Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews - 12/05/23 – (Don’t) RIP Kissinger

Episode Date: December 6, 2023

Tonight we do a rapid fire breakdown of the most current goings-on in the American political sphere before settling in for a veritable dissertation from Smart Mark on the all-too-long life and nigh-incomprehensible crimes of Henry Kissinger. Join us. Support the show

howdy there everybody welcome back happy skews day to you it's December 5th 23 i'm trey that's mark how you doing mark uh good bud so i this isn't really a sports thing it's also a politics thing but college football playoff was announced yeah the entire state of Florida is so fucking pissed. I'm pissed with them. Go ahead. Politicians of the state are threatening legal action against the NCAA for like passing a bill to punish the NCAA or something for

it's called, not not about the NCAA, whatever runs the college football championship, the CFB or whatever it is. Yeah. Like it's like people are so fucking mad about not being cast in the TV show that is the college football playoffs. So. So, okay, all right, so I could, first of all, I could probably spend a whole hour-long show just talking about this,

because obviously I'm big, you know, Alabama hater, admittedly, so I do have some bias. But for anybody's not really kept up or whatever, if you haven't heard, the Florida State Seminoles went undefeated this year and won their conference, which is the ACCC, which is ostensibly a Power 5 conference. An undefeated Power 5 champion has never before been left out of the college football playoff. but they were this time in favor of Alabama who did win the SEC, but they have one loss. They have a loss Florida State doesn't. Most people expected that Alabama wouldn't make it. I expected they wouldn't make it than they did,

and a lot of people are upset, myself included. I think it's horseshit. I think that Alabama, or not be in it this year, because the 14th getting in was Texas who beat Alabama straight up, head-to-head in Alabama. That's their one loss. So I just don't know how there could be any argument, but they made the argument and said,

fuck it, we're putting Alabama in anyway, and people are upset. It is funny, I admit, it is funny that the state of Florida is, like, trying to pass laws that would somehow garner some revenge for this, because I don't understand how that's supposed to work, but they did get hosed as far as I'm concerned, and I don't blame them for being pissed off. But, like, for to be hosed, you have to pretend it's a meritocracy in any way, shape, or form. Do you know what I'm saying? Right.

Yeah, it's like, clearly not. it's a TV show and they wanted to cast the teams of the bigger fan base and that's the end of it you know, it's like, are you telling me this is all about the money? Right. I mean, yeah, no, I know, I know, but that's like, but they, but see, obviously we all know that that's true, but like the people that run it and the people in charge of whatever, like, of course, none of them would ever admit to that being the case.

You know what I mean? They would not, they'd be like, no, we went through, you know, our process that we followed and determined these were the four most deserving teams under the circumstances. Like, they would never acknowledge that it is what you just said. It's like, you know, Alabama's like the fucking New York Yankees of college football or whatever. You know, they're the evil empire, huge fan base, hated by many, many more on top of that. It's going to make more money having them in than a Florida State team with an injured quarterback and whatnot. But, you know, it's just I don't, I don't care for it, Mark.

I don't care for it. And I hope Alabama gets wrecked. I'm sure they won't, but I hope they don't. Florida State got a bowl game against LSU, right? So Florida State wins their bowl game against LSU, they'll have more rights to shit talking. But if they lose, I would at least wait to you win your bowl game to talk more shit, right? Is it LSU or is it Georgia? I thought of it's one of them.

But either way, you got to, yeah. Anyway, let's talk about it. It's the orange bowl. Yeah. Yeah, well, some people have talked about them. They said that they should, sorry, I told you I can talk about this. Some people said that they should boycott that ball game and then just like hang a banner. Yeah, no, it is Georgia.

And Georgia, who many people thought is the best team in the country, but they lost Alabama and the CCC championship game. If they win that game, which they probably won't, even if they do play it, but if they manage to beat Georgia, Georgia oftentimes don't show up if it ain't like in the playoff or whatever. They've done that before. If they beat Georgia, I think they should just claim a national championship and be unapologetic about it, too.

Just hang a banner and tell everybody else to kiss your ass. That's what I would do if I was them. Anyway, we can talk about what the show is about now if you want to. I appreciate you sliding it in there, though, using the legislation angle to make it relevant. So thank you for that. But, yeah, we can move on. Let's forget college football.

Let's talk about the more insane world of American politics. So we talked last week about the school voucher, the scam going on in Tennessee. Fun development. A lot of Republicans don't seem to be in favor of this. For example, we quote here from a guy named Sam Whitson in the legislature. It concerns me, it could spiral out control. Current voucher participants have performed worse.

Everyone should be subject to the same standards. There you go. People talking census, but other Republicans are mad because they realize the voucher money could go to Muslim schools. Yeah. And I'd be like, sure, use racism for good for once. I don't know what to tell you. You know, better than just using it for what they normally use it for. I just, I figured, maybe this is not at all the case, but I figured like state level Republicans in Tennessee, I know a lot of them they're definitely from.

They represent like super rural districts and areas and shit. So I feel like if they were being, you know, honest in their assessment of it, that you would think a lot of them wouldn't be on board with it. But usually these people, they just, you know, tow the party line regardless, a lot of them. So I'm glad some of them are speaking out, even if it is for racist reasons in some cases. So while we're on the subject of weird racism, so Martin Taylor Green was doing a Q&A on one of her social media platforms, a video, and was asked about, like, you know, public. like welfare programs and someone asked a fairly question with a with a pretty woke premise about how people unfairly associate like meeting welfare with like people of color and all that and Marjor Taylor Green responded by saying of course I know plenty of white people who were

just as lazy as yeah didn't she say like are worse than black didn't she say like I got plenty white people out there like lazy and don't work they're worse than black people even I mean that's what she said right something like that pretty much yeah uh god help i've heard i don't know about you but i heard growing up versions of that kind of argument plenty of times from racist trying to like defend their racism by saying that they weren't racist because they also thought that you know also hate poor white people exactly and they with the way i've heard people put it before it was like hey as far as i'm concerned there's white in words too except you know they wouldn't say the n word or whatever and

