Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews - 2/20/24 – Attack of the Space Russians

Episode Date: February 21, 2024

Skewers, tonight we discuss the bombshell news that Russia is (apparently) developing a space nuke, which is like a nuke, but more future-y. And the silly freak out about it. We talk about it, along with the latest news from the frontlines of the abortion debate (Alabama, natch), Trump’s pumped up kicks, and some serious dumbassery from Trae’s beloved Tennessee. Join us.Support the show

What's up, everybody. Welcome back. Happy Skews Day to you all. It is February 20th, 2024. I'm Trey. That's Mark. How you doing there, Mark? Good, man.

I enjoyed our pre-show talk about our various mental health issues. That was fun. So got a good show today. We're talking about the freak out about the Russian space nuke and what it was based on. And it was basically nothing. The fallout from is deeply funny at what they're actually fighting over is federal surveillance. So we're going to talk about that. Today, Prince William called for an end of the violence in Gaza, and you never really get to say this being from where we're from.

But this inbred unemployed guy is right. It's just like the British monarchy's gone woke, Trey. Biden as an Irish anti-monarchist, probably won't listen to him, but, you know, whatever. Yeah, it's funny because it's like, you know, his mamma and papal and so on, you know, had a hand to play in this whole situation to begin with, you know, but it's like, but there's two ways to look at that. You could look at that as like, oh, so you need to keep your mouth shut or you could be like, well, I mean, I guess you are qualified to talk about it if, you know, you're part of the bloodline that, you know, kick this whole thing off. I guess you have a stake in the thing or whatever. So at least he's saying this and not the opposite. Yeah, Vox.com had a very long piece today that I urge everyone who's interested in this stuff to read.

But basically talking about what a strategic disaster, Israel's war in Gaza's ban is they gear up for ground invasion of the Biden administration is trying to get them to not do. They're not, they say they're trying to get them to not do. But anyway, the estimates are they're going to be 500,000 dead Palestinians within a year from starvation disease. etc if nothing changes and something's got to change here and basically the whole gist is like then the United Administration has no plan what to do when the war ends so they're just going to keep doing war so that's just that's not that's not

that's not that's no way to run a railroad dude so let me ask you like because you know Biden's taking a lot of heat and Biden administration taking a lot of heat for this people calling him genocide Joe and stuff like that like you say like oh they're giving lip service to trying to keep them from doing this but like how much control do they actually have over it if they decided to exercise set control?

Do you know what I mean? Like, is it a situation where they could be like, they could put their foot down and be like, no, stop. And Israel would have to stop outside of like the threat of us starting our own war with them or something or, you know, because Joe Biden's not the president of fucking Israel, you know. Right. Right. Yeah. We could stop sending a weapons for one. But like the weapons we send them mostly like Iron Dome stuff, defensive weapons, they make their own.

a lot of their offensive weapons on their own. So, like, could jump out and make them do? No, but we could, but we could stand with the rest of the international community trying to call them to stop, wait. Instead, like, like, the last couple days, it might have been today. The Biden administration vetoed a UN resolution calling for a Gaza ceasefire, but instead wanted to pass a six-week pause, which I'm just like, just like, just call for, just, just call for just.

How is that different? Right, right, right. Right. Just like, just stand with the rest of the world and be like, this don't hit, cut it out. so the uh this will be close to your heart this is your home state of tennessee a new bill could ban the sale of refrigerated cold beer in tennessee i thought this was america mark god damn it what kind of big government bullshit is this a grown taxpayer red-blooded man can't even buy a cold six pack of beer if he wants to after work what the fuck are we doing here

yeah the idea like this is like this is fascinating to be we'll get to the politics of the second Because this is, like, Red State Republicans doing this, obviously, because it's Tennessee. But so the idea is to, like, get drunk driving down. Because I guess if you, if you, you'll have to wait four minutes while you drop your beer in an ice cooler before you drink it. So that way, anyway. But the second part of the bill would also allow customers to only have a certain number of drinks at a bar or restaurant unless you, like, produce a designated driver, which I guess they haven't heard of Uber. The bill was introduced by a couple guys, Representative Ron Grant, Gantz, and Senator Paul Rose. Drunk driving has always been a big issue for Rose.

And Grant was the victim of a drunk driver. driving a crash two years ago. A driver crossed against the medium, hit him head on. He was airlifted and hospitalized for weeks with 14 broken bones. So it's just another example of Republicans noticing an issue when in preference with them personally. This part was funny for me. Ron Grant has been, was at one point named a recipient of the Defender of Limited Government Award by the Institute of Legislative Analysis. So the small government guys, we've got to stop gas stations from having refrigerators.

Yeah. So I'm old enough to remember, like, Virginia, where I'm from, drunk driving was pretty much legal until 1984. And when they outlawed it, it did not hit from my dad and his friends. Of course not. And this was largely seen as liberal nanny state bullshit. Yeah. Now, to be clear, we hear weekly skews are anti-drunk driving.

Of course. Nobody should do, all right? But I just like, this doesn't feel like it's going to do anything even if it passes, except really no it's not yeah this is one of those times where like and it's usually with shit like this where i feel more republican than republicans i guess because again my take on this like i says like isn't ain't this america what happened to fucking personal free what the fuck are we doing here you know it's like you said it's not going to change i know because i was a server and a and a barback and part-time bartender and shit for years you have to get an abc license right and there's

already rules in place for serving drunk people and people and people people just break those rules. And it's like if there's like a hard cap on the number of drinks you can have, which doesn't make any sense, by the way, because the amount of drinks that you can have versus the amount of drinks that my wife can have is vastly different. Right. So,

but even if you do that, you're still going to have regulars and bars and that's just going to get ignored. It's not going to fucking change anything. It is just some nanny state bullshit. And it's like, it always reminds me of, and I know I've told the story before, but it's been a long time.

My old day job, I was at a training exercise. one day. And it was like about laws, state level laws or something, because I work for the federal government. And they were like, a hypothetical scenario, if the state of Tennessee passed a new law that said it was illegal to smoke cigarettes outside, what would be your response to that? And immediately, I put my hand up and I was like, I thought this was America. What the fuck is that supposed to be? I'm an adult, you know, like, and this super conservative Christian lady who I worked with who I actually really liked a lot, but we used to argue about politics all the time.

