Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews - 11/07/23 – Election Roundup

Episode Date: November 8, 2023

Tonight we are once again joined by certified politics enthusiast and Ohio boy Travis Irvine to track not just the outcome of his homeland’s vote on abortion rights, but all the myriad important elections going down around the country today. Join us. Support the show

what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you it's november 7th election night 23 i'm trey crowder that's mark aji what's up mark how you feeling over there yeah but uh pretty good um it's election night and like you know a bunch of city statewide elections uh you know off your stuff here in the united states uh a couple of day one Weigel, who writes for Semaphore, put off this handy guide to the narrative takeaways tonight, however things go. It's a first way it goes is Republicans flip the Kentucky governorship in Virginia Senate, and the takeaway will be Biden must resign, the Democrats, the new Whig party, all dead. Number two is the Dem holds the Virginia Senate, but at Mississippi, governorship goes to the runoff, in which case, that's the end of MAGA. Socialism is here to stay.

And the third is, Dem holds the Kentucky governor and lose Virginia Senate. And that's like, you know, America's a land of contrast. What are you going to do? know but yeah what's your call uh well some outlets have already called the kentucky governorship for democrat andy bishir so uh that's good last time i checked the vote totals with uh 56 percent of the votes in he's still leading 53 to 47 daniel cameron get fucked uh one of the most cynical operators cover up brianna taylor's murder i hate this guy i hope he loses by a lot and leaves politics forever embarrassed so that's an uplifting result so far if it holds um

And we'll talk back down on a little bit. That's the only one we have so far, right? It's the only one of these elections that we're talking about that's been called at this point. Mississippi's most populous county, with the largest black population, somehow ran out of votes of ballots. Yeah. How does this keep happening? Yeah. Yeah, no, it's always, always some shit like that.

It looks particularly agree just when it's like, yeah, a place it's 83% black or whatever, you know. Seems like it's always, that type of thing never happens in like, you know, a white, predominantly white district or, you know, super red one. So, yeah, we'll check on that a little bit, but like, I haven't seen any vote totals coming from that yet. Lawyers are running to judge to keep polls open in that, in whatever county Jackson's in. So we'll see how that goes a little bit. A couple things we get to the show. We haven't talked about NFTs a little bit because everything collapsed, but there's still a few people holding out, you know, like, you know, those Japanese soldiers that didn't surrender to 1970s.

So there was a big gathering in Japan this week where a bunch of people went to, you know, show their JPEGs, their apes or whatever. And they had a big LED screen that they were conducting the show from. And they used UV lights for this thing. And a bunch of the attendees had to go to the hospital with burned retinas because they were essentially looking at the sun for a half a day. Right. I mean, why is it even an option to use UV lights for that type of display and why would you do that in the first? It really makes the apes pop. Is that what it was?

The color of the apes really, you can't really appreciate the artistry on display if you don't have UV light set up or something. I had no idea this was even still a thing, frankly. Yeah, this whole thing collapsed so fast. I can't believe anyone still thinks has any merit to it. You know, the leading face of, progressive face of crypto, if there is such a thing saying back from Freed's not going to spend most of the rest of his life in prison as of last week. So all these people are just, I'm not sure a planet they're on. But speaking of our hilarious and deadly dystopia,

they're going to read this headline to you, how Israel shot down a ballistic missile in space for the first time. So we had our first space war, space battle. yeah uh and against all odds uh Yemen was involved uh hooty rebels in Yemen launched a missile at Israel that Israel was shot down from space and if you want to know one of the reasons we need a fucking ceasefire on this thing so if shit doesn't keep spying out of control is we have a space war with Yemen going on if you'd give me a thousand guesses for who was involved in the first ever space battle I probably would have guessed

Luxembourg before Yemen Madagascar I don't fucking know Yeah have the Houthi rebels in Yemen Even get a rocket into space Like is it Iran I'm assuming That's where rocket technology is at now

It's more accessible More accessible these space rockets Yeah I've been waiting on Musk of the Houtis over there Just fucking good It's like you know You know how

Tony Stark Built the first Iron Man suit In a cave in the dark With a box of scraps yeah famously everybody knows it uh when i used to work for the doe i did interagency agreement so like little many contracts between the doe and other agencies and i remember getting one on my desk one time that was the something something like blank and space warfare center and i remember being like fucking space warfare this isn't like 2011 or whatever i had no idea that that was even on the

dog it's way before space force and i you know i got pretty fired up i don't know what those people were doing at that, you know, there's so many, like, little agencies that people don't even know exist. They're, like, tiny and super obscure and whatnot all across various larger departments and whatnot. So, I think I, uh, I might have mentioned this in a show before, but one of my old day jobs, yeah, I worked for an executive headhunter firm here in Los Angeles when I first moved here before I got into TV writing. And, uh, you read these resumes some execs all day. And it's like a, like a guy I worked for defense contractors who used to be in the Navy. And he had the coolest job to ever heard of my life. And he had the coolest job to I've ever heard of

my life. It was a U.S. Pacific Fleet dolphin commander. And I was like, hell yeah. Yeah. I saw, this isn't as badass, but I remember seeing an article once about like some fast food expose or something. They had a response from McDonald's vice president of cheeseburgers. And that was always one of my.

That's a dream job right there. Yeah. You got to be in the C-suite, buddy. Might as well be the VP of Cheeseburg. cheese burgers. All right. Well, let's get into it. Production Matt is with us, as always. We'll be joined later by Travis Irvine, longtime denizen of the Ske Universe, certified politics junkie, and Ohio boy.

keeping track of these various off-year elections that are going on, some of which are vitally important. You know, every American election is important, guys. Let's be honest. But before we get to all that and before we welcome Travis Irvine to the show, let's do the Daily Dumbass, Matt, Graphics. please. Tonight's D.D., anybody who doesn't think Eric Trump could be right about something exactly one time. Let's see here.

And it's sad that this is the United States of America. And right now, make no mistake about it, maybe through your very lenses. The entire world is watching this and they're laughing about what's going on. Yeah. Show me lie. Keeping it hundred, Eric Trump. Yeah. He's staying in front of a court building in New York where Donald Trump testified this week. This isn't his, you know, civil fraud trial. We might have to pay, you know, I don't know, a quarter of a billion dollars in penalties and not be able to operate his business anymore.