that's that they try it ain't about race it's just about class i hate of course these would usually be working class rednecks in Clay County saying this anyway. But you know, you got to, you got to have somebody to look down on always, as many as possible, preferably, if you're these people. Elsewhere in crazy congresspeople, Senator Joni Ernst apparently almost shook to death at a Republican caucus meeting last week. And Rand Paul, I'd give her the highly maneuver. And here's how she reported the news as Burgess Everett said, whoa, Rand Paul used the homing maneuver on Joni Ernst in a Senate lunch today. She was choking on some food per attendee. she's okay and she quote tweeted it with can't help but choke on the woke policies dims are forcing down her throat it's like you're defibrillated from like your heart stopped

you're defibrillating you're like fucking woke nonsense it's like yeah one yeah it's pretty fun i mean i got to admit that does crack me up uh and just because of how on the nose it is for them but it would also it would be funny if if like if she had choked to death and then her colleagues made this remark about it or whatever you know what i mean sadly senator ernst choked to death on the woke agenda being shoved down all of our throats by the democrats she won't be the last casualty i mean his grandpa is technically a doctor ophthalmologist or whatever but like he could like he could pronounce her dead and put it on her call like her death certificate her cause of death is joe biden's woke nonsense oh god uh over in texas my old home state um

been some weird shit going on where like some Republicans have been got caught meeting with like Nick Fuentes who's the groperly I'm not Nazi Nick Fuentes is a Nazi yeah he calls this group the groipers they're you know huge anti every kind of immigration basically and will

openly say Nazis are cool Nick Fuentes if you forgot is the guy that says it's gay to have a girlfriend because it's like all you get a girlfriend you're cuddling that's gay so they had a bunch of Republicans are mad about this, you know, the ones who consider themselves sane, they tried to introduce a resolution, banning associations with Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers, and it was

voted down. Well, who would we have to, you know, to meet with? Like, who would we have to associate with? It's like, if you start banning associations with Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers, we're just going to have to associate with each other and all, and nothing else. The complaint was that the resolution was too vague and, quote, could create future problems for the party. It's leaders and candidates, obviously, and they called it a slippery slope. This is a resolution. It was part of a pro-Israel resolution they were trying to pass.

They can't even denounce Nazis, associate with Nazis, and they're pro-Israel resolution. Everything's so fucking stupid right now. And this Texas Senator Bob Hall, he was asked outside of this meeting, he was asked about, you know, whether or not they should be meeting with Nazis and stuff. He says, I have that meetings with transgender, gays, and lesbians. that may be a transgender, gay, or lesbian. As if being Nazis, an immutable characteristic of your identity. Like, you know, they can't help being born Nazis is essentially what he's fucking saying. Like, I, uh, it's also kind of like implicitly drawing a parallel between, you know,

LGBT people and Nazis, you know what I mean? It's like saying they're kind of the same thing. It's like, well, if you're going to meet with one, you should meet with the other as though it's like just two different sides of the same coin or something. Yeah, me, with both sides. Nazis and transgender. Yeah, right. Fucking idiot.

Yeah, everything's so goddamn dumb. Yeah. Well, let's get into it with us. This is always his producer, Matt, back there doing his thing. This is weekly skews before we continue.

Now, as for the show tonight, Henry Kissinger has, of course, died after far, far too long walking this earth. He managed to finally succumb to the sweet release of death at the age of 100. last week. We're going to be talking about his legacy. Not exactly a shining eulogy in store for Henry Kissinger from Mark, but we're all looking forward to it a little bit later.

But first we begin with The Daily Dumbass, Matt, graphic, please. Tonight's D.D., anyone who thought you couldn't pay George Santos a small sum to have him hype up a fellow congressional felon? This is a video that John Federman commissioned. Right. On cameo. Hey, Bobby, look, I don't think I need to tell you, but these people that want to make you get in trouble and want to kick you out and make you run away, you make him put up or shut up. You stand your ground, sir, and don't get bogged down by all the haters out there. Stay strong. Merry Christmas. All them haters. Yeah, so it should have gave you a little more context.

That was aimed at Senator Bob Menendez, who, of course, was embroiled in his own legal scandals and John Fetterman, calling it a double standard, not erroneously. And in an effort to highlight it for people, he commissioned this cameo from George Santos. Very hilariously, I might add, quite the move. The first, so Bob Menendez, if you don't remember, is the New Jersey senator who got caught being bribed with allegedly bribed with gold bars from Egypt to funnel weapons to them as part of it. of the Armed Services Committee, which he chairs. We'll talk a little bit more about that second. I guess some pretty funny news about that. So the first thing George Santos did when he left Congress

was raise his cameo rates from $150 to $250. And this is the most honest living George Santos has ever made, as far as I can tell. So another one he commissioned, his one, somebody dedicated one of their fantasy football league. George Santos said, hey, fancy football league, Dorks, ha, ha, ha. it looks like one of your friends is it really your friend

you should really consider a new friend because he thinks none of you get laid because you're a bunch of dorks and never get anything right on your financing football league and like a man's got to pay his legal bills I get that but like this is like so fucking ridiculous Santos finally got kicked out of Congress on Thursday

we'll talk more about that in a second but I want to touch on Menendez because some news today the gold bar is that they found in his house that he denies were from this businessman named Daibis, an Egyptian-American businessman who's connected to Egyptian intelligence. They were previously stolen from Daibis, and he reported them stolen. The cops got them back. The cops have their serial number, and they know that Daibis had this gold bars.

So he got bribed by money that was already documented by the cops. This is so fucking steep. Oh, God, I can't believe. So, okay. So the guy who bribed him paid him in gold, that had been cataloged by the FBI because he had reported him stolen and they got him back for him. They got stolen from him back in like 2013 in an armed robbery. Cops got him back.

They were cataloged as evidence. And then this guy bribed him with the same evidence. Would you go with gold bars if you were being bribed mark or you go cold hard cash or the or the also popular small satchel of diamonds? Well, the reason people use diamonds is because they're untraceable, but also we live in a universe with cryptocurrency. And basically the only use case for cryptocurrency is moving large sums of money that cannot be traced. Yeah, the solution's right there in front of you. And I can sort of understand, like Santos is incredibly frustrated. He got kicked out of Congress and so many other assholes like this art.

