. I don't know whether they have like real science here or whether they have fake science. But I do know that they did say the suspected foul play. from the moment the kids died over a year ago last May. I don't know why they waited until now to arrest her,

although it should be noticed. She just had another kid, right? And she's forbidden from seeing that kid if she gets born. Do you know if it was with the same guy? I don't know for sure. I'm sorry, I'm like putting on a true crime hat here or whatever, which I don't even fuck with true crime, but, you know, my wife does. I'm just saying if it's a different new guy, it's like,

we're going to put all this old family behind me. Well, she got a new man. She was married to the guy. The guy was the father or the other kids who passed away. So, like, she, if she did, she got pregnant by a new man. She met him pretty soon after because their other kids have only been dead for, like, you know, a year and months. Yeah, yeah, right. So, but, like, the fact that she went on that show just so many days later, I can't believe how credulous people are.

Like, this Children's Health Defense League, even if you believe in, like, their cause or whatever, if someone's kids have just died and you have them on your fucking. podcasts like that week you're a ghoul you know what I'm saying like it's just it's fucking gross I don't even how does she even get their contact information that quick

it feels to me like she it's like a like a munchhausen by proxy situation where she like I'm I feel like I'm guessing here we don't actually know shit I know that's what I keep thinking too it's like I mean I don't know what I don't want to say anything

too wild or whatever because it's like I don't know I don't know what actually happened but I will say just about children's health defense. Like, this is the kind of organization that Republicans always hated my whole life up until through George W. Bush's presidency

because what they do basically is they gin up nuisance lawsuits against like, you know, agricultural product companies and, you know, big pharmaceutical companies and put together fake class actions dudes to get payoffs, like to get nuisance settlements, right? That's what RFK Jr. got rich off of.

And the, remember, like, back in 2000s, Republicans always complained about trial lawyers? They're trying to do tort reform every fucking state. That was this. Right. But now because there's no scam that everybody doesn't love, it's like,

everybody's like, oh, you're a scammer, just come on over, buddy, you're welcome. So this is a lawsuit. They were filing a lawsuit that this family, Children's Health Defense was representing Andrea Shaw and her husband in a lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics.

They were suing, this lawsuit doesn't mean make any sense because she said, she's saying that she told her doctor that her family had had a history of bad, reactions to vaccines. The doctor referred to the AAP's guideline said, no, you don't need to worry about that. So she's suing, not suing her doctor

or the vaccine company. She's suing the company, the organization that made guidelines the doctor went off of when he gave her the recommendation when she decided to vaccinate her kids. It's just a weird target to me to be suing. It's worth note, like, the anti-vacc organizations are already saying that, like, big pharma is having the deep state

frame her. via the Payette, Idaho Police Department. Payette's a red-ass town of 8,000 people an hour outside of Boise. Right. Feels implausible to me. But anyway, I just wanted to... Wait, hold on. What, big pharma is framing her...

Oh, framing her for the murder. Okay. Yeah. They're framing her for the murder because their vaccines did, in fact, kill the kids. It's what the conspiracy theorists are saying. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And so like, I just want to say like me and you where we're from, a 23 year old white trash mom has two kids die simultaneously.

We would have been like, let's wait to see what happened here before we have her on our podcast to talk about it. He was definitely vaccines. But I guess both sides of the grift reliance need the other one. And we just want to point out here. The conspiracy theorists, like see themselves as savvy a lot of times. Like they're seeing through the bullshit. Of course, dude. That's like the whole thing with conspiracy theorists.

I feel like. That seems like it's the number one appeal to me. It's like they, they convince themselves that they're seeing, like, the real hidden truth that the vast majority of people are not savvy enough to, you know, to discern from the world that we live in. They've got it all figured out when nobody else can see through the bullshit, except for them. But here's a concrete example of, like, the opposite case

where it made the children's health defense people extremely credulous in suckers. Because you have a woman who, according to police, murdered her own children. You without knowing anything, she tells you the vaccines did it to get herself off and make herself famous. And you're like, obviously. Right. And now you're associated with an accused murderer.

