Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews - 1/09/24 – A Most Violent Year?

Episode Date: January 10, 2024

Skewers you may have noticed that stories involving threats of political violence have been trending upward recently, and 2024 is only nine days old. So that’s…less than comforting. Tonight we discuss this and a great many other topics. Join us. Support the show

what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you it's January 9th 2024 that's right I'm Trey that's Mark hey doing this is your first main show of the new year isn't it happy new year to you yeah believe so because uh last week the move uh fucked me but we're on a new place and just uh all all the impact is done except for uh hanging a few pictures and shit so and also with mark look debuting behind him Although I forgot I posted the Patreon episode already, so you guys might have seen it. But yeah, the new wallpaper.

We had to get some feedback on that because, you know, the wallpaper was always a big hit. People have been waiting with bated breath to see what you were going to be working with at the new place there. And I like it. Yeah. What Trey's talking to is we put the Patreon up as a bonus free episode. It should be on all the normal places. You get it because we felt bad about a lack of content over the holidays

and also wanted to give you guys a preview of the kind of shit we talked about over there. As we did, we did regulations or the lack of thereof around the cyber truck, and it was a fun episode. Tonight we're talking about political violence and what to expect in 2024 is like, it spiked during the Trump years and dropped a little bit at the beginning of Joe Biden. It appears to be on the way back up with some crazy shit that's happened in the last few weeks. We're going to talk about that. That's comforting, you know. Yeah. This election year, like perhaps the most anticipated election year in living memory, it's nine days into it. And we've already got, you know, multiple stories revolving around.

the idea of political violence. So, yeah, off to a rollicking good start, 2020. Yeah, let's start with a weird fun story. We're talking about the secret Jewish tunnels in New York. If you guys were on line last night, like you might have seen some videos like this where people were absolutely going crazy. Here's an example of one of the videos that went viral

if you had to play on this one. So you're listening only. It's a Hasidic Jewish man climbing out of what appears to be a storm drain or something on the sidewalk in New York City. It's emerging from a secret tunnel underneath Brooklyn. Is that Brooklyn? Yeah, they're in Crowe Heights, Brooklyn. So you can imagine what the internet would do with secret Jew tunnels. Dude, as soon as I saw it, I mean, I'm sure that was a lot of people's thought, but as soon as I saw this was happening, it was secret Jewish tunnels in New York City.

I was like, oh my God, here we go. Fucking QAnon and then we're going to be all over this, dude. Jews and tunnels. It's the opposite of 9-11 for them. It's like Mega Christmas. So a bunch of people, the original videos got taken down because people in the neighborhood, they were posting this shit, started seeing like, you know, Nazis and QAnon people

being excited about these videos, be like, oh, shit, what have I fucking done? But the reality is really interesting here, and it's more fun than a conspiracy theory is because it's just a fucking stupid petty domestic like intra-s synagogue real estate dispute that's gotten absolutely insane in a really fun way before they found before you let the clue everybody in what was actually happening there were reports that like I think it's funny to think about some of the people in this neighborhood because

some people had said that they like heard Jews in the walls and stuff like like Brooklyn uncles were ever claiming they heard because they're speaking Yiddish and stuff so he's like there's Jews and our floors and whatnot and like you know what his everybody's reaction to to that was you know what I mean it's like classic Tony here we go again with the floors or whatever and then so when this happened you know

that those handful of people were just like I told y'all you can't imagine like you think you're going insane you hear like yit you live on a basement apartment you're hearing people speaking Yiddish below you and you cannot tell anyone because you sound like a fucking lunatic

yeah it'd be very vindicating for those people I would imagine so what happened so a bunch of cops were called to a building in crowd heights last night and the background here is there's been like some litigation like a fight between uh that like the people in the synagogue you got a couple different sects of hardline orthodox jewish people and a real estate battle uh one particular segment of them like there's like the battle's like half to half but also the crazy half has an even crazier faction right but apparently without anybody knowing dug tunnels from another building in the synagogue complex into the main building

to be able to have access to it despite being locked out because the real estate dispute. But it's wild to love church that much. Like I got to give it up to them in terms of, you know, them and their God and their relationship to it or whatever

because like if you dig in secret illegal tunnels just to get into church or whatever, that's some serious dedication. Dude, those seeds are wild. man so uh so this group okay this this building's it's a it's a headquarters the chabad movement all right it's like a big historic building people come worldwide to visit this place all right um a bunch so uh it's at 70 770 uh forget i forget sorry i forgot this place this the street it's on it's a former home

of the late rabbi joseph yichak schneerson who's the six the you butcher libiture rabbi is a non-in-lawish. So the mainline faction discovered these tunnels, which was also built unbeknownst to the huge chunks of the other faction, all right?

And the other faction is a part of the Chabad Lubbivich movement. They're Shabad Messianism is their cause. They believe that a rabbi named Minichim Mendel Schneerson

which was the seventh libiture rabbi is the messiah he's also still physically alive even though he's dead all right so wait what i didn't know that i knew that like has seed i knew that they're like the fundamentalist of the jews and whatnot but like they had like a messiah like a living person who they believe is the messiah and whatnot because that's like a level of uh crazy that i didn't realize they were wrong there there are there are messiani jews who believe jesus was the messiah i'm not quite sure how they wrapped their head around their faith that a friend who was one or was raised one and ever asked him to explain himself to me it just wasn't but

like yes there's just like there's like 400 varieties of evangelical there's like a bunch like this right and when the tunnel was discovered people were like well maybe they built during COVID because like like you know Husseeds and Orthodox Jewish people like a lot of like like you know

religious sex didn't like COVID protocols and were determined to still go to service because they thought God to protect them like snake handlers you know whatever I think Drew's Parents Church was like that. That was a pretty widespread position amongst the holy. Yeah.

So it turns that it wasn't during COVID. It was about six months ago, a bunch of a group of Yeshiva students who flew in from Israel, dug this tunnel. And then when the mainline people found out about it, they hired some structural engineers to inspecting. Like, yes, this tunnel is going to make the fucking building collapse. Yeah, imagine that. I mean, yeah, I think that all that stuff is pretty important. All that ground and shit underneath your building. building. I'm not want to take that out. I don't want to leave that in. Seems like it might be

an important part. Yeah. So the mainline people that actually own the control of access to the building reported into the city and the cops came like, yeah, you can't have this. They're going to fill in with concrete. So the Israelis who flew in sat in the hole and refused to leave the hole to let it be filled with concrete. And so the cops were like dragging them out. They arrested 10 people. This is just the most insane New York thing to ever happen. I want to watch, when you watch this like Gumba cop argue with these. Jewish people about how they need to leave the shul. Do they know?

