Weekly Skews - Skews 5/10/22 – Roe Roundup

Episode Date: May 11, 2022

In the week since the big SCOTUS leak, GOP lawmakers have been fully engaged in a very uncharacteristic endeavor: working around the clock. The problem of course is that what they are working toward is the passing of a myriad of horrifically draconian laws aimed at destroying the reproductive rights of women. So that checks out.Support the show

what's up everybody welcome back and happy skews day to you i know what you're thinking the answer is no i'm not going to be laying down any funky jazz riffs for you on this episode i uh wearing the shades because i had to have eye surgery again if you followed the show for a while you know it's the second time hopefully it will be the last don't worry about me nothing life-threatening, just trying to make my eyes work the way eyes are supposed to work. In the meantime, don't get too distracted by how overwhelmingly cool I look over the course of this episode, because we've got some serious stuff to talk about, okay? It's May 10th, 2022.

I'm Trey Crowder, and that's Mark Aegee. What's up, Mark? I'm so, Trey. I dig the look, man. You kind of got your own little, remember when Steve Rekl turned into Stefan or Cal? You got super cool. It's like, well, it is. Oh, yeah, I'm glad you can see, though, but I hope that surgery works out.

I don't have to lead you around public places when we're out. Yeah, a lot to talk about today. To start with some fun stuff. So Steve Schmidt, who helped run McCain's campaign in 2008, lit Twitter on Friday the night with like a 20 tweet thread. It seemed like he was maybe a couple pulls off the Scotch bottle. But he essentially argued that McCain's 2008 campaign was infiltrated by Russia and also called Megan McCain a huge diva bitch.

So that was fine. Nobody's immune from, you know, drunk Twitter and, you know what I mean? I mean, you know, unless you just got some sense. But I'm saying anybody that both drinks and fucks with Twitter, you really got to watch it, you know. Yeah. When you're typing in the Ford slash X in the middle of a thread, you'd be like, wait a minute. Should I drink a glass of water? Right.

So Madison Cawthorne News, there was an article of Rolling Stone this week. that said that one of the reasons Trump turned on him is like this series of weird video sex, not scandals, but like broly stuff he was doing. When it filtered through the pipeline, because Trump's van from social media, what Trump got out of it was that he's fucking his cousin. So he doesn't like that

in California because he thinks he's fucking his cousin. I love how Trump has got all these like hangups with, you know, like all that stuff with Mandel and the guy that was working with Mandel and all this stuff. It's like Trump hears that they're all into like weird stuff with their butts or whatever. And then he's like, yeah, I can't

have, I can't have no part of that, you know. It's like, it's a funny line for him to have drawn, I feel like. Yeah, can't have any weirdos around Donald Trump. I think what, because like, the guy, he's got a campaign finance scandal where he overpaid one of his subordinates who I guess is his cousin. That cousin, I also might be the guy in the car video who touched his dick. Right. So I think that's what, what Trump took out of that.

But the dude whose face he humped, that's not his cousin. I feel like I heard that was his cousin too. It's just cousins all the way down over there. Yeah, man. When you make it to the top like Cawthor and you take your boys with you, right? And then put your dick in their face. Yeah.

Speaking of weirdos, Trump's former defense secretary, Mark Esper, is doing his book tour and lots of fun stuff he's revealing three years after it could possibly matter. Right. Every time, dude.

Anytime you see like some old administration official pop up out of nowhere, with some like bombshell shit, it's every time you're like, oh, so they wrote a book then and they've got a book coming out. And every time it's like, where was this while you were actually in it, you know? It's like, well, I wasn't writing a book then.

I'm writing a book now. He's like, well, I had to responsibly, people had to stay in government to try to keep the ultimate bad things would happen in. But one of the examples he gave was that Trump wanted to deploy the 82nd Airborne to battle BLM protesters in D.C. in June of 2020. And as for his compromise position was to deploy a National Guard element of the 802nd Airborne, like to the outskirts of these. It's not like you actually, you didn't stop and eject shit, but you also gave a press comments with Trump where he's completely tongueed his asshole real deep in the middle of that.

But one of the funny ones was Trump's big complaint about the Navy was that our boats are ugly. He wanted to get new or cool looking boats. Like maybe something with my name and blazing across the top of the, yeah, of. Some gold fringe, that'd be a good hit. Yeah, gold destroyers. That's what we need to focus on. Yeah. He also pitched Esperon the idea of shooting cruise missiles into Mexico to blow up some cartel headquarters or something.

Trump's image of how the drug business works is interesting. But I guess he thought there was like a big drug factory. If we just bombed out, there wouldn't be any more drugs. But we thought we could get away with it because we just say it wasn't us, which is always like the shaggy defense, baby. It's undefeated. Another funny thing came out of this is like One of the previous Secretary of Defense Center Trump

William Cohen said he Bleas anything in Esper's book And he relayed this conversation they had Where an advisor said, Mr. President, you can't do that. Trump, why not? Advisor, it's illegal. Trump, so what? Advisor, you can be prosecuted, Trump, by whom?

Now, people are like, L.O. Trump's stupid But whether you think that's Trump being stupid or Trump being smart is like a fun prism with which just see how you need to see the next 20 years playing out i don't know if i call that right i don't know if i would necessarily call it like him being smart but like you know show me the lie i guess like when i read that and it's like i mean answer the question who is going to prosecute him like it's been proven to be pretty true so far it's not like he refrained from breaking laws while in office but you know ain't nobody come for him yet so yeah he's a breaking law that outland that's not that outland

endish of a quote, really. Yeah, he's got a 50-year run as a criminal going with no prosecution. So he's a tremendously better, way better understanding of how power works in America than all the people who are trying to stop him, which is probably the reason why, even though he's incredibly stupid, he keeps running laps around them. But speaking of being stupid, this story came out today where Trump repeatedly asked people, and he did the entire of his presidency, if China had a weapon which would create hurricanes and throw them at America.

