Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews - 2/06/24 – Borderlands of Insanity Part 2

Episode Date: February 7, 2024

Well you’ll never believe this Skewers, but things down at the southern border have only gotten MORE dumb and weird in the intervening week since last we met. Tonight we talk about it, along with some Trump Crime updates, porn bans, hailing Satan, and more. Join us.Support the show

What's up, everybody, welcome back. Happy Skews Day to you. It's February 6th, 2024. I'm Trey. That's Mark. How you doing over there, Mark? Good. You guys just missed a rambunctious conversation about 90s country music and the pre-show.

So I guess we ought to start off with some good, speaking of which, to start off with some good skews. Toby Keith, Dad. Mark. Well, that's why, as he said, I mean, that's why we were talking about 90s country. Look, I, like, he ain't nowhere even remotely close to the equivalent of Dave Chappelle for me as a comedian at all, not remotely. But I'm saying, to use an analog, Dave Chappelle, I haven't been into what Dave Chappelle's been doing lately largely. But it don't change killing them softly or the Chappelle show for me.

And Toby Keith, it's like, dude, he had, he had some bangers in the 90s. should have been a cowboy, every head must bow, every tongue must profess. That is a all-time country jam, as far as I'm concerned. So the man did some good work. 9-11 sort of, I would say it broke his brain, but really it just like opened his wallet up. Like he realized the amount of money he can make after 9-11, and then he just went fully down that road. But he had his day, though, Toby.

Right, but should be a cowboy, and I sang along with it, it still played in Cowboys games. but that's like selling thick nostalgia that part of the whole thing that it bugs me is like first of all Cowboys are mostly black and Latino Yeah Like it's like it's like what it's part of this That's part of the thing that bugs me is like anyway

Oh off the tangent air Some other If we get started we'll do a whole hour Just talking about Toby Keith If we don't If we don't move on So Go ahead

So Another good news D.C. court finally issued their opinion on Trump's absolute immunity claims who was January 6 cases they're like no dude you're a guy you're just a guy right they're like okay it's now like now like here's the thing this is the Supreme Court is supposed to rule on whether you kicked off the ballot in Colorado and Maine and shit right I think Maine might not be out player now whatever so the Supreme Court has two choices here because the case is so stupid

right they can't rule in his favor so their choices are either to you know ignore it refuse to accept the kid take the case up or take the case up or take take it and then dither for like four or five months. Right. And if they refuse to take it, if they refuse to take it, then this court's ruling prevails, right? Like if they say, we're not taking it, then this, this ruling is the, yeah. The judge is like a stay of their opinion while pending an appeal to either, you know, like the, the, the, the bigger, there's a bigger version of the same circuit court or they can take it straight to the Supreme Court. So they gave them six days to figure out.

I'm about saying they don't, yeah, they only have until Monday or whatever to do that, right? Yeah. So, yeah, like you said, the court finally ruled on this, which is funny, because it is such a dumb and seemingly obvious thing to me. I've made a video about it today. And I said, like, you know, I guess the only reason it took so long is because, you know, their first draft of the decision, which came out the next day was just like one paragraph of them being like, are you, are you serious? No, of course not. That's ridiculous. So they had to, they had to take a month to sort of, you know, church that up, beef it up, beef it up a little bit. Yeah, they'd get up to 57 pages. make it, make it absolutely bulletproof to make it too embarrassing for the Supreme Court to overrule, right? Right. Right. So that's what they did. It's 57 pages of like, fuck no, fuck no, fuck no, fuck no, fuck no. Well, what do you think the Supreme Court is going to do? Because I mean, this iteration of the court, I feel like they're a bit of a wild card. What do you think they're going to do? Depends how capable of shame and embarrassment they are. Because like there's no, there's no actual, they could like feel a duty to history if I'm being generous here to like, to like, to weigh on the actual question of whether the president is above the law and say no,

like the Supreme Court way. Right. But they could also do that in a way that pushes the court, the case back past the election, right? So, like, they could get the best of both worlds. Yeah. Where the centrists in the media will say that they're heroes for standing up to Trump while also saving his ass from being prosecuted. Yeah, that's an appropriately cynical take because it sounds right to me.

I could definitely see that happen. It's funny because the case is sort of like, from their perspective, it's like, the case is like sort of asking them to willfully neuter themselves, do you know what I mean, to like sort of give up to like invalidate their own constitutional position in the system in deference to the, which is like, why would that ever happen? But at the same time, it's 2024. And I don't think any of us would be surprised if that did happen. But like you said, they just deliberate on it for long enough and draw it out, which that's been Trump's strategy from jump, right, is like, just stretch things out, just delay and delay as much as possible.

You're right, because, like, if they ruled in its favor, it would make the judicial branch essentially absurd. None of the other two branches, they're supposed to be co-equal in theory, would be able to have any authority over the president. So it's basically, like, the Supreme Court to decide yes or no, would you have to cut your dicks and tits off if the president asked you to? Right. And so answering yes to that question is wild. It seemed to, yes. Right. Some other good news.

United Auto Workers, signs of a majority of workers at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga to unionize. I got a good buddy that worked at that plant for years and years. Actually, I've told this story on here before probably multiple times, but he's like, this has been an ongoing thing there for a long time. I'm talking at least 10 or 11 years ago. I remember him coming to hang out with me at my place in Knoxville.

I remember watching the balls game or whatever. And he told the story about they had some little retreat. drink thing that was all about like what are unions how do unions work or whatever and they had like coffee and donuts and stuff set up and they had this lady walk in who they said was like this represents union leadership or a union representative or whatnot and this woman comes in and just starts like screaming at them all and throwing the donuts in the trash and shit and just like pouring the cotton just being like horrifically evil you know just like so it's like is this what you want because this is what happens and it's like it's like it's

It's just so, you know, baldly shitty. But again, that was 10 or 11 years ago. And so now here we are in 2024. They've, uh, you know, they finally got it done, I guess. Good for them. It's so, like, wild how propagandized you already have things be the reverse. Because the reason you unionized, your boss can't do that shit. Exactly.

But also like, like, it's like how everybody thinks that socialism is where you get money for free. Like, no, socialism is where you get paid for your labor and you don't get money for free, which is what capitalists do. Right. Money for free is what everybody who owns 10 apartment buildings. checks in the mail does. Right. Yeah. Yep.

