Starting point is 00:00:00 What's up, everybody, welcome back. Happy Tuesday to you. It is December 13th, 2022. I'm Trey Crowder, and that's Mark Audey. What's up, Mark? What's up, Trey? We got some good news to talk about today. I'll get to that in a minute.
Starting point is 00:00:21 We always love to talk about good news here. It's like its own brand for us. Absolutely. We're always funny and positive here. We did our patron. episode on Friday before we get the good news about all the different attacks on the power grid infrastructure. I'm talking about started with more North Carolina and like we don't know who did that yet, but I was making my case that's right wing psychos. And after we did that episode,
Starting point is 00:00:42 another news story dropped. It turns out there were five separate intrusions and attacks on power substations in Florida in September that we just found out about. Right. Like, yeah, like Mark said, our Patreon episode last week was about these like right wing attacks on power substations. It's more than just the one in North Carolina. And now he's found some more here. And like, I'm not going to lie, this shit's starting to freak me out a little bit. It seems like they're really up to something out here, Mark. And I'm not, I'm not comfortable with it. With these five, they take it up to at least 13. I can count off the top of my head in the past, you know, 16, I think, some of which they've been arrest for, and they turn out to be Adam Woff and Nazis and stuff. And we're under attack. Yeah. Yeah. This is some deep web organizing shit. We're going to talk about that earlier about how openly this stuff's happening on the internet. But yeah, it's wild.
Starting point is 00:01:38 And also I want to say rest in peace, Grant Wall. If you don't know, he's a sports reporter, soccer writer who is in Qatar covering the World Cup. And he got kicked out of a match for wearing a rainbow flag shirt because Qatar is horribly homophobic and abuse of the gay community there. and his brother happens to be gay. And so that was small act of protest was met with vicious overreaction. And also, he was very critical of them using slave labor. And then he turned up dead. Now, his brother had making noise, he suspected it was foul play.
Starting point is 00:02:09 But I guess the autopsy so far say it was natural causes. But like what? They don't, not like no specific still yet? Like what the natural causes were? That's fishy. Hell of a coincidence that a big critic of your autocratic regime drops dead while he's in your country. But no evidence of anything. So I'll try not to go off a conspiracy deep end. I will just say that if you want to make states know how to make people dead without looking bad,
Starting point is 00:02:37 so whatever. For the good news, there's a break-few and cold fusion this week, Trey. It's not nearly close to being commercial, probably decades away from it, you know, being able to solve all over energy problems. But while our mass media is organized around making us think that billionaires are going to lead us into the future, some work-a-day scientists, just fucking and trying to save humanity from themselves. And we keep inventing our way out of problems and thinking there was never a problem. Eventually,
Starting point is 00:03:05 eventually we're going to fucking run up against it. But hopefully this will solve the near-term problem because at least in my lifetime, we'll not have to flee north. Yeah, right. That's why I've always just sort of had to tell myself about, you know, the apocalyptic trends and whatnot and climate change on.
Starting point is 00:03:25 I'm like, well, somebody, some smart person is going to figure that out, you know, somewhere, they'll figure something out. But so you're saying like cold fusion, it's not commercially viable or whatever, but you're saying they've like cracked it because that's like a big fucking deal, right? Yeah. For the first time, they're able to do a cold fusion reaction. This is under the, this is under the framework of weapons research, which is pretty much the way the government does.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Yeah. It's the only way. But they were able to generate more energy from a cold fusion reaction than it took to make it for the first time. That's incredible. That's a pretty incredible breakthrough. But like the, I don't understand. I'm side's dumb.
Starting point is 00:04:01 But like they're only able to fire the laser once every X amount of times and they're generated enough energy to power something. It's got a bit of fired multiple times per like second. So. Right. Yeah. Lasers, man. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Lysers. What are you going to do? There's also a breakthrough in cancer vaccine. It looks like I might have, I might have an MRI skin cancer vaccine soon. So science is still out there doing it. Well, the rest of our culture is a diving head first back into the dark. ages. So hopefully we can balance those things out a little bit. Yeah. I hope people don't start, you know, setting their labs on fire and shit like that. Oh, yeah. You know, as long as they
Starting point is 00:04:35 keep letting science do science, maybe they'll continue to come up with some good shit. But a lot of people, not into that. They don't like science doing science at all. Now, DeSantis announced today he's starting like an anti-CDC to investigate all the crimes committed under MRI research. So all these psychos will still be resistant to getting an MRI vaccine for the rest of us are turning get mortal and fighting off cancers, like whatever. This is a funny thing. I wanted to show the video, but Trey rightfully flagged it that it would get
Starting point is 00:05:02 us dame for copyright infringement because there's a Lady Gaga song on it. So Biden signed the respect for marriage act today, which does some good stuff with gay marriage, not good enough, but whatever helps, and interracial marriage. And they had the signing ceremony, and after he finished this signing it,
Starting point is 00:05:20 somebody had the bright idea to play Lady Gaga's born this way. And Biden's face while they go, he doesn't, they're playing Lady Gaga, you're just sort of like, what? Yeah, it's a very papal face that he makes when it comes on. Yeah. Mayor Pete was there, so it's a cool moment for him. And Kristen Sinole was there, who happens to be bisexual, so she was at the signing. And right when the part of the Gaga song hits where she goes, don't be a drag, be a queen, don't be a drag, be a queen is when Biden's talking to her. So I thought that was fucking perfect.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Anyway, all that made me very happy. Sam Smith sang, so did Cindy Lauper. They gayed up at the White House, Trady a minute gay and it's awesome. Gane it up. I love it when things get gayed up. Also love it when Mark's got good news
Starting point is 00:06:06 and it's happy and smiling. It really is Christmas time. All right, well, let's get into it with us as always as producer Matt. This is weekly skews.

As for the show tonight, new treason text just dropped y'all in case you missed it. There's a whole batch of new messages from Trump, Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows' phone. And y'all ain't going to believe this, but they almost seem to indicate that the Republicans in Congress were actively
Starting point is 00:07:23 trying to steal the 2020 election for Donald Trump. Crazy, I know. We'll get into the details a little later. But first, of course, we begin with the Daily Dumbass. Matt, graphic, please. Tonight's D.D. Me, for going out of my way and driving all the way down to the butt plug store when I could have just been hitting up CVS this whole time.