And if so, is that an acts of war and can we retaliate? I wonder if there's some people in Trump's inner circle that are sitting there like, so wait, are we saying that China's working

with the gays now? Like, is that what's going on? Like, they're getting a bunch of gay people to go in the room, making them have sex and that, you know, because everybody knows that's where hurricanes come from, right?

And then they've developed some kind of technology to deploy the hurricane in our direction. That's the missing piece here. We got the gay sex, hurricane, question mark,

weaponized hurricane and Trump's got like a vision board outlining all this. You know like when special ops guys like help with like targeting with a laser guided missiles they like will sneak into a place and then shoot the laser at it so the bomb knows exactly what they hit.

China does that except they just have gay operatives sneak into our major cities so then the hurricanes go after them. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. A big Chinese black op have a big

gay orgy in Miami or something. Next thing you know, here comes. the hurricane can't stop that although he did have an idea for stopping the hurricanes right yeah he wanted to nuke him why not why wouldn't that work yeah you just explode a hurricane ain't no hurricane no more even just the hurricane based dumbassery of his presidency it's just like it's not just the the china's throwing hurricanes at us uh we got to nuke the hurricanes and also hurricanes may have alabama and the national weather service goes no they're not so he withdrew the map with this with a sharpie sharpie and then that

cause that caused an IG report where they investigated and found the Trump administration was pressure in the National Weather Service to alter the course of the hurricane on paper. So he would retroactively be right. And this is like, what the God? Right. Like you said, like literally just the hurricane related aspects of his administration would amount to like the full course of dumb assery from most presidential administration. You know what I mean? In terms of really stupid shit to come out of an administration, you know, he covers most people's quota just with his hurricane stuff, you know.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty wild. All right. Well, let's get into it. I'm probably going to do this a couple of times throughout the show because I know people come and go.

We would appreciate it. Now, as for tonight's episode, we are one week removed from the earth-shattering Supreme Court leak foretelling the end of Roe v. Wade. and not much has happened since then, really. It's been pretty quiet on that front. No, I'm kidding. Everything is on fire. The GOP lawmakers around the country have completely lost their minds in the wake of that news.

They're doing their best to ruin the lives of women everywhere. We'll get into the details a little bit later. But first, as always, we begin with the Daily Dumbass. Matt, graphic, please. Speaking of everything being on fire, our D.D. tonight, That is, anybody who thought Emperor Nero was the only one who knew how to get down while civilization burned. My friend, Dr. Memb- I don't know, Matt.

We'll get to that one in a minute. We've got to get the, uh, get to him, uh, you know, dancing a jig. Hell, now I've spoiled it. It's all right. It's still, it's still goofy. You'll see when Matt gets it up there. Um, we're where, yeah, there we go. there it is look at them moves oh yeah all right doesn't that just make you feel good

feel patriotic it's fun it's so funny anytime i see stuff like that knowing that there are people in that crowd who lit genuinely in their minds they're like god he's so fucking cool yeah it's like when uh it's like when uh you know when you go when you go to the skinner concert they finally get to freebert yeah Elvis shakes his hips man for for people It's literally like that, which is wild to think about. You're ready to play that other dancing video, Matt, because I want to show you this, because this is like, one, you're like, what, didn't Trump usually dance to YMCA? Yes, he always has before.

That's the Sam and Dave. I'm coming. And to me, that's revelatory because, like, Trump's running in 2024, but he hasn't officially announced it because when you officially announce, it kicks in a bunch of extra campaign finance reporting and oversight and people check it up on your money. It doesn't really hit for Donald Trump. So instead, he just alludes to the fact he might. run and plays a song that says, I'm coming and then.

But anyway, so this same dance, this is a new stanky leg. Here we go. Losing their minds, dude. I keep waiting for, like, granny pains to hit him in the head. I know. Yeah, that's like oxygen tank mask thrown at the stage. Oh, God. Is any of that, I've heard that before?

I've heard people say, you know, the whole campaign finance thing, and it totally makes sense. Is any of that, like, in any way retroactive or anything? Or, I mean, because why wouldn't you just, I mean, why wouldn't you just do? I mean, if you're him, I get with most people, you've got to start a campaign as early as possible, I guess. But if you're him, I mean, why, why wouldn't you just wait until the very last minute, just do whatever you want with all that money? I think, again, it's illegal. So what? Who's going to, you could be prosecuted by who?

so like a campaign finance laws are completely enforced anyway like the worst that happens to somebody is you have to pay back a little if you're a nobody congressman sometimes you get hit with a federal investigation but like for the most part you just do whatever you want i mean supreme court legalized bribery essentially one of the reasons our politics of godding is completely insane is because billionaires allowed to buy the entirety of a public discourse because they i can't stuff like citizens united and they had a few deranged billionaires are during the country insane um so that's that's just where we're at um that first video of Trump dancing was at a rally he had in Pennsylvania

for a bunch of candidates in the middle of a torrential downpour where the whole audience was up to their knees in mud and couldn't make their way out at the end of the night. But in the meantime, they were treated to... Like Woodstock, dude. I'm telling you. They're down there. But even though Dr. Oz has gotten the coveted Trump endorsement, it doesn't seem to have actually helped

much. Check out this reception you got. my friend dr memmett oz he's a great man they fucking hate that dude he got booed the whole time even like even when he would do like he did he did his stump speech or he's like we got to keep the borders he used the word clean if he couldn't remember the word for closed or strong and he would go yeah we agree that premise and boo

we got us you know stop we got to save the second amendment yeah boo like cheer the point then boo him personally it's uh this is so humiliating for these dudes i honestly don't know why i keep waiting for opera to like ether him but uh she i guess she's just sitting it out um the oh let me show actually i talked about him show the next video of dr ozmat the one of him actually trying to talk to this crowd and though i just sort of spoiled it face and we'll fight back are you want to fight china will you fight for our kids in our schools you got to fight back to keep our borders

you're going to fight back to keep our borders clean this guy who talked good and the kids smart and all that if he was talking about how to sell you know magic powder that cures cancer he'd be right in his wheelhouse I know dude I was about to say it's like I kind of find this sort of weird

because he's been a television personality for a long fucking And, like, you wouldn't think this would be the part of it that is a problem for him. But evidently, it's like you said, I guess you just get outside of, like, miracle weight loss cures or whatever. And he, you know, he starts to lose it a little bit. I don't know. But, yeah, I found that kind of odd. The, uh, he doesn't know to talk to these people.