She was sitting in front of me in the class. And when I said that, I was like, I thought this was America. She turned around and looked at me and she goes, classic liberal. That's what she said. And I was like, no, that's the most conservative shit you've ever heard me say, right? But like, you are a good, a good church going, you don't smoke. That's all this comes down to. You don't smoke.

So you interpret anything that a known liberal says as being liberal bullshit when, really I'm representing your ostensible side of the fence right here because this is bullshit because I've always kind of I'm kind of a like personal accountability responsibility type of person that old that that Mark Twain quote which may not really be Mark Twain like 80% of Mark Twain quotes ain't even from Mark Twain where he said like I think he was talking about censorship but it applies here he was like censorship is telling a grown man he cannot enjoy a steak because a baby is unable to chew it and I buy into that man. you're an adult you live in this country you pay your taxes you have the right to choose whether you fucking drink yourself to death or not and the beer can be cold that don't extend to driving drunk because that affects other people right so i'm obviously very against drunk driving i'm just saying this is some horse shit it's some blue-lawed church state horse shit and i don't like it so what i moved like virginia i didn't even know america thought dry counties because i live in virginia my whole life until I moved to Texas. And then I moved to Texas, they was like, oh, you can't buy,

there's no booze here because it's a dry part of town. I'm like, it's a dry. I'm like, what? I was like, so wait, because religious people run this state, I have to drive 20 minutes to buy liquor, but I can do 85 miles an hour and take a loaded gun when I go. Right. Yeah. It's like, okay, whatever we're doing here. While we're on Tennessee, I believe you wanted to mention Tim Bertet, our old asshole slash returning hero, Republican congressman from Tennessee, is going to get sued because after the Kansas City Super Bowl parade shooting last week, it wasn't just him, but he was one of the main ones. We had a photo of a guy the cops had in handcuffs and said, labeled this guy the shooter

and also said he was a migrant, all right? It was not the shooter. Also, it was not a migrant, if that matters. It's a guy, good old red-blooded America with the name of Denton Ladermil. And he's going to sue, of course, because Bertak could have gotten him fucking killed by lying. And I just want to quote a friend of the show, state rep Gloria Johnson here. Imagine how this could affect your life and danger your family. These folks are so quick to believe anything that confirms their bias that don't even care about trying to be factual.

Thank you, Gloria, for a new log line to the show. That pretty much sums up with everything we do here. And anyway, vote for Gloria. She's running against Marshall Blackburn. she rules Marshall Black Randall. Yeah, it's like there was a, after the Boston Marathon bombing, Reddit was on the case. And they falsely identified someone as being the bomber and, you know, because they're not detectives or federal agents or any of that stuff. They're internet neckbeards.

And it ruined that person's life, you know, because this shit has massive implications. And it's almost like there's, you know, something to the idea of, uh, of due process and actual subject matter experts and things of that nature trying to, you know, decipher the actual root causes of these situations. We shouldn't just kneel before the hive mind, you know, just because it fits your narrative. You get us wait for actual information. Right. Yeah.

But mark everybody's impatient now, you know, it's not, you got to be, you, it, fuck being right. You got to be first, you know, being first is the thing that matters the most. First to establish the narrative for whatever your political tribe is, regardless of any sort of basis and fact or reality. Yeah. Yeah. Facts and reality don't hit. Everybody knows it.

We appreciate. you now as for tonight

got some big breaking news for y'all rushing space nukes that's right if you heard the news duck and cover everybody stop drop and roll they're putting nukes in space sounds like a job for space force to me but anyway how much is there to really worry about here

we'll talk about all that a little later but we got plenty of other stuff to get through in the meantime starting with the daily dumb ass mac graphic please tonight's DD women for thinking they need rights when what they really need is to be treated like troops on an airplane this is Ohio GOP Senate candidate Bernie Marino what changes would you support regarding reproductive rights or abortion as a U.S. senator my daughter just took a flight to go back home to where she lives

you know, mom carrying what looks like an F-1 team worth of equipment, people helped her on that plane. Help put the, the stroller away, helped her with their seat, gave up her seat. Those are the kinds of things that we can do. Let's be a pro-mom, pro-family policy. What changes? Right. So it's been a while since Dodd overturned Roe v. Wade, and they still have no fucking answer.

I mean, they don't want to say what they want to do. But anyway, if you're wondering who Bernie Morano is, car dealership owner who's an American success story in the sense that he's being sued by his former business partner for ripping him off. His son-in-law is a Republican congressman named Max Miller who we talked about before. So maybe his daughter was flying back to D.C. to help Max take away more women's rights. But Bernie's got the Trump endorsement. So I imagine he's got a leg up in this three-way race. We haven't talked of reproductive rights in a while. I just wanted to mention this because a lot of stuff's getting people are bored with it. Like it's old news,

even though it's still driving a lot of voters. Meet the press this weekend. They talked about this story, but NBC News confirmed reports Trump proudly supports a 16-week national abortion ban. And the NPR reporter on that segment said, Trump is acting like a normal politician. He's trying to move to the center on abortion for a general election.

And I'm sorry, but like a national abortion ban that would take away rights from women in 23 states that currently have them is not moving to the center on abortion. Right. Well, that's sort of the whole thing with our political dynamics. in this country right now, right? The Overton window, right? That's what they call it. Like, it's shifting so far to the right, it's insane. Like, there's, like, right-wing parties and stuff in Europe that would qualify as, like, you know, commie leftist horse shit over here. Like,

our standard politically is so far to the right that that counts as being moderate when, of course, it isn't. Right. America is a, governmentally anyway, is a deeply right-wing country. We just don't think of it, though. So, yeah, we don't think of it. that way. But so this other report from this past week, Trump allies prepared to infuse Christian nationalism and second administration. Basically, it's talking about the views, the guys that Trump is put in charge of Project 2025 and what they actually believe.