No, no. Because it was a guy that to go out? They know. They know. It's not. I know already. I want to clear the whole shoe out. Oh, too.

I want to clear the whole shoe. I want to fix this tonight. They need a shoe clear. And to why you need to explain. It's money, okay? But I had to go to like, I had to go to Jewish publications to explain this to me because mainland, like, it'd be like, like, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, Somebody told me about a dispute in like an evangelical church where the pastor's wife was asking forgiveness for a husband and yada, yada, yada.

People leave him at church. You'd be like, oh, the pastor fuck somebody's wife. Right. Okay, I got, I can decipher this in four seconds. So I had to go to a Jewish writer to explain this. Anyway, there's no, it's no QAnon tunnels. It's a real estate dispute. And Jewish people love to argue.

And I'm quoting the Jewish writer saying that. So don't get bad to be. But while we're on subject to conspiracy theories, some more Epstein stuff has come out. And people are running with it. in all the wrong ways. And it's like sort of like diminutizing the victims and all this. They're sort of being left behind, like as being used as political footballs. So some part of the documents that came out include the testimony of a woman

named Sarah Ransom, okay, who was retracted her own testimony, just in the court filings. And people are acting like it's true to run with it because it hits Clinton and Trump over the head along with like Richard Branson and Prince Andrew. Now, Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein have been accused of actual rape. But Sarah Ransom, according to her, because she was afraid of Epstein, she said she made all these allegations which are unfounded to make him think she had videotapes so that if she died or anything happened to her, the tapes will come out. She was trying to pretend to have a dead man switch.

All right? Now, people were tracked allegations for reasons both true and false. I don't know the truth of it. Neither does anyone else that set of Sarah Ransom and whoever victimized her. All right. That being said, the way people are running with this, Like, the New York Post ran with this stuff like it was still considered true and just left Trump out of it. Right.

If you want to know how gross this looks for people, to people who, you know, how it looks to us when they do that shit. Let's just think about it. Anyway, some stuff did come out related to Trump in it. Late this afternoon, people decipher the documents. I think he's a guy named John Doe 174. He's not accused of any sort of sexual dealings in it. Just mainly he's a guy who was always around Jeff Repstein. Right.

But isn't that also that's similar to the level that Bill Clinton is at in these or is that not accurate? Like they're both like like same thing in these documents so far at least he's not, neither of them are like, you know, full on accused of any kind of, you know, deviant impropriety or whatever. But they're around a lot and seem to like the guy. And that's true for both of them, right? Because like, because it's just, you know, everybody I see talking about it super loves Trump and they either just don't mention. that he was in it all or they just straight up say like that he was exonerated or cleared for his involvement but bill clinton is the devil as far as all this goes there's going hard after clinton and i'm not defending bill clinton but they're going hard after clinton and just ignoring all

the trump parts of it or downright like misrepresenting them and i don't know why i'm surprised by that it's very much part of the course for them but it's just the whole thing is weird yeah it's like i like look if you want to me it's pretty indicted more morally, if not criminally, that after Jeffrey Epstein was publicly convicted of child sex abuse, all these people kept hanging out with him, right? But that's not evidence of anything other than being a shithead and a coward, right? But all these insinuations, like, you know what I'm talking about where Aaron Rogers went up to the last week or so for a second? I mean, always, yes. I mean, as it relates to this, because I know that he claimed Jimmy Kimmel was going to be in it. And that, you know, Jimmy Kimmel fired back as anyone would, because that's not true. And, and. But what else has he done? I know that he also said that the New York Jets need to, like, just focus on football or something in the coming season after the season they just had. He said all that. And he was like, anyway, back to how Jimmy Kimmel is a petter ass and it's a worldwide conspiracy or whatnot.

But, yeah. Yeah. So one of the ESPN show he guests on for an hour a week. And, like, he said the thing we need to get back to football. Then it's been an hour today talking about Dr. Fauci on ESPN, as you do on ESPN, just talk about Dr. Fauci. And so to back up, Rogers is pissed off that Jimmy Kimmel has been making fun of him for a couple years.

All right? So he goes on Pat McAfee's show on ESPN and says a bunch of shit about Epstein flight logs. Jimmy Kimmel does a bit about that in his late night show. So then Rogers goes back on Pat McAfee and says that Jimmy's Kimmel is just scared the flight logs are going to come out. Then Jimmy Kimmel gets a bunch of death threats from QAnon types. his family, his wife, his kids.

Why would you think Jimmy Kimmel's a pedophile and then death threats and death threats to his kids? I don't know. So then Kimball threatens to sue Rogers and Rogers does the I was just joking thing, which I kind of know how doctors feel now when you're listening to Rogers talk about medicine because I don't know anything about medicine, but I do know about jokes. Right. And you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

A joke has untruth in it, but a lie does not automatically become a joke. Right. Yeah. It's like, that's why April Fool's Day drives me fucking crazy. Telling somebody a lie is not a joke. Yeah. I don't think I know any comedian who like likes April Fool's Day, actually. And that's the reason.

It's just like, I'm pregnant. Nah, I gotcha. Yeah, it's not a joke. I guess he qualified as a prank. Maybe April Fool's Day is more of a prank thing. But yeah, a lie does not a joke make. I agree with you. You can't just accuse someone of being a pedophile and then be like, you know,

Jack Hey, bro. I mean, I guess you can. That's what he did. But there's other layers to it. There's other steps in there that we can argue that Rogers wasn't actually insinuating Jimmy Kimmel's a pedophile, but like you have a national audience full of like psychopathic conspiracy theorists who immediately when you said that started using like using Photoshop to put Jimmy Kimmel in the Epstein flight locks and it bounced around the internet. No one knows it's fake now. So like I don't know how to, apparently every public figure is decided they have no right to be responsible with their platform. And that's where we're at in 2024, whatever fucking here it is. yeah all right that checks out well let's talk about where else we're at in 2024 as we mentioned already

could get violent so that's fun and not at all disconcerting we'll talk about that recent trend and what it portends a little lighter but uh well before this before we continue uh i need to tell you of course a few things number one if you like to see me do stand up live you should go to traycrouter dot com come and see me uh got charlottesville coming up and then um florida after that Missouri It's going to be fun. So, yeah, we'll see you out there. Also, you can find me and Corey's book on the website, Trey Crowder.com.