And a good way to talk about that. Let's look at this campaign ad he made about this, about guns in the second amendment. Because it's, yeah, it's satisfying. My father taught me. got to handle my first gun. I taught my son Oliver how to do the same. I've been shooting and hunting my whole life. So when people say I won't support guns, they're dead wrong.

Watch this. Nailed it. Other conservatives, though, that I'm strong. Great shot. So one, I've never met anybody who shot, Ski. To my knowledge, it's not an actual, like, common redneck gun activity. It's more of a rich guy with a country estate activity, right? That's definitely, I mean, my experience.

know, I'm from a redneck as hell place where people love guns and hunting and stuff like that. Matt says it's big in Iowa. I remember in South Dakota, Christy Nome had her own skeet shooting video. But in the part of Tennessee where I'm from, I never knew anybody to shoot Skeet either. It was, you know, beer bottles and deer from the highway and stuff like that, you know, is what we were shooting. I mean, Skeet seems expensive to me. Like our version of that would be filling up a 22-gallon jug of water and shooting and watching it blow up. you know right um yeah that's what the funny part when he shot the ski you can tell it wasn't

him shooting the ski because they not do the uh but they did the cut away so you saw him shoot then you cut to another shot of the ski being shot it's like like like an air bud when you see the dog hit the basketball then it cuts away you see it go in the basket yeah yeah there's no reason to do that like they would absolutely want the shot of him shooting it if they had it you know so cutting away like that it there's There's only one answer for that, you know. Yeah. He can't shoot for shit, Mark.

Yeah. That campaign is going to get really ugly because, like, there's a polling data come out today that like since March, Oslo has only gone up 2% from 20 to 22. Meanwhile, this woman named Barnett, who's the most MAGA-E candidate in there, surge from 9 to 19. She's the authentic real deal. She's not faker like Oz.

She's absolutely crazy. And I'm, if I was, if I was, her comeback, this is like, what's the rich what's in the the horse from over the weekend I want to Kentucky Derby from like 10 places back in the final stretch rich strike yeah she's the rich strike of this race I think is what's happening oh look out that means somebody's gonna punch her in the face after she wins yeah but it's anybody that didn't watch the Kentucky Derby the horse that won was a huge long shot and then got punched in the face by his trainer afterwards because he wouldn't stop trying to bite other horses it was wild scene yeah he was he was hyped up he was talking shit he was like he's like fuck you with a horse But this campaign is going to get really ugly and gross Because people seem to think Oz was a chance So they discovered he's Muslim And I guess he has dual citizenship in Turkey So there's lots of stuff being thrown around

By him being a threat to the national security and shit Because he voted in a Turkish election Fairly recently or something So yeah, that's where we're out right now Yeah All right, well, what do we got for honorable mentions here? Let's see Dr. Strange too for only being the second biggest blockbuster

to come out in America this week. That's right in case you missed it. Big news from Dinesh D'Souza, the cinematic bombshell. He dropped. If you got that, Matt, talking about 2,000 mules. Yeah.

Do we have it? This video is a guy, is... So I got to see this movie 2,000 mules down here in Palm Beach, and I left disgusted that something like this can happen in America, The smoking gun proof is what Dinesh D'Souza and True, the vote found, of election fraud. So here is my message to any law enforcement officer, federal agent that is working in Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Arizona, Pennsylvania.

You watch this movie, and then you ask yourselves, how do we not investigate? All it takes is one law enforcement officer or federal agent to say, I'm going to look into this and prove what Dinesh D'Souza. Proved privately. All right. So I got to see this movie too. This is absolutely like the best indicator of who actually runs our country is you got an angry guy with his shirt off. He's a rich dude. He's over tanned.

Feeling oppressed and demanding that the cops overthrow the government in Georgia because he's mad at a movie he saw. This movie called 2,000 Mules, Dinesha, Susan made it on a shoestring budget, of course, because he doesn't have any money. But it's made a million dollars. It's streaming on something like right wing's sake. It's streaming a rumble, I think. a bunch of people are watching this move and get really into it. It doesn't prove anything. He looks at a bunch of GPS data from like poll workers' phones that he can't understand.

And then he has like surveillance video, people in the offices count on the ballots moving paper around. That's it. That's what's in this. Right. And it's also funny. This dude calling on cops to go rogue. He actually says the word go rogue at some point and like investigate this in Wisconsin and Georgia. And it's funny to think of like a QAnon cop.

in Wisconsin or something, deciding I'm going to be the one who breaks this whole thing wide open, you know, and then he just, like, dicks around on 8chan for two weeks and fucking gets a little crazier and maybe makes a cork board with some redstring in his basement or something like that. But I don't feel like he's, you know, it ain't going to be Woodward and Bernstein with this outfit. Also, there's nothing there. It's not true.

So it can be pretty hard to break it open, considering it didn't happen. but you know I never stopped them from trying they are like the thing is like they're so good at manufacturing bullshit if they could find a scintilla of anything it would be a huge story for the rest of our lives but they can't they can't even find a thing to hang a thing on right you know but it's like this is completely divided to normal shitmongers they had a big movie screening every all the luminaries were there marjor taylor green flew down to mora lago uh a bunch everybody every regular talk personality was there every crazy congressperson, Trump pretended to watch it, then read a review that he, if you got the video of Trump talking about it, because he just read off his paper. I bet you he didn't even watch the movie. You left the room on that. Yep, there we go. He's got it.

