What's up everybody? Welcome back. Happy Skews Day to you. It's December 3rd, 2024. I'm Trey. That's Mark. How you doing? Mark? You're feeling the holiday sports. Christmas, you get fired up. Yeah. My wife finally got me to start watching Christmas movies. We watched Hot Frosty the other day. The Netflix one about the sexy snowman. It was fun. I never heard of that, but that does sound, that does sound neat.

What's your all-time favorite Christmas movie? Christmas vacation, I think. Mine, too. That's also mine. That was our traditional yearly watch with me and my dad and my sister. We watched that movie every year growing up. And it's one, you know, still holds up, still hilarious to me. this day. Randy Quaid

hit him when Cousin Eddie Cousin Eddie's introduction to that movie like I don't think there's any other scene where a character comes out like spitting more fire just like just throwing just nothing but fastballs one or after another from the time he shows up to that entire introductory scene it's so

goddamn shame that he's insane it's kind of on point for what we're going to be talking about tonight. Got some few lunacy coming up and I'm sure Randy Quaid is super into all of that. Yeah. Yeah, we're talking about Trump's nominee to fill a non-vacid role running the FBI, which is a guy's already sitting in that chair, it's not supposed to be able to be removed.

Whatever, it doesn't matter. Cash Patel, one of the funnier dangerous lunatics that Trump's trying to give power to. So real quick, the FBI, it's not supposed to be like cabinet offices and stuff. The FBI director, it's supposed to be like 10-year terms. Right. Isn't that a similar thing with the D-Bag who runs the mail now, the postal? service wasn't that a saying so like and Biden didn't replace that guy right like he stayed in the problem the the postal service is a separate quasi private entity which is overseen by a

government board the board can fire dejoi lewis de joy the president can't so i of all the things they didn't bother getting done i'm not even worried about the fucking post office right now but yeah um i wanted before you get the show i want to talk about sall korea for a minute you follow today's event today well tomorrow's events tomorrow, it's tomorrow there. So what happened? Yesterday, I couldn't remember which way it went. So tonight, which is this morning.

Right. Tuesday night in South Korea, there was kind of an attempted coup. The president who is a guy named Yun, he was elected as the face of an anti-feminist reactionary backlash, which feels familiar. He went on TV late tonight this morning and declared martial law. This will also sound familiar to you. He vowed to eliminate anti-state forces as he struggles against an opposition

that controls Parliament and that he accuses of sympathizing with communist North Korea. All right. His basic beef, as far as I can tell, like, because the opposing party controls parliament, he's just basically gridlock. They won't have his budget.

Plus, there's an ethics investigation into his wife's handbag. And like... Yeah. It's worth overthrowing a government for installing yourself as dick your people are mad about it. All these guys are the fucking.

I'm not insane, man. My wife's purse. I got to over to the government because people are getting nosy about my wife's purse. All right. So the reaction is what I want to talk about because it was immediate and forceful, even though it happened late night there. Lee, John Young, you know, the first name is the last name over there. So he's called the Lee. He's the leader of the opposition party, which is also called the Democratic Party there.

He put out a statement said, tanks, armored personnel characters, and soldiers with guns and knives will rule the country. The economy will collapse irretrievably. my fellow citizens please come to the National Assembly and they did um people showed up in force to confront uh and shame a bunch of like police and troops who weren't even really clear what was I saw photos they had blue this blue training mags they did a lot of them didn't have live ammunition and so which is good of course and obviously like I don't know if they would have wanted to pull the trigger but like having a military their views is to shoot his own citizens is a kind of important point in fending off autocracy, which is what I was thinking about watching all this.

There's like also, there was a coup or coup attempt to Turkey in 2016 where the military was told it was a training exercise. They also didn't have light of ammunition. So it's going to take a while to sort out what actually happened here. But Lee, anyway, the leader of Democratic Party, he live streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to get around military barricades so he could vote to overturn the president's martial law. I was just thinking about that trying to imagine Nancy Pelosi doing.

poor crew on January 6th. Right. That's I was going to say, it just feels like if this same thing happens in America, our Democratic Party would just be like, well, they, but they can't do that, though. And then just like, release an official statement, I'd be like, this isn't, they're not supposed to do that. Someone do something. And then they'll just do it.

And then that would be that. Yeah, but I saw people on Reddit saying, like, it was something about whether or not the military, the main military, I don't know, Secretary, Secretary of Defense. or the equivalent was on the side of this autocratic president or not, and that that would matter. But it pretty much, it's like, I mean, it's like basically over. And like, he did this and they've like squashed it. Yeah, he did agree to, they overrode, probably could override martial law there.

They did that. And then this, tomorrow morning when he woke up, Wednesday morning in South Korea, He put out statement saying he had withdrawn his order for martial law. But kind of what happened in the meantime was like a reverse January 6th where like the legislators were like barring the cops from getting into the building and spraying them with fire extinguishers. These are special forces in like city police. I also learned a new word in South from South Korean.

It's called a jussies. These are like, like an affectionate word for like uncles, pre-pappas. All the uncles went down to the capital. We're shaming, like, the 18-year-old conscripts for being assholes. Because they have a living, they just skipped the military dictatorship in 1980s. A lot of them have a living memory of what that's like and don't fucking want it again. U.S. backed military dictatorship, by the way. I was watching, like, because that happened late night over there and no one saw it coming because, again, it's just about his wife's purse and budget shit.

Like, there was an American journalist for a tech outlet I read called The Verge, who was over there for, I don't know, a conference or some tech stuff. She's like, well, fuck it. I speak, she's Korean-American, Sarah John. So she went down to the capital to cover it. She was drunk. Yeah, she's been partied. So she's live, she's live blue-skying the fucking coup attempt.