Before we get to all the violence talk a little later, let's first begin with the Daily Dumbass, Matt, graphic, please.

Tonight's D.D. Me, for getting this now worthless physics degree from Trump U like an idiot. So hear Trump talk science. You know, that's going to be good. Which is going to start in just a second. It even with now. We're going to speak Trump talking about science. It's going to be great.

A billion dollar cost overrun on the magazine. You had it. I'm trying to restart it. I need this to work. I did this work because it's funny. Now, hang on. We've got to get Matt, make the goddamn video work. Come on.

Think about Einstein clown. posse while you'll watch this. It didn't work. Y'all may not get that. They had an almost billion dollar cost overrun on the magnetic elevators. Think of it. Magnets. Now, all I know about magnets is this. Give me a glass of water. Let me drop it on the

magnets. That's the end of the magnets. Why didn't they use John Deere? Why didn't they bring into John Deer people? Do you like John Deer? I like John Deer. So un-aned. They had almost Viettee. Insane Crown Posse very famously doesn't know how magnets work. Magnets.

How does that shit work? And it's funny me to think that either, like, one of the insane clout, like Violent Jay, saw this clip on Twitter and did, like, the Leo pointing meme, you know what I mean? It's like, I don't know, I don't know how they feel about Trump. It's fun if they heard this and they're like, oh, that's how magnets work. That's also funny to me. They could be deactivated with water, I guess, which of course is not true. I'm a science idiot. I was like, wait, the magnetist not work underwater.

So I googled it. And they absolutely do work underwater. Yeah. And like, you got to like, Trump has all these weird. It's not just the windmills. He has lots of weird hang-up. So what he's actually referring to there, I think, was when he was president, there was a plan to refit all the aircraft carriers with the elevators.

He used to bring the planes up to deck. He was going to go from a hydraulic system to a magnet-based system. And he hated that for whatever reason. It made his life's mission to get rid of the fucking magnets. All right. Yeah. I mean, magnets are weird, you know, like to be fair. It's funny.

Like, it's funny to think that there's people out there that are just like confounded, but also made angry by their confusion about magnets. You know what I mean? You know, a lot of things they don't understand upset them and piss them off. And it's funny that magnets is on that list for Trump. He's just like, this is bullshit. You turn it one way, they stick together, you turn the other way, they push apart. What is this?

This doesn't make a goddamn sense. No, I don't, they don't hit. They're like, yeah, like, my understanding of magnets is basically the same as in St. Clairontocis. So, some things Trump has said. Over the last couple weeks, just we're doing a roundup. He posted a Christmas message and told everyone to rot in hell. A rally a couple days ago, he made fun of Joe Biden stutter. If heard of Democratic voters, that's quote, bags of crap.

The J6 hostages, he said nobody's ever been treated ever in history as badly as those people. He reposted a thing on January 6th on True Social to call January 6th Entrapment Day, which is like, so they're lying on January 6th is still January 6 was great, but we didn't do it. Regarding a school shooting in Iowa, Trump himself said it's horrible, but we have to get over it. She way. This is like the day after a school shooting. I know, yeah. I mean, it had to be the shooting itself was just like a couple of days, you know, not even after. Right.

So, yeah. Right. Not long after it. But there's still no motive known for that shooting as far as I could find. But the Wright still did their thing where they pretended this person was trans and went viral with it. So there's no evidence of that. Every single time now. It's like it happens sort of once.

or whatever. And then now it's just any new mass shooting that just go straight to the trans thing. But yeah, no, he's really been on one. I did the rotten hell, Merry Christmas, everybody message was pretty funny to me. It's just such an insane thing for, you know, anyone to do, especially, you know, a former president and would be a second term. But to be completely fair to Trump, you know, he's, you got in here, he referred to Democratic voters as bags of crap. I mean, I'm not not a bag of shit, you know what I mean? Like, I've often referred to myself as a big old bag of shit. So, I mean, you know, I don't take that one too personally. But the, and then he called the January 6th people who've been arrested and put in jail for it hostages and said that no one in history has ever been treated as badly as those people, which is like you could pick literally any region in any era of human history and find so many.

people who were treated far worse than that, not just like slaves and stuff, but like, dude, you like stole the tomato and got put in the stocks in the town square for, for two weeks. They got flawless, you know, throw a dart on any native reservation throughout the entire history of the United States. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Like, okay, some other things he's done a few days. By the way, that, they're being hostages, that's become like a line, at least Stephanic, you know, congresswoman went on meet the press this weekend and told them political hostages with no pushback from the moderator it's like they committed serious violent crimes right in front of everybody on video wow that's what I'm saying like the whole world saw them do it and yeah and

they've been punished for doing what they did in front of the whole world and you call it like political prisoners or hostages whatever it's just the gas lighting is insane and it like works you know on some like like you said the moderate i didn't see that but the moderator just let it slide and didn't say anything you know what i mean they do that type of shit all the time and it drives me crazy yeah um in illinois apparently there's like a deck there's a pledge the illinois has candidate signed pledging not to overthrow the government he refused to sign it uh he said in response to niki haley bunglinger civil war shit he said that lincoln fucked up by having the civil war instead of negotiating which like right the negotiating would mean the terms

keeping slavery. Yeah, it's just like we talked about, like, how he would have handled Ukraine like that. What he means is I would have given Ukraine to Russia immediately or whatever. You know, same thing. I'm sure it would be in Gaza too right now. But that pledge, you reminded me something you said in Illinois, they've had a pledge for decades for any presidential candidate sign that says, I will not overthrow the U.S. government. When I was a senior in high school and a public school in Clay County, they let this preacher come in there and hand out these, like,

morality pledges to the entire senior class because we're going to be leaving and going to college after that insane, right? But even at the time I knew it, but it was this morality pledge you're supposed to sign your name to and stuff that says you will not engage in any premarital sex or drug use or underage drinking or any of this stuff. And I refused to sign it. Do you know why? Because I was totally going to do all that shit.