I can see who he's got going on over here. I got back behind the scenes. The evidence of this documentary demands immediate action from federal, state, and local law enforcement. he yeah all right yeah yeah so you feel the energy he definitely believes everything you're saying so uh so but de suze is mad because tuckel carlson won't talk about his documentary and neither will newsmax isn't covered he's been he's been tweeting at newsmax like beefing with them they're airing his ads they'll pay he pays for they just won't do news coverage about it and the reason these places won't cover it is very straightforward it's that they're all already being sued for this

right and they don't want to be sued anymore right Because they know that it's not true or real. Like they're, you know, so they will be opening themselves up to a lawsuit so they can't do it. But he ain't having it, though. He's not happy about it, didn't it? Yeah, this is a story from this week. One American News. It finally admits no widespread voter fraud after settling a defamation suit.

They were sued by these two women who are election workers who got named by One America and consequently got a bunch of death threats and harassment. And the, yeah, there's the story, the Daily Beast about him promoting, Dinesh being mad at Tucker Croson. So, but so one America news had to run, instead of covering this, they had to run a 30 second announcement saying, we're full of shit, we lied, there was no election fraud.

It's one of the things the lady got in their suit, which is really funny to me. And so that's what Tucker and newsmax are trying to avoid is having to do that because it would puncture. Not that anything punctures their bubble, it might actually have some impact. Yeah, so that's the state of those dipsets. I can't, this is going to staff the second Trump administration is all these people.

Uh-huh. Yeah, they like only get crazier, you know, and it's super alarming. Speaking of which, Matt, if you could pull up that campaign ad from this Q candidate in Ohio, is it Ohio? Yeah, J.R. Mujuski. We talked, this is a guy we talked about on Friday. He just won the primary, Republican primary. On the Patreon episode? Yeah, he's a huge Q supporter.

And his claim to fame was painting a, he's 19,000 foot yard into a Trump Q sign before the election in 2020. And that qualifies you for Congress, baby. For context here, this guy said, actually don't believe in Q, I never believed any of it. What are you guys talking about? Don't even know what Q is. I'm not crazy. I promise I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy.

Here's his first campaign. Their agenda is bringing America to its knees, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to return this country back to its former glory. And if I got to kick down doors, that's just what patriots do. When I'm elected, I won't bow to establishment pawns or power-on-rackles. I know. I will hold my own and demand that once again America stands independently strong like the country that I fought for.

Kicking down doors. The cowards end with us. It's time to restore American dominance. So he's just wandering around an abandoned warehouse. And if there was any meaning there, he knocks the clothes sign up. I can't think he's going to say I'm going to reopen the factory.

I know. I'm going to let me link businesses stay open during the next pandemic. I can't really tell what. Yeah. Who the hell knows? But yeah, it's like every, I don't know.

I'm sure it wasn't the first one, but I swear ever since fucking Dan Crenshaw went like full Avengers. with that one campaign ad of his, he jumps out of a plane and all this shit. I feel like they always think they got to do, you know, it's always got to be some like fucking SWAT team, a $5 bin action movie type shit they're trying to do in their ads.

Because, you know, of course, you've got to have a gun. You can't have an ad without a gun. And if you're going to have a gun, you might as well have some smoke effects and, you know, kick some doors open or blow some shit up or knock some stuff down or whatever because otherwise what's the point? You know? Yeah.

It's got to like all these people would do anything to survive the apocalypse except go for a run. I don't get it. I like that. All right. Tell what I don't like, though. All the fallout so far from the big Supreme Court pending Supreme Court decision from the leak last week about Roe v. Wade being in serious jeopardy since that's happened. Republican lawmakers around the country have taken a very uncharacterial.

They've been working a lot. They've been like trying to do stuff, which is way, way out of character. But, you know, they're motivated, Mark. They're motivated by the opportunity to pass some truly draconian laws restricting the rights of women and they're all over it, huh? Yeah, but that's not the big deal, Trey. The big deal is that people are protesting it and that cannot stand. Oh, you're right. I'm sorry. So that's the You're right The right the right ring won a 50 year battle And instead of being like, we did it guys, high five It's no, we are still the victims And we cannot

Meanwhile, the Democrats response has been like You know what, you're right, you're the victims Let's yell at our own protesters And so it's manifested in this completely Horshit story that dominated the news the last two days About people staying in front of Brick Havanaugh's house And you hit this play on this man This was enough

to force Justice Alito and his entire family into hiding. They've moved now to an undisclosed location. You'll be shocked, Trey, that that did not happen. What happened was, some commentator was on Fox News, said she heard that. The story went mega viral. Somebody went back and asked her where she got the information from,

and she said, I don't know, I just heard it somewhere. I can't remember where. Maybe I read it on Twitter. And in response to the general. The journalism, baby. The journalism had an all-time high in this country. I'll tell you what. Like, yeah, literally the headline.

So there are unconfirmed reports that the Supreme Court Justice had to flee his home in light of the draft Roe v. Wade opinion. The source can't remember where he heard it. Yeah. It's like, I don't know. I feel like somebody said it to point at some other guys. Like, hey, Rick, you heard that, right? Yeah, see, he heard it. Everybody heard it.

