Episode Date: February 14, 2024

Tonight: sure, Donald Trump may be an aging megalomaniac who openly threatens to unravel democracy and throw our allies to the Russian wolves, but have you considered that Joe Biden is, like, super old? That discussion plus more, so join us. Support the show

what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you it's February 13th one day before Valentine's Day I'm Trey that's Mark Mark you feeling the love in the air how you feeling over there Happy early Valentine's Bay buddy I actually did good this year I actually have presents my wife this will be a soul piece of press she doesn't listen she will never listen to this she's uh here here's enough of my opinions but so like but i did i don't have like gift bags in our card yet so i still have to do the loser husband cvs shopping after we do this me too yeah i'm going to have to do that tomorrow well i used to do this whole thing it's like i used to have this whole position i was like no valentine's day

is a corporate bullshit holiday it's like it's you know it's consumerism writ large they're they're con and us all is what's happening here has nothing to do with love and i'm not going to play into that, right? And it turns out that don't really go over particularly well. You should at least get some flowers or chocolates. It's like, is that, is that stance really worth not buying a heart-shaped box of chocolates, telling me why if you love her or whatever, you know, sure. I used to have the same stance about marriage itself. And I did that. So there we go. Yeah. But also, I looked it up for my Patreon like last year and uh some form or semblance of valentine's day has actually been around for like a pretty long time which i didn't really i know it's like the whole narrative it's all

it was created by hallmark or whatever but that's not entirely accurate some like it's been a thing for longer than you think so yeah the pagan's probably had a designated day to be horny so you just kept you going uh so yeah a couple things we get to the show so super will happen on sunday congratulations to Chiefs Nation. So the Chiefs won, obviously. So it's either bad news for America's Patriots or great news because their conspiracy theories are proved right. And the CIA pulled it off. So but so but Trump came out before the, they still, they'd seem to deeply believe that Taylor Swift was going to endorse Joe Biden at the trophy president.

Anyway, so Trump was like all over. He basically came out and said that Taylor Swift would be a traitor for endorsing not him, because he signed the Music Modernization Act, which the idea that Trump was deep in the wheeves negotiating new regulations for streaming and copyright infringements. A hell of funny to me. Yeah, but so if you read the actual message he wrote, though, I feel like it's about as diplomatic as you'll ever see Trump be where he's like,

no, she wouldn't, she would never do that. She would never be disloyal to me. Besides, I like her boyfriend Travis despite him being a dirty liberal, you know, like I think he's fine. I like him, because my takeaway from this message was like, holy shit, even Donald Trump lives in fear of the Swifty's retribution, you know what I mean? Like even he doesn't want to incur their wrath because he's walking on eggshells when talking about Taylor Swift, and he don't do that with nobody else.

Right. So. Yeah, maybe he really wants their endorsement. It's also really funny that people have, like, decided that Travis Kelsey's become the face of soy boy libs. I know. He's such a dude, bro. His deepest political opinion is probably like it'd be cool if Obama made an album or something.

I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. He took money from Pfizer to do a vaccine ad or whatever. And he dates Taylor Swift who hates Marsha Blackburn and whatnot. And that makes him, you know, Carl Marx or something of the gridiron, which is, yeah, is all pretty, pretty ridiculous. So it wasn't just, his opinion this wasn't just funny to me. Here's a quote from Dina LaPolt, who's an entertainment attorney who lobbied Congress over this and I'll draft the bill.

The claim is funny to me. Trump did nothing under legislation except sign it, and he doesn't even know what the music modernization act does. Someone should ask them what the bill actually accomplished. Now, what do you want to say for me? The bill does some bullshit. It made it easier to archive what was getting copyrighted where. So like artists streaming music companies and play record labels were all on board for it because it made it easier for artists to get paid and also for record companies and streamers to not get sued. But for me personally, it doesn't hit because it made it a lot harder to sample and wrap, it seems like,

and I like sample wrap over keyboard beats. So that's my personal complaint about it. Oh, yeah, okay. You big Puff Daddy fan? You big, big, big, big, big P. Ditty guy. Dr. Dr. Jada greats, man. Like, run the jewels.

No, I know. They all delayed, yeah, it was delayed like a market because it couldn't clear a sample. They all sample, dude. It's wild. There's some Instagram accounts and stuff you can follow where it's, it's just dedicated to, like, the various sampling that happens in ramp, rap music, and not in a critical way, in a wild way. They'll take, they'll take some esoteric,

on reverse it, slow it way down, and make that the foundation for a trap beat or whatever. It's pretty crazy, the shit they do. Whereas, you know, Puff Daddy, he just, like, took songs from the 80s, made them sound so crazy, as he himself said. So, yeah. Producers, as much, like, as people don't get it, like, they are actual artists and musicians, and, like, they do do crazy shit with it. Like, do you know who the most sampled, what the most sampled musical artist is is Michael

McDonald, the cheesy 80s crew? Rappers love Michael McDonald's. There's another one. I'll tell you who I thought you were going to say, because there's another guy who's on that same list, Billy Squire. Billy Squire, Strope me, stroke me.

His, like, apparently some of it, a lot of his, like, bass licks and stuff from his songs and shit. He's also one of the most heavily sampled artists of all time. And rappers give it up to Billy Squire, too, because he's like a foundational contributor to hip-hop. Billy Squire is because of sampling. So, yeah, it's a fun rabbit hole.

So another thing Trump did over the weekend was he asked his followers without validation, but that he looks like Elvis. If you throw up the picture, Matt, he put this up on true social and asked his followers to talk about it. Me quote here, for so many years, people have been saying that Elvis and I look alike. Now this pick has been going all over the place. What do you think? And I got to say, no. Also, Elvis is like 24 years old. Right.

It's not the first time he's trying to say he looks like Elvis, by the way. He did it in 2018. Apparently he's been doing this bit since the 90s. That's crazy. It's funny. The first thing he popped into my head was that Counting Crow song around here. He says she got off the bus from Nashville or whatever. She said she liked to meet a boy who looks like Elvis.