Right. You could just sign it. Just sign the place. Yeah. I was like, I wasn't going to, you know, like I knew I was going to do that shit. So, you know, it feels like that feels like there's an implication here. It's like the easiest pledge in the world to say, like, you know, asking a president to not overthrow the government is a little different, though, than asking an 18 year old not to do drugs

and pork in college. You know what I'm saying? Right. One of them is totally expected. The other one shouldn't even be on the table ever. But here we are. When I, uh, so when I, my 20s, I was one of those marriages. you know marriage is just a piece of paper people there's no reason we need to do this baby kind of

dudes right and then i realized how full of shit i was like it was just a piece of paper and then just fucking sign it right right so uh anyway back to lincoln he said that basically the same way that lincoln won the civil war because he wanted to be more famous and he said like if you didn't have the civil war you never would have heard of abraham lincoln which i bet if he negotiated the continuing existence of slavery he'd be in a history book yeah um it's also just a dumb down version of the lost cause myth where it treats the civil war like it's a tragedy of white people not being able to get along or something right it's fucking weird um he also this is just so dumb like remember how back how he thought stealth planes were literally invisible yeah yeah do that do that remember

keep that in your head while you watch this video you got this man world we want to protect our country and you know those domes they're starting to work i didn't like it when ronald Reagan suggested it because we didn't have the technology. We do have the technology now. And we're going to build a giant dome over our country to protect us from a hostile source. And I think it's a great thing. And it's going to all be made in the United States. And that's something that I consider productive.

He's heard of Israel's Iron Dome. Right. And he thinks it's like, and in his mind, it's like in the Simpsons movie with Mr. Burns, right, blood out of the sun. Exactly. Yeah. Like a little dome. Yeah.

Yeah, this is like, in context, this is like the craziest one. He went on, I guess, like, fucking Lou Dobbs does a YouTube show now or some shit. He went on there yesterday and said he wants a great depression, which is like, listen to this. When there's a crash, I hope it's going to be during this next 12 months because I don't want to be Herbert Hoover. The one president, I just don't want to be Herbert Hoover. I don't want anybody be Hoover I don't want to watch people to starve to death and shit

Yeah that's the that's the thing The difference And I mean I don't know I guess if you're like Trying to read this as generously as possible Maybe it's him being like We all know it's coming And I just hope that if it's coming

It's come but that's still very selfish And whatnot him But they like they want They want bad things to happen When like a Democrat is president Or Democrats have power or whatnot Like they love that shit they eat it up like they feed off of that and i what people can call bullshit on this whatever

if they want to but like i at least genuinely do not feel that what like i remember when trump got elected the first time i was like i know this is going to be awful i know it is but you know like i hope it's not like i hope right he actually tries to do a good job you know why because i live in this fucking country and so does my family and everybody that i care about so like it's just I don't know it's just so you're not being you're not being inspirational like you remember when Mitch McConnell said on TV when Obama was elected our number one goal is to make Obama one term president like not to improve the lives of Americans or serve our constituents right but like this is like it's a crazy statement to make where you're supposedly pinning your

presidential candidacy on delivering economic relief to voters you know instead you're wishing financial ruin on them but to come sooner when he won't take the blame for it yeah but you know in his mind it's like, well, you know, if I'm going to, if my big pledge of them is I'm going to fix the economy, I really need the economy to be totally fucking broken first. You know what I mean? That'll really make it carry more water in his mind. Yeah. It's like, it, going back to like, Republicans always wishing everything gets worse under Democratic presidents. Like, do you remember a couple weeks ago, like after October 7th, when a car crash in the Canadian border and conservatives were like full of clea with the idea there might have been a terrorist attack

but it turned out just some dude's accelerator got stuck or something? Right. it's like they wanted it to be a terrorist attack so we'd all be afraid it's like what the fuck um it's just it's just absolutely insane i can't believe even go on tv and tell everybody i want to be your lives worse and by the way the economy isn't that just the stock market or charts on the board it's like for every percentage point unemployment goes up thousands of people kill themselves right it's like it's a tragedy when the economy collapses people lose their family homes and shit so like fuck this fuck you fuck it's like uh like like i like i like i I hate the cynical dickbag is still the center of American politics and he will be until he dies, I feel like. Yeah, without a doubt. And it's just, and also he just like, I feel like he's already, you know, having a pretty good run considering his lifestyle and everything about him. You know what I mean? In terms of like whatever his expiration date is, like he's already doing better than you would have thought, I think. I mean, I guess he's got a lot of money and whatnot, but still, yeah, we might be in for a while yet.

when you got COVID they pulled out like experimental shit that didn't even trattle monkeys yet to keep them alive and I'm like you had the you just like just don't get to somebody like does anybody have any out of it out of the box ideas? No bad ideas here.

All you'd be was like, nope, I got none. Just like let it happen. Just like, oh shit. All right. We got another honorable mention. This was kind of on theme for the show tonight talking about political violence. This next one is seal team six

for not taking enough classes at Harvard law to know whether or not they can murder Americans. Listen to this. This is wild. The president ordered seal team six to assassinate a political rival? That's an official act in order to seal team six. He would have to be and would speedily be, you know, impeached and convicted before the criminal prosecution.

But if you weren't, there would be no criminal prosecution, no criminal liability for that. Chief Justice's opinion in murder, we're against Madison and our constitution, and the plain language of the impeachment judgment clause all clearly presupposed that what the founders were concerned about was not. I asked you a yes or no question. Could a president who ordered Sealed Team Six to assassinate a political rival who was not impeached? Would he be subject to criminal prosecution? If he were impeached and convicted first. So your answer is no. My answer is

qualified, yes. Could a president order Sealed Six to a six? So this immunity hearing in D.C. like a three-judge panel, they peeled, like, basically Trump's the lawyers are arguing can't be tried in, like, January 6 cases, because he has absolute immunity for anything he does as president. Yeah, any official act as president he has immunity for or whatever, which is, of course, patently ridiculous. But like, even with this, like, so this lawyer is saying, like, we're not saying there's no accountability. What the accountability is is, it's like the impeachment process. He has to be impeached and convicted, but he can't be like, you know, subject to the regular justice system any other American would be. He's got to be impeached and convicted, even if he assassinated someone. But it's like, then he could just assassinate anybody that's going to vote to impeach him or whatever.