So, uh, there's that, uh, Morgan News, Connecticut governor led, Ned Lamontz as a state will purchase one billion dollars of medical debt for six and a half million dollars and cancel it. That's how I can abolishing medical debt for 200,000 people. Love it. This is not really, it do love it. It's not really a homely story. It's like, because anybody that's watching this overseas is like, what the fuck is

medical debt? Well, yeah. Right. I know. Yeah. If we're, if we're going to have it, we should try to do it cancel as much as possible with, uh, money the government has when they have it. And they have it.

And they have a bunch of left of remit. money from the American Rescue Plan. It's the first time a state is forgiven medical debt at such a massive scale. Also, another good news, I have no idea if the Senate will pass this. My guess is not. But the housing passed expanded child tax credit last week. On average households, it would see a tax cut of $680 in 2023. This is for people that make less than $21,000 a year.

That's a significant bump. You know, it's for working poor. it would also apply to four personal households making less than 41 a year but because it's a bipartisan bill they had a pair of the tax cut for the rich so with all while poor people get a couple of like six seven hundred bucks the top one percent of income earners will get nine or eighty thousand dollars yeah so uh so basically the deal was for republicans were like okay we'll let you help out poor people but only if if we still make wealth in a quality worse. Right. And see, what sucks about this is like in places like my hometown and yours and otherwise, I'm everywhere, probably. There's like hardworking middle class Americans, right, who get caught in the

middle of things like this and don't get shit for it. And like, that does suck. Like, that don't hit from it or not be that way. But I feel like every time something like this happens, they ain't got no billionaires around, right? They ain't got no millionaires around. And even if they did, they couldn't really see the benefits that those people were getting from stuff like this.

You know what I'm saying? It's like they got a new gold-pleted aquarium on their boat or something like that. Like, they're not going to see that shit. But they are surrounded in towns like mine by the other end of the spectrum, by poor people who get this benefit or whatever. And it kind of, you know, it pisses them off a lot of times because they're like, what the fuck? Like, I don't get a goddamn thing and they get this. And despite the fact that, you know, we both work and work hard and all this shit. And it's like, I hate how they're.

kind of weaponized and that like shit like this you know makes them mad at the work and they and not the rich and the rich just kind of get away with it and uh it happens all the time but i do kind of get why the whole the overall situation is frustrating for these people like i understand why it bothers them but i'd wish they would direct their you know anger differently but like i said that's what they see on the day to day so Mm-hmm. Yeah. I don't, I don't disagree with you, but yeah, I guess elect politicians that are further the left, you know, because you got to negotiate with centrists and Republicans.

Right. This is what happens. So, yeah. So a story we talked about on the bonus episode on Friday was Fannie Willis's, you know, the state attorney in Georgia, Georgia, Fulton County. so it was like she would been accused of having an affair by a court filing with a guy who worked for her who's an outside counselor who her offices paid $650,000 so far and they were trying to say this invalidates the case or whatever which I don't think it's true I think politically it's extremely stupid anyway while we were talking or after that afternoon after we got off she came out admitted she'd had an affair after dithering about it because we were like why won't she deny it if it's not true it seemed pretty clear to me that it had happened just because the way they had responded to it. But she has since confirmed it, though. Right.

I just can't understand. Like, you want to talk about why she would bring this case. And like, there's two reasons and probably both are true. One, she thinks it's the right thing to do and two things are great for a career. It's good when good things happen, when people do things that are good for the career because they're also the right thing to do. But like, why would you bumble fuck both away? Like, it just doesn't understand. Like, it doesn't, like, I don't understand the like, like, these highly driven people who have complete lack of self-control when it comes to like,

one thing it's yeah but i mean i'm totally with i agree completely but like you're talking about human beings and when that one thing is like genital related you know what i mean when that one thing is like it matters of the heart or whatever people become irrational you know what i mean like people just do dumb shit uh when it comes to people that get them all tore up or whatever i mean you know we all do it on both genders i guess but yeah this is yeah it's not a good look man especially if like part of the whole argument is this dude her her uh her you know boy toy or whatever he's he is a logger but he's not objectively qualified for the position he's in right well see that's like you can't do that man like that she says they were she says they didn't start having the affair

after he worked for her even then that's different but so let me read this to you she asserted and this is in the legal filing she buried it like a back of 170 this admission in the back of 170 page motion but she's asserted that she holds no financial personal conflict of interest inter-prosecution of Trump. Okay, just because cops and prosecutors don't hint for me, I want to point out how full of shit that is. Because if you took her out to a nice dinner with part of the $650,000, her office paid him, that's objectively not true. Right. Right. And now he says they kept the person, they always go Dutch basically. Every trip they take it together and every dinner, they go hazy's. Okay. I guess I'll believe you. But either way,

it doesn't really pertain to the prosecution. It just looks like shit. It's also like if your position is that this is a vitally important case you're working on, which most of America, well, at least half of America agrees with, right? Like, and then you hire a dude who is objectively unqualified,

and you do that because of what that tongue do or whatever, like that undermines the whole thing. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know how you can say that after making a move like that. You know what I mean? It just makes it all seem disingenuous. It's not,

I know on our Patreon episode, we had this article that said like the stakes were too high for her to do this but that's like I mean I agree with that like it this is one of the most highly scrutinized cases fucking in recent American history it involves a former president like everybody's watching you can't you can't do shit like this like I was up when I first moved to LA I was up for my first big TV writing job and I'm not getting it's a famous successful show that I would have been proud to work on and like I had a week out from the interview and I like cut out salt a completely clean

you know like did that kind of shit because like you got one shot you know it's meant your chance to blow this lady's chance to go down in history right and maybe get elected governor if not senator or whatever and she's like I'm gonna fuck this guy that I'm on my payroll it'll look really really bad

it's like it's fucking crazy man I can't just constantly let down by our leaders it's American democracy for you we'll move on from it in just a second but I know she's like saying oh there's no conflict there and she's not going to recuse herself. But, like, you think that's going to stick?