And I sort of empathize with him. Like, Sandus is the first guy that he kicked out since James Trafficant, congressman from Ohio, who was basically in bed with the mafia and he got tried and convicted multiple times of being so. And then he died mysteriously under a tractor. So, but before that, that's Ohio mafia for you. You know what I mean? Like instead of like, you know,

getting sunk to the bottom of the river, like sleeping with the fishes with concrete shoes on, he just winds up underneath a tractor, you know. That's fucking hilarious. So, uh, so before,

Before Santos, the few members of Congress who had been expelled were for, like, rebelling during the Civil War or for being convicted of crimes. Now, Santos has not been convicted yet, although we all know he's fucking guilty. But allegedly guilty. I don't want to get sued. So other people had not been got kicked out, like just in recent years, a member of Congress body slanted reporter. Another slept with subordinates. Another had an affair with a woman that tabloids called an ISIS bride. another was convicted of insider trading

another was convicted of stealing from charities another was convicted of stealing campaign funds Santos was the only one expelled but to be fair to those other people they did resign and disgrace a lot of them except for the ISIS bride guy is a representative from a Republican from Texas

who was beaten an election because it was so embarrassing but the woman who was in ISIS her name was Tanya Joya and she's told the Daily male that Taylor was turned on by her past as a jihadist. Like, he was really in

to banging her specifically because it wasn't like I'm overlooking her ISIS history. He loved her. No, he was into that. Yeah, that's why I like, yeah. He's like sticking it to ISIS in his mind, I guess. He's probably a big Mia Khalifa fan, probably. Do you want to tell him my Mia Khalifa take? Did you find astounding? I mean, I didn't know if you

want to be to tell him. Yeah, I'll tell him. We brought me a Caliphate. Yeah. He said that we were talking about me of Khalifa once who, you know, a Muslim porn star I got death threats and stuff for being a Muslim porn star and then she went on to be like a commentator and stuff. She was hugely, I guess

still is pretty hugely famous. And she had said something that made news and we were group texting about her. And Mark said that if 9-11 never happened, she'd just be the hot chick at Buffalo Wild Wings. Her whole thing was doing scenes in a hijab. And I was just like that

niche probably became way more prevalent after They're like people, Americans are getting way more interested in Middle East and Muslim stuff. Anyway, if you don't believe me, this sort of like, I'm going to quote here from the ISIS bride lady, Tanya. For me, it was making love, but for him it was just sex. Whatever is in town, four or five times in night, he was all over me, simply because she was in ISIS. I just think that's a point in my family. This is only tangentially related to this, but it's just always been such a wild thing to me. I got a buddy from back in Tennessee who also does stand up.

I guess I'll leave his name out here, but Corey and Dr. Everybody knows him. We've known him for years. He had a girlfriend years ago. I mean, we're talking 10 years ago or something at this point. But he had a girlfriend who left him, right? And you know, like sometimes like people, like, especially in the South, so by, like a guy will get left by a girl.

And then next thing you know, she's like living with a woman. She's a lesbian now or whatever. So people will be like, God damn, how bad were you as a dude? You turned her gay or whatnot? That old chestnut. Well, this girl left him and then joined ISIS after that. And she was like a white girl from Tennessee, dude. It was like national news at the time when it happened because she went and joined ISIS.

And I don't think it ended up working out too great for her over there, shockingly. So the joke Bears, he's so bad at fucking he made her go death to America. Yeah, right, exactly. Turned her into a jihadist. But Santos, do you think, like, you think all this was like going to happen anyway? I mean, with him getting expelled or do you think it was like, do you think any of it had to do with him starting to like talk shit openly about everybody else we talked about last week because one of the Republicans said they voted against

him specifically because Santos stole his credit card information and ran up $400 in charges like he just personally fuck with them and embarrass them in a way that they found untenable like you robbed from the rubs not from us right and so on the floor of the house last week and Santos has already said he's going to go on to do a bunch of interviews. And I bet he's got, he's already booked on the Masked Singer, I bet. But so a Republican congressman named by Max Miller from I think Ohio said, you, sir, are a crook.

And Santos said, responded by saying, my colleague wants to come up here and call me a crook. The same colleague was accused of being a woman beater. We all have a past. It's like, well, first of all, you're still a crook, Santos. Right, actively, openly and all the time. And this guy, Max Miller, still a shithead. If you want to know the details of it, he was accused of being abusive by,

he used to work in the Trump White House and he dated Stephanie Grisham, who was one of the Trump's press people. And she accused him of cheating on her and being physically abusive and being a liar. He followed a defamation suit against her that he later dropped. Also, Miller was caught lying on his LinkedIn, just like Santos did, lying on his resume and then said a staffer did it. So, like, all these people are the same dude. Right. It's like, it's fucking insane. Like, They're all liars and scumbags, and somehow Santos, and I really, the story doesn't make any sense. They don't have a three vote majority. They probably won't be able to get enough impeachment votes to impeach Biden.

It doesn't really matter if they pass a bill anyway, because the Senate's not going to pass it. I'm like, they gave up 25% of their majority, the margin of majority, to fuck with this guy who's going to air all the, whatever dirt he has. And it's just to be out there as a reminder about flagingly correct. up they all are every time he gets interviewed. So I have no idea what the hell. It's like, we've not heard. I thought maybe we'd heard the last George Santos and I look forward to his interview with Zway. So it's happening. Yeah. I mean, you know, obviously George Santos sucks and is awful and everything. But like it, you know, he ain't entirely wrong about the whole, you know, highlighting these double standards and stuff about all these, about his colleagues and whatnot and how

it is. I think with him it's just like, it was so egregious. so public so continuous and also like his whole thing the way he is acts sounds all of that and then and him starting to go in on them too I think it was just a combination of all that where they're like

we got to get rid of this fucking guy but yeah he's just embarrassing my wife and I're watching some of the day where he came up and she's like I actually prefer him to the other kind of corruption I'm like yeah me too but also like as a person who like a government run health care program that everyone has access to that level