And by the way, they call themselves Christian nationalists. Their agenda includes overturning same-sex marriage, same-sex marriage, ending abortion, and reducing access to contraceptives, ending sex ed in schools, ending surrogacy, and ending no-fault divorce throughout the country. so basically women will be property and all the gay dudes have to get a woman to get a woman as property also ending sex education in schools like i mean look i'm from the south i know this isn't anything new but it's just such a wild stance to take like they think if if they don't talk about sex and health class to teenagers then fucking hormone-ridden teenagers aren't going to try to figure it out on their own. It's just such a head in the sand approach to the whole thing. It's like everybody knows that the whole abstinence only education thing does not work. Teenagers are going to be teenagers. They go and pork. It's what they do. You should at least try to educate them as

much as possible on the implications, the dangers and consequences of said porking. Seems like a common sense, common sense approach to governance to me, but apparently they don't see it that way. Yeah, but the America, the birth rate's declining, especially the white. American birth rates. You've got to get teen pregnancy rates back up, I guess, is the goal. And like, so this happened on CNN today. So I'm not sure how you're supposed to like run a campaign in this kind of media environment where it's just like people just get on TV and say shit like a national abortion ban is like moving to the center. So, but the Biden administration's plan to fight back against it. And it's outlined pretty hilariously by this reporter. It's a Joe Biden's plan to be more entertaining, I guess, by bankshotting off drunk. Yeah, Brianna, what we've learned is that President Biden himself personally instructed some of his top campaign aides to be even more aggressive in highlighting some of President Trump's more inflammatory and wild comments.

We are told that the thrust of the president's direction was to significantly ramp up the campaign's efforts to highlight the crazy shit that Trump says. All right. So he's got a CNN reporter saying shit on live TV. I mean, how else you're supposed to put it? You know what I mean? It seems like a pretty good call to me. I feel like this is something people have been calling for for a while. Like for a long time, the Biden administration's general position was to like not even acknowledge Trump, right?

Like I didn't even talk about it as much as possible. It's like, no, talk about how crazy all the shit he says. And it's support us and the stuff they want to do because it's so far out there. Like, I don't think the average voter understands how deeply weird these motherfuckers are. Like this, okay, let's talk about this case in L, Alabama. So the Alabama Supreme Court just ruled that frozen embryos are children and cited the Bible in the opinion. Now, these are movement conservatives. There's not some fringe outliers. These guys don't just hop off and make decisions. This is where the national party is moving. All right. So the details of this case are wild. So basically, to get to the point, the case that decided that frozen embryos are legally people in Alabama, a patient next door to this fertility clinic, at like a connected health facility, wandered into the fertility clinic

and where all these embryos were stored and dropped several containers. So this one random patient, Mr. Beaned into a laboratory and dumped a bunch of frozen embryos on the floor and they were destroyed. Three couples whose embryos were destroyed sued the clinic,

but the judge threw out the lawsuit because the embryos are not covered under Alabama's quote wrongful death of a minor act. Now, I think they were due compensation right, obviously, because they paid a bunch of money for in vitro fertilization and the product of that was destroyed and also they're probably due to be compensated for like the paid and suffering of having their treatments be wasted. Absolutely. Right. And this can't have been their intent because what they've effectively done is made in vitro fertilization impossible in the state

of Alabama going. Right. Because I mean, I'm science dumb as hell. But like if you are a candidate for IVF, you need IVF, you like produce a number of embryos, right? Like not just one, it's not a one shot thing. And so obviously you're not going to use all of them. And so in the state of Alabama's opinion, now all those other embryos in the process, you know, they count as real life human beings. So you'd be murdering all those if you didn't carry all of them to term. And the only the only possible approach to that is to just. not have the process be legal at all.

So there's going to be a lot of, you know, good, God-fearing Alabamaians who just have fertility problems, who won't desperately to have a nice Christian nuclear family who are not going to be able to do that because of this. Right. So, like, the, I saw a number, like, again, this is the pro-life, this is essentially the pro-life position is that a bunch of people can't have, it shouldn't be allowed to have kids if they need scientific help with it. one estimate of sidingbell is the number of this high even though I know a bunch of people who've had fertility treatments to have kids

but as number I read like there's one place but said 15% of people need fertility treatments to help having kids that's that's that's that's significant that's one in six couples yeah need some help now well people are waiting longer and longer to have kids for economic reasons because like you're just not in a position to do it when you're fucking 22 anymore generally speaking right lifestyle reasons just because they want to yeah Society works and like, but the biological truth of the matter is when you do that, when you get into your 30s and whatnot, it becomes harder, oftentimes significantly harder to conceive. And so at least more and more people needing to, you know, employ these types of mechanisms, which is fine. It should be fine, but, you know, according to Alabama, I guess. All right. And right way media is doing nonstop stories about the drop in male sperm count. And like, presumably the men of Alabama have the same low sperm count. counts from, like, tight underwear and the chemicals in the water turn their frogs gay that the rest of us do. But I don't really understand what they think.

Like, this is just deeply fucking silly, irresponsible people in charge of anything. And I want to read here from the chief of the chief justice's concurrence. In summary, the theological-based view of the sanctity of life adopted by the people of Alabama encompasses the following. God made every person in his image. It's the chief justice of the Supreme Court. Each person, therefore, has a value that far exceeds the ability of humans to calculate and three human life cannot wrongfully be destroyed

without incurring the wrath of a holy God who views the destruction of his image as an affront to himself. Yeah, so remember this is the family fathers who like, you know, came up with the idea of separation in church and state would love for a state Supreme Court to be invoking the glory of holy God or whatever in their opinions.

Yeah, wow. But every life being in the image of God, It reminded we did a whole episode about this bonus episode a week's ago about the death pony in Alabama, but it's the state that just began the first jurisdiction in history to execute someone via nitrogen hypoxia, where it took 22 minutes for this guy and choked to death. And he's saying human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurred the wrath of a holy god. So, but downstream from this, like talking about how they don't understand the implications of their own decisions and their own words, if every frozen embryo has the same rights as a child, doesn't that mean that the embryos that don't get in people?

planted have a right to be implanted and if so where do you find those uteruses are you going to draft to find surrogates because they're also trying to outlaw surrogacy like if you if you go get IVF and it makes 10 embryos they plant three the first go one of them takes you got seven left you have to have seven more fucking children you know like what that like this is just this is yeah insane uh and if you need more evidence for what these freaks actually want a new abortion Bill in Oklahoma would also restrict contraceptives, IUDs, and create a statewide abortion database. They want to put women on a list who've gotten abortions. It's also they're going to put a lot of contraceptives.