It's like, oh, no, my kid fell in the microwave for half an hour and I'm suing the microwave company. And you're like, oh, that sounds obvious. Come on. Let's talk about it because I'm against microwaves or some shit. I wanted to talk about vaccine stuff anyway because I was just home, like I said, for my, for my anonymous funeral. And there's currently a measles outbreak happening in Southern Virginia where I'm from. And with 141 measles cases documented statewide of the June 30th, Virginia is now among the top five states, the highest number of measles cases this year,

along with South Carolina, Utah, Texas, and Florida. Out of the 141 cases, 118 are from an outbreak in Buckingham County, which is where I'm from, which is first announced to officials in May, has since spread to Cumberland County. If you got that map, see that big dark dot there where there's a bunch of cases, and that's my home county, baby. Good way to go, Buckingham. Love it.

I do want to say, this headline made me laugh. It's from a publication in Charlottesville says, Virginia has high vaccination rates. Why do we have a large measles outbreak? I think Control F in this piece, you know what a word I did not find was Amish. Okay. My county has a big and growing Amish population.

I'll say big. It's my 270 people, but it's a county population of like 12, 13,000. So, like, it's a noticeable, you know, of the of the population. The Virginia Health Department of Health

put an announcement in Buckingham warning its large gatherings in the county but only listed one event and the way it was phrased it pretty funny.

This advisory includes but it's not limited to the following upcoming event an Amniz Parochial School consignment auction in general

avoid big events just like this one we're listing is don't go around the Amish is what you're saying. Okay. Are you saying

to me that the measles outbreak is amongst the Amish? Yes. Yes. Okay. Wouldn't that have that, like, wouldn't that have always been true of the Amish? I mean, they've never been getting vaccines, right? That's part of their whole thing.

So this is not, this isn't really related to the Maha, like, new school anti-vax thing. I mean, it's bad because now there's more kids outside the Amish that are susceptible to this, right? Amish people are more vaccine hesitant than they used

to be. They also listen to podcasts and shit, right? What? Really? That's what, that's, anytime everybody starts ripping on the Amish and stuff, like Drew's got a whole bit about them and everything, it's like you,

and you always got to say, what, it's not like they're gonna fucking hear it or see it or whatever. Yes. Oh, no. You're not, the Amish listening to this. Sorry for anything I ever said.

The Amish. We did a whole, like, episode last year about the music, The Meals Outbreak in Texas, about the Mennonite community there. And there was a whole movement on the men and I just try to get their fellow Mennonites to get vaccinated,

but it was hard. because they're all like apparently domic people are huge fans of rogan i know i was about to say joe rogan yeah that checks out man is there any demo he can't reach besides that women you know yeah but i do what to say because i just i let every time i come back from home i like to come with an homage update this is this is one of them but i got another one here last time i told you that my niece was telling me that people caught on to their egg scan because not much people sell like homegrown organic eggs except people see them buying eggs and croaker right so they're not

it's easier you just sell the eggs at a bar cup you get them and croaker fucking genius right just don't get the ones of the egg glands best stamp on them right except so they apparently

branched down into candy selling like homemade chocolates or whatever yeah hard rock candy and stuff chocolates which I would make see chocolate covered almonds or whatever makes sense

but my niece says again this is called coming from my niece God blesser it's the uh they're doing it with M&Ms they're selling M&Ms by the pound they still have the M on it

which I'm guessing they're telling people stands for Mennonite. Yeah. No, that's the Mennonite logo. We stamp it with that. We actually paint that on there by hand, everyone. God bless a scam artist, dude.

I just loved it to always have just. Just use the sucker, the English they call us, I think. Yes, the English. Yeah. All right. Well, I guess let's take a quick break, and we'll get back after this and get into, me and Corey last week in your absence talked a little bit about the Scotish ruling.

but of course, not nearly in real depth. Reaction to it because it's been their birth court, the birth bright citizenship ruling because it's been kind of crazy relative to what actually happened. Well, we'll do that right after this. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. You know, we talk about mental health a lot more openly than we used to, but actually asking someone for help,

well, that's still super hard for a lot of people, myself included, I ain't going to lie. BetterHelp's latest research backs that up. to Better Helps 2026 State of Stigma Report surveyed 2,000 Americans and revealed that 85% of Americans believe getting support is wise, yet 74% say society discourages people from actually doing so. So just think about that gap for a second. Damn near, everybody agrees therapy is a smart move, but three quarters of us turn around and say, yeah, but society don't really want you doing it.

That's like everybody agreeing seatbelts are a good idea, but nobody wanted to be seen wearing one. I've told plenty of buddies over the years, man, you don't need me to fix this, you need a professional. Half the time they act, like I suggested, they join a cult, but every single one of them has actually been to therapy, glad they did it. All of them. Cross the board. Closing that gap starts with just talking about it like it's a normal thing because it is a

normal thing. And BetterHelp makes the actual doing it part easier than ever.

