Weekly Skews - S6 Ep6: Weekly Skews – A Most Violent Year (It’s Been Three Weeks)

Episode Date: January 28, 2026

Unfortunately, we had very little time to discuss the latest rapper to try to become a LinkedIn Mar-a-Lago guy because of the weekend’s events in Minneapolis. It seems perhaps we’ve reached the limits of lying about: things we can all see, the sequence of events in linear time, and the plain meaning of third-grade vocabulary words. Also, the people who defrauded Kyle Rittenhouse’s GoFundMes think guns are bad now. Confusing times.This episode is sponsored by Ridge Wallet.

We're recording this on Monday, January 26th at about 1.30 p.m. on the left coast. That's where we're coming to from in time and space. Send this missive across the digital ether in the form of another episode of weekly skews on. That's Mark. How you doing, Mark? I'm good, man. What do you want to talk about today? I don't know. Not much going on. No more public executions come up lately. The contradictions are so heightened, bro.

I would have rather talked about this. So I would have spent in a normal, you know, non-nightmare existence. We just spent 20 minutes talking about how Waka Flaqa Flame is going to be the keynote speaker or something at a Latino Wall Street event in Moralago in February.

Why would, what is anybody doing? I don't know. I'm fascinated so often by it. these whole world and ecosystems that exist that I just haven't completely unaware of or whatever else. Do you know what I mean?

You're like, right. Who goes to that? Like, who are these people? What are they doing there? There's all this money involved, obviously? I don't know. It's crazy. Yeah.

Yeah, Waka's government name with Joaquin Malpher's. I'd forgotten that back in 2015 he announced he was going to run for president even though he wasn't constitutionally eligible because he's only 30 years old. and he'd be 35 and Rick Flair was his running bait

completely fucking memory old that. Do you remember this at all that? No, I don't remember that at all either. I would imagine Rick Flair doesn't remember it either. If you've seen anything

Rick Flair's posted in the past well since then, decade, yeah. I remember one of the Rick Flair documentaries they asked him if he was the alcoholic and his response was, how would I know? I never tried to stop.

Yeah. I mean, tapping my temple, you know I can't be unable to stop if you refuse to attempt it you know so give your case

you're wondering uh uh uh, uh, Joaquin slash Waka Flake's uh campaign platform was for legalizing marijuana

obviously raise the minimum wage and creating better trade opportunities for school students. All good. Also, other proposals including banning drugs from restaurants

and making it illegal for people with shoe sizes above 13 to walk on public streets. Man, I call it a real stray at the end there. I'm 13 exactly. I don't know if that counts. I don't know if I'd be sent to his gullai,

his big, his hobbit feet gulags or not that Waka flakas come up with. He got like stomped by a bunch of clowns, you know, and fucking, with their comically large shoes on. What's he got against people with big feet? It's funny, that took a real 180 for me because the banning dogs and restaurants,

I was like, this guy's making a lot of sense, you know. And then, and then he just had to come after us big feet of American, so I can't support Waukewaxi for us. flaca, flaca, unfortunately.

I didn't know you were a size 13, I guess I never looked at your feet. But, yeah, yeah, you know what to say, yeah.

My, um, hands, well, people have said, I think people have also, are your hands very large, too?

No, I, like, like, one of my basketball handicaps was having a short wingspan was I can't grow up back,

and grab a basketball. I got a fairly small hands for a, for a man. Because I've had people, uh, I've had people after shows say like, you know, I,

I think it was funny. Whenever, I just had trouble paying attention because I kept getting distracted by your freakishly large hands. So like, it's like a thing. But somebody recently, like the patron or something said that they thought they'd notice that you had large hands too and that they wanted to know whose hands were bigger. But anyway, but yeah, my hands and feet have been the same comically oversized proportion since I was like 13.

Like when I went through puberty, that was the first thing. It's like I floated out of bed one night and just like, my hands and feet just got massive. I was still 5'5'6. So I was 5'6 with size 13. I wore shack shoes. Ridiculous, dude. But anyway, yeah, I'm a weirdly shaped person.

I never knew that. It's just one of your curses. You got Randy Rambo's personality and Randy Quaid's body. There you go. Yep. Oh, what a joy. All right. I was going to get into you.

You know what we're going to actually be talking about. Of course, what else would we be. talking about producer matt's back there doing his thing and so with that said let's begin as always with the daily dumbass matt graphic please today's dd border patrol dipshit's who made the mistake of awakening antifa bad santa here we go this is in minnesota of course i'm fine there i'm you freeze anything i'm just got angry i'm 70 years old yeah i mean that's the temper of this moment Right?

Yeah. So in the longer, unedited version of the, the footage of that guy, he takes a bottle of water to potentially have to watch his eyes out, walks off into the fucking tear gas. And I just got to say,

that guy should not be put in this situation. And the news to be calling him a protester, we're going to get into that a little bit, but it's not fucking accurate or fair to call a guy a protester. He's got tear gas floating through his fucking yard. Right. Right. Yeah, I know.

That's kind of what I said. I made a video about this that have not put out yet, are recording this, but I'm going to right after. And I got in the whole idea of, like, the idea that, you know, it's paid protesters in Secret Antifa and George Soros and all that shit. That's what all this is, whatever.

It's not real. And just, you know, I sat in there. It's like, it shouldn't need to be explained to y'all that regular people, like, when they see, you know, armed gangs of mass, thugs rampaging through their own neighborhoods, like inciting violence and killing people and harassing school children and shit, that they get upset by that and want that to stop. Like, that doesn't make them political agitators or whatever.