They're currently available over the counter to needing physician approval. And they seem to think that IUD, these people hate IUDs for reasons I can't even really get to the bottom of. They seem to think that IUDs cause abortions, which doesn't make any sort of sense. Well, isn't their whole thing? I mean, the hardcore fundamentalist, isn't their whole thing that like, sex is only supposed to result in procreation. Like, if you're not having sex with the,

with the intended result of having a baby, then it's a sin or something, even if you're married. Like, you don't believe in the birth control period. I mean, I dated a girl in high school was like a hardcore old style Catholic, and they didn't,

you know, they didn't get birth control. And that's the reason why, right? Like, you got to, right. You ain't ready to have a baby.

You can't be banging. Sure. But like IUDs and birth control, like I used to do this joke. in my act, but like, like, it's like, even calling it birth control, sort of proof that a man named it because it does so much other stuff, like reducing the risk of breast cancer and making your cycle more, more regular and less, like, it's like, oh, but you're, but you're saying the main thing is we don't have to pull out, right? That's the main. That's the main thing. Yeah. It is pretty sweet. I can't imagine like going to bat for, you know, opposing that. You know what I mean? It's like these Christian conservatives want to outlaw, outlaw porn and stuff. Like, there's got to be some redneck old boys who. love Trump, who still hear this stuff, and they're like, hold on, but if I was raining it in a few notches, God damn. They're taking away your cold beer.

They're taking away your unprotected sex. Yeah. Right. Liberals want you to have cold beer and unprotected sex. That's our whole thing. Point out of a bumper sticker. Come on over to the dark side. All right.

Our honorable mention for Daily Dumbass is Joe Biden for not rolling out his own line of Reebok pumps. I don't know if y'all have seen this, but. exciting news from Trump world. I can seriously see those, but nobody merchandises like Donald Trump does. There is nobody who can move merch like Donald Trump. I've never seen any Joe Biden merchandise anywhere. Nikki Haley has tried it.

She has failed. Donald Trump knows what he's doing. And if we want to talk about connecting with young people, maybe not the worst idea in the world. Right. Connected with the young people with the ugliest fucking sneak. I actually go back and forth and where these are hideous or not. Like if they weren't Trump affiliated, I saw somebody who wasn't me wearing it on me, like, oh, it was a fucking sweet, right?

But they are Trump-affiliated. Matt, if you can pull up the still image, I want people to get a close look at this sneaker for I tell you how much they fucking cost because it's insane. These are the never-surrender hot tops and they're, Trump was selling them for $399. I will give them this, though. They were better than Kobe's last Adidas shoe.

Have you already remember this track in 2001? That is the space or the Tesla truck. What's it? Cyber truck. That's the Cybertruck. of sneakers right there that's fairly unfortunate

so Trump went to sneaker con in Philadelphia to roll this out and I have no idea why he thought going like the kind of people would go to sneaker conventions are like younger

hip their hype hype beasts yeah they're not really into like the hype geese are going to love Donald Trump I don't think so

some people did cheer but over and all this is what the general reaction sounded like if you have this video Matt wow a lot of emotion there's a lot of

of motion in this room. Thank you. Thank you. All right. You've got to do. So let me quote here from a Philadelphia author by the name of Kim Kelly. I don't know why he thought this would go well for him. Philadelphians would literally boo God. I mean, to be fair, that is not untrue. You know, you're Dallas Cowboys fans. You know, you know. The Philly, they will boo, they famously threw batteries at Santa Claus and stuff. They, they wild up there. I know the Eagles season didn't end well this year, but they were booing them at halftime for being down a touchdown when they were 10 and 1.

Jesus Christ, what do you people want? So as far as the actual sneakers, there are 1,000 pairs. They're going to make a thousand pairs total and they sold out. So that means he's sold, you know, made $400,000 back or the company selling his shoes did a $350 million judgment against week. 10 of these were autographed. As a Monday morning, more than 30 pairs are listed on eBay for thousands of dollars. At least 50 pairs of appeared

have already been sold on eBay, that there's no way to know if all the sales are authentic. And there's also knockoffs. There's a similar pair of hot tops list on Tmu for $18 right now. On Reddit, some users suggested to be easy to manipulate the pair to look like trumps. It's also like the Lubeaton angle here

where I guess Lvitton owns like the trademark is having a red sole in the sneaker for a shoe that isn't red. like you just get that so there's so many layers of scam here that it's hard to tease out yeah i feel like i mean i guess like a mccanini or whatever said if they're trying to like connect with the youth or whatever through these i guess that makes it make some sense but i feel like if you're talking about just making money they'd do way better to have like trump branded orthopedic inserts or something like that you know what i mean as opposed to these like

hype beast high tops they've got just seems like the wrong demographic makes them pap friendly shoes, dude, no rake it in. You know what I mean? It's always this and NFTs and stuff. Like, are you trying to make money or not, you know? And also what she said about like, I don't know any Biden merch. It's like we've talked about before with yard signs and bumper stickers and shit like that. It's just like people, people are going to vote for Biden generally, by and large,

are just nowhere near as cultish as they are. It's not about that. It's not a, you know, it's not a pro wrestling storyline or whatever. Right. This is the guy I hope will keep us from the brink. That's all. It doesn't mean that I'm like, you know, tattooing his face on my ass or whatnot. But that's how that's just kind of a fundamental difference between the two.

So no wonder Trump outsells everybody in merch. It's not at all surprising. Right. Like if you see me with a political bumper sticker on my car, I'm in the middle of driving to park on some train tracks and end it all. It's not really what I'm going to. So the company making the sneakers is called 45 footwear LLC. And they paid Trump's Corp, which is CIC Ventures, which I'm assuming as Commander and Chief Ventures, a licensing fee.

