Tonight we talk about Kevin McCarthy being ripped apart by the monster he helped to create (shocked Pikachu face!), as well as Trump's quarter billion dollar fraud case, and more. Join us. Support the show

Hey, everybody. Welcome back. Happy Skews Day to you. It's October 3rd, 2023. I'm T. Cray Crower. That's Mark A.G. How you doing, Mark? Just laughing at the demise of, we're talking about a couple of circuses today. Trump's trial in New York, which is ongoing. And Kevin McCarthy, It's going to take a while to explain, but we're going to be doing an obituary for his political career. But first, it's doing an obituary for Diane Feinstein, who died late last week. A long national nightmare of her staffer is wheeling her around Capitol Hill doing elder reviews, so they didn't have to update their LinkedIn's, look for new jobs, is finally over. She was in Congress in the Senate for like 30-some years and before that and like local politics in San Francisco.

So, like, it's a long complex life, public life. And the hagiographies I'm seen written about, like, I've seen more honest, like eulogies given by loved ones at a funeral surrounded by other loved ones. I'm not saying that everything she did was bad, but you just want to walk through like a little bit of her legacy real quick. Yeah. So she became mayor in San Francisco after Harvey Milk was assassinated. All right? She's the one that found his body. that led to her, like, becoming, like, a passionate advocate for gun control, right?

She had personal experience for gun death. But also, I don't think people realize she was Harvey Milk's political opponent because she was kind of a conservative Democrat for San Francisco at that time. Harvey Milk happened to be gay, right? He's the first. Yeah, right. If you guys aren't familiar with that. So, like, when she became mayor, like, she vetoed same-sex benefits for, like, domestic

partner benefits with city employees. This is in the middle of the AIDS crisis, and I imagine the health insurance could become in handy for a lot of people. In the Senate, like, when she was mayor, she brought it up before, she repealed to raise the Confederate flag over City Hall for reasons, I don't know, and then had a guy in the San Francisco? Yes.

Because she was trying to, she was trying to pivot to the center. She was trying to, like, be like, get a national profile, and this is what you do. Like, Gavin Newsom's doing it now. It's, like, just typical centristin bullshit. But, like, like, then, you know, like, she, one of her biggest career accomplishments, so she pushed for, like, revealing,

CA torture under the Bush administration. That's good. But also, she had a personal beat for the CIA because they had hacked her emails. So it's not clear how much of that was the right thing. It was definitely the right thing to do, but how much of the motivation was the right thing versus, like, you know, getting revenge

of people had personally fucked with her. She also was, like, a huge supporter of the NSA, so she wasn't against people reading our emails, just her emails. So, like, I just like, these people are in, Public service. They work for us. You don't have to suck up to them. Right. Right. Yeah. And also just like the general political culture of this country, like you serving politics in this country. If you want to get into politics in the first place at that level, the type of person that generally attracts for the most part. And then that person spends 30 years in politics in this country and the way it's all shifted and stuff like that. Like it's going to be pretty spotty at the end of the day. Like the track record, I feel like that's kind of just the nature of the game. You know, and a lot of these people are not, you know, They're not angels, you know what I mean? But she,

obviously, she had a good run. They don't have to be. I don't expect anybody who came a political age. And when Ronald Reagan was governor of California to be some flaming hippie, but as far as like our general political environment, like California is a very safe seat for a Democrat. You could elect like an honest to God progressive as opposed to dying Feinstein who like voted more conservatively than John Tester,

who is a Democrat from Montana. You know, so they just like they could have always. always just replaced her with somebody who was more comfortable, like, speaking for braces, progressive causes and pulling the whole Senate to the left, right, to help more people. But, like, so I knew some appointed a woman by the name of Alfonza Butler to replace her. She's the first black lesbian in the Senate. He also bumblefuck that because it turns out she's living in California anymore. She's a former political advisor for Kamala Harris, who has been living in Maryland for the past few years, working for Emily's list. I haven't read anything bad

about it seems very nice and like newsman made this promise to appoint a uh a black woman which uh well and good because california probably has on the other like three million black women and every single one of them is probably smarter than Tommy Tuberville um so low bar but yeah yeah but like he also did the thing where he was trying to appoint someone to only serve out the rest of the term so it's like i'm going to appoint a black woman but immediately make her a token because she's going to be replaced in a year and a half and there's the next election people are already running in the in the primary So it's like it was like just she could run right like I mean she could yeah he changed his mind He changed his mind to extract to not extract that promise maybe it's a handshake deal which were to not interfere in the primary that's already ongoing that maybe she just said she didn't even want to run for the full term I don't know I don't know what they're doing but like uh anyway we got a maybe an honest to god left wing of representing california so that's that's the good but um I also want to mention um another development with besides dying finestein another uh another uh dead gangster

Tupac's Chacord Yeah, what is going on with this? I saw that they finally, they made an arrest in the Tupac murder case and I didn't really read into it or whatever. I was like, well, that's wild.

But you were in the group chat, you were saying, like, this dude has been around the case ever since it happened and they've, like, he's written books about it. And it's like, they just,

he's repeatedly confessed to it. Yeah, right. Right. So what, like, what is, what's happening?

Why now? Sometimes following the news closely, you feel like you're being gas-lit because people are pretending to discover things you've known for a long time. So, like, even the news, like the New York Times, we read this sentence to you, the Friday arrested Dwayne Keith Davis in connection with your course killing is a step in solving what hip-hop's greatest tragedies and longest mysteries. It's never been a fucking mystery. It's a scandal. The cops couldn't solve it because they were worried about discovering police chicanery. We'll get to that in a second, right? But you ask me why now.

And the closest thing I find her to answer is Davis, who he goes by his street name, street name is Keithy D. I'm just going to call him by a street name because it's the name he chose. And also it's more fun than saying Keith Davis. Yes, Keithy D. So Kifie D went on a YouTube show hosted by this, like, personality named DJ Vlad and confessed to it over again. I guess cops saw the YouTube video.

He was promoting a book. It's been out for a while he wrote called Compton Street Legend that he also confessed to providing the gun used in the shooting in. I think I mentioned they served a warrant on this case. That turns out they've been Keithy's house. And one of the things they confiscated was his book, which I looked it up, you can get it for $16 on Amazon or $9.99 for the Kindle. So they could have saved the warrant effort and the gas money and just fucking bought the book.