And it was just like, the whole thing was such a, like, I find it, these kind of things are both farcical and tremendously meaningful when people, like, resist, I feel like to me. But, like, the funniest part to me was like the lady night, the Ministry of Education put out a statement saying they decided not to close schools. The kids didn't even get a coup day off. So, yeah, like I said, you've lifted martial law. But I wanted to point out this out, considering what's happening in our country right now, it took two and a half hours for the National Assembly, their parliament,

to gather a majority of members, 190 out of 300, and generate a unanimous vote 190 out of 190 to vote down the emergency martial law order. Right. Yeah, and it's just like, you just know that that would not happen here. like that we just experienced it like a january 6th congress went home for a long weekend didn't start impeachment proceedings for a week which then took another month to do and then when they handed off the senate for the trial the senate went home for valentine's day because they had plans with their spouses i'm like urs or whatever but it's uh still i mean just that this shit

has even happened you know vibes vibes are great vibes around the world right now so it's like This dude's authoritarian and was elected as like a backlash to a version of woke-ism over there, right? I'm sure that's not what they call it, but similar thing. And immediately tries to just stage a coup, but they managed to put it down. But it's still, it's just, you know, shit's just weird. It looks like they're going to try to impeach him, which they're going to get done. We'll know the result by the end of the weekend. Of course, like they have like a conservative, like Supreme Court kind of body.

They get to decide whether the impeachment and removal is upheld. But like, there's a fascinating country because it's a fascinating country because it's seem to alternate back and forth between, like, you know, centrist, liberal governments who do technocratic stuff like our Democrats do, and then insane right-wing reaction areas, they immediately have to put in jail. So like, you said it was a reaction to a, it was an anti-feminist reaction. Is this that, what's it called? Is this that movement? Isn't that a Korean thing where women are like sexually boycotting men or whatever? Do you know what I'm talking about? Because I've seen women in this country talk about, it's got a name, but I can't remember what

it's called but like i don't chat has gotten the uh forgotten women or whatever leftover women um so so but i don't really everything i know about south korean culture and politics i can fit on a note postcard but i do know that they got their whole country into like internet cafes they're all internet addicted there's a huge in cell movement and this guy and eun was known as the face of the in cells kind of he was kind of like the it's called four b or four nose and it's a radical feminist movement in South Korea, it refers to, it's defining four tenets, which I'll start with the Korean language term for no, it's, and the four things are its proponents, its followers do not date men, get married to men, have sex with men, or bear children with men. And that's the four

things that they're refusing to do. And that's, I just said it's anti-feminist backlash. I wonder if it was a backlash to that specifically or whatever. Yeah. Globally, young men have agreed the government should assign me a girlfriend. And what they what they won't do to get one is work out, burst their teeth, read a book and be nice. Yeah. Well, you know, it's just they're owed that. You know what I mean? That's how all their pap balls were.

It's how things have always worked. You just get a woman at some point because where else are they going to go? What else are they going to do? You know, but I guess they feel differently nowadays. I don't know. Shit is wild. But here we are continuing on with the show producer. Matt is with us doing a thing back there behind the scenes.

As for tonight's episode, as Mark already said, we'd be talking about the Trump's big appointee to head up the FBI. He's still trying to fill out his oops-all lunatics administration over there and just, you know, sliding new people in every day to one more crazy than the last. And this guy goes by the name of it.

Cash Patel, and he's got some truly wild shit in between the ears. But before we get to that, first, we begin, as always, with the Daily Dumbass. Matt, graphic, please. Tonight's D.D., people who don't understand that the best way to deal with dumb bullshit is by doing even more dumb bullshit. This is everybody's favorite, the OG, Joe Manchin. As a father, I don't know if a father that wouldn't have done the same thing. What I would have done differently, and my recommendations, the council would have been,

why don't you go ahead and pardon Donald Trump for all his charges and make it, you know, it had been, it had gone down a lot more balanced, if you will. I'm just saying, wipe them out. What do you just does for his legacy? I don't know. From that standpoint, it makes it difficult. All right. That is classic Joe Mansion.

So the way to make life fair for Americans is, to balance your pardon of your own son with the pardon of the incoming president who's never going to suffer any legal repercussions for anything anyway, right? Like, there are only two people in America and they are Joe Biden and Donald Trump, and those are the people we should be worried about.

The reaction to, like, Biden pardoning Hunter was fucking insane. Like, let's look at this headline here that some, the economist put out. Joe Biden abused of medieval power to pardon his son.

Okay. I know. It may it sound like you invoke prima nocta or like that he beheaded his wife so you can remarry someone. He could give him a male heir. What the fuck is? Is it like the, you know, the thumb? You know, he held his thumb out and turns it up at the last second and spares his son. You know, that's a, that's a classic. That's even more, you know, that's even older than medieval right there. That's a antiquity shit. But yeah, I, the, I mean, I knew as soon as the news broke that he was doing this, I knew there would be an entertainer. reaction obviously like from the right because they react that way to everything but especially anything hunter biden or the biden crime family related i i i don't know i just i'm having trouble really caring very much about it i know that it's like i know that it's the same tank yeah well anyway go ahead it was just cute we'll get further into it we'll talk about right so here in reality talking about pardoning trump he's a convicted felon who just received a pardon basically that he preemptively granted himself by turning

the Supreme Court into his personal injury attorneys. And also in reality, like, we live in a deeply diseased society where presidents always pardoned people that are supportive of them or associated with them, like not just a short list, Ford pardoned Nixon. GHW Bush pardoned the Iran contra crew. Clinton pardoned Mark Rich and his half brother. Mark Rich was like, I don't forget he was doing money laundering for Iran or some shit. Trump pardoned, Bannon, Flynn, Roger Stone, and Jared, his son-in-law's father, Charles Kushner. Do you remember what Charles Kushner did, Trey? No.

He was being investigated by Chris Christie. It was going to his U.S. attorney for, like, financial fraud stuff, and his brother-in-law was going to testify against him. So he honey-trapped him with a male prostitute, filmed them having sex, and sent the videotape to his own wife, trying to blackmail him to not testify. I don't remember that at all. Yeah. And Trump just appointed, Trump appointed Charles, just appointed Charles Cushter, ambassador to to France. So.

It's kind of right. Didn't you tell, no, maybe I think Chow told me. It's like honey traps generally don't work in France. You ever heard that? It's like that strategy. Of adultery. Yeah, right. Pretty much.

Yeah. So that strategy doesn't, it's not efficacious in France I've heard. So. Well, congratulations. It's ironic or appropriate that this guy got that job. Yeah. So I guess he won't be able to blackmail anybody in France. But like, are we like, but he also was extremely.

blackmailable guy and like I don't know the CIA and the State Department are going to read their cables he probably shouldn't and go maybe go back to the 100 by like the hundred for a second like I can't figure out a reason I should give a shit right like go the the the the frauds and monsters to get pardoned regularly it's like like it feels like we can't have any sort of measured discourse in this country where it's like like to me my take is it's not ideal but whatever right but right yeah like in a vacuum removing all context of anything like a president pardoning his own son because it's its son or whatever. It's like, yeah, it's like a bad look.