It just happened, right? We're right in the thick of it all. Christian nationalists have been using this milestone, though, not to unite folks, but to, you guessed it, divide them. They're pushing the lie that

America was founded to be a Christian nation, where one religious movement gets to decide who really belongs here. Instead of the truth, which is that America was founded as a democracy, committed to liberty and justice for everybody. Remember those words? That's propaganda, not patriotism, all right? It's a dangerous lie used to justify censorship, discrimination, attacks on public schools, assaults on LBGTQ plus rights, restrictions on reproductive freedom and government favoritism toward one specific extremist version of Christianity. Americans United for the separation of church and state is out here fighting back against that egregious misreading of our founding documents.

AU fights every single day for everybody's ability to live as themselves and believe what they want to believe so long as they ain't hurting nobody else. And that shouldn't be a radical idea, but here we are, seeing Christian nationalism weaponize a faith to attack individual freedoms across the country every damn day. So do something actually patriotic this summer while you're dodging the propaganda flying at you from all angles. Become a member of Americans United. By supporting AU, you're committing to stand up and protect church, state, separation

in every area of life. Learn more about how you can support and how AU protects everyone's rights. at AU.org slash crooked. A.U.org slash crooked. Get in the fight. Weekly excuse is brought to you by fast growing trees.

The one in a melon bowl. And what does that sound like? Like that. Booster Juice. Canadian born. Blending since 1999. Well, we're back. Let's go, yeah.

I mean, people aren't being super chill about the birthright. Dude, before the ruling came down, I was on fucking Twitter. I was looking to see what people were saying. And there was some people on there being like some white supremacist motherfuckers on there being like, if they, if this ruling doesn't go in our favor, it's like time for us to take matters into our own hands type shit. Like basically just like, I guess take to the streets and start doing lynch mobs again and stuff is like the subtext of that. But it was pretty fucking crazy. before the ruling even happened.

I guess, but it's not just the Constitution that is against them. It's public opinion. And like, you know, it depends on how you've worded the question, but overall the majority of Americans are super cool with immigrants and like being a nation of immigrants. And it's like it's like it's just, it, whatever. Anyway, I want to talk about the insane reaction.

A lot of people have this goodest birthright ruling because like, it seemed to be over the top relative to what happened, which is basically nothing. Supreme Court, I want to need to emphasize this, just decided to keep things the way they've always been for the last 160 years since the 14th Amendment ratified. Right.

Nothing changed. Right. They shouldn't even taking the case, right? But I wanted, like, just to give you the example of the vibe I'm talking about, here's a clip from Jesse Waters Show where he stops an insane rant by Stephen Miller, White House advisor, Stephen Miller, to try to pretend he's joking because you'll see if I'm talking about if you play this video, man. Right. So you have to, you have to completely rethink.

Are we banning pregnant women from America? Are we banning foreign pregnant women? Well, what I'm saying, Jesse, is that you have to now think very carefully about who you let into your country, even on a temporary basis, because the possibility, as you said, for birth tourism, right? They do that people come here just to have babies on American soil, and that baby gets to be a citizen for life. So you have mothers that come in, fully pregnant. So even though birth tourism is already illegal or justifiable reason to turn people away from the country, they just said it was the topic of a memo that just went out from the. ahead of the DOJ's fraud division, who on Tuesday encouraged prosecutors to pursue such claims and consider additional charges.

So I guess now we're going to plant drugs on the babies or something. I guess pred the women are literally human trafficking, if you think about it, Trey. They're kind of like human shipping containers. Yes. So I get why they would want to have the argument to be about birth tourism, because nobody's, like, in favor of it. It's another way that, like, rich people get over. Right. Right.

so like so but like the idea that like sometimes we talk about like these are like agents of the Chinese Communist Party who are like they're planning like these Menchurian Canada babies oh yeah I saw on some panel on CNN or something some like a maga lady said that there was like 800,000

Chinese agent babies being born a year in this country or something like that are you even 800,000 people born in this country something in sight she it might have been like over the past, whatever it was, it was ridiculous. And the host of that panel with, like, Calder on it was, you know, was like, what? But, yeah, it's pretty wild the way that they talk about it. But like you said, it's been, it's already illegal, you know.