So Trump's not involved with the making or design of the sneaker at all. 45 footwear LLC is based in Sheridan, Wyoming at a rundown storefront and a shopping mall beside a chiropractor and a Sherwin-Williams. And the LLC that established its existence on January 31st. So just three weeks ago, this company began existing and now they're pumping out sneakers. And not for nothing. When we talked about, did our episodes about the Panama Papers. We've noted this,

but Wyoming has become a center of a lot of global money laundering because of their loose standards for setting up LLCs. Basically what you do is you just have some American be your quote unquote registered agent. And they just, like,

they're the face of your company in America and they might not even know who runs the actual company. They interviewed one woman in this story who's like literally the registered agent for like 400 different companies. It just collects a check from them for being a woman in Wyoming.

So I don't know who actually owns 45 footwear. I don't know if anyone else does or if Trump even knows. But it's going to be hilarious if this is a front for like ISIS or a Khmer Rouge 2 or some shit. Right. And Trump's like helping them launder money. Also like it's not clear how many of these pairs of shoes actually existed. Some people did leave sneaker con with them, the autograph pairs. But if you click on the link and look through the fine print, it says their shoes won't ship for another five months because they haven't been made yet.

When Trump claimed he's sold out, he's lying. There's no stock to sell out. And also they note on there that they're not paying the sales tax. So you're on the hook to figure out how to pay the sales tax. So if you buy these, you're making a five-month-interest-free loan to someone who is hopefully not evil. And then maybe also signing up for sales tax fraud, which is what the government killed Eric Garner for doing with Lucy's cigarettes. So, yeah. I feel like if you buy these.

you're kind of, you know, you're signing up for the evil. You said hopefully not evil, but, you know, it's actually the opposite. It's like, really hope this money goes to something evil. What else would you buy these? What, dude, what if it, what if it's Hamas? It's like, remember what Hobby Lobby? The people that own Hobby Lobby got caught funding ISIS. Yeah.

They just relics on the international black market and turns out it was ISIS selling them. It's like, this is the kind of show you're signing up for here. International finance, man. It don't hit. It don't hit. All right. honorable mention Martin Luther King for writing all them letters from jail

where of course he ended up on account of all his speeding tickets or something. I don't know. Who can recall? Anyway. Is Donald Trump at risk of being America's first real political prisoner? God.

This might be the clip that drove be fucking insane. All right. If you just look through like the recent news, the The protesters locked up for the Atlanta cop city shit for just hanging posters and having poetry nights on RICO charges. Just a short list off top of head. Leonard Peltier, the members of AIM who occupied Wounded Knee in the 70s. Peltier and the people of Wounded Knee actually did stuff.

Like Peltier said he did actually shoot the FBI just, but he wasn't involved in the shootout. But anyway, but then you got people who are actually innocent like Sacco and Van Zetti or who were probably innocent. and then like the Chicago 7 who were tried for a crime that didn't even fucking happen. Right. This is like, this is it comes after Trump

like finally spoke about Alexei Navalny who died in a Russian prison a few days ago and he did so in order to compare himself to Navalny as a political prisoner. And not that he'd just say this out loud, but Navalty was just in prison for just being politically active under charges that were labeled quote unquote extremism.

he wasn't fined a bunch of money for lying to banks. Those aren't similar things at all. And because we're going to talk about Russia in a minute, I wanted to talk about Navalny because like people get flattened into like trading cards when they die and in a way that sort of bugs me. And like people can be multiple things. All right. Navani was brave.

He flew home to Russia knowing they were going to lock him up to make a point. That's true. Right. His entry point to politics was basically as an investor. He noticed that he wasn't seeing the profits he should be seeing. So he got interested in corruption. And standing up the Russian government took a lot of bravery. Also, he marched with Nazis.

He said a bunch of racist shit. And I know the person has to be like, actually, the person who thinks hits, doesn't it? I hate being. I know that's my fucking thing. I'm not saying he said a bunch of, he referred to Muslims as cockroaches. he referred to Georgians as rodents when Russia was attacking Georgia back in 2008. He did later apologize for that. And he softened his rhetoric about, like, you know, various minorities later in life.

And he's defense for marching with Nazis where you need a broad coalition to defeat Vladimir Putin. And I get that. But you don't have to pretend like, okay, the racism against Georgians. I don't know anything about life in Russia. But it reminded me of a couple days ago when some, I forget where we were. talking about racism in France or French racial epithets and I was like they I was like I wonder what French race leopithets are and one of them was for British people and that's because they eat a lot of roast beef the racial slur for British people is literally roast beef and I was like

I was just thinking about how like other people's racism seemed stupid and made up right ours makes sense and it's yeah I just always wonder how impactful those particular slurs are like if I went to France they don't know anything about Tennessee but if they were like oh what's up sweet tea you know like if they call me sweet taste like i would be like well you seem to have a shitty attitude but i'm not upset at the words you called me though but yeah that nivalny stuff it's so funny because like you said for people you know if y'all don't know you should know if you've watched this show enough but it's like a running joke in our friend group that mark is the guy who just who ruins things and people for you like if you got somebody hits for you he's like

you know actually he was a huge racist right like that type of thing so it's funny you're doing this with nivalny because i was on the young turks like on friday we're talking about Navalny, and I really jerked him off for his bravery, dude. I didn't know any of this Nazi stuff or whatever. I was just like, I was like, look, dude, fucking I get, I get nervous talking shit in my car about the lunatics in this country, you know what I mean? I can't imagine the stakes being this high. Like, he walked to walk and paid for it, but it's like you said, both things can be true.

But yeah, I didn't know he did Nazi shit and was super racist, but, you know, you'll have that, I suppose. Dude. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Russia's a crazy place. crazy place. The good guys over there are super racist. I'm not judging him for his anti-Georgian racism.

Yeah, we don't know Georgians. I mean, as a Tennysonian, our Georgians are suspect. You know what I mean? So, you know, what are you going to do? Yeah, go vals. Fuck the dogs. Yeah. All right.

Let's keep talking about Russia. They're expanding their ventures into orbit, Mark. So last week, there was like a two-day panic. It's still sort of ongoing because Mike Turner, the Republican chair of one of the House Intel committees, of the House Intel committee, called for the Biden administration to declassify some information related to a Russian weapon in space. And then everybody was off and running. And then let's look at some ABC news, there's breathless, straight news coverage of this and how maybe, how, how, how, how. afraid should we all be, but said it in a tone of voice, the guys very, very afraid. Turned out of the chaos and alarm on Capitol Hill today after cryptic words over Russia

and a potential nuclear threat in space, the Republican head of the House Intelligence Committee, catching Americans off guard suggesting there is a serious national security threat, even before a scheduled briefing tomorrow with the White House. So tonight here, what is this threat? As the Republican House Speaker then said today, there's no reason for panic. Mary Bruce of the White House. Tonight, that cryptic warning from the Republican chairman. So there's no reason to panic.