And I pictured like Donald Trump walking up in the video. You know what I mean? Some little ingenue gets off the bus in Los Angeles looking for a boy who looks like Elvis. and that Donald Trump walks up standing like a centaur and whatnot being all orange and shit, it's a big disappointment. It did start a fun conversation in his mentions about whether or not if Elvis, if he was alive, would be MAGA. That was funny. So a lot of them said no.

They like Elvis, like, would they disagree? They thought Elvis, like, wouldn't be on board with their movement. So I thought that was interesting. Dude, I love Elvis, you know, like, Elvis is one of those. Dude, that was old school superstars, especially in the music world. were full-blown insane, right? Like, they were. They were crazy.

So, like... He married a 12-year-old and died of a toilet. That's what I'm saying. There's no telling what he would have thought. It could have been like... He could love RFK Jr. It could be Q and non-Shit, but he also hates racism

and things gay people are cool. But, like, nothing would surprise me as far as Ellis' his political belief. Yeah. So everybody was talking about their favorite Super Bowl commercials. I want to flag mine. It was one, ran, by a tech entrepreneur

and I'm a Dan O'Dowd who bought ad time in five different markets to say that Tesla sucks yeah he runs an organization called the Dawn Project was basically only exist to try to put Tesla out of business or at least try to get to stop from using their full self-driving to this is the second year in a row

he's bought Super Bowl commercials both involve showing Tesla's mow down dummies of children and crosswalks and shit yeah it is like so you aired in D.C. Dover, Delaware, Santa Barbara, California, and Traverse City, Michigan. Now, D.C. government, Dover, Delaware, Joe Biden lives there. Santa Barbara, I guess Elon probably lives there. And Traverse City, Michigan, that's where Mayor Pete, Secretary of Treasury lives. He only spent

half a million dollars on these ads, but he spent more than $10 billion of his own money on this campaign so far trying to get rid of Tesla full self-driving. While Clay, he's never shorted Tesla or any stock. He's doing this purely out of the kindness or, I don't know, beef of it. I just love billionaire beefs. Imagine me $10,000 to try to ruin another guy. I know. That's what I was about to say, $10 billion he spent just on, like, trying to take Tesla down or whatever,

or not even Tesla at large, just like Tesla's self-driving thing. I mean, I just, because of the way I feel about billionaires, I can't help, but I know you just said he claims he's never shorted a stock. I just can't help but assume there has to be something else going on. But maybe it's just like a personal beef. You know what I mean? Maybe Elon's goal as girl or something. I'm agnostic on shorting stuff, except it seems stupid.

But Elon's always rambling against short sellers because like what a short seller would do is basically they take their position. They try to do oppo resource to drug your stock price down, right? So like if imagine you just go along and having a stock and all of a sudden somebody is spending 10. billion dollars you're trying to ruin your stock price. You're going to be like, this seems like some more. Anyway, I'm not my money. So one more thing we're going to get to the show. Today has a special election in New York to replace our old returning champion,

George Santos. The race involves former U.S. rep Tom S.S. S.U.O. I don't know to say it. And she's running against Nassau County Legislature of Maisie Pillop. I'm sorry if I'm butching all these names. I never heard of them said out loud. She's technically the conservative nominee, the Republican nominee, although she is a registered Democrat. It's very weird.

It's been a very weird race. They're both running to see who loves Israel the most. But of course, the House is 219, 212, and almost nobody shows up every day. So like one seat makes a big difference right now. Fun subplot here is so far the turnout's very low. One election officials quote is saying it's nothing. So it's still snowing there. It was snowing real bad on Long Island.

So the New York has been, GOP has been suing unsuccessfully to overturn the Democrats' 2003 law allowing no excuse early voting by mail. And the GOP is Democrat against early voting for years. So they might lose this race because they're dumbasses and it snowed. And the exit polls are looking pretty bad for Republicans right now. The polls don't close till 9 o'clock Easter time. so we get off, so we don't know they won't. But anyway, I hope their fuckery bites them in the ass

because it's funny when that happens. So first of all, them being hoisted by their own petard, be still my heart, who would have ever thought would say something like that? But also, like, you tell me how low the turnout is. So that means that, like, does that imply that George Santos really rallied the vote there, like, as compared to now? Like, he really motivated them. in this district of Long Island

really got the vote out because Well, it was a presidential election year, so that's got to be a fact. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People were showing up for other reasons. Yeah, sure. Well, I guess we'll see how it goes. The, yeah, Masey Pillop or whatever, I said, registered Democrat, but the Republican

candidate, also an Ethiopian Jew who served in the Israeli defense force. So, you know, a lot of layers over there for them. You know what I She was apparently a paratrooper So I'm not fucking with her

But I hope she loses Although she refused to say whether she voted for Trump In 2016 or 2020 And again, she's a registered Democrat She might get there And then caucus with Democrats That'd totally fuck them That also be really funny

So if somebody on their side Pulled some fucking Joe Manchin shit or whatever I'd be all for it And it's funny I guess they probably think that happens all the time Like they probably think that Mitt Romney is doing that You know what I mean You're like that's what happened to Kensinger

And Liz Cheney and shit like that And it's like, Liz Cheney is way more of a fucking arch conservative than Joe Manchin is a liberal. You know what I mean? It ain't the same thing. I'd love to have an actual Joe Manchin type presence, the equivalent in the GOV, I mean. But anyway, let's get into it before we continue.

I don't know if y'all have heard this or not. So you might want to sit down. This is a pretty big, pretty big piece of information. Turns out Joe Biden is still old. That's right. People are still real upset at how old Joe Biden continues to be. And apparently he is old enough to outweigh all of the things about Donald Trump in some people's minds. We'll talk about that equation a little later.

Yeah, Mark, you got something for that now. I was going to say it's like the big topic is whether or not Joe Biden's ears or brains leaking out his ears and our media is trying to get the bottom of it by yelling each other on cable news, which is our most effective investigation technique. So that's what we're going to be talking about. Yeah, so we'll get to that a little

labor at first. We got a bunch of other stuff for you beginning with, of course, the Daily Dumbass. Matt, graphic, please. Tonight's Sausage chefs in Idaho for not realizing that their time is now up. I know this is weird, but let's watch that. In one of the most anticipated moments of the morning, Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Republican Representative Heather Scott stepped to the podium in the House State Affairs Committee. R.S. 3178, cannibalism. And I know this seems like it's a heavy topic, actually. it might seem kind of gruesome, and it kind of is. Cannibalism is already a crime in Idaho under a chapter titled, Mayhem. Any person who willfully ingests the flesh or blood of a human being is guilty of cannibalism. It was passed in 1990 after a rash of unfounded satanic panic investigations in Idaho during the 80s. Representative Scott wants to add a line to that law.

