Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews - 1/23/24 – Gone DeSantis

Episode Date: January 24, 2024

Tonight we talk (and laugh) about the long overdue end to perhaps the most disastrous and disappointing presidential campaign in living memory: that of Florida Governor and noted spaghetti person Ron DeSantis. Along the way we get into Trump’s increasingly poor mental state, some truly absurd laws coming out of Oklahoma, and more. Join us. Support the show

what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you like them new graphics that's right producer might have been in the lab cooking some stuff up for you all freshen the place up a bit i'm tray that's mark it's january 23rd 2024 here we are how you doing mark good but i was uh watching the new zorro show this morning while i was doing cardio and they have a girl zorro now man zoro's gone woke tray I didn't know there's a new Zorro show on what? Yeah, it's on prime. There's like multiple Zorro's one of them.

It's like an indigenous woman. It's own prime. It's a few of like, you know, swashbuckling of romance where, you know, fighting you back against some evil Spanish land variants and you like, you don't mind subtitles. It's awesome. Oh, it's not,

it's so it's Spanish or something or? Yeah. Okay. All right. But yeah, if you're wondering when California went woke, it was the 19th century back when they still had muskets. So,

to update one thing, we talked about in a bonus episode the other day, we were talking about Supreme Court stuff, and I mentioned that Supreme Court had chosen not to weigh in on a border dispute between the Texas state government and the federal government over who gets to set immigration policy because, you know, the state had put up a bunch of razor wire, and the feds were like, we actually control the border, and Abbott was like, no, I'm the president when it comes to this. Anyway, the Supreme Court finally decided to wait in over three weeks of dithering, and by a five to four vote, pretty close, they decided that Joe Biden is in fact the president.

So that worked that well. So I get kind of a dumb question, but like, was it just that like the razor wire thing, was it more of like viewed as just an overstep by Texas from the federal government? Like, hey, you don't, that's not your purview to do that. Or was it like a, hey, we disagree with there being razor wire here specifically and we want it gone? It's just about whether the state of Texas can disregard decisions made by the President of the United States and laws passed, duly passed by Congress of the United States, which we find. a big war about in the 1860s.

And it was close, and the decision here, five to four, split decision on that question on whether the federal government is actually more powerful than Texas. And they actually haven't weighed in because Texas National Guard is blocking border patrol and the regular army from getting to parts of the border. They haven't waited on that yet. So still the potential for like, we're still in a weird Mexican standoff between different government agencies. And by the way, this stuff started because like migrants were drowning and Texas National

Guard and state troopers would not let Customs and Border Patrol rescue them while they're trapped in the Razor Wire. And the idea that they're being too cruel for Border Patrol. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like none of this, there's not a lot of benevolent actors here when it comes to migrants. And they're just like, it's its team, let them drown while trapped in razor wire or belatedly rescue them from drowning and trapped in a rescue reason wire. So the Border Patrol, that's the federal, right? Yeah. In Texas, they have their own separate border patrol thing.

The National Guard. Operation Lone Star, Greg Abbott's, it's got many facets. They fuck up border traffic by randomly searching trucks and not finding anything. They've deployed all these troops, National Guard troops to the border endlessly, and they're like, are literally drinking themselves to death and committing suicide because they're doing a pointless fucking mission. And Greg Abbott's ordering them to present Border Patrol from getting to the border, which legally, it's not.

ideal, but border patrol, according to the law, has access to operate, to permission operate within 25 miles of the border. Anywhere in the United States was pretty much the entire population lives in 20 miles of the border. And then, anyway, it doesn't matter. I just wanted to update the thing we talked about, but it's all so fucking stupid. Before we get to the show, I want to tell you about one thing that just drives me absolutely crazy about our country, about like, how the legal regime exists to torture and kill homeless

people. This is a story out of Brian Ohio, a pastor named Chris Avel is from a church called Dad's Place. He was arraigned last week because he kept his church open 24-7 to provide, you know, warmth to people who don't have homes. Yeah, crazy cold out there and most of the rest of the country. I mean, you know, we're cold here in L.A. too. It's like 52 degrees, so people are struggling. But yeah, it's been wildly, wildly frigid in the rest of the country recently and, you know, being homeless in that situation, especially in the Midwest, not fun. So, yeah, this preacher guy was like saying, well, I've got a church and, you know, churches are supposed to help people ostensibly. So yeah, the church has got a heater in. How about you

chill in here? And the state or the government said, no, can't do that. How about you? I'll tell you, I'll explain the legal mechanism in a second, but just as Trey was talking about the national, according to the National Weather Service, an estimated 45% of the country's population was under a windshield warning or advisory for dangerous cold on January 15th. If you're wondering, 700 people die of hypothermia annually in the United States while being homeless. And the nation's unhoused population grew by 12% in 2023. So because it's colder and more people are outside, you can expect that 700 number to go up this year. So Aval was trying to do some about this.

But unfortunately, Ohio law prohibits residential use in first floor buildings in a business district. So because the church's own is a central business, the buildings are restricted from allowing people to eat or sleep on the property, which, how are you going to tell people can't eat in a church? You can't have fucking Sunday potlucks? Right. Fundamental to church and I thought. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know the churches were considered businesses, I guess for zoning. You know, there's only like a couple of different designations. It might be specific to this church and where it is or whatever.

But so the Evel said, this is how I worship my God and I just want to be able to worship God. So this is the premise of this is based upon the. fire code. So the logic of this is that he's the one putting these homeless people's lives at risk by letting them sleep indoors when the wind chill is negative 10 degrees. Right. And the shamelessness, like if

I'm a fucking city code inspector or a cop or a city councilman who's like carrying out this, I would be like have deep shame, man. So they sent him a letter. You've got to cease and desist and basically told them to fuck off. And I'm wondering like this guy, like here's a guy

who's actually living out Christian values. Right. That's what I was going to say. And these people who I'm betting all put their church front foremost when they're running for office or telling them you can't act like Jesus. Yeah. I mean, we all know that they're not, that many of our Christians, especially prominent Christians, are not like Christ-like. Like, it's not news. But it's like, apparently it's illegal to be a good Christian.

Like, it's illegal to be Christ-like. You know what I mean? And it's, you know, the opposite is also true. Like, you, you know, you prosper by being, you know, a fake Christian. And it's always important to note that Jesus was executed by the state for being an advocate for the poor and downtrodden. So he did file a lawsuit. He pleaded not guilty at his January 11th arraignment. And just today he sued the city claiming discrimination on the basis of his religion, which I was like, where's the First Amendment lawsuit here?