And like, this guy's been so well known as one of the assailants, the things were we've known since you know 1999 six seven or yeah seven yeah whatever it was uh

everybody was in Vegas for the Tyson fight all right Tupac and Shug Knight and a couple other guys jumped a bunch of rivals uh Shug Night was blood affiliated so was Tupac by association

Kee Fee Dee and his nephew Orlando Baby Lane Anderson were were Crips uh Baby Lane and some of his boys they jumped in front of Tupac's outside of Death Rose offices and stolen a chain from him a few weeks earlier.

So the Bupac beating him up was retaliation for that. They apparently the story's always been, just went and got a gun and came back and found Tupac and shot him dead. All right? Very straightforward. So straightforward. Every true crime thing up, like USA Network made a true crime series a few years back with Josh Duelan where they showed

these guys doing the killing. You cannot libel a living person So they convinced USA's lawyers. This case was pretty buttoned up. Did the cops not watch the USA show? Also, Kifi D's had a killed Tupac section on his Wikipedia for like, his Wikipedia went up. Okay, but I get that he went on, okay, went on YouTube and, but like, I don't know,

just the right or wrong cops all that. And they were like, okay, enough's enough. Like I still, what's the like, you know, what's their motivation? They got some like scandal brewing or something or looking for like good PR or something like that? Like, hey, let's do a good thing and just take the focus off for something else. It's been almost 30 years. So most of the cops who would have been involved in investigating at the time were been wrapped up in the Shug Nights orbit or whatever, have pensions, they're gone. That'd be my guess for why they're willing to solve it now. You got to remember how crazy

LA was in the 90s, right? Like, people, you tie all these things together, like the OJ trial. Rodney King, OJ. Rodney King, OJ. All the beatings and stuff. But like, no one trusted cops. and it wasn't just because they were racist because there were literally bloods and crips in the LAPD, right? Not like they were taking payoffs, they were doing that too. But I mean, they were jumped in gang members who then joined the police force

because it's a sweet gig if you like cracking heads, right? And so like a bunch of like LAPD, off duty LAPD were working security for death row records. They were hanging out there all the time. You would think of how a trial would go with all these cops in the orbit of these people who were both murderers and murder victims, all right? It just would not look good.

Let me read this from this story. This is a story from 1997 after Biggie was killed. The cop seized a car they thought was used in the drive-by. I remember, pretending that nobody knows who killed Biggie is also crazy, too, because he was killed him from 600 people at a party, right? And in LA traffic, a guy drove by and still was able to get away. So the impound of this car, they found in the garage of, wait for it, Kee-Fee-D. right the same guy yes so the cops zeroed in on this guy is like I don't know the

forest gump of dead rappers they'd nothing ever came with this but let me read from this quote from the same story about the found a car in kifida's garage several law enforcement agents may have witnessed the slaying including one off duty inglewood police officer working security for the rap star's entourage the officer chased the assailantz vehicle after shooting and helped escort members of the entourage of the hospital, but may have fled the scene without reporting his observations about the shooting to investigators. So, like, this all smells very weird. Why would a off-duty cop who's working, like, who's not doing anything wrong, working

off-duty security at a high-profile fancy party, flee the scene of a murder? You know what I'm saying? And then, like, enter this LA cop by the name of Russell Poole, who's a fascinating guy. He worked on the, uh, the biggie task force. He, talking about how shady everything around this looks. he was called in after he retired. He left the department to write books about how he became sort of conspiracy theorists. He thought the police were involved in the murder of Biggie because he ran into nothing but

like bureaucratic, like people throwing up roadblocks to try to, if he felt like people were trying to stop the case from being solved, he went to talk about reopening as a cold case and died suddenly in the police station. I don't think anything weird happened there, but if you're a person who thinks that people get up to weird shit, that looks Epstein-esque, right? Oh, yeah. And part of what drove pool crazy is one of his first big cases, he investigated a shooting where a cop killed another cop, like on purpose. It's not really clear what happened.

This guy named Frank Liga killed an officer named Kevin Gaines. The USA series depicted it as a road race thing gone wrong while they were on duty. Another one knew the other one was a cop. They just one flashed a gun at the other, another one shot him. I don't know what the truth is. Liga got off His self-defense claim held up But after that

He was under investigation again After a pound of cocaine that he had booked into evidence Went missing It turns out another cop But stolen it to get Liga in trouble Liga in trouble's revenge for the Gaines murder So One of the ways in which corruption costs

One reason is a complaint about police is Because I don't want them to solve crimes This case could have been solved 30 years ago If they weren't afraid of being embarrassed coming in the O.J. Case and the Rodney King beating and shit. But they did not want to find out because they're worried. Because you imagine if you're a good cop. So you're a major or a commander, you know, chief or whatever. And you want things to go well. And you're seeing all these things happen. And you're like, a cop killed another cop. We're investigating this one guy

for two different murder or two different rappers. None of them are connected. The cops apparently believe in a conspiracy theory that puff daddy paid that both of a murdered or whatever. And you're like, remember they end of burn after reading when JK Simmons characters like, well, what do we learn? I guess you learn not to do it again. Fuck if I know what we did. Yeah, right.

That's essentially LAPID's response to all this shit going on. Anyway, this is why I want honest policing and so they can actually solve cases. Tupac's been now been dead long and he's been alive and they finally got arrested around a guy who confessed to it on Wikipedia. So there we go. So, but just to backtrack a little bit,

that same guy though, Keefei D also was involved with Biggie's death I don't think so But he had He had a car That they thought was involved The car used in the drive-by shooting

Shooting the kill Oh okay But it doesn't It wasn't proved to be the case No The best case Best case scenario Somebody paid a hip man

That used to be in the nation of Islam Is the best working theory I don't I don't know It's all It's 30 years ago It's like I don't even know What comes up putting Kee-D in prison at this point He's 60 years old

whatever. And justice for Chupac, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Pappall called Kee-D is wild. People used to always, you know, like predict that one day. You know what I mean? Like in the 90s and the rap game and all it's like, you know, we're going to have pap balls one day bumping nothing but a G thing and stuff like that

or being referred to as Keefei D. So we're getting there. Of course, you know, where I'm from, there's papas called cornbread and, uh, you know, scooter and things like that. So they're playing, they were playing ice cube as a, they were playing an ice cube as a bump out music for Monday football last night, buddy. It's already happened. Yeah, well, I remember during the

and I know we needed to move on, but like in the Super Bowl when Dre and Snoop and him and did that whole thing, I saw somebody tweet, it was like, you know, it was like, why is for the Super Bowl every year, they always pick like some old legendary acts, you know what I mean, like the stones or prints or like red hot chili peppers or something for old people. Why don't they get something

for young people? It's like, oh, Dre and Snoop's like, oh, great, finalists, oh shit, no, you know, like. Yeah, Trey's first act of world-class wrecking career, they started DJ in the 70s. Yeah, all right, well, let's get into it with us. As always, this producer, Matt. This is weekly skews.