Like, they're not going to just let this go, right? I'm sure they're going to keep harping on this or whatever. Like, it's not, to me, it's not legally relevant. With what prosecutors usually get away with, this is not really considered a conflict of interest. They usually can get away with straight up, like, hiding evidence to murder people. Yeah. The accusations here is that she has a financial stake in the prosecution of Trump because

they're using taxpayer money to pay her boyfriend and she's getting a, she's obviously get as a you know a stake in that i don't think that in the normal course of the ship cops and prosecutors get away with that would not hold water to a to a judge but i don't know who this judge wants to win yeah so there you go all right well glad there's been a wrench thrown into that whole thing all right well continued producer matters with us doing his thing this is weekly skews i want to remind you all before we go on of a couple of things number one if you'd like to see me do stand-up comedy live and in person and i really recommend commend it.

in the intervening seven days things have not gotten much better we'll dive into that again a little later and we got i want to just so last week we talked about the uh the uh the constitutional and conceptual problems with the Republican arguments and how crazy they are. This week is more about the silly nothingness that's happening on the ground in Texas than how it's being exaggerated. I just sort of like, I don't want to play into the whole crisis language that Republicans want because it's not, I will tell you why. I think I love it. Sure. Yes, it, right. Everything's dumb and bad down there, but not in the way that they presented as. Right. In the way that, the way that's being handled by our government, especially on the right. All right. But

Before all that, we've got some other things for you, including us begin with the Daily Dumbass. Matt, graphic, please. All right, tonight's D.D., the kids who are going to miss out on Satan class in school just because of wokeness. That's right. Watch this video from an Iowa hearing. Hi, I'm Gordoba, I'm a lifelong island. I am a minister of Satan for the Satanic Temple.

I personally oppose Bill HF 273 because I believe in the separation of church and state. But if the bill does pass, I'm excited for the opportunities it presents the Satanic Temple to provide support, services, and programs

to be school children in our state. I want to have several ordained ministers of Satan, and we would be happy to engage children. Hail Satan. Hell, I want, and thank you for your time. All right. Hell, Satan, Hill, Iowa, yeah.

I love a good hell Satan anytime it comes up, never doesn't hit for me. I also, we've talked about these guys before the Satanic Temple. You know, as we've said before, there's the Church of Satan, and there's a satanic temple, and they are very different. The Church of Satan is just kind of a nihilist, hedonistic, do whatever the fuck you want, type of philosophy. And it's libertarian, really, if you had to have a political analog for it. But the satanic temple, their whole thing is like highlighting the inherent hypocrisies with these religious laws that we have and trying to, you know, encourage the separation of church and state and things like that. So I like the, I like the satanic temple. I like what they're about.

I like that this guy's doing this. It all hits for me. You know, his name is Mortimer Adamalek. And he has red sunglasses. glasses on inside and whatnot. And it's like all that I think maybe they could rain in a little bit. It's sort of like when the marijuana legislation movement was getting like mobilized and more popular.

And it's like anytime you saw somebody on the news representing normal or whatever, it was always like a white dude with dreadlocks and talking with a Jamaican accent for some reason, even though he's from Nebraska or whatever. Talk about how weed is a vitally important medicinal herb and shit. like, I don't know if you're going to reach the mammals and papals with this. This kind of feels similar to me, but these people do hit for me. I like what they're about. And I'm glad they're out there doing it.

I appreciate it. Yeah, yeah, the Church of Satan is more like libertarian and the Satanic temple is like a little bit more liberal in a sense they're down. They do like community outreach programs and like food drives to help people and shit. So like if the Church of Satan is Catholic, these are like the Episcopalians. All right. So, so this is. this is an Iowa right and uh they seem to be pushing kind of pushing ahead with the bill

in the mean in the meantime while they i guess they don't believe the status are going to go through with like actually starting school programs if they like christians do it um but i do want to like note that the news article covering this did actually make the point that it should be noted the satanic temple is a group meant to promote secularism or religious freedoms in general and not actually worship any sort of devil and i'm glad they put that in there and also like this guy's facial i think it actually plays in the situation because you can tell he's trolling even the person, the person filming this was laughing, right? Right.

Yeah. Like, I think that it kind of helps because they're, they're trying to, they're trying to be cartoonishly evil looking to make the point that they're not fucking evil looking, right? Yeah. But over in Idaho, they're doing the same thing. And they actually, the Satanist in Idaho actually got them to stop doing church stuff in schools, at least temporarily.

They're going to, they're going to try to move something called the Blaine Amendment, which is like a state version of keeping church out of schools. it was going to allow taxpayer money to pay for private religious schools and they're satanic Idaho and they're it's not quite as cool as mortimer what is the guy's name mordermalek Mortimer O'Dromolek yeah this guy's name is Rowan Astra we got to get a satanic name generator train yeah right we do so they got a they're they're reconsidering it they also but also they pivoted notice's headline here happy to engage children uh sorry And Matt still has the Iowa headline up here.

But here's this Idaho headline. Round up, House Committee pauses blame amendment removal and introduces anti-porn bill. So they stopped allowing church in school and struggling when I try to put church in your pants. So let me talk. So their porn bill, I've got about a couple of them today, but the House State Affairs Committee is introducing a bill trying to require pornography websites to verify our users age in Idaho or risk being sued in civil court. now with other states have tried this kind of thing and poor they just block all the porn to the state because it's kind of like impossible to do kids are just going to steal their dad's drivers so that's what I was about to ask I feel that I you know I've I've got some experience in the internet porn world I was there in the beginning all right I was there at the beginning of the saga uh in the Halcyon days and I can definitely remember age verification being a thing at certain points along the way but it was was easy to skirt or whatnot, but they had it in there, some kind of fail safe.

Like, but again, it's easy to cheat it. But I always thought it's like, well, I guess they got to do that legally or whatnot. So I don't really understand what's different about. Well, in most sites, I think more stringent about it or something. In most sites, still have to click if you're over 18 thing, right? Right. But this must be something more stringent than that, like having to put in your driver's license or something, which is like, they're already behind the time because they're now automatically, like, they're like artificial intelligence, fake. ID sites that can make them instantaneously.

It looks super realistic. So, yeah, whatever. Anyway, it's not going to work. But over in Oklahoma, there's a more hardcore bill coming down. This guy wants to put people in jail just for watching porn. He's a fundamentalist preacher slash state senator named Dusty Devers, which is, you know, everyone's made this joke, but it's a very porn name. It is. Well, if you replaced the D's with V's,

look out busty beavers baby yeah he's only two letters away from being a real starlet but yeah now dude you know this guy's search history is wild bro

anybody that's anybody that's this obsessed with porn is into some freaky dicky shit every fucking time I feel like so this would not just jail people who create make porn who's making porn in Oklahoma

I don't know I mean you know amateur stuff I guess but like yeah So, but also, like, if you could, you watched porn, you could get 20 years in prison? Crazy. It would create a bounty system similar to what Texas instituted in its infamous abortion bill that would allow those who read out their horny neighbors to collect civil penalties of up to $10,000. So how is my neighbor going to know that I'm watching pornography? Right.