Because he's just practicing his faith. Like, if you, like, if, like, natives can get, like, can sue for permission to take peyote, why can't this guy be like, I'm just trying to live out my, you know, Christian deep beliefs by taking care of the poor and down trying? And they're like, nope, can't do it. So, yeah, go ahead. It just, I mean, it just shouldn't, I mean, of course, you're right about all that, but it's just like, it just shouldn't even need to be done. You know what I mean? You shouldn't have to take, take it to court to, you know, feed someone, especially when you run a church. I mean, no one should. You know, it should be true for anybody, but like, you know, it's a church. He's doing what a church, you would hope a church would do. And so many of them don't. And hell, maybe this is why, because the law says you can't. I don't know.

Right. But there's like, this idea that like homeless people just are motivated to live indoors, even though it's like five degrees outside. So we just make more and more miserable. Exactly. That's why I was, yeah, I was going to say that too. Like people just like, like, you know, on those, like on park benches and stuff that they make with like, you know, bars going across like segmented so it's impossible to lay down on or play under certain you know places where they think homeless people go they'll just put like spikes there so so you know you can't lay down it's like yeah we're just we'd much prefer to make them even more miserable like you said torture them basically than to ever even consider trying to give any kind of like you know assistance or anything and yeah I guess in their minds it's like we got to motivate them to get the shit to

together. They just haven't been properly motivated for shit together. So this should do it. Yeah. And one night sleeping indoors where they're not freezing to death, isn't it? Like, we'll take all the pressure off of them. But like there's a, it's amazing to me how much like being in a position of authority can break your brain when it comes to this ship. Because when normal people look at it, it's fairly obvious that like this is inhumane. The government should do something about it. If the government's not doing anything that a regular person should. So here's a case in Houston, an organization called Food Not Bombs, which has been handing out food for decades to Houston, homeless people in Houston. and they get like they constantly get ticketed and arrested for it um like 500 of pop fine for feeding homeless people without permission from the from the city so they were tried to have a trial recently and I guess for these little code violation trials

you just get a jury of three people so they brought in 15 people to try to find three to hear the case and none of them couldn't see the jury because everybody's like wait a minute no I can't be impartial they're giving sandwiches to homeless people and you're trying to find them $500 for it what the fuck you talking about? I mean, I'm heartened by that a little bit. You know what I mean? Yes. That all 15 of them, you know, drew that conclusion, because I wouldn't have been

surprised in Texas, you took 15 random people if, you know, at least a couple of them were like, hell yeah, it's what, you know, it's what they need. Like you said, motivate them. But you can't be feeding them. They'll just, it's like a stray cat. They'll keep coming around and expecting it more, you know, like that type of thing. But apparently this

has been the norm, like, here's from this article here, roughly 90 tickets have been issued since March to Volunteers with the Lucy organized or organization where it serves meals to people in need near the central library. The city has yet to win a single case. The one case that reached a verdict was decided for the plaintiff. So like out of 90 tickets, they haven't been to get a single $500 fine. They're just continually harassing these people.

And I've seen, I've seen videos this organization. They just stay, they go out, they hand out food. The cop shows up, give them a ticket. The guy says thank you. It goes back to feeding the homeless people. It happens every fucking week. Anyway, I quote this legal expert here. at the end of the day, the jury has to decide,

is this guy a criminal, or is he a good neighbor? I can see the jury saying, this guy is a good neighbor. Yeah, exactly. But I just reminded me of, like, I have a buddy who works in, like, he's like head of code enforcement. It's like a mid-sized city.

And so his department's supposed to, like, they get complaints about people who haven't cut the grass and just put to go out and give him tickets. But instead, he started a program where, like, if you don't have a lawnmower, your lawmower's broken down, but it's loaned you a lawmore.

And if you mow it, you don't get the ticket if you're able to. Right. And he got screamed at city council meetings for this, but people, by neighbors who wanted their neighbor ticket. They don't want the grass cut, but they just want to see somebody punished. And I doesn't know how to exist in this fucking crazy ass country with these people. I know. That's what I'm saying. That's why I was kind of surprised about the thing you said about the jurors that were brought in there.

You know, it's because I would expect more of them to be like that because, you know, we all know those people. They all exist. Especially if you're talking about in like a neighborhood and shit, like, you know what I mean? the HOA types and stuff who just like just I don't know seem to live to see their neighbors go have some issues or you know go through some shit or whatever I don't know yeah yeah my buddy who like a sane person working in government who breaks his heart to issue a couple hundred or fine to a broke person with a broken law more so he comes up with a workaround for it that's successful and everyone gets mad at him and if they're not it's not even like I can see

the city being mad for being deprived of the revenue as cold-hearted as that is But, like, these are just people who just want to see somebody punished. It's insane to me. I don't get it. Yep. Truly a hellscape. But let's move on into the show. Like I said, producer Matt's here doing this thing.

Now, as for the show tonight, we're going to be talking about the overdue and to

perhaps the most disastrous presidential campaign in living memory. That's right. We're talking about Florida governor and noted spaghetti person, Ron DeSantis. It is all over. We will break it down in a little bit. But first, the Daily Dumbass, Matt, show it to them. See what they think. Okay, so we did that on the bonus.

So patrons have seen that one already. Me and Mark both gave him a little feedback on it. I find it to be unsettling, almost. to the point of being scary. That's what I thought. Like, it builds up. And in my head, I'm like, oh, God, it's going to stop, isn't it? Like, it's like it enters my brain that it isn't going to stop.

It's just going to, like, continue rising until it drives me inside or something. So if that's what Matt was going for, I'd say, nailed it. I feel like we're about to get to a huge, like, reveal of a plot twist in a Christopher Nolan movie or something. Yeah, exactly. It is kind of Nolany. Anyway, our DD tonight is Oklahoma Furries for. thinking they can hit home room without first being spayed and neutered. That's right.