Anyone who willfully provides, said flesh and blood, to another person. to adjust without that person. I'll say pause it for a second, man. Can you pause it? Because I think there's some more of this that people should see, in my opinion. But, Mark, here's what I thought. When it got to this part where it says she wants to add a line that says anyone who willfully provides the flesh or blood of another human being to be ingested without their knowledge

or consent, I thought this was about to be some adrenachrome shit. I thought this was going to be her like trying to get out in front of us liberals spiking Republican drinks at parties with baby blood and shit. I thought that's what she was worried about. But turns out that's not the case. It's equally dumb, though. No, it's like we should honestly rename this show made up Republic, made up problems by Republicans.

Absolutely. It's like, what the fuck are you put? Like, she's made up a problem that people are serving human flesh to make an addendum to a law that was previously passed because of a made up problem with satanic panic in the 80s, right? I've always thought, as somebody from Tennessee, where this happens all the time, everybody talked about DeSantis' don't say gay bill. As far as I'm aware, Tennessee had the first don't say gay bill, not bragging, way back in like 2010 or 2011. And I've-

Like nobody was saying gay? Right. Yeah. Yeah, it was way ahead of the curve. I've always thought that like these state level, especially Republicans in states like Tennessee and Idaho, they like, they're just, they need. some way to get their names out there. Do you know what I mean? They don't have a whole lot to like actually do.

I mean, they have stuff they could be doing, but they're not going to. And they need some way to like make a splash or make a name for themselves. So they come up with these wild ass esoteric, totally unnecessary, ridiculous laws and amendments and stuff so that they'll be covered in the news. And, you know, I mean, it does happen. I don't know it's the news. I think you're right that they have no desire to solve any real problems. Right.

They've got to fill their day up with something. So they make a big problem. Now, the problems he's trying to solve is twofold here. One's real. One is wild. The real one is she sort of heard that Washington State as a human composting law where, like, you can do, like, a green cemeteries where you're like, you can do the natural thing and be buried in like some sort of like, you know, environmentally friendly bag.

And then your compost can be used to, like, feed plants or something if that kind of. Right. Yeah. I've heard of that for years and years. You can, like, have your ashes turned into a tree or something. something like it's sort of hippy-dippy but like I didn't know anybody was perturbed by that I mean like some places nature who gives us shit some places are running out of the space to bury people like London like I remember reading like in London like burial plots are super expensive because

there's there's no place more to put bodies there so like the uh anyway this is the solution that problem anyway but she doesn't that doesn't hit for her because she thinks they're using the compost to like feed plants to go into the food supply so therefore she thinks that's they have downstream of communism or whatever but I got some news for you about but what all the dirt on earth is, it's dead people. But the made-up thing, and this is the wild part, she saw a TV show on a flight. She said, as a video of a food show,

and on the show, contestants were told that human flesh is a possible ingredient in the food. And that sounds horrifying, except the video she saw, and it must have been a short flight, was footage from an old David Spade show. It was a prank show called Fameless, which used improv to test how far people would go to be famous,

and the participants on the show, Matt, you just show them right here if you want to show them. The three secret ingredients that might be found in this amazing sausage that you made for us today. The three secret ingredients that might be found in the sausage are fish liver, human flesh, or shark. My shark third. Have a note. Is this, are those really the three ingredients? Yeah.

And one of the options they told these people that was in the food was human flesh. Or human flesh. God help. you, it better be shark. Not okay. That's not all right. You know, a beautiful renewable protein.

Whoa. All right. So, yeah, she got taken in by a true TV comedy show that she thought was like a documentary where they were feeding people human flesh. And she was the only person on earth who was outraged by this. So I don't know about you, but I'll see clips sometimes of like Republicans doing dumb shit and like, and I've still been taken in by this before. But like, I'll want to send it to the text thread with you, Corey and Drew or something.

before I do that, I will try to find out, is this real? Do you know what I mean? Like before I even send it in a text thread, so I don't look like a dumbass, I try to Google like, is this, are they really doing this? You know, and this lady drafted legislation, like without going through that process. Like, I won't send a text message without trying to find out whether I'm being took or not. she's like drawing up whole laws and bills and shit like it's crazy yeah so uh she's uh wild and uh representative heather scott in 2015 she was reported to cut wires as they were part

of a fire suppression system in her office because she believed that there were listening devices that were spying on her uh she also told a female lawmaker she worked with that she must have got her committee uh ranking committee appointments by spreading her legs so yeah she's uh just just started a fucking moon attack. Dude, something else this made me think of, which made me feel dumb because I'd never thought of it before. This is the first time I really thought about the fact that, like, these people both, like, hate on the left for trying to take their cheeseburgers away and being all insufferable and vegan because we refuse to eat.

We feel so bad for the little baby chickens. We won't eat them, and that's what the world's coming. We're all, we're such huge pussies that we won't even eat a fish because it has feelings and they're tired. of it and at the same time we eat babies, we drink baby blood and want to institute cannibalism into

American culture and it's like it's just like how you know they think Joe Biden is both like you know this shadow agent threat to democracy or whatever the likes of which the world has never seen but also a totally incompetent papal it's just like Antifa is

the biggest pussies on earth but you know secret agent samurai liberals who are going to take the whole system down like every like it's just none of it makes any goddamn sense but I hadn't thought about this particular dynamic before though like so something I learned research in this is like Idaho apparently is the only state in America that has a law on the books against cannibalism so we can eat people in California so we should get to it. Like, look, I, you know, if you kill someone to eat them, that's already covered. That's murder. You can't do that, right? But I remember I saw once this story on Reddit, a self-reported story of this guy who, like, for some medical reason, had to have his foot amputated.