of reducing faith in the government of making it be publicly charlatans is bad for the stuff I want to have happened. But also intellectually, yes, he's less harmful than a lot of them. He's less harmful than Bob Menendez, for example. So, yeah. Yeah. All right, we got an honorable mention for you for Daily Dumbass, and it is the haters who don't know you're winning when you hold up visual aids about po-pooh. This is from the big gubernatorial debate between Newsom and DeSantis that happened for some reason. Here it goes. For some reason. streets. We've also invested in unprecedented resources in reforming our behavioral health system. Ron has literally the worst mental health system in America, forgive me, outside of Mississippi

and Texas. And so with all due respect to being lectured on some of these topics, Ron DeSan is not the one. I'm going to be listening. 30 second response. You're, well, I'm looking at total time, Governor Descent, is about two minutes. He needs it. This is a map of San Francisco. There's a lot of plots on that. You may be asking, what is that plotting? Well, this is an app where they plot the human feces that are found on the streets of San Francisco. And you see how to have the streets. So, again, I don't, and I said this on stage in San Francisco this week, but it was like, you know, like, I don't know that I'd brought that up if I'm the governor of Florida. You know what I mean? The only place where I assume people do more public pooping than San Francisco in Florida, it's like,

you know, like the old saying goes, shouldn't throw rocks if you live in a crack. back house, but yeah. Do you watch anymore? This whole thing was a farce. Like, it was like, you asked what happened for some reason. This happened just because these two wanted to be on television. Yeah, right. And

Newsom, who I don't like very much, absolutely mop the floor with him, so I'll just like say that I enjoyed that aspect of it. Newsom had a line, it was like, but there's one thing in closing that we have in common. It said neither of us would be the nominee for our party in 2024. Yeah, that was pretty gangster.

And they also have this weird, I hate the way, like, our fucking, like, state versus state stuff filters into national politics because it's such horseshit. And they argued over who's fleeing, who's state. And I don't doubt that a bunch of people moved to Florida recently because real estate prices and people did want, like a lot of people did want more, less COVID restrictions during COVID. And taxes are lower. There's a lot of reasons to do that. None of that is really directly about politics. So I guess it is a little bit. But I've lived in four states in America.

And at no point did I make a choice. choice of where to move based on politics. But Gavin Newsom did talk about some data that showed more Floridians have moved to California than the other way around, which is a weird own. It's just like, I, people are moving, people are moving. I know people have moved out of California because of real estate prices. It's fucking hell expensive. Yeah, that's what I was going to say.

It's like they're definitely, I mean, I've run into people all the time, especially in my accent, Uber drivers or whatever. Where are you from? I say Tennessee. I've met so many people would be like, oh, you know, I'm actually thinking about moving to Tennessee or I'd like to move to Tennessee or whatever. And usually some conservative shit is coming down the pike right after that. But it, I think it's mostly because of just how goddamn expensive it is to live here.

Now, those people, like, they think a lot of them that that's because it's a liberal state or something. But of course, it's like, it's because it hits to live here and people want to live here. Yeah, exactly. It's like it's fucking, you know, paradise in a lot of ways with the weather and all this shit. It's like it's more desirable. It's arguably the most desirable area in the country, which is always going to be among the most expensive. But having said that, I mean, you know, I mean, I do get it. I for sure get it.

It is expensive as hell. And shitty housing growth policies that haven't allowed, like, building to keep up. That too. They're not building. Right. Yeah. But none of that has to do with like liberal or conservative has to do with like an ambiasm and ambism.

It's not blocism. Right. Yeah. Different type of thing. And in Florida, as I understand it, like you can't, it's getting harder to get like in house insurance and stuff down there because of the third. of climate change and what all that type of thing so it's like and it ain't cheap in a lot of places parts of Florida to live either so you know and the only thing like I'm not I'm not I'm

talking about defending DeSantis because like like yes the housing the insurance markets collapsing because of climate change that's not the direct responsibility of Ron DeSantis it sucks that Ron DeSantis is living in denial about it and pushing policies that will make it worse but climate change has been sort of you know been building for 100 years since we started industrialization 150 years or whatever. And like the only public policy aspect of this where this connects is like Florida is going to have to transition to a public insurance market where taxes cover property insurance. Otherwise, the whole state's going to collapse.

And so I guess push for more socialism, residents of Florida, because it's the only way this is going to fix itself. Yeah. All right. Well, let's get into it. Everybody knows already. Henry Kissinger died. But before we talk about Kissinger, there's another prominent death in the in-between.

Yeah. So Senator Day O'Connor died, and I wanted to talk about her for a second because, like, she was the first woman on the Supreme Court. And so she was obviously very smart and very tough. She was also very conservative, kind of racist. But, like, all you hear is the girl bossing stuff, right? It's like, and I get, like, a lot of positive attributes are morally neutral. And I hate the way all the, everything is flattened to the morally neutral.

qualities when someone dies um she was like more moderate than like alito and thomas and yet like like like she helped keep rule legal for about 30 years but she also installed she wrote the opinion that installed al gore's president so she could resign and and uh bush could replace her with samuel elito who wrote the dob's opinion that ended row right so like which thing do you want to give her credit for right well a lot of people think that like so she was basically she was the the primary one who made the decision about Ford Bush in favor or in favor of Bush in the 2000 election. A lot of people, you know, argue that that was like the real turning point for our country in a lot of ways that's, you know, led us to where we are now. So, you know.

Yeah. I'm trying to hear, I'm trying to like, I can't really get this to read right. But anyway, I hasn't excerpts pulled up, but I can't read right now. But like, so people, there's reporting from the day, like, she was at a party on an election night. where she was very, very upset that when it was called for Gore because she wanted to retire. And then Bush v. Gore happened. It was caught up. And she was quoted again by someone else reporting like drudge and Fox News level conspiracy theories talking to her friends about how the Gore campaign had went into nursing homes and had people that were essentially vegetables fill out ballots.

None of that. All that's fake. But she's sincerely believed it. So when they did this horseshit fucking opinion to install Bush's president. Now, Bush might have won an honest recount anyway. We'll never know because there's never been, like, there've been various studies and whatever, and they all come down very, very close.