And it was an absolute fucking farce. I mean that even by Trump standards. Yeah. Like, the judge had he yelled at him repeatedly to stay on topic because he was just like doing his rally speeches. Right. The witness said and not answering any questions he was asked. Let me give you some sample quotes.

I'm not a windmill person. Yeah, we know. We all know that. He hates windmills, dude. They kill birds, famous. Yeah, he did another speech this week about women. I didn't want to use a clip of it because we've covered it enough. He's still on the windmill thing.

Another line from Trump said on the witness stand pertaining to nothing, I have a castle, which is an awesome flex. I wish I had a castle, but yeah. Good for him. His lawyer, which his lawyer didn't even bother cross-examiny, and they just let their prosecutor rip them apart and then fucking walked away. His lawyer said, in 33 years, I've never had a witness testify better. An absolute brilliant performance by President Trump.

he's not backing like why you would you say this you have to work again as a lawyer right in theory uh i don't understand well i mean you know whatever i mean i'm law dumb but getting him up there in the first place but also just it seems odd to me to just let him just only get grilled by the you know by the state or the prosecution whatever and then just leave it at that let him go on this nonsensical diatribe for however long it took and get made fun of across the internet and just not offer any sort of rebuttal legally or whatnot. This is the one that's the one that has to do with him artificially infighting the value of things over the years and lying about how much money he had or how much worth his properties had to screw people over investment.

You got to understand that from their perspective this told things a fucking force in another direction. It's a setup because like like yeah, he elevated to get better loan terms, he inflated the value of his properties, right? to get better, to be better loan rates and more money from the banks. They, the banks profited off the deal, right? So they're thinking, how could I have defrauded somebody who made money off of it? I didn't steal from them. I probably made money for them. Right.

But here's a thing, Martin Screlli went to jail for the same thing. He lied to his investors that he made money for about what he was investing their money in and still went to prison. You cannot lie to Pete, if I steal $100 on your wallet and go bet it on a horse and the horse comes in 40 to 1 and I put a thousand bucks back in your wallet. I still stole $100 from you. And that's the judge ruled. That's why the judge ruled off the top.

They're guilty and they're just haggling over how much the penalty is going to be. So like, so like they're frustrated with this whole thing because they don't understand like that you can't rob people, even if you leave them better off. But so the penalty, you know, again, sorry I'm so law dumb. This is a civil fraud trial. The penalty goes to who? Like the state.

Okay. So it's not. he's not being sued by these financial institutions or whatever. No. And like Deutsche Bank and stuff has like basically been on the record saying that he was just too rich of a client for us. Like we knew he was defrauding us. Right. But we could we made so much money off of them.

We couldn't say no. And then once he was president, they couldn't call on their loans even when he was defaulting on them because you don't call it a mark on the president of the United States when you're an international financial company. So, but I was trying to figure out what my favorite exchange from this court proceeding was. It was either between this one where the prosecutor says, did you get copies of statements in 2021? Trump said I was so busy in the White House with China, Russian, keeping the country prosecutor. You were not the president in 2021? Yeah, this one went kind of viral this exchange. I saw it all over Twitter earlier today.

Yeah. Yeah. And this one, just talking about Scotland, goes, Aberdeen is the old capital of Europe, very rich. Trump says, at which point the judge interacts irrelevant. And then Trump goes softly, it is. It is, though. Okay, fine, but it is. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, all these trials, just, you know, an absolute gold mine of stupid quips. You know what I mean? Like, as we go through, I'm like, there's going to be more than you could ever keep up with. I'm sure, you know, anytime he speaks in court, you're going to get some wild. a shit like this. So at least he's not even in court. The same speech I was talking about

where he talked about windmills again in the whales. He basically confessed to obstruction of justice on like live on camera. And I'm like, how the fuck, dude? How the fuck? Right. I do admire his dog in dedication to committing most of his crimes in front of the whole world, you know?

That's the secret. Right. Yeah. Yeah. It's like it's so brazen or whatever. It's like, well, it can't be, you know, it can't actually be breaking laws or whatever. who would be dumb enough to just do it on Fox News or not in front of millions of people.

But, yeah, he do, though. All right. Our honorable mention for Daily Dumbass, people who don't think it's perfectly normal to share your porn history with your kid. This wild shit here, Maga Mike Johnson, the speaker of the house, shares a little TMI here. With covenant eyes within your home. And so why is that such an appeal? Why do parents need to put this into their home? Great question. We probably could have called this more appropriately a war on the darkness of technology

because there are some good things with technology. Of course, I mean, you know, the Bible apps we all love. We broadcast our services, you know, on our social media and there's some very positive things. But there's also, as Clint's pointed out aptly, some really dark things. So Covenant Eyes is the software that I, we've been using a long time in our household. I was first learned about it at, I think, a promise keeper's event in the early 2000s. I think it was developed in about the year 2000. But it's the largest accountability software that there is, and there's some paperwork out there on the table that I think everybody may have picked up on the way in. If not, go get it. It's a subscription-based, we don't make any money on this. I'm telling you, we use it, okay? I'm endorsing it because I'm a user. It's about $15 a month, $16 a month, something like that. And you get up to 10 devices.

And what it is, it's accountability software. So men in a church, you know, men's Bible study groups will do it. That's how it's presented at Promise Keepers. but they also mentioned, hey, when your kids become teenagers, especially if you have boys, dads, they're talking to the guys at this event, you might want to think about doing this with your sons. And so we've been doing that.

And so what it does real simply is it has an algorithm and software, it's way above my head how it works, but it scans, you obviously opt into it, but it scans every, all the activity on your phone or your devices, your laptop, tablet, what have you. We do all of it. And then it sends a report to your accountability partner. So my accountability partner right now is,

Jack, my son, right? All right. So he and I get a report. If there's anything objectionable that comes up on that report, then it gets reported to your accountability part. Dude, this 17-year-old is like fucking hacking into the mainframe watching porn. He's like doing matrix-level hacking shit, having to circumvent this stuff. So, you know, he might have a future in cybersecurity or something

because he's definitely getting put through the ringer at this stuff. Right. He's not watching porn. I don't give a fuck what Covenant Eyes says. He's figuring something out. But yeah, this is nuts. I was, I was trying to figure out, like, if my dad got a text alert every time I jerked off, like teenage me jerked off, I went through all of his data, like his phone went.