Well, I guess I don't know if it is the first, one of the first of one of the very many of Trump's big days court. He's going to have coming up over the coming years. This one is a quarter billion dollar frog case in New York. They're aiming to take everything from him and kick him out of the storied city. We'll see how that's going. Then later, of course, Kevin McCarthy, you may have heard, had his face eaten by the leopards eating faces party, which he previously was one of the chairs

of shocked Pikachu face. Everybody will break down what the hell happened there and what's going to happen in the future. But first, the Daily Dumbass, Matt, graphic. tonight's d d trump again for not also being afraid of sharks with electric powers what is better than the whale thing from last week down and that boat's going down and i'm on top of a battery under water starts flooding in i'm getting concerned but then i look 10 yards to my left and there's a shark over there so i have a choice of electrocution or a shark you know what? I'm going to take electrocution. I will take electrocution every single time. Do we agree?

I will take electrocution. Wouldn't everyone take electrocution? Or be it even by a shark? Mark, you don't think you could take a shark? I think you can whoop a shark's ass. They say, you punch a minute. Yeah, so you know. Everybody knows. We've all heard that. It's funny that there's like there are things out there like that like it seems like everyone

has heard that no one is ever going to need to use for the most part. And that's one of them. It's like, punch a shit. everybody every american knows every american male at least knows punch a shark in the nose you got a chance you know but americans by large or terrible at uh like risk evaluation like we'll we'll worry about like we'll carry a gun into a Walmart know where all the exits are but not like eat broccoli yeah yeah right uh okay so what the hell is what's he actually talking about here does anybody know they've zeroed in the context of the writer's strike and the green new deals i mean sorry the

The auto worker strike and the Green New Deal stuff, they've zeroed on the real target, the real problem being electric vehicles, which he's pivoted in his brain's talking about how he wouldn't want to ride an electric boat. Because if it sinks, he's talking about this repeatedly. He's afraid the boat sinks, she'll get electrocated. Which it's not true. So that's what he's talking about. It's just like, okay, we're talking about, but he made it about boats, but in terms of electric cars, and people talk about it, like, oh, they explode or what if they take over and ride off a bridge and all this stuff? And it's like, you have a much greater chance of just getting killed than your regular ass car or a truck anytime you're on the road, right? Like, just driving in, like, in traffic.

Like, they'll drive every day. Like, driving itself isn't dangerous, but you can't drive a battery powered car because zip, zap, you know, common hippie stuff or whatever. Yeah. If you drive into a river, you're going to get the electric chair. If you drive into a river, you're very likely fucked either way. You know what I mean? That's the other thing, too. Like, don't drive into a river.

to rivers. Don't drive off bridges. I don't care if you got a battery in the car or not. Anyway. Talk about being bad at risk analysis. One of my wife's big nightmares is like driving into a river and then drowning. So she got a flick thing of your keychain that I guess if you press against a car window, it's spring loaded to break the window so you can get out. We live in Los Angeles. No rivers. Yeah. The Los Angeles River is this big. It's a puddle driving in the middle of like a big Culver or whatever. It's famous for how tiny it is, in fact.

Yeah. If it's the Terminator 2, the big chase scene with the big rigos through the LA River. That's the L.A. River. It's a concrete aqueduct. All right. So it's talking about Trump's legal issues for a second because his trial started yesterday in New York for this civil trial over the fraud case being brought by the New York Attorney General. And it's an absolute fucking circus. The judge already ruled last week for summary judgment on like the big count.

Now they're just haggling over what the penalty is going to be, basically. He's been showing up to court. Um, even though he didn't have to, which is against, which seems weird, unless you know the fact that, uh, he's supposed to be doing a two day deposition, uh, he skipped two days of deposition, his, uh, case against his ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen. He was this an excuse to get out of doing a deposition. I twist it's so, uh, with all the court, like the former president has so many different, like various, you know, court proceedings going on that he's like using one of them to get out of others. Uh, it's, uh, like you said, go to your. prison if I'm in another prison. Yeah, you think, Trey. So what doesn't about is doing, like, inflating, like, numbers related to his property, various real estate properties to get, like, better loans and better terms from banks.

Like, for example, his, like, Trump Tower Penthouse is 10,000 square feet, which is pretty big and sounds awesome, but he said it was 30,000 square feet, and that's just a thing you could measure. You can't really lie about. And he was doing this, according to all the court documents, but testimony from his former employees because he wanted to get on the Forbes list. He just wanted to even a list of cool, rich people. So, like, he would lie about all this stuff.

Not very bad. And just the fact that he would lie by, I mean, you know, he lied about anything to make himself sound like he hits harder. Like, I get that he's doing it for an actual result, more money from a bank or whatever. But it's also just perfectly in keeping with his character just to do that anyway, you know? Yeah. Yeah. And he, uh, so it's also really weird stuff.

Like, according to tax estimates, Moralago is worth $18 million or was a few years ago. What sounds low to me, but it's also, like, subject to various land use, like, restrictions, like zoning laws. Like, you couldn't just turn into a resort because to lower his tax bill, he's done stuff like declared a private club, not a personal residence, so he's just living at a club that he technically doesn't own or some shit. So I don't know.

Anyway, he says it's worth a billion dollars, which is not worth a billion, but it's also probably worked more than $18 million. But if you can't, if you can't build a property, it just is what it is. It might be $18 million, right? Anyway, he says it's worth a billion because, let me quote here from his, his testimony. He said that it's worth whatever he wants to be worth because he could, quote, find a buyer from Saudi Arabia to pay any price he suggests, which is not the defense you think it is, buddy. He's essentially saying, I can go get a bribe, so of course it's worth

a billion. Right. He also, he posted a sketch of him sitting in court next to Jesus. Which is like, so funny. Yeah, if you got the picture, it's pretty well. Put it up their magazine. It doesn't even look like Jesus. It looks like a, like Dave Mustaine or something. But it, which is kind of weird because this actually is a more faithful representation of Trump than these people usually do. Like I'm assuming this is one of his magalunitics who made this. Obviously, it's like added to the pantheon of, you know, Trump being a fucking, you know, savior rock star or whatever that they love to picture him as.

