Welcome back and happy skews day to you, or should I say Tuesday, like the number to.

That's right, because you guys probably haven't heard anywhere. but if you haven't i'll be the first to tell you today got a whole bunch of twos in it that's right it's two 22 22 what's it all mean certainly nothing but it's neat though well the cue people think it means a lot so i bet they do but there's a lot of numeric numerological um numerical umerogical uh implications for a day like today i'm trying that's mark go ahead mark do you know what do they mean do you know i don't know but they think it must mean something is the i saw a lot of I don't really add a new pay close to inch to it because what the fuck is the point. But yeah, this isn't going to happen again where it's all, like, it won't be all threes until,

I mean, even, there's no March, there's no March 33rd. So it comes back around to January 11th in the year 10,011 is the next time this will happen, I think. So enjoy it, guys. Open a cocktail. This is a once in a lifetime thing. It's like when a comma goes by, everyone's like, this is a real special. You're like, I guess, yeah, I guess it's special. I don't know anything on comments.

Yeah. Yeah, but you doing okay, Trey? I pulled a muscle on my back the other day, which is the, you know, worst thing can happen to a person as far as I know in your daily life. Yeah, I know. I, dude, I'm, I'm fine right now, but I've reached an age where sometimes, every so often, I'll just fuck my back up by just existing as far as I could tell. Like, I'll just, I guess I sleep slightly wrong or something.

I'll wake up and my back just, just, just be wrong all day or multiple days just for literally no reason. So that's always fun. Yeah. You never really realize how much you use your back. But like, you know, it's like like, yeah, opening doorknobs is a apparently use your back for that. Who knew? But my pain, Trey, compares nothing to what's being suffered by the people of Ukraine.

How about that for a transition? Beautiful segue. So we talked about this about a month ago or whatever. I don't have a big. the thing about foreign policy stuff is I've never been to Ukraine and neither of most of the people are talking about it.

And so everyone's like, it's all so messy and everyone has these very specific ideas about stuff that people, what people should do. I was reading this thing about like what's so dangerous about all this is like the things you can't control. Like say if a Russian fighter jet over Ukraine veers two miles into NATO airspace and they're hyped up nervous

and they take a shot at like, I don't know, a NATO jet. a jet from a NATO country, that's going to be war, right? Yeah, right. It's not going to be good. And we're not invading Ukraine, and we shouldn't because

Russia has fucking nukes, and we have nukes, and this is just, it's just all sucks. But it's like, watch this from afar. Okay, so the weirdest part about this is like both the U.S. embassy and Kiev and Ukrainian embassy and the Russian

embassy are all tweeting memes at each other. They're doing meme wars. Would I find fucking stupid and sad? Yeah. If you watch it, did you see any of Puts speech yesterday? No, I know about it. I read like summaries and whatnot of it. I didn't actually watch it, though.

It was pretty unhinged, right? He was on one. He essentially said that because the USSR let Ukraine go when they dismantled themselves, that therefore the Soviet Union was a puppet of the West. Right. And he called the collapse of the Soviet Union, maybe the worst thing, the biggest tragedy of the 20th century, which has been his, the last couple hundred years, which has been his, you know, thing for a while. But the thing is, it's not ideological to him. He just thinks Russia should have an empire.

It doesn't, it doesn't be communist. Of course. And they also, a lot of those Soviet country, former Soviet Union now countries, they have, like, additional resources in them that Russia, you know, that used to belong to the Soviet Union, you know. Now, that's hard if you're a despot. If you're a tyrant, it's hard to lose all your potassium stores or whatever, you know, they're dealing with over there. He said one of the craziest things was, because I guess when Lenin killed the Tsar and took over or whatever, that he let Finland go. And he basically called Lenin, Vladimir Lenin, a huge pussy for a lot keeping Finland as part of the Russian Empire. But so.