Yeah, his battery explodes. Yeah, right. Yeah. No, he, this kid is going to be like, he's definitely going to be, you know, getting tied up and pissed on in a few years or something like that. Because I feel like anytime, like this, like, level of repression or whatever, you know, like, I mean, I'm sure you did too. I went to school with kids who were like super, super strict Christian households or whatnot. And then, you know, at least a couple I can think of.

Then they, like, get, they go to college, they get out of the house or whatnot and just lose their goddamn minds, you know, just go wild as fuck. Another, speaking of the repression levels here, another notable user coming in eyes was Josh Dugger, who ended up in prison for a bunch of different sex crimes with children and adults and child porn and shit. So I'm going to say that it doesn't work. But I was trying to think of which way is more disturbing because, like, the dad getting the son. jerk off history is bad enough, but imagine you're the son, you're hanging out with your boys. And you get a notification on your phone. I was, sorry, boys, I got to go. My dad's talking his baby. I got to go join him in prayer, absolving these sins, because he's looking at milth porn again. It's also like, if I'm a foreign intelligence service right now, my first

thought is, I got to buy coveted eyes. Right, dude. Yeah, I know. Yeah, that part too, like, willingly just giving it access to like, I thought that was like a big deal nowadays for people. Right. You mean like protecting your data and whatnot and just like you're just giving this third party company or software access to literally everything you do across every device, your entire digital footprint and your whole families too. Yeah.

Wild, dude. But it's in, you know, all in the name of the Lord. So I did. I went and looked at their website and most of it's pretty straightforward device. Like you might have a porn. It's like a very just foxworthy bit.

Like you might, You might have a porn looking at problem if you're paying for a lot of porn. I have to agree with that. If you're paying for a lot of porn, you probably do have a problem considering how much is just fucking free. But like it is a, I understand it's got to be a parental problem, like ubiquity of porn now. And like, I don't have kids. It's not something like occurred to me. But like, what do you?

You obviously have to tell kids like real sex isn't like this. You know, it's like, I mean, have you geared up your speech yet? No, no. I'm living in denial as far as that goes. I was my oldest son just turned 12. It's like, so, I mean,

it's like right around the corner and I'm, yeah, having trouble with it. Not just that part. I just can't believe that I'm already here, that my sons are about their fucking teenagers and then puberty and all that. I'd feel like I'm not ready for it. Like,

but, you know, here we go, especially in the modern era. But, yeah. What are you going to do? So another thing about Mike Johnson real quick.

People, basically, he's never been through the fire before us and like all this opal research is coming out. Like I see an investigation into his work. pushing conversion therapy, dug up another clip where Mike Johnson said that Rome fell because they can bone homosexuality. Yeah, or you know what, Mark, like, maybe Rome prospered because of all the butt fucking. Anybody ever think about that?

They were a 2,000-year empire. That's what I'm saying. You're just going to use the ending to make that determination? What about the 2,000 years of hitting real hard they did while also butt-fucking? That, like, you know, it could easily go the other way. I feel like it's easier to make that argument, you know. But the 2000 year empire, by the way, they were hella gay the whole time. It wasn't that they weren't weird about sex.

They were just weird about sex in a different ways. Like basically their ideas and masculinity weren't wrapped up in who they had sex with. But it was, they did have rules. Like, it was like prison rules where as long as you were the one pitching and not catching, then you were good. Also, like, Rome didn't have any lesbians, you know, because everyone wanted to have sex with men because, you know, men rule. The rules are basically like, you could be gay, but only down social status. could have sex with slaves and other people's slaves they gave you permission right but like there's just these people are so dumb and no understanding of history and not understanding like

people like again that wasn't that people weren't worried about sex but they were weird in different ways until like the British empire made everyone prudish in their specific way at the point at the end of a rifle but like the idea that Rome collapsed because it gave people is just like what just shut the fuck up dude uh you don't even know um do we is is uh do we know if uh Travis's hair yes do you want to okay I wanted to mention this real quick. This is a sad. We're talking about sexual repression, the Roman Empire and Shed.

So this, Bubba Copeland, who was a mayor of Smith Station, Alabama, the pastor of a church there in Phoenix City. I killed himself a few days ago last week. After a local blog involuntarily outed him as a, quote, transgender woman, which I'm using quotes because I think he just cross-dressed, although he did write, like, erotic fan fiction where he was a woman. So I'm not sure how he would. have identified himself, but I'm, I'm using, I'm, I'm using him pronouns because what he used

publicly. And he also renounced to she, her pronouns that, like, he had to stand up in front of his church and try to say that he was still a good man. His wife knew and he was like coming to God and all that stuff. This small town section, he just sort of drives me crazy as a person from a small town. Right. He was a Republican, but not like, as far as I can tell, like, his issues were like local business stuff and trying to help people get jobs. He was on the school board. He was proud of like getting more computers in classrooms from an average of one to an average of three. So like the tragic irony is here is like he was interviewed about the sound biggest problems. And he says the number, uh, the crime was down and the economy was good.

The city's number one problem was suicides due to, uh, you know, military service members coming back and social media bullying, he said, which looks different after how his life ended. And even after, uh, Bobba Copeland's death, people leaving hateful messages on the church, Oh, his church's Facebook page. Well, I was just about to say, before you said, I was going to be like, I wonder how these people feel like went to his church and it's a small town. They're in his community. He's, you know, been a pillar of the community for so long.

They all know him. I bet a lot of them, like, loved him. He's the pastor. He's probably relatively beloved, at least by a lot of people. And then I just wonder how they have been feeling now that this has happened. Like, is there any sort of sense of like, you know, we went too far on their part. Yeah, right.

Or, yeah, but then you said like, no, they're on his, even after he's dead, there on his Facebook page, calling him slurs or whatever. I wouldn't read the original blog that outed him. There was nothing. The language in it wasn't hateful or judgmental. It was just like, oh, by the way, the mayor has a private Instagram page where he dresses like a woman. Yeah.