You know, just stuff people are saying. I saw footage in the actual protest in front of Cabin on South. One thing if people want to talk about, these are people who live in Kavanaugh's neighborhood. These aren't like outside Antifa agitators coming in. There's a bunch of Kavanaugh's neighbors like sitting in lawn chairs in front of his house holding signs and having wine and cheese. This is what's happening. And in response to that, the right spins as death threats. And then you immediately have every Democratic leader in the planet, it's out of a few sensible ones, passing laws to give more security to the Supreme Court.

they literally the same day unanimous consent gave them all paid security I think the House left to pass it the White House condemned the protesters because they think

they could turn violent it's like well based on like what are you talking about here? I thought it's because all these motherfuckers on both sides are so like both fearful and disgusted of the people they represent

or work for you know what I mean? Like they're that like it's of utmost importance. It's a bipartisan. issue that they are protected from having to interact with us at all cost, you know, because that's just completely outside the pale, you know, for them to have to do that. Yeah, but I'm not the first person that raised this point, but by the Supreme Court itself

overturned the law that forbade protesting at the houses of abortion providers six to three, like 25 years ago. So like the Supreme Court says you can protest at people's houses. And the people come protest their house and go, well, wait, no, not like that. And also, like, somebody dug up, they said, this is against federal law and dug up an obscure federal statute, says you can't protest judges. And you go like, look at where it came from, it was from 1950. It was a package of laws designed to persecute communists. The law also gave the president authority to round up communists and said every communist

had to register with the government. Truman refused to sign it because it was so over the top, but they, they, they, they, beat the veto and it was resultantly struck down largely by the courts and it was so oppressive that it was Richard Nixon signed a law repealing the bulk of it

after the government had built four concentration camps for Congress. Thankfully, never put anybody in there. I feel like my ass would end up in there. Oh, for sure. Yeah, we'd be destined for some kind of gulag. You know, don't count it out, Mark. All right? There's still time.

Yeah. We could end up in the gulag. yet, buddy. Just give it a little while longer. But this upside down freak out, like, at such an extent that Susan fucking Collins, Republican Senator from Maine, called the cops because someone used

the chalky drawn sidewalks. They wrote a message that said, Susan, please sign the Women's Health Protection Act, undo your mess. And she called, she called the police on that. The thing said, look at that.

It said, Please. It said, please, and referred to legislation, and she called the cops. And the cops came and got away, took out a hose and washed it off. Like, like, elementary school, Antifa operation out here. Like, that is the most innocuous form of protest or whatever I can. And that's what I'm saying about how they feel like they, they should be protected from having to interact with their constituents or deal with them in any way, because there's really no more polite way to get a. message across to a lawmaker than to draw a, you know, a cutsy chalk drawing that's worded politely and says, please, would you please consider this? And it's not paint. Like you said, you could wash it right off. And she immediately, she's like, call my security. Get the police over here. And, you know, Fox knows death threats outside Susan Collins's home. It's fucking, it's ridiculous, man. There was a, after the ruling came out, there was a protest here in L.A.

and cops, of course, showed up and cracked a bunch of fucking heads. The Department of Homeland Security was in their pregnancy. Why the Department of Homeland Security is policing a domestic protest in Los Angeles that's very peaceful about abortion rights? I don't know. But then also, that's how the cops treat you if you want rights. If you're a U.S. center, the cops will come into your house and wash your driveway. Right. Right.

I saw that clip you're talking about that was in L.A. And I didn't even realize that the Department of Homeland Security had like black and whites, like, like squad cars like that, you know, that could just roll up in the middle of L.A. in a protest and get out just looking like regular cops. I thought that was wild. I guess it was because they were in front of like some federal building or something. But either way, yeah, they get out and immediately start showing their ass. The cops did, I mean, imagine that.

But, yeah. Yeah. And this is the party that cares of doing this because they care so much about women. They care so much about, about babies. And here's an interview, by the way. We're going to get into the, you know, the nitty green of the policy stuff in a second. But just if you want to believe these people believe anything they're saying, watch this interview clip real quick.

This is a gubernatorial candidate for Colorado. You are pro-life without exceptions for rape and incest and life for health of the mother. Additionally, in 1993, you were arrested for violently assaulting your then-pregnant wife. Some people might see those two things at odds, but they both involve you exerting control over a woman's body. Is that what Colorans want from their country? governor well first of all it wasn't a violent situation if you let you know if you go back and you were arrested for assault we were both arrested for assault all right so it wasn't like a beat up a

pregnant lady i wasn't a fist fight with a pregnant yeah right she got some good licks in okay you weren't there what was i supposed to do not punch her back come on this is america yeah he right after this He goes on to say, listen, listen, there was only one perfect man that ever lived, and we nailed him to the cross. Okay, I am not a perfect man, just playing the Jesus card, assaulting his pregnant wife. Who amongst us hasn't punched a pregnant woman in the ribs, tray? Only Jesus. Sure. Jesus is the only one who's never done that. I feel like we find at least one of these guys every week, but like here's another one. This guy just won a party primary in Indiana. A man accused of kill.

Killing his wife wins GOP primary from jail. Look at that. It's that one. It's fucking primary. The story's even worse than that. He was accused of killing his cancer-stricken wife as she was trying to divorce him. He will be on the ballot in November if he's not convicted. What happened was in last March, they got a domestic dispute, and he hit her in the head with a concrete flower pot and then dumped her body in a creek.

Make America okay to hit women and they have a flower pots again, I guess, and also say babies. God, this fucking people. Dude, it's one of the things just feel like, again, sometimes some of these things feel made up.

They're so on the note. You know what I mean? That they're literally electing people from prison for a violent, you know, for literally murdering a woman, you know,

it's one of those, you couldn't write it type of things because of how fucking insane it is. Yeah. One reason I want to tell you guys about this stuff is like, they'll be like, oh,

well, there's a few bad apples, right? But it's not like the whole party's massaginist. that's why they're doing it. I'm here to tell you the whole party's fucking misogynist. Here's a run out of some shit that happened in the last week.

Remember, the opinion hasn't even been released yet, right? It's not law. And Arizona GOP candidate wants to ban condoms in all 50 states. This guy, Blake Masters, who's a Peter Thiel puppet, we'll get to it. Let's think of that in a second. He wants Griswold v. Connecticut overturn. That's all we talked about before that says married people can use contrast. he's not the only one we'll get to blows in a second two uh he's only wants to

confirm federal judges that understand that griswold rogue rizwald in case he were only decided there's no constitutional right to abortion um he uh he's the he was the first to come out and say he wanted to ban contraception but he's not he hasn't been the last and this happened after sorry i just i'm from the bible belt you know and like the fucking rural a very rural part of the Bible Belt. And, like, I can remember because there were some families, like, being so hardcore religious that you were anti-controception, like, that sex was only meant for making a baby and nothing else.