The Oklahoma State Representative JJ Humphrey is trying to ban furries from all Oklahoma schools, Mark. Right. And just as we discussed many times, they don't exist, not in the way he thinks. And it's just like the fact this meme has resulted in legislation is like fucking hilarious to me. I'm not going to, we've talked about this a few times. We tried to do the whole segment trying to get the bottom of whether any, was there any single kid had ever done this? We found one kid in Idaho, I believe, who'd seen this meme on Facebook as a joke, went to school, dressed like a cat. They sent him home immediately to change clothes, even though it was a good bit.

So, but apparently, so he wrote this bill, and he, it required them to be picked up by their parents or animal control be called to remove them. See, he said, I got a call that they have one of these kids coming as a furry as a cat to have this kind of nonsense going on to school. we're here to teach education. You're what's funny about to me about, yeah, we'd be teaching education, all right, but doing numbers and stuff. But,

yeah, he said, yeah, the parents are there have to pick them up or they would call animal control. What's funny about that to me is it's kind of like implicitly acknowledging that person's chosen identity or whatever,

this hypothetical, non-existent person, but it's kind of funny, you know, because it's like, yeah, and I know he's doing it just to be a smart ass or whatever, but yeah,

It's wild. Do you think furries, I know we've been talking about that they're, you know, litter boxes in the schools. They want to be cats. It's been going on for a while. But like, you think furries are like next on their list? You think this is going to blow up the way that like trans people did or something? You know what I mean? Like every now and every so often they find out about the existence of some other type of person that they don't.

And they're not, they don't like it. And then they just become obsessed with it after that. And it's been trans people for like eight years now. But, you know, I wonder if furries are, uh, are next on their list. Yeah, every now and then they find out about a new group of people and they don't like it. You just summed up the entire conservative rig actually moved.

I know, right. They just went most of their existence without really knowing about any of it. That's what it says like these people that like it's un-American is being shoved down their throat when it's like, you know, these people have always been, it's always been a country of immigrants and all this stuff. But like they just didn't ever used to have to hear from them, you know?

Like they didn't have platforms and stuff so they could just ignore that those people existed, stay in their white neighborhoods with all their straight friends and go to church and whatnot. But now they just, you know, they turn on, there's a Cheerios commercial with an interracial couple in it or whatever. And they have to be reminded that like sometimes people are different. And that really, uh, makes them uneasy. Can you imagine like if like how immigration policy would have been like the 1830s? If like people all over the country had accessed like TikToks that showed them Italians in New York or something, it wouldn't find it. Right. Yeah. So.

So the tennis bill is so written so poorly, it tries to ban anthropomorphic behavior, which anthropomorphic means when you apply it to cartoons and animals, you're acting like a human, they're outlawing acting like a person in schools. Right. Yeah. But even if you're going to outlaw people dressing up like animals and dancing around, how is they going to work with mascots at football games? Right. Yeah, I have a lot of questions to JJ Humphrey. Yeah, but yeah, but you're at anthropomorphic, that would imply that it's actually. like a cat who's pretending to be a human, you know what I mean?

And I would agree we don't need them in our schools. All right. Yeah, no bliss and boots. No cat in that. So, J.J. Humphrey is on one. He's a Republican, if you're wondering, from Lane, Oklahoma. He tried to, he also introduced another bill that would label all Hispanic people as terrorists. This headlines poorly read.

Gang members, right? No, no, the headlines poorly written. It says gang members, but that's not true. Basically, anybody who's Hispanic of Hispanic origin is automatically a suspected terrorist. It's coming right out and saying it, man. The way it works, this is, you know, games with language, but it defines everyone who's Hispanic as a gang member and therefore terrorists. So, like, yes, Hispanic gang members. It takes a terrorist, but everyone who's Hispanic is a gang member.

He got some feedback about this that he didn't like. And this is me reading the story. He apologized, but then double down. He said, I apologize for using the word Hispanic, but I was not wrong. Again, these are Hispanic. Reality is they're Hispanic. There's nothing to be ashamed with. What the fuck?

This guy don't talk all that good. No. Like, JJ Humphrey speak English. This is America. So he's going to amend the bill to go back to being instead of Hispanic to undocumented a hero legally or something like that, end quote. If you want to go, Humphrey is, in an interview with The Intercept in 2017, he referred to pregnant women as hosts for the fetus, and he has a subhead on his Wikipedia page titled Cockfighting Advocacy. Finally, somebody stands up.

Humphrey was quoted saying, you're dang skippy. I'll take my kid to a chicken fighting before I'm taking them to see a drag queen. Yes, he called you. I'm taking my kid to a chicken fighting before I'm taking them to see a drag queen. Oklahoma's going insane. We don't talk about it much because not a lot of people live there. Although, just shout out to Jim Gray of the Osage peoples who sent me some of these stories. His cousin is not going to be performing at the Oscars because they all worked to help helped out with a Kills of the Flower Moon and one of their songs got nominated.

So. Sorry. I just almost called 911 on my, I almost butt dialed 911 just now. I don't know if y'all can hear the siren going off. I pulled it out and it was counting down that it was going to call 911 and three, two. I barely got it diffused. Jesus Christ.

I almost did it up my Apple Watch while I was working out the other day. Oh, mercy. Anyway, go ahead. So just today, Oklahoma's superintendent of schools appointed professional harasser Chaya Rijick. You might know her as lives of TikTok on social media. She's a very powerful influencer, basically sets the agenda for all the anti-transpanic stuff. What she does is she takes videos out of context of usually teachers saying something nice and sometimes they have blue hair or whatever and it causes like a national panic and the school will get bomb threats. She's gotten hospitals shut down with bomb.

threats. Anyway, he decided to appoint her to the Education Library Media Advisory Committee, so she's going to help pick out textbooks for schools. She has no background education. Before she was an influencer, she was a real estate agent. I don't really, she doesn't live in Oklahoma. I think she's in Florida. So yeah, I don't really see the point of this. If you want what kind of person she is, she sees all the bomb threats as a point of pride. After USA Today published an article on a report chronicling her impact, she gloated. that she made the front page of the paper, and she currently uses the photo of herself holding up the paper

as her profile pick on her ex account. So, yeah, she's straight up fucking evil. She's pretty, pretty shameless, right? Wasn't there some kind of thing with her? Was it like before Elon bought Twitter or something? She got deplatformed or something like that. She was in the news, I remember, because they were all losing their minds. Yeah, she's lives of TikTok, but she got kicked off TikTok.