But usually in these, he's like shredded. You know what I mean? Or so you're holding an AK-47 or something. That actually kind of looks like him. So then it's funny that they bumbled the Jesus part. But you know, got to have white Jesus. Mark,

you can't have like period accurate Jesus. White Jesus must for this piece. But Jesus died at 33 and that looks like Jesus at 46. So I'm very confused about it. Well, he's been aged by what his, you know, his champion is having to go through here. All right?

Yeah. I'm like, I'm just like Jesus. And he really thinks that. Because Trump's involved, it's got to be really clownish and incompetent. So, like, he, like, he was complaining about not getting a jury trial and how unfair it was. He's got a bench trial with just a judge involved, but his own lawyer that he, I guess, isn't paying, didn't turn on the form to get a jury trial or didn't check a box or something. His lawyer has ever done a real bang-up job.

If you have to pull up this image from the courtroom, Matt, if you got this picture of Alina Haba, she's using a, you can't see it's blocked out because they're a thing, but she's using a gaming computer. like she brought the computer she uses to play like fortnight or sky rim uh to court uh that's probably a good rig you know yeah powerful he also less than two days in the trial bumble fucked himself into a gag order because he went on truth so uh social and attacked uh the judge's name of judge ingeran the judge's clerk uh he posted a link to her instagram and called her chuck schumer's girlfriend because i guess somebody scrolled down and found an old pick of her taking a picture with chuck schumer it's New York City politics, man. I'm not sure, like, 50,000 people probably have a picture

with Chuck Schumer. But anyway, he's not supposed to talk about the case anymore, so he's, of course, immediately going to violate that. He got McDonald's delivered to court, like six bags of McDonald's yesterday. Then he went to another fast food joint after court and delivered this amazing rant to the cashier, if you got this video, Matt, like where he's just complaining about how unfair the judge is and how racist the attorney general is to a group of kids who We're just trying to get a happy meals or something. Right. The whole thing's fucking bizarre.

He's got like two 11-year-olds in front of him who seem pretty confused for a good reason whenever Matt gets this brought. But it's also, he's going against a judge because he fucked up the jury thing, right? And he's actively antagonizing the judge and her staff on social media and stuff. It's just classic galaxy brain shit. All right, Matt. You know, it's a rig deal. We love your financial statement. are much lower than the actual network.

The judge and your fake Attorney General of New York who's driving business out who's letting murderers run all over the city. They don't do anything to murderers that are running all over the city. The Attorney General... Oh, that kid just sort of checks out there. Yeah. All right, good, Matt. So, like, I just, like, this feels like real death of empire kind of shit.

I do want to say one of the reasons I want to talk about this is, like, it feels like our institutions are finally saying, saying that for themselves. Like, for one, Joe Biden gave a pretty good speech over the weekend where we talked about the need to say democracy and why democracy is important, which is, I feel was dumb to say, I need to say out loud, but I guess a lot of people have forgotten because they've only lived under democracy. But for the first time, he used Trump's name directly as a threat to democracy. So it seems like he's getting a campaign mode, which is good. Do you remember last week you talked about how Trump threatened

Martin Millie's life? Yeah. Okay, well, turns out that was because of a misunderstanding. He threatened the wrong guy's life. Happen was CNN called him up and said they had confirmation on the record from one of his former close advisors that all the stuff he was rumored to have disabled veterans in his eyed line or say going to visit a cemetery for American troops in France like he didn't want to go because they were all fucking losers. Losers. Yeah. They're losers. They're losers. They gross him out. Yeah. Like he said, don't get captured all that shit. Yeah. Hites the truth. So they called up Trump and said, we have somebody on the record saying, saying they can confirm you said all this stuff. And he goes, like, he runs through his head. Who heard me see all that stuff? He goes, Mark Millie, I'm going to kill him.

So it's like a weird confirmation as a denial. And he said it all, right. Yeah, because it turns out it was John Kelly. His longest serving chief of staff is, of course, a former Marine General. And so John Kelly just went on the record because he was so offended by Trump threatening Martin Millie's life after it was actually him that confirmed this. And he said, he's him on Trump. He called Trump a person and is nothing but contempt for a democratic institutions or

constitution and the rule of law. There is nothing more that can be said. God help us. And after reading Kelly's remarks, this retired Army major general named Paul Eaton, who's a key advocate for veteran voting, a really big dude in those circles, released a video where he recorded two years ago when he first heard these stories where he said, who could vote for this traitor to Trump? And he urged veterans to vote Democratic because our country's honored depends on it.

All right. So like, between the court system standing up to Trump, which is with the gag order today, Biden actually saying, fuck it. We actually have to make this case explicit. And the military, we talked about before. how weirdly Democrats won the military vote this last time. I,

that this feels like, okay, maybe people are figuring out how dangerous this man. Well, they've only continued to like antagonize them further since then. You know what I mean? Like we talked about Final reference, a Patreon episode or a main episode,

but like they, and I made a video about it, but like they're always insulting the troops and talking about how queer and woke they are and stuff and all the shit with Tuberville and everything and all that stuff with Trump. It's like they're, they're like actively, but that's what they do.

We talked about that a ton, too. It's like they just take turns adding more demographics of Americans to the list of people that they actively antagonize just in service of their one very narrowly defined base that they have. And it's just, it just seems crap. I don't understand why they don't understand that that's not a good long term strategy, generally. Yeah. It was Muslims for, it was Muslims for 20 years. Now it's not just Muslims. It's gays, transgender.

FBI agents, the military, courts. It's like the America's enemy in the enemy list can never get shorter, apparently. So, yeah, we're running way behind. You're going to skip the rest of the last small dumbasses and just get into the Kevin McCarthy stuff because it's... Yes, but I just want to say very quickly that apparently just summarizing one of them. So Trump called Nikki Haley a bird brain and then the next day she woke up and outside of her hotel room, the Trump campaign had put a bird cage outside of it. So I just thought that was funny with a note that says from Trump campaign on it.