And it was just like, just that was enough to like rile up the mob. And anyway, my point is like in a thousand years, and somebody's writing the story about the decline of our empire. And some idiot like Mike Johnson will be saying, it's because of people like Bubba Copeland when in reality it's because of people like fucking Mike Johnson and fuck him. So anyway, RIP Bubba.

Right. With that said, we'll get into the election talk with the one and only Travis Irvine, bring him in here, Matt, you all know him. You love him. Ohio boy politics junkie, graduate of Columbia Journalism School or, you know, however you say that. Finn Baker and, you know, vagabond extraordinaire. Travis Irvine.

What's up, buddy? What's up, y'all? We're getting ready to party. yeah we're getting ready to party because things are looking good in ohio folks i just want to get yeah what's the latest there Travis we got some numbers we got some numbers we got some numbers coming in now here's the thing right you all know from election nights we've all lived through with too many of them at this point um but it's always going to start out with early voting right so your earlier vote i'm going to take off my america glasses keep on the nerd glasses here because now we're talking numbers

and the the numbers are looking fantastic right now for ohio for early vote but that's vote. Democrats are always voting early, more so than Republicans. So your early vote totals are always going to be more skewed towards the Democrats. See what I did there. And so we're looking at 836,000 votes counted as of now. Now that is again, that's only like 2% of actual Election Day precincts reporting. So this is mostly, if not all, 98% early vote totals. But right now, abortion rights are looking to pass in Ohio by 63% to 36%. So that's 63% in favor of abortion rights. Yes, on issue one in Ohio, as of now, with early vote totals. And for legal weed, come on, baby, give me the sweet, sweet combo of both. 56% to 43% passing

right now. So these numbers right now, it's looking very good early vote for both legal abortion rights, reproductive rights, as well as legal marijuana rights. But again, what happens as the election day numbers come in and more Republicans vote on election day,

these margins are going to narrow a bit, but then they're going to expand again because once they start counting the actual populous counties in Ohio, which is your Cuyahoga, Cleveland, Hamilton, and Cincinnati, Franklin, that's Columbus. Once those all get to be counted in mass, then that adds to the margin again.

So that's kind of what we're looking at. But, I mean, I think you've already seen there in Kentucky, Andy Beshear, they're already calling it for him there. So it could be a good election night. Could be good looking forward to 2024. Right. Everybody in all your buckhaws out there, feel free to get high and pregnant tonight. Oh, you know I'm going to.

You know I'm going to. Something I found in here. By the way, I send you a picture tray. after you told me Irvine was going to come on tonight, I ran into him at the bus stop. And he was wearing American flag glasses and a burning t-shirt. They still got him on. And I was like, he's optimistic. So something I found encouraging before today is last night, the anti-abortion movement was already started messaging to preempt losses today.

Here's a quote from the president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, which the president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America being a dude is funny to me. We've never been good at a state level. We have a very diverse country. It makes sense that each state deciding what to do about abortion. be a cumbersome process with fits and starts. So that's, he's already excuse making. I want to talk about my home state of Virginia real quick. The whole legislature's up.

Glenn Yonkin, Republican governor of Virginia, managed to raise $34 million, which is the most in history for a state legislature race. And they even spent more through PACs than Democrats responded by spending raising a bunch more money. And I think they even beat him. But I was a bit nervous coming into today because, of as of November 2nd, a couple days ago, early voting was about 50% of where it was in

2021. We had the governor's election. So I was like, are people really not fired up to vote? But of course, there's same-day voter registration stuff in Virginia now, I think. So a lot of college kids are voting. I don't really know how it's going to go. There are a couple of races I wanted to, I was keeping an eye on, and I'll check the results of these in a minute. In 24th District is an incumbent senator, Monty Mason's Democrat, up against a guy named Danny Diggs. Diggs is a former sheriff, long-time sheriff in the area. He marched along Proud Boys at a gun rights rally where they took a guillotine to the state capitol

because that's what you do nowadays. He attended a John Burt Society event in 2015. 40 years after the John Burt Society was the villain in a Charlie Daniels song. He defended one of his deputies who were blackface on Halloween. She dressed up as a local state legislature Slater, I don't fucking know. He also,

at his retirement party from the sheriff's office, he joked about unsolved rapes. He was talking about how special was to me people years after he'd helped solve their case. And he said, it must have been 30 years ago. We saw her rape case. Lady saw me a few years ago. She remembered me and remember did we solve her case

and how much that meant to her. How much she was able to help her get her life together and move on. Then he joked, whose successor, Ron Montgomery, was that the only one we ever solved? Jesus Christ, in front of the lady? Yes. My God, bro.

No, I mean, in front of the public, I don't know if that lady was there. Oh, I was telling the story about that and then made the job. Okay. Right. So right now, Monty Mason's up 51.5 to 48 and a half. I hope that 61% counted. Some other races, they were important here. There were swing races.

is the Republicans winning in a 31st district, which isn't great. And in the 16th district, there's another swing when the Democrats up by four points with 55% counted. So that, okay, so it's looking like Democrats model the Senate. Remember the stakes here, Republicans are probably going to hold the House, and they have the governorship. So if they take the, if they take the Senate, they're going to pass the 15-week abortion ban. So back to Ohio. I was looking at some exit poll stuff. earlier, Travis.

And I was shocked to see that a majority of Ohio voters think abortion should be legal. You guys literally just voted on this kind of a couple months ago. Right. And just made everybody do it again. And the messaging around this was insane. We talked before about trying to make it a parent's rights issue. And to this point, a guy named Bernie Moreno, who's running against Sharia Brown for the U.S. Senate, said that the ballot measure would let a rapist force a woman to get an abortion.

abortion. Specifically said that if they, this passed, his daughter's rapists would be able to force them to get abortions. And I don't know quite how his brain got there. Do you have, is it logic to this? No. I mean, Bernie Moreno is another one of these never Trumpers like J.D. Vance who then became very, very pro-Trump.

So no, of course, none of the mental gymnastics that he's going to try to do on this issue or any issue makes any sense. And he's also going to be in a contentious Republican primary, by the way, before he gets to the final round against Sherrod Brown next year for Senate. But this is you're absolutely right, Mark. This is what they've done, the anti-issue 1 people, the anti-abortion people. Their messaging is all over the place now, especially these last few weeks, because poll after poll, including their own poll, sort of showed them that issue 1 was going to pass overwhelmingly.