Like, every time you had sex, you had to be prepared to have a baby because that's what sex was for. That was considered, like, friend shit, even among the other Jesus people where I grew up. You know what I mean? Because there were, like, there were a couple of families that were like that, and people talked about it, you know? It's like, yeah, they're fucking, you know, they're pretty hardcore because they think this. Like, I just, I can't imagine what abortion, sure, when you're talking about hardcore Christians, but like this shit is just, it just seems so extreme to me, even for these people, you know.

And look, man, condoms, you know, we all hate condoms. Sure, of course we do. Yeah, condoms don't hit. No, they don't hit. But look, you got to have them. And I feel like most people agree with that. Like, it cannot be a very high percentage of people who would be on board with this, I wouldn't think. Well, I mean, Trey, I spent years on the road doing stand-up.

It went for condoms. That'd be dead five times over. There you go. But, like, the funny thing about this, well, by the way, even birth control is used for a lot of shit besides birth control. I'm not as trying to make them balloons into condoms in the water balloons. But, I mean, like, like, birth control pills shouldn't be called birth control. right that's like that's like the last thing it the least least common purpose for it you mean sure you want to have sex and not get pregnant but also 13 year olds don't start

start taking it because they're having a bunch of sex it's because it helps to regulate their hormones keeps the it keeps peers from being so painful it keeps kids from having cysts it makes women's tatees hurt less and they're just like it's like it has a bunch of other effects it's just like it's only called birth control because a man named it it's like oh we get the jizzina no okay that's that's it that's the name of it um uh if you want to like the funny part about this is like the Republican National Senate Committee put out a statement saying it's a lie that we want to ban for control. No response Republican who wants to take away a contraception. He immediately goes, nope, I want to take away contraception. As far as who he has

personally, Peter Thiel, the same right-wing Silicon Valley Psycho, who, you know, injects himself with the blood of young people to stay young. That's true. Also, bankrolled J.D. Vance's campaign. He's given $10 million to Blakemasters. I'm talking about Peter Thiel again in a few minutes about something different. Masters is challenging, trying to challenge Democrat Mark Kelly. Fun Blake Masters fact away, he also raised another $600,000 selling NFTs. Mitch McConnell, so also not getting a memo about contraception. Marcia Blackburn, she spent a ton of time during a Katanji Brown-Jackson hearing talking about

overturning Griswold, and she seems to mean it, even though she's trying to subtly backtrack, but no, she sucks. And here's a video of Tate Reeves on a Sunday show. This is Mississippi's governor where he sort of fudges around, but doesn't say he wouldn't sign a bill to outlaw birth control. Maybe it doesn't have that. No, I think he's pulling it up. And then it's going to be just me and you, Mark.

Producer Max, it's not to leave us after this. Said that you believe life begins a conception. If there is legislation brought to you to base, and contraception, would you sign it? Well, I don't think that's going to happen in Mississippi. I'm sure they'll have those conversations in other states. But you're not answering the question. As is always the case with thing.

Well, that's always the case. Yeah, he's not answering the question. Do you want to, would you sign a bill if it came to you? Well, I don't know. I don't think it's going to come to me. Well, will you, but it's not the fucking question. That's not the question. Sorry.

Marsha Blackburn, I saw in a tweet, about her deal with it, um, that she, uh, she opposed, she opposed, um, contraception for everybody except for married couples. Did you read that? Is that accurate? Because like, that's particularly crazy to me. It's like, yeah, you know, everybody but teenagers will, you know, we can, like, uh, teenagers in particular do not need access to birth control, you know, because it's like, and I feel like part of the rationale for them is, uh, uh, like, well, because then they don't need to be having sex at all, you know, like, why do they need birth control when they shouldn't be having sex, you know, abstinence only education or whatever, but, you know, anybody, you know, you'd sooner lasso the moon

and keep teenagers from porking each other. It's just what they do. And, uh, restricting access to birth control, again, I went to school in the Bible Belt. I remember in like, like high school getting told like you know you go to the health department they'll give you a bag of condoms for free and everybody was like what you know and that was and everybody was like that's what i'm talking about even those of you know even if you didn't need them you're like yeah i want a bag of condoms that's cool you know and like i just can't imagine purposefully you know eliminating all that and fucking just having these kids out there just just getting down uh with no kind of protections in place whatsoever you know i just can't imagine how that could possibly ever be a

idea, Mark. Yeah. I can't keep you track of like Asa Hutchinson was on another Arkansas's governor was on another morning show on Sunday and being questioned about this pro life stuff. And he

was asked because Arkansas does not have a car valve in their anti-abortion bills for rape and incest. And he was like, the furthest left that he would go is to say he would consider signing an update to the law that allowed abortion for rape and incest.

That's like, he would consider it. He feels in his hearts for those people. But like J.D. Vance said, it's God's will that you were raped. You have to bury it. Essentially, it's bad luck for the woman. That's the woman got to rape, but you still got to carry the kid to turn. That's another thing. I can remember, like, we'd have, like, debate in high school every now and then on, like, hot button issues or whatever.

We get taught some of these types of issues. And I can remember it. Maybe I'm crazy. You tell me if you remember it differently. But I feel like back then, whenever I learned about the abortion debate and the whole conversation and what was going on with it, I felt like it was almost a given that it was like, you know, some people think abortion is wrong except for rape, incest, and when it endangers the life of the mother. Like I remember those three things being like, listen, we all kind of agree that, you know, in these extreme cases, it's necessary. The conversation is about all the other times, but that's just they're not even, they're not doing that anymore. They're literally like, no, but, you know, if you get raped, not only are you shit out of look, we'll sue your ass if you're trying to do anything about it.