But like the logic of the opinion was fucking awful. And they knew it, which is what they put in the opinion, this opinion is to never account for anything else ever again. Please don't use this going forward. And immediately, within two decades, fucking Brent, Supreme Court Justice, Brett, the sex offender guy. Brett Kavanaugh. Brett Kavanaugh is quoting it and in minority opinions,

like it has the force of law. And I just wanted, the reason, the main reason we want to talk about her before we get to Kissinger, and we'll transition with this. Jay Willis, who writes for a balls and strikes legal blog I read sometimes, brought this back up that he wrote when George H.W. Bush died. Political hagiography is not about displaying good manners, is the critical final component of a system that quietly whitewashes the misdeeds of the powerful. With those who insist on the rules enforcement are saying is the more unseemly portions of the deceased record don't affect them, as they have spent their lives downplaying or ignoring the real world impact of that record on others, they urge the centers to perform

respect for now one more time and to save their complaints for a later date. But is an illusory promise is made to silence minority voices those for whom the occasion of a person's death might be their last real opportunity to be heard. History is written by the victors and shaped by the obituaries.

All right, let's talk about Hank Kissinger. So, the fucking, the weird tone deafness of a lot of the coverage talking about victories written by the uh you know the winners and so are the obituaries uh the main guy wrote kiss and so they did like public public sentiment is turned against these warmongers like to a 50 degree that times is just not kept up with neither is a lot of mainstream press and so a lot of people pointed out the main guy who wrote kissinger's times obituary because they write them ahead of time has been dead for a decade that's wild

I knew they write them ahead of time they don't update or I mean I guess I mean hell a ago he was 90 so that might have been an updated one but like you know the one they published was written over a decade ago by a guy who's been dead they just had sit on himself that whole time yeah you just you just you just report out the details of a person's life and then they update it with whatever happened the last few years and the cause of death and you plug in you know that the rewrite the lead or whatever to put the time the date that the way it happened in get some quotes from consumer contemporaneous people but you can do a lot of the work ahead of time But the Washington Post's obituary, let me read here from this

and see if it connects to anything at all with this man's life, and we'll get to his many, many misdeeds in a second. This is an obituary that ran this in the past few days. Henry Kissinger was about to get lucky with Jaja Gabor, and it was due in part to Richard M. Nixon setting them up. But as Kissinger was about to lead in for a kiss, his beeper went off. It was the president.

The same man who had set them up was now blocking his national security advisor from getting to first base. Henry, come back immediately. you, Gabor later recalled, Gabor later recalled that President Sandy Kissinger, Nixon killed the vibes. I am so sad. On the occasion of Henry Kissinger's death, what I'm really sad about, not the millions of people he got killed, but the fact he didn't get a hand job from Zaja Gassad Gabor.

And he got cock blocked by Richard Nixon and trying to bed Jaja Gabor. I mean, what is the, what's the, look, obviously most of it is back. Well, I guess that's the answer. I was going to say, obviously most of it is bad, but the dude undeniably was hugely influential in so many ways and had a hell of a resume of evil over decades and decades. How did the, you know, the blown hand job make the cut? But I guess that's part of the rationale is because they don't want to talk about a lot of that.

Because he's cool. He went to all the coolest parties and got laid by the coolest chicks who thought somehow were attracted to power. And so, like, Kissinger famously joke that power is a great aphrodisiac. And he got his power by sucking up to Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. And then later on, the Clintons and Obama and like a lot of it. But like Christy Noam, I kind of, the governor of South Dakota, I kind of felt bad for it because she just kind of happened to be on TV the night he died. So they asked the governor of South Dakota, does anything do with foreign policy and might never have thought about Henry Kissinger, her thoughts on it.

And I want to, she's sort of filibustering here like a like a page of queen would, but I want to listen to the, talk about this quote for a second. making a lot of history doing so, your reaction to his death. It's a sad day for us because he was a leader that led to challenging times. And I hope that everyone's reaction to his passing is to go learn a little bit more about him that you didn't know before. Around your dinner table or when you're driving in the car with your kids, tell them a few Kissinger quotes that were used at strategic times. That's actually really good advice, in my opinion. for young people, that's like, that's, if it wasn't coming from her and if I didn't know the intent was the direct opposite of how I intended, that's actually, it's actually a good response, I think, because I would advise young people, especially to go learn about this man and look up some of his quotes and then frame your opinion because, you know, you're going to be horrified, but that's not what she means. She thinks you're going to be inspired or whatever, but I got some, I got some quotes right here. It's a matter of fact, I went looked up, but this is about, uh, Chile electing a social, a democratic socialist.

I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves. Okay. That's one way to put your, to frame your effort to overthrow a democratically elected government. Here's another one. The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer. Okay.

Here's another one. Kissinger famously said the Marshall Islands were the U.S. conducted nuclear testing. there are only 90,000 people out there who gives a damn. 90,000 people. And those are like island people too, you know what I mean? So like, how many does that even amount to really in regular American people terms? You know, you've got to do that math. Oh, brown people did not hit for him and Nixon.

We'll talk about that a little more. Yeah, we get to Bangladesh. But so I want to say Joe Biden's statement about Henry Kissinger was as close to like nothing as you could say. He was like, yep, he was Secretary of State. I met him. I disagreed with him, but a lot of people liked him. Peace out, Henry. It was like, it's basically the close you come as an active politician was saying he's

maybe if you want to translate it. He was like, he offered his opinions, even though nobody asked for that shit. That's basically what he said. I guess I don't know if it's because he's just so old this time right, but like Kissinger, uh, wasn't he still like active behind the scenes for like ever, basically after, after he was no longer secretary of state after Nixon 40? still was active, hugely active in American politics, right, in an advisory capacity with pretty much every regime we've ever had,

basically. Pretty much every president up until Biden would call him regularly for advice. Right, right. And he was like a consultant for the Clinton campaign in 16. But like, so as much as Joe Biden evidently, like, one of the reasons he pulled out of Afghanistan is his lifelong distrust from being in Washington for 50 years of guys like Henry Kissinger, who always think that, America's defeats to be blamed to the indigenous people whose armies were supporting or like they are that like just one more war one more bomb will do it just six months six more months of bombing will always be there and I hope that Joe Biden has taken a moment of reflection as he thinks as he thought about Henry Kissner to think about what's happening with American foreign policy right now that maybe it's a smarter policy besides just bombing people back to the fucking stone age like right now and like we talked about Federman or like I don't know what's going on him in Israel but there's this weird like tension we're like secretary of defense. Lloyd Benson gave a speech at press conference this week, where he said, basically said that Israel is headed towards a huge strategic defeat that will set them back like decades.