You know what I mean? He could just keep on assassinate until there's no danger of being impeached left. And also, I remember I saw some, I saw it get pointed out and seeing in today, this is not that this matters to Trump at all, but this is the exact opposite of what the Republicans in Congress said when he was impeached the second time. Mitch McConnell went up there and said, who's like, this is not our power. view as Congress to handle this. We have a justice system and they are who needs to handle this. So they're both just like, you know, it's all just talking in circles. Trump's lawyers at a second impeachment made that case that like the criminal justice system is the place to solve this. He don't need to do a second impeachment. He's leaving office anyway in a couple

days. Yada, yada, yada. So like, but so that what you raise was he could just assassinate his way out of it by keep killing people before they can impeach him, right? That's the, that's the first follow up question of which this judge had asked. The third one will be, would be, would be, would Do you think Joe Biden could be tried for having Donald Trump killed? Right. Because you're arguing not. Right. Yeah, exactly.

You're arguing that Biden has immunity right now, right? Presidential immunity, which means he could do that to you. And I don't know how you don't ask that question because it seems like such a, because you know he's like, you know he doesn't think that that Joe Biden should have. Also, Joe Biden could do what he says that he did and actually steal an election if he needs to, right? Like what Trump is being charged with trying to do. and he's saying, well, no, I'm immune for many kind of charges with that because it was an official act as president. That's him arguing that Joe Biden could, if he wanted to, steal an election, if he wanted to and needed to, right?

But you know, none of that actually applies in their head somehow. All this shit only applies to him in this moment and certainly not to a Democrat or Joe Biden. It doesn't even like in the same speech, Trump will say he has absolute immunity to do whatever he wants because he was a president and he can never be tried and also promised to try and lock up. Joe Biden. Right. So like, there's no, but like that lawyer, by the way, his name is John Sauer. He's a former Solicitor General for Missouri. And I guess he got hooked up with Trump was in that role. He, he was one of the solicitor generals who signed a appeal to the Supreme Court to try to overturn the elections. I guess that's why he's on Trump's side right there. But you can sort of hear like, like appellate law fuckery that drives me insane. He's like, they're talking about whether or not the president, like,

what if the president strangled the first lady in the White House? on camera right it's like you're like well can't nothing you do but like he's like well you didn't marbury versus Madison it's like shut the fuck up of a marbury versus Madison right we're trying to like a country work here and you're like trying to like figure out if a president is the right to commit murder and like my thing is like why wouldn't joe biden like it's it's it's really funny to me that trump's turned to argue that he should be a god king when a reality he's arguing to make joe biden a god king and joe biden has the assassins right now he's got the ones making the phone calls.

So, I don't know, like, you wouldn't really test the limits of this? Joe Biden should take a gun to the first debate and just pull it out and shoot Donald Trump in the head. Yeah, wouldn't I hit, you know? All right, well, let's keep this violent ball of rolling. Yeah, and talk about some other stories in that category. I know, and this one's actually from 2020,

but just came out today, right, or recently. Right. It involves Roger Stone, the infamous Roger Stone, who doesn't seem like, you know, an evil piece of work at all. The story, yeah, the story's from 2020, but sort of about how we got here. So, media, I got audio of Roger Stone talking to a guy on his personal security detail, who happened to be a cop, a cop, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, NYPD officer, yeah, not just a guy. He was moonlighting its security. And there was soft pitching the idea of assassinating a congressman Eric Swalwell, a,

Congressman Eric Swalwell and Jerry Nadler, who were on a committee that was going to investigate Roger Stone's sentence being commuted by Trump, all right? And he's like, it's time to do it. Stone told Greco, the cops named Greco. Let's go find Swalwell. It's time to do it. They will sell brave the rest of the mar. It's time to do it. It's either Nadler or Swalwell has to die before the election. They need to get the message. Let's go find Swalwell and get this over with. I'm just not putting up with this shit anymore. We're talking about hearings into how Roger Stone got free. with no risk he'd get going back to prison. All right.

He's going to kill people over that. This is because they're on the House Judiciary Committee. You need a reminder, Stone was convicted of obstruction, witness tampering, and lying to Congress in the Mueller probe. Prosecutors sought a nine-year sentence, but Trump's Justice Department intervened to impose a less severe sentence. Anyway, he didn't serve it at all. Yeah.

He got pardoned, right? Or the equivalent by Trump? Commutation, yeah. Yeah, since I got commuted. But yeah, no, there's also, there was another old clip from him. I think even that guy who followed him around a documentarian or whatever, I think it came out in the J6 hearings where he's like, he's talking to some proud boy or something.

And he's like, I don't even care about the vote. Remember the vote they're going to have in Pence and certification and all that? And he's like, fuck this vote. Let's just get straight to the violence. That's what we need to do. When he starts cracking heads and smashing pumpkins or some shit like that, and this absolute lunatic who's with him is like, hell yeah, that's what I'm saying.

But then didn't he also get the hell out of Dodge, though, when shit started going down, I think. Yeah, he ran away. He called, like, Jared Kushner and threatened and kick his ass because he hadn't got, like, he hadn't yet been pardoned. This is before he, since got commuted. No, he wanted preempted pardons. Sorry, he went preempted pardons for January 6th. He was upset. He wasn't going to get one.

But anyway, it doesn't matter. He hasn't been charged. It was part of my point with this, like, you're not allowed to threaten the lives of congressmen. That's a criminal offense. I just out there walking around. Nobody's doing shit about it. And when the Justice Department intervened to make sure he didn't go to prison or got a lesser sentence, a guy who worked on the case named Aaron Zelensky

recused himself in protest. And Stone also went to Greco and said that Zelensky need to be punished just for quitting his job. He needs to be punished. You have to abduct him and punish him. That has to be done. It will be easy to abduct him because he's a weakling. All right. By the way, when this came out, Stone says,

used AI to make these, these are deep fakes. Greco, on the other hand, didn't deny it. He said, I don't think your reader is interested in an ancient political fighter. I'm interested in it. I want to know why nobody's doing all these death threats is getting any fucking trouble. Greco got fired, by the way, eventually. Also, Trump is using AI to claim he was never on Epstein's plane. He's claiming all the flight logs and testimony and stuff was generated.

So it would be funny if Trump's president again, the one good thing we get is tight AI protections because he's lying. Yeah, because he has such a vested interest in it. Yeah, I guess that would be something. But it's like, you knew this shit was coming as soon as, you know, that all started with AI and stuff. It's like, they already claim fake news and everything. And now that this technology exists and people are aware of it, it's what, you know, it's going to be the go-to every time it's going to be the new I was hacked. My Twitter account was hacked or whatever. You know, I was deep faked.