And then he cooked and ate his own foot. And look, I don't, not only did he eat it, he made tacos out of his foot and served it. to his friends. They knew it. He didn't spring it on them. They were aware that they were going to eat his foot. And that, look, that ought not be. I don't think you should eat your feet or anybody else's feet. But like something like that, I don't think it, I don't think that should be illegal either. I mean, goddamn, it's his foot. You can eat your feet if you want to. I'm not in favor of it. But coincidentally, I was listening to a podcast about the history of camp wasn't recently. It wasn't like a whole series as an episode. I mean, Yeah, but it was like, there's a, there's a tribe where cannibalism is seen as like a benevolent loving thing. Like when your loved one passes, they can opt, they can make a request for you to eat them so you'll always be a part of them. And that people do that. So it's just like, it's also like, a fun thing I learned is apparently Christopher Columbus lied and said a bunch of tribes were cannibal, cannibals, so people back home would be cooler with him and slavery them. So, yeah.

Yeah. That all checks out. Our first honorable mention for Daily Domass says people walk around thinking they could be from somewhere else in the, middle of uh of time square only one americans in time square y'all as much as the most popular tourist destination the planet million by 500 that's a hundred and six thousand dollar debit card not a bad deal i don't think they're giving them to to vets that are homeless in new york city not that i've heard curtis well in fact all guys have just taken down one of the migrant guys right here on the corner of 42nd and 7th while all this is you can you

pan the camera? They've taken over. They've taken over. He'd light the camera over there for at all possible. Yep. All right. You can cut it, Matt. So what you're seeing there is that's Curtis Leewa that Sean Hannity's interviewing. He's the founder and head of the Guardian Angels for like 40 years, 45 years. And the camera panned over to show other Guardian Angels, confronting an unidentified man, pushing him down at the sidewalk and putting him in a headlock, while claiming he's a migrant who's taking over. Tell me, make it a not problems. Foreigners are taking over to New York City trade.

Right. What about fucking Ellis Island? Right. I think about it all the time. It's like everybody fucking there was or their papal was a migrant or something. You know what I mean? Like famously. Like that dude, that walking fucking spaghetti man right there.

Like if he could go back and witness what his great grandpa or whoever first came over off the boat, you know what I mean? Like his grandpa got done like this probably. People assaulted him on the street. I go back to where you came from, you dirty piece of shit. And that's the only reason this guy is here now, especially in fucking New York City of all places. And like you said, and this dude, he's from the Bronx, right?

This dude, they're assaulting. He's from the Bronx. He's not a migrant. He's just a brown guy. The guy was born in the Bronx. He's from the Bronx. And they beat him up for talking in Spanish. There's a bunch of bullshit going on here.

But like, I just can't believe we're listening to people to give like, opinions that sound like they're out of the mouth of Bill the Butcher from the movie Games of New York who's a nativist asshole in 1863 or whenever. Right. Anyway, so like, you're not familiar with the Guardian Angels. Slewa started them in the 70s to like, you know, be vigilantes on the subway back when New York really was crime-written. The people were doing pickpockening and mugging and shit on the subway.

In the old days, they had all learned karate and the procedure for citizens' arrest. But then in 1992, Slee would admit that he made up, made up, bunch of a bunch of stuff, including a lot of, like, they faked heroic subway rescues for publicity. He also admitted to having claimed falsely the three off-duty transit police officers that kidnapped him for some reasons. The guy is just totally full of shit. And now he's just been empowered to, like, beat up people for speaking Spanish in fucking New York City to the point where after this happened, they assaulted this guy just for walking by. NYPD showed up and gave the guy, they beat up a ticket for a disorderly conduct, for acting at a last

and threatening manner in a public sidewalk after he'd just been jumped by five guys who NYPD won't say if they gave them any sort of summons or arrest. So, yeah, whatever. Right. It's like the owners of that gay bar in St. Louis or whatever who got mad when the cops drove through the side of their building and they got arrested for, like, harassing the police or whatever, assaulting police officers because they were like, why'd you do that?

Yeah, same thing. Same thing happened here. Yeah. Ah, existence is a nightmare. Speaking of which, let's get into it. Like we said up top, you guys may or may not have heard. Turns out Joe Biden is old and people are not happy about it. This comes up all the time, despite him always being the same age every day.

Well, older by one day. Yeah, yeah. Older by one day. Yeah, right. But still, it's like it's news every single day somehow. But this time it's because of a some kind of report came out, right? Right. There is a same.

it's not like this isn't like an issue worth talking about. There's the same way to talk about it. There's an insane way to talk about it. You don't need to be at the beck and call of bad faith actors you can lead you around by your dick. And let me tell you what I'm talking about. So last week, late last week, the special counsel was in charge investigating Joe Biden having some toxic documents in his garage or wherever in his house

mixed in with the stuff he was using for his memoirs and gave a ghostwriter access to. Trying to figure out if he should get the same charges that Trump got and basically put out a 315 page report saying, nah, he didn't do nothing. all right but in that 315 page report he says that when he sat with biden for a three five and a half hour interview the day after october seventh happened that he he seemed to have some memory lapses now the people that have read the transcript of it say that he was asking misleading confusing questions that nobody really could have followed but let's forget that for a second this 315 page report which i guarantee you very few people i fucking read in the executive summary of it you know the top line front page of it he included the mental acuity stuff and saying that basically even if they thought the offenses were chargeable, which they are not, in front of a jury, a jury probably think he's a kindly old man who made a mistake and also couldn't be held liable because he probably just forgot he had them because his brain don't work good.