Starting point is 00:07:46 That's right. It's who else? Marjorie Taylor Green, everybody. By the way, you can pick up a bus. Bud plug or Dildo at Target and CPS nowadays. I don't even know how we got here. Okay, married. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:04 I think they still be. So, in case you missed it, right there, right before Matt just paused. She says, I don't even know how we got here. And I'm pretty certain you can hear a dude in the crowd go, gay marriage. It's simple. You let the gays get married, then there's butt plugs at Target. who knows what's next but like unironically though they think and say dude i went through these seven state the five stages of grief except for amusement here
Starting point is 00:08:32 because i learned a lot of different stuff yeah at first it was like she's making this up right what is this what is this fucking dumb lady carried on about and then it turns out that's not true um uh it turns out vice looked checked it out vice news and uh they've all been carrying um like sex toys a lender lube and condom section since like 2011, 2012 at CBS Walgreens Croger's Safeway Target at Walmart and so then my second thought was
Starting point is 00:08:59 well the reason I didn't know that is because I didn't go shopping for butt plugs. I wasn't I didn't know butt plugs or CPS because I wasn't looking at butt plugs and my wife and I don't want to use condoms so like I had no idea this was happening and I was like well how did she find out it was happening? Right.
Starting point is 00:09:15 The third layer of this is like was she shopping for butt plugs at Target and so what was it? And so then it turns out she must have found out because Tucker Carlson did a segment on this the night before because he just learned about it, which made me think is Tucker fucking looking at Buck for Buck Plug is to see if. I mean, you are right. It does sort of beg the question. Like if they've been offered in these chains for 10 plus years already, which it's been proven that they have, then like, why are they just talking about it now? It's also, it's funny to me before we watch the Tucker thing. It's funny to me to think that it's like real butt plug enthusiast.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I'm sure don't traffic in the Target type butt plugs. You know what I mean? These are like these have got to be like vanilla entry level, you know, these are starter butt plugs if you're getting them from Target. I feel like like real pros are still going to, you know, butt plugs are us or whatever or somewhere on the internet and getting that, getting that high dollar top shelf item. But it's nice that just regular day to day people can get their butt plugs.
Starting point is 00:10:18 when they go, you know, pick up their cold medicine and whatnot. Yeah, I mean, if you're, if you're really into it, you've got to get the one with a two-cycle engine and an alternator and shit. So, yeah, but yeah, but if you just want to dip your butt hole in the waters of butt play, yeah, you get the one from Target. But I wouldn't have found the Tucker clip because I wanted to watch it, and you've got to see this. This is a fucking commercial for butt plugs.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Like, what you get to watch this is this? The producer for a producer for Tucker Carlson tonight happened to notice that CVS is now selling this toy. It appear to be a relative bargain. For example, there's a tush-cush for $11.97, though the accompanying lotion that goes with it will set you back an additional $1197. And if you've got the cash right there in the middle, the buzzy butt will run you $325 information. Just wanted you to know about New York. But it's it's immoral to sell marlboros, Trace, just so you know.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Thank you for your... You're right. It is like, you know, God damn, that's a deal. Like, it literally sounds like he's pitching these things. You know, like the conceit of it is sort of like, yeah, they're not that expensive either. It's not that bad. Tush, cush, buzzy butt. What more do you want?
Starting point is 00:11:26 Today there's a guy, like, accounts payable, a receivable office at like corporate CVS, noticing like a 43% uptick, upticks and butt, tush buzz or whatever. And the buzzy butt, yeah. Buzzy butt's moving like crazy, like, well, it is Christmas time, you know, like Christmas right around the corner. It's not that weird. We see an uptick and buzzy butt. but sales, I guess. His little marble thing is like indicative of like something, though, because I don't really
Starting point is 00:11:56 have a huge stance with the drugstores to sell cigarettes or not. I get how it's sort of a, it goes against their brand as a health place. But like, yeah, if you're going to pick one to sell more or less immoral, the, what's the name of it again, Trey, the Buzzy Butte? Buzzy Butte. Buzzy But I've never heard of a Buzzy But killing anyone. Marble's killed millions of people. So like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Yeah, well, it's like, if the reverse was true, like, you know what I mean? It's like, oh, so you can sell Marlbrils, but you can't sell a Buzzy But, you know what I mean? Like, I don't feel like, yeah, it's like, no, you know, America, freedom, sell them all, right? That's what Tucker should think. You shouldn't be against the Buzzy But they should be for it and cigarettes all in the same place. But it's also crazy to me to like, these people are ostensibly anti-pleasure sex in all forms, you know, whether it be gay sex or non-becer sex or non. I'm not sex outside of marriage, non-procreative sex, or even blowjobs, a lot of them, you know, pre-marital sex, uh, buzzy butts. These people, all they fucking think about is sex.
Starting point is 00:12:59 They're all so fucking repressed, you know what I mean? Like, clearly, like, yeah, they definitely think about sex more on average than we do, I would guarantee it, because it's so, like, fucking, you know, weird and demonized in their heads that makes it, like, wrong and people think about shit that's wrong, especially. when the stuff the wrong involves your butthole and whatnot, you know? Yeah. It's going to, yeah, we're going to get to you. We just had like a two-week news cycle where they had the Twitter files thing where it's like they're talking about Hunter Biden's
Starting point is 00:13:29 dick and sex tapes and stuff. And then everyone else is like, L.O.L. bro, why you're so worried about Hunter's dick? And they go, oh, it's not about the dick. It's about principle. We're not obsessed with sex. And then I saw this clip of Jesse Waters on Fox. And look how fucking horny these pervers are.
Starting point is 00:13:42 It's all they think about. Hunter went right up to McCarthy. he's mom and introduced himself tried laying down some of that famous Biden charm. I've seen Hunter's videos. I wouldn't want him anywhere near my mom.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Hunter Biden, please don't fuck our moms. We know how much you get down. We've seen that dick and what you do with it. No, sir. Not around me. Never. Me, maybe. We could party, but not my mom. That's too much.
Starting point is 00:14:17 yeah it's the i don't know man it's like i've seen i've watched hunter fuck a lot and i don't want him near my why are you watching that shit man what the fuck you get it anyway apparently uh hunter's really well hung i haven't looked at the pictures but uh i guess that's we got them guess i'm so relative but yeah i don't know all right our first honorable mention for daily dumb ass is uh once again everything else for being the same as slavery and stuff like that parentheses which isn't it wasn't that bad So, yeah, there we go. You'll understand in just a second. You know, the plantation owner who said, I need cotton, and you're going to pick it, is morally equivalent to person today who says, I don't want to get sick, so you have to take the jab.
Starting point is 00:15:04 I am placing, it is, it is, and I want to be clear that I mean exactly what I just said. It's not a gaff. I mean it. You are equivalent to a plantation. owner who enslaved black people and forced them to work for you. Okay. If you today as a medical professional. My favorite part is definitely that middle part where he like, you know, it's like,
Starting point is 00:15:27 I want to make it very clear. This is not a gaffe. I mean this completely. It's like he knows how absurd it is, but it's still doubling down on it. You know, it's also makes me wonder if like they had some kind of meeting where it's like, okay, let's maybe cool off on the Holocaust comparisons for a minute, you know, with the vaccine mandates. Like we did.