It just makes them like, you know, human beings. Like, I don't, to me, I don't understand anybody looks at this even from 2,500 miles away like me and you are. I don't understand how anyone watches it even through a screen and is okay with it. alone cheers it on, but especially people that are there that actually live there. Like, fuck, dude. What do you expect? I know that we talk too much about the right-wing internet on this show,

but you really can't understand anything the Trump White House is doing without understanding the right-wing internet, because they're not in the same reality the rest of us are. Right. Like, they literally get their news from the craziest people on Twitter. Like, if you're not looking at Gunther Eagleman, they tweet Gunther Eagleman tweets, like it's the president's daily national security briefing.

Right. And what Gunther Eagleman is tweeting all weekend was that, uh, uh, uh, the grab, like, people in Minnesota are filming, like, the community setups they have and like people are showing up to like these, uh, uh, protests or no-go zones. They're blocking off the streets of trash cans and stuff to block the border patrol vehicles. And they, they, people break coffee and like donuts and shit. Right. And he's like, this is a professional operation. This is like, this is a professional quality and green. It's like jugs of milk for potential tear gas to wash your eyes out.

And I'm like, this is just a... Thinking. head. Planning. It's just planning shit. It's like, it's the same thing as like, fucking,

I don't know if there's like some sort of cheer meat or neighborhood jamboree or something. And the moms are like, hey, pitch in and bring, I'll bring chips. You bring Capri Sons. You bring whatever.

It's like, this is just what fucking people do when you gather. You're going to be there. You fucking, if you're not an idiot, you plan for shit and bring things that, you know, people like food,

refreshments, whatever. But they're called paid protesters are people that just have the resources to take a minivan and make a Costco run. Exactly. And they also are, they've shown, they've confiscated some Antifa person's phone and a signal chat or they infiltrate a signal chat

or whatever and it's going through it. It's like, look, this is proof that it's an organized operation, clandest and all this stuff, because people are like sharing information about ice activities and their neighborhoods and stuff and vehicles are driving and shit. It's like, again, that's just prudent. Like

that's not, that's just keeping everybody. It's the same type of shit that happened. My wife sent me a text earlier from a Facebook group she's in for our neighborhood where we live because I guess something's going down at one of the school, nothing truly insane, but something happened at one of the middle schools today, not the one of my sons are at, but like people are posting about it in the group that they all share because it like affects everyone. And so it's like, that's not Antifa stuff. Again, that's just what you do. It's all very natural and like, I don't know. But that's sort of what I'm getting at.

It's like, like, we're talking about like this being professional grade supplies, for Antifa or whatever. It's just like you realize, oh, these people have never been to a pot. Like, they're not familiar with the idea of a potluck. Or like, the kind of, they kind of spread, like a mom would set up after a fucking soccer game.

Right. They don't have any sense of community. These guys that, like, idolize the 1950s because they want a high trust community society are literally just not getting off their computer to go outside and participate in it. Because it does exist. They're just fucking lonely psychos. He spent 23 hours a day.

the internet giving information and intakes to the White House who then act upon them because they're the same fucking internet psychos. Trump is kind of has the most accurate understanding of the political reality of them because he also watches cable television. Now, I want to understand how fucking sick that is. Like, he will actually see somebody who disagrees them occasionally because of the stupid fucking embrace debate format of these shows. So he at least is aware that there are people pushing back on stuff.

And when he sees like, I don't know, one of the CNN talking heads or the lady on the five or on Fox, like make a good point. It's like, oh, fuck, I'm losing this battle. So anyway, Bovino might be pulling out of Minnesota tomorrow, Greg Bovino and Border Patrol. So our manufactured National Nightmare might be temporarily over until something else fucking happens to drive them insane. Aren't they now sending Homan there?

Like, what's that? Is he supposed to de-escalate or something or fix it? By the standards of such things, Holman is one of the same ones. Yeah, that's wild. Yeah. So I just want to take stock of how silly this all he is here, because this is mostly been Border Patrol's fuck up. It's actually head of Border Patrol, Greg Vivino, who's been running all this, this whole operation in Minneapolis.

Reportedly, if you believe it, because the head of ICE kind of disagrees with the way Christy, Chris and Noem and Corey Lewandowski want to do it real loud and flashy. But, like, Border Patrol's fuck up is going to get ICE abolished. Because fuck, ICE is a cooler, shorter slogan than fuck Border Patrol, and ICE's brand is just in the trash. I saw it like there's a story in the New York Times this morning where insider ice is like we've completely lost the public trust we probably won exist in three years. That ICE official has more faith in our government to change things to try to make life better for American citizens than I do. I'll just put it that way. All right. Do you want to talk about the shooting for a second itself?

Because we're not going to show the video. I don't fucking want to, but I've seen all five or six or whatever. And because the way these things work, these things, we talked about. about the last one, Renee, then Ray good, I'll get a prudor phone, but, like, these things always break down,

like, we're all separately watching Paul Bort, mall cop, like it was a Rochaman phone. Right. What did you see when you saw it, Trey?

Do you watch it? Yeah. I mean, he was, like, trying to help her assist the lady who got shoved by the ice guys. They both got,

like, pepper sprayed. He had his phone in his hands. Then he got, got like tackled, they jumped on top of them, they seemed to have him under control to me, and then they just like shot him. And then he had a gun, but he didn't, like, pull the gun or anything. At least that's my understanding, and I certainly didn't see him pull a gun.