So there's that. I just don't understand the thing where you, like, take somebody who's making, like, 30-some grand a year. year teaching kids and you take them out of context to try to get them harassed out of their job. Right. And then brag about it when that happens, you know what I mean? When someone like threatens their life or whatever, you're like, take that as like a victory point, a point of personal pride. Yeah.

It's a sign of a shithead of a person in my opinion. But moving on, our honorable mention for Daily Dumbass, everybody who came before Trump and didn't think to just make crime illegal. We'll see this video. And we're going to make it a crime-free zone. There's not going to be any crime. We're going to have laws. Law, Mark. They're going to make law.

They're going to make law. They're going to make crime illegal finally. I don't know why nobody ever thought of this before. This is so funny. Like, I know we're aware of all crimes many, many, many fucking crimes going back to, like, the 70s. But, like, recently, Sammy the Bull of Grvano, you know, a mob and enforcer guy, admitted to killing 19 people before snitching on all his friends has been become an unofficial Trump surrogate on Fox News and recently he gave said Trump he said Trump was the

cleanest man he knew because he couldn't like bribe him or do anything in New York and Trump reposted it and thanked him for it anyway seven the bull is all over Fox news all the time now talking about his many murderers now great Trump is I wanted to talk about you did this and get into the New Hampshire primaries that are happening tonight let's talk about the Dems first because Joe Bob and kind of hilariously bumble-fucked it. Not that it matters any real way. It's just like a comedy of error.

It's like he's not even on the ballot. And part of the reason is, as a favorite of South Carolina, he tried to make South Carolina the first primary. Iowa was the first caucus, but you know what I'm saying? But New Hampshire law requires them to be the first primary. So if you move South Carolina earlier, New Hampshire automatically goes earlier and becomes an unofficial Democratic Party primary because the DNC didn't organize it

and they didn't get Joe Biden on the ballot or whatever. It's also fucking stupid. So they've been trying to organize. What does that mean, though? Like, I mean, like, what's the effect of that in the New Hampshire primary? Well, we'll see how the vote totals come in,

but like they're doing, they're trying to organize a write-in campaign. So Joe Biden probably will still win it. But if, if enough people bother to vote because a lot of Democrats or independent voters are voting in the Republican primary to fuck when Trump. We'll get to that in a second.

Because, yeah, you're allowed. the way it works is like if you're not aligned with another political party, you can vote at other parties primary, and 39% of voters in New Hampshire are undeclared. So that's more than either that are Republicans or Democrats. Yeah, that checks out to me. They've got to like, you know, it's like they seem, they're like, I don't know, live free or die. They got their whole like sort of libertarianist seeming thing, but not like inside maga type.

You know what I mean? So it's like it makes, it kind of makes sense to me that they'd have such a huge chunk. of independent voters, even though I don't really understand independent voters in 2024 in this country. But, uh, right. Yeah. Uh, so there, there also was another organized writing, uh, campaign to get to make ceasefire to people writing in ceasefire.

And that's, that's a fun little bit of, uh, protest fuckery. It'd be funny if like Joe Biden barely beats ceasefire and Dean Phillips comes in like a, like, like a, like a, like a, like a 25th place. Uh, if you want to tell you talking about the independent spirit of New Hampshire, voters who tend to be more moderate than the rest of the Republicans around the country. Joe Biden is a 38% approval rating in New Hampshire, which is still higher than the rest of the country, I think, right now. But he still beats Trump head-to-head 52 to 45. So, everything's, nobody's super happy with the choices in election. That's fine.

So that goes. There's some weird fuckery going on. There's a fake Joe Biden robocall. And I listen to it. It sounds like really, really like Joe Biden, even to the point where it starts off, what a bunch of malarkey. Is this an AI thing? I heard about this. So this is like an AI generated. Yeah, the shit's, it's going to get wilder before it calms down, I think, with all this type of fuckery here. But yeah, this is pretty, pretty nuts.

I, dude, I've had smart friends of mine being taken by some obvious AI shit. And I don't know how, how nobody in power seems to be concerned about this. I know there are First Amendment problems, which was trying to regulate a bunch of speech. but like they're in the uh yeah i don't know i don't have any solutions to it but nobody seems that worried about it which is frightening because we're about to see a bunch of a i deep fate sex tapes of every public figure right maybe this maybe this right here or additional things like this will you know make people give a shit about it like policy makers and whatnot if actually like starts to affect them or some way maybe they won't be able to ignore it anymore

remember biden got really concerned about ai after he watched a mission impossible uh the last Mission Impossible movie. Yeah. So the Robocall is telling people not to vote on Tuesday and telling them to save their vote for the general election. Like you only get one. Like it's timeouts in a football game or something. Yeah. Yeah.

So there's a history of this type of rat fucking in New Hampshire in 2002. A phone jamming effort carried out during a highly contested Senate race. Two Republicans ended up being convicted of using computer-generated phone calls to disrupt Democrats, get out the vote call center operations. Um, so yeah, I don't, uh, the Democratic side of this doesn't really matter. Let's talk about, I guess, talk about the Republican side of it for a second, for a few minutes. Um, Trump's going to win. Let me take the results right now. Um, yeah, right now with 23% in, he's at 52.5. The Nikki Haley's 46.6. Now, yesterday, the Trump campaign was projecting to, bragging they were going to win by 30. And then today they were saying seven points to be a good victory. So that tells you how they're, their, their exit pull. and came in today. I mean, is this implied? I know we're going to talk about DeSantis in a little bit, but, you know, the idea with DeSantis dropping out, I know he was like getting, he wasn't, it's not like he was

garnering much support anyway, but like the people that don't like Trump, that are Republicans are like rallying behind Nikki Haley now now that DeSantis is gone and like bumping her up a little bit. I know it's not going to matter and Trump's still going to win the primary, but, you know. Well, I think the main takeaways you're here are for the general. Like, that's the only thing interesting to me about here. Because, like, I don't know how many DeSanta's voters went to Trump. I don't think it's a lot.

But to me, the takeaway is the Nikki Haley 46.5. It's a Donald Trump is only at 52.5. Yeah. Do you know what I'm saying? Right. So a poll Monday showed Trump leading Haley by a whopping 22 points. It's obviously off, or at least off so far. Maybe you'll catch, maybe we'll get a huge batch of votes later.