And I was like, there's kind of this weird divide right now, like a professional national security apparatus is like at war with politicians who are like bent by ideology. And what Benson's trying to say to them is like, like, this isn't going to work. Like it's not about like, like, they want, they're afraid to make America look bad and said, back American power because it makes us look huge hypocrites, which it does. Like right now, Israel is using artificial intelligence to pick targets and its parameters are coded to not really care that much about like about civilian casualties. And that's the thing about AI that scares me is people be able to blame the immorality of

stuff because a robot told them to do it. Anybody's argument with the customer service hotline about an AI, the algorithm setting the price or something knows what I'm talking about. And like, anyway, so back to Kissinger. his owning all his immorality unless he went to outsources of Nixon. Ari Fleischer said, I think the word impossible was never in Kissinger's vocabulary.

Yeah, there were no constraints. Fox News also celebrated him by doing impressions of Henry Kissinger's German accent, which is just fucking weird if you have this clip, man. I think that had great. But I one time did my imitation of him to him.

I talk about bottom policy. You know, and I said that to him. And he laughed. He had a great sense of humor on top of everything else. He did. And if you could do Henry Kissinger, if you could do... You know, I can't... I'm doing overmight night about a war criminal dying.

Right. It was a funny talk about like Henry Kissner. He said, tell you what, he loved to laugh. Particularly as the innocent burned. Yeah. Yeah, he'd love to laugh the screams of children while he pursued handjoos from Shah Jaga Bore. So let's talk about what he actually fucking did because nobody wants to do that. One of his biographers, a guy of my name of Greg Grandin,

credits him with like, on his own head, about two to three million deaths. These include crimes of commission, he says, in Cambodia and Chile, and a mission like Greenlandin Indonesia's bloodshed used to Moore, Pakistan's bloodshed in Bangladesh, and the inauguration of an American tradition of using the abandoned. ending the Kurds. So he invented a lot of stuff that we kept doing. He also got Scott free from Watergate,

even though his fucking obsession with crushing Daniel Ellsberg for releasing the Pentagon papers is what really drove everybody's behavior there. The also like a demonstration of like how I was able to kill so many people and get away with it. All these

fawning obituaries were extremely shameful because Kissinger had reporters wiretapped. And why are tapped newsrooms? Like, all that shit is patently illegal outside of any dictatorship. But I didn't, I didn't keep up with it. I mean, I, like, meaning I read tons of responses from regular people on the, I saw, you know, tons of people tweeting and the Reddit threads and all this stuff,

which were just, of course, universally negative or celebratory, you know, rather about him dying. And I was about to say, I was about to bring up this headline that Matt currently has up here right now from Rolling Stone, Henry Kissinger, war criminal beloved by America's ruling class, finally dies, saw that one too. But, like, was the bulk of media coverage?

Like, it wasn't, it didn't have that tone or tenor to it. Like, most of them went with a, like, you know, dedicated statesman, hugely influential,

passes at 100 and that type of thing. Controversial to his critics who thought he may be too careless, like shit like that. I'm already dreading Trump's obituaries. It'll describe him as controversial and flamboyant. So, like, his entree into politics, if you guys aren't aware, like he was a Harvard professor who was a consultant for Nelson Rockefeller, who was campaigning in the Republican primary against Nixon. So Nixon won the primary, obviously.

But during the general, because he was connected to Harvard, this was during the Paris peace talks in 68 to end the Vietnam War. He backchannel, operated back channels between Nixon and the peace talks to sabotage him, basically telling the South Vietnamese, he would get them a better deal if they didn't agree to anything that was happening in Paris. Vietnam War ended up not ending until, what, 73, 75? So every person who died in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, be the American or anybody from those countries, their blood is directly on the hands of Henry Kissinger. Right. It could have been ended earlier, right, but he didn't, for political benefit for Nixon, right, essentially. Nixon was running, Nixon was running on a secret plan to end the Vietnam War, but he also wanted to use the political, like, he wanted to, like, triangulate against the anti-war left for being on American. So if the war ended, he would have none of that to run on.

Right. Right. So I tried to, like, figure, do the math about, of how long, how many people, just Americans, died because Henry Kiss and. did this in 68. So of the 51,000 Americans who died, about 20-some thousand came after 1968. So the families of at least 20,000 Americans should be lining up to piss on Henry Kissinger's fucking grave,

who died in a feudal war after it was already over. So Richard Nixon could be president. And Henry Kissinger could be Secretary of State and National Security Advisor. Right. Cambodia, like, what they were doing in Cambodia, like it was like the North Vietnamese were moving weapons through trails in Cambodia,

so they basically decided to illegally bomb a bunch of civilians there to try to destroy the supply networks. Killed about 100,000 people out of the population of 70 million, 7 million, sorry. Right. It had nothing to do with it. Like, you know, people that were citizens of a completely different country just happened, like collateral damage because the, you know,

our enemy was coming through there. And no one cared about these people or where they live, so we just bombed the shit out of it. It'd be like say there's like a like a missile components factory in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Russia blew it up along with the whole town, a bunch of civilians to keep us from shipping weapons to Ukraine. That's somewhere in the neighborhood of what happened there, except that's a weapons factory. This is just people who live in a village that North Vietnamese soldiers are pulling wagons through. And I want to quote here, I know a lot of people probably familiar with this Anthony Bourdain quote.

One thing I load about Anthony Bordane, may he actually rest in peace. his shows is he traveled among regular people. And one reason travel makes people more open-minded and liberal is because you don't see a people according to stereotypes or their politics or their governments. You see them according to like the food. And it makes you realize that everyone around the world just wants to hang out with their family and eat food.

So Anthony Bourdain said once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissner to death with your bare hands. You'll never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, pervericating, murderous. scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or getting some black tie affair for a new glossy magazine without fucking choking.