You know, it reminds me of Trey's bit that he was doing when we were on the road to Ohio, when he was referencing that August election you were talking about, about whether or not Ohioans want to vote, about whether or not our vote means shit or not. And yeah, we're going to go ahead and vote to say that I do want my vote to mean shit. That's kind of what we're looking at tonight too, right? Anyone who has a woman in their life, whether it's a niece or a sister or a mom, a grandma, and aunt, whatever it is. Women's rights at the end of the day is one of these issues that's going to transcend past

partisan politics, right? And we're going to see that tonight. We saw that in August too, right? A lot of rural red counties still voted no on that issue on, meaning they want to protect our constitutional votes as opposed to now when they're voting yes on issue one and they actually want to protect reproductive rights. So you're absolutely right, Mark, that they intend to confuse with their messaging because that's the only way they can win on an issue like this. Well, correct me if I'm wrong, right, but you know, they said GOP stands for gaslight,

obstruct, project, and whatever. They excel at projection and everything. Like, they're, in fact, a lot of their, like, in some of these states where they passed these super restrictive abortion plans and stuff like it the opposite holds true right we're like if a woman is raped and has to carry the kid to term or whatnot and it like allowed the rapist family to sue her if she went somewhere else and got an abortion or that like those types of provisions in these laws have come up before so it's like they're you know taking things that are bad about what they're trying to do and then just saying that those bad things are or what the left is trying to do or whatnot which They do that all the time.

I do want to say as a dirtbag dude, like the way these things are winning overwhelmingly, like overwhelmingly, like obviously some women are pro life, right? So this is a, this is like dudes are voting for this too. And because it's also about men's free, like a woman's going to make the decision, but we all know her relationships work. You're going to talk through stuff, right, and decide what's best for you as a couple or like where you're at in your life and all this kind of stuff. So it's not the woman's ultimately has the right to make whatever decision is going to make, but we've all, we've been in a relationship. you know what I'm saying like men are affected by these decisions as well and they're also voting for women to have rights so they can also be men can't always thought that like it's wild that as many dude just can just knowing how dirtbagging and shitty most men are how you know we're just animals and all this shit and have terrible decision making and are afraid of commitment and all of those things it's always been wild to me that there's as many like pro light or anti-choice dudes as there are because you know you'd think they'd want to you know be able to pull that to pull that card if they need to and pay for an abortion or whatever because they don't want to be responsible for shit. But, but I know it's like it's about controlling women and that and that whole type of thing.

And also like they know that they can just sort of fuck off if they want to anyway or whatever. There's a bunch of reasons why that doesn't hold true. But it's always been kind of funny to me. The ones in the state legislature and the in Congress are rich though. So like they're always going to be able to get abort their mistress's abortions. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

Like it's like it literally doesn't affect. them at all. It's one of the reasons they vote the way they do. I'm sure some of them are true believers, but like, Roy Wood had a great joke at the congressional correspondence during the other night about the way to make all this makes sense. It'd be like, the Congress people, if you get your if you get your mistress pregnant in D.C.,

she has to follow the rules back in your own district. Right. I was like, yeah, that's basically how he used to fix this problem. There's also because exit polls, they ask everything. This is another exit poll in Ohio. Ohio voters say Biden and Trump shouldn't run in

24, 7 out of 10 Ohio voters, they don't think Biden should be running for another term and 64% think Trump shouldn't run. Now, I'm not going to parse the 8% difference between 72 versus 64 because, like, basically voters are saying, neither are these motherfuckers, but they're going to get both these motherfuckers.

And do you guys see that poll that came out this weekend? They had Biden losing Trump at a landslide. No. Yeah. It was talked about today in a meeting I had. how scary that is for a lot of people.

But I agree with you. I mean, even, I can't believe we are at this point. I think I pointed that out last time I came on the show was that this is the first time in over 100 years that will two the same presidential candidates running against each other in a consecutive presidential election. The last time was William Jennings Bryan and William McKinley, who ran against each other in 1896 and 1900. Very familiar.

Yeah, but you know, you all remember the contentious. Yes. Absolutely. Very contentious. years, the McKinley Brian years, those campaigns. But, you know, that's, again, just, it highlights how unexcited people are right now about this entire situation, right? Whether it's a Democrat who doesn't like Biden or a Republican who doesn't like Trump, it's going to be those two guys again. I think you're going to mass checking out, which is going to be a problem more so for Democrats.

Right. Right. I need people to show up next year. So I just want to ask what you guys, each of you things about like the whole because we've talked about before on the show mark about the various polls that show that just the Biden administration gets no credit for the things that they actually do do and I know you know I'm not saying Biden is absolutely crushed it or whatnot but like I just wonder how it's like the book has already been written on him and it doesn't even matter what he like actually is able to accomplish because like you know I just feel like legislatively or whatever he's not he's not done that bad he's gotten some shit done to pro labor stuff and and and you know the IRA and all this shit but he just gets zero credit

credit for any of it or does that not even matter because he's ancient and boring and he you know he has gaffs and all this stuff like you know people were trying to figure out this poll because the result like first of all it's a year away and like at this point Obama was losing to Romney in 2012 and polls also said but people also were also saying they didn't like either Obama or Romney and I'm not sure like in a two-party system where the party nominates the person I'm not sure we'll ever have right an election where people are happy with their choices and I'm not sure maybe we have like a national jungle primary where everybody wants to sign up to run,

could run and we get a president who got 4,000 votes nationwide. I don't know. But like, it's just like, to me, the biggest bowling of Biden administration has been like the sort of clumsy way

they're dealing with Israel and Gaza right now in a way that I'm not sure anybody is happy with. But like, I'm not sure like the economic polling in this was astounding to me because people think Trump handled the economy better than Biden by like 20 some points. Right.

And I'm like, but he did, they didn't mail us free money during COVID. But if you don't mean that, what do you mean? Like we talked about inflation a lot, Travis. And it's like they, in that poll, people said they're mad about prices going up. And then they ask about their income. They go, oh, yeah, my income's gone. I have more too. And then basically people just get mad about prices being higher, even if they have more money.