But with Hunter Biden in particular, everything about him has been so farcical and undeserved most of it, like on this level. I remember when it first happened, we were talking about it. And we had all these quotes and all these lawyers and stuff saying, like the things that Hunter was charged with, the paperwork shit, like no one had ever been charged.

People don't even get charged with, let alone, you know, privileged people. Like even poor people don't get charged with the shit that he got charged with in this country. they'll charge four people with everything. So it's, you know, it was... There's literally never been, like, one of his charges was like, he had to fit out a federal gun,

federal form to buy a gun and a form asked if you're a drug addict. He lied in the form saying it wasn't a drug addict. But drug addicts lie about, like, no one else has ever been prosecuted for that. Right, exactly. But it is one of those things where it's like, and I know that in Biden's official statement he put out about it, I don't remember exactly his word him, but he basically talked about that.

And he's like, look, this was always kind of bullshit. And it was politically motivated. and like them them latching on that it's like oh so now they admit that things are politically now they care about you know weapon the weaponized justice system and partisan politics and the justice system like they're you know they'll turn it around that way when it's like obviously very different but that's just not how anything ever works you know what I mean they'll definitely latch on to right it's like like I said like I really don't care but if since people want to you know make me think about it. it I guess my thought process is trying to have a sane discussion like I was watching like there's like a right-to-die bill being debated in the UK last week and there was a same measured discussion about it it wasn't partisan because these things don't break down upon on conservative liberal tracks over there generally and then they everybody voted their conscience and I was like oh man I know they're generally as crazy as us often but that

was like beautiful to see Prude Leaf was on TV talking about it from baking show I'm just like, okay. When's the last time we had anything like that over here that you can think of? Like an issue like that that comes up and it plays out that way. Because it feels like in this country, it's like any time some new things and some new like debate enters the public discourse. It's like the lines get drawn. It gets, you know, codified in one way. Like this side is what the liberals think.

this is what the, you know, conservatives think, and then everybody just, like, goes to their, you know, separate ends of the dance for and just operate that way. Right way media plugs it into a cultural war framework. Outcomes some bullshit and everybody has to take a side on it. Where it's just like, that's probably fine, not a big deal. So anyway, all my thoughts about this are as follows, all right?

The president probably shouldn't pardon a family member for crimes that he definitely did actually commit, even though if the charges were bullshit. Also, if he had a different last name, he would have been prosecuted at all because, as Biden pointed out, It's just because he's his son. He was prosecuted. And Joe obviously has some guilt about that.

But also, way less people should be in prison in general. Mercy is good. We're far too bloodthirsty as a society. But on that note, just letting Hunter out feels unfair. And a big disgrace here is that Joe Biden's only pardoned 26 people as of the time he pardoned Hunter. The American criminal justice system is like packed with people that are treated way more unfairly than Hunter fucking Biden. Yes.

Yeah, that's the part that, you know, is hard to reconcile or whatever. Is that, like you said, there's, well, shitload of people out there who definitely deserve a pardon as much or more so than Hunter Biden did. And so it's like him only doing it for his son. Although, I mean, he's not going to, it's not ever going to get to that level. But like generally, don't they, every president, they always do their pardons right before they league, right? But generally, isn't it like closer to like the end, like closer to the next inauguration or something like that? Like so. Right.

It's usually around Christmas or whatever. Yeah. Right. So, you know, he might throw a few more out there. who knows but that's like the whole like people have been saying it's like fuck you know you got all these powers now joe you're a lame duck fucking take the gloves off go bananas break with out you know what I mean break with some of these norms you're so tied to or whatever and it's like this feels like an example of that but it's like if this is the only right mommy does it

is the only thing they use it for that also it's like no man yeah keep rolling I would put out, do it and put out statements there just like, yeah, fuck if you like her now. What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do? Fire me? You know what I mean? Just talk shit, but rub it in her face. I don't give a damn, but don't just stop with just getting your boy out of jail, but probably

would. Yeah. But another thought I had was like the class of people who probably, like even though I think way less people should be in prison, the class of people there should be more of in prison or white collar people who commit paperwork crimes like Hunter did. That's a good point. Yeah. Like, oh, Hunter, just Hunter is like one of his charges was for lying on

taxes. And I paid back the money and he paid interest penalties or whatever. So most people don't go to prison in that defense. But I think cheating her taxes is bad. But also there are paperwork crimes that have real victims like lying on an EPA report or laundering money for drug cartels. Right. So that's part of it. I talked about white collar crime on an episode of putting on areas of Corey once. And so I was like doing some reading about it. And there's like a business week article or something that was like touting the fact that white collar crime is just down tremendously, they were saying, in recent years, or whatever. No one investigates it.

Right. Or charge, yes. It's like clearly that's, it's like when COVID numbers were down in Florida or whatever because they weren't testing anybody or acknowledged that it exists. And that's clearly what's happening in the white collar crime too, but they were trying to, you know, frame it as like, no, you think, not even that big of a deal. It barely even happens. But it's just allowed to happen.

Talking about, you brought up the norms thing. Talk about how we're dying of norms. The real way to fucking solve this problem, would Trump, appoint the special counsel right before he left office just to harass Hunter and Biden just let him be in place for appearances sake. And the real thing was like, you want to stop the weaponation to justice. In this sort of environment where it's both sides of them all the way down, you kind of just have to do the right thing and hope it sorts itself out. And letting this guy just fuck around with tax dollars to harass one guy happens to be your son was probably stupid and

you should not have let him do it, but whatever. So another part of this is like the media reaction to it as if like precedent matters anymore, not understanding we're through the looking class. Like, here's a piece Trump uses Hunter Biden pardon to hint potential clemency for January 6th, insurrectionists. He was going to do this anyway. He literally campaigned on doing this. You don't need to play stupid. Right. I did my, to me, that was like a, I thought everyone agreed that was a foregone conclusion was that he was going to do that, whether this happened or not. And he has the absolute power to do so. There's nothing anyone he can do to stop him. And, you know, I don't know, maybe it'll be fine. Maybe all just go back to their lives. He's

you know, running car dealerships and doing real estate scams. So, yeah, so he finally did break one norm. And it's kind of showed maybe he sort of gets it now in some ways. This just shows a little bit of somebody getting it that like, like, like, as far as him pardoning Hunter, I don't, I think when you were sent to be president of the United States, you sent up to make some extremely stupid immoral choices. and no one made you be president you agreed to voluntary

to check into hell as soon as you die to be the U.S. president and die stressed out, right? So, like, part of that includes maybe letting your own son fucking die in prison, okay?