Starting point is 00:15:45 It's getting kind of weird. out here with all that stuff lately. So I think we should pivot maybe to what do you got? And somebody's like, slavery? Like, that's perfect. That's always a good plan B for these comparisons. I don't know in what universe you know, thinking
Starting point is 00:16:00 people should get vaccinated during a pandemic is the same as being a plantation owner. But, yeah, here we are. This is a guy in Minnesota, a Minnesota Republican. A representative, state
Starting point is 00:16:16 representative in Minnesota. Walter Hudson. Yeah, he was elected by like 25% in some fucking psychotic district. So remember he said, this is not a gap. I mean what I'm saying. He went on a local radio station to talk about this and he leaned into it even further. And he compared it to, he made another analogy where he said, if my wife's boss demands a sexual favor as a condition for her continued employment, we all recognize that's deeply immoral and ought to be illegal. There's a principle here. And I've got to ask, What's the fucking principle? Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:16:50 I keep going back to this. These guys insist on, like, labor laws. We can fire anyone for any reason. Right. Except, you know, they like, they would like to carve out for being racist. And then they want to carve out for I should be able to give you COVID. Yeah, I think like in their minds, and again, I, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:08 I was trying to make sense of this shit as a fool's Aaron. But, like, I think in their minds, it's like both slave. and his wife's hypothetical boss demanding sexual favors are like forcing you to do a thing with your body that you don't want to do, which is what getting the vaccine is to them, I think is how it works in their brain. But of course, it's like it's hilariously evident that those are false equivalences to say the very least. I mean, slavery, yeah, I don't feel like that's approaching the same thing. It feels like a little bit more extreme to me owning slaves, but you know, what do I know? Yeah, because also if you don't want to get the vaccine to keep your job, you have the option to quit and literally not work, which is not a choice in slavery. So it's like, but it's like if you're in a philosophy class, you might think you're smart making the point where slaves are forced to do stuff and I'm being forced to do stuff.
Starting point is 00:18:04 But like, we're all forced to do stuff all the time. It'd be like, what do you mean I can't wear no shirt, no shoes in the store? That's slavery. It's like it's the same thing. drive after drinking you know what i mean yeah like i want to get drunk and drive this is american and people say no you can't because it might impact other people i just don't see how it's any different but you know they're all limited also like dude most republicans would be totally down with slavery if they somehow got it on the dot like if bezos was like i found a way to have slaves
Starting point is 00:18:31 you know uh they would uh they'd definitely back him up on that yeah uh yeah these guys this guy loves his uh fucking specious analogies here's one from last year. He tweeted this out, trying to help sick friends find unsanctioned early treatments feels categorically similar to hiding Jews in my attic. There it is.
Starting point is 00:18:55 There it is. He was just switching it up a little bit with the slavery thing. He'd already been on the Holocaust comparison to it for a minute now, so he just had to freshen it up some. So he went with slavery and then rape. So yeah, that's his three
Starting point is 00:19:10 that's his three comparison for COVID mandates. Holocaust, slavery, right. The idea that like, we always have a really narrow definition of freedom in America. Freedom's always defined as a freedom to and not a freedom from, right? You have a freedom to carry a gun into a grocery store. You don't have a freedom from hunger, for example, right? So that's one example. But also, like, I have a freedom to not get the vaccine and still keep my job.
Starting point is 00:19:38 you don't have a freedom from a COVID unsafe workplace right because it's not just his boss his co-workers involved in this decision too there's like no obligation to other people that's what they want the freedom to they want the freedom to not have to care about anyone fucking else absolutely that's like the central like motivating factor I feel like with all of their shit is what you just said like just the complete inability to care about anybody else you know like it's just it's all about what directs them or if affects them personally and it's behind so many of their bullshit stances I feel like is that core tenant right there I saw a reporter from
Starting point is 00:20:22 his area saying this guy is trying very it's going back to it's not a gaff thing he's trying very hard to be in Minnesota's Marjor Taylor Green and along that tip he's like he's wanting to keep around he's a rising star he's called because Minnesota
Starting point is 00:20:38 still has legal abortion but surrounding states like for example Wisconsin is struggling to figure out of like a law from like to 1800 or whatever still counts so like there's like so people are fleeing from Wisconsin to Minnesota to get medical care
Starting point is 00:20:54 he's called for murder charges for people that come from out of state to get abortions anyone that helps including companies that play for the because some some corporations agree to reimburse employees for expenses when they travel and he's calling for like anyone involved in it. So I guess if a person gets on a flight, the Spirit Airlines pilot could be hauled up on murder charges for flying a pregnant woman across state lines. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Anyway, along that lines, he's, he tweeted this out because Dick Sporting Goods pledged up to $4,000 travel expenses for employees. He tweeted out Dick Sporting Goods desperately wants to kill children, which is just deeply funny sentence to me. Yeah, it's also like, you know, that they, them flipping out about all those companies offering reimbursement for employees to get abortions or whatever is, it's like, that's a very like corporate capitalistic policy, I feel like, because it's like, you know, pregnant employees that's going to cost them more money. You know what I'm saying? Like, if their employees are getting pregnant and you got maternity leaving all that shit that they
Starting point is 00:21:56 would rather not deal with and it like makes business sense for them to just pay for it. And, you know, it's like the type of free market, you know, thinking that you would assume that they'd be all on board with, but yeah, it has to do with abortion. So it's the exact opposite. Yeah, but I guess it solves that problem. We've got sued 10 times last year for firing women for getting pregnant. I have a solution for that. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, it's probably as, I mean, companies only do stuff for the money, but also it's just like it's, it's, these are called benefits for a reason. And you offer them to people to make it your job more appealing. So people will want to work for you, right? If nobody, employees, you want this benefit, it would nobody, they wouldn't
Starting point is 00:22:34 offer it. So yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, dude, like, I'm glad they do it, obviously. I'm just saying that, like, I don't feel like any kind of move like this is ever ultimately motivated by much of anything other than, you know, the bottom line or whatever. Do you know why we have employee provided health insurance? It's like my understanding, and I apologize we have the rough edge of this wrong here, but like during World War II, there's, in effect, the salary cap because the government was like, you know, everything was getting rationed and they were taxed and should have the people to pay for the war effort. So to get around that, companies offered health benefits as a way to attract employees, highly desirable employees, because they put a loophole in the tax code that had a national salary cap, and this is a work rate around it. So because of a loophole, we have a shitty health care system, and this is just another way of working around the system to try to offer your employees benefits in a time where, you know, it's an intense labor market, competition. Everybody's seeing the employment rate super low and people are going on strike and demanding raises.