It's like that shit, Vladimir Lenin. Yeah. there's a story came out of France this afternoon from leaks from macrones i don't know what the french white house is uh you know whatever from macron's administration there's like saying that like mccrone thinks putin's lost it like during the pandemic especially like he's like the last time he met him in order for putin to shake his hand for a photo up they told him to show up seven hours earlier and passed repeated covid tests and mccrone was like fuck this he's like i mean it's honestly if putton descended into gerophobia and depression and paranoia

in the pandemic. That's very, very relatable. I think a lot of people can get on the same page. But it's one of the things U.S. intelligence I was reading is really worried about is they're not sure where he's getting his information from and what he thinks is happening because like, remember how Trump, instead of having it using the intelligence, the IC to get his news, he would get it from like Breitbart. Yeah. Like Putin's doing shit like that. No one knows what he actually thinks is happening on the ground. We're arming neo-Nazis, which if you're going to arm a whole country to defend itself, like if, if China and made at us, me and you in a foxhole, a couple

proud boys, and then vegans for open borders and we all be pulling together and trying to fight. So I guess it's got to do, you know. But like, but like, it's all it's just, but it's all crazy. It worries me kind of because all the economy

talk is going on at the same time. Yeah. Like inflation and all the stuff's out. And it just feels like oftentimes in this country whenever there's like economic problems. It's like, oh, anybody see the clock? It's about four in war 30 over here. I need to fire up they all war machine you know it's good for jobs and whatnot wars this war this war is to be

terrible for it like that's it's one of the big like it's like look we have we have whatever economic problems are and everyone disagrees what they are no one can agree that economy is good or bad because people are getting higher paid jobs it's like people get higher paid jobs is bad for big business right so they're trying to like get the fed to squash interest rate a tight interest rates so the rest of us get more employed so we're more desperate for jobs and they can keep their bottom lines low inflation isn't great for everybody but like last year i think the uk had the biggest one-time drop in living standards since they started tracking it russia has like nine percent inflation uh i think turkey isn't like 20 percent inflation rate it's like this isn't just our

problem but like no i've seen a lot of i've seen a lot of pictures on the internet on reddit and stuff of like sky high gas prices in germany or wherever and it's like god damn dude joe biden is ruining germany's tax prices too or gas prices too that's how bad he is mark He's fucking up Germany and Sweden's gas market, Joe Biden is. It's a goddamn shame. Yeah. So it's like this is going to, gas prices are going to go through the roof and probably the entire world's going to like even more reactionary governments as a, you know, as a, as a, as a consequence of this.

So like there's no, like there's no happy news in this, but this is something funny I learned today. Ukraine, I was reading up on it. Ukraine is like, calls itself the world's most, this doesn't want to call it the world's most unlucky country. Like they just, because of where there's. situated they've been occupied by four different empires in the past couple hundred years and that's that's only if you don't count if you count russia as one because russia's obviously been a couple different empires yeah but so like now then so they're operated if they're occupied by the czar and then the soviet union and now putin there's three different russes that have occupied them

you got the ottoman uh you get the austro-hungarian empire the ottoman empire and then the third rike also conquered them and then but so the things are pretty bleas that there. Literally the guy they elected President Zelensky is a comedian. He was a star of a sitcom. They said, fuck it and gave 70-some percent of their vote to a guy from a sitcom. So they're, the tail-married time for them, baby. But the Ukrainian, they know they're unlucky and they don't give a fuck. Their national anthem, they had since the 90s. Do you want to guess what the name of it, Trey is? Ukraine has not yet perished of their national anthem. That's the Gallows humor stuff right there, buddy.

That's, yeah. Yeah. Not yet, motherfuckers. There's pointing at the rest of the world. Like, you ain't got us yet. Yet. Perhaps one day. But not yet.

Ours is looking at our terrifying bombs. We're fucking awesome. We'll kick your ass. And theirs is like, we're not fucking dead. I'm going to take you to the grave with me, you assholes. Yeah. So it only has six lines. Let me count.