That's the deal with the devil you made to have power. You don't get to just do whatever the fuck you want unless you're Donald Trump, right? But, like, also, as a human, I understand if you, like, if you'd let your own worst enemy

who promised to start tribunals with being your kid's jailer, then your faith in democracy. is just fucking cute and adorable. But despite the right-wing memes, I need to point out here that, like, Jeffrey Epstein died in prison while Trump was president. And Bill Barr, who knew Jeffrey Epstein since he was a kid,

was the attorney general. So I don't blame him, but like, why is this the one? Do you know? Like, yeah, well, I mean, I don't know. I mean, I feel like, yeah, I think it's pretty simple. I mean, you already said it. I mean, it's his son. He feels some guilt about it because he feels like it's only happening to him

because he's his dad, which is true. And also, I do, maybe not. Maybe it wouldn't be. But I do feel like it would be different if the circumstances of his crime and everything were different, you know. Like if it was, I do think he also has that leg to stand on, at least for some people. The whole like, don't, literally no one else even gets charged with this. This is bullshit to begin with, you know, so.

You're right, but you're still talking in facts. Like, this is politics. You know what I'm saying? Like, let's like, like, like, but also like, like, if you should have paired Hunter Hunter's pardon with a pardon of everyone in prison for non-violent drug offenses, in federal prison for non-violent drug offenses, or like Joe Biden is technically anti-death penalty, right? Remember at the end of Donald Trump's first term when they did a speed run and tried to execute everybody on federal death row, even though the federal government hadn't executed anybody in like decades because they wanted to kill people?

He could commute all their sentences to life in prison right now. Right. Yeah, I mean, that would hit for me. I would love that. Right. I agree. Yeah, that is the frustrating part. that you just expect that that isn't going to happen.

You could also be signing a bunch of executive orders to Trump proof more shit, you know, which I don't know. But like, but also like the idea that the pardon is going to stop them from going after Hunter is also kind of adorable and proof he doesn't get it. Yeah, I wonder about that too, because it's like a, you know, I'm law dumb. Is it a thing where it's like, it only applies to this specific thing? Like any other thing they want to like come after him for whatever they can or is it, because I don't know how that works. give a blanket pardon for a time period that ended like midnight last night or something or whenever he issued it like December 1st like so like he can be charged for any crime he commits going forward of course right but also like what's going to stop them from like fabricating a crime

or figure out something he did they can overcharge him before he did this time right it's also like does everybody remember the supreme court decision that let's the president murder now like it's got it's pretty funny to partner a pardon hunter in an environment where trump's remaining now legal revenge scheme is just fucking kill him yeah it's one that i feel like another on that note like the idea like I mean make them prove it otherwise make them prove me wrong but I feel like if Biden did try, I'm not obviously

I'm talking about sending SEAL Team 6 after Trump or whatever but if he did try to do something extreme because of that Supreme Court ruling like you're saying it's like oh they pardon Hunter they'll fucking find a way they'll still go after and they'll do whatever they want anyway I kind of feel that way about that ruling too you know what I mean like that it applies to Trump they meant it to apply to Trump and no one else

Because who's it going to, who's going to have to determine that if he did try to, like, utilize that? It would go back to the same Supreme Court, right? And they would just be like, this was not an official act, clearly. Right. And so, like, they'd just find some way around, like, nothing, there are no fucking rules or anything anymore. Right. But Joe Biden's going to end up in prison anyway, probably. So, like, I'm not saying you shouldn't do it.

I'm just saying. No, I'm just saying, like, you think through the ramifications of all this shit. It's like, why do I care if Joe Biden gets arrested for murder? I don't fucking care. you know I'm not advocating anything here don't dress me FBI as a good service I'm just saying like like you think through this shit like Japan's 150 years old he's gonna be dead soon fucking do stuff like but like so it but I'm about how to actually protect Hunter if you want to keep him safe because this isn't going to work like you probably want to use like a series of like LLCs to hide the money trail to buy them like a nice quiet house off the grid and one of those suspiciously blonde neighborhoods in Argentina but like because they want to get them they'll get him you got to remember on right wing media Hunter is something like Jeffrey Epstein, Cobra Commander,

and Le Schief from James Bond movies all rolled in one. So I guess let's talk about the guy who's going to be leading the effort to take down

Hunter El Chapo Osama bin Biden who is Cash Patel. I'm kind of surprised I haven't heard any of them use Osama bin Biden

or anything like that that kind of it can inflows well you know but anyway it does yeah that fun

that's fun thinking of it so so again we already have an FBI director who was also appointed by Donald Trump a few years ago who's supposed to still be in the job well everyone's just sort of ignoring that fact

and like that if anybody else did this, it'd be a huge scam. Do you know that we've never had a Republican head of the FBI trade? I mean, a Democrat right, yeah. Yes, I did know that only because of this having come up. Yeah, right.

It's one of the things. It's like even when they're appointed by Democrats, whatever, right, it's always been Republicans that get the job. Because that's the type of thing they do. It's like, well, that's, you know, reaching across the aisle or whatever the hell but yeah as we tell you about cash Patel tonight I want you to keep in head that

keep in your head that it's definitely going to be hilarious when in 2028 when it or 229 when a Democrat tax office they keep Cash Patel on because of norms right I mean that's what's happened with the current one right like you said the current FBI director was appointed by Trump yeah so he just yeah and he wasn't crazy because that's right right right because that's how it's supposed to work but Trump don't give a shit I'm supposed to work I do I think they might have relented because he was trying to get around anybody having FBI background checks to be in the Trump, Trump II administration. But I think they were lented on that.