Starting point is 00:23:32 So, yeah, Dix is just trying to stay afloat with their little. sporting goods operations, guys call them murders. Yep. Well, you know, you'll have that with these people. All right, let's get into it. As I said, new messages from Mark Meadows related to January 6th and the events leading up to it. And there's a whole bevy of Republican Congress people further implicated in these
Starting point is 00:23:55 new releases, many of which we knew already. But there's a whole big bunch of new messages that shed more light on just how much of a sorry-ass operation this was. So this text got leaked to talking points memo. Like that's the logo you saw on the screen TPM, which is like a liberal blog. And I don't know why they'd show. This is from the J-Six committee. And I'm not sure why they chose TPM.
Starting point is 00:24:22 But I did, before we get into the actual story, I had a really fun half an hour this afternoon where I was trying to figure out because talking about what's memo is run by a guy named Josh Marshall. And I was like, wait, Josh Marshall had some weird internet porn thing. And I was like, wait, I remember two Washington reporter porn things. Is it the tenacle porn guy? I was like, no, it's not the tenacle porn guy. Josh Marshall was watching porn actually tweeting out a porn uplink.
Starting point is 00:24:43 And it was actually pretty cool because when a reporter from like, everybody's making fun of him, like he had one of the, he was the main character, Twitter for like six hours, I made making fun of him. And then another reporter called him and asked about it. He's like, you know what? I watch porn. Everybody watches porn. I'm going to be ashamed of this and he'll go away in like times.
Starting point is 00:24:59 He didn't say it was happened. Well, because you, so this dude, this dude, it's liberal, presumably, he runs a liberal blog or whatever, he's a liberal, yeah, right. Well, that's like, you know, that's how you or respond to that if you're not like a, you know, sexually repressed, hypocritical lunatic where sex is concerned. Like, that's the only way. I mean, it is, that is a bit of a nightmare. I feel like for most people accidentally tweaking out a porn link and then becoming a trending topic
Starting point is 00:25:27 and everybody roasting you for, you know, jerking it mobily or whatever. But yeah, as far as how you handle it, I mean, that's the only play right there. And it went away almost immediately, which is a lesson here. Everyone else should take because it wasn't even anything, it wasn't anything to be embarrassed about it. It was just like two nice ladies having a good time. But then I was like, those wrecking up A and trying to remember who the tentacle porn guy was. And then I see another report talking about this exact same story named Kurt Eichenwald. And I was like, Kurt Eikenwall, he's the guy that tweeted out a screen grab of his computer with a link that said tentacle porn in it.
Starting point is 00:26:02 All right, so my afternoon came full circle. Anyway, to the story. It's nice when things work out, you know. Yeah, I'll put it out in the universe and answer my question. So these texts came out, some of which we already knew, but I think the deep question, the true question of our age is, do these people actually believe this shit or are they just pretending? That was the main thing that I wanted to, you know, talk about with you is that very question.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Because you read through these text messages and it's like, yeah, it certainly seems like, many of them at least genuinely believe all this crazy shit, you know. Yeah. So there's a little bit of actual news here, which we'll get to. But yeah, the premise for a patron episode on Friday was talking about, like, basically how we're surrounded by tons of right-wing psychos. We're all talking to each other on the dark web. And we don't see them all the time until they shoot out our power stations.
Starting point is 00:26:51 But they're also in our government. Yeah. So somebody has already been released, but not all of them, but they just don't them in a batch to talk about what's memo. But so far, they look through like 364. text messages from members of Congress, and 95 responses from Meadows, which is just funny because he's being annoyed by these crazy congressmen, semi-ghosting them, even though Meadows seems to believe some of it.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Fox News personalities are in there, a bunch of media figures, but the full scope of it had been known. One of them, this guy made me laugh, Ralph Norman, who, he's like a 70-year-old guy who's fairly new to Congress. He took over for, who did he take over for? I'll take you a second, sorry. One of those congressmen got promoted to Trump's administration. He's in the South Carolina's 5th District. He took over from McBulvaney. That's who he took over for. But so he tweeted, texted Mark Meadows, telling him to invoke martial law. He's called Marshall wrong. They always spell it wrong
Starting point is 00:28:02 And I'm like We are really really going to be ruled But people didn't understand Like what is you think martial law is like Spell putting Marshal Raylan Givens in charge Or like Yeah But giving it to the U.S. Marshals
Starting point is 00:28:15 Handing control over to them Yeah U.S. marshals, they've got better law So they've got like the best law So we need to institute Their type of law Which is of course referred to Yeah
Starting point is 00:28:26 As Marshall Law It's not a bad name for like a procedural. You know what I mean? Yeah. That main character's last name is Marge, like you said. Yeah. And then, yeah, martial law.
Starting point is 00:28:36 We should pitch that to CBS. I'm making out of it. Anyway, go ahead. Without looking it up, I'm going to bet there's a CBS or ABC procedural in the 70s called martial law. I will bet. You're probably right. So whenever I find out one of these psychos,
Starting point is 00:28:49 the first place I go is Wikipedia, which isn't like a perfect research point, but it's a good place to get the broad strokes of what someone's about. And literally the first thing under his tenure section of his Wikipedia is sexual assault joke um so yeah we're off to a good start what happened was during when during britt cabinol's nomination fight um he uh he was at an election debate for the republican nomination of primary debate and he started the debate by asking the audience did y'all hear about this late breaking news in the cavernal hearings ruth bader ginsberg came out saying she was groped by
Starting point is 00:29:19 abraham lincoln all right so that's that that that happened before he said that and then got the nomination then got elected um i love that the the perfect like uh like uh 80s comic format of that you know what i mean it's like you guys hear about this you guys hearing this and then uh yeah with the lincoln reference and everything i was i got admit i was a little surprised and uh i guess very mildly impressed at the fact that i unless i missed it is wikipedia does not have a hitler section no comments about hitler section, which I was surprised because that turns up a lot, you know, a praising Hitler section of the Wikipedia, and he at least has avoided that.
Starting point is 00:30:04 He did have a meeting with Mom's Demand Action, was a gun control group, and took out his gun from his desk and put it on the table. So, yeah. He was trying to make a point that guns aren't the problem. Here, I have a gun, and I'm not killing you, but you could see how that would be considered the threat. That's crazy. Because I'm assuming that many of those in that.