That guy sounds like the most panning motherfucker I've ever heard in my life. This is one of those things where I wish people would be less paranoid and more skeptical. Do you know what I'm saying? Right. Like, how can you walk around being like, I don't trust, like, Russian space nukes the point where I'm scared we're all going to die. I'm going to take this one member of Congress's word for it. We should all be very afraid, right? Yeah, well, it's like, I feel like before the whole Ukraine thing, which is a while way to phrase that, I suppose, but before the whole Ukraine thing, like, there was this sort of, you know, this trepidation in America about Russia being this, like, sleeping giant, militarily speaking, like, oh, you don't want that smoke from Russia. You know what I mean? Like, they are, they still, like, war-wise, you don't want to fuck with Russia, right?

It was like a conceit that I feel like a lot of the Western world held. And I feel like since the Ukraine situation, one of the worst things that I feel like that's happened to Russia, PR-wise, it's kind of exposed that as being horse shit. You know what I mean? They've exposed their own, like, incompetency and, you know, basement tier level of military operations in a lot of places. So I feel like now hearing them talk about, we have nukes in space. You know what I mean? It's like here in North Korea

threatened to blow up the moon or something. They're always saber rattling and saying wild shit. And if you heard North Korea say they're going to blow up the moon, I don't think anybody in this country would genuinely panic, even though we do love the moon and we own the moon. We claim the moon. It's our moon. It's our moon.

We don't want it to get blown up by them. But if they said that, we wouldn't be worried about them blowing up the moon, you know? it's a similar type of thing or should be. It's like, if anybody, if you guys, it's a very famous speech, but you haven't seen a Dwight Eisenhower's speech leaving office about the military industrial complex. Like every American should be required to watch it like twice a year.

Because like, if there's not an enemy, you've got to make one up, right? And yeah, Russia has nooks. It's not like we should provoke them or anything. But also like, I would have thought when their tanks fell apart and were rusty trying to drive it into Ukraine, have been like, okay, I see what's happening here. But like, so how this all came about. So Mike Turner, the chair of the House Intel Committee, he's normally not a crank by 2024 Republican standards.

His main thing is just normal corruption. Like his ex-wife is a lobbyist and his net worth has gone up like 10 full by since he's been in his office. And in 2008 and 2010, Turner was listed one of the most corrupt members of Congress by citizens for responsibility and ethics in Washington. So if you wonder what's actually going on, Turner seems to be up to two things. maybe three, because he is for getting more aid to Ukraine. So cyber rattling about Russia could be part of that. But also, one of the things Congress is fighting about right now is figure out whether or not to reauthorize Section 7 or two of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which expires

in April. He might be trying to urge, you know, make people afraid of national security threats to pass that. And he also might just, basically, the Republican might be able to, might be trying to imply that, you know, the Biden administration is unprepared for some big new threat or whatever. Section 702, if you're not familiar with it, is one of those Patriot Act-like things that lets the NSA watch us all pee. What it actually does is previously NSA to acquire the communications

of pretty much any foreigner abroad without getting an individualized court order. And the issue with that, if you care, is a lot of Americans talk to people overseas. So if you email somebody overseas, the federal government can read your email or listen to your calls and read your text messages. without having to do anything. Man, I just have been living under the assumption that they're totally doing that anyway,

if they have the intention to in the first place. You know what I mean? Sections, whatever, aside. Like, the NSA, you know, they'd be listening if they want to listen. Yeah, but at least if there's a law that doesn't authorize it, when they get caught doing it, they get in trouble. Right. But, like, this information comes to Brennan Center for Justice. If you want to talk about what they've been caught doing, the FBI conducted warrantless searches in Section 702 acquired information to access communications of Black Lives Matter protesters, U.S. government officials, journalists, political commentators, and 19,000 donors to a single congressional campaign.

So I don't even know, like, there might not have been a foreign person involved in that. They just scooped it all up. some people of course because American still has some civil libertarians want to reform this law but Joe Biden and Mike Turner do not. They think it's fine the way it is and I do want to say like

I get why every executive branch wants as much power as it can get because that's the way the system's supposed to work. The branches are supposed to fight each other over it but also I wish Democratic presidents wouldn't try to accrue all this power for an executive branch they're going to have to hand over to Donald fucking Trump you know.

So that's the context of this point. political fight, though maybe why Mike Turner called for everybody, because we called for everybody released, for it to be released, the other gang of eight people in Congress who were read in on this, and the executive branch, the Biden administration, were all like, what, why now? What the hell? What's happening now that makes this, you know, because it didn't make any sort of sense to anybody who was read in on it. Let's talk about the weapon itself. The basic story is, Russia may be thinking of putting nuclear weapons into orbit, or maybe it's just nuclear powered. It's probably like an EMP related thing as a nuclear blast mix in electromagnetic pulse and we disable our satellites, which is a normal thing you would kind of expect anybody who might face American military threat to be trying to figure out the capability to do because that's one of our big advantages is like, you know, smart bombs and very well targeted missiles with GPS abilities like and also international like communications rapidly world round.

and I'm sure we have that's normal in the game type stuff. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? There's nothing to panic about. It's like the Russian government wants to protect their interests of the Russian government.

Like they want to be able to counterbalance our strengths. That's baked into all this fucking you know, pissing contest international relations bullshit. So like freak out about it. It sounds like, are you born yesterday? You know? Right, but let me ask you this part of it though,

like politically speaking, like this guy, Mike Turner, Republican guy, like you say, is not a crank by 2024 standards. But this is like Republicans currently pushing this narrative, right? That we should be worried about this Russian space, Nook. And I'm just saying because I got in the impression recently that they were all like kind of on board with Russia. You know, they didn't want to fund Ukraine. I think Putin's strong.