It's my question. Like, how is this all going to work? You don't do it in front of the window? yeah but no i hate this type of like nancy grace type shit which encourages people to fucking like snoop on and snitch on their neighbors and stuff like that i'm going to drive over to burbank and peep in your window i'll be like hello 911 tray is honking his bingas so so like it also like the bill defines pornography which is famously supreme court could figure out how to do they said i know it when i see it right um it says it has brics

pornography done into ten categories which include sexual intercourse which is normal or perverted, so both varieties, anal sodomy, which so I guess you can still get a BJ, excretion in the context of sexual conduct. So I'm not sure if he means like a male orgasm or like... Pay and impovered. Yeah.

Lude exhibition of the uncovered general's buttocks or if such a person is female, the breast. It would also criminalize sexting except between married people. What? You know who is least likely? Married people. That's what I was about to say. Like, what the fuck?

First of all, me and Katie have been together for so long. We kind of predate sexting even being a thing, really. But like, I feel like that's a play in the field type of situation there. Like getting to know somebody, you know, like in the honeymoon phase, when you got a new relationship, a new fling going, a new hot flame. That's when you're sexting. Married people don't be sexting.

It's ridiculous. Yeah, it's like a. the drugstore, need me to pick you up some emotium. Also, can't wait to see your tits. Right. Yeah, exactly. So, Devers likes to write thought poems on Twitter about pornography. Let me

quote one for you. Pornography is the opium of the masses. The powerful keep it to suppress the virulent. The immature assume it's harmless a harmless supplement. I don't know if I could, whatever. So good luck, Dusty Devers. I don't think your bill will ever

see the light of day, and you will embarrass everyone you come in contact with during your brief stay in the Senate. Yeah, I mean, look on the one hand, the older I get and everything and also having twain sons who are going to be hitting puberty any day now. Like, I don't think that you got to be real careful

with porn. You know, like porn. Porn is like, there's a lot of shit about porn that ain't cool or healthy or okay, just generally speaking, both for the people watching it and the people engaged with it. But you know, This is also ridiculous, I think, trying to turn us into a fucking, like, you know.

Right. I mean, like, I'm not covered up hellscape. I'm sort of that to what you're saying. I understand why without thinking about it for half a second, it would be appealing to you to have like an age verification system so your children couldn't get pretty pornographic content. But really, in the real world, your option is to add it to the sex talk. No, I know. No, that's the thing. As a day, I know I have to, like, it's up to me and Katie to be on top of that and like.

deal with that because yeah it wouldn't matter what they would do i know i was a teenage boy again in the pioneer days of internet porn like i know and we got caught i would multiple times too i never got you we got caught because like you we tried to find porn and back then porn was like a picture of of titties that would like load one line of pixels at a time and it took like 15 minutes to pull up or whatever and we tried to get a couple of those going at one you know, to get like maximum efficacy and that would cause a lot of porn pop-ups to come up and crash the computer and then like my buddy Bain's mom would come home and be like, what's wrong with the computer?

We're like, nothing. I don't know what you're talking about. And then like she turns it on and all the porn is still on there, that type of thing. That happened. That's a hypothetical. I'm not saying that exact scenario happened, but it did multiple times. Yeah. So yeah, team of boys will figure it out.

Like, no matter what, they'll figure it out. We were two or old to have the internet at the house, but we had a satellite dish. I would like stay up to like 2 a.m and like the like the like the uh oh yeah skinamax we had skinna max too yeah yeah yeah so to get to lose sleep for I wish you had the internet I would get a lot more sleep today that I'm saying they don't know they don't understand the struggle you'd have to be in a room together with your five best friends at 14 waiting waiting to 1 15 a.m just hoping some boobies would show up on what's on cable channel where that was a possibility, right? And then when it happened, you had to get, you had to go. You had to be

ready. You had to be sitting on go. Ready to make it happen because you didn't know when you were going to get another chance, you know. Yeah. Watch, Shannon Tweed, watch a car. Like, when's Red Tweed? When does Red Tweed? Queen. Absolutely. Yeah. Oh, those were the days. Anyway, uh, all right. So our honorable mention for Daily Dumbass is the social justice mob who doesn't know it's every American's First Amendment right to be in. Star Wars. That's right, in case y'all missed it. Elon Musk is helping Gina Carrano Sue Lucasfilm over her

being fired from the Mandalorian in case y'all missed it or have lives or whatever. The Mandalorans is a Star Wars show, which hit. Gina Carrano was on it as this like hardcore space marine woman and she was kind of a fan favorite. I would say it's not like she was a total standout, but you know, she was a popular character on the show.

So she decided at one point in the middle of the second season, I think, to just go on an insane transphobic and racist and other white and xenophobic diatribe on Twitter. Disney was like, hey, could you, could you maybe not do that? And she was like, fuck you. It's my right as an American to do that. And she kept doing it. And they were like, well, you're fired then. And now Elon Musk is coming to her rescue to write that wrong. Some important context here is like there's only one actual regular cast member.

of the show it's Pedro Pascal is a huge star right she was a recurring guest star which she was on like every fourth or fifth episode every now and then and she wasn't a big part of the show and also Pedro Pascal is a trans sister and also she was posting a lot of QAnon shit and Nazi propaganda cartoons yeah and also like I don't our business looks weird to people aren't in it but like you don't get fired they just didn't pick up her contract and that's like kind of an important distinction because by this by her standard they also it had also been reported I remember that like it have been reported that she was going to get a spinoff show.

But again, people in our industry, me and you know that that don't mean a goddamn, that could have fallen apart at any number of points along the way. But ostensibly, she was going to have like a spinoff show and that got taken away from her too. But, you know, I've been supposed to have five different pilots. Right. I was working on a three-week pilot gig once for like a celebrity game show. And we did like a week's worth of work on like, you know, you're coming up with like ideas

to pitch to the execs that can try to start shaping the show. I think exactly what it's going to be. After the first week, they were like, it was like a set, we sent them a seven page PDF of creative stuff. And they were like,

you know what? I'm not going to have time to read this for a couple weeks. You got, you guys can all go home. So we lost, we lost their jobs because they didn't feel like

a reading a PDF, right? So like, I'm just saying like when people, when people cry out of shit like this, I'm like, by her definition, I've been canceled 400 million times. Me too.