But it was, like, deeply funny to me, you're going to put a guy in charge of the FBI. I couldn't pass an FBI background check. But we're once again just permanently at the intersection of stupid and dangerous. And we've got to figure out which way it's going to go. Right. So one thing I want to start with, everybody should know about Cash Patel is he used to work with. Let's watch this clip if you got it, Matt. It'll be self-explanatory.

And it's simply as follows. What did you do in the Trump administration? We're going to do the opposite border, the Forever Wars, the narcotics trade. And yes, I do know a little something about human trafficking. The human trafficking portfolio fell underneath me in the counterterrorism shop where I was ahead. And I worked with Tim Ballard at the White House to stamp out human and child sex trafficking. So do you remember Tim Ballard, right? Jim Ballard is the guy from that Jim Cavazel movie that we talked about.

Yeah, Jim Cavazel. What was it called? Sound of Fury or something. Sound of one of those. it said, I'll have to look it up. He was the head of a group called Operation Underground Railroad that would crowd fund these live stream stunts where they do raids to save traffic children, which they never actually did.

They actually ended up like what they were doing basically was paying. They were buying children and act like they were saving them, but what they were doing was priming the problem increasing demand for traffic children. Anyway, Ballard got removed from Operation Underground Railroad because what he was doing was actually doing sex trafficking because the women he would take with it to play his wives to all these foreign country raids. he'd prod them into sex after flying them there and taking away their passports or whatever because they needed to really pretend to be his wife.

It's always the ones you most expect, isn't it? Right. So as far as who cash is, he's from New York, grew up Hindu. He went to the University of Richmond undergrad, just like my uncle did, go spiders. He went to law school. Then it was a public defender, then a federal public defender. They went to work to the Department of Justice in their national security. One of their national security teams.

and he was a liaison to a joint special operations command, so I imagine his job was like writing memos around how you should shoot more civilians because it's good. No, look, Defender, that's kind of wild, right? That's sort of unexpected, I feel like. Yeah, he could have, he had a real, could have been a good guy.

Could have been, could have been, could show us to go the other way. Maybe he, like, started to go down a good guy path and was like, this is bullshit. I'm not getting any fucking, any good perks or kickbacks or anything than this. So I fucking. Yeah. From there, he went to be a staffer for,

Evan Nunes in the house. If you remember Nunes, before he left to go to run true social, but he's the congressman who tried to subpoena Twitter to tell him who is running an account pretending to be

his pet cow. Remember that? I mean, I remember him, but I don't remember that part of it, no. I don't know how you keep

all this insanity in your head over the past eight years. It don't hit, dude. It does not. I think you would run out of room at some point. Yes.

Yes. So when he worked for Nunes, one of his big things was he went hard after the FBI. for its investigation and the Trump campaign's connections with Russia. So I put him on Trump's radar, so he got hired. The first Trump administration, he worked for the National Security Council,

a director of national intelligence, and the Secretary of Defense. He had all three of those jobs in like a year and a half, so he obviously really hits the work with. Patel authored a memo at one point, arguing that it was disloyal for then-defense secretary Mark Esper to oppose a request by Trump to deploy military troops against American citizens who were protesting police violence back during the George Ford protests. Right.

Right. So Trump wanted to deploy the military against the George Floyd protesters. The Secretary of Defense at the time was like, I don't know if we should do that. And Cash Patel put out a memo, it was like, hey, stop being a bitch. Right. Yeah, you're being disloyal. Who cares about the morality or ethical nature of it? It's like the king has the decree that you should do this and therefore you should do it. Like the constitutionality or even be able to think two steps ahead, what comes next?

Do you want to live in a country where the military shoots unarmed civilians in the streets? You know, like that the downstream effects of all this stuff that apparently like only 98% of people, none of whom we're in government, can think about. So here's, he's also a conspiracy theorist we're going to talk about. Here's, here's, here's cash on appearing on Glenn Beck's protests, which I never believed that the CIA killed Kennedy. No. You're talking to a guy that's read the entire JFK file. You've seen all the secret stuff? I've seen all of that.

And I've seen the seven pages of the 9-11 report. I've seen it all. You don't say that to people that you can't tell what you saw. All right. So it's deeply funny that he thinks the CIA would kill the president and write it down. Yeah. Like the real problem, like criminal conspiracy. Right.

Because the real problem with whatever was going on the CIA in the 60s is not that necessarily the CIA killed JFK. It's that they can't honestly tell you they didn't because nobody. would know. They're operating like little terror cells and shit. So like anyway it's not good

I'm not going on JFK a rabbit hole but like these guys cannot help but run their fucking mouths dude like it's like they like

that's a big like these are people we want to put in charge of our national secrets and he's going on fucking a Beck's podcast and talking about

the JFK assassination bragging about it yeah about how you release it release it so all of us get to see it don't fucking

allude to shit you can't anyway whatever um so it's probably i would have maybe not this dude's actually been in these positions but that's the type of thing i feel like guys like that would say and it's like what it is is it's like something they saw posted on some forum they're on that like professes to be the full unredacted you know copy of these files or whatever they found on the dark web and then read them all or whatever and he's like i've seen the whole thing i've seen all of it

you wouldn't believe in the information that's in there because that's how a lot of conspiracy theorists work yeah yeah i would like I would like to see the 9-11 report, though, if you have it. So the part of the pages they took out about Saudi Arabia. So Patel has a sideline or the last few years when he wasn't working in government when he was like he's been hawking like brain pills and shit on the internet. He also likes to write children's books about Donald Trump. Sure.

He's read three children. Any of these children's books rage against liberal groomers indoctrinating this nation's children with their political ideology and thus ruin America? in America in doing so, because that would be about right. I know what they're about. It's just funny that they, you know, we're the ones that indoctrinate the kids and all that. And then they put out all these crazy-ass propaganda kids books

where Trump is a fucking king or whatever. Right. That's what it is. He's written three children's books that are basically pro-Trump fan fiction. The first is called Plot Against the King. Described by the publisher as a fantastical retelling of Hillary's horrible plot against Trump and features a character named Cash, the distinguished discoverer defending King

Donald Trump. There's the cover right there. You see Hillary in the background. They call Hillary Quinton versus Donald the King. I get it. Honestly, like this wouldn't bother me except like this is really how they see the world.