So, the way this will work, from what my understanding is that you're talking, first of all you're talking about wealthy people from Asia mostly, and mostly from Asia, some from the Middle East and Europe, but, like, mostly from Asia, for whatever reason. These aren't, like, hardcore communists. These are, like, rich people who want their kid to be able to go to, Brown and Yale and, you know, Berkeley. Right. They wonder kids to go to get out of China.

Yes. And so you come in, like a tourist visa is like six months, I think. You can't fly, what, after a seventh, eight month or whatever? So this is a person with the resources to come here for six months. You come here when you're five months pregnant. You stay and you give birth to the baby's old enough to get, the baby's born, gets his birth certificate or whatever, and then stays for a couple months and go back. I can't afford to give birth in another country and stay six months.

This is a wealthy person, is my point. Yeah, no, you're right. Yeah, people definitely think about it as being like the, you know, uh, soot-faced muddy immigrants, you know, that they, that come over shoved in the back, shoved in shipping containers and shit like that. Uh-huh. Any type of negative, uh, immigrant conversation always revolves around that, but you can't, you'd have to be rich to be able to do this birth tourism thing.

But I'd mean they do, with the birth tourism, they do also, they rope in the whole whatever communist Manchurian babies and stuff. That's also an aspect. of it. So even though this is an obvious scam, I basically like shrug at it because I can't think of a practical way to stop it that isn't fucking insane. Like stop, you mean stop the thing itself? Like stop yeah. So like like what's, that's why you get through. That's how you get to what Stephen Miller was suggesting, which is don't let pregnant women fly into the country. Right. Which how are you, how do you know if they're pregnant or not? Most women don't know they're

pregnant for the first two months. So like they're going to be finding out they're pregnant at the airport. You make them take a pregnancy. Right. Right. So, plus it's just like, have you found like the one form of rich people getting over that rich people in charge of our government are now against? You know what I'm saying? Yeah. But like, am I the only one to remember is that the administration is currently giving out what they call the Trump gold car, which is you can buy residency in this country for $5 million? Yeah, I remember that being a thing, but that was one of many things that it just popped up. We talked about it and then I never heard about it again until this moment.

So that's like an active program that's ongoing. Yeah, so if you're a rich Chinese person, like, you can't like... Is that really what it looks like? Yeah. That's a screen from the government's own with the executive branch's own website. Oh, my God. So like, so you can pay to have your baby in this country if you're from a high-ranking member of the Chinese Communist Party. You just have to make sure that Trump's face is on it.

Right. And I'm sure it somehow, at least a part of it goes to something that's connected to him on a person. level or something, you know, like the money or whatever. I think it's supposed, I mean, I think it goes in the treasury, but it's a way it's like, you know, when they're trying to like, the tariffs are going to cover, we could get rid of the IRS and income taxes because the tariffs are going to cover that kind of shit. It goes in that bucket of trying to figure out alternative revenue streams. Right.

But so, but I need to know here that like what we're going to be talking about birth tourism a lot today, like the case in front of the Supreme Court was not about birth tourism. No. It was about birthright citizenship. Trump's executive order would have ended birthright citizenship. for everyone whose parents didn't have citizenship, right? So it makes a pregnancy about, like, the idea, first of all, this is very much a rich brain, rich dude brain thing to think because it turns every pregnancy into an active scheming.

It's like, oh, this broad's trying to trap me or trying to get, you're trying to get half my inheritance or like, just going to take half my house with some shit. But it's just like, there's like, the idea that somebody might be here in this country for like, come here in like a work visa, some mess up your paperwork, but you're still here for 20 years. is you live in like Cleveland. You got a wife who's from here and you get married and you have a kid. And now you're saying that kid can't be. Nobody thinks that kids is not American.

And like it's also like I want to point out here that like babies are interesting legal category because they're technically speaking people, right? That's correct, Mark. They are technically speaking people, babies. But they don't have legal accountability because they literally can't make decisions. Yeah, this is all true. I love you talking about. babies.

Yeah, no, no kids right here. So a baby literally did not even make the decision to exist. Didn't ask brought up a lot. Yeah. Right. I didn't ask to exist. I know you didn't. You'd probably prefer otherwise.