And it goes, Ukraine is not yet dead, nor it's glory and freedom. Luck will still smile on us, brother, Ukrainians. that sounds hopeful. Our enemies will die as the dude does in the sunshine. This is golf as hell. And we two brothers will live happily in our land. We'll not spare either our souls or bodies to get freedom. And we'll prove that we are brothers of Cossack Kent.

So there you go. Pretty fucking metal, dude. Yeah. But yeah. No, the whole thing is, yeah, it's just, it's so fucked. And like you were some foreign policy stuff, it's like, I feel, you know, when our politicians over here, when they get on some bullshit and everything, I'm completely comfortable just going off on that because it's like, you know, this, I'm from America. Usually the dumbasses are like from my part of the world or at least, like, I know what's going on with them. You know what I mean?

I know how they be and what motivates them and the bullshit they do and everything. But with stuff like this, I just, I'm like, yeah, it's, it ain't good. It's like, I feel real bad for Ukraine. It's really not good. I don't, I'm kind of at my limit of what I know to say about this right now. I'm worried about it, you know, that's, that's it. Well, Americans to look at this stuff like, we're the protagonist to reality. It's like, well, if this problem is happening, then Joe Biden should do something about it.

It's like what? Like, like, Putin's evading Ukraine because Putin wants to invade Ukraine. Like, it's not like, there's no, like, lever to push. And, like, our politicians would fall for this because they promised perfect solutions to, like, really complicated. problems. They do it all the time. They literally say we're going to solve crime. I was having a conversation with a relative of mine. I don't. I did it. She's a very smart lady, but she were talking about when whatever has happened in North Korea a few years ago, she's like, oh, we just can't let him have a nuclear weapon. I was like, what does that mean? How do you, right? How do we do

that? Like, he already has it. He already has it. And so we just, we go over there and take it? because that's like an invasion. Yeah. During what you're Lucas. It's starting a war. Yeah. Right. No,

I know. It's like, you know, getting off on a tangent with this, but there's so many times where like, like with health care or whatever, for example, they'll just be like,

you know, I just don't think that, you know, our taxes should pay for other people's health care or whatever else. It's like, okay, so, but we have emergency rooms and shit,

right? So like, you want to just allow poor people to die. It's like if they don't have insurance, I can't afford it, you think they should just be allowed to die. And they'll back, they'll backpedal and be like, no, nobody's saying that. And it's like, okay, well, how is that supposed to work then? Like, you can't just say these things. Like, this is how it should be, but with no actual practical application strategy or anything.

And, yeah, that shit happens all the time. It's all just pying the sky bullshit. But anyway, anyway, I've been bantering. and for now and 13 minutes here. With us, as always, as producer, Matt, this is, you've figured out by now, weekly skews. I want to remind y'all, if you're vaccinated, want to see me live, you go to well-read comedy.com.

I'll be back in my old stomping grounds, Knoxville, Tennessee, at the lovely Beesue Theater, March 5th. I hope to see y'all there. As for the show tonight, we've all heard Republicans harp on about law and order. They ostensibly love law and order and not just the long-running Dick Wolf Perse.

procedural franchise, probably that too. But the very concept of law and order, they're obsessed with it. And this week, they identified a very major threat to law and order in this country. And that threat is getting innocent people released from prison. Does it make sense? Of course not. But we'll talk about it anyway a little later. And along the way, we're going to meet a clown car's worth of truly maniacal politicians and political candidates. So buckle up. But first, as always, we will begin, if you can call it beginning. at this point with The Daily Dumbass. Matt, graphic, please.

Tonight's D.D. comes to us courtesy of our Patreon supporter, Chris. Thank you for that, Chris. And it is anybody who thought that GOP politicians couldn't also be hard rock and stone cold badasses. That's right. If you don't believe me, check out Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Jake Corman in this campaign ad. I'm Jake Corman, the conservative candidate who's taken on Governor Tom Woof.