I don't know. But Nikki Haley won Dixville, not six to nothing. You know about Dixville Notch, don't you, Trey? Dixville Notch, no, it's, I like the name. It's a little, it's a little, it's a little, uh, little town in New Hampshire that takes proud on voting first. They all get together at midnight in the, like, the local church and vote, I guess six people. All six of them. Yeah, right.

All six people in the town voted for Nikki Haley. So she had a, she had a hundred percent lead for like eight hours there. Um, the main thing that happened over the weekend is that Trump confused Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi to alarming degree and it wasn't really in a way that could be a slip of the tongue and i want you let's watch that moment so you can see i'm talking about this is this is just this is full on your fusion ever reports the crowds you know by the way they never report the crowd on january 6 you know nicky haley nicky haley you know they do you know they destroyed all of the information all of the evidence everything deleted and destroyed all of it all of it because of lots of things

like nicky haley is in charge of security we offered her 10,000 people. It's like you said, it's hard to defend that as like a slip of the tongue when he repeats her name three and ultimately four total times in that little, you know, 22nd clip where he, yeah, implies that, you know, he mixes her up with Nancy Pelosi as far as January 6 goes. And I can't wait for this to be completely ignored by all his supporters and everything while they continue to bitch about, you know, how feeble-minded Joe Biden clearly is. Right. So, but like, it's not, the thing is, like, this actually picked up and got coverage. like that's the amazing thing it wasn't just like there's a series of slips over

the weekend one he had this big long speech he's complained about wokeness in the military because they renamed the forts or named after Confederate generals and like but he said we use those forts to win World War II and I'm like well I guess people trained there but there's no fighting in the fucking forts in American soil and

he tried to describe a missile defense works and he basically went like this big bomb boo foo woo zoop pow like that's how he described missile defense yeah It was so bad that, like, even Fox News had to talk about it. And, like, like, this feels like, let me read this headline here. The text on Donald Trump's age may be at a tipping point.

Like, everyone's starting to notice this shit. And it's the thing that happens, like, once a Republican talks about it, then they treat a Republican as their assignment editor and then everyone starts talking about it. Okay. Because I was about to say, it's like, what? I know that you just gave a few examples, but it's like, what is different about now compared to all the shit he's been saying since, like, ever. But especially, like, on this, you know, campaign trailer, ever since it started. I feel like every single week we got a clip of him saying some nonsensical, dumb shit, you know.

Right. I guess it's, yeah, I don't know. Republicans are picking it up or. The substance of the criticism of Nancy Pelosi, you're talking about four, is also bullshit. But the fact that he clearly thought Nikki Haley, who was out of government on January 6th, was Nancy Pelosi on January 6th is like, for like a full minute and a half or whatever is jar. That's like, that's not just his normal word salad shit where you just can't. I mean, I follow my words a lot too, right? but like like that's not necessarily sign of anything but like me forgetting my wife's name for a minute and a half would would be a side of something and saying so niki haley's been added to her stump speech and talked about how like he doesn't he doesn't this thing we always describe as Barack Obama as the current president now he has a logic that I used to accusing Barack Obama still being secretly in charge but he seems to be confused by his own rhetoric a lot but he even talks about he's running against Obama um haley by the way as an assault on Biden like a two-pronged attack has been saying that anyone of

Kenan, it's over 75, she'd have to sit for a dementia test. She's been doing that since the beginning. But after all this, after she insulted Trump's, you know, brain, Trump challenged Nikki Haley to a dementia test. Right. Nikki Haley is 52 and she's getting creamed in this Canton primary right now. And it makes sense for the final stage of her humiliation in this race to be a clock drawing contest with a guy in diapers.

Yeah, but he, you know, he, you know, he already, he aced that dementia test over the game a while ago where he yeah like you say you know clock camera person man woman and all that stuff that he did he just best score they'd ever seen according to him but in his mind he might think because he remembers that as being some you know difficult undertaking that he exceeded expectations on so maybe he's like and i'm infinitely smarter than hers so she probably will fail it you know because i know how hard it is i know that it's a difficult test and i paced it anyway but she ain't got what it takes you know that's how he's thinking about it So, let me check the results here real quickly.

Let's skip this next video, Matt, because we're running a little bit behind. So Trump's up to 53% now. It's still pretty bad thing for him. So one thing happened, there were a lot of people. One thing Trump's been complaining about is a lot of independence voting here because a lot of moderates did jump into this to vote to fuck with Trump. But again, if people are voting to fuck with you, that's not a good sign for your general election prospects. Do you know what I'm saying?

The people's main thing is I just fucking hate this guy. Let me read some quotes. there were from people outside the polling locations. I can't vote for Trump. He's a crook. He's too corrupt. He said a guy named Scott Simeon, who's an independent voter from Amherst,

who backed Trump in 2016 and 2020. I voted for him, and I didn't realize he's as corrupt as he is. There's another Haley voter. I grew up in a constitutional democracy and one my grandkids to too, too. Another one. Why Nikki Haley?

My conscience wouldn't allow me to vote for a criminal. And here's, take out this old coup if you want to see this guy. It's going to make me laugh. Anything but Trump. That was your priority. Is that the biggest reason you supported Nikki Haley? Yeah, I'd say. Because of Donald Trump?

Yes. Yeah. And I have no problem with the ladies running things. I have one here. Anything but Trump. Yeah. That's the, you know, again, I'm heartened by this. I've been thinking for eight years or whatever now, like, you know, where are these people?

It's wild to me the number of. because I just think of like the Republican, I've known a whole lot of Republicans being from the South over my lifetime and it's wild to me to think of some people I know personally and I think about them. I'm like that reconciling them with like a love for Trump is

I've just been wondering where are these sane Republicans at or whatnot or more moderate ones. But again, this is New Hampshire, right? It's like it's kind of culturally a thing there. Right. And so, you know, how much is this applicable to sentiment around the rest of the country.