Yeah. But the baby did not make a decision to be born in Cleveland. No, none of them ever have. Never would. And if you take away their U.S. citizenship, they don't automatically become citizens of whatever their parents were, China or Guatemala, or France, whatever. Because other countries have more restrictive, like, The thing that makes America cooler and freers

were less restrictive with their citizenship. They're trying to turn us into fucking China. Right. Yeah, I just don't understand. It's wild to me that they, I guess, I'm like, so you would take a kid like that whose parents were illegal immigrants, whatever, but that kid was born in Cleveland,

has never lived anywhere else. It might not even speak any other languages other than English. Has no kind of accent, has gone to only American schools, and it's fucking 16 years old or whatever now. And you, what would you do with them? His, that, their kids' parents are from Guatemala, so he just gets deported to Guatemala place he's never been before in the language he doesn't speak. And it's like, and I guess why these people are like, yes, that's what we should do.

That's just insane to me, you know, that's one of those things that I didn't think that anyone thought, you know, and I guess the majority of people don't think it, but some people, but some people do think it, though. It's like a couple dozen people in this country total and they all have a ton of power. But like, if you, like, you're trying to create a group of stateless people who don't belong to anybody. You're trying to create ISIS, in other words. I don't fucking understand what exactly people you're trying to do here. Anyway, so, like, you take this thing that most people think is at least a bit of a workaround, like birth tourism, because it is.

It's the kind of shit the rich people get away with. And nobody has a practical solution to it. So what you do is instead you imagine some sort of vast conspiracy instead of just some people fucking and making a baby. and by the Chinese communist or whatever to make more people open to let's call them impractical solutions because another practical solutions work. And remember earlier when I said

I can't think of a way to stop it that's not insane? Didn't stop people from pitching some insane ideas. Here's Sean Davis, let me quote here from him. He's a CEO and founder of the Federalist Online Magazine, so a real conservative thought leader on the right. He put in a Twitter post

that there are several ways forward after the ruling. Among them were denying entry to all female forms, foreigners. All female foreigners. Denying any kind of entry? You can't even get male or brides in Trump's America,

trade? What are we talking about? Yeah, no shit. Melania can't get in? Swedish supermodels and stuff. The Swedish bikini team, remember now? Yeah, right? Exactly.

You're going to keep them out? They honestly, pitch banning all pregnant foreigners, but I guess is this, like, would I guess work, except, like, again, how you figure out who's pregnant and who's not, except making water patrol a little bit. They're saying any kind of visa, any reason, anything, no women can come into America for nothing ever.

No. Okay. Well, that's, I mean, that's wild. I think, like, isn't Norway's prime minister, like, isn't she, like, oh, the recent one of, like, birthing AIDS? Can she visit the United States in, like, a diplomatic trip? Right. So, like, like, here's the real one, though. Davis also pitched, quote, mandating sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to adventure.

That's even the Jews. No. Yeah. Yeah. You got to get sniffed, Trey. You're going to America. If you want to fucking... Like, if you want to go see the book of Mormon on Broadway or whatever,

like, you got to get a vasectomy. You got to get a sterile. What the fuck, dude? All these people are in this country for the World Cup right now, you know, from everywhere. So many of them. They would have all had to have been sterilized before they could come to these soccer games. Like, if these motherfuckers had their way.

That's just so clearly an insane, like, mustache twirling level, insane thing to say. Even Dave was probably realizing because he later deleted that post. But like, so you're saying early Holland can't bring in his seven Nordic Viking pagan brides? Right. So Jack Pasebic is the influencer, said in a social media post, they quote, The court never said we can't mandate spot pregnancy test for foreigners. So we're going to establish a new wing of border border. patrol called the Piscop's.

It's going to collect. Do you do, I mean, I can use a federal pension. I guess I'll hold a Piscop at the airport. Yeah, they might get the different kind of applicants than they're expecting for the Piss Cop Corps, you know. Yeah. So we're real perverts. Yeah, right. I want to get in the Piss Brigade.

Dude, Sam Alito and his dissent warned the decision in this case will lead to the formation of terrorist sleeper cells. So keeping things the same way they've been since the 1860s is going to lead to babies starting Hamas? Mm-hmm. I wish everyone could just be fucking sane. It's kind of a similar thing to like the transgender bathroom deal, I sort of feel like, you know what I mean?

Where it's like, this is nothing. This wasn't a thing. This is, these rules are the way the rules have been this whole time. But you're acting like if we don't change it now, it's going to start this. this huge like spate of sexual assaults and stuff coming from trans people for some reason, even though we're in favor of just doing nothing, you know, but also like you were saying earlier about how a lot of this stuff is already illegal.