It's like there's this like religious belief among Americans that sandwiches should be $5. foot long sandwiches It's like lunch should be $5 If lunch isn't $5 The president should make lunch $5 And like rent is fucking awful Travis and I talked about it on the bus today We saw each other like my rents go up like a thousand dollars

In the past like four years It's like year over year 9 10% They try to raise 15% one year That's unsustainable But I don't have a specific leave Or Biden should do To fix that Oh, then sends Delta Force to execute my landlord all for it.

Other than that, I'm not sure, you know. So I'm not sure what people want. What do you think about all that, Travis? About the perception of Biden and just these polls we were just talking about. Yeah, I was just on a Zoom with my friends from Blue Ohio. David Pepper is the former Ohio Democratic Party chair when he started this group, Blue Ohio. And that's what they were talking about for next year, right? Because again, here we are in an odd election year to the,

You always got Virginia, Kentucky, and New Jersey. They do all their statewide elections in these odd years. But otherwise, it's really just, again, this big Ohio abortion rights vote and the big Pennsylvania state Supreme Court race that's happening over there, Democrat, who obviously is pro-choice versus a very crazy anti-abortion Republican. But all of this is spelling out what's going to happen next year, right, in 2024. And that's what they were talking about, the Blue Ohio group, is how the messaging behind. Biden you got to they got to start getting that out there because you're right they're starting to see that people don't realize all the stuff Biden has done you know just from an objective president who gets shit done standpoint I mean even that should be their their message going forward so yeah they got to turn around the messaging this was because because Mark's right you know someone's sitting at at their lunch like hey this lunch is seven dollars to the five dollars they're going to try to vote the bums out and that's kind of the the big problem facing the Biden campaign. next year. Right. And they like they like the stars of prices stuff like I American, do Americans want like a Soviet style command economy with absolute price controls? Because I can't

figure out like like the stuff they can do like Biden tap the strategic petroleum reserve, right, to get gas prices down. Probably affected a 30 cents a gallon like captains full in 35 dollars or whatever it was like the 10 should be more but they'd be the Medicaid can't negotiate drug prices now. They try like without congressional like cooperation. They can't do a lot more. And The problem in Congress is the other party. Trump's going to cut rich people's taxes. That's not going to help you. I don't know what the people want.

Yeah, it's just like, I don't know, man. It's a low information voter problem. And also, like, it's not really a low information voter because there's so much information now. It's like, I don't, then people don't know what to believe, you know. Right. Well, and that's, you know, even this year, like can Democrats carry this, after the big post-road decision last summer, right?

They were able to kind of claw back. what they were going to lose in the midterms in 2012. You can see it's going to help them directly when it comes to abortion on the ballot, you know, like it was in Ohio or Kansas or Kentucky. They obviously win big there. So the real big question, not just on Biden's record, but can they keep this train rolling in a post, you know, row world where it is, you're going to see the abortion rights on the ballot in a lot more states next year as part of an overall nationwide strategy. yeah um sorry you talk from that tree i'm trying to look at some results real quick yeah well it's just like in terms of the messaging and polling about Biden and what he's done and whatnot there was some huge poll

that i know we talked about on here is a few weeks ago now but this like expansive poll about economics issues specifically and it's like when it comes to inflation and gas prices and all that type of stuff like it annoys me but like i understand like i fully understand why people are like you know, have you seen how much shit cost? Like, don't tell me things are super great when rent is this high and fucking eggs or this high and all this stuff. Like, I understand that

because I mean, pisses me off too. But then, but even though I understand that that's not fair to like blame Biden for all those things, like I sort of get it. But they also, like even on things that are just like objectively untrue, like unemployment and that type of thing, you know,

like where things are good and Biden administration has done well, they still, you know, like Mark said, it's like a 20-point gap between how they think Republicans or Trump administration would deal with that versus how Biden has dealt with it. So it's like reality just has no bearing on how people perceive the success of this administration. And I don't know what you do about that. By the way, no one's saying life is perfect.

Like one of the reasons unemployment rates so low is because people are working like gig a gig jobs. they'd rather not be working. But like, the way to get from a bad economy to a good economy is to get to a better economy first. Right. It's like, it's like, it's not a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a step-by-step process. The American economy is doing so much better post-COVID the other G7 countries. Right.

It's like, I'm not sure, like, people understand, we're still, like, centuries-long ramifications from COVID and what they did to the economy and supply chains and people's way, way of living and the things they prioritized. And the economy hasn't shifted the way, it's not done shifting. And I don't know. of people like, I don't know, it's just, it's frustrating to me that like, something happens, it's mildly discomfort it's comforting and we go, well, it's the president's fault. And they're like, well, no, we're halfway to fixing the problem. Right. And like, we can't go the other direction now.

Right. You know what I'm saying? It's like, yeah. Oh, I know exactly what you're saying. I mean, I feel the same way. It is very fresh. That's what I mean. It's like, and I don't, you know, I don't know what you, it's just makes you want to pull your hair out the way some people apparently, you know, look at our political landscape or whatever. But also, it's like, I get what, if you, you don't have to be a huge Biden fan, I understand, but it's just like, there are going to be, there's going to be two options, right? And one of them is, it's even again, you, you hammer the whole point about how old Biden is and that type of thing. It's like, well, so is Trump, but Trump is also crazy and dumb, like, on top of being old as fuck, you know, so like, I don't know, man.

But way, one last point in the Biden thing, uh, Gretchen Witt. or Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker have all stood up national political groups. So if Biden falls off his bike, three people are like, eh? It's a doggy, dog world out there, man. So, yeah. And officially Dave Washerman, election expert guy, has called issue one for the abortion's rights side. So that's... Woo!

Come on, y'all. All right. Look at this. Here we go. Oh, H. I-O, baby. That's it. Look at this. Good for yons.

How about that? That's fantastic. Yeah, that's the thing. Eventually, they're so far ahead that it doesn't matter how many people voted during the election. So this, again, that's kind of what people are pointing out is that the margin, at least for issue one, in terms of early vote, is already beggared than it was in August, right? And again, that was an early vote that was insurmountable for the Republicans at that point. So now, of course, I will be keeping an eye on my. own pet project, you know, abortion rights, reproductive rights, very important.