All right. It's important to note here that this guy has had a decent reputation as a lawyer up until this point. This isn't professional. This isn't like a professional, normal thing to do. It feels like he's auditioning for a spot in the Trump Justice Department. If he gets reelected, the guy's name is Robert Hur. and then Joe Biden called impromptu press conference

I think Friday afternoon or Thursday whatever it was to talk about how pissed you off it was about this because one of the things that her said was that he forgot when his son died of cancer and that infuriated him he gave an hour long press conference during which he was reached out by the White House

Press Corps who were totally useless except for transcriptionists and then at the end of it he fucked up by confusing the president of Egypt Endel Assisi was president of Mexico, which is like, okay, that's a mistake. And I listen to a lot of Biden speeches, and it's not that he doesn't have flubs or mistakes or like wander off and ways are a little bit alarming, but like you talk, that's at the end

of talking for like 55 minutes or something. And for Republicans, the Republican base to pretend that they care deeply about the difference between Mexico and Egypt, when to them it's just Mexican. and like, you know. San Mexicans. Yeah. And pyramid Mexicans. It's like, it's just like, it's so weird to me the way this has talked about because

like it's not like, look, I'm not going to sit here and pretend that you go watch Joe Biden in like congressional hearings in the 90s. It's the same as listening to him to and talk now. But it's also feels like 90% of time, 95% of time, 90% of the time, 90% of the time, whatever, he seems totally fine. And I don't really know, like he had a pretty alarming moment at like a like a, like a, a, giving a speech at a distilled at like a like a brewery and i can't say that word brewery because i'm old i'm like i one reason i'm not going to stay in here and say that your brain does

your works is great when you get older is i'm our i my recall isn't as fast as it was right um the degree to which recall matters we could have a serious conversation as a country about what the role the president actually is and what it means or we can just do this kind of shit all day every day and dunk on each other it dunk on both candidates brains not being perfect because they're fucking not right but like like there's layers to this is the reality and there's the discourse around it the reality of it is all the stuff I just said that candidates are old being old means you're progressing towards dying your body gradually shutting down passes page of 27 right uh and uh and

we'll never know like we're unless all 300 million of us get to go personally in a room with joe bad and play nintendo with him for an hour or down into a contest to draw a clock we're just not going to fucking know. Right. So, and personally for me, it doesn't bother me too much because I'm not naive enough to think you're voting for an individual person to do a job that's being done by 40,000 people across the federal government. You're like coalition government, right? I mean, that's what, that's like that, I feel like this, because people keep bringing up how old he is, this has been brought up on this show so many times and I just keep saying the same thing every time. I don't get what people don't get about.

Look, don't get me wrong. Yeah, he's old. No, I'm not thrilled with that. Yes, I would prefer to have a president who doesn't have to have one of those little plastic dividers to separate his Monday pills from his Thursday pills, right? And also a whole staff of nurses to dictate that for him, right? Like, I don't, of course I would prefer that. But like, it just ain't the situation right now. The situation is there's an election in November. there's two candidates, just fucking two. One of them is going to be the president after that election. One of them is old and slips up sometimes in his old pap onus. The other one is old is old and slips up sometimes in his old paponness, while also being a raging megalomaniac who is openly threatened to throw all of our allies to the Russian wolves and undermine democracy at his first opportunity in addition to 91

felonies and civil rape and so many other things I can't even outline right now. And so I don't know how when you're doing that equation, you're weighing that out. You're like, right, but that first guy, he's like more old, though. So that's my problem with it. I just, I don't get it. I don't understand what the fuck we're talking about. We all know he's old. We all get it.

Like, it doesn't change anything. It doesn't. Like, I think even past the election, he gets elected. He's in office and he does a bunch old pap all shit. Liberals don't like what he's doing. People on left don't like what he's doing. Fucking call him to task for it. Whatever, we should criticize these people.

We should. But when you're talking about an election year and that's the specific context, and you're going after the Democratic candidate when the opponent is Donald Trump, for this reason, when he's just as bad, like, I just don't, I just don't fucking get it, man. I don't, I don't, I don't, like, like, I'm not, I don't consider myself part of any sort of organized PR, where are we? Like, I don't, I don't feel the need to, like, def, like, telling people to not complain about, or worry about Joe Biden's age is not really, I don't, I don't, I don't feel like doing that. But, like, so, like, like, what I talk about, like, well, it doesn't concern me as much if I feel like you're electing 40,000 people. That's the scary thing about Trump is, like, Trump, we didn't Trump, Trump, Trump, would be worse than.

Trump won is like the 40,000 people that he brought with him in 2016, 70% of them were pretty sane. Right. They've already built up. That's what Project 2025 is. It's the whole thing. You can look it up. It exists. Google Project 2025. That's yeah. Right. Mark said, you're electing 40,000 people. They have a plan for that in Trump world. They're going to make sure that the 40,000 people they bring with them are the craziest true believe in motherfuckers in this country. And it's a serious problem. That's what like, I've said, this before, too, but like I used to, I worked for the federal government. I worked for the DOE. That gave me a little bit of solace when Trump got elected because I knew I was like, well,

but the actual, like, the actual cogs in the machine and stuff that turn it and do all this stuff. It's the same people. They've been doing it for years and years. It's not, they all ain't Trump. They'll keep the trains running on time, largely, whatever. But like, they're actively working to make sure that's not the case anymore. in the next. This election is fucking different. I know we've said that for the past three at least, but this one is, it is, it's different. This election is different, man.

Like, and I just don't know how this helps anything. Right. It doesn't, but we're here to commiserate and talk about it. So like, I'm not going to tell anybody to show them. You know, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, the problem, like, so, right, the 20, like, he was just in office for four years. And he'd already figured out, like, Velociraptors trying the doorknobs to

the point where January 6th, kind of came close to working. Right. He installed up sick of fans, the Department of Defense and shit. So like, like that's day one now. So like,

exactly. Just know where you're at. But so. The last time, sorry, I'll stop interrupting you a second. But like I made a joke about Joe Biden, Joe Biden being old this past weekend in St.

Louis, right? Like I, like joking about it, pointing out he's a pap, I don't have a problem with any of that. It's when people frame it as like, again, people ostensibly on the left framing is like really we're supposed to vote for this guy it's

like yeah I'm sorry but you are yes you are like I don't know what else to tell you you know that's yeah I'm saying yeah people want to be personally inspired I guess and they don't feel inspired but like my thing is like I just want my niece to have rights right so uh like I read a thing from a guy who was in the Air Force um who was talking about how like you He knows everything's not great, but it's better and it could be worse. And he was talking about how, like, he got kicked out of the Air Force, not back during Don't Ask, Don't Tell, not for being gay, but because the higher-ups heard he had friends that were gay. And he wouldn't rat them out.