But my daughter asked, it does not be just another boring political commercial? Thanks, Dad. So, let's do this. I defeated Tom Wolff's record-breaking tax increases. No new taxes! I fought him in court so that we could audit the 2020 election. And I ended his mask mandates for kids in school. I'm Jake Corman.

As governor, I'll put people first. all right so he said not another boring political ad but that's like a but it is a boring ad for like a pizza commercial in the 90s right

right I know that's what it's like it's such a weird choice in so many ways to be like I'm gonna make I'm gonna be cool like I'm gonna do a cool ad not a boring ad I'm gonna do a cool ad you know what's super cool in 2022 is hair metal

hair metal we're gonna go with a hair metal themed political ad but dude when these goobers, bro. It's always been super like it's a real gut punch that so many of these

people who just run the world and have so much power and just ruin everything for everybody are just dorks, bro. Just fucking goober-ass goobes. Like this motherfucker here, it's wild. He is very much a goober, but he's intensely rebranding

that presents him as a, he's even wearing like the zip-up fleece. Like, these guys are all doing this now. They're Yonkin in Virginia. It's like, yeah, I'm a sociopathic ghoul, but look, I got a vest sometimes. But here's the thing. You talked about, I stood up, I took governor to court over election integrity. He lost, I think.

So that's worth noting. But about that, and the lead up to the 2020 elections, Corman and other Republicans in the state legislature refused to implement changes that would allow Pennsylvania officials to process mail-in ballots before election day. As a result of that in action, counting a ballot. in Philadelphia took several days leaving you know what happens next all the confusion about election integrity is exactly because of this fucking guy it's his goddamn fault he created the own thing for him to swim in um uh another thing you need know about him is uh he sued the ncaa you

want to guess why would a guy from pennsylvania sue the ncaa he was seeking to reverse sanctions to the athletic association imposed against penn state after the pen state's child sex abuse scandal bro you talk about picking your battles you know what i mean like what a hill to die on fucking going to bat for joe pa and the jerry sandusky fucking try the most horrific sports scandal in the history of american sports like picking that as the thing you're like this will not stand this accountability for this decades long institutional sex crimes scandal at this state university, we will not

have that. Not in my, just because he, you know, big Nettany Lines fan, I assume, or something, but what a fucking, that's wild, man. If you had to write down all the ghoulish things that modern American conservatives believe, it'd be like, well, college football is definitely a higher priority than stopping the

butt-fucking of kids, right? Yeah. Definitely have to be. So, um... Champions of us, baby. Got to hang them banners. Listen, you got to hang some banners. You're going to crack a few eggs and molest a few cans, I guess. And the guy's been saying, although I don't think they were hanging banners while he was there. I can't remember, not many, that's for sure.

Anyway, the last few decades. So, uh, the last time one of the guys is trying to rebrand as a cuddly guy who hangs out with his daughter and makes her listen to hair metal from 15 years before she was born. Uh, and the last time he was viral or known is in 2019, he made national headlines for aggressively yelling over a Democratic state senator named Katie Muth. as she read into the record a letter from a formerly homeless resident, John Boyd, who encouraged representatives to not take away monthly general assistance funds from him and other vulnerable citizens. Now, what had happened here, the lieutenant governor, Federman, I'm Blake on his first name right now.

It's not Wayne, is it? Wade Federman's a comic, yeah. The Federman, the guy, everyone, all the people in the comments always love, he had left the chambers to go to the bathroom or something. and Republicans used that chance as a procedural trick to have the President Pro Tem who was a Republican gaveled through the bill with no discussion that cut this program that helped poor people. So in response to this, there's nothing they could do.

Democrats had fumbled us away and fucked up. So she was going to read this letter to shame them. So she's trying to read a letter, and Matt, you can play this video. I'd like to rise to offer an official statement to put on the record from Mr. John Boyd. Mr. John Boyd, I'm here to express my gratitude and ask for the support to protect General Assistance. I am alive today because General Assistance is supported my stability and help me live independently again after being homeless for 25 years. general assistance is only a temporary program.