And like that's sort of how I think any sane person to feel about Henry Kissinger. Like one of their bombing campaigns in Cambodia, again, killed 100,000 people. They called it Operation Breakfast because

with the idea while they're eating breakfast. Yeah, that's pretty crazy. I thought it was because it was most important bombing of the day for them or something. But that's not true because it's a, you know, because it was like an afterthought probably for them is the, is the worst part about it. In Cambodia and Laos,

the United States dropped out, dropped more bombs and it dropped them Germany and Japan during World War II. Again, we were not at war with Cambodia and Laos and those were illegal fucking bombings. It's like, and all this was conducting about like, like, if you guys are familiar with the Madman theory, Nixon was openly trying to look like

a psycho. He was doing all this shit to try to scare the Soviet Union and North Vietnamese into like being better negotiators or being more afraid of America by acting like he would launch. He was acting like a crazy person, and of course of doing these bombings. But you are what you fucking act like.

Right. Yeah. I'm sure the people in Cambodia or whatever, you can't be like, hey, listen, that was just a bit I was doing, by the way. Wasn't even about you guys. It was really I was just trying to freak out Russia or whatever. So thanks for playing along. There's 100,000 people dead. Yeah, they're just like, all these people had died are just bit players in Nixon's melodrama.

But it's not just in hindsight, this was shitty. Like when the bombing of Cambodia went public in the early 70s, it was hugely controversial, and people fucking hated it. It was in their original impeachment articles for Watergate, but it got voted down because they didn't want to set the precedent to bind a president's tides hands in times of war. But 40 years later, U.S. President's routinely bombed countries that America is not at war with. And, like, without providing the barest minimum of disclosure, like, you can't even get a list of all the weapons that are going to Israel because the Biden administration is kind of hiding them. And, like, there was a couple years ago. Four American Special Forces operators died in, like, West Africa. I think it was in, like, Niger or Lagos.

And Lindsey Graham, who at that time was the chairman of the Senate Foreign Armed Armed Services Committee, didn't even know we were operating there. It's not just America's fighting wars and places the citizens don't know. The Senate Armed Forces Committee didn't know. And like, I hate this shit so much, man. But like the way this is treated in the response to Kissinger, like, if you kill five people, you're a psycho. Yep. If you kill three million people, you're a state.

Very serious people are pro-war. If you're against war, you're not serious, right? You're not tough. And that's like the more depraved Kissinger's actions are revealed to be, the more the establishment sees him as a serious statesman who understands harsh truths. Right. It's like, he spoke truth to power. That power was this villagerism layos.

Yeah, he made like the difficult choices that other people didn't want to make in that type of thing is how they frame it. Right. And not for nothing. His evil genius shit, air quote genius didn't work. The North Vietnamese fucking won. Right. Pinochet got kicked out of fucking Chile.

like yeah and didn't the shit all the stuff in Cambodia at some it like sort of laid the groundwork for the uh Khmer Rouge however you say that Kamir Rouge I'm not sure I'm saying that wrong but when Pol Pot killed all the intellectuals like me and you would have both been executed because we wear glasses

yeah and not not for being I don't mean I'm not calling myself of an intellectual I just mean literally they kill people that needed glasses because glasses yeah and they did elevate the Khmer Rouge the most extreme hardcore communist faction precisely because like it's a communist idea to heighten the contradictions right to like draw people apart but like they went the Kissinger Nixon Kissinger wanted to heighten the contradictions to make communism look more evil but not letting socialist win to let out-out murderous psychopath communists take power right so all those

people are kind of they don't know if they go in as official tally because he didn't directly have a hand in killing them but like they did want the Khmer Rouge to be in charge of Cambodia but this like disease for respect for murderous psychopaths is like bipartisan in, like, reviewing, Hillary Clinton wrote a review from one of Henry Kissinger's books. She caught him a friend whose counsels, she relied upon a secretary of state and possessed, quote, a conviction that we, comma, and President Obama share a belief in the indispensability of continued American leadership and service of a just and liberal order. I just want to emphasize, and they say liberal order in this context, they mean economically liberal order. Yeah. They do not mean politically liberal order.

So Kissinger also loved Hillary Clinton. he thought she was the one of the best secretary of state of his lifetime who wasn't him um and i was thinking about like when trump the one trump administration assassinated uh cassim solomani the iranian general um iranians like mourned him in the streets and american leadership acted like uh taken it back grossed out by it and for sure he was a murderous psycho as well but if you even if you put every death in the syrian civil war on his head he could not kill nearly as many people as Henry Kissinger and nor did Soleimani get to date

Jill St. John who played a Bond Girl and Diamonds are forever. So like I fucking, I think when I see all these warmongering people on each side, like different sides of political like conflicts and wars, I'm going to be like, can you guys just get in a room and fight? Can Harry King Kissinger and the Camer Rouge just knife fight this motherfucking shit out and leave the rest of us out of it?

No. Right. Well, no, because they're, you know, they're important people mark the people that do the fighting are not important they're expendable you know you already covered in martial islands which needed to test some of our countless number of bombs over there and who gives us shit that people actually live there immaterial it's all in service of the grand american experiment i wanted to mention packing in in bangladesh for a second so and the guys of other cold war global chess game bullshit um kissinger and nixen Jackson, like, helped Pakistan do a genocide against the Bengali people.

And what's now modern day Bangladesh, and they did this because they were trying to, like, you know, give reproaching with China. And they thought India and China's border was falling into the Soviet orbit and yada, yada, yada, plus they were just, but all this real politics shit, the reason to bring it up is just justification for racism a lot of times. Like, let me read Nixon recorded talking to Henry Kissinger about what he thought of the Indian people. I don't know why the hell anybody would reproduce in that damn country, but they do. Undoubtedly, the most unattractive women in the world of the Indian women. Undoubtedly, the most sexless nothing, these people. I mean, people say, what about the black Africans where you can see something, the vitality there? I mean, they have an animal-like charm, but God, those Indians, ah, pathetic.