And then people do it's like, same thing. It's like the sexual assault is illegal. Like anyone who wants to sexually assault somebody has never decided not to do it because of a sign on the door. Do you know what I mean? And to be like, oh, I guess I can't do it in there. That would be breaking the rule. you know like it's none of it ever made any sense and this is another I mean all all their

shit is a version of that it feels like it never makes any sense it's all like boogeyman bullshit half the time it always kills me is I walk around like I've traveled all around this country I meet people my day-to-day of all walks life all sorts of political beliefs for the most part same right you can talk to them nobody thinks we should be collecting piss samples because of the airport but people get on the end internet and just say the craziest shit. And then some of them say it repeated on the cable news, but the White House behind them, it's fucking crazy.

So I did a couple of things I want to say here. Like, it's not, is actually possible to be in favor of a more restrictionist immigration policy without being either stupid racist, conspiratorial, or insane. It's not my position. I like immigrants. I think they're fucking dope. But I'm a more than mirror kind of guy. But I just, I also just like living in an open society where a bunch of, we're a, we're

a bunch of cool people want to live. It feels like the cost of doing business for living in a cool place. Right. That's why I'll only complain about real estate prices in California passingly. It's a fucking annoying, but like the weather's good. What do you want? The apartments are going to be expensive. Yeah, right.

It's like that whole you're not in traffic, you are traffic thing. Do you know what I mean? It's like, yeah, well, I moved here from Tennessee. People want to live here. Of course it's fucking super expensive. So it's possible to be for a strict immigration. positive without being racist. A lot of people find it really, really hard.

I want to look at this cartoon Ben Garrison put up here after the decision. By the way, do you know Ben Garrison's a really talented artist outside of his political cartoons? He does like modern, like cubist modern art that's really fucking good. No, I didn't know that and that bothers me. I wish I hadn't learned that. Because I just

like, yeah, I just thought he was just a racist hack, so it sucks. He's got actual talent. So this is John Roberts, midwifing a pack of I'll give him a defense three of those dozen babies are white

right yeah and the one and the one riding an anchor specifically appears to be white so at least he's being even handed

I like the one with the fes he put a Moroccan baby in there I guess the Vietnamese like the conicals like yeah rice paddy hat

whatever it's called and all these kids are being birthed by Amy Coney Barrett Yeah. So she like, like, she gets extra, whenever the Supreme Court does this and they were like, there was the three liberal justices and then Roberts and Connie Barrett, right? Yeah.

So I signed a majority opinion, which is like the way majority and minority opinion, it doesn't mean all of them were in support of like Trump's whatever. Some of them just thought that Trump had the power to do it even if it was stupid. And they just like, so anyway, the Barrett gets extra heat for this because she has seven kids, I think, two of them are adopted by the Haitians, right? Yeah, right. Yeah. So they're just,

they're thinking she's like making an immigration policy to help her two kids, which are already here and her citizens or some shit? I don't know, but they, like, it makes me feel like it's extra racialized or whatever. And like I said,

you would be forgiven if you're thinking the Supreme Court actually did something drastic. I want to quote here, you didn't see a bunch of like, I feel like everyone's being misled by those social media algorithms. The people have thought the Supreme Court

were going to strike down birthright of citizenship. We're fooled. You were being lied to by, by people for click-baking money to give you... Yeah, I mean, I will say, like when I said earlier,

I checked, like, Twitter the morning of when the decision was coming down and there was all these people talking about, even the most maniacal of the right-wing lunatics that I saw,

most of them, it seemed like they were, like, bracing for impact kind of thing, meaning like, we're going to take to the streets when this decision comes down because it's going to be bad.

You know what I mean? It seemed like a lot of them knew that it wasn't going to happen, but they were furious about it all the same. Yeah, and there weren't a lot of right-wing lawyers who signed on to this or thought I'm going to do anything because they knew it was a stupid case the whole time. Let me quote here.

This is from Greg Nunziata, who was an aide for Marco Rubio when Rubio was a senator, and he's now the executive director of something called a society for the rule of law, which is a group founded by conservative legal figures from previous Republican administrations. He said, quote, the right-wing meltdown over the citizenship case

is shockingly dishonest. The ruling preserves the status quo. The majority landed where most conservative scholarship has been. It's worth noting here. A lot of arguments in the briefs, and you've got to go to like an actual lawyer, a constitutional lawyer to like understand the shit better than me.