But marijuana rights, Lord knows we sure could use those in Ohio. So I will pour myself half of a shot in celebration of issue one. Trey, I got a special, a funny bone, a glass that I grabbed for one of the shows out there. Nice. And I'll save the second shot for issue two until we, so we know that was a little more safer. I'm a little curious about why this is because I would thought it'd go the other way, but abortion is apparently more popular in Ohio than weed. It's right now, issue one, abortion's winning 60.3 to 39.7 and legal weeds winning 55.7 to 44.3.

But yeah, the way they do is projection stuff. It's like if the abortion right side is winning 52-48 in a red-ass county with most of the votes in, then it just, like, it's like we don't have to wait to see any more. Like, we can project this out. Yeah. And Dave Wasserman also called it early back in August. So I'm going to assume he's a sage or an or an or something. He knows what he's talking about. And yeah, we're looking at over a million votes counted as of now that includes early and that includes about 8% of election day precincts reporting. One thing to note, Mark, that I've seen here on the Ohio Secretary of State's page, which is interesting, is that total votes cast in issue one on abortion rights,

it's a million and 17,000 that we're at, counted so far, whereas with issue two legal weed, it's a million and six thousand. So about 10,000 people voted on issue one, but left issue two blank. So that is something to look at, too, that maybe somebody went in. They're like, this issue one's very important, but I don't know how I feel about legal weed. So that's something we've been seeing, too, is that people are voting for one, but not the other. Interesting. The weed thing, I go back and forth on the weed thing.

Well, first of all, also, Matt, producer Matt, I just want to say if you want to grab us some questions and comments. I know you're throwing them graphics up and everything and I appreciate it. But yeah, you start throwing some of those our way. But the weed thing, part of me thinks like I can't believe it's even that close, like meaning I thought it'd be more in favor, like a larger victory for people because it's like, I feel like, I feel so outmoded and archaic for someone that's any kind of reef or madness ship persisting today amongst the populace. You feel like you don't see that. But you're like, well, there's a lot of pap balls out there and I'm not talking to them. So I don't know what they think.

But then, on the other hand, I'm not all that surprised because I was just thinking about this earlier for a different reason. But I feel like so many people just like if they if like if they don't, if they don't dig weed personally themselves and then fuck it, they could give a shit less regardless of like, you know, how they feel about the rationale of or constitutionality of it or whether it should be legal or not. You know what I mean? It's like if they just, if they don't do it, then, you know, they don't give a shit if anybody else gets to do it or not. I feel like. It's like, I just want to make the point here. Like, we're joking and stuff. But like the reason to legalize recreational weed is isn't just so people can party. It's so people don't end up with criminal records that fuck up their entirety of their lives for committing a crime that most teenagers commit. See, that's, well, that's kind of what I'm saying. Like, there are these very valid arguments for why it should be the case. And I'm saying I feel like a lot of people. that just don't fuck with weed at all, they don't, like, think about or care about any of those parts. Do you know what I mean?

There's like, ah, people don't need the wacky weed, you know, and leave it at that. They don't, like, think critically about it, which I know a wild thing to say about our fellow Americans, but I believe it to be true. Deb Morris says, thanks for showing up to vote, Ohio. Yep. All right. I want to do.

You're welcome, Deb. Liz Studenkis, says I, for once, am not ashamed to be from Ohio. But you guys got You guys got a University of Michigan over a barrel over their sign stealing thing. You've got to be very proud Ohio in right now. All them astronauts, too, baby, which, of course, the old joke about the Ohio astronauts is that's just, that's just how badly they wanted to get to fuck away from Ohio. Only the moon was far enough away.

Sorry, Mark. You've been trying to say something for like the past. Oh, yeah. Sorry. We'll get this comment a second. I love to update from Virginia. the three things that Analyst had

three races that ran Analyst had flagged as, you know, key ones for Democrats holding control of the Senate and women get to keep rights in Virginia. 31st District is leaning towards Democrat 51-49 with 86% counted.

The 16th District has already been called for the Democrat. And 24th one, the one with Monty Mason rendered against a sheriff, racist sheriff from the 1960s, Danny Diggs. digs is fucking winning 50.7 to 49.3 only 55% in but god damn I'm mad you know you hear the name like both those

names are off the ton of very illiterative or whatever like you need a you need a you know a double consonant name to take on a double constant name so at least they had that part figured out and it's like nms or double d's that's a hard choice you know yeah so uh moni mason pulls it out chalida i'm sorry from her national name Raleigh. She said, Ohio is not a four-letter word today, and this is from a Michiganian. Yeah, Monty Mason and Danny Diggs does sound like a tag team from 1996. Absolutely. The Mason-Dixon line or something like. The Mason-Dixon boys. Yeah. Yeah. That's funny. I mean, Ohio still is a four-letter word, but I hear you Shalida. Totally fair. In fact, we've got more numbers coming in. We're at 13% Election Day precincts reporting. So this is it. This is

when that margin starts to narrow. We're looking at 60% for yes on issue one, 40% no. But if we stay like this, like I said, if this is kind of where it stays, then those big counties in Ohio, your Cuyahogas, you know, your Cleveland's, your Cincinnati's, your Columbus's, those are going to push that margin back out. But this is where the margin shrinks. So this is Yeah. Yeah, they're past about 60, 40 now and marijuana rights are at 5540. So if we stay in this area for the rest of the night, that's actually bodes pretty well for both. And this is how you get Joe Biden to actually say the word abortion next year during the campaign, which he does is loath to do, which is like that and marijuana. I mean, he'd be right if you talk about both, but Joe Biden's never going to be for legalized in marijuana, dude.