Starting point is 00:30:25 group like that, especially at the high level, like the, you know, the, the people that are going and meeting with elected officials and stuff and a, you know, a mother's four gun control type group. Like, they've probably been affected by the shit or, you know, in some way. And then for this to pull a gun out and put it on the table while meeting with them as wild. He also, he also backed Steve King, right, which in Steve King was like a big white supremacist, big racist. So, you know, he's yeah he's he's he's in there he just hasn't got to hitler yet i assume it'll come up at some yeah steve king famously kept a confederate flag in his office even though he's a congressman from iowa iowa yeah uh it doesn't it's not good to have you from anywhere but it's pretty explicable there's only one absolutely look in iowa yeah uh so a guy that crazy was texting the white house chief of staff uh uh uh or getting or sending urgent text to invoke martial law spelled incorrectly and apparently got a warm reception from the president's chief of staff that's the takeaway here another big player in here is uh the freedom caucus chair scott
Starting point is 00:31:34 perry who appears to be fully off the fucking deep end he was fully in on like the uh italian spy satellites over throwing the election he thought the CA teamed up with united kingdom to throw the election um he he was he was urging to seize all the voting machines in pennsylvania Georgia and Arizona. He was texting like 30 times an hour. He's fully fucking insane. He tried to, this is very weird because he thought CIA director Gina Haspel was one of the people secretly behind rigging the election.
Starting point is 00:32:11 But also the people he wanted to put in charge and overseeing the recount was a group called National Endowment for Democracy, which is a grant making operation for foreign NGOs. On the board sits Elise Stefonic, who's Republican Congress from New York, and Elliot Abrams, who was the psycho, who was involved in Iran-Contra and the School for Americas and all the coup shit,
Starting point is 00:32:31 South America in the 80s, and didn't get, he was sentenced for Iran-Contra, but then pardoned, anyway, Trump putting back in the administration when he got elected because, of course, he did. What I'm saying is, like, he thinks the CIA over through the election, but this organization clearly reads to me like a CIA front. They're handing out money to
Starting point is 00:32:47 overseas groups, who want to fight socialism, comment. This guy doesn't even know anything about how the world works or how the government works. And he's in the government. It's probably the fifth most powerful Republican in Congress right now. Right. This is like, this is a perfect example of what we mentioned earlier to me. It's like reading through these in the article and stuff from this guy in particular,
Starting point is 00:33:08 it was like in my head, I was like, this guy seems like he really believes all this crazy shit. Because like, honestly, with these, with actual Congress people and stuff like that who were wrapped up in January, six. I figured that most of them, you know, knew that it was some bullshit, but we're just trying to play the card anyway because they thought they could get away with it. You know what I mean? Like they wanted Trump to remain president and they were going to come hell or high water. They were going to figure out a way to justify that. And the truth was immaterial to them. Right. And I think a lot of them are that way. But I'm saying and reading through this and with this guy in particular, I started thinking, I was like, dude, some of these people like 100% actually believe this shit in their head. And that's like way scarier, honestly, because I don't know which one's worse. They're both pretty damn bad. But having, like you said, a high level, you know, relatively powerful Republican congressman who is fully roped into like hardcore deep web conspiracy theories and shit. And trying to use those to justify a literal coup is, that's some wild, wild shit right there.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Yeah. So you remember the release the Cracking Lady, Sidney Powell? yeah of course the one who was like on the lamb ducking subpoenas from Dominion voting systems because they sued her trying to sue her for $1.4 billion
Starting point is 00:34:28 or whatever they finally caught her and had to like trap her in her draft way and shove the subpoena through the fucking car window so he apparently is the one who suggested Trump hook up with Sidney Powell
Starting point is 00:34:41 so the one thing you did get accomplished from this is ruining Cindy Powell's fucking life so to that I say thank you sir so another big player here is Andy Biggs who appears to be somewhere between like true believer and just cynical power grabber he was trying to overthrow the election in Arizona and he said had some crazy shit in there
Starting point is 00:35:07 like thinking that a bunch of illegal immigrants undocumented immigrants voted and somehow complaining about Native Americans voting which I don't really underneath it Yeah, it's like, are they, are they not supposed to be able to? And this guy said, he's like, they voted in their own, they got their own elections. We let them have that. That's how it works.
Starting point is 00:35:25 They're not supposed to be voting in ours. He did. They're not real Americans. The Native Americans. Yeah, the ones here at first, don't care. But he was like, he didn't have any sort of spin on it. He just sort of pointed out the Native Americans voted. And I guess Mark Meadows is supposed to understand his implication, I don't, I couldn't even, I couldn't even read me racism to it.
Starting point is 00:35:42 It's just like, hey, Native Americans voted. Okay. The craziest part of this was the independent state legislature theory. He was a big proponent of that, which we talked about a couple weeks ago. There's a Supreme Court case they're arguing about right now about the Constitution gives the power of state legislatures to set the parameters for an election. But they're saying they have all the power, meaning even if they set their state constitution to require voting, they can decide not to count the votes and fucking do whatever they want
Starting point is 00:36:13 because the Constitution is to state legislatures, which means this. the state legislatures wouldn't have to follow the own constitutions that the state legislatures devise and set up, which doesn't make any fucking sense. Right. But anyway, so that at least has a legal framework. That's the thing is, like, when you talk about the election being rigged and all these different types of psychos, they're saying different types of stuff, like, you got the QAnon people that thing was Italian satellites and the CIA, right?
Starting point is 00:36:34 You've got the federalist society types who think about the, talk about the independent state legislature theory and how, like, the founders didn't foresee mail voting and all this shit and then you got like part of what Elon's doing with the Twitter files is when people like Trump say the election was rigged to includes big tech censorship in that so part of what Elon's laying out is that January 6th was justified because some right wing
Starting point is 00:36:57 counts were diminished on Twitter because that was part of the rigging, right? So it's like there's so many flavors of psycho in this movement that it's hard to keep them all straight to see which part of they believe or whether they believe all of it even though some parts are mutually exclusive. Yeah, because it's wild to me to think Like where if you're one of these people
Starting point is 00:37:15 Wherever they're at on the Looney spectrum And some of them there is no line But it's just weird Like I wonder where the line is for some of them Do you know what I mean? Like they're used to say, I believe all this other shit But they're like Italian spy satellites
Starting point is 00:37:27 That's clearly made up You know, whatever But the Dominion voting machines Hey, something's fucky there It just feels like you'd either be down the rabbit hole completely Or you know have a brain that works to me. But you're right, though.
Starting point is 00:37:42 They are, they clearly are, they do exist on that. Yeah. This, this was already public, but the, Kevin McCarthy's response to it was public, but not the what he was responding to.
Starting point is 00:37:55 But when, this guy, Andy Biggs is pitching him on the idea of using the independent state legislature theory so the legislatures and the governors can just throw the election to Trump and ignore the fucking voters, Meadows responded, I love it.