Yeah. Sorry, had you ever said about you? Yeah. It's a clown all the way down. Let's talk about one of the senior clowns who's still in government, sort of, even though he lost his main gig. Kevin McCarthy, play this video, Matt. The yeas are 216. The nays are 210.

the resolution is adopted without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table the office of speaker of the house of the united states house of representatives is hereby declared vacant all right so what we predicted was going to happen i thought it would happen way sooner honestly back when kevin mccarthy made his deal to become speaker which allowed one person to make a motion to vacate right matt gates made the motion which we always figured was going to happen we even about a couple weeks ago how he was prepared to do it he did it eight republican votes combined with every democratic vote ousted fucking kevin mccarthy we'll get to the reasons why i'm in case you're wondering so the final vote was 216 210 um eight republic eight republicans that joined the democrats are kevin buck uh andy biggs tim burchette your boy from uh Tennessee yeah somebody named crane i don't know matt gates uh somebody named good nancy mace and somebody named rosendale uh i want ken buck is the interesting player here, because he's been one of the lunatic members of Freedom Caucus for a long time. It sort of emerged as a sane elder statesman in this context. Here he is over the weekend

talking about why there's so much dysfunction in the House. He laid the source at McCarthy's feet a few months. I think that the the weaponization of government committee, the impeachment of the president are all distractions that will make sure that the bank. base is excited, make sure the base is donating money, make sure that people don't focus on the dysfunction that we have with a speaker who promises something different to a lot of different groups and can't deliver. Right. So that's the same case for impeaching McCarthy is he's a line sack of shit and no one can take him in his word. Nobody ever knows what's going on. So when Buckcast his vote, he said he was a yes for now to House McCarthy because the assumption

was the McCarthy was going to just try to run for it to get his job back and maybe have to make some more concessions, either to Democrats or the House crazies or somebody else. Bobert said she was a no for now. But anyway, McCarthy took it off the table because he just announced right before we went on that he's not going to run for the Speaker's Office again. He quoted Lou Gehrig. I am the luckiest man in the world speech, which is like, Lou Gehrig was coming into the acceptance stage of grief about his own life because he was dying of a disease so rare he was named after himself. Exactly. McCruthy was bad at his job and got fired from it.

Right. Because also the context of Lou Gehrig saying, like you said, he got a truly horrific disease that is so rare. It's named for him. And so what made that quote so special was him recognizing how blessed he had been otherwise, right? He's standing in front of all the fans and stuff. And he's like, you know, I know how it looks, but you know what? I've had a fucking great run and I couldn't have asked for him more.

And I'm a truly lucky man. It's like, I don't feel like that. lies to Kevin McCarthy in this case. First of all, you're not dying horrifically, but also your legacy is not quite Lou Gehrig's buddy. I've also seen people like trying to just random people on Twitter, but like trying to like spin this against the Democrat somehow. It's like all their, so they're like working with, you know, the lunatic caucus on this

or whatnot. Like it's like the Democrats' responsibility to not allow the Republicans to tear themselves apart. Like, why wouldn't they do that? Of course, that's what that's what they should do. do you know like it's up to it's not their fault that the republicans can't keep their house in order keep their shit together you know okay there's there's four and 35 people in congress none of them including kevin mccarthy trust kevin mccarthy you have three basic voting blocks you got

democrats who don't trust kevin McCarthy to stick the to deals he made you got the eight crazies who voted to alston or seven crazies plus kem buck who voted to alston because they can't trust him the kempc made to them then you got the rest of the republican caucus who doesn't trust him at all also but it doesn't have a better idea. Nobody wants Kevin McCarthy, except for Kevin McCarthy. So, like, anyway, the House adjourned. They're coming back next Tuesday.

I guess they're doing a week cooling off period, and they'll come back and try to figure out how the fuck they're going to be in a government institution. But so, Speaker of the House is third in line of presidency, right? So if, like, Air Force One, flew into Air Force two tonight. Who do you think of be president if Biden and Kamala were dead? Oh, yeah, I don't know.

They got to have like an interim, right? Like an automatic interim or something? Fourth in line of succession, right before the Secretary of State, is President Pro Tem of the Senate, who is currently Patty Murray, the senator from Washington. So get ready for Commander-in-Chief, Patty Murray, guys. So this came after a very long, stupid weekend, which is the final nail in Kevin McCarthy's cough. And we don't need to play this next video, Matt. So they did manage to fund the government over the weekend.

They passed a continuing resolution to fund the government for 45 more days. We have to do this all over again. continuing resolution emits any funding for any more funding for Ukraine. It was extremely dumb. Republicans tried to rush a continuing resolution through before people could read it so Democrats are trying to delay so they could read the actual bill. In the middle of all this,

Jamal Bowman pulled a fire alarm that everyone lost their mind about, even though there was nobody's story about pulling the fire alarm made any sort of sense. Like the idea that he did it to delay the vote doesn't make any sense because it was in a different building than the Capitol. No one could even hear it in the Capitol. you would not need to evacuate the capital for that? He says he was trying to take a shortcut to a door that's usually open. That's what set off the fire alarm.

The signs were confusing. I don't know. I don't know about that. I mean, you know, like I'd read like, oh, they only gave him 15 minutes to read it.

So he was trying to, you know, delay it for that reason because this was bullshit or whatnot. I didn't know it was in a whole different building though. But I mean, dude, we've all seen those fire alarm. We all know what those look like. Like,

you know, my 10-year-old knows better than, and he's known better since he was six than the fucking point. Right. They've been red and so. fire on them. Like, I don't buy it. I don't buy it. He used to be a high school principal. He's presumably suspended kids for pulling a bar arm. Yeah, right. The whole thing is just so fucking dumb. Republican Congressman Troy

Neals tweeted a picture of himself holding handcuffs like he was going to arrest Jamal Bowman. You did used to be a cop, but he was fired as a cop in Texas for destruction of evidence in 1998. Yeah. Make sense he is now in Congress. You know what I mean? Like it checks out Nobody's theory Really makes any sense here I saw a picture of the sign It did look a little confusing

It said if you push this button The door will open in 30 seconds I don't know Everybody's full of shit here It doesn't matter Because it didn't make any minute He voted for the bill He wasn't trying to delay passage of it

They got 400 votes Anyway After all this Republicans were mad Because they wanted to like More strict funding cuts The 35 who didn't vote for it During which there were rumors

that Gates was going to introduce this motion to vacate over the weekend, Kevin McCarthy tweeted this. You got this image, Matt. It said, bring it on. Guess what, Kevin. Right. It has been brought on.

Yeah, they did in fact bring it on after that. That's the graphic of the 911 call. Yeah. Do stab me? Tap me. Quote for man stabbed. Yes. I love a good quote for man stabbed moment.