And it was a registered firearm and all that. So that's my perspective of it. It seems clear to me that he didn't initiate, Alex Prudy, he ever talking about, didn't initiate the confrontation. He didn't hit them. He didn't brandish his gun. They tackled and beat him, disarmed him, then shot him. while he was on his knees with at least one hand on the ground.

Well, again, they had already taken his gun away and a guy had taken into a truck. All right. It was on his way to take it to a truck. And then one of the cops, like, clapped after Prattie was killed, one of the board of people guys. And apparently just like with Renee Good, a doctor showed up, or at least someone has since come forward to saying they're a doctor and they lived there and that they tried to, same thing, tried to offer medical assistance and was not allowed to for a while and then finally were. and then it was too late or whatever. And the border patrol guys just sat there while he bled out. Yeah, let me quickly.

The court filing, they quotes the doctor who is a pediatrician, I believe. As I approached, I saw the victim was lying on his side and was surrounded by several agents. I was confused as to why the victim was on his side because that's not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR standard practice. Instead of doing other of those things, ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds. So I'm not sure why they do that because he was shot once. He was clear, like the guy shot him in the back of the head, it looks like from the video. He was dead and then him and at least one other agent pumped another nine rounds into him.

Got a sympathetic fire is to make sure he was dead. I like the tragic far as this, we did an episode late late the fourth quarter last year. I forget we spent a long time talking about the the, the, the, the, traversed around the Sig Sauer P-320 handgun. Oh, that's right. Yeah. All right. And at the time I thought, I was like, well, I'm interested in this. It's kind of an interesting example of like the failures of American capitalism and the state capture the government. A bunch of cops, police agencies are like, had a standard issue that's gun.

It goes off by itself and shoots cops in the leg. And then when police agencies try to stop using it and move away from it, Sig Sauer sued them to make, force them to use their weapon and try to, I think it was that wherever they're based. Ohio, I think, had the state house try to give them immunity from lawsuits for all the people that are getting, they're getting shot with a dysfunctional firing mechanism. Right? We're not usually a gun tube kind of show, but I just thought that was interesting.

Anyway, Prady's gun was a 6-hour P320, and when they took it off of them, it looks like it goes off and fires him the pavement while he's walking away while one of the guys is yelling gun, because it's a standard procedure. You say, gun, maybe he'll go, there's a gun involved in a situation where you're taking it away, and then the gun goes off.

To me, I think that's probably why the guy pulled his gun and shot, because it's hurt a gunshot and fucking panicked. So a lot of American failure is picking in this situation. Corporate regulation, like capitalism, regulatory capture, and then police,

you know, malfeasance, lack of training, scared dipshits being deployed in ways they're not meant to be used. It's just like, this sum of all fucking failures all at one time.

Anyway, good luck to Sig Sauer because Trump gave a press availability yesterday. We called Trace Fire. I'm quote, dangerous and unpredictable, adding, it's a gun that goes off

and people don't know it. So, Six Hour, you dug your own grave, there, buddy. They also, the cops tried to arrest all the witnesses, which is how you know that they definitely acted honorably here. Also, just this small world we got going on

here. When they shot Renee Good, the doctor that tried to help her, it wasn't allowed to. Do you remember that? Yes, right, yeah. Work with Alex Prere at the VA hospital. Oh, wow. I did not know that part. Yeah. So all the people's lives have been irrelevably altered by this fucking three-week occupation. It's fucking

crazy, man. Yes, that's what I'm saying. You made that point last time about how, like, this is just, this is like a place that people live, and that's what we're saying. People there are being affected by it every day, and they're fucking, you know, I'm sure, stressed out and over it to say the least and want it

to end, you know. Like, I can't, like, like, like, it's hard to, like, convey, and I would read, there's lots of, like, Minnesota Starop Tribune's been great about this. I think they've taken a lot stuff about finding the paywall. You interview people with life's like that right now. Basically everyone

of color hasn't gone outside in weeks. Right. And even if you're like a straight white guy like me, if you just run out and grab a sandwich, you've got to go through three checkpoints where they scan your face into one of their fucking psychopathic databases and watch a bunch of people get kidnapped and move you drive your car around, cars are left empty just sitting there because they kidnapped the fucking people in them. And like I like, the national media has done an awful job of

describing this to the point with like, like I know that I think you know it's seen a bunch of old world quotes floating around lately but you know that the truth is the first casualty in war right kind of thing

purely just using straightforward vocabulary words in ways that are misleading for one calling this a law enforcement action is crazy right ICE is barely law enforcement there's supposed to be somewhere

between like a mall cop and like a park ranger they're not supposed to be like border patrol is not supposed to be hundreds of miles from the fucking border

deployed an urban environment, right? This is all insane. And like the state had, they called this law enforcement operation. After Preddy was killed, the state got a judicial warrant signed by a judge to investigate the scene as a murder. And the feds would not let them onto the scene

so they could keep destroying evidence. And we're still calling this law enforcement. Yeah. I mean, I do think, I mean, to me, I think it depends on the context because if it's immediately followed by if you call them law enforcement agents or whatever and it's immediately followed by executed a man in the street or whatever then it's uh do you know what i mean the contract it it sounds even more fucked up not i'm going to say even more fucked up it sounds as fucked up as it is

but you understand what i'm saying i feel like if it depends on how if you're like sane washing it by just talking about oh they're just simply trying to execute a law enforcement operation then yeah that feels disingenuous, but pointing out that ostensibly, these are people that are enforced the law who are breaking it. Yeah, right. That, you know, so, you know, anyway. You're watching, like,