I know, I was just like, I remember when all this happened because I watched the mandolarian and stuff and I didn't even really think about it in this context. But yeah, it's like, I don't know this for sure, but I've definitely gotten the impression with some of the projects I've had, some of the pilots and stuff I've had that people were like, we like the idea of his whole thing, but like he's too polarizing or whatever, you know, we can't put that on network TV. His whole liberal redneck thing. It's too, like I says, too divisive in polarizing or whatnot. And I always felt like that was there. I never once felt like personally persecuted or anything for it. it. Do you know what I'm saying? But really, that comes down to, like, who I am and what I believe. But I never, ever internalized that. It's like, I'm being discriminated against. I was always just like, this is a hard game. You've got to fucking play by the, you've got to play the game and get super lucky to make anything happen. And, you know, it just is what it is. So. I wrote a, like, you look, let me an example. I'm talking about. Like, like, most of censorship or whatever in Hollywood's corporate, it's not, has nothing to do with politics, really, except specifically with Trace context.

But like, so like I wrote a crime comedy once. It was about a pill dealer. And people loved it. It was like, okay, but my age of the time was like, we're never going to be able to sell this. And I was like, how come? It goes like, because big pharma money is sponsored a ton of shit in Hollywood.

I was like, oh, yeah, okay, I get it. And like, am I canceled? Like Gina Corona, by the way, still starring in movies with daily way. It's all fucking stupid. But I wanted to quote here from the complaint that Elon's lawyers put together. uh because it's like leans into like the star wars lore to really like if i was a judge i'd be like

death penalty i know it's a simple court you get the fucking death right i don't know what they were thinking with this a short time ago on a galaxy not so far away defendants made it clear than only one orthodoxy in thoughts speech or action was acceptable in their empire and that those who dared to question or failed to fully comply would not be tolerated and so it was with carano after two how they claim seasons on the mandolian as rebel ranger caradun carano was terminated from her role as swiftly as her character's peaceful home plan of Aldernon have been Halderon have been destroyed by the dust art. Oh my God.

I hail these people so much. Yeah, the idea that the judge would be reading that and be like, well, this is too whimsical to be bullshit. I'm carried away by this. Right. The flight and fancy of this opening statement. I love it. Because we're running behind, Matt, I think we'll skip to the Netflix thing.

Yeah. Matt, because Trey wanted to talk about it. In other entertainment news where we're on the subject, next Daily Dumbass I'll remember is Netflix for turning Alexander the Great Gay. If you can throw us up there, Matt.

That's a screen drive up there, Matt. This crack me up so much. There's a new Alexander docu-series on Netflix. It's like half documentary and half series because they got reenactments and shit, Alexander the making of a god. And popular dip shit Twitter follow

and wokeness tweeted. 2.2 million followers. Yeah. No, I didn't mean popular ironically. I see them pop up all the time. They tweeted, Netflix made a new documentary about Alexander the Great. Within the first eight minutes, they turned him gay. Netflix, woke Hollywood, turned Alexander the Great, gay, Mark. Alexander the Great, of the famously, perhaps most butt-fuckingist culture in the history of human civilization. Like, I feel like the people, he was Macedonian slash Greek. I thought that that was like the main thing that people knew about them was like they had wild gods. They liked thinking about stuff. And also, they were super, super gay. Like, that's like, I just thought everybody knew that.

I can't believe being shocked at Alexander the Great having some gay tendencies and blaming it on the woke mind virus in Hollywood. man these people you cannot overstate how fucking dumb these people are it's insane there i mean it's not like alexander was the single like he wasn't just into dudes he was a single biggest force for spreading the love of dudes were about through conquest like they like afghanistan was still into like boy love until the taliban tried to stop it maybe they still are despite being hardcore muslim because they were conquered by alexander the great. He made them realize that hit, I guess. I don't fucking know. But, like, this is like, this is just so dumb. And my takeaway from this is always, like, these people are so

boring and incurious. Like, even if I didn't know that about Alexander, if I saw this tweet or the documentary, I'd be like, huh, I wonder, what's to do with that? I would start Googling it up at a rabbit hole about, like, Greek sexuality and how, I don't know, the British Empire turned the world hobophobic at the point of a gun through Catholic. It's like, whatever. That's, that's I have anecdotes to share parties. These people will never learn a single fucking thing besides being bigots. Well, even if they did, even if they didn't up down that rabbit hole, they would be like ancient Greece was woke. The woke, my virus got to ancient Greece.

How did that happen? On the one hand, they were woke. The other hand, they have slaves. So who's to say? Right. Yeah. Yeah. That is a hard, hard thing to parse.

All right. Well, we've been having too much fun. We are running a little bit behind. Let's talk about the border mark. What's going on down there? All right, let's get into this through a secondary Daily Dumbass. This really is a tie for first. Our second Daily Dumbass is the Immigration Panic Convoy people for not realizing

migrants have developed cloaking technology. Let's watch an interview with this convoy person with the border on MSNBC. Yeah, we talked last week about them heading down there on a convoy. This is somebody who did that. So we'll come from all over Texas, even other parts of the country to be here. And some of them, even though we are about a half. power from Eagle Pass have driven down to Eagle Pass to try to actually see what's happening at the border. And I spoke to a number of people who said that they're a little surprised by what they're

seeing here. I want to play a conversation with a woman Misty. Take a listen. It was, it's pretty surreal. We actually made it into Eagle Pass and we went and saw Shelby Park. I was able to see some people actually trying to cross and stopped at the at the wire there. So it was, it's very eye opening. And so and tell me more about eye opening. Is it what you expected? Is it it better? Is it worse? It's not what I expected, but then again, I don't know what I expected. I can tell you it's not as bad as what I thought. So that's

kind of eye-opening in itself, too. Yeah. All right. So these people drove all ways. Some people drove in California, some from Virginia. Like, there's a couple different convoys. A lot of them fell apart on the way through infighting. One guy got kicked out because they found out who was a pedophile. I guess they all

searched each other and try to find out who's a pedophile. Right. Anyway. They also all thought that that it was all like federal agents and shit or like a lot of them were like I'm not showing up this is some fucking deep state stuff or whatever like they were just infighting from the very beginning they get down there and they're immediately bored because nothing's really happening like that lady says saw a couple people walk up across the border and we're processed or whatever and but they were expecting like war war z that's what Fox News is telling what's going on right and like that's what I wanted to talk about today is like I was reading much more stuff of what's going on the ground than Eagle Pass and it's much more sense. cynical and stupid that I think is able that the news is willing or capable to get across. Because these people were down there and they're telling reporters that they're very confused because they were told something is happening. It's not. They expect to see lines of immigrants lined up wanting entry and many trying to cross the border outside the normal ports of entry. That hasn't happening at all.