And this is this one certainly qualitative. But, like, people, also I've seen a lot of people, a lot of like the, you know, lunatic contingent, like the caucus's base, they're thrilled about this, dude. They're like, now we see now who's actually got balls in the party. And they're talking about eight people, you know, and then they're talking, we got to get rid of all these other 216. We got to get them out, you know, because we see who the real patriots are and that type of thing. And it's like, what for what? Like, what did they, what did they do? What's going to happen? What big victory did they achieve by doing this? You know what I mean? They're just fucking holding the whole government hostage and fucking everything up for everybody. And people are loving it. They have accomplished nothing but cucking Kevin McCarthy, which is truly funny. I'm here for it. But just as far as how humiliating this is, it's the first time in U.S. history, a speaker's been removed through a motion to vacate.

It's the shortest speakership since a guy named Michael C. Kerr, who served from December 1875 to August 1876 because he died of tuberculosis. do you know how hard you have to try to be the most embarrassing congressman in history named McCartney? McCarthy, right, yeah, man. It also was kind of funny that McCarthy, you know, was like the victim of something of a witch. It's not really a witch, honey, is a dipship, but you know what I mean? Like, they came for him or whatever. Yeah, this shit, we don't need to play this video back because they're really a little bit behind, but shit's so dumb that Fox News was saying nice stuff about Nancy Pelosi because she was able to manage a bear majority.

Bernie, Buffy the same size, without being humiliated or losing any votes. Kevin McCarthy is so bad at his job, he was sitting in the house watching the vote results along with us, not knowing whether he was going to win or lose it. Your whole job is to count fucking votes. Yeah, right. When they voted him out, one of the dipsets was like, now what? I don't know, man. You're the one running this show.

It's a dog catching the car, man. You know what I mean? That's what Matt Gates and them are right now. It's like, well, okay. Now what are you going to do? So some guy named Patrick McHenry, who's on the Financial Services Committee as a chairman, is now the Speaker Pro Tem. So he's totally in charge, sort of, although with no power, he can't really do anything. This is like, the only thing I could remember in history that's close to this in my living memory,

is travel back into the 90s, the middle of the Clinton impeachment saga. Newt Gingrich was discovered to have been cheating on his wife in the middle of an impeachment, you know, proceeding. It was at least partly about Bill Clinton cheating on his way. So the next guy up was named Bob Livingston, who never assumed the speakership because he suddenly announced that Hustler had dug up his mistresses, and he would not just leave the speaker race, but quit entirely. And the guy that succeeded them was the guy with the name of Dennis Haster, who was founded to be a serial child molester and spent 15 years in prison. The most effective Republican speaker in my lifetime was the one who was a serial child molester. There might be something wrong with this party, bud. I know.

So, if people don't follow, like, let's walk through why nobody likes him or trusts him. So here's the sequence of events in a nutshell. So back in January, he made an agreement with hardline conservatives, some of which the terms of the deal of that have never been made public. So we don't even know what they were, but that's what he gave them much of stuff to get their supportive speaker. Then in May, McCarthy made a public agreement with Democrats and set their federal budget at a certain level in order to revert a default on the national debt. In September, though, under pressure from the conservative hardliners, McCarthy attempted to get further spending cuts that he promised to get Democrats not to go for. That's what led up to the government shutdown. Then he ultimately conceded to Democrats and helped

pass a funding bill that largely did not include any of the cuts that the hardliners wanted. And those are the same cuts that McCarthy had originally made until Democrats he wouldn't seek. So he'd lied to everybody every step of the way, depending on what the day, he needed to get through the day. And that's why nobody was going to vote to save his fucking ass. All right. So the person I do kind of think, though, do you think like, I mean, again, dude, I'm, I've got major Schadenfreude over this, fuck Kevin McCarthy and all that. But as far as this, you know, the crazy caucus goes, the ones they're kind of holding him

hostage and the whole party hostage. I mean, he gave him that thing where it's like, it only takes one vote to, you know, to bring up the motion to vacate or whatever. So he was always, like, at their beck and call, which sucks. but like I don't like I don't know how you do handle those those people that's their whole thing is that they're you know they're like unreasonable so like they're going to have their hardliner demands that are just not you know realistic but they're not going to back off of them either so I mean this is like this is what they deserve this is what they've built you know what I mean over the past few years they've like let these wolves into the hen house or fox however the fuck the thing goes and now they have to you know reckon with it and I don't know how they're going to actually do that with him or whoever takes over next you know well going back to ken buck's critique of him he's essentially saying McCarthy is so spineless and weak that he could not manage these people now like I don't know how you do it but that's the fucking job and McCarthy asks for it yes right so like in normal times what you do is somebody like gauge is acting up and you need his votes to pass the bill you go to him and say hey matt I'll give you a better committee next congress if you go along with this, but if you don't, you're going to get a well-funded primary challenger

and no campaign funding from the NRCC, right? And then he'd be like, okay, I'll fall in line. Or like, you just go tell him, like, we need this, we'll get you, I'll get you next time. The problem is you couldn't promise anything because they didn't trust him. Plus, he already gave Gates all the cool committee chairmanships just to get speakers to get in there, yeah, right.

So he had nothing left to give him. And he wasn't willing to give. He could have probably saved his speakership if he'd given Democrat stuff and gotten their votes to stay on. But he didn't want to give because he thought that he correctly understood that would be seen about Fox News as being a traitor for giving up whatever he gave Democrats to save himself. And that's why his big speech to the Congressional Caucus, he was saying, that's why he's a big hero because he did negotiate with Democrats. All right. Anyway, Matt Gates is the real driving force, as we talked about here.

Like, Gates beat with him largely feels is personal because Kevin McCarthy didn't defend him enough when he was accused of being a sex criminal. So, but, like, this is a week of a speaker, McCarthy was. He was deposed by, like, a nepo baby with a balloon head and a fake ID machine for underage girls. There's nothing he could do to stop it. But everyone's really mad at Matt Gates over this because this is a total self-inflicted wound led by one asshole. John Cornyn called efforts to oust McCarthy disgraceful and compared him to terrorist attacks. A congressman from New York named Anthony Desposito, leaving McCarthy's ass last night, said, the meeting went well, and the consensus is that Matt Gates is an asshole.

And here's a video Chip Roy posted this evening, essentially challenging Matt Gates to a fight. Parking lot, 6 p.m. Yeah. Come out me and call me a rhino. You can kiss my ass. Look, I've spent a lifetime fighting for limited government conservatism. I have laid it all on the line. I have not seen my family for two days in the last 30 days.