So he lost his, like, pension and his career and got disarling to be discharged for knowing people that were gay, and not snitching on them, putting them on a list. Right. And that's not our present reality. And that's better. And I don't want to go back to that. So that's a long short of it. so as far as how people get the information that's that's enough of talking about how

the actual reality of it here because we like I say we'll never know but so the problem here is the news and the has two big problems the news and the sub news and the sub news I'm talking about like the rumor mill the blogs social media it's that's a lot of a lot of people get their information and but a lot of people it still starts off a lot in the news all right and the thing is covering me about the the the mainstream news coverage of the is like everything is so meta now. It's from a 10,000 foot view from nowhere where you see like in the news you did, like the first day story is what happened.

Second day story is people commenting on what happened. The third day story is the fallout and what the ramifications are going to be. And now we just sort of skip straight to a fourth day story where on the on the first day, you'll get news analysis pieces with no sources. Right. Having, we're supposed to be straight news reporters rambling about their hypotheses about how voters they imagine in their head are going to take this information. And that's how people get that.

It's like we're in Plato's Shadow Cave trying to decipher actual world events and what actually matters here by seeing reflections of it. Like if you just read the New York Times, you wouldn't see the special counsel's report and people's takes on it. You would, the front page story is how this is a political problem for Joe Biden. We don't get the medical problem story. We skip straight to the political problem story. Right.

It's very strange. Yeah, it's kind of, it's like how like sports, sports journalism works where it's like one thing happens and everyone responds to that and it shapes what the entire discourse about all of that is at that moment. Do you know what I mean? Like one quarterback has one really good game and now of a sudden he hits when last week he sucked and that type of thing. And like you expect that in sports world to be reactionary. But now it's the case in like actual news and journalism and stuff. Like everybody's got to be like of the moment and part of it and they just give these like, you know they just throw out their takes and shit along with the actual news and there's

it's hard to you know distinguish the two and uh yeah it's a fucking problem you would even like like sports coverage is even better he's dumber but it's even better than this because you would not learn find out who won or lost the super bowl by having by saying that Kyle shanahan's performance in the super bowl raises questions about him being a joker that's like just tell me the score motherfucker yep yeah so like like let me read your this headline forget the one man has on the screen all right Trump's threat to NATO gives Biden a boost. It takes attention away from questions about age.

No, motherfucker. Trump's threat to NATO threatens life on earth. Right. Joe Biden's job prospects are not the main thing about this. Like, it's like the threat is World War III. Whether or not improves Joe Biden's electoral chances on the margins is not the main fucking thing. And like, it should be a factor in how people consider their votes, but you've got to make

them aware, like that headline, I just read to you, doesn't tell you why pulling out of NATO would be bad or horrific. Right. It doesn't say. Right. So our politics is just like pro wrestling now and has been for a while. You know what I mean? It's just like narratives and teams and drama and that's all that matters and there's like none of it is real.

And it's like no, the shit is real. Like you just say like those alliances matter. Like giving up on those things matter. Telling our allies in Europe we're going to fucking throw you to the wolves, that shit matters. You know, like people. But yeah, you just treat it as like, yeah, well, this leads to a little bit of a bump in Biden's polling numbers. We'll see how Trump rebounds next week on fucking American catastrophe. Yeah.

This is like everybody involved is being deeply insurious. Now, we get to like, it's just, it's so, like, okay, let me read, let me read this to you. Okay, this is from the headline Matt has on the screen, why the age issue is hurting Biden so much more than Trump. And I wish I had some, like, some slow jam betting music right now. because I want to read this like a like a like a like a like a like a like a like a late night radio show remember those from back when we were kids mr trump by contrast does not appear to be suffering the effects of time in such visible ways mr trump often dyes his hair and appears unnaturally tan he has heavy satin tall which used and uses his physicality to project strength in from crowds when he takes the stage of rallies he basks in adulation for several minutes dancing to an opening song and then holds forth in speeches replete with macho rhetoric and bombings baths that typically last well over an hour a display of stamina i need a cigarette after that tray yeah absolutely yeah it's like that's this is in time by brian mcnott right that's this is straight news reporting right there's no source there there's nothing real and then this woman goes

on to quote from a coach on leadership presence who re who she found to confirm her thesis that trump just seems like a tough guy there for young all right he makes at least as many mistakes as Biden, but because he does it with this bravado, it doesn't seem like senility. It seems like passion. All right? Here's some Trump doing some bravado, some very macho bravado with his brain working normally right here at a rally like two days ago. They rush into the store and they walk out with television sets. And I mean, I saw one the other day walking out with the refrigerator. He's got this massive. I said, he's a pretty strong guy, right? Can you believe? And the no, I don't believe you. I don't believe you were in a store. I don't believe someone shoplifted

a fucking refrigerator, and I don't understand the place where we have to pretend to believe that you saw this or heard about it in some fashion. That's just fucking lunacy. Mark, I don't know. Have you never seen the 90s classic little giants wherein the character of a spike hauls a refrigerator on his

back out of a moving truck to demonstrate his strength and aptitude for inclusion on the football team? I guess maybe you didn't say that. But anyway, I did see a viral video. A show is we're going to recently like a clip show kind of thing where it was like a a guy was narrating watching a guy

pick up a refrigerator and bounce him on his backway rode off on a bicycle and the guy was narrating as an ad for a crack ad moving service and I was like maybe Trump saw that I don't know but it's not that this story story shouldn't cover the president being accused by a supposedly ravenable lawyer of not having 100% mental acuity is a story but the way you do this if you were as an actual journalist trying to figure out how to present useful information to people

You would interview like neurologist talking about how explaining how the brain ages and whether or not stuff like verbal gaffs is a sign of deeper mental problems or not. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But I would talk to an expert about it. You would talk to an actuary, you talk to projecting Biden's health prospects being like a white guy 81 years old who's a vegan who buys a bike or whatever. You would talk to people who worked in the White House about what the president's day-to-day life is like and how an aging brain might affect his schedule or his capacity to do the job.

that's how you would do it it wouldn't be talking about how Trump has bravado and project strength by rambling like a lunatic for a fucking hour no yeah also I'm sorry oh it's bravado or whatever