Yeah. So over the weekend at one of his rallies in Iowa, Trump talked about, he told us. followers once they go in the voting booth, refuse to leave and not let anyone else vote. So this morning, he was asked to, like, yeah, I'll just show you this clip. After his fucking hearing, you know, the three-judge panel, he was at the little improv two press conference, and this is, he was asked this. Thank you very much. Mr. President, you just use the word bedloom.

Will you tell your supporters now, no matter what, no violence? Nope, he gone. Never even looked over his shoulder. Never. And so Joe Biden gave a big speech about January 6th on the day before the anniversary on Friday. It was a pretty good speech. He finally named check Trump and call him a threat, called him a loser, which will get under his skin. I'm not sure why the news dumped it on a Friday afternoon.

I know January 6 was actually Saturday. I guess they didn't have any good choices. But so a thing to know is that January 6th, what grossed out the majority of Americans, it really fired up Trump's base. like in ways that are pretty crazy like it's sort of like let me quote here from a political scientist at the university of chicago the country is a tender box more and more of the public is becoming more radicalized and going to be more supportive of political violence in general and this effect was likely encouraged by january 6th i'll tell you that to tell you this uh special council jack smith was targeted by a swatting on christmas day um someone called 9-1-1 and said

that smith had shot his wife at his house uh Montgomery county police sent cops to his house were called off. And the deputy U.S. marshals who were already there protecting Smith told, told the police that it was a false alarm and everyone in the house was safe. Yeah. Like, I was thinking he had to be, you know, when I was first reading through this story before I got to the end with the part you just said, I was like, he surely has some kind of protection. Because I, with him, dude, he's got to be getting death threats and shit incessantly, I would imagine.

Right. Yeah. And, like, so. what happens if he didn't have protection you know like somebody like at this point if you're a public figure you need to pre-call the police and tell them what happens like that you need to double check it's not a swatting when you get a 911 one call saying

if you guys don't know what swatting is it's this like I hate to use the word prank but like psychos will use masking technology to make it look like a 911 call is coming from your house and say that like I'm going to kill my wife and I'm going to shoot it out with you and so they send a SWAT team and the hope is that the SWAT team shows up and does cop shit

and just kills everybody there without asking any questions. Right. Which I'm not sure why it doesn't hurt cops' feelings that people think this is a good plan. Right. I know. I mean, that's what I was thinking.

I was like, I bet in most other countries, I don't know about most other countries. Some of them basically have fucking, you know, but I bet in a lot of other countries, this wouldn't even be an effective strategy, I would think, because I doubt they're all as fucking gung-ho, rambo shit as every single.

the one of our cops seems to be. You know what I mean? Like, just because you get a report of some bad shit going down, you need to, yeah, go check it out for sure. But you don't have to, like, roll out the whole SWAT team and the Bering Ram and smoke grenades and fucking flashbangs and shit and baby cribs and stuff. Like, not every time necessarily.

But that's just the minute. It's sort of, but it goes back to like a big meta take. It's not my original one, but like that everything is Gamergate now. If you remember GamerGade, it was like this whole thing where like this video games journalists got accused of trading sexual favors for whatever, an online harassment campaign managed to chase her out of her house, get her fire from all of her jobs, and forced her retreat from public life. And that has since it became a playbook that all those Reddit assholes you also use to help

get Trump elected. And it just never stops working. And Jack Smith wasn't the only person, the victim of this lately. Tanya Chuchkin, who's the judge overseeing the January 6th case, she was also a victim of swatting. someone called 911 and said there was a shooting at her house. Yeah, and so in the other side, Marjor and Taylor Green also got swatted on Christmas. Yeah, we talked about her recently.

She's been swatted a bunch, right? Eight times, at least eight times. She's been swatted. Now, my assumption here is this is still some right winger who has some grievance with her over how the speaker fight happened or something, but I don't know. she's beefs with so many people I guess it's theoretically she's usually an all right computer nerds

that do this but I suppose someone else could have done it either way everybody cut it out like her kids are there and shit you know what I'm saying um so what's funny about this is like you ever seen the raid the Indonesia action movie? That's a great movie right?

That's a cute ass movie but yeah yeah one of the best guy kills like 40 people in the hallway with a hammer fucking badass yeah the plot of that movie is a police SWAT unit discovers that their warrant was fake, and they've been set up and exploited as assassins by a third party with a hit list. That's the plot of a whole action revenge movie.

And America, it's just a prank. It's like a standard tactic. Yeah, right. Yeah. So, you know, we've talked about where the three percenters called themselves three percenters because this myth, only three percent of Americans participated in the American Revolution, and that's enough to overthrow

a government, right? I read of researchers say recently, it's closer to like 15 percent, and that was what she'd, what she figured out from researching Iraq and all the interest sending civil wars and shit there. But either way, it's not a lot. It doesn't have to be a majority.

It's the fact that the majority people are still basically saying does not mean that a bunch of bad happen. And help us if boomers figure out swatting, if they start called in fucking raids from their landlines, we are fucked. And the weird thing about this, and I wanted to talk about green for a second, because, like, the main victims of these threats are Republicans to a large degree.

Right, because the way, I just wouldn't apply to Marjorie Taylor Green, but like, because the, like, for Liz Cheney type reasons, or Adam Kinzinger type reasons, like fucking walk the line, get in line type of shit. You know, like the Republican Secretary of State in Georgia. Right. You're certified the election for Biden. Yeah, right. Like, here's a piece I read to the day of, like, from Vox last week, how death threats gave Republicans to fall. line behind Trump. Like, it starts off, Todd, and this guy gives an in-depth interview.

We got him Stephen Reacher, who's an election official in Maricopa County, Arizona, and was like, he's a normal for a Republican, all right? He's just like an election official who, like, counted the votes and Biden won. And he basically can't go in public anymore. He definitely can't go. He kept going to Republican meetings waiting for the fever to break. And people would, like, grab him and try to wrench his arm out of his sockets and chase him in his car and beat on their windows and shit.

Yeah. I saw just today, who's that guy? We talked about him at one point along the way. That guy was like hardcore Trump devotee, big magad dude who was at January 6th. And they determined he was like these, they being these people that were talking about, the like the crazy crazies determined he was like the, the fed behind the whole thing that started it all. Remember that? And they like-R-EPS.