But if it is, though, if it does transfer and these people that are voting for Nikki Haley, even if other states, she gets 30, 40 percent, if a chunk of those people are like never Trumpers, then, you know, I'm, that makes me feel a little better right now. Last week, Trumps get about the same percentage, like only 1% less in New Hampshire than he got in Iowa. And we talked about last week that fully half of Nikki Haley voters in Iowa said they would never vote for Trump. If I was running Trump's campaign, I would feel behind the, I mean, honestly, if I was

running Biden's campaign, I feel behind the eight ball right now, too. But anyway, Marjor Taylor Green went on TV today and pledged to eradicate these people from the GOP because they're not MAGA. So there you go. And then Trump said he doesn't want their votes. So here we go. As we pivoted to DeSantis, there's a Florida plan introduced by a Mayanna Republican state senator named Ileana Garcia for the state of Florida to pay Trump's legal bill.

under the theory that he's from Florida, he's being persecuted by the federal government, and the Florida gets a lot of pork from the federal government should be good to have a Floridian in there. They're just straight up announcing they're corrupt and the reasons for, like, funny as legal bills. And Rod DeSantis already promised to veto it. So, yes, he did endorse Trump,

but he's still primed to fuck with him a little bit, so I enjoyed that part a little bit. So I want to talk about how spectacular or failure DeSantis' campaign was because it's like, it's really funny until you get to the damage left in his wake. and then we'll talk about that damage. But a few numbers about how this is the worst fucking result in American political history. He spent $150 million between his campaign and his Super PAC and only got $23,420 votes.

That is $6,400 per vote, a record of failure by a factor of 10 times. The previous worst dollar per vote record was Michael Bloomberg last election cycle who spent $450 per vote. So $6,400 to $450 per vote. $50. This is by far the biggest dumps to fire in history of presidential politics. That's the thing. It's like, I think we talked about last week. I've just, I've only recently just kind of thought about like just the money part of it, like the sheer amount of money that was spent on this, you know, this, this massively failed campaign. But I, but like, you're talking about a huge Republican super PAC and stuff. It's like that money probably wasn't would have never been used for anything that I would agree with anyway. You know what I mean? Consider it's source. But it's just. It's crazy the amount of money. It went to local TV news budgets to be ads sold. It went to like vendors, you know, catering companies.

It went to so it probably is probably better off being used for this than whatever some Republican billionaire. Right. But so one guy who got this money, this is an article about like a campaign post morning for him. He paid a guy running his super pack to do puzzles. This guy named Scott Wagner. just sat around the office all day doing puzzles in West in Des Moines. He was spending it, like this day after day after day, just doing puzzles to the confusion of all of his staff.

And this guy just fucking hits for me. He just like stole the status as money. Yeah, it's funny. I mean, you know, I wonder if like, I don't know if he made up his mind way before DeSantis and other people did. You know what I mean? Like the Ratton's been on the wall for a while. I feel like for most people with eyes, and I'm sure many of Desantis's camp were

deny, but maybe this guy, for a while now, it's just like, fuck it, there's no point. I'm just going to do puzzles until he finally wizens up and, you know. I mean, everything that did, everything his campaign did made things worse and worse and worse, like struggling on quicksand. So this might have been the most productive use of his time, honestly. Yeah. But he even was a loser in how he dropped out. He dropped out by posting a video on Twitter.

He didn't have the class and grace to do it in front of his supporters who worked hard for him, which, you know, fuck them. I don't agree with him about anything, but, like, for him to treat him that way, it sucks. He, his speech, dropout speech, used a fake Churchill quote. He didn't bother look up if it was real. Yeah, and it was actually a buck. I saw, I didn't fact, check this either. But the fake Churchill quote used that it was originally from a Budweiser campaign.

I didn't see that, but that's what I read, which that makes it, that makes it funnier to me, you know, considering the war that waged on Anheuser Bush this past year or so, but yeah. Yeah. And then his last final act is he kissed Trump's ass six days after ridiculing people who kissed Trump's ass. And his defense, he had a good reason to choose not to do it in person, to endorse them in person, because if you do that, he just calls you gay. I hear you're producing Tim Scott over the weekend. And today was a big story, the biggest story out there. He's engaged to be married. We never thought this was going to happen. What's going on?

Oh, dude, just right to his face, right in front of him, you know, and that's what you get. I mean, that's how, you know, universally across the board, that's what he's going to do. If you're not filled on all the contexts here, like, Tim Scott's been a well-known bachelor. He bragged about being an adult virgin until he was, like, in his 40s. And so when you're in politics and you're single that late, it's like they're going to be always going to be rumors and whatever. But I just want to say that Tim Scott is a fellow. southerner as a proud southern tradition of a gay man marrying a nice lady and having a sex marriage that he met at his church for sure the long and story tradition I no doubt about

that um I I do want to say like there's any takeaway from all this is like because they like there was a meme going around yesterday it's like all the mainstream political coverage is like here's all the reasons you can't under arrest area around to man around to santis and there is why you take him seriously and then Twitter shit posts just be posted a picture of him smiling weird being I'm like, this guy's never going to be a fucking president. Right. And like, it's obvious to anybody with the brain if you don't pretend that politics is something it's not.

And politics is often very lowbrow. And Trump's not that confusing. Success isn't if you accept that reality. It's a popularity contest. Right. And you get up there and do some zingers and be interesting. Yeah. Well, that's where like I, you know, we've talked about this over the whole course of his

campaign, but like during his rise during COVID and he become this new Republican star as the governor of Florida and everything. I feel like there was this. this idea or this narrative you know people on the left especially for a long time ever since trump popped up there's been this whole this idea that's like you think trump is bad like wait till you see like the next generation like the people that are inspired by trump you know they want to be like trump except they're actually smart and competent and all that stuff and it's like and then desantis was like what this is him that that guy's here now and it's this guy and then so for it to

just flame out like that it's hilarious to me but it also implies it's like if I want to be Trump is like smart or competent or enunciates and all that stuff then he's not like Trump you know what I'm saying like that like you said it's low brow like that shit is hugely important to Trump's appeal

amongst his people you know what I mean so you try to like be a more standard straighten your tie politician while still saying all the crazy shit Trump said it just don't land the same for these people you know right there's like So there's been a debate whether Trump's a symptom or a cause going back to 2015. And obviously, the America has like a populous right wing faction, like racism deeply ingrained

at a bunch of people's thinking, a bunch of institutions. But also, Trump is a black swan event in a lot of ways. One, he has inherited $400 million to make him legally bulletproof. He literally can't fail. He's too big to fail as a person. He's got some sort of innate charisma. And he's got a mixture of psychological issues and narcissistic personality disorder. are they making a unique threat?