You go around talking your big game and you thumping your chess on Twitter. Yeah, come in my office to come out of a debate, mother. you know why? Because I'm standing up for this country every single day. He said motherfucker, but bleeped in his own video for reasons I can't really understand. So as far as what happens next, I don't know if anyone knows. Like, I thought McCarthy would just get his job back and it's probably the most likely outcome because I don't know who's left, who wants it and both could get the votes. I'm guessing Steve Scalise.

But like, he could have just either given some token, like concessions to Democrats, like a few more committee members or something. or just sit through 20 round 25 rounds of voting until someone murders Matt Gates both of those are better plans of whatever he was going to do like part of the reason the galaxy brain centrists are blaming Democrats for this because the majority of votes take up from Democrats but you don't have to like they don't want McKiby Speaker you can just vote your conscience here yeah right yeah your control and any of those Republicans could choose to caucus with Democrats right there came Jeffrey the speaker and everything would be roughly normal you can still vote the way you want to

on bills. Hakeem Jeffries would have to give you, you know, concessions to get on what bills come to the floor, because if you don't vote for them, Democrat votes aren't enough to pass them. That's what kills me about this whole thing. It's like, I know this isn't, this is not the way it works in America, especially right now. But like, I watch all this and I'm like,

you think, again, some of these more moderate Republicans that still somehow exist, the rhinos, as Gates and then we call them, that are in the Congress, like, would have an opportunity. And I know that like, Hakeem Jeffrey's like today or yesterday, like, he, like, called for this from them. But, like, they have an opportunity, like you said, like actually work with the Democrats just a little bit just to make some shit happen after everybody has seen what it looks like, what this looks like and how embarrassing and humiliating it all should be and how, like, circus like it all is.

And then to then turn around and actually accomplish some shit for a while and return some semblance of sanity to the House of Representatives, I would think would be like a good move. But I know that they're like, well, we can't do that. can't. It's like, shit, McCarthy's like, claiming himself to be a hero because he did not work with Democrats. It's like, that's a death sentence. What reaching across the aisle is a fucking death sentence now. And that's a, it's a real bummer. I thought for a little bit when they're kicking around this power sharing idea, which I'll explain a minute. But like, I thought we're going to get like my dream of a parliamentarian system for a second. So are we going to have like five parties in a coalition government? Fuck yeah. Yeah. So because people

came around the idea of like a power like Democrats vote for McCarthy and in exchange, get a few committee chairmanships or maybe a few more members on committees or something. So, like, essentially, that McHenry guy, who's now the Speaker Pro Tem in the House, like, blame Democrats for voting to Alice McCarthy instead of, like, trying to get one of those deals. You have a Republican saying, just vote to save McCarthy. Everybody said, I understand what the liberals are. I know you support the constitutional order, except in a moment like this. You can't be counting in a moment like this.

Bro, the members of your own party, you're mad at. Right, exactly. Why would they do that? Like you said, they're not, they're not like, offering them anything. They're not giving them a reason to do that other than just like, really, you're going to let them pull this off? Like, I don't know. Like, I don't even know what the rationale is supposed to be. They're just like getting pissy because Democrats are not saving their ass. Yeah. But for, to what end? Why would they? What reason do they have for doing it?

There isn't one. So it's not, it's not the Democrats job to solve a neutral GOP drama to save the ass of a speaker they can't trust in no one life. Exactly. Exactly. Yes. Plus, McCarthy's done stuff like keep Adam Schiff. Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar off committees for completely bullshit partisan reasons. So that's the sort of thing that people remember. Why are they going to save your ass personally when like it doesn't materially change anything? The House still won't pass any sensible bills. I mean, you said all this earlier, but that, right, it's like he, they, the, you know,

the people in his own party get pissed at him because he's like, oh, you're working with the Democrats too much. But he doesn't keep his word to the Democrats either. So he just like, he pisses everybody off and this is what happens, you know? Yeah. like the other the other things people float around the democrats could ask for is like a commitment that the national republican campaign committee wouldn't spend in some vulnerable districts in 2024 which i don't know why you trust mccarthy's word on that yeah right um they suggested some policy concessions like a reinstated child tax credit with the whole point of this fight was republicans wanted 30 percent funding cuts across the board for every domestic spending program they're not going to like give you a child tax credit in exchange for kevin mccarthy to stay speaker that's the kind that's the thing they're mad at kevin mccarthy for giving up and the first place, he didn't even give it to him. But, like, one of the things they're floating around for people to, Democrats to ask for in exchange for Cuban McCarthy in the role of speaker is an end of the Biden impeachment hearings.

The impeachment inquiry has been a huge disaster. Right. Four of them. Yes. Keep doing it. They're going to make themselves look bad with it. Like, and it's clearly not going to actually go anywhere. So what kind of offer is that?

Like, it's not like it's really making Biden look bad. The only people that's making it look bad is them. So why would the Democrats do shit about that? They had the first day hearings and their first may witness, their constitutional legal experts. Oh, I don't see proof here for any of the way. They got caught fabricating text messages. Steve Bannon saw poorly a win and called them feckless losers for doing it this way.

And one of the Democrats challenged one of the witnesses, the same constitutional scholar, and asked him, have you ever advocated for polygamy being legal and religious grounds? And did you ever defend a, one polygamist who'd raped a 13-year-old girl and you had to say, yeah. So, like, this is all, like, been horrific. I don't understand, like, Democrats played no role in here except doing what they were supposed to do, which when your opponents are doing an own goal fucking let them, like, we're coming

up on a very important election of Virginia, we're leading into an election year. Anything that makes Republicans look correctly asinine that breaks through the media noise, if we can see how crazy these people are, is good because it's hard to get that through. So I'm happy Democrats get to politics for once. Yeah, yeah. Matt, there's some of my questions and comments up there. You had something a minute ago. I don't know if that was a misclick or what, because I didn't have time to read it. But, yeah. Okay, Mandy Groler says it would be absolutely hilarious if Hakeem Jeffries is somehow elected speaker. In a same government, like, there's like, I don't know, 15, 20 Republicans who were in districts that Biden won.

It would make absolute sense for them to like, you don't have to change parties. You can go independent caucus of the Democrats to have a sane speaker. if they can pass stuff in regular order. And again, like I said earlier, you don't have to vote for very liberal bills you're uncomfortable with. You can vote your conscience. You just have sane people in charge. That's what would happen in like a parliamentary system like, you know, the UK or something

or Canada or France. It's like, things don't have to be this nonsense. Well, these people feel so beholden to the lunacy of the MAGA, you know, contingent and whatnot. Maybe those are in districts like that. They're in like just general, like moderate suburban districts. or wherever they are, you know, maybe consider switching to independent or something. If they've done generally okay, you know what I mean?