Yeah, Ray-ups, yes. He and his wife had to, like, fucking sell their house and buy an RV and just live in parts unknown or shit like that because they were being harassed of all the time. Anyway, I saw today it was trending again on Twitter. They were talking about how that dude's a fed and they were just, you know,

going after him hardcore because, you know, they think that the people that were punished for January 6th are hostages and it's cruel and inhumane and no one's ever been treated worse. But when his punishment, was not as excessive as they thought it should be, that confirmed to them that he was, you know, a G-man or whatever. So it makes sense if you don't think about it. And this story is like this stat that 83% of Americans are not concerned

about the risk of political violence in their country. Well, I'm glad, I mean, that's good. I'm glad people are paying the attention. Although if 83% of people are concerned, does that mean concerned there's not enough? Because I'm not sure where the actual assholes are in this. And this woman is an expert named Rachel Clenfield, an expert in political violence

to the Carnegie Endowment for a National Peace says if violence and threats against elected leaders are suppressing the emergence of a pro-democracy faction of the GOP. Yeah.

Absent threats or might have been a move inside the party to stop Trump, maybe a better more effective primary. Here's a quote from Kim Ward, who's a Trump supporting a Republican leader

of the Pennsylvania State Senate and what would happen if she spoke out against the former president while I'd get my house bomb tonight. So she's like, I support Trump, But also I would, even if I didn't want to, because he blew up my house. Yeah.

And we remember when Mitt Romney retired, he talked about how a lot of people in Congress were crying before they voted against impeachment because they just had to do it because they're family who's murdered. Yeah. It's crazy, man. It's crazy. And it's that, I mean, you think it's just like, and I think for a lot of them it is also. We talked before about how they know they can't. They have to try to placate the maggots and whatnot because they won't have the votes otherwise and that type of thing, even if they are. somewhat sane. So it's like that, but it's not just that. It's also this.

They're like genuinely afraid of them. Right. Which is pretty crazy. Greg Pence announced he's retiring from Congress. Mike Pence's older brother took over his seat in Congress. And funny about that is on January 6th, after it was over, Greg Pence still decided to vote against certifying the election. So Greg Pence had the Sophie's choice between his children's lives or his brother getting hanged. and he chose his children, which most people probably do. Yeah. But it's like... Especially his brother is Mike Pence, am I right?

Right. Yeah, fuck it. Yeah. You probably don't hit for that guy either. Some numbers here. In 2016, the Capitol Police recorded fewer than 900 threats against members of Congress. Nine hundred are still too many, but that's 2016, all right? In 2017, they figured more than quadrupled.

So the first year of Trump's presidency, threats against members of Congress, recorded by Capital Peace quadrupled. They continue to increase every year of Trump presidency, peaking in 9700 and 22. 2021, again, that's almost 11 times what it was in 2016. 2022, Biden's first year, a full year. The numbers went down to a still high, 7,500. So lower than Trump's last year, but still nine times as many as Trump's, the year before

Trump was elected. And everyone's best guess is it went back up in 2023 because the fights over the Speaker of the House was going on to Israel and Trump's arrests. There's just not data yet. And I imagine it's going to be worse this year. Yeah, during the Speaker of the House thing, who was, one of them, his wife got threatened. One of the Republican guys' wives got threatened because he wasn't getting in line with the McCarthy stuff. Or was, I don't remember exactly the, or he wasn't back in Jim George, something like that. But yeah. So, yeah, I mean, these stories, you know, pop up every now and then

along the way, but there's so many more that we just never hear about. But it's like ever present on the American right, evidently. We've been. sort of spared high-profile assassinations. I don't know whether it's just because all these people are keyboard warriors. That's what I always used to tell. For a long time, that's what I told myself. It's like, oh, they're fucking, they're full of shit. They ain't going to actually do nothing.

But then, you know, like, I mean, for me, at least, ever since, like, January 6th in particular, it's been like, okay, well, I mean, I guess they might do something. And I definitely take it more seriously now than I used to. Yeah, it's like, it's interesting to me because it's not like Americans aren't violent. Is it that we don't know how to find Congress people? something but like first of all i do want to say like look it sucks to get death threats but you ask for this job and you also vote to send young americans to war so like i don't know how you can ask like a 19 year old marine to go die for his country but you're like i guess i got to let trump be a dictator because i don't want to get a shot you know what i'm saying like sorry man

sometimes do sometimes duty calls i don't know what to fucking tell you right it's like some sort of tired of the cowardice even though if i can kind of understand it because i don't want to fucking get death threats either. But like, it's just very weird to me, but it's not just like politicians are subject to this shit. Like regular people are killing each other over politics. It's not just the people rammed in a protest with their cars. This is a story from August about how political violence was already like kind of con-closed to its worst since the 1970s, which is not a one-to-one comparison, which we'll get to in a second. Because in the 70s was left-wing violence and therefore less violent. We'll get to what I mean about that in a second. But the lead of the story, this woman

called 911, next door neighbor shot her husband in the head and just because he thought the guy was a Democrat. Right. Like, I don't know why he thought that. The story doesn't say. He might have been.

Maybe he wasn't. Maybe he didn't vote. I don't know. But, like, he didn't need to be shot in his head for his political beliefs. And that killing was among 213 cases of political violence identified by Reuters since January 16th.

That number seems really low to me. This couldn't count them all. um when i get going back to the comparison with the 70s that was property damage for the most part right like blowing up uh a military recruiting station yeah right yeah after it was closed or no one was in it like militant hippies with right yeah right like uh throwing a mottoff cocktail through the front of a bank when it went right that kind of shit yeah um it's like kind of how like everything is kind of, left wing stuff is much easier to kind of terrorism, like, eco-terrorism is most

like, you know, flattening tires on a front-end loader or something. So, yeah. Yeah, anyway, I don't know what to expect this year. I would be utterly shocked if we made it through without some sort of high-profile like at least assassination attempt. The Secret Service seems

to be really good at their job, despite all the stories about their partying fuckery. So, I mean, I would, remember when they let somebody get on an elevator with a bomb with a gun? no i don't remember that yeah there's a bunch of heads rolled over that some guy just got an elevator of the bomb and had a gun on him and like they didn't notice or check him uh but yeah maybe we've been lucky i don't know gonna be a hell of a year y'all so we'll see how it all plays out won't we my thing is like psycho is going to be this way anyway just push through and do the right thing

like like that what trump was saying that i basically shouldn't be prosecuted because there will be bad them and then the reporter's like well, we asked them to not do bedlam, and he walked away. Right. It's like, well, they're going to do bedlam regardless. So just do the right fucking thing. Right. We're all locked into this ride.