What's wild about this to me is like it illustrates that these people's eyes do work and that not only that, but that can impact what their brains. are thinking, which I wasn't sure that some of these people were capable of. Do you know what I'm saying? Like they, like, they need to get out of their goddamn basements and go investigate some shit more or something because like, these people are truly true believers and they get down there and they're like, well, this is, this isn't right. You know, like there's still some rationality in there, which I'm kind of surprised by. There are some segments of them who think that what happened was Joe Biden

redirected the con that micritorial? There you go. Because remember he's in. That makes way more sense to make. He's in control of them. He's communicating with these people. He told him like, which you need to do is start walking from Venezuela, Guatemala, and Guatemala and El Salvador. And the people that are flying in Mexico from China to come to the border, and the

people are flying from Africa to Mexico to come to the border. Joe Biden's personally on a text threat, all right? And he told him, it's like, you know what? They're on notice of Eagle Pass. What you've got to do is go literally half a mile east or west and the gates are open at the border and you can walk in. We'll get to that in a second because that's reality there.

It's like they've set up this like theater camp and Eagle Pass at a state park where they're fighting with the federal government over the razor wire and not actually doing anything at the rest of the border. Right. Right. So I'm sure all the people that are coming up or whatever are just not going there because why would you go there? Because that's where the whole circus is.

just go somewhere else. But remember, a lot of them do want to present themselves to the federal government. They're just avoiding Greg Abbott's fucking, you know, stormtroopers. Right. Right. Because they're not letting them get to the federal government. So anyway, well, I'll get that a second, but like, the few couple last things in the caravan people. I watched the video, it was just too long and sad to show this woman was weeping because she's talking about how she felt so fooled.

She'd been grifted and no one else there actually cares about the actual issue. She cares about what she does seem to care, but you think she'd look and be like, wait, I care about the wrong thing, right? Also, what blows my mind about people like that is like eight years, you've gone eight years without that moment. I'm going back to 2016, right? Like the initial rise of Trump, you somehow made it eight years without experiencing that moment that you're experiencing right now, but realizing like, oh, I've been lied to. This is bullshit.

But I guess she has because she probably ain't gone nowhere or, you know, really left her town or her, her bubble in that eight years. You know what I'm saying? Like I watched it like there's a YouTuber who I wasn't familiar with but I was fed his content and like I guess he's like he's non-political and he tried to make that point. It's like I went down there to see what's happening and I got to, if I'm being honest, I'm usually talk politics, but I was more, I was leaning more towards the Republican side of this debate and that I drove along the border and I saw that the state government doesn't actually care about it. Migrants getting through because I watched him getting through just a handful coming through open gates that no.

one's guarding while they're making this big show half a mile away it's all bullshit and he was like get off your screens turn the TV off right right it's like it's like that's the main thing is like this is a fucking turn we everybody needs to turn the TV off and go look for some first hand sources and people doing on the ground reporting yeah yeah I mean not y'all y'all leave the leave the screen on for a little bit for like 17 more minutes but yeah but then after that you should listen to mark turn the screen off and uh I try to tell people like from firsthand sources of like I'm not like we're see if we were trying to do what cable news is doing you would pretend to be a conservative and we would argue about this right instead of trying to figure out what the actual reality is

right so like it's like it's just like it's so weird to me but anyway like the people the people the work the convoy people are still into it and since there are no migrant someone to harass or shoot really what they did when they started doing like a bunch of baptisms in gun t-shirts yeah right well they got that to fall back on right yeah there's always that the two main things that have happened down there since the convoy got down there is they called in a bomb threat to a migrant facility. Now, important thing to note here is one of the Republicans' main complaints is they want more people detained. So what these assholes did was call in a place where they're being detained. Right. And forced it to be evacuated to another facility. It was

175 migrants who had to move to another facility. So it's 175 beds. They unfreeed. up so people can't be detained, which I don't want them detained, but like, I mean, unless they have some sort of intel or criminal record that's some sort of bad actor. I'm not saying that everybody come across is up to, like, it's up to no good. But like, these people, like, their, their bomb threat goes against their own fucking purposes. There's also a state rep down there. It says some members of the convoy robbed a bank, which I haven't been, I couldn't find a verification for that. But anyway, I hope it's true because it's funny, but they came to stop criminal. Anyway, I'm not telling you that happened because I couldn't

fucking prove it, but whatever. So I read this piece in Texas Monthly going back to my take that it's just purely like a, it's a place for Republican politicians to go and do TV hits, all right, where they stand and like, you know, that fake like safari gear they wear

when they're getting disasters, but they go stand there and do that in front of razor wire and guys of guns. Absolutely. The fucking governor of South Dakota or whatever who doesn't have a, you know, federal border anywhere in their state can go to the further away border all the way down there and stand there with a cowboy hat on holding a shotgun in front of it and be like,

look what I'm doing. It's like, bitch, you're fucking 1,500 miles away. You ain't got shit to do with this. But, yeah, it is all absolutely theater. Yeah. I mean, Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee, he was down there too. He was down there doing his thing naturally. So, yeah.

So like the headline of this Texas monthly piece called literally. calls it a movie set and he tries to describe what's going on down there. It's like, yeah, like, so they walk into like a pastry shop called Sweet Treats, and it's a bunch of National Guardsmen with, like, AR-15, just eating like cookies and shit. And the movie set, quote, comes from a guy named Humberto O Garza, who's the spokesman for the Eagle Pass Police Department. Here's the police and Eagle Pass who were saying, we don't need federal help.

They're just coming here to stand around and look like fucking dipshits. He said, he said, Shelby Park is effectively a movie. set because that's where all the cameras and stuff are but if you go half a mile the gates to the United States are open the only evidence of micro traffic with the pilot clothes that accumulated on the shore because what they do is they you know they they do frame style when you cross the river you take off the dirty clothes and put on the drag clothes because it's cold um so uh there's a me quote one business owner who's like uh said he's more of a trump more of a trump sporting type dude but he said basically he's talking about how um nobody's doing anything anymore

The decline in migrant traffic to the area, this guy named Hernandez said, makes the militarization of Shelby Park seem superfluous. It makes no difference to me now. They should have done that way sooner and not wait until the migrants have been moved somewhere else. And there's another business owner. I can't tell her political views from the way she was quoted, but she owns like a nine-hole golf course. Her name's Carla Rodriguez. And she's like, her main takeaway was like, yeah, it used to bug me, but like migrants would walk across my golf course. But now the National Guardsmen are parking their fucking Humvees on my golf course.