Yeah, you get down. It's John Federman, by the way, I looked it up. Yeah, that's like the Katie Moose, the lady politician who's reading the letter here. She's sort of like, it's like whenever the internet starts pulling up old problematic DMX and M&M lyrics, I respond to that the same way that guy does. stop it stop it right now i don't want to hear yeah yeah yeah but no this is super like no

semblance of professionalism whatsoever and i bet he probably wouldn't have done that as emphatically if she was a man even being a democratic man you know it's a pretty pretty rough i just can't believe that we have a system of government where a bunch of people get pushed into poverty because a guy had to go take a pee break and someone else like was like I called dibs in the government it's like what the fuck is that oh god yeah oh Jesus that sucks anyway fuck that guy and don't don't believe he's nice and cuddly because he has a daughter and heard of hair metal so yeah speaking of believing they're nice and cuddly let's uh let's see another side of Canada here real quick our next honorable mention those Canadian truckers for being so good at making friends

like this guy. Check this out. This is great. It's six yards clear. Fuck you. Shut up. Go fuck yourself. Fuck you and fuck you.

I don't give a fuck, I don't give a fuck about you. Go to fuck home. Nobody fucking cares about your bullshit. Walk around your fucking tailgate party. And your goddamn nonsense. Don't you fucking go. Shut.

We put your bucket there in a way. Shut up your fucking ass. I'm just going to. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.

Fuck you. oh man he really that crescendo he builds to where he's just like you fuck you and he needs the double birds and everything it's just like it's like that same from half baked you know jim brewer on his way out like you're cool except nobody was cool in this scenario but yeah yeah yeah so what we're doing talking about canadian truckers and we got a few more things to say about them but the uh i didn't make a call book we talked about last week and when they busted the the bridge protest. My understanding of Canadian politics and geography is so fucking terrible. I thought that was the bulk of it. But they only did the bridge and they didn't break up the Ottawa protests until Friday, which I found out because a bunch of chuds were whining online about the government being mean to them, which is just so funny. Like it's like, you're not supposed to be arrested for being protested. Motherfucker, everyone gets arrested for protests. Right. It's like, what planet are you from? Oh, God. But like, these guys

are all idiots. Like, they're so gassed up on America, like, they're tired. It's so weird, they're so dumb, their understanding of politics is really American. Like when they got arrested, there were a court followings where they're saying they were just exercising their First Amendment rights. A patron supporter, Jillian

flagged that, but it's like, what, there's no, the American constitution does not apply in Ottawa. You've got different rights there, different understanding of rights, different frameworker rights. I don't know it or understand it. I don't know how free speech works in Germany either,

because I'm not allowed to fly the Nazi flag. But, like, what the fuck do you expect, man? Yeah. I mean, again, it's like we've, talking about these guys for the past few weeks, we pointed it out multiple times, but it's like we have, we are exporting this particular type of dip shittery to other parts of the world. You know what I mean? It's like, we are the gold standard for stupid assholes, man.

Like our, our stupid assholes in this country, they fucking like the way for the rest of the Western world, stupid ass. They all look to our stupid assholes for their guiding light. And it's, it's something else. I don't want to sound like, like, everybody throughout the world, I want to sound like those people say that's outside agitators. Because like every, every person thinks that everybody can protest in their community is like an outside agitator. Like, it's like from the, you know, the FBI, thinking to the, the civil rights movement was a communist plant or that Putin thinking the CIA runs a pussy riot or this Canadians are saying this is just like the comedians have their own dumbasses.

They're gassed up on American propaganda because of American cultural hegemony or whatever. Their vocabulary for describing their frustrations is from Fox News, but they're a Canadian homegrown dipship sociopaths. So, but our people were still trying to get involved. So one thing everyone should know about this protest, it's about the vaccine mandates for truckers ostensibly is what started it, to go back and forth across the American border, which America has two. So even if they won that process, they wouldn't have fucking done anything because you got to go, border goes both ways, baby. And they blocked the bridge. So you couldn't get goods and services across anyway, right?