And it's just like, it's, it's like they're not, it's not like even just rolling back the clock, I guess is what I'm saying. It's like they're, it's going, it's going too far, you know, beyond the opposite direction. Like, it's worse than what I thought the alternative would have been, you know, if I'd have known this was going to happen 15 years ago or whatever. There's a piece in Slate from like a month or two ago. The headline is literally, we're not going back to before road. We're headed somewhere worse. And the thesis of the piece, and this is, again, this was months ago.

So it didn't even know the full reality was that when you combine, like, like, even when abortion was illegal, the restrictions were subject to providers. right women didn't get thrown in prison for the most part that wasn't that would that wasn't what happened this these bills are throwing women in prison right um and uh like literally it's already literally happened right was it oklahoma a woman in oklahoma had a miscarriage and uh she had also done drugs and they used that to charge her with manslaughter or something like yeah she's I mean, it's already happening. She's one of, like, somebody found 16 women in the past few years.

I think they were in prison for having miscarriages under those states' abortion laws. Because the thing is like, okay, you're like, okay, well, you shouldn't do drugs when you're pregnant. Okay, sure. But like, if you think these, I know that the thing is, like, well, if you're white, you're probably fine. And if we know this works in America that may very well be true, this woman happened to not be white. But like, anything you do that ends your pregnancy, what if you, the most of the most, doctors say you can have like half a glass of wine every night and then when you're pregnant. What if you have a miscarriage

after that? A prosecutor can throw you in prison, right? What if you, I don't know, work out slightly too hard and then coincidentally have a miscarriage, can you prove that you ride in your peloton didn't cause your miscarriage? Because you can be on the hook for that. This is just one, another reason you don't want to, you know,

put the government between a person or their fucking doctor because the government's not qualified to make these decisions. And going back to The rape thing, I wanted to point out, I saw this number. I had no idea that was this high, but the best guessing is 32,000 pregnancies a year in America or the product of rape. So this is a lot of women who are being sentenced by the government to be punished for the crimes of their attacker.

Nationally, let's just go state by state for a second real quick, because it's a long list of shit that's just happened in the last few days. We talked about Arizona and Tennessee. We didn't mention this, but Mitch McConnell floated killing the filibuster. to pass a national heartbeat bill. What happened to fucking state rights? Do you know what I mean? I thought that was the whole deal here.

That's what they were really doing is they were just taking the federal government out of it and letting states have the control. And it's not even been a fucking week. And they're already like, no, yeah, we might, you know, we might use the federal government to enact this everywhere. Fuck the state right. If a state wants the right to make abortions legal, well, we got to get rid of that state rights.

Yeah. That state rights, they're not good. There is no point taking them seriously when they say stuff because they don't have actual beliefs other than we should be in control of stuff. The Missouri GOP is debating a bill to ban women from traveling out of state for abortions, which we'll get to how they'll know whether you did that or not because, yeah, we'll talk about that in a second. But Tennessee passed a law to make it a felony to receive abortion medication via the male. Arkansas trigger law would make it a felony to obtain an abortion. North Dakota governor pledged a special legislative session to pass new abortion restrictions. Oklahoma passed a Texas-style abortion bounty on her law.

Ohio Republicans are debating two different trigger laws that would immediately ban abortion once Rose overturned. Ohio is trying to reinstate a fetal heartbeat bill after it was struck down by the courts. Idaho is passing a law, authorizing civil lawsuits against abortion clinics and providers. that's just a bunch of shit probably the worst one was Louisiana passed the law that would allow murder charges for abortions but the law is written so fucking broadly that essentially you could get a murder charge for having an IUD because they don't actually know anything about how pregnancy and women's bodies work and neither the fuck do I I just read this article right but but we're not you and I are not making laws governing or related to how women's bodies by like that They don't know how it works because all the people involved with coming up with their shit is a bunch of old white dudes. Yeah.

So the law defined life beginning when the sperm meets the egg. So it's still in the fallopian tubes. I guess what IUDs do is prevent implantation. So it's not clear whether the law would get you a murder charge for having an IUD or getting a new IUD after the law's passed. We'll have the court sort that out, I guess. But like this fucking dumb ass is talking about how like, What we're in the middle of saying, is it rude to heckle, to yell at Brick Kavanaugh's porch? Right.

They put, Louisiana put in their law that they wrote in the law that the state would be allowed to disregard federal court rulings and contradicted the new law. One, you can't do that. I know. I know. I thought a civil war over this. Right. That's what I was, yeah, I saw that one. And I was like, but isn't that like a whole thing that you can't, that you can't just do that?

They're just out here just doing whatever, man. The Republicans will have some fucking random. random judge in the middle of nowhere overturned the entirety of the Biden administration's immigration policy. And they're like, well, what are you going to do? And this call writes in the bill, fuck judges, we're doing whatever we want. And it's also, well, what are you going to do? It's like there's a famous Andrew, I think it's Andrew Jackson quote where he had an initiative overturned the Supreme Court. And he said, the chief justice has made his ruling, let him enforce it. Essentially the same thing Trump said about by who. Right. The Supreme Court doesn't have an army.

right so it's like I mean we should have rule of law and stuff but also like one side's playing by made up rules other sides make it up their own role and also and I feel like one side feels as though they've been signaled by the Supreme Court that they're on the same team where all this shit is concerned do you know what I mean so they're not not worried about them anyway yeah I mean the federalist society makes sure they're all in the same team before they even come within distance sniffing the court one way which is going to be worse than before and how a state where you know you travel outside um just tech big tech stuff um there's a data broker that just had a reverse course they were they were they were selling location

data including uh people who visited abortion clinics so let's say you live in missouri and you want to travel to Chicago to get an abortion uh you're like well i just say i'm going to look at the you know i'm going to catch a bulls game right how's the government going to know well your data out there, it'll know you want to plan parenthood if you take your phone with you. That's why you're seeing women online say you've got a delete period tracker apps off your phone so the government won't know when you're pregnant. And

it So such sci-fi dystopian shit, man. It's wild. Fucking, like we're not that far removed from thought crime and shit like that, you know. Yeah, this company called SafeGraph was the main purveyor of this data.