I can just read it and kind of know what the words say. But a lot of the arguments are about the meaning of the word domicile in the 14th Amendment, like what it means to be domicile in the United States. Because people used to give birth in their houses so it had a little bit more meaning. Right, right. So the decision was five to four. But if the question was, are immigrants human, which a lot of people think the case was, it probably would have more like seven to two.

It would have been, nothing was going to get unanimous here. But like, it wasn't like, let me quote here from John Roberts, you know, Chief Justice John Roberts, very conservative, writing for the majority, said, citizenship then and now was the right to have rights to freely participate in their political community. The framers of the 14th Amendment extended that promise to every freeborn person in this land. We keep that promise today. So Trump's executive order we try to do find the replace in the constitutional. without doing any actual work has failed.

As I'm going to point out to anybody's super mad about this, that if you think you're being played here or whatever, you probably are correct because Trump controls the government. There's plenty of stuff they can do. He has the presidency, Congress, both houses, the majority of the courts, including yes, the Supreme Court. I just want to point out to note that they haven't even attempted to change a single immigration law, and no one ever points that out.

Right. Didn't he say after this came out, didn't he get on true social and say something like, something like, whatever, we'll do it or we'll do it a different way through Congress, or he told Congress to do it or something, I thought, after they ruled against him? He can try, but his own coalition doesn't believe what it doesn't. When the rubber meets the road, when they have to be honest with putting stuff in writing for legislation, they can't, like, because you got the, you got the, you got the, you know, chamber of commerce conservatives who want cheap labor, right?

Right. You got the, you know, Texas and Arizona conservatives who have a bunch of... Who are Mexican. Right? Right. Yeah. And like, so they can't even agree. Like, so I just want to point out here, like, they have sick.

They could have a house and 60 seats in the Senate and still wouldn't be able to get something done. Like, they're the hold up here. It's not Democrats. They usually may remember there was a bipartisan immigration reform thing that for it, before crackdown of the border that passed last year. And Trump made Republicans in the Senate not. agree to vote for it because he wanted the issue for the campaign. Right. A chance of anything remotely getting better to get the issue.

Because the main thing was staying out of jail. Yep. Right. So like the idea, I don't know, man. It's just like, like, I don't think people pay less enough attention to the news.

They would have given Biden a bunch of credit for, for doing well with conservatives on immigration. Like, I don't think anybody would have given, you should let Biden do Biden pass it. He would have had the law now, right? Stephen Miller Like

I want to bring that up to point That's out This Stephen Miller could just talk to his boss Because he works at the White House And pass a law to do something About immigration if he wants to But instead he gets on Twitter He posts stuff like this

If you believe a foreign government Can sail a hospital ship To the edge of U.S. territorial waters Deliver 100 babies to foreign moms Then promptly sail back to a foreign port And then every one of those babies Is American for Life You don't believe in nationhood at all

Okay. I mean, so that's the thing he made up, right? Is that from like a Bond movie that he saw or something? Like a super villain on a fucking floating baby-making boat? One, like, it's just like they love it to govern by these insane hypotheticals, which is no way to run anything, right? It's like, are you saying that a pregnant Korean woman who was launched in a troubleshay from Mexico to Canada and popped her baby out over Arizona and it parachuted into Phoenix?

He could run for president one day? Right. I guess yeah, that is what I'm saying. Yeah. After the comic book about his life has finished running, they could then go into politics. I just want to also say that Stephen Miller was not a lawyer,

even though he acts like he is one a lot of times. Because if he actually looked it up, he would have known the hospital ships, even when docked are the jurisdiction of their nation of origin. So no one can disembarked from them without clearing customs. So this weird hypothetical doesn't even fucking work. It's like if you were born on a U.S. Navy ship that's docked in Bahrain, you're not Bahrainianian,

you're fucking American. Right. So anybody, this is another one example is about like a lot of people who basically exist in like a magical realist universe where every day is some mystery emerging, a hint of a dark spell cast

by vague outsiders who were out to get you. The idea that a bunch of Chinese people are trying to get birth floating off the coast of Guam for what? So they can vote in the, like a Tempe, Arizona city council election?