this is not like some small cow law breaking operation. Like, like, a one reporter counted 2300 cases since July in which federal judges have ruled that ICE illegally detain people without bond or due process. There's a word for that. It's called kidnapping. Um, 2300 kidnappings done by federal agents

since July. Let me quote here, a judge's ruling based on one of these cases, and I want you to listen to the frustration in the judge's voice and what this judge is describing. Thus, it appears that respondents being in the government, arrested a chronically ill 70-year-old woman who came to this country

to avoid religious persecution and applied for asylum, who has lived here peacefully for 26 years, and complied with all check-in requirements and other conditions of release, who has no known criminal record and poses no threat to anyone, without notice or without process required by their own regulations, and without any plan for

removing her from the country, then kept her in detention for months without sufficient medical care, and they do not have any argument to offer or even try to justify these actions. Furthermore, having acknowledged that they have no opposition to present to Petitioner's habeas court petition, they have they voluntarily released her? No. Thus, she remains in custody, and her counsel and the court are required to expand resources and effort to address the matter that respondents either cannot or be bothered to defend or realize as indefensible. So they took this woman, for no reason. They asked, the government the courts asked why they took her like we don't know we let her loose no where is she

i don't know why don't you let her loose i don't know and we're calling them law enforcement what the fuck is going on here right i and that's that but that's just how they like get to act you know again people are supposed to be in places to enforce things like this they just get like shrugged off under trump and the trump administration there's like oh really oh well whatever Fuck you. They just keep doing it. You know, so then what? Yeah.

Another word, another word, everyone keeps using super credulously, even it has nothing to do with it. He called this an immigration enforcement operation. No, it's fucking not. They've caught a few of immigrants

among the thousands of people they've injured or detained, but most of the people are here legally or citizens, and they killed two citizens. And Pam Bodhi put out a threat statement late last week that they would leave if the state of Minnesota

would just hand over their voting roll data. So we're here to do immigration enforcement, a black male would never be handing over voter roll data. Which one is it? What is that about, by the way? The vote, like, are there, is she, is their position saying, like,

because we know you're committing voter fraud and we're, you're, you won't, you, we, we're, uh, you know, asserting that you won't prove it by handing it over, hand it over and we'll leave, you know, yeah, but you won't do it, will you? Because you know you're committing voter fraud. Like, that's their position.

Right. Trump said he, he actually won, Minnesota three times even though he lost it three times that's one of the main reasons they're there like they I'm sure somebody who ever pitched him on this on this idea is like well the Somali welfare fraud is also key is also akin to the it's like they're they're paying the Somalians welfare

money to get them to vote against you it's part of a rigged election system to like you know whatever how they sell fucking Trump on shit but so anyway so again that's one strike against it being in immigration enforcement and then today the gatherer is running for governor on the Republican ticket and I want to remember the context here

Tim Walls dropped out of running for a third term because the welfare scandal was proving too big of distraction. So the race was at least closer neck and neck. And now the leading Republican candidate named Chris Mandel, I guess, M-A-D-E-L, has dropped out of the race and says he can't support federal retribution against Minnesota or the National Party anymore. So is an immigration enforcement when one of the state's leading of Republicans is calling a just retribution against the voters of Minnesota?

And by the way, this is a guy, Chris Madel is a lawyer, who volunteered to, represent Jonathan Ross for killing Renee Good three weeks ago. That's how much worse the Alex Prady shooting is than even Renee Good shooting. Right. Another word,

we talked about it with the fucking 70-year-old guy screaming the mic we started this segment with, but like, protester. The word protesters being used completely incorrectly incorrectly. Alex Prattie was not protesting. He was not. He was not.

He was not advocating anything. He was following Icy and surround of recording them on his phone. That is, he's a legal observer. We're talking about a situation where Congress people are being turned away from detention facilities. Federal officers are acting like they're above the law. J.D. Vance has said they have, they have complete immunity. And literally the only people watching for any kind of oversight at all are the people with cell phones.

Right. They're supposed to be a democracy. If no one else is going to do it, it's left it to Alex fucking Freddie. Mm-hmm. So stop calling them protesters. That's not what they're doing. They're doing their civic duty as fucking as citizens of a republic trying to hold their government accountable

because no one else is going to do it. They're lucky if they call them protesters. Call them domestic terrorists, you know. That's a good analogy because the logic is I remember reading an essay last year about how the word terrorists is so overused that the definition of terrorists follows the bullet. if you get shot

you become a terrorist retroactively just like if you get beat during an ice operation you're not someone that can deport you become a protester and therefore your beating was justified

the same way a terrorist murder was justified by the fact they were murdered right it's all cash 22 word games here like last week this is off topic but like a CBS freelance cameraman

was killed in Gaza and the Israeli government said oh well they're with Hamas is a Hamas cameraman. And CBS News reported he was Hamas affiliated. I'm like, he's your fucking employee. What are you doing?

Like, anyway, tell my Hoor is not a protester. This guy, being interviewed on the news, called, he's talking about his background. He's an HOA president

who works in, like, organ on mortgage applications for Wells Fargo. And they play the interaction with this reporter. How long will you stay out here? To my balls get cold. Just tell it, tell it, it gets too cold.

The ball's that cold. They got guys working well as far out there, to their balls get cold, and not going to like their paid agitators for Antifa. This fucking thing just drives me absolutely insane. Like, these people will not accept reality. They're just hated and just like to people politically oppose them. Right.