Starting point is 00:38:08 So, can you remember, imagine going to prison because you respond and love it to a fucking illegal plan that yeah a lot of the it definitely you know mark meadows was obviously like he was pretty busy when all this was going on but a lot of these it felt like he was just sort of placating them or something because yeah he's just like okay yeah sounds good all right like it you know and i feel like he's on the other end like jesus fucking christ yeah i get one more text message from scott perry today i'm not trying to make up excuses for him it just doesn't know like he's yeah it probably
Starting point is 00:38:39 was like that because there are other text messages from people who aren't in on this conspiracy theory where he seems like go along and get along with them too, right? Yeah. He just, Meadows is clearly just trying to get to January 20th at noons. He can fucking just leave and wash his hands of this and twist it.
Starting point is 00:38:53 And Trump's good enough graces with Trump so you can make a bunch of money off of him, which he has. He runs like some of his packs that Trump runs his money through. So, but in Georgia, so apparently Meadows was texting with a guy named Jordan Fuchs who's Brad Raffensberger. He's the Georgia Secretary
Starting point is 00:39:09 I've stated would not go along with any of this stuff. Trump's infamous phone call with Georgia that is being investigated, apparently Meadows was live texting the phone call with Jordan Fuchs. And here's their takeaway. Here's where they're texting in the middle of this phone call. We should, Jordan Fuchs, we should end this call. I don't think this will be productive much longer. Meadows.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Okay. Let's save the relationship. Thank you. Wow. So here's this Jordan Fuchs guy being like, hey, this call is being recorded, can you please stop doing this so we can all not be implicated in any sort of criminal trial? And Meadows is like, okay. And then the gas says, wow, when the phone calls over. So they all knew it was bad at the fucking time. Well, dude, you know Mark Meadows
Starting point is 00:39:54 couldn't do shit to get Trump off that phone at that particular moment. You know what I mean? Like texting being like, hey, you know, rain him in. You know what I mean? It's like, you can't do that shit. There ain't no way. Now, Don Jr. was all up in Mark Meadows text about Georgia too and he was also fully bought into this independent state
Starting point is 00:40:15 legislation theory but so which brings us to Marjor Taylor Green all right because this doesn't anything to do with the text messages
Starting point is 00:40:22 but I just want to talk about a few ways in which January 6th is ongoing okay this is Mark that same speech or large brain
Starting point is 00:40:31 Marge talked about butt plugs we talked about the beginning of the show that was at a dinner host about the New York
Starting point is 00:40:36 Young Republican Club where she was being awarded the Richard M. Nixon Prize for public service. I mean, I guess I can't argue with that, really. Like, that, you know, that seems fair. She's a valid recipient of that particular award from where I'm sitting. Dude, I didn't really know a ton about Watergate until, like, a couple years ago when I was to a podcast about it.
Starting point is 00:41:02 It's much crazier than how it's filtered down to the public imagination. Like, really, it's like a little cut rate burglary, right? mixed and covered up. The guys, the White House plovers dudes had a whole list of plans, one of which was firebombing the Brookings Institution
Starting point is 00:41:17 because they were a moderate center-left anti-vietnam war think tank and also kidnapping American anti-war protesters and shipping them to Vietnam to be tortured. Like, none of them flipped
Starting point is 00:41:30 except for one guy who told the least John Dean and told the minimum amount. So we'll never know what the fuck else they got up to and they only got caught because they had to break in a second time because they fucked up planning
Starting point is 00:41:38 the first wiretap. Anyway, they're giving out the Richard of Nixon Public Service Award for psychos who try to overthrow the government and start themselves as dictators. Large Brain Marge at a dinner where she chooses to say this, hit the video map. And I'm going to tell you so that if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention it would have been armed. If I had actually been behind January 6th, we would have killed way more people. It's such a crazy thing to just say in public. I mean, that's what she does.
Starting point is 00:42:23 That's her whole thing. And it's how she's getting the Richard M. Nixon Award. But, yeah, it's wild because it's like fully endorsing January 6th, like, completely. The only problem with it is that it didn't work. and then it's like narcissistic on top of that it's like had I been involved that definitely would have worked which like no fucking way
Starting point is 00:42:44 her inclusion into the planning of anything does not improve upon the end result of that thing yeah she'd have been shot with that QAnon Psycho she sounds like Mark Wahlberg talking about 9-11 like if I'm afraid it wouldn't have gone down now yeah
Starting point is 00:43:01 so I wanted to point out the context in which all this is happening because Brett Kavanaugh just fucking went to a big Christmas party with all the right-wing psychos who are trying to overthrow the government and schmooves it up with them, all these fucking idiots, Matt Schlapp, here's how somebody summed it up calling the party from hell. A sitting Supreme Court justice was spotted at a party with multiple white nationalists, a Nazi colluder, and a sex trafficking pedophile. And we're talking to the independent state legislature theory.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Again, the Supreme Court just heard this case. he's smoozing with all these psychos who believe in this insane bullshit that's incompatible with our modern American ideal of freedom which is you know we get to vote for our leaders and this video it's boring and dry so I chose not to put it in the rundown but during bush v gore brett cavanall was on george bush's legal team and they gave an interview with wolf blitzer where he talked up the independent state legislature theory and said that florida should just send the electors for bush and let's be done with it right Fuck counting the votes.
Starting point is 00:44:06 That's bullshit. The Constitution doesn't require it, which is sort of true. But again, the Constitution isn't compatible with their modern American idea of freedom, where we get the vote. Voting isn't mentioned in the Constitution, as we talked about before. Also, this story came out, I think, yesterday about January 6 being ongoing. The, I don't. Let me go back. Before we get to that, this story came out today.
Starting point is 00:44:30 There was one person who, January 6 was going to be bad, who worked the Department of Homeland Security. Right. You and I knew it was bad, it would be bad, we talked about before. Everyone on the Internet knew it was bad. There was one 21-year-old intelligence analyst working Department of Homeland Security who got on Reddit to look for good fishing spots around D.C. And stumbled into a bunch of people who had blueprints to storm the Capitol and execute members of Congress and law enforcement certification of electoral votes to make Joe Biden the next president. And then this person, this was in December 20th when he discovered the coup plotting on the fishing subreddit. Right. That's what's funny to me is it's like the overlap, I guess, between a fishing subreddit and planning a coup on the internet.
Starting point is 00:45:13 It's like, I wonder if they're getting them mixed up in the comments. You know what I mean? Somebody's like, you know, trout are really biting down at whatever. And somebody's like, no, we're not on there right now. That's what I'm saying the other thread. We're talking about sedition. It's like, oh, sedition. Okay, my bad.