So, like, they're basically using Humvee because it's fucking golf carts. And that's her main problem with the border air quote unquote crisis. Yeah. This is like, this is like such an insane way to fucking do business as a country, man. It's just like, is anyone, does anyone seem interested in like what reality is anymore? No. No, I mean, that's the main problem with our, with our current timeline is, yeah, reality has become immaterial. Right.

It's all about feelings and what you want to be the case. Doesn't matter what actually is the case. Yeah. So let's pivot over. to Washington, D.C., where they're trying to turn whatever this, all this is, we've just been describing to you, into a policy fight slash bill slash solution or whatever. The Border Patrol Union put out a statement in favor of this bill, which the merits of the bill, I'm not a huge fan of, but whatever. Border Patrol likes it. Leads me to think it probably shouldn't like it,

but like here's Mike Johnson talking about the Border Patrol endorsement. I think it at the election. The Border Patrol Union has said, come out and said, the bill is better than the status quo. Does that affect your thinking on this? Well, I think it does have something to do with the pay structure that's in the bill. I understand that they're desperate for measures that will assist. Okay. The Republican Speaker of the House is saying that border cops are overpaid pigs. Right. Right. Oh, God. Like, it's like, if AOC said that?

I know. I know, right? That's what I'm saying. Imagine, yeah, right. Right. Like the Border Patrol, that's supposed to be your guy. Those are your guys. And then those guys, they see you go on the news and just like rag on them in front of everybody and, you know, and imply that you're only motivated by getting a raise and whatever else. It's like, it's crazy. These people pick each other. It's fun. We used to, I know we've talked about this before, but like, I used to always go off on tangents and get mad about how like there's so much infighting in the left. It used to drive me crazy. And I'd be like, I'm fuck the right. I can't. But, like, the one thing I'll give them is they generally stick together, right? I used to feel that way for a long time. And that has just completely falling apart, I feel like in the past, you know, year or so, year, 18 months or whatever. And don't even wrong, it's hitting for me. I've been appreciating it.

But yeah, they're just like, I feel like Trump is literally tearing these people apart from the inside. Yeah. Before all this happened, I was going to, we're going to talk about some state party share with like a couple of state, Republican state parties basically don't exist right now because there's so much infighting over stuff. like the michigan's broke and fucking the national parties broke and ronna mcdan was like constant limbo between the state of being fired or not it's like like it's kind of fucking hilarious but like you're talking about the infighting and i do just want to note that like customs and border patrol is probably the head most head crack in his police force in america

outside of the now disbanded baltimore baltimore gun trace task force and like if if they don't hit for it's like oh god it's like i don't we're through the looking glass here on so many way uh so many fronts man um so talking about the infighting so jim lankford we talked about week who put together this border bill. Right. Republican from Oklahoma, right, who put together the bill, yeah. Today, a reporter asked him how it felt like to be run over by a bus, and he said, and he replied and backed up. So now Lankford won't even say if he'll vote to advance his own bill when it comes up on Wednesday. We're basically one news cycle away from Lankford demanding his own resignation over this.

But we've seen this movie before we read you, this headline from 2013. Rubio backs away from own immigration bill becoming law. He had to fucking vote against his own immigration bill that he put together. 2013 is like a political eon ago, but after 2012, the post mortimer after Romney loss, written by the RNC, was like, we need

to become less racist and less anti-immigrant. That was 2013. They tried to do this, and they got a huge backlash in their base, and Marco Rubio was kind of never heard from again. All right, so, is a Republican Party in a nutshell right now. They're going to kill the harshest immigration bill in decades because their nominee wants to run on the issue stupidly.

Also, they're launching an impeachment inquiry into the DHS secretary for not being harsher on immigration. They tried to hold the first impeachment vote today. Marjor Taylor Green is the impeachment manager, so you want to know how that's going? The first vote lost because they couldn't count votes. Four Republicans voted with all Democrats in voting, no. It's the first time in U.S. history that an impeachment vote against a cabinet member has failed.

The highlight of it was Democrat Representative Al Green from Texas. He was wheeled in just as a vote. vote had appeared headed toward tie with no shoes on and hospital scrubs his pants said he just had surgery but came to vote against the impeachment everybody clap this is so fucking silly man but like this is this all started all right the immigration bill thing over ukraine and funding everyone's sort of forgotten that right because democrats want to appear harsh in immigration right now. The border

the board, enhanced border enforcement right? Was the tradeoff. Dems were going to get. Right. For Ukraine. Yeah, right. Now Ukraine funding, I don't know what the fuck's going on with that.

But now Democrats are for passing an authoritarian border bill with no tradeoff because they want to be able to slam Republicans for being soft on immigration. I can't. How fucking. They think they think they're gonna win the Fox News grandpas if they hit a few more Mexicans in the head

with Iraq or something? Wait, they're not, so the Ukraine part ain't even part of it anymore? And the Democrats are still trying to get it to pass? Because I didn't know that. I thought it was like a,

you know, whatever you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours, compromise type of thing, which happens in politics. That's what I thought was happening here. They've just... They think it's such a good issue for them

because the Republicans are so incompetent and stupid. They're trying, they're not going to pass the bills so it doesn't matter. I get the idea. It's like if they... especially knowing how Trump is and how much he has them in thrall and everything. Like, if they know, it's like, hey, Trump will be furious if they pass this.

He's not going to let them pass this. And they all do what he says. So, like, they're not going to do it. But they're saying they want it to happen. So if we come to the table and say we're willing to make it happen and make them shit their own pants in front of everybody because we know that they're, you know, their supreme leader isn't going to allow them to do it. That, you know, that's like good political fucking skull duggery or whatever. Right.

If they know it's not going to happen anyway. Like I kind of. Yeah. So you, so yeah, last week, Mike Johnson was like, well, we need to split up the bills and just do the Ukraine funding and the border bill separately. Yeah. And I was like, that defeats the purpose. Throw me in. No, no.