Good Lord, bro. That's Nixon talking to Kissinger the other way around. Yeah, Nixon. That's Nixon talking to Kissinger, but Kissinger go, yes. good ideas. Next to one talked to Kissinger about how Jews are evil. Remember, Henry Kissinger is Jewish. Right. You know what the Jews from Harvard who opposes

foreign policy? Next thing, Henry Kissinger is a Jew from Harvard. You're like, yeah, yeah, the other Jews from Harvard. Yeah, one of the good ones. They backed, tell me how these shit didn't work. They backed a coup in Chile because of American copper-mining interests there. And it was Pinochet. They did some like indirect coups that didn't work.

And then they tried to finally just told Pinochet to take the military and go kill the president. It's around the president. It's around the presidential palace. Salvador Allende killed himself live on the radio while telling the people that the CIA was actually behind this shit. Don't believe anything else. This is called Operation Condor or something else. But, like, right now, currently, Chile has a socialist president, and Alende's granddaughter is a minister of defense. So fuck you, Henry Kissinger.

Get fucking wrecked. None of your shit worked. But, like, his real, like, legacy is the rule-based international order. going back to Hillary Kenton with the liberal order is about capitalism, not democracy, right? That's what it's about. So, like, when you think about American meddling in the Middle East, when you complain about gas prices going up, part of the reason we do all that meddling is because of American oil companies and also because Americans will not accept higher fucking gas prices.

Right. So, like, I just want everyone to understand the cost of our nice, comfy treats and lifestyles. Because it's like, all this shit I find so maddening. Like, you can't rent about inflation. It's all so messy and stupid. And Henry Kissinger sucks. I mean, we get a next generation of leaders. And it wasn't just Biden's response to Kissinger's death that I found encouraging.

Then they were going to turn a new page and see people as human beings that also have a right to democracy, not just we have a right to democracy. And they have to serve us, but that we can move forward as a globe towards a freer and more prosperous. Humanity? Is that possible? I don't know. I mean, you know, sure would be nice, but it's like, it's not like I feel like things are trending upward as of late. I mean, that's been, it's been the hardest part of the past few years for me in terms of all this shit. It's like I used to generally, like genuinely believe that the trajectory was, you know, on the same or that, you know, it was unaltered.

Like over the, over macro enough time frame, we went in the same general direction, you know, gradually upward and onward type of thing. And then, but lately, you know, I don't know. I don't think it's like we've backslid. Right. But like progress goes like this. Yeah. I mean, that's true.

It sucks to live through a dip. Yeah, right. I know, but this dip, like maybe it's just I didn't live through the other ones. I don't know. But, yeah.

World War I, World War II were pretty big dips. So was the Great Depression. Yeah. So it was like, thinking about the level of political unrest and assassinations in the 60s. 60s, the civil rights movement and all that.

I mean, yeah. I mean, that's true. And I'm glad you're saying that because that's the type of shit I used to say to people was like trying to keep that in my, I keep some perspective. Well, you think it's when you're in a dip, you don't know whether it's the last one.

Yeah, right. This is just, yeah, this is it. I saw, Matt, bring up some questions and comments and stuff for us if you want to. I mean, that's what Liz Cheney, the new, you know, liberal hero. I know that not everybody's saying that, but, you know, she's getting, she's been jerked off a little bit ever since she went full anti-Trump and whatnot. And she still still her father's daughter. Yes, the bar is low. But anyway, she got a book out.

She's doing a lot of interviews and stuff, and she was saying that if Trump wins this election, she was like, I think that'll be the last election that we have in this country if he wins it. And then she said that we're sleepwalking into a dictatorship, which interestingly to me, I'm a huge fan of the national, the band The National. That's basically a lyric from one of their, one of my favorite songs of theirs, fake empire, which says, which goes, we're half awake in a fake empire. That song is from like 15 years ago. Hitchro Hard.

Check it out. I will say that it's way too late, but like the New York Times did a big sleepwalking into a dictatorship thing that even Maggie Haberman's byline was on this week about like the Topper was about and 43 old Donald Trump in an interview of Playboy magazine was talking about how big of a fan he was of what China's government did at Tiananmen Square because they showed strength. Right. Yeah.

Now, they all hate China. I'm like, if you like the strong arm government, I guess what you do. don't like, is their ethnicity and that they have medicine? Mm-hmm. Right. What is your beef with China if it's not the fucking oppressive communism? That's a really, really good point. You're right.

China's supposed to suck, but like if it's not that part, what's the problem? Red Wave of ketchup says, smash that like button, kids. That's right. Thank you, Red Wave. Appreciate it. Like, subscribe, take your friends, all that. Katie did not. Says Kissinger was a big dip.

Yeah. But the ladies loved him. You got to put that in the old bit. Coco Stewart says I grew up in Kissinger's. era. I hope he burns for eternity. Well, I don't know that anyone burns, unfortunately, but if they do, surely

he's among them. The draft ended literally right before my dad's number was called. I don't know about, what do you mean by right before? Because my dad always said that too. Like, when's your dad graduate? It would have been like 71.

Oh, okay. But he would have a draft judge, yeah. My dad graduated in 74. He didn't say right before, but he just said that like, he grew up going to school, like, being terrified of being drafted into the war, but he graduated, like, shortly after it, you know, ended or whatever. So, you know, good for me and you. But they had got, if they had got exploded, no skews for you guys, all right?

Yeah. But never having to exist would have hit, though. I got to be honest. February, Ferbue, Aaron says we were slowly being boiled alive, and it's just disappointing to watch it happening. I saw, I saw someone say that the, that the frog is completely boiled at this point, which I'm assuming that's perhaps what you're referencing to. But I don't know, is that true? Is that true? Or is that just thing people say?

They say, if you throw a frog in a pot of boiling water, it'll jump right out. But if you set the frog in the water and slowly bring it to a boil, just sit there while it cooks to death. And a lot of people are using that as an analogy for politics. I don't think it's based in truth, but the metaphor, you know, does make sense. Yeah, right. For sure. Yeah. Let's see. I can't tell. Henry Lindemann says 1973 was the first year they didn't spend the lottery.

Well, yeah, my dad graduated in May of 1974. I'm trying to think it would have been maybe it was 72. My dad was born in 53. I'm turning to the math when he would have been graduated. Of course, my dad wasn't great at school. It might have took him an extra year. Yeah, he was 22 when you graduated. Yeah.