So, like, you can't just recreate Trump in a lab. Right. You've got to start by having his father emotionally abuse him in the 1940s. Right? Like, it's like, you get, you got, it's a long game to make a Trump. All right. So. Yeah, do you think that like when people were talking about, like, Republicans around

the country, again, during COVID, they heard about the Santa's like, I like, I like the sound of this guy, you know, do you think they were like just expecting him to be more, you know, like Florida E? You know what I mean? Little, like, more explicitly crazy. and dumb sounding and shit. Like he got out there like, this guy's boring.

You know, he's from Florida. I thought, I didn't, I didn't think that could happen. You know, it's like, and he doesn't know how to talk or interact with people or show human emotions and all this stuff.

And everything he did was just fucking weird. And he's off putting. He's off putting as a person. Right. They're both prisoners of the weird media bubbles. But Trump talks about things he saw on Fox News and NFL football games. And Ronda Santos talks about things he saw on 4chan. And it's not, like, it doesn't translate to, like, being able to communicate with regular people.

At least regular people, and see cable news and see football. So, you know, we all know the particular, there's Trump, DeSantis has no charisma. He lacks the courage and integrity. They even be honest with Trump supporters about, like, how they're being duped. He's also an annoying voice, and he's short. And sometimes it's just that. Like, it wasn't, it's not just that he's short or average height is it's obviously very sensitive about it. Oh, yeah.

That leaves him open to being bullied. Like, it's like, like, they can't, if you're not. sensitive about it they can't make fun of you is sort of is not true always but it's sort of true like is it a joke isn't it the case that like a huge percentage of our presidents historically or like over six feet tall or something like that like yeah usually tallest candidate wins yeah right so dumb but you know there it is what are you going to do yeah uh the exceptions being joe biden in our lifetimes joe Biden beating Trump to have Biden 6.1 and Trump's 6.3 or four or whatever. And George W. Bush is beating Al Gore.

Bush is shorter. It's like 511 and Gore's like, you stood next to him. What is he 6-1, 662? Something like that. Probably about that. Yeah. Yeah. 6-2ish. He's a little little bit taller than me, my good friend Al Gore. Anyway, go ahead. So he also just like you said, this is a very stupid way to run a country, but it doesn't change. Everybody knows that well-known anecdote that like people that when the first televised presidential debate was Richard Nixon and JFK and people that listened to it on the radio

thought Nixon kicked his ass. People who watched it on TV thought JFK kicked Nixon's ass. Right. It was so different. And I just want to remind people what Ronda Santis did to get to this fucking point of failure.

I keep thinking about all the black voters he had arrested to make some point about bullshit point about like voter fraud. The migrants he tricked on to that point. lane all for the sake of running the worst campaign in American history just like I mean the shit is it service and nothing the stuff with like trans kids and shit and the schools and

the teachers down there and everything like you know I mean yeah he's done a lot of vile stuff have you followed what he did at new college no when new college is like a well known small liberal art school in Florida like it's like the the hard route of Florida for lack of a better way to put it. And it reads like a hippie-dippy. If you read a description of it, it reads like a hippie-dippy, like, you know, like sort of Montessori school for like people in their early 20s. So that didn't hit for DeSantis. So instead, what he did was he basically destroyed it. So among the people whose lives were damaged right on to Sanchez, the people had to transfer out of new school after, like, eliminated whole programs with study, like gender studies

and yada, yada, yada, he also like, they thought the school, they openly said it too much estrogen. Like the female enroll was too high And that was ruining the politics of the school So instead they started a baseball team And the small school like It recruited 70-some baseball players For their team They

The baseball players also got fucked Because they don't have a baseball field Yeah So they never had a team before But also like I feel like I bet like even the dudes That were already going to new college When they heard them point out

It's like, there's way too many chicks at this school. You know, they were like, hey, shut the fuck up. You know what you want to be? Like, it's a, that's a desirable ratio amongst, most college-going people, I think. My college was 70-30 female to male, and that was a big selling point to me. Yeah, right, exactly. So 17-18-year-old boys like girls. I don't know what to say.

So, like, you can hear, there's a whole podcast episode about the new school stuff that I highly recommend from Pablo Tori's new podcast. public finds out where he interviews a writer named Jeb Lund, who went to new school and they talk about all this. And it's fascinating. It also includes this anecdote about other Congress people when DeSantis was in Congress. You know, DeSantis played baseball at Yale and tells people he was good. It's probably not quite as good as he says he was, obviously. But like, there was a congressional baseball game, Democrats versus Republicans. And DeSantis had a ground ball. It was about to be thrown out by a woman, so he faked a hamstring injury. Yeah, that checks out. He's just so boldly cure, man. And it's like, especially when you're going up against somebody like Donald Trump,

you know, it's a huge problem, you know, because everyone on Earth is going to know that it is getting to you, right? And he ain't going to stop, you know, so I'm not surprised that it went the way that it did. Yeah. So the magnification of Florida, prayer is up for the people of Florida, man. It's going to do damage over the generations. Just the way they all think now is so fucking broken. And I really hope, like I keep talking about these numbers, like how they'd be scared. if I was like running one of these maga campaigns because it doesn't seem to be working anymore. Thank God for the rest of us. But this is a bill just proposed in Florida.

The Civil Justice Subcommittee voted Thursday to advance a House Bill 757, which would make it easier for public officials to bring defamation suits for damages against their critics. And this bill was filed because some amazing journalists uncovered a giant voter fraud scheme involving ghost candidates funded by an energy monopoly named Florida Power and Light to spoil. races in their favor. Basically, they just want to intimidate journalism taking on the powerful. Like, Donald Trump's been talking about opening up level laws for a long time.

They really want rich people, make it easier for rich people to sue newspapers for saying true shit about them. Right, because right now in this country, it's really difficult, right? Generally, those cases are hard to win, which I think, yeah, is overall a good thing, probably. Like, Jake, Rowling keeps

suing people for calling her transphobic in the UK because it's an insult. It's all, even though, like, that's like, that's, that's a debatable rhetorical point, right? Like, it's not like, there's no fact-based definition of who is sufficiently transphobic. Right. And America, I can say, I can say, I can say J.K. Rowling is a horrific transphobe. I can say that she can't do fucking shit. If I did that in the UK, she could sue me. Right. All right. So, and that does not hit for powerful conservatives in

America. For whatever reason, you can have your own takeaway. Anyway, what these, what this voter fraud did basically was he just found ghost candidates with the similar or same names as Democrats to put on the ballot as third party candidates and paid them to be on the ballot. Yeah. And they're like, this is that was just a, that was

just a plot point in the latest season of Fargo. Yeah, that was great. They're actually doing that in Florida. Yeah. What Tray's talking about is to see, John Hamm plays like a Trumpy sheriff who fucks with a billionaire who

has a bunch of guys changed their name to his name and filed a run for county sheriff. That's a deeply hilarious point, plot point. So anyway, the point of that whole scam was to guarantee the Republicans could gerrymandered the state's district maps for another 10 years. So that fraud was very successful and we'll be feeling it for another decade. Anyway, DeSantis was asked if he was going to run again in 2028, and he said, well, we'll see if what kind of, we know if we have a country left by 2028. So, fuck you, Ron DeSantis. Nobody knows what he's going to do next because he's not charming enough to host a Fox News show.