I as far as I'm concerned it's him being too dumb to give a fuck about something like that do you know what I mean like me like we've had slips of the tongue on here it happens all the time

I do it all the time and when I do I'm like I fucking fuck that up right that don't that don't happen and Trump says he don't think oh fuck i fuck that up so he just keeps right on motoring dude it's like he's too dumb to have shame that's what it is it's not bravado it's not machismo or nothing and also like fucking people talk about you know trump but they talk about how like trump somehow doesn't seem

to have aged or like i don't know they talk about you look at trump it's like he's been around forever it's like he looks the same he don't look much worry he doesn't look like he's getting older. Joe Biden looks old and this type of stuff. It's like, that's because he don't give a fuck about the things that age a human person with compassion

and shit who has this job. It's a famous thing. Every president who has this job gets aged tremendously by it. Look at Obama when he came in and when he left. That's because it weighs on you. The burden of this position

weighs a non-sociopathic person down. It does. But Trump don't feel none of that. He don't feel those burdens. He don't care about none of that shit. Plus, he's covered in fucking two inches of spray tan every goddamn day

and mountains of hair spraying shit in his hair. That too. So like, it's just, it's all just such bullshit, man. I bet my life he's had a shit to our plastic surgery. Although Joe Biden's also had hair plugs and I bet you he's gotten Botox and shit too, because they all know they're in show business, right? Right. So not for nothing going back to the special

counsel like he's getting criticism from like you conservatives for being this unprofessional and weird this guy judge litig he's a former federal judge who's also never trumps you can take that into account but he was talking about how like the special counties or comments were unseemly and abuse of power and like also merrick garland fucked up here he didn't have to let this report go out this way they could have been like this is not good lawyering this is not how we do business the department of justice you like we're not going to censor your report we're not going to put it in a drawer, but you can't use our stationery to do your fucking blog post, all right? Let it call the special counsel's comments.

I already ever said that. Sorry. There's Mark Levin on Fox News, if you have this video, Matt, because this is like, Levin's like, he was like a dissentist guy, so he's, he's, his feelings are hurt, but still, this is like interesting to see on Fox News. Direct interactions with and observations of him. He's someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. who writes a report like this?

Is this guy a psychiatrist? Right. He's a prosecutor. So not for nothing here. Like I do want to say like, when I talk about my experiences, I think local news reporters are fucking heroes. All right?

I think people that go to school war meetings and our adversarial police departments are the backbone of a matter of democracy, letting people know. Shout out to our boy, Phil in Nashville at News Channel five, baby. Keep it real. End up being stenographers in the White House press corps are the weirdest people.

They go to private schools in D.C. And they dream of being in this world. And Trump made them a bunch of money. They were the face of cable news for a long time. And I found this article from 2021 written by Julia Offe for Puck News. She interviewed a bunch of White House reporters. Let me read some quotes from you. The mechanics of reporting have changed so much.

It was just this really aberrant period in which you could almost guarantee that you could find out what's going on in this situation room. Now you can't disenfuriating. Another person, it wasn't just the fact that Trump was a gravy train. You go from a circus with flaming chainsaw as to what?

An old man watching his dog. I loved covering Trump. It was a great and fascinating story. They're not getting book deals no more. They need scandals. They're bored. I'm saying all this shit they say, it's like, that's what I like.

That's what I want. They're talking about it's like, oh, this shit's boring. with Trump it was something every day like it was always juicy and dramatic it was like the fucking real housewives of Pennsylvania Avenue or something every day with Trump in office and now

it's just boring old regular politics stuff and it's like that's good that's what it should be like that's what politics should be like we don't need drama in our fucking politics man it's crazy all right so that's what the news is up to

and by the way it's not like it's a tough time the media business. I know they want to keep their jobs. I get it. But it's like Biden's been bad for clicks. He's bad for ratings. And he's bad for book deals because the people he hired just show up for work and do their jobs and go to their fuck home and don't do any shit any weird crazy shit. I'm sorry for them. I'm sorry the news is boring. But again, it makes the rest of us more able to sleep at night. So I's talking about the sub news right now. He's a lot of people get their stuff from like TikTok and stuff. And like if you just clip out the moments where Biden does seem confused or does a verbal gaffe, you don't get the full presence.

He does speeches all the time. You can go watch them and form your own opinions. But like some people are just seeing this. Here's a clip of Joe Biden talking about Snickers bars that was passed around right-wing social media like it was like it was a senior moment. If you have this, man. Greedflation. Shrinkflation. You see that article about the Snickers bars?

Well, it's going to stop. Okay, Mark, so I don't know the context of this. Let me ask you, is he talking about how fucking. ostensibly regular-sized snicker bars are actually smaller in volume now, like the bars themselves are shrinking while they charge the same price for it. Because if that's what he's talking about, thank God somebody speaks up. It's fucking bullshit out here. I'm tired of this.

I'm tired of what big candy is doing to us, right? And I'm glad somebody's talking. I'm glad somebody's speaking up about it. That is shrinkflation. So maybe that is factored in. But he was talking about a piece in the New York Times about Snickers prices I'm talking about why the disconnect between the body politic and their emotions about the disconnect between their emotions of the economy and actual economic data. And this piece is making the case that like when economists talk about inflation, they're factoring like big ticket items that people don't buy very often like cars and TVs, for example.

So if a TV, the price drops from $1,500 to $14.50, that's a big drop in price. But people won't notice it because they don't buy TVs very often. But this economist is their reporters theorizing that because people buy Snickers bars really often, a Snicker bar going, Snickers bar going from a dollar to like $1.15, pisses them the fuck off, right? So, like, that was a theory so the piece. You'd agree with it or disagree with it. But I'm saying, like, it wasn't like he was just rambling about Snickers bars. He's talking about, like, greedflation, shrinkflation, and how people can't, like, people can't really connect with what's going on in the economy because, like, they focus on stuff, like, the price of a small ticket item.