He's like, he's like, he's a pro cop guy from the 80s. He's just like, it's like, he's like he remembers punching hippies, dude. so will tyson's has abortion has been legal in ohio marijuana hasn't so it makes sense abortion has more votes i make sense i thought about that way it's a good it's an interesting insight um the ones have changed one's the status quo wants to change yeah yeah but as far as we i know we've said before million times mark it just and for the bide administration it just feels like it's just such a goddamn layup i know you just said hey he's ancient he's a papalish pro cop whatever but it's like come on man like i just don't like i don't see the downside of it and you know every little bit helps you'd

think uh sarah egan reeves says but frank la rose the secretary of state and the crooked state house will still try some dirty tricks to block the amendment oh yeah you know they got something up her sleeve yeah so that's kind of what the the blue ohio folks were opining about obviously if we win tonight you want to take that victory you want to run down the field with it as far as you can but yeah We still have a very gerrymandered state legislature here. Now, with constitutional amendments, they can't just block it. But we also have a very Republican Supreme Court, you know, that has four Republicans on it. Three of them have publicly said that abortion is not a constitutional right.

And they said that when we still had Roe v. Wade in effect. So sure, I'd be more scared of what the courts are going to do than Frank LaRose in the state legislature when it comes to the abortion amendment specifically, because that's going to be in the Constitution now going forward, as long as this all holds tonight. But yes, absolutely right. She's, she's correct. The Republicans are really good at pulling shenanigans there in Ohio. So we just got to hope that they, you know,

hopefully see the writing on the wall that this issue is here to stay. Honey Bunny is for you on YouTube says, Let's Go Women. Thank you, Gen Z. Honey Bunny, is that a Pulp Fiction reference? Just rewatch that on a plane, guys. One of my favorite movies of my youth, and I hadn't seen it in a few years and watched it again the other day.

Movie hits so hard. That's neither here nor there, but her name's Honey Bunny. That actress who played Honey Bunny, by the way, the IMDB credit is Honey Bunny. They've looked up recently for a job I was on. She's been making a comeback. She was in a couple things recently. I saw it. Amanda Plummer?

Is that Amanda Plummer? I don't remember her name. Yeah, Dave Washerman's edging up to calling it for the Virginia Senate for the Democrats. So the forces of darkness and... Yeah, held it by. Also. How about that? We can say, fuck off to Glenn Youngen's presidential chances for a while, at least.

Oh, yeah, please. Lauren Russell Pank says hit that like button, folks. Thank you. Thank you, Lauren. The viewers have to remind me every week, Travis, because I literally never think to say that. Yeah, do the internet stuff. Smash that like button. Don't forget to subscribe to the channel.

Rate and review, five-star review, tell your mom and them. We appreciate you and's watching. Thanks, Lauren. And the chat has spoken. It is a man of plumber. Absolutely. I was glad I was right about that. I did get one thing wrong earlier, though,

and some good folks here pointed out that Adelae Stevenson and Dwight D. Eisenhower also ran against each other twice for president in 1952-1956, so I stand corrected. My only fun fact to add to that is that Adley-Stevenson was the basis for the president and one of my favorite dark comedies ever, Dr. Strange Love, yeah.

Yes, where they made the president, Merkin Muffley, and they were just like, what if Adley-Stevenson had won and had to deal with a nuclear war. So that is the basis. Travis, when's the last time you got corrected on a presidential fact, huh? These people are... Tonight, tonight was it.

Yeah, they're up to it. I can't even remember the last time. I'll go ahead and say right now, if you guys are, you know, if you're out there in the extended skee universe, if you listen to our other podcasts out there, specifically putting on airs, this week I'm putting on airs, Travis is going to be dishing out presidential facts left and right,

talking all things American presidents this, week I'm putting on airs. I got a bunch of questions for him. So we're going to test the limits of his knowledge. Look at that, Matt, with a damn graphic. I didn't even know he had that. He's on, yeah. He's on top of it.

So, yeah, that'll be out Friday. Anyway. Not enough votes in in Mississippi to talk about it, really. I saw, did you, so it, what, what, Presley? Brandon Presley? Yeah. Brandon Presley. Elvis's cousin.

I'm not joking. He's always his cousin. Yeah, right. Well, I know you're not joking because I saw, he tweeted earlier. it was like God damn it I wish I had it in front of me it was something like

I got my blue suede shoes on here for election night I'm gonna fuck you know whatever some other Elvis reference and ended with thank you thank you very much he crammed like five Elvis reference I was like man he's really riding that Elvis thing which like of course he is

and I don't blame him but I just thought thought it was funny it's like I wonder what Elvis would think of that because you know he looked like a pretty standard you know white Mississippi politician like he wasn't it didn't appear to be a sex machine or nothing.

But still. You're saying they're not going to make a Bos Lerman movie about the governor of Mississippi, if you were? Quick anecdote. I think maybe the dumbest, the single dumbest thing I've ever heard a redneck dip shit say

in my life. We were in Memphis. Me and Kay and the boys, her sister used to live down there. We were in Memphis and we went to this visitors center in Memphis. We just happened to stop there. because my toddlers needed to pee to use the bathroom and whatnot.

She takes them in there and in this big Memphis visitor center, front center as soon as you walk in, huge statue of Elvis Presley, holding a guitar looking super Elvisy, right? I'm staying outside the bathroom waiting on him to come up and I hear this like just a caricature of a redneck dumbass, right? Walks up with like his son, his like 13, 14 year old son, he stands there and he goes, who's that douchebag and the 14 year old goes I think that's Elvis daddy and he goes he goes he blew a raspberry at the notion of Elvis in Memphis it's like I'll never forget that as long as I live I don't think it's like you know

and that dude probably is voting tonight or you know well he will be next year he's presumably a Tennessee one of my countrymen but yeah never underestimate our capacity for idiocy in this country. Yeah, so I'm sure we'll talk about the follow-out from this on Patreon episode. And next week, if Ohio Republicans start trying to ignore the will of voters once again. So, yeah. Yeah, right. Travis, you got anything you want to let the people know about?

You know me. I love plugging the old flicks. We got American mayor. This is about me running for mayor of my hometown. I was 24 years old. had white guy dreadlock, spoiler alert, did not win, but you can check it out and see how just by running, you can also change the trajectory in your hometown. And of course, our good buddy Ed Larson, How America Killed My Mother, Trey, and our buddy Drew Morgan are both a part of that movie as well.

Always good to promote that one because Trump indirectly killed Ed's mom. I mean, Trump owned the casino where Ed's mom gambled away all our money. So the fact that Trump may be the candidate again just means this movie. is still relevant as ever. So please check out the flicks. Beyond that, all I got is my little Ohio flag here. And I'm just going to keep waving it with pride.