He doesn't have any other skills. He's term limited out. Florida's two Senate jobs are taken and running for House again is a step down. yeah so he might be fucking he might be one of those homeless people needs to get a sandwich from that houston based program we talked about the top of the show i'm sure uh some of his like you know billionaire puppet master buddies or whatever will keep him keep him in pretty good shape regardless of the next republican uh governor of florida will appoint to be the president of some college i bet yeah right some shit like that so anyway um good riddance to him

william alexander says i'm in florida and trans it sucks yeah I bet it does, William. Sorry to hear that. I mean, I know that I saw somebody, I can't remember what it was. I didn't follow them. I hadn't heard, but someone on Twitter made this huge thread documenting stories of trans people who basically like been run out of Florida or, you know, felt like they had to leave Florida. And it was a lot, it was a whole lot. Yeah.

I mean, it's like, imagine, like, if you're, if it's an important part of your identity, it's essentially, it's health care, you know. It's like, people like like like it's super. but it's like it's sort of like if you couldn't get insulin or something if you can't get hormones if it's and if it's important to you to look like will you identify as for you know yeah i get it um f florrie don uh says new college was incredible not anymore dude like that the i really encourage people to go listen that podcast is fascinating but they tough i knew this story but i hadn't heard it laid out this way so the guy he was like the son of the guy that runs stormfront the nazi website like it wasn't really like you basically design your own major right and so he went to new college because he wanted to troll the libs and he wanted to prove that race science was real and then being there and doing his own research he proved himself wrong and stopped being a nazi well that's incredible not often you hear that i think the only similar thing i've heard was there was a dude there was a flat earther who did something like that he some flat arthur guy like designed his own experiment to like once and for all prove that the earth was fake or flat flat and then in doing so inadvertently proved that, you know, you never believe this, that it's actually round.

And I think, you know, I'm sure he found some way to go back on it, but, you know, he had to like acknowledge the results of it, which is funny. But yeah, it's funny what, you know, education can do to people. Education had a place that, you know, is probably diverse and whatnot. Opened his guy's mind, made him better, improved him as a person. Imagine that. Maybe that's why they're trying to get education across the board. Regina S says, I had three friends to leave Florida due to homeowners insurance.

Yeah, that's nothing. Climate change, obviously hitting Florida very hard. They pay the highest rates for property insurance in the country. So what they're doing in a place like Florida and Louisiana is like so the private companies pull out. So friends of the government, people in government like Rhonda Sanders and shit, set up these insurance companies that people pay. and the company knows that they won't be to pay out

if a big hurricane hits so they'll just declare bankruptcy and that Roda Sanchez's plan after running against communism and socialism and stuff and giving all this free people homeowner insurance money to his cronies

is obviously to run to the federal government and ask for bailout which the federal government will have to do and that's their plan and nobody has a plan passed tomorrow for any of this shit and it's quite infuriating

because the whole reason your former government is to have somebody who thinks past the end of the fiscal quarter right Brian Bellis says, Disney didn't take Ron's BS and we'll continue to make him look like a fool.

Yeah, I don't know what he was thinking, taking on the mouse. You would think, like, that's a, yeah, I feel like it's like a fundamental rule of the universe, at least in this country, that that's a, that's a fool's a Aaron going after Disney legally. You can't even have a snow white theme, Disney, a birthday party for a 10-year-old without five lawyers showing up with cease and assist orders. Yes, famously litigious and also extremely wealthy and powerful. so not the best choice of adversary. But hey, they were being woke, Mark, so I had to show them. Patricia Perring says that makeup line around Trump's face makes him look like he fell in a vat of motor oil.

Yeah, Matt, yeah, there you go. I mean, you know, that makeup line. We've all seen. That's what I was going to say, Mark, you brought the Nixon and JFK thing. And it's like when they saw JFK, people that saw him were like, this guy's clearly winning because JFK was a good looking dude. And Nixon was trollish. But, I mean, it ain't like Trump hits to look at. You know what I mean?

But maybe he does to his people. But he's not a good-looking person in large part because of, you know, how he paints himself orange and his weird-ass hair and the way he stands like a centaur and everything. Warren says he looks like he stuck his face in a caramel fountain. I saw an interview with the supporter of his yesterday in New Hampshire who said that he just gets better looking with age every day. I will never understand these people. Red wave of ketchup says look at the skin next to his ears.

it's old man white yeah for sure uh yeah we were just we were just talking in the group chat core or somebody brought up there like trump doesn't look much different than when he first came on the scene as a presidential candidate like you know famously being president ages the shit like look at obama before he went office and then when he left some of it was pointing out that like that hasn't happened to trump and you know and i said it was like well that's probably because he doesn't give a single fuck about all the things that age a regular human person about having that job you know and also that he you know looked wild and weird to begin with if if i had to send to the sit in the presidential daily briefing is i don't even why i don't even watching the news and i just

have the public shit but if like you you go to wake up every morning at five and the first thing you get is like four generals and a national security advisor like in your office being like sir there's a genocide in the congo god has gotten worse uh what's going on now it's going to happen right now uh two countries in south america about to go to war uh pakistan and iran are shooting each other for some reason, we don't really decide. We haven't really deciphered why yet. America is sort of tangentially involved in all this shit. I would look 800 years old by next Wednesday.

Right. Yeah. But if all that just went in one ear and out the other, because you were too concerned about like the tweet you were composing about how much your former security advisor was a stupid piece of shit or whatever, then you probably, you know, it wouldn't affect you as much, I would imagine. Yeah. Remember, they famously had to reduce his daily briefing down like four pages with pictures.