Yeah, no. That's what I was saying. They have to rationalize it into, yeah, they're all whatever, paid protesters, agitators, fucking, you know, Antifa, whatever,

because like you said, they, in their minds, they're right about everything and everyone who's sane and good agrees with them. And so if you don't, then something else must be going on.

Any resistance to them is organized and part of a conspiracy. Like literally any. Like, here's an example, like Saturday night, a couple federal agents or contractors were eating at an Indian restaurant.

And when people in a restaurant, like, noticed they were with the federal government and they just, they felt vaguely disapproved of. They had something that they've, Right. People were outrolling or pointing or making fun of them or whatever with whispering.

But they called Bortak. The Border Patrol's Tactical Unit. And they came to the restaurant and walked around threatening everyone with tear gas containers. Because the people that were at the Indian restaurant when they came in to eat must be part of an organized conspiracy to fucking make their meal less pleasant. Also, I would not be eating at any sort of ethnic restaurant if I was. Oh shit with ice badge on? That's crazy, dude. Hope you enjoyed your fucking chick-ticket-ticket shit masala.

Yeah, no shit. This is like, like, this is like, every, every part of this is based upon, like, lies based upon lies based upon lies. Like, we talked, me and Drew talked last week about, um, ICE, uh, it raided a guy's house and they detained a among guy who had been here since the 70s, who was an American citizen. And then, like, they dragged him out of the house and his underwear into the freezing cold Minnesota, you know, weather. And, uh, realized it was a citizen of, um, he was a citizen. an hour later and let him go. And when people were like, hey, this sucks. You're like, oh, we were after sex offenders.

What, you guys liked child molesting? You guys want to defend child molesters? Because they were trying to say they were looking for child molesters, which this guy wasn't one. So the fact you got the wrong guy seems to at least relevant to the story. And their basic defense was like, well, the guy we were looking for with a child molester who was also Asian and they all look alike. That's kind of their fucking defense.

Right. But also, it gets even dumber than that because the guy they're looking for was already in prison for some other criminal charge. So when they got caught looking stupid as they even looked to see if the guy was in fucking prison for raiding an unrelated house, they're like, oh, well the state government of Minnesota refuses to turn these people over, which is not true. The state prisons turned them over routinely.

They just didn't go look. Right. So they fucking, they escalated dangerous situation. It could have killed the citizen guy. It's just all fucking. I know, and they're completely unapologetic about it and act like it's everybody else's fault when it's like it should be the opposite. Like that, anything

like remotely like that should not be tolerated in the world of law enforcement like any of a person being harassed because oh well we thought he was this guy who was dangerous and then but that guy's locked up and it kind of looked the same and we didn't have time to check and then the idea people would hear that and be like oh well that's totally

understandable it's insane to me because it's like no that should be like a zero tolerance policy type of situation and I always think of that there was a bit Chris Rock had on one of his later specials like tambourine or something he's talking about cops but it applies talking about, you know, the idea of bad apples and all this stuff, or, you know, they just fuck up sometimes.

He's like, yeah, look, I hear you, but listen, some professions are just not allowed to have bad apples or fuck up like that. He was like, if Delta Airlines told you 92% of our pilots are great, and they love to land safely and do all the right stuff, it's just like 8% of bad apples, you know, if I can fly into buildings and, you know, crash and stuff like that, and you'll just have that sort of thing. He's like, no one would stand for that, right? Like, it would fold immediately. You wouldn't put up with that shit. He was like, not all professions are the same. There are higher standards for some things, or at least there should be. And law enforcement should be one of those things, but it's the fucking opposite.

It's the most incompetent people who get away with everything because they have like carte blanche for reasons that are beyond me. Because if you try to criticize them, you know, you want the streets running wild with sex offenders and drug dealers, apparently. like it's just also disingenuous and stupid. Yeah, and the operation that it led to Predi's death was also based upon all they tried to retroactive to be justifiable lives, which we'll get it down on the other side of this break.

did take it off the streets with these you know raids and shit but those are pictures of mugshots of people that have been handed over from Minnesota prisons so like they just have nothing to do with operation whatever they're calling this something surge so So after they killed Alex Pretti, they said that what they were trying to do was find an individual named Jose Huerta Chuma, and it characterizes him as having a significant criminal history. But based on Department of Corrections records and publicly available Minnesota court data, the individual identified by federal officials has never been in DOC custody. DoC and court records show no felony commitments associated with this. Public Minnesota court records reflect only misdemeanor-level traffic offenses from more than a decade ago, and the individual is not currently under DOC supervision.

So the guy they're saying as a major criminal, that's why they launched his operation to end up with Alex Pretty being killed. As far as anyone could tell, or they're treating him as a hardened criminal member of Venice 13 or whatever, he had traffic offenses from 2013 or something. Right. See, to me, even if he was some Kingpin motherfucker or whatever,

even if that was true, it wouldn't be worth all this. And who would think that it is? Who on either side with any kind of rationality would think that it's worth all the shit that's happened even if he was fucking Minnesota El Chapo or whatever. Like, there's other ways. El Chapo, Jeffrey Dahmer rolled into one

could be in downtown Minneapolis. It would not justify dropping a Moab on it. Right. Like, there's better ways to fucking do this. Right. And the lie that's all started based upon, which is that every Somali daycare is fake or something, that was based upon an even stupider lie.