And just so you know, the Supreme Court has ruled the police have to get warrants to get location data from phone companies, but nowhere does it say that a private organization say that's hardcore pro-life can't buy the apps, but buy the data from these apps and give it to the cops. That's just, well, in the course of business, that's just normal snitching. The courts aren't going to be able to stop that. This company called Safecraft, which, by the way, one of the main investors, Peter Thiel. You guessed it. He's back, baby.

He's all over this stuff. he's gay by the way so not that matters for anything except he's not worried about any of the shit effectively personally they got caught motherboard which is a tech blog went and bought a bunch of their data

and used it to track down specific people who went to abortion clinics and confronted them about it and they go actually we're going to stop doing that but instead what they did is they spun off a side company and moved those data selling decisions to a smaller company

they've sold two years of disaggregated device specific location data on millions of people to the Illinois government starting in 2019. And the federal government, after 9-11, started up all these different intelligence gathering operations with local law enforcement. So they're called fusion centers, but they're like regional terrorism threat detectors, but they've been using them to crack down on protesters. And I think it's also in Illinois, one of the fusion centers, from the federal government partner with local law enforcement used intelligence to crack down a bunch of pro-choice protesters. They arrested seven women because they said one of them threw pee on somebody. So seven women are in prison because one of them through pee on somebody.

And that's because of the Patriot Act. And so all this stuff is going to be way worse than before row. Except I guess the upside is maybe we have better. There will be, you know, YouTube tutorials and how to do at home, you know, what pill cocktails to take. That's where we're going to be for a row. Christ. I mean, you have a true right, though. And another one I saw was, I don't remember which state, but they were going to like make it, either try to make it illegal or make it a finable offense or something for private companies to pay for employees to travel to get an abortion. If they have to travel to another state to get an abortion, it's like, what happened to the free market? Like they're, like, they're doing that because it's cheaper than maternity leave, all right? Like, it's still fucking money when it comes to these corporations. And like, why are you standing? in the way of them doing what's best for their shareholders. Like I thought, I thought we lived in a free market society.

Why is that okay for you to do? That sounds like government overreach. To me, this whole thing sounds like government overreach. And it's just like none of this ever applies as long as it benefits whatever their stance is on a given subject. Like, none of their principles ever apply as long as, you know, they, help them, you know, justify their end, the ends of their mains,

whatever fuck, you know what I'm trying to say. The only principle is power. Like, even like I saw people unironically saying that protesting at Brett Kavanaugh's home is wrong because your home is a private place and he has a right to privacy. And I was like, what the fuck are you talking about?

He's ripped privacy out of the hands of, you know, half the population forever. The guy who runs that Stephcraft, company. I told you Peter Field is one of the big investors, but the guy who runs the company's name is Orrin Hoffman. And they got kicked off the Google store for violating data protection savings. So they have a track record of being shitty with this stuff. But I think that struck me as funny is he got punished by Wikipedia too because he was continually editing his own Wikipedia page to tell a better story about himself. So while this guy is selling your private

data about what doctor you visit, he's trying to keep you from knowing he's a shithead and keep all his secret secret by deleting stuff off his fucking Wikipedia page they don't believe in privacy for themselves. So yeah. Yeah. I don't know, man.

We didn't get a chance to play the video, but in Congress today, they're talking about this stuff and some shithead congressman from Senator from Montana. Do you want me to try to find it real quick? I'll highlight it in a rundown if you can play it. You got to see this to

That right there? Okay, hang on. Hang on everybody. Remember, like we said, producer Matt, he left us, but which that's okay. But, oh, yeah, I'm glad you said this. Okay, yeah, this is wild. Hang on. All right. Screen share here. Highly, highly technical operation. We run over here at the skews and let's see if this does it. Share tab audio. You saying that, Mark? Yeah. You hear it. If you were to take or destroy the eggs of a sea turtle, now I said the eggs, not the hatchlings, that's also a penalty, but the eggs.

The criminal penalties are severe, up to a $100,000 fine and a year in prison. Now, why? Why do we have laws in place to protect the eggs of a sea turtle or the eggs of eagles? Because when you destroy an egg, you're killing a pre-born baby sea turtle Or a pre-born baby eagle. All right. So a couple of things about this. One, what the fuck?

Right. That's Senator Steve Danes of Montana, I believe. Two, the presumption here, I would assume, is the sea turtle mom or the sea, the eagle mom wants to keep the kid. Right. Also, like humans are not critically endangered or whatever. Like, you have to go above and beyond in the protection of some of these species because of what we have done to them and their environments and everything, including taking measures to protect, you know, their eggs because, you know, some fucking redneck will make an eagle omelet or whatever if you don't, if you don't make it illegal to do so. The world's most patriotic omelet trade. You eat them on July 4th.

But, yeah, that's not even like the equivalent analogy. The analogy here would be, we put a sea turtle in jail. because she kicked an egg out of the nest because she decided she didn't want to raise a baby Z-turtle. Right. Right? Yeah. And also, I mean, I guess we've got to set up a program where the sea turtles can drop off their baby eggs at the fire department.

And then... There you go. So now you're thinking outside the box. Yeah. All right. So, yeah, again, producer Matt left toward the end of the show, which is why we didn't get to the comments and stuff. Because I would have had to do that. And y'all know I can't keep up with the various.

things at once so sorry about that but we thank you all for sticking around with us real quick if you want to see me live this summer you go to tray crowder dot com check out my dates i got going there uh also if you want to support the show and get some extra material from us you can go to weekly skews.com slash more or patreon and look me up sign up for the skews tier five dollars a month you get full-length bonus episodes we're having fun with it and lastly i want to say happy birthday to my little sister, Paige, who is 33 years old today.