Trump thinks Putin strong. Tucker just went over there and got back and whatnot. So how does that all factor in? I don't think it, I don't think they care about anything. and real. I think what they care about is being able to go on TV and say Joe Biden is a huge pussy. His wake on something. Right. Yeah. Right. So I wouldn't even worry about what you actually think because it doesn't fucking matter. But the main takeaway is like most of the articles about Turner as assessment of our impending nuclear doom probably should not have been written.

It was just like a bunch of panic about nothing. And to agree on this is real. What actually happened apparently is the Biden administration says they were working behind the scenes, trying to talk Russia out of launching this weapon, which are just in the testing phase. of, and this might have blown up all that back channel stuff. So if it has any effect on national security, it probably made us all a little bit more in danger to the degree that anyone would ever pull the trigger on this. If you're that worried about Russia blowing up a satellite to let you get Uber Eats, you know what I'm saying?

I don't know. So, but how this is this, this is like, this is like we were playing this game, like since the 1950s where we exaggerate Russia's. military threat and then panic about it. A lot of politicians got very powerful off this. A lot of weapons contractors got very rich off of it. I told you I watched, rewatch the Good Shepherd recently. And they're like, that's again, the 60s origin of the CIA details of the whole movie.

Matt Dan movie is a good movie. But like, there's a scene where a Russian comes in from the cold trying to convince Madame and he is who he says he is. They get him high on LSD to try to get the truth out of him. And he says, you're basically imagining Rush is a big threat. Rocha's a dead bloated cow, but you jumps out of a window. It's a spoiler for a movie that came out in 2006 or whatever. So anyway, like, we've been doing this forever.

Like, we thought they were an impendent threat to wear doom until the moment they just absolutely stopped existing because they were so weak. Right. And now, like, we'll talk about their actual weapons programs in a minute, but like how those filters through like the right wing audience. Here's a headline from Newsmax. Biden weakness causing Russian space dominance. space dominance, a country where 20% of people don't have indoor plumbing, we're talking about they're having space dominance, all right? Yeah.

And to get back to the reality of this for a second, like the non, you know, what's the movie where is it golden eye, or is the Russian has the satellite laser that could destroy whole cities or whatever, the bomb movie? Like, people think that's real, I guess. I don't know. But to talk about the recent history of Russian superweapons. So in 2018, Vladimir Putin announced within a presentation of big fancy graphics, three new superweapons. A drone submarine that he claimed could inundate the U.S. eastern seaboard with a radioactive tsunami.

All right. A nuclear-powered cruise missile basically called the Burravesnik. They could circle the earth perpetually because it's nuclear powered. We never have to come down until they ordered it to actually strike something. Now, think about how that would go if Russia launched that. would not launch that. That would be seen as a first attack and they would get fucking nuked. All right. The third

program was a hypersonic missile, which would obviously go too fast for us to shoot it down. We'd deliver nuclear payload. The first thing, the tsunami nuclear sub-drone, that's just cartoon bullshit. No one thinks that you could actually make

a tsunami by setting off a nuke under the eastern seaboard. But he did convince like Kim Jong-un to start his own program. Trying to make one of those. It does sound pretty cool. I can't imagine him sitting around the table. And he hears like, they got nuclear tsunamis now.

And he's like, oh, I want one of those. That's an exciting new toy. I want it. Yeah. Yeah. So the nuclear-powered cruise missile, the Burvessnik, they try to test some version of them in 2019, and it fell into the White Sea, and it killed seven scientists, and they went to try to retrieve it because it was spewing out like vision materials.

Right. Right. the third i'm sorry to let my reality intrude when everyone's panic americans love panicking over shit like this uh and now we're talking about the the the the supersonic missile to the degree it actually exists at all ukraine now rarely shoots down uh one version of that missile called the kinsal and the other one the zircon missile tried they tried to fire it into ukraine and it crashed after the controllers could not steer it right uh going back to the first in the kinsal is when they got shot down so easily. Instead of like

Vladimir Putin being like I actually lied or actually not saying anything, he actually just arrested the scientist who made it and set them to work camps. Rather than admit he was just bullshitting about the capabilities of his made up fucking super weapon. So. Right.

They've kind of exposed themselves Russia as being like the wily coyote of the global geopolitical landscape or whatever. They're just got all these, like, big fucking acme traps and stuff. They're putting together these big elaborate plans that just blow up in their face or fail miserably.

And the roadrunner just keeps on beep-beeping. I mean, look, we got, we got dolphin submarine mine detectors. We got, those actually work. We also have, like, the weather, the DARPA trying to make weather machines. And we got, like, the guys who took LSD and tried to do telepathy with goats and move stuff with their minds for the army. like it's not like everybody does this hair brain shit you know the Nazis try to do witchcraft like it's like everybody's trying to get a leg up on everybody

including Russia try to make a device that we take out our satellites because that's what you'd want to do if you've got in a shooting war with America and we're always talking about getting shooting wars with everybody I'm like we got guns they got guns everybody got guns don't worry like this is the world sorry I don't know it's just what it is yep so what you're saying is Mark we don't have to

We don't need to build new space, new bunkers. We don't need to build elaborate bunkers in our backyard, stocking full of pot of meat and whatnot. Dude, my wife has the worst sense of direction in the world, and she refuses. Like, she once asked me what direction North Hollywood was from Hollywood. All right? Now, I would not ask that question, but if I was, like, in Hollywood, I would have no capacity to tell you which way North Hollywood was from. Hollywood you know what I'm saying is if I was if we were standing in Hollywood and you're like which way is North Hollywood never in a million years could I tell you which way you know we went to

grocery grocery store the other way the other day she turned the wrong direction coming out of her house because that's the direction we had come from because we made another stop and I was like we where are we going this way we live that way she's like she's going back the way we got there I'm like what the anyway my point is like she refuses to learn and she's like a mansplating when I do but I do that kind of thing which maybe I'm a little bit but also you should know how to get around in case Russia that's off an EMP in space and your GPS doesn't work, I will literally never see my wife again.

Yeah. Vladimir Putin takes out our GPS. You'll never see me again either, buddy. I can tell you right now, I'm with Aaron on that one. I'm so MAPDum. All right, Matt. This is a woman who wants kind of plan to get up at sunrise and go down to Santa Monica and to watch the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean.