Like American politics is like a Manichian struggle between two people as opposed to a country where 330 million people have to live and get their kids to school. So also these people poor, these people's poor fucking kids being gifted these books like I'd rather get socks for Christmas but you know that's in their fucking

stockings yeah that sucks man it's where the wild things are hungry hungry caterpillar you know where the sidewalk ends not this shit yeah yeah comic books um the second book in the series is called the plot against the king 2000 mules which is of course to reference

Dinesh D'Souza's documentary which he just had to put out because of a lawsuit he had announced it was fake I was about to ask you about that because yeah I saw that yeah because of a lawsuit he had to like publicly announce that that was all bullshit. He just tried to bury it on his website somewhere or something, but of course people saw it and it got posted everywhere and it got that. But yeah, he basically just had to acknowledge like, yeah, all that data and stuff we said

we had in the documentary. He's like, well, it wasn't really. Yeah. Not actually true. Yeah, he should probably address it to Rudy Giuliani and the $148 million he lost for believing it. So anyway, Ann Coulter was dunking all over to Nash on Twitter today. So it's fun time to be him.

So the blurb on 2000 mules contains a, quote, terrible scheme to elects Sleepy Joe instead of King Donald on Choosing Day. And plot against the King three, the return of the king, the story is about the journey of the Maga King as he returns to take down comma la la la and reclaim his throne. I had to do good time just like, just imagining like Laura Luma reading these to Trump while he falls asleep. Yeah, sucking on his tiny little thumb. Yeah. I mean, you know that these hit for him. You know, I'm sure he's read them and things. Well, I don't know about read them. I'm sure he's flipped through them.

These presumably kids, books, they've got a lot of pictures, a lot of, you know, easily digestible kind of cartoonish images and stuff. I'm sure that, you know, and not mostly of Trump as a king. So he's probably some of his favorite pieces of American literature, I would imagine. But probably, you know, previous to this, the one book he always kept in his shelf was mine comp, so they can join it right side by side. So he also, like, one of the books is about, like,

refuting the steel dossier which like I'm sure kids want to read about rushed intelligence and pee tapes and shit

he signed 10 copies of his children's book about King Donald with the Q&M motto where we want where we go one we go all

with a hashtag the fact they're still using hashtags in 2024 depresses me but like so he's because he's a deep

Q&on believer like what's going to happen inside FBI headquarters and he tries to put out like an interpol

red notice to have Tom Hanks extradited to stand trial for Pizza Gate. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, no, I know, man. I mean, it's wild to think of me. It got like the insane shit that we know that Q&M people believe. And now this dude is in charge,

there's going to be in charge of the FBI. And it's like, what is, I mean, you say something like that and it sounds insane, but we live in the era of insanity. So what does happen when they attempt some shit like that? It's going to get, it's going to get, nuts. Yeah. So, like, he goes, he's been

on a lot of Q&O and podcasts and live streams and shit. And it's not that he agrees with all of it. Like, he just, like, they made me quote here. Whether it's the cues of the world who I agree with some of what he does, and I disagree with some of what he does, if it allows people to gather and focus on the truth and the facts, I'm all for it. He said this. While

one part he did believe was the Qadon conspiracy theory that the election was stolen in 2020 with Italian and military satellites, to turn Trump votes to Joe Biden votes in 2020. Well, it's important to focus on the truth and the facts. Right. Yeah. I'm not sure why I tell you.

I've never really figured out why Italy would give a military satellite to Joe Biden, who wasn't in power in 2020 to swing the election to him, but whatever. It's just hilarious to be we're going to be doing a deep state nons hunt at a time when the government's run by half the people who got platinum status on the Lillian Express. Right. Yeah. this doesn't really have to do anything

but on True Social he also promoted the use of pills that he said reverse the effects of COVID-19 vaccines if you throw this ad up Matt he posted on True Social I believe and it says it's a spike protein recovery system you were immune to the propaganda but are you immune

to the shedders so they're worried about me giving them whatever's in my vaccine I guess you're selling this stuff again these are people it's like I can't put that in my body I don't know what's in that we don't know what's in that we can't put that in our body or whatever, then they'll snatch this shit up, a spike protein

recovery system. It's like, well, no way, that's not legit. But yeah, it's a, yeah, you take this pill and it makes you immune to all the 5G that me and Mark are putting off at at the Walmart or whatever when they walk by us. So, you can see how it would be important to have that.

Yeah. But yeah, it's just just all the classic things, right? Like that, like you said, the brain pills and all that time. I'm sure he's got some my pillow fucking promo codes and all that stuff he uh so

when he goes on these Q&on shows and other right wing Steve Bannis podcast and all stuff to hawk his various products and merch and his books children's books COVID pills dick pills whatever he wears a he likes to wear beanies with his personal brand on him

which because his name's cash it's K dollar sign H cool so a lot of us are hoping for these people's incompetence to sort of save us but like their competence is also fucking dangerous like one thing happened during trump's first term um when he worked uh worked to the national security council this 27 year old american named philip walton was kidnapped

from his family's farm they owned uh near niger's border with nigeria and we're going to send some seals to go get him and uh potentially was tasked with getting clearance from the Nigerian government to get to use their airspace right for seals to fly helicopter over to get to Niger he said they had it when they had it they didn't realize until the very last minute they were about to get seals shot down over Nigeria and they went and yelled

him for fucking lying because what all he had to do is pick up a phone call and make sure they didn't get our troops killed he was like he said quote if nobody got hurt who the fuck cares. I'm like, because they almost did because you fuck, you didn't even fuck up. You didn't even try. You lied. Yeah. Um, yeah. I mean, so we talked about in last week's episode and a other one since the election, it's like one of the only hopes it seems like we have is that like you said that their incompetence can protect us from some of the worst of their designs or whatever. But that also is still bad. Like you're saying, these people, some of these

are like important jobs, at least ostensibly and just like virulent incompetency at the top but it's still bad, and it's a shame that that is still seems like a preferable alternative to, you know, them competently being able to execute the things that they want to happen. So it's a sad thing of affairs. Not if you're that kidnapped farmer or a seal shot down by a snarmer by Nigerian military. So like, so speaking of this to the incompetent stuff, Trump tried to give Patala job at the FBI. in his first term, and Bill Barr is like, fuck no when he's attorney general

because he's like, he has no law enforcement experience, really, and the agents are not going to listen to him, right? They're just not. He can try to fire them over. They have a lot of civil service protections unless they change that and pensions and shit, but like you can't make people

not laugh at you behind your back when you're a silly moron, okay? So here's Fox News trying to talk about our totally unfair take this is unqualified. Watch this. that you just got to believe this is the right guy for the job. By the way, they're trying to say he's not qualified. The guy's qualifications are more than enough to run this agency.