That would be awesome. Oh, okay. They wouldn't have to do the border shit. They could just get the money to help Ukraine. Fight back, right. They wouldn't even have to pretend about it. Well, but also, but that works in reverse, too, right? The Republicans just straight up wouldn't pass the Ukraine. There are enough Republicans. The problem is, like, the, it's like the freedom caucus types that would, like, they don't want to fucking fund Ukraine, but would need to be bought

off of border funding. There are, there are, there are lots of Republicans who would want to support Ukraine. Okay. Well, yeah. They just held prisoner by the fucking dipshits. And they, remember, they, they have a bare majority. So, like, they, they, they can get both. They'll take both. But like, it's, it's all, our system of government. government is so fucking stupid. Like, it's just like, this is not a way to run something. Right. Honestly, can't believe it survived this long.

But like, we won't watch the video, but Dan Crenshaw was like, I want to pass this bill. I'm like, if you're a Democrat, what would you want to pass a bill that Dan Crenshaw's for in general? Although he would vote for Ukraine funding. But like, so like, but the way their Democrats are talking about this, they're trying to like, the main

reason this is dumb is you don't grant your opponent's framing for an issue. If you just told you what's going on the actual border. Why are you leaning into the apocalyptic war crisis? The idea that it's a huge crisis, right? And also, you're not very popular in immigration. It's just bad electoral politics to raise the salience of an issue which people hate you for, rightly or wrongly. Right. That's a point. Yep. It's like you don't fight on your opponent's battleground. You don't let them pick. That's like the first thing on Sun Tzu's Wikipedia page. Right? And they're just doing it's

costly. It's like the way modern politics works is like a Democratic president pushes a right-wing bill. And if your age is based and is designed to appeal to GDP voters, who will never fucking vote for him, and Republicans can't support the bill in any because of a violent backlash. That's what happened with the immigration and compromise that Rubio wrote in 2013. Right. I mean, again, I do

get the thought process, the idea behind like, again, let's give them enough rope to hang themselves with. This will make them look bad ultimately. And I could see, but like, but the reality is they'll just do what they've already done and reframe the conversation and make it seem like this bill

as a threat to America, which the fucking Democrats come up with. And they'll throw one of their own under the bus in order to do that, this Langford guy. And their whole base will just eat that up. And that'll be the story after that. And you're fucked either way. Like you're not going to, you just cannot, you can't win with these people. That's right. That's why you don't play their game.

Exactly. No, I agree. So like, it's like, so Fox News, the right wing is telling them all these immigrants are coming to kill your families. And now Democrats are trying to pass this bill that basically says, yes, immigrants are coming to kill, come in to tell your families and we want to do something about it Republicans aren't responsible to govern enough

to help us stop the immigrants who are coming to kill your families? Yeah. Right? It's like why are you granting that fucking framing? And I'd say like everything in the bill is bad. There's stuff in there that would help like get legitimate asylum claims process more quickly, right?

There's stuff in there like we talked about last week for more judges and more lawyers to like help represent people and stuff. That's all that that's good, but it's paired with like really harsh restrictions of enforcement. And like if, like Bob Manendez who he shit

on Kosti for being horrifically came out and said he's not going to vote for the bill calling it a Trump wish list and I was like

okay so stop you know the onion meme the worst guy you know just made a great point yeah

it's like okay but it's like it's always the same dumb plan let's publicly publicly fail on a GOP coded issue

in a way they can clearly be blamed the GOP will look responsible the GOP will look bad it's like no

it never fucking works It's the same thing over and over again. It just makes them look weak. And also in weak on their opponent's strong issue. It's like, what? Yeah, I could go off. No, it is just weird because it's like I say, going back to that lady we saw on the clip that opened this segment,

like she went down there. She clearly saw it and was like, I've been lied to. This is not what I thought was happening. I want to give it to her. Her brain is capable of doing that. Yeah. But yet, I feel like the Democrats are trying to,

to make that happen with a lot of these people through these policy decisions and stuff. They're trying to like initiate that type of revelation. But it just never happens like when the media and shit is involved. It's like they have to be there on the ground and experience it firsthand or that you'll never get through in that way. I want to give it to that lady because the thing we're sitting on the Alexander the great guy for not being curious enough to figure out what reality was. She actually wanted to figure it out.

But my question into you is would she be curious enough? If Democrats were saying all this shit last week, and it was like, even Democrats agree there's a huge crisis going on at the border. Right. Right. Vance on YouTube says, like, you just want to yell, stop trying to kick the football, Charlie Brown,

for fuck's sake. And yes, that's a good analogy. And I'll get to say, like that. We used to have the Dream Act and like dreamers and stuff like that. I'm not sure what fucking happened to all that stuff. Like, I don't even know what a genuinely left-wing immigration bill would look like at this point. because like, like any, I used to want to be like a desk R a dorm, a desk attendant,

because my job was to sign people that out of the dorm, right? Any organization building whatever wants to keep track of who's in it. So you do want to like know who's in America. You do want to get people processed and figure out, give them, you know, figure out. Nobody's arguing to just have the whole thing literally open. They act like it's open, but that's not what anybody's saying should have it. Get them social security numbers. They pay fucking taxes.

Some of them are wanting for horrific crimes in South America, then you can fucking figure it with it. But you've got to track them and process them to figure that out. You're not going to expel them all. Like, you've got to, the word amnesty is a dirty word, but you've got to figure out some way to legalize these people because it's just like it's a no way to run anything, man. It's childish to pretend like reality is we can just like snap our fingers

and deport 10 million people or whatever. Yeah. Mark Nolan stands with Ukraine on Twitter. I didn't know. I didn't know we're even still able to stream on Twitter. So this hits from me. Says Tucker is interviewing. Putin to help trash Ukraine funding.

Yeah, I know Tucker's he got out of for being in Moscow at a ballet and everybody was like he's there to interview Putin. Apparently he is. So that's going to come out in the coming days and I'm sure we'll have some clips for it next week. I have to imagine. All the free speech warriors have a super

hard on for a way. I wouldn't want to talk to a world leader engaged in a military world conflict. And yet I get what you're saying, but there are legitimate Russian journalists who had to flee their country for covering this war. Right. To like fucking put on a flat Jack, I'd cover an actual war zone. Tucker's interviewing Putin in like a Ritz-Carlton hotel room in

fucking Moscow. Yep. So we'll see the outcome of that next week. Like I said, I'm sure we'll make fun of some of it. So y'all come back. I guess, okay, once again, thank y'all for watching. Go to Trey Crowder.com.