I don't know, man. Just because they're being ordered to by, you know, the Chinese leadership, Mark, they're all giving their orders to get pregnant on the boats and stuff and make the little spy babies. But they'll then deploy years later, see. So, but like, I just don't understand. I'm trying to think of this. The talking about the magical realist thing. Like, these people, like, I want to play this clip from Fox News, if you got it, for example.

So it's off topic, but it's an example of the kind of, like, paranoid. mindset that we're apparently ruled by right now if you got this clip messy. Well, also, not only is it a distraction in this way, but what if it's an intentional distraction? What if a stunt like this is an intentional distraction for a nefarious purpose elsewhere? I mean, the possibilities here, well, I don't, I don't see this as funny in any regard. I see this as cloaking a lot more nefarious potentially things. And I hope the internet does not celebrate these two, like they celebrate most idiots that we have on our screen.

Two people that climbed the Empire State Building last week to do a stunt for their as influencers and so one of them could propose the other way. Right. And they're saying it like it's a distraction, which by the way, if you're a TV newscaster talking about something of his distraction, no one is making you fucking broadcast this.

They're trying to, like, remember the pilot for justified how Boyd Crowder's run this hostel where he'd pretend to do racist attacks on black churches. So everyone would the castle go to the church and rob a bank? Right. All right. They're saying that the climbing,

the Empire State Building is a plot like that. are like Antifa sleeper agents led by Azura Mamdami and steal the Statue of Liberty. Right. And it's a late, it's two dinguses who climbed the statue. First of all, badass thing to do.

Yes. I'm scared. Are they getting the book thrown at them or anything? Do you think? They're eligible for like, I don't know. I mean, like, they'll probably get, they're from Russia, I think, so they get kicked out of the country.

I hope they don't get any fucking serious jail time. Just get told not to do it again. Right. But like, these, like, we're, I just don't know what to think of people to operate in this level of reality because it's like like first of all if there was a plot to rob a bank or something and these two people are part of it i have better ways to do a distraction they're less risky and you don't have to go to jail for it whatever get at me bank robbers but another example

what i'm talking about so in may ronda sanis signed a law called the foreign interference restriction enforcement act called the defier act it does a couple things it has escalator penalties for any crime the benefits of foreign country and I mean any crime from shoplifting to spray painting graffiti which is like and also any country so obviously this is for if you block a if you block a street as a Gaza protester it's so they can hit you with a you know selling more serious than just a ticket so you get actual jail time right but if you think I're going to stop there I think that's pretty crazy if I hope you don't do any you know howlum burglary is that could construe as a aid to Guatemala in some way but another part of this is

is like, targets birth tourism and surrogacy. Let me quote here. A major provision of the new law prohibits free planned adoption agreements and gestational surrogacy contracts if any party involved is a citizen or resident of a, quote, foreign country of concern, specifically naming China. The governor characterized certain surrogacy operations as a seedy thing used to secure U.S. citizenship for children who are then raised abroad. Is he alleging the sneaky Chinese are mailing their sperm to Florida?

Yeah, right. Yeah, is that what, yeah, having Chinese, like having a Florida surrogate carry a Chinese baby in Florida? That's just capitalism, baby. Like, so like, I'm guessing this is one of the, this is the one kind of parenthood and pregnancy that the state has the ability to regulate. Like, the state does regulate surrogacy contracts and adoption, right? Right. They can't stop two Chinese people from fucking in Orlando. Not yet.

Maybe. I just like, I don't know. We can talk about this and the guy, you know, the 250 just happened, the form of the Declaration of Independence. And like, I just want to point out here that like, in the Declaration of Independence, one of their main complaints was here that no one ever talks about. I'm equal to hear from the Declaration. Talking about the King George. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners, refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither. that was listed ahead of taxes by the way

right yeah I mean well dude we you know the colonial had come over here and killed all the native people with smallpox and stuff so it was you know 95% of the population was gone it's a big ass country it's a big ass country it's wide open it's empty you know they were like we're gonna need to fucking

get some people in here it wasn't it was they were welcoming immigrants but it wasn't just about walking the state part of their big beef from the way we were talks about was like they wanted to keep moving west and the British Empire did not want to keep moving west

because they didn't have the resources to expand at that point so they were they weren't just like we welcome to immigrants for like you know the kindness of their heart they wanted more bodies because they were numbering up

to take the fucking continent yeah of course right and so I'm just saying they needed bodies at that point and we still need bodies like this is all so self-destructive it'll go away but Jesus fucking crazy all right well