Starting point is 00:45:26 But yeah, anybody where you get some flies, you make your own flies? How does that work? And it's like, we're not doing that right now, Bobby. Yeah, it's pretty silly. There's always somebody who, it's like you said. a lot of sane people were like, I think this is going to be pretty bad. But after the fact, you always find out there was someone, you know, in government or whatever who knew some shit was going to go down and nobody listens to them.
Starting point is 00:45:47 It's like a plot line from a, you know, a bad action thriller or something. Like, they never lose. He's just a kid or whatever. Yeah. This person like after, remember, DHS was formed after 9-11 to increase intelligence sharing. Right. And there's a person who's screaming, we need to let people know about this. and the people are responsible, the whole point of the agency
Starting point is 00:46:08 is to increase intelligence sharing and they refuse to absolutely tell anyone. Here's a chat log from this 21-year-old. This is from January 1st. Also, I found a map of all the exits and entrances to the Capitol building. I feel like people are actually going to try and hurt politicians. January 6 is going to be crazy.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Then on January 3rd, he or she said, I'm going to profile on assume it's a dude because they're looking for fishing spots, but I don't fucking know. I mean, people are talking about storming Congress, bringing guns, willing to die for the cause, hanging politicians with ropes, but still not meeting the threshold, L.O.L. He said LOL and a DHS check, but no one listened to this is going to be fucking nuts.
Starting point is 00:46:44 This is like, I don't know. The threshold for action or whatever is what he means. Like, he's presenting the shit to people. And they're like, that doesn't meet the threshold for an actionable find or whatever. Yeah. We should tell the FBI and the Ashba Guard and the Capitol Police, this is going to be really bad. It's like, I don't think it meets the threshold. It's like, there are blueprints for the Capitol.
Starting point is 00:47:05 talking about bringing guns. They got me hanging politicians. They're so they willing to die. They're like, that's the internet. It doesn't count. It's like, okay. But. Yeah, and it's like you said, the whole agency,
Starting point is 00:47:17 the whole purpose of the agency was ostensibly to, like, not let that, because that type of thing is like what happened in the lead up to 9-11. And then, like, DHS was supposed to, the idea was supposed to be, we've got to avoid that type of thing in the future. Some real bad shit might happen. But the more things change,
Starting point is 00:47:34 They say the same. Bin Laden determined to attack inside U.S., the famous memo goes. But Condoleezza Rice was made National Security Advisor because she was an expert in Russia, which is going to be a big foe of the early part of the 20th century. And she looked at that and said, well, that's not Russia. And George Bush is on vacation, so 9-11 happened. Again, this person, this intelligence analyst worked in THS. Another story from a couple days ago.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Hundreds of members of extremist group oathkeepers work for U.S. Department of Homeland Security leaked roster shows. More than 300 people identify themselves as current former employees of DHS belong to the oathkeepers. I mean, not just belong on their active roles. I'm assuming some people are smart enough to go to the meetings and not fucking put their names down on the list. But 250,000 people work for DHS, so 300 is not like a huge drop in the bucket. But 98% of our government seems to be asleep at the wheel, but these psychos go about their business, blowing up power stations, trying to install judges. you know, pushing obscure constitutional theories
Starting point is 00:48:37 that allow us to not have to vote anymore or get to vote. Kidnapping governors and shit. Kidnapping governors. And then everybody in charge, 98% of them are just totally fucking sleep at the wheel and 2% of them are in on it. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:48:50 somebody more powerful than me needs to be concerned about this. I know. That's what I was saying. At the very top of the show, talking about the substations, I'm saying like reading through it, that's what I made. I was like,
Starting point is 00:49:00 this is like, this is free. freaking me out because, like, you said, it feels like, feels like this should maybe be a bigger deal than it is. Like, it just seems like everybody's like, ah, hell. They're just talking. They'll be fine or whatever. It's like, no, somebody needs to be watching these motherfuckers because they're going to try
Starting point is 00:49:16 some shit. It's like January 6th was a fucking dry run, you know? They're going to happen. Something else is going to fucking happen. And we never could have seen this coming, you know, it's like, no, we could have and should have. You just wouldn't. We talked about on Friday's episode, the scene.
Starting point is 00:49:32 got a hold of a 14-page plan that right-wingers are passing around the internet on how to disable power stations. CNN has it, and the government is like, man, that doesn't count. And then power stations go down. They're like, well, we don't know if these are connected. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:46 And then 300 DHS members are in the oathkeepers. Oathkeepers do January 6th while DHS does nothing. And they're like, no, not connected. Nothing's connected. By the way, if you've lost track, oathkeepers or the organization that was until last week when he was convicted of seditious conspiracy, run by the iPad Psycho, Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, who, by the way, he was in
Starting point is 00:50:09 the military, which I always assumed how he lost his eye, but nope, the motherfucker shot his own eye out, so it wasn't even in, yeah, that checks out. Okay, well, Matt, find us some questions and comments stuff, put them up there, and we'll get to that. Yeah, well, wait for that. Do you see Elon? go Q and on, Tray? I saw him get booed off the stage at the Chappelle show. Yeah, every time
Starting point is 00:50:41 somebody treats him in a way, he doesn't feel like he deserves, he goes further and further right. And anyway, this morning he tweeted I'll follow the white rabbit, which is a Q and non thing. He's also been calling it. It's so transparent. I feel like how exactly how that works, which is like,
Starting point is 00:50:58 you know, the people who shit on him, he's like, how he just is so easily pushed further and further into the arms of the only people who are still willing to fillate him all the time. Do you know what I mean? Like idolize him. He used to be,
Starting point is 00:51:12 he used to openly talk about being a Democrat or whatever, more leftish when he was like the next Tony Star, or the real Tony Stark and all that shit. Now they're telling people that are still sucking him off all the time are fucking fringe lunatics, all of a sudden Elon is going down that very same path. Nicole Johnson says, Try your haircut looks very nice.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Well, thank you. It's very sweet of you to say. I appreciate it. Kay Dubs says like and he says link but like and subscribe y'all. Appreciate you. Yeah, do all that internet stuff for us. We would appreciate it. It helps
Starting point is 00:51:44 somehow. It wasn't just following the White Rabbit thing. He also fired his whole safety and product team and product safety team and called them all pedophiles. And one of his head of public safety, he said that he's trying to get rid of child porn on Twitter and then eliminated all the people who take it off
Starting point is 00:52:00 and said they wanted child porn on center. Now the guy who stayed at the company when he bought it, trying to fix all this stuff, who he then fired, is now in hiding because he's getting death threats for being a pedal follow on the ground. Jesus Christ. Hey, Yah, 320 says,
Starting point is 00:52:14 what the fuck is the white rabbit shit? Q&ON is detached from reality. That's not shocking, but they tend to see the world through the lens of entertainment. So, like, when they talk about, when they say, get your popcorn, they mean the show's about to start, meaning the mass executions are about to start.