Because, I don't know, feels like that good. Because then you don't have to worry about being like, fuck, those dipshits. I'm not going to worry about that. But I don't know. DJBT says Hating McCarthy is the most bipartisan issue of our time. Yeah. I did want to mention this story as are good. Obsessed for Disneyland.

Oh, you must know my wife. You have four consecutive failed Republican speakers, McCarthy, Ryan, Bainer, and Gingrich. Oh, for four. Two things are true, but it seems like a wrangling these bunch of idiot cats seems like an impossible job, but also that Kevin McCarthy was terrible at it. I do want to, because, like, he feels like a character from, like, Fargo, like William H. Mace's character, he just tells, but he just lies to the person in front of him to get to the next moment with no plan for how to solve the problem in total. And like, if you're honest with people and being like, I understand you want to

pass this bill, we do not have the votes as opposed to being like, oh, sure, we'll get to it. It's like, just fucking, yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's what he's been trying to do the whole time, you know, like you said, just like get to the next moment, just saying and doing whatever it takes just to get past this point and it became untenable, you know, pretty quickly. Margaret Grigsby says, is Mark's hat San Antonio sod poodles? I, it's a, uh, I just saw, the hat and a hat website I visit sometimes and like it. I believe it's a minor league baseball team in Clearwater, Florida,

but that's obviously a shout out to the surfing, the cool skateboarding dog from the Simpsons is probably why I got into it. I found the Amarillo side poodles. Yeah, I see here. Melissa Bean Felder says, can we dominate the Republican gentleman from New York

you showed last week saying all the folks are insane? I think eventually, like, These, do you have to get together with donors and being like, this is a man. We can't pass your evil tax cuts. We can't defund children's lunches because these people are too unruly. So can you stop, help us defeat them, Coke brothers and so forth? That, like, I'm not sure if that's in total a battle system, but I do know it's less chaotic.

And, uh, will be less likely everything fucking collapses. Yeah, right. Uh, yeah, Margaret Gregory says, oh, yeah, I'm a real. Oh, yeah, it's a side podels. It looks like a different thing. Mark's got going on there. But yeah, we said, we've talked. forward by how like you would think that some of those puppet master types of big business small

government types who just want their taxes to be as low as possible and all that shit like that they would they couldn't you would think they could not be super on board with all this fucking abject lunacy that's going on with like their chosen party you don't I mean it's like no we want everything to keep running because we want to keep making money we're not trying to fucking tear everything apart but I don't know I don't know where they're at on it Nigel Annette says please don't refer to Canada government at the moment as sane, even though it's a coalition, it's still saying by some as an autocracy. Yeah, you're right. I just met, like, in general, I think parliamentary

systems are a little more effective, even if a little bit more chaotic. I mean, someone made the point that, like, this is kind of what democracy looks like. It's supposed to look a little messy like this, and maybe we're a little too early. But, like, I just like, this is just funny. Ex-Vangelic Carroll says Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, going to get elected and prove it. Yeah. That's what I was saying. It's like on the,

Ron Swanson's character on Parks of Rec was his hardcore libertarian, but he worked for the government, the local government, but his whole thing was like, that's why I just don't do my job. But like these people, this is real life and they seem to have the same general attitude towards it.

I mean, that's why like, we told me Bobbindindez last week. I was like trying to make the point that like it's much worse in Democrats do corruption like this because it like helps Republican cause in two ways. you know, and it decreases faith in government and increases the likelihood they pick up your seat. Yep. Clayton Adamey or Adamee says like and subscribe. Thank you for that. Clayton. Forget every single week.

Smash that like button, guys. Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. I'ller at the Patreon, all that good stuff. Lisa Martin Bradley says Trump sounds like one of those guys on the corner shouting the end is coming. He just seemed to be getting, well, I don't know if I'm going to say more unhinged, because he's always been pretty unhinged. I know we're cherry-picking. This dude spends no telling how many hours. just up there rambling and we get some you know choice quotes from it but some of the shit he's talking about lately it's like bro what and he dials it down for his public appearances like when we put stuff in writing like no one's on true social so no one sees it but like he's full on like Joe Biden is a pedophile eats baby brains level Q and not shit now like it's not even like like Trump if you put in a lot of tetra he might believe that he is president

and he has said Joe Biden to get mo and Joe Biden has been replaced with a clone um i don't know i know we skipped it earlier but there was the thing in the rundown that we didn't have time for about uh r fk junior maybe running as an independent or whatever uh karen stephen says the gop is going to self-immolate to the point that those who left will have to form another party maybe they can revive the wigs you fan the wigs mark how about the no nothings remember the no nothings well trump has essentially picked up the no nothing i mean like i don't mean that as a joke as far as he knows nothing of that's true but like there there were or like, you know, we hate immigrants, America's full party before Trump.

So that's sort of he is or is the no-nothing party. But anyway, the RFK Jr. as an independent thing, I see that and I'm like, oh, fuck, that ain't good. But, like, evidently, they've done some polling that seems to indicate that it's at worst to toss up over who that would actually hurt more, Biden or Trump, if he actually did do that. Yeah, it hurt Trump. Like, the polling seems to show it hurts Trump worse, which makes sense because, like, if you're a single issue anti-vax voter

Biden's the worse than Trump but Trump also created the vaccine and has said nice stuff about vaccines because he wants credit for Operation Warp Speed so it makes sense to me that he would take more votes away from Trump plus like I wanted to talk about the reason I brought up the John Kelly

and Joe Biden's speech earlier is like one of the reasons I'm not super nervous up polling the show is like so-co polls show Trump up a little bit or whatever is the campaign hasn't started and people haven't been paying attention to Trump Once Trump gets out speaking in public, saying the shit about sharks, being eaten by sharks and shit. He's found guilty.

He's complaining about judges. Democrats are kind of campaign ads with his former chief of staff who's a decorated Marine General saying he's a threat to the Republic. Like shit's going to look differently in a year, you know, assuming everything else holds, like Biden's still alive and shit. And I know it hasn't come out that Joe made a sex tape with Hunter and the prostitutes or something. So, yeah. Yeah.

Well, rear lips to the. Fake Lord's ears, buddy. I mean, I agree with you. Don't mean to imply otherwise. But yeah, all right.