There you have it. Seems pretty cut and dry to me. Mark, pretty clear. What they have on the screen right here, what they have on the screen right here is a two bullet point resume made up entirely of non-Senate Confirmable Lickspittle jobs that Donald Trump gave him for sucking Donald Trump's dick. Those are his qualifications. Alongside a headshot featuring prominently some of the craziest crazy eyes.

I've seen a minute, by the way. Right. That's the picture. That's Michelle Bachman-level crazy eyes right there. How about that blast from the past? You guys remember her? Anyway. Yeah.

It's worth noting that's the picture he'd choose for himself. These people want us to think of them as totally scary when they're just buffoons, but whatever, I'm through being scared of them. They're going to do whatever they're going to do. Yeah. Well, it's like you said about the agents, you can't make the agents respect him or listen to them or whatever. And I've also said before, having worked in the federal government, that's another thing that I try to like find some measure of hope in is knowing that that, you know, again, I worked with people competent, smart people who knew what they were doing who had been there for a long time and had worked through all these different regimes and all this stuff. And they just kept doing their job because they actually know how to do it.

But of course, a big part of Project 2025 was ostensibly to be to, you know, like maliciously replace all those people with people. who are just, you know, sick of fancy and yes-man or whatever. And obviously, if that happens, it'll be different. But like you said, they have protections in place. If those people are still there, that will also have some effect in terms of mitigation of the lunatic bullshit bullshit, I think. Because, you know. Yeah. Yeah, when they tell him to, when he tells the FBI, a hostage rescue team to go arrest Tom Hanks,

they're going to, like, slow walk it to the fax machine, then say they couldn't find him, to say there wasn't gas in the helicopter, all that shit. So we talked about, so far we talked about who he is, basically, but let's talk about what he wants to do, okay? Basically, he wants to be the new J. Edgar Hoover, except with a much more powerful FBI, who is going to do more stuff than, like, think about harassed how much more effectively J. Edgar Hoover could have harassed Martin Luther King with our modern level of surveillance and drones and shit. Yeah. Yeah. So it went on Steve Bann's pocket. Quote, we will go and find the conspirators, not just in government, but in the media.

Yes, we're going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens to help Joe Biden rigged presidential elections. I don't like that. Yeah. We're going to come after you, whether it's criminally or civilly. Now, to understand what, it's hard to understand what they're saying a lot of times. When they talk about election rigging, they're not just talking about flipping the machines and not just talking about, like, extending ballot access to mail-in ballots and stuff. They also mean that it's unfair to have media, it's unfair election interference to have media coverage that

criticizes Donald Trump, right? Right, yeah, right. So that's how you get to a place where we're going to try to put, I don't know, fucking MSNBC lady with the show. Rachel Maddow. Like, I'll put Rachel Maddow on a camp, I guess, or trying to do it.

I know. That's what's why I said. I'm glad me and you were so low on the totem pole. You know what I mean? Oh, they won't get around to us, yeah. I mean, maybe we're easier to fuck with it because I don't have any money or power, so they could disappear at me pretty easily.

Do you remember when, in 2020, when black vans, they're ostensibly run by DHS agents were disappearing people off the street in cities like Portland and Chicago during the protest? You ever heard of the oversight about that? Anything happened?

Right. Yeah, that was wild. Wasn't when I'm like a soccer mom or something like that? Like a nice, well-to-do white lady got snatched up or something? I feel like I remember, yeah. Do you remember when, like, an Antifa guy killed like a right-wing counter-protester in self-defense who had shot at him

and then Holman security agents showed up at his house and executed him in front of it when he hadn't drawn his weapon and then would you remember any hearings or anything about that? No. Well, that's fair. I mean, that's pretty, you know, that's pretty part for the course with any level of law enforcement in this country, you know, show up.

Right. But shouldn't somebody be interested? I should he also shot that guy's dogs first, you know, as protocol dictates. Right. Yeah, so we just So the Praetorian Guard Went four years without a leader Now they're about to get him back

And now we're gonna see who else Think about it would feel like shooting I guess I don't think Most pedal agents are like quiet professionals Who just want to go to work They're 9 to 6 And then have dinner with their families I don't think they want to do this bullshit

But like I just The extreme aversion to any sort of accountability No matter how bad someone fucks up Is crazy to me And I don't understand why we live in this fucking world Speaking of people that, you know, are about to escape accountability, talking about the January 6 rioters, as FBI director, this headline here, Cash Patel could offer January 6 rioters retribution against their enemies.

So, Patel was chief of staff to acting defense secretary, Christopher Miller on January 6th. And he's, despite being in Washington and being a part of administration, he's been pushing the baseless Fed-Surrection conspiracy theory that the FBI, who he is maybe about to run unless somebody can stop him his nomination during his hearings. He thinks those agents like encouraged and organized

and entrapped mega people to do January 6th. Yeah, I remember that whole thing. Wasn't there a guy that was like a big, a big MAGA dude or whatever that got, they decided he was a Fed and like ruined his life. He ruined his life and everything. Him and his wife had to go live on the run

and off the grid and an RV or some shit like that because of all the harassment they were getting and he was he was one of their guys but because of this theory they determined that he was he was a fed and was actually pulling the strings with everything but yeah I mean it's another part it's like I don't understand why people are um attracted to to these groups or these these people and the first place because like by the nature of how they are this type of shit happens all the time you know what I mean all the finger pointing and backstabbing and you know all that stuff like the paranoia like it's just part and parcel of who they are and it's like you know it's the leopard's eating faces party or whatever like eventually your face going to get a little bit eaten right at some point and it's like that's what you're signing up for but yet people continue to do it because they always think the lepers are only going to eat like our faces and never their faces but yeah just capitulate just capitulate one more time they'll never come after you so like but anyway like imagine like that that poor guy who just was at january 6 because he loved don't trump and was in the background some

photos and they concluded he was a fed because they thought his cell phone was a badger or whatever and then because he didn't get charged because he wasn't one of the worst actors are like well obviously he's undercover cop he had to move out of his house because of all the death threats then also the feds did him a favor and actually charged him to try to get him off the hook with him didn't work right so like but anyway betta betel fun little fact about him he also helped produce remember that banging track where they played the january six rioters singing uh uh The Nash Lantham in prison over top of Trump playing the Pledge of Allegiance or whatever. Yeah.