I feel like I've brought this up so many goddamn times on the show. When we've talked about Biden's economic record and stuff, I'd say, like, look, I get, I get how people, like, in their day-to-day lives, the shit they pay for every day, it's more expensive than it used to be. And so they're like, this is bullshit. Like, I don't give a fuck what the stock market's doing. This is taking more money out of my pocket. So, I mean, yeah, I think it's a real thing. Like, you know, that's what people deal with daily is what they're going to, you know, that's what they're, you know. that's what their perception of reality

is going to be based around. You know what I mean? And the goddamn Snickers bars are too small, Mark. Anyway, go ahead. So the bad news for Joe Biden is people like sharing shit like this, even if they know it's fake.

This is a study that came out recently about media literacy, and it's both hardening and disheartening. It's heartening because people have better media literacy than you think. It's disheartening because even if they know something's fake, they're more likely to share it because it gets better engagement.

Basically, let me go here, we found that accuracy was not a significant predictor of news sharing whether using lay peoples or journalist ratings. In fact, accuracy was negative associated with sharing. Basically, people know what good journalism is like, but they prefer sharing bullshit on social media anyway because everyone's internalized what plays well on platforms. So basically our brains have been hacked by the algorithm

to seek engagement. Well, we share bullshit. Well, let me ask you this. You may not know, but hypothetically, if I saw something like that and I shared it and I quote tweeted it and made fun of it, that would still count of sharing it, right? Right.

You know what I'm saying? Well, that, you know, I feel like that skews it a little bit. If you share something to shit on it, maybe they don't care because they get shares either way, but I don't know. I feel like that shit makes some kind of difference. Well,

there's some of regular people on Facebook and stuff, and that's what really bugs me about this. I don't have the heart to, like, to like, be a flack, but like everyone's a fucking flat right now. We're all working comms and we're doing it for free. People are pushing this stuff out there because they feel a part of a political,

tribe, whether or not it's based in reality or not. And that's the part that bugs me. But the thing for the Biden campaign or the DNC or whatever is like this is like golf, you've got to play it as it lies. And this is what the world's like right now. But like one of the things it bugs me about like these sort of narratives about like talking about the relative merit to the intellectual ability of the two candidates at their heightened ages is it makes it about.

the two guys right like over a country of 330 million people it's not it's not about them it's about us like I remember like a lot of people talking about the 2016 election like it happened to Hillary but it didn't happen to Hillary it happened to Hillary it happened to everybody it happened to all the women who've had been forced to carry pregnancy as a term because of roby way was overturned it happened all the people who fucking died to COVID it happened to troops that died to more dangerous world because Trump like wasn't paying attention let the DOD ships like delta force like west Africa to get in gun fights with a bunch of like random tribes of nobody's. It happened to the people of Hawaii. Remember when they were cowering in

their basements? They thought nuclear bombs were incoming because Trump was beefing with Kim Jong-un and an alert went off and they were kissing their for families goodbye as they thought they're about to fucking die in a nuclear hellfire. That's who it happened to. If Joe Biden loses, it's not happening to Biden. It's like he can go off and live a nice life unless Trump throws him in jail. Right. Talk about what's going to happen to the rest of us, right? So Trump's announced plans to deport millions. of people from the U.S. We're talking about from the border.

We're talking about in the interior of the United States. We're talking about like building up a force of ice agents and national guards to go to door to door and drag people out of their houses and separate families and ship them out of the country. When they talk about immigrants undocumented, they're also talking about removing birthright citizenship and kicking people out that are here legally, just removing their legal status. They were also nationalizing red state national guards to ship into blue states to

drag people into can. They're talking about the establishment. camps to hold millions and millions of people. What does that sound like for you? Yeah. Concentration campy. Sounds fat, but not the first time they've had camps. You know what I mean?

Like, like, they seem to like camps. But yeah. And the NATO thing, I haven't really seen any reporter. They talk about why it's a gaffe when Trump, when Trump says, like, talk about his NATO threat and what a horrible, they call it a gaffe. Like, it isn't what he wants to do. Like, he didn't try to do it.

His whole first, whole first term. By the way, the Senate and the House has passed legislation to require a two-thirds majority to leave NATO because they know Trump would try to do it in a second term. That's Republicans doing it too. But none of them explained why it would be bad for us. It's not just the world be more dangerous place. We might get drawn into World War III. Even if we stayed out of it, half our trade is with Europe. So like we're talking about a significant blow to our fucking economy, a bunch of us being unemployed and broke. It's like the people bored of aiding Ukraine by the way

understand all this like if it spirals into a bigger conflict and those two things shipping out immigrants like I hate talking about this stuff and brutal and just cold economic reality because I do think Ukraine should remain free I do think the immigrants should be left

alone and not fucked with same with trans kids and whatever and I just like but like even just talking in cold heart reality if people just don't care about that stuff right like it'll fuck the economy over it'll You have a significantly lower quality of life if Russia invades Europe. And also, if we kick out a bunch of migrants, Obama tried to, like a migrant roundup in 2011, and crops rotted in the field in Alabama.

I remember that. How do you tell people that your racism is going to make it harder for you to buy groceries? You don't say like, it's like, that's part of why there, look, I don't like, I don't just like get on my knees and that and pray to our corporate overlords to save us. but one thing I do think about is like the shit you're talking about like there's a whole lot of super super I think we live in a plutocracy and oligarchy whatever is a whole lot of people making a whole lot of money

right that like I think in their minds they see that their bottom line could be threatened that this they don't want the whole thing to fall apart right which is what could happen if Trump takes over you know like you said like the shit with Europe like so much of our economy is based on Europe and so many people in this country with so much power

making so much money because of our relationship with Europe and I tell myself that in an effort to think like that will encourage them to try to give a fuck about keeping Trump from doing that at the end of the day like people with the real power and the fucking strings and everything don't want it all to go completely to shit because they'll make less money if it does they'd rather us be fat and complacent and you know just content to keep living under their soft rules. or whatever. But here's the thing that's already happened.

The RNC is broke. The state parties are broke. They stop donating. And it's still going to be a close election. Yeah. So like it looks like anyway. It's fucking weird. And Trump's in court, right, in court arguing right now that Joe Biden should be able to have SEAL Team 6 murder him.

And I'm saying maybe you let him win. All right. Well, we're out of time. Sorry, we to get to the comments this week.