So, like, all the way out's through, man. I don't know. Yeah. Red wave of, oh, sorry, I missed that. Matt brought it up and then took it away from me. Teasing me, Matt, let's get these comments and whatnot up here. Why not? Sorry, Red Wave of Catchup. I didn't say it.

Sinful Solutions. That's fun. It says, remember to hit the light button. Thank you very much. my favorite solutions are sinful in nature yeah smash that like button subscribe all that stuff tell you friends richard daniel says is mark wearing a daltz shirt i don't know what darts is this is the back to the future shirt uh it's about biff's uh yeah i'm not familiar with daltz either it sounds like a like a hit and dive bar or something to me uh yeah i want to do adults

dalt's a good old boy uh neverman is here says death threats are normal credible death threats or not. Also, the number are hundreds to thousands of times the amount. Yeah. I mean, you say there's, there's been people to follow through. And also, we don't know about, I mean, your average congressperson probably doesn't report all their death threats. You know what I'm saying? They're probably only reporting the ones that sound serious and credible. So like, like, you get thousands of consider. I mean, I don't know how to, you might be probably, you might be absolutely right. Maybe I'm being a chick a little here, but I do know that a bunch Trump, like some guy just, some guy just last week, I forgot to mention it,

shot up the Colorado Supreme Court building because that's where they decided Trump did it. I mean, I missed that one too. Ignat's, mm, says, don't forget Paul Pelosi. Yeah. I forgot about Paul Pelosi. I was going to bring it, you know, our buddy friend of the show from the Tennessee Holler, you know, his house got shot up during all that Tennessee three stuff. And, you know, he posted about it publicly himself and everything, so it's all right to say that. But, yeah, I mean, you know, that freaked me the hell out. I ain't going to lie. Because, I mean, I've gotten death threats before. I've gotten plenty of them.

And I never really took them, you know, seriously. But that's what I'm saying. It's like it does feel like somewhat different to me. Like it's beginning now that I personally know someone who had some shit like that happened to them. You know, it's kind of hard to ignore. Didn't bullets go through Justin's, like, daughter's bedroom window? I don't remember. I mean, he has kids and they definitely shot into their house.

I don't remember whose bedroom or whatever it was. But, yeah, people shot through the windows and into his house at like three in the morning and outside of Tennessee. And him, his wife decided whether or not he talked about whether or not he should step back from a journalism. And he pushed forward. He's braver than all these fucking coyotes people's right. Yes, absolutely, 100%. John Orbit Bainbridge says if Trump isn't stopped now, there might not be any stopping him. I mean, yeah, that's like, that's the big thing.

That's why it is so important, you know, it is like existential in nature because you're right. Like, yeah, he's not going to just relinquish control again or whatever. And even if, you know, he loses this election, like he did last. Last time, who the hell knows what'll happen after that? You know what I mean? Look what happened last time. And now almost when it came this close. Jesus Christ.

So, I mean, yeah. If he gets off January 6 charges, why would he not do a bigger, worse January 6-2 until everybody do guns this time? Mark Turner says Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project got swatted also. Yeah, I saw that today. Happened today, right? A lot of swatting going around. Where the fuck's the FBI on this shit? Right.

James Williams says death threats are not normal in any context. It's not considered normal political discourse. To be fair to the other commenter, I think what he was saying, he or she was saying is just that like in this world or in politics or whatnot, like there's always going to be death threats happening to people like always has been, always will be. But there's a difference,

you know, there's a difference in level of severity or when they're credible or whatever else. I got a bunch in this era different. I got a bunch in 2017. I posted a picture of my wife. wife with a women's march protest sign and it went viral because my wife's funny and she made a funny sign and uh i got a bunch of people in my dm threatened to kill me just for posting a picture my wife holding a sign that was wildly sarcastic about trump and then people tried docks in me but

they only found my old address so like i didn't hear about any murders happening in my old address but maybe somebody took a bullet that was meant for me i don't fucking know george orwell said if uh if if presidents are completely immune and why did for it have to pardon Nixon, also a good point. Like Nixon came up today. They said the difference was Nixon was indicted for private conduct, whereas Trump was doing the official duties of his office, which is not true. Right. Nixon was using government assets to harass American citizens.

In like a political context that was directly related to him being the president, continuing to be the president and whatnot. Richard Daniels says, Daltz is a fairly pedestrian restaurant in Nashville. Well, okay. I'm not familiar with adults. I've got to Nashville all the time. I guess now I won't check it out. Restar. That ringing endorsement from Rich there. Kraft Dinner says, I wonder if this person's Canadian, says,

Curious if Trey has any plans, oh, to do any Canadian dates. I should just kept reading. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to be in Vancouver later this spring. I don't remember the exact date right now. If you're, but that's the all. I'm doing like a North Pacific North. I'm being in Seattle, or up that way, and then also Vancouver, and then coming right back down.

I've still, to this day, I've never been on the east side of Canada, and I need to do that. So I need to tell my agent, you know, for Toronto, Toronto and, you know, the French parts and stuff. What's Kraft Dinner? You've seen another. It's a blue box, craft mac and cheese. You know, the Blue Box Craft Mac and Cheese. In Canada, they call it Kraft Dinner, and it's like apparently like a cultural staple. They live by it up there, I reckon.

I mean, I like the shit, too. but I guess they're really super into it. And I think I've heard before this. Some of them maybe put like ketchup in it and stuff, which I'm not down with that. But, you know, to eat their own, I suppose. Kitchen with mech and cheese? I think, but I could be wrong.

Canadians, you know, surprise it ain't maple syrup. I'm right. With moose made in it. You crazy Canucks with your maple leaves and your hockey sticks. Suzanne Smith says, that's what I want to know. Mark, are these swatters being penalized? well, they're like, they're not, they do it in such a way that they're not, they're hard to find out or whatever, right? Right, they get matched their numbers, but, but the, if the NSA can record all of our text messages and phone calls, certainly they know who's fucking doing this.

Like, right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. Consequent is not, uh, not a big thing in American politics lately or ever, I guess, but especially lately. Uh, but what are you going to do?