Someone missed this story from December 29th that debunked all the reporting that led to two people being dead and all these people being fucking deported for no reason. Key source that says story prompted Trump that Trump tirade against Somalis is erroneous. So Nick, what's his name? I forgot. Why can't remember the guy's name? Shirley? Yeah, Nick Shirley, the dipshit YouTuber that went there. He went there.

I missed this because of a report in a conservative newspaper. Did they publish an explosive claim? that al-Shabaab an Islamic terrorist group back in Somalia was being funded by millions of dollars stolen from Minnesota taxpayers. But a core source for the article now calls this story bullshit and claims he was misquoted. Another person cited in the piece

is distancing itself from the reporting. And retired Seattle detective Glenn Kearns, the only named person in the City Journal article who connects Minnesota-Somali fraud with terrorism, which is the core premise of the story, said he never traveled to Minnesota and investigate the connection in the first place as the piece claims.

They made it up. Nick Shirley ran with it. The White House saw it and believed it because of fear on the right-wing internet. And now they sent 3,000 Border Patrol agents and whatever federal agents in Minnesota and two people are dead. Right. And now they are, I'm not, I'm not, I don't know, maybe I shouldn't say that. I just saw some right-wing dips shit. I don't remember which one.

And it had some retweets or whatever, but who knows how many of them were running with this. But it's basically saying, like, doing their like, aren't I so clever thing where they were like, anyone noticed that no one's even talking about all the fraud anymore, are they? anybody noticed that that's interesting isn't it's like all of a sudden no one even cares about Somali frog because of this it's like okay but this all this only even happened because of your outsized response to ostensible Somali fraud in the first place so if someone's like doing some sort of weird false flag thing to get that out of you know the media coverage it's y'all you know like so how is that how does any of this supposed to make any sense but people just fucking say stuff well yeah but also the federal prosecutor who was responsible for investigating the Somali fraud who had obtained a bunch of convictions related to the case which we already

talked about is not majority Somalians but whatever like that guy resigned because it wouldn't let him investigate the Renee Goods shooter like these people like they could have had everything they wanted but they can't manage it they can't fucking manage it like if you if like if you like if you wanted to like a running a functioning fucking authoritarian regime in this country you would have arrested the guy that killed Palis Prattie. You would have arrested the guy that killed for a day good because they're fucking up your plans,

not mine. Right. Like, the difference really, like a, like a, I don't know right. I don't get it to it. So they, like, the political response to this, there's no use of pointing out hypocrisy anymore because nobody really believes in it.

But the way the NRA fucking handle this is amazing to me because they try to just ride the line between saying, like, the government's like, well, said, well, he basically, Alex Prattie's death was justified because he was carrying a gun while protesting, which he wasn't, whatever. So, and the NRA is like, well, obviously, you can't execute people just for having a gun.

But people need to have more respect for law enforcement. The right wing cycle is saying we need to have more respect for federal law enforcement. I just like, do you guys remember that your origin story is that killing that Weaver lady at Ruby Ridge and then, you know, the Branch Davidians? Waco? Like, like, I've lost track, but like, it blew my mind because back when Obama was elected, I was still living in Texas, and I was starting to do comedy on the road more. And my girlfriend at the time wanted to get a gun to have in the house because I was going to be

gone a lot. We have not getting it, whatever. But like, we went to the gun range slash gun store to buy it. And the guy was trying to upsell us on getting as many guns and ammunition as possible because President Obama was going to make guns illegal. Yeah, I remember that happened and just like went around where I was at at the time. People like bought up, bought out all the stock of like a lot of gun stores and shit, their ammunition and stuff in the area I was in because Obama was about to come and take them all. Yeah. Anytime like any time there's sort of like like any possible movement on gun control,

gun stocks and shoot way up and because people like stock up, you know. And I'm thinking about that in the current environment. The NRA, when I was a kid, we talked about this before, was a sportsman's rights organization when one dad was a member. Basically what's happened is they went from being a membership advocacy group to being an industry advocacy group because there's more money in that and cater to the gun companies. They don't represent the average sportsmen anymore. They represent the 1% of people who own 90% of the guns. The guys who have 20 guns. Right now, Libs are tooling up because they're afraid of fellow overreach.

Right now, the NRA which represents gun companies, is literally throwing away billions of dollars. from all the people that are getting into guns right now I was just scared because they're fucking pissed off about Trump to suck up to suck Trump's dick I don't fucking I can't wrap my mind around it I know they're giving away free money right I know what we've said for a while about how like a to the

business from a business perspective so many of the positions have not made sense to me as far as Trump goes over there like this he's bad for business he's bad for money he's bad for all this stuff in so many ways and yeah people you know bend the knee

kiss the ring for whatever fucking reason they've gotten too entrenched in tribalism and whatever else i don't know but yeah it doesn't make any fucking sense and they're like oh wow the i've seen the dumbest takes is like like like oh wow liberal support the second amendment now who knew it's like well you guys want there's no hope for gun control there's no hope so like what do you want like you you just you want a world where everybody can have a gun but only you have them right i mean yes that is what they want right so Like, Christy Noam was like, I don't know any peaceful protest or that shows up armed and with the ammunition.

But where were you, like, was it? I understand that, like, they think they could lie the way of anything. But, like, we were all alive in 2020 when everyone was taking guns to protests. Also, I'm sure there's some great quotes she's got on Kyle Rittenhouse, I would imagine, you know, and how he was a hero. And thank God he was there and everything. I'm just assuming that that's her stance. Cash Patel was doing the same. shit about how no one should take guns to protest.