It's called Justice for All. Like, Patel produced that track. He's the P-Ditty of the January 6th choir. Nice. We've already got the, you know, the producer name or whatever. Okay. With the dollar sign. Jack Patel.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Patel also wrote another book. I'm assuming this one wasn't a children's book. It's called government gangsters. The appendix of which is just an enemy's lift of people he wants to fucking prosecute. Like, I don't know, a couple hundred people he thinks the FBI should lock up for their political activities.

Less than ideal, I think. Biden and Kamler, both on the list, plus a bunch of other former Trump administration people, plus random, like, intelligence community and DOJ lawyers. Not sure what they did. I'm sure he knows. So basically, we're talking about J. Edgar Hoover, blackmail and authoritarian-type show trial schemes, except with the modern, you know, penopticon, digital surveillance state. So basically we're talking about Jagger Hoover, but with mind-reading powers. Yeah. Which I wanted to direct that way before you pointed that out earlier.

Like the whole thing you said about Martin Luther King and how the apparatus as it exists today is like insanely powerful. And, you know, putting that in the wrong hands, for example, cash the tails. Yeah. Get pretty wild. They had to know what hotel Martin Luther King was going to be staying at, get there ahead of time. arm twist the front desk person into telling them what room they're going to sign them okay break in and plan a phone bug right now they just have to like punch a button on a computer and hear everything he's doing on his phone right so like so there's a new documentary out

I want to recommend everyone called surveilled Rowan and Farrow is part of the is like with the journalist behind it but it's about it's a three-country investigation to the interworkings of a group called NSO group technologies and surveillance is an Israeli company behind a spyware called Pegasus. Pegasus is essentially the program Batman built at the end of the dark night. Yeah, right. Yeah, that Morgan Freeman explicitly states is wrong. And then Batman's like, well, I mean, but is it worth it?

I think so. Yeah. A lot of the world's governments are acquiring Pegasus and using it to spy on their own politicians and journalists, including like Spain using them and Catalan separatists and independent journalists. And the U.S. governments, the DHS is considering acquiring it. And I think we should probably ask them not to if people like Cash Patel are going to be controlling everything.

What the software does, it turns your phone into a listening device or viewing device that you're carrying around your pocket. They can basically just remotely disgorge all your text messages, even from secure apps, and turn your phone on and hear. everything you're doing and turn your camera and watch everything you're doing. That's literally the device or whatever we want to call it from the dark night. It's like they got that idea from that movie. Like that's a good idea.

We should do that. Well, Batman also you also turn the phone in the echolocation devices. They could see the outline of like where the Joker was, right? Yeah, right. Because, you know, bat stuff. It's like sonar. You know what I mean? Right.

So like when the U.S. government buys stuff like this, they promise. They promise not to use it on their own citizens. Their fingers crossed behind their back. Right. I also don't, I mean, I understand that what they're saying is it won't be admissible in court. But I also don't think that, like, I don't want my phone turned into a listening device because I call someone overseas. And I also don't, I don't think it's good for us to spy on, say, British, French, Canadian, Mexican journalists and their politicians necessarily.

although I know we already do that stuff but so the part of this that I truly don't understand is Senate Republicans' reaction to this because like you said, the leprositing face part of this. So let me quote here from this

Politico story, a few GOP senators are raising early opposition to President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the FBI, Cash would tell. Now, it's politics. They could be like letting the process play out waiting to acting like they have an open mind for the hearings, whatever. But, like, even Susan Collins, who's usually reliable, as close to the can to a sane Senate Republican.

She was outspoken against Matt Gates, potentially becoming Attorney General, didn't immediately dismiss Patel on Monday, saying she need time to review his profile. Susan, I've already reviewed his profile for you. Watch this episode of Skew. And I, like, we're all locked in this hell together now for a while. And if you don't want to do everything Donald Trump wants you to do, if you want to be, have the space to, like, like push back on some of his most extreme judicial nominations or, you know, raise a stink when he tries to invade Mexico or today. Fox News doing segments about conquering Canada today. Okay.

Yeah. I know. I know Canada's getting put on the lid. We're going to make them the 51st state or something. Yes. Move aside. Puerto Rico. We've got a new 51st state lined up.

Canada coming for you. Because like Melania may googly eyes at Trudeau once or whatever. Right. Yeah. Trump posted like an AI made image of him, like standing beside on a mountaintop beside a Canadian flag he planted. Now the computer generated a picture of the Swiss Alps because they don't know what Canadian mountains look like. What the fuck ever. So Susan, Collins, if you want to be able to push back against this stuff, you cannot let Cash Patel be the FBI director. Because what's going to happen next is any sort of like even mild rhetorical pushback, you're going to see leaked stories. in the right wing media about sex that Susan Collins husband sent

their maid or some shit right okay so I'm just warning you like you're going to get a crazy

right wing FBI director no matter what Christopher Way is not exactly some lib softie and the guy that's already in there you don't have

to eat this shit sandwich nor should you come over to the lights fucking crush this shit this shit this is that we'll get like the other

dominations that Tulsi Gabbard Pete Heggseth those are fucking nightmares Pete Heggseth is apparently drinking himself out of the job

already the stories are coming out like he apparently show up for Fox News to do hits drunk at 6 a.m. That's when his show came on and he would be drunk

already. So if Fox News is backstabins he can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning Mark that's what they say right you know so if somebody cares when all what's your name does it

Hoda you know Kathy Lehan Hoda and Hoda and fucking pound and wine well not to be all like normie's centrist normie but i'll also be opposed to hoda copy being to be in the sectarian defendant yeah right yes yeah seems like a reasonable stance to me yeah uh i don't know man who the hell knows like I said to me open season on faces for all these face eating leopards out

here we're going to see what happens in the coming months and years but first hey it's christmas time it's a holiday season everybody try to enjoy it even if you got luna in your family, you know. There's still, still, still, still, still, still, still, still, still, still, still, still for Christmas cheer out there here in December of 2024. All right. Let's go to traycrouter.com.