Well, that's awfully cute. That's adorable. The Rhone on YouTube says hit that like button. Thank you, the Rhone. Yes, as always, I forgot. Hit the like button, share, subscribe, all that stuff. We appreciate it. Darkly yours says, wait, do we on the moon?

Hell yeah, you've seen the other flags on it? That's right. We learned that from Daddy Britain, you know. That's the way the rules work. You put a flag, no flag. As Eddie Isred said, no flag, no country. Can't have one. When you put a flag in, that means you own it.

We put a flag on the moon. That means we own it. Those are the rules that we're all just made up. Yeah, to make sure your brother and sister couldn't have it? That's what we did with the moon, baby. Yeah. Carter on YouTube says Putin keeps saying Russia owns Alaska and they're taking it back. Yeah, I saw somebody in the State Department asked about that.

I was going to include it one of our dumbasses, but when I went to look at the actual source material, it was like some, it was a mild mistranslation. It was like, I don't speak. Russian, but at the top of my head, it was more like they regretted selling it to us rather than you're going to take it back. I don't know. It doesn't... Not on Sarah Palin's watch, baby. He's mad somewhat about Alaska for some reason.

Yeah. Edward Westerfield on YouTube says Elon Musk wants to nuke Mars. Yeah, that was the thing, wasn't it? I didn't see that one. What was that about? I feel like I'm ever hearing that. Is it some kind of like terraforming... That's where my brainways is trying to terraform it.

Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Might as well. hell we got nooks it's up there just shoot it a bunch skittle butt dragon rasp love that name so someone should look into russia using elon skylink we did when rona ferro wrote that whole piece about like all the difference either what's going on all of elons different companies and all of his boards are concerned about his drug use and his fucking unreliability and like whatever it's like for you if you guys don't know what skittled butt dragon raft is talking I'm Skittled by Dragon.

So that, like, is a real name. I hope it is her government name. That'd be cool. Could be changed it. But the, like, he was basically shutting down Scottlink, which Ukraine uses for internet communications on the front lines at kind of at the request of Russia, because, I don't know. So, yeah.

You know, I know, we got to do something. Somebody should do something about him. His defense contractor who's, like, completely stone out of his mind on cocaine and ketamine 24-7, who's up tweeting until 5 a.m. And he's a defense contractor who, with a ton of control over a lot of our infrastructure. So, yeah. Keith Davies says Russia has shopping carts and fresh bread, though. Can't be mean.

Yeah, Tucker went over there, marveled at the cost of groceries and stuff. And it's like, well, yeah, you know, they get. They're poor. Significantly. Yeah, right. Breaking news. The groceries in a country where the wages are fucking a fifth of hours tend to be cheaper, generally speaking.

He praised them for having coin-operated grocery carts. Right, which Aldi has. Right. Yeah, it's a thing. As an anti-homous thing, which is like, yeah, it's like that, uh, like from arrested development, it's like it's a banana. How much could it cost? $10, right?

And it's like, it's that type of thing with Tucker where it's like he's marveling at that grocery store innovation, which we have had in this country for years and years now. And it belies, uh, you know, the fact that he don't be grocery. shopping, I guess. Yeah. Oh, Kim Cousato, long time skewer, says, hey, try to tell everybody about the big live POA tomorrow. Thank you some cross-promotion, Kim. I appreciate that. Me and Mark go live and producer Matt every Tuesday at 5 p.m. Pacific time, but I'll be doing it again tomorrow night with Cory Forster for putting on airs, not political at all, fancy stuff

podcast. It's our 100th episode. So we're going live. It's funny because Corey's like, oh, it's a big deal. It's our 100th episode. Let's go live. and it's like I'm we be going live all the time me and mark stay going live you know what I mean it's like but but you know it's a I had Corey had a lot live like I guess we have them on this show but like I'd be like yeah and he says wild shit yeah like we had Marcus flowers on here whatever and Corey was talking about butt fucking people with apples in their mouth right before he came on you know to try to reach across the aisle or whatever so like that's why he couldn't and that's why Marcus lost Marjorie Taylor

Green right there. Corey did it. Corey did it talking about butt fucking in apples. But yes. We all can come back right here tomorrow night and there'll be a whole different podcast with a whole different co-host but it'll be fun. Allison Haygood says

Tucker Carlson's never, not once done his own grocery shopping. Yeah, he's a trust fund, baby, right? Also unwanted by his mother, I believe. He's also, he's air to the Swanson Frozen Dinner for it, which is like, I wonder if he's ever eaten

a once in a frozen dinner, you think? Right. I don't know. Certainly once, right? You've got to try it. J.N. A. Moore says, what time is P.O.A? Four Pacific 7 Eastern tomorrow right here. Well, I say right here, if you're watching on YouTube, we're not sure if we can do it from my YouTube and POA's YouTube. But whatever.

Check on my socials. You can get a link to it. You can find it. Charles Cross says, Corey, is a little. loose cannon. Yes, he is. Indeed, he is. I see, the difference, Charles, is canons have a purpose. Corey, we'll never hear that second. We can't do what to them only want. Christine Remick says, did you hear Russia's making a town for American conservatives to move to? I sure did hear that. And let me tell you what. I'm about to stay. Yeah, right. Okay. Like that Willie Wonka meme. Oh, no, stop. Don't. Like, I'll fucking, we'll start a super pack right here on this show to fund.

their travel expenses, if that's what they won't. You know what I mean? I'm all for it. I mean, they want to be oppressed so bad. Let them have some. Right. Right. Right. It's like, I can't really make sense of what Americans think anymore. Like, everyone seems so cold without knowing it. And then they're going to go volunteer to live in a fucking prison state.

And just, I hope they all get shipped off to fight in Ukraine. Do you think whichever American conservatives, they like, dupe into moving over there. Do you think they'll like treat them with kid gloves for some kind of PR reason or something or do you, okay, yeah, probably. It'll be like during the Olympics, you know, it'll be like, they'll put him in like Rush's version of Beverly Hills and give him servants and shit for a while. Good. I mean, if that attracts more of them to go over there, that hits for me.