Cash Patel went on neo-Nazi Stu Peter's podcast to do a fundraiser for Kyle Rittenhouse. Right. Like, I try to be intellectually consistent. As much as I thought, when Kyle Rittenhouse got let off, we talked on this show about how, like,

every choice Kyle Rittenhouse made was stupid. But, like, the, but his, if I was on the jury, I would have voted to acquit to because under the laws as written, he was defending himself. Yes, right, yeah. Like, we should write the laws differently. But this is the world you guys wanted. Then Kattautel said, like, the fact that Alex Prerty had a second magazine,

like, it's proof that he was after no good. It's like, what fucking planet do? Use a brain. Like, so the Second Amendment says you can carry a gun but doesn't include the right to reload? Right. Like, I am with you. There is no justifiable reason. reason why anyone open carrying their day to day would need a second magazine of ammunition.

There's also no reason anyone would need a clip that holds 30 rounds, which is like an easy gun control fix we could do. But that's not the way we live in. They won't hear it. Yeah, right. Right. So, like, usually the only people you can trust to be remotely intellectually consistent or libertarians. But Rand Paul's chief of staff over the weekend was arguing people online. He was like, I'm calling her. His name is Doug Stafford. Excuse me, what the fuck borders in Minneapolis

and when did it become illegal to carry a gun in America? Anyway, he got that up for like five minutes that deleted it because he eventually cowardice wins out even with libertarians. So,

to talk about Pretti for a second and how bad they fucked up, they appeared to have executed one of the most unassailable people walking around in America. Right. Well, especially, I mean,

I mean, yes, period, but especially like from their, like, perspective even. do you know what I mean? Like he's like Everything about him Yeah like is like Made in a lab to appeal

To these people He should be their guy So anything I said in videos If the right had any integrity That already have a statue commission To this dude But instead they're calling him A domestic terrorist

Terrorist who deserved it You know Fucking drag his name Through the mud and shit When it's like He did everything right By your standards In any way you slice it

Like what I don't Literally all he did Was put his body between a woman that a border patrol agent was trying to beat up. Right. He just stood between that. A defenseless woman and the agent of a tyrannical government.

While, you know, fucking you know, being a 2A supporter, dedicated his life to supporting the troops. You know, white man, fucking just good guy, helped others, all that shit, like red blooded all-American, you know, and

they're like, yeah, fuck this guy. It's inside. I got him. I got him Mack Randolph. posted this on Facebook, I believe. He said RIP, Alex Peretti. He was my dad's ICU nurse. He read my dad's final salute at the UVA

after he passed away. I never want to share this video, but his speech is very important. Also, my father's final words to me was to continue to fight the good fight. He'll be honored in Alex's sacrifice to shame with his current administration. And my dad's words, I encourage you all to continue to fight the good fight. Now, I don't want to show the video because it's

Malden, but it's pretty touching. Alex speaks over. this dead veteran's body and talks about how freedom and free, he used that usual sort of thing, and he uh, you know, he, uh, he, uh, he, he, he, he walked the walk. Um, so, sorry, uh,

back to the fucking far school nature of this. Um, the, the fact that they can think the, that a federal government is small as ours outside of the national defense space can bully everyone at once seems to be like, I, like, like, again, the idea you guys won, this country's basically ungovernable. because of austerity.

And you're trying to establish authoritarian regime like paper clips and glue and shit. And so all you do is bullying people. I don't want to watch this clip of Greg Bovino from a press conference yesterday. If you got this clip, man. Calling all enforcement names like Gestapo

or using the term kidnapping. That is a choice that has made their actions and consequences. Okay. Back, can you rewind and play it from the beginning again? I always listen to how he says Gestapo. calling law enforcement names like Gestapo. All right.

He says we shouldn't call them Nazis while pronouncing Gestapo in the German. Oh, right. Gestapo. Like, this fucking guy, General Isimo Bovino, like, the, the Fatite, like, think about this for a second. What is the head of border patrol doing in the field in uniform? That's a test job.

Right. He's five foot three, running around, trying to intimidate people with a security detail. He seems to handpicked to be shorter than him. He has to guard the door while he takes a shit at the target bathroom. And then, like, I don't know how he thinks the rest of his life is going to be, but have you seen the origin of his family? Because he's, you know, his family's Italian. He's from North Carolina.

His whole family came here illegally, basically. and like according to his own policies they'd be deporting his grandfather while the people that work for him called his grandfather a greaser wop and told him, and administration went on the news and talked about how Italians are prone

to like knife crime because they're small brain pants. And he's just gleefully being a part of it. Right. Well, yeah, pulling that ladder, buddy. It's a time honored tradition on the American right. But even that thing that he,

like that, I mean, that's fucked up, man. I know that's why you picked it. It's why you played it. But it's like, I mean, what is the underlying message that or the implication there? It's like, if you call us names, we might kill you and you will deserve it. Like, literally, oh, they call, that's all I heard him say. You know, they call him to choppo use words like kidnapping. And it's like, hey, words are hurtful, all right?

And by the way, if you use hurtful words, we'll shoot you to death. That could happen. And it would be your own fault. like it's just insanity yeah um that the all they have to do is cry bowling like it's like like like

I would I would think if they thought they could intimidate people because they killed Renee Good and more people got in the streets they killed fucking uh uh Alex Pretti and more people got involved and I think the idea you can intimidate your way around this problem is sort of like if the ship seems to sail

watch this video from over the weekend after Pready was killed right right now later on that video the National Guard comes to shoes them away out of the way and let the vehicle pass and make sure nobody to, you know, according to Tim Wall, there are National Guards that are de-escalate the situation,

which I'm not sure what I would do if I was the governor, if I could, uh, Minneapolis, of Minnesota. But like, yeah, there, the National guards wearing yellow vests to distinguish them between other forces. Yeah. And is it, is it a good side when you're competing state defense apparatus or wearing different uniforms so the citizens know who's on what side?