Starting point is 00:52:29 And release the crack in as a reference to a movie. Follow the White Rabbit is about. taking the red pill, it's from, you know, from Alice in Wonderland and the Matrix. The little pill, was it, what were the pills in? I can't even remember which one is which, but I know the red pill is, the red pill is the one for actual reality, I think, I think, because I know that there's like a subreddit, the red pill and stuff where it's like these dudes who think they've, they're in sales, basically, but it's them being like, this is the truth about what's really going on with society.
Starting point is 00:53:00 And it's that, you know, women suck. I don't know. I'm not clear on all the... Don't work too hard. Yeah. Don't work too hard trying to figure it out. You're just like drive yourself crazy. But like red pill means like you wake up and you see the world as it is.
Starting point is 00:53:14 They're all being held down by feminism and stuff. Black pill means you're full nihilist. Now, insults, it's considered themselves black pill. That's when you're just like, LOL and nothing matters. Let's kill stuff. You know, say, yeah. Yeah. Christy Van Hoff says still waiting on JFK Jr. to show up.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Yeah, those people still in Texas, Mark? Whatever happened to that? I lost the thread on them. Yeah, I think they just sort of fizzed out. I mean, they had to run out of money eventually. They were camped out in Daly Plaza for like months. There's probably just a couple of like, you know, homeless people, like around that general area. Or that's what everybody thinks.
Starting point is 00:53:45 But it's actually just the last few of those, you know, they're still there. They just now are homeless people. Yeah. Ragtop, DL, Z, L1 says, thanks trade for the set in Omaha, keeping it blue. Yeah. I don't know if you mean in a liberal way or in a cussing way, but I guess. I do both. So I'm not sure if people know in comedy terms,
Starting point is 00:54:06 working blue means dirty. It means dirty. But again, either way applies to me. So, yeah. Yeah. Thank you, sir. You're on your Bill Hicks? Yeah, well, now look, I think, you know,
Starting point is 00:54:19 all the respect in the world for Bill Hicks, but everybody does comedy knows that like, you know, when you're starting out in comedy, any scene you're in, there's going to be a bunch of Bill Hicks clones at it. And basically, these are just dudes who think that they just get up there and just scream their opinions at the crowd. And if the crowd doesn't laugh at them,
Starting point is 00:54:37 even if there's no jokes involved, that means the crowd's too stupid to understand their genius, essentially. And so fuck those guys. The actual Bill Hicks, though, obviously, you know.
Starting point is 00:54:48 Yeah, he's great. He's also not what people think of him. Like, it's like, you watch the documentaries about him. He worked extremely clean. His parents were preachers and shit.
Starting point is 00:54:56 And he, like, snuck out of the house. He's, he's like, work clean and wore a tie and did jokes about his parents. He learned that it'd be funny before he did the, there is no God stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:03 Right. Christy Frazier says, glad to see you both feeling better. Yeah, thank you. Appreciate it. Much better. Up swing over here. I'm about to go to Tennessee for three weeks of my family.
Starting point is 00:55:14 And last year when we did that, both the boys were sick basically the whole time. So hoping that don't happen again. Try and tell ourselves because we were all sick a couple weeks ago, that somehow means we won't get sick again. But that's not how any of that works. But, you know, fingers crossed. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Yeah, I'm definitely good. got to go to Virginia than Florida. I'm definitely getting COVID in Florida. Again, there's no way of it. Yeah, right. What are you supposed to do? You can't avoid it. I guess on that front, since it's been brought up while you are watching, there will be just so everybody knows right now, and we've done this every year. The Tuesday between Christmas and New Year's Eve, there will not be askears. I intend to have something next week. Something will be posted at the normal time. It's just sort of in there right now exactly what's going to be, but I'll have something. for you and otherwise we'll try to keep the trains running on time and whatnot as the holidays
Starting point is 00:56:07 commence jules t says any take on cinema being a trojan horse what's the did we did me talk so whatever she's doing is fucking stupid nothing she's doing independent yeah so like meaning a trojan horse like fucking up the election there for that like by running as an independent and I mean I think just being uh she's not doing anything to hurt the democratic caucus currently other than her normal like centrist bullshit about her votes which is staying the same as it was when she was a democrat because she's so caucusing with them she appears to be like declaring as an independent seems to be a lawyer sort of a threat that she was going to lose a primary right but now she's saying I'm running as an independent so if you have a if you nominate a candidate I'm going to
Starting point is 00:56:54 put the vote three ways right no one likes her there's more like Kristen cinema for fan base there. So like she's going to run and she might be able to cause the Democrats to lose by getting by getting that two to five percent of the votes from thoroughly confused people. Yeah, I don't understand who like, you know, a staunch Democrat voter in Arizona. I don't know why they would, you know, follow Kirsten Cinema, you know, and vote independent or whatever. If you're pivoting to be a lobbyist, because that's how they all make their money when they leave office, if all your fucking colleagues hate you, who the
Starting point is 00:57:32 fuck you lobby? Right. Aaron McCullough says she's avoiding a primary is what she's doing because she knows the Arizona Dems would primary the fuck out of her. Yeah, I mean, that's what we're saying though. Like, I just still don't think that's I don't think that's going to work. I mean, it will work in that she won't be primaried because she's not a Democrat anymore. But like, yeah, it's not going to help her keep her seat. Right. There's no way she keeps her seat. She's just going to lose with less dignity than she would the other way
Starting point is 00:57:56 around. She could also just not run. She can look at the polling data. Yeah, dude, honestly, I had been assuming that she was taking it for granted that she wasn't going to, you know, have another term after this one. Like, I figured she was already looking down the road to
Starting point is 00:58:12 whatever, consultant, lobbyist or whatever, speaking shit, all that other stuff they do after the fact, boards of directors and whatnot. I figured she was already planning all that shit out, and that's why some of her favors, you know, were aimed at, I assume. But like if she, she could have quietly left after this term, given up her seat, and taken a board seat on some, whatever corporations she, who's, you know, water she's been carrying and got, been rich and probably no one would have noticed.
Starting point is 00:58:41 But if she tries to get those same positions after running a campaign where she takes two and a half percent of the vote, but leads to Blake Masters being a senator from fucking Arizona, she's going to be untouchable. No one's going to want her under boy. It's like, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. But, um, all righty. So yeah, I want to remind you all again. Go to Trey Crowder.com. Check out my tour dates come and see me.