Right. Yeah, I know. But yeah, but yeah, they're out there. I mean, the thing I saw anyway was that, they've got donuts and coffee and shit, don't they? I'm wearing the yellow vest and all that stuff. Like, there's very much a, you know, a contrasting vision of what that kind of deployment should look like or whatever for now anyway.

I haven't seen them beat anybody yet, but they're carrying batons, but they're kind of, they're standing between, I understand, like, there's no good solutions here, but, like, I just want to say, like, I saw a woman using a walker to advance through tear gas, so I think you can give up. up and try to fucking unless you want to pull the trigger machine in fire into a crowd or run the boat with the truck.

I think this is pretty much over and he lost. But it's really hard to take a look at like that video and Lady with the Walker and Alex Pretty and all the examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment and think about all the fucking cowardice displayed by the elites and Congress and shit. And they did their corporate leadership. I want to know like fucking Tim Apple, Tim Cook, just the Trump called him Tim Apple. Saturday night after Preddy was killed

was at a screening of the Malani documentary and took a picture with Brett Radner. This is the guy who was very public about disagreeing with Donald Trump

back in 2020. Cowards. Fucking cowards. More money people have the more afraid they are apparently. I also want to point out that Minneapolis's

biggest corporate citizens Target 3M and Medtronic have been dead silent about all this. I guess it's not ironic in retrospect that Targe has gone

Vichy. but yeah one nice example of somebody being on afraid this is a hilarious example of this is this lady who runs a toy store in Minneapolis has been given out free free whistles to whoever wants one to you know to go around letting people know about ice actions or federal actions immigrant with immigration enforcement or whatever they're up to she gave a TV interview about it and after she did so her name is Marshall she says two ice agents went to the store to hand deliver an audit notice asking for federal employment form with payball records and names past and present employees.

She's like, I have four employees and they're all part-time. They're all citizens. It's a good fucking luck. But, like, ICE doesn't do audits, so I don't know what they're up to. But I just want to point out, this is a woman stubborn enough to own and operate a toy store in 2026. You're not going to fucking run her off. Like, she's taking it on Amazon, God damn. She's not afraid of ICE.

I don't know what happens next. I don't think anybody else does. so many things have seen like turning points in this era, but I want to quote here from a guy named John Mittnick quote, I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the Homeland Security portfolio

as a White House counsel and served as a general counsel to the department. I'm enraged and embarrassed by DHS's lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty. Impeachia to remove Trump now. Middick was a Senate-confirmed Trump choice for general counsel for DHS in Trump's first term. Right. Yeah. I'm sure this dude was all

about like the Patriot Act and Guantanamo Bay and all that, the war in Iraq and all that shit too. I'm just assuming he probably loved all that stuff, but, you know, and that guy is like, this shit is crazy. We need to stop this shit. He would have written a legal memo justifying opening a kid's wing and Gitmo. And he's like, this is too fucking far. Right. Yeah, right.

As far as the Democrats, like, the only to say they have in this is like, we talked about it on a bonus episode on Friday about like how the House had passed the DHS funding bill doing the rotating villain shit where only seven them were needed to pass it. The Senate now is the vote right and they're saying they won't pass the past the past, like they're going to do something to compromise to have some sort of rules or agreement to pull them out of like urban, large-scale urban enforcement or something. And there'll be some compromise where I'll understand it's all they can do it.

I'll still fucking yell at them for it. But goddamn, the leadership here, I hope the seven House Democrats who voted to approve ICE funding just before Saturday really enjoyed their fucking phone call. over the weekend. Tom Swozy, New York State, a Democratic congressman from New York, he's the one who took his seat back after George Santos was forced out. He was one the ones that voted for it. And I'm going to hear from his statement he put out today. I failed to view the DHS funding vote as a referendum on the illegal and moral

conduct of ICE in Minneapolis. I hear from the anger of many of my constituents and I take responsibility for that. I know he got a lot of a couple minutes left. I just want to say that the good thing about doing the right thing is that you're never caught flat-footed by reality and updated developments. Right.

And you're either you are. You still fucking have your honor. I remember like my dad, you know, he ran a construction crew and he had to testify in court about one of his guys got caught caught stealing from a job site or something and the guy's attorney was trying to say

my dad was going on or some shit. And it's just a lesson in like how being an honest person works. Not that my dad was. like a paragon of virtue or anything but like the defense attorney was like where were you on so-and-so date at so-and-so time he's like I don't know

but I wasn't doing that and he was like how you say you weren't doing that if you don't remember he's like because I wouldn't be at that place doing that if you vote to not fund the fascist fucking arm of the Trump administration if you just don't vote to do that nothing they do later can come back

and redound to your political downfall and all you're going to get primary challengers and you and you're only The only defense is going to be, well, Hakeem Jeffries told me to do it. The rest of the caucus could look good voting against it. Right. Stop playing these fucking games, man. Yeah.

Just, right. Be a person. Do something real. Have some integrity or principles or actually have a stance on something. Instead of, yeah, just towing the party line and doing just enough to keep getting elected. Which is all it seems to actually. Amount to over there. All right.