The people who are trying to say we need to be able to have the right to drive across the bridge that a vaccine were blocking the bridge. So what do you think Mike Lindell did, baby? Throw up this screen grab, Matt. Mike Lindell tried to get across the bridge with a truckload of pillows and somehow couldn't make it because he was not vaccinated. Did not have a piece to do you to PCR tests. So like what the fuck? I'm in awe of this guy. I know.

He was going up there to yell with them and he didn't even know what they're yelling at the thing. He also, we showed that video either last week. I think it was last week where he was talking about his plan to do this. And he even said he refused to. to mention the date on the air because he was like, they're going to try to stop us, but we're not going to let that happen. You know,

and, you know, arrested development narrator, they were stopped. Of course that didn't work, but yeah. Yeah. Poor guys. But like Americans, talking about America being protect us to reality earlier, but like we're still like,

there's like this problem happened to Canadian, conservatives in America become assessed with. So they've got to do something about it, right? So our guys are handling it totally sanely. This is a Republican Attorney General candidate in Wisconsin who says that deer hunters may be forced to invade Canada to restore liberty. Now, this is a John Candy movie from the 90s. Do you remember it? Yeah, Canadian Biking.

Yeah, Canadian Biking, yeah. Yeah, Canadian Biking, yeah. About a small-time sheriff who accidentally invades Canada and calls international incident. Now, I don't, I know that a lot of people, like their middle conception of Canada, hold their military in the highest of esteem, although they are professional soldiers who fought in World War II in Afghanistan, and then they've got a military. I don't think you can take them down with a couple fat drunk Wisconsin deer hunters, but what are I now?

No, no, but yeah, his exact tweet was, if Canadian politicians keep this crap up, but deer hunters in Wisconsin will be forced to invade and restore liberty, don't test this. All right. So everybody, take Saturday, go invade Canada and restore liberty. Yeah, I don't have to let you across the border, whether you're vaccinated or not, if you're actively hammered drunk, which I just assume every Wisconsin deer hunter is in February. So at all times, I mean, it's Wisconsin we're talking about. Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest aspect is going to be too clogged up on cheese curds. Yeah.

But anyway, I wouldn't doubt this guy wins because Wisconsin might be the craziest state in America right now. It's like Arizona was seasonal depression. They're still doing election audits. And right now, Republican state legislators are threatening to throw mayors in jail for failing to sit for fake depositions. So that's cool. But the upside is the truckers have so many fans. This is another patron, Robin, pointed out, sent this to us. So let's like going to do a truck convoy here in D.C. this week, of course.

Look forward to that, baby. Roll this video about it. Ben White and on it. Already tonight, D.C. is using trucks to block roads here. around the Capitol. I spoke to one of the organizers of the trucker convoy. He says the plan is not to occupy D.C. but shut down the highway around it. We will be along the Beltway where the Beltway will be shut down. Bob Bolus owns a towing business in Scranton and is just one of the people organizing a trucker convoy to D.C. He says the plan is to leave Pennsylvania

Wednesday morning, drive through the district, then head to the Capitol Beltway. I'll give you an analogy of that of a joint ball constrictor. Oh, who would have thought a snake? He's like, you know, matter of fact, if you look at my flag, I've got right here, just to give you a good idea of the type of animal I'm talking about, like for you to picture in your mind. This guy, Bob Bolus, Mark, he's not just a small business owner in an American. He's also a felonious dip shit, isn't that right?

Yeah, yeah. Got a bit of a track record, this guy. Yeah. Believe that or not. Thub up the screen grab, Matt. So this is really funny. It turns out he has a criminal record for insurance fraud. This is this headline says Bob Bolus family members charged in Minuteman investigation.

Now Minuteman was the name of a trucking company. His brother owned. His brother had basically put him and his family on payroll for fake jobs to get a scam health insurance. That's what they're arrested for. The fun fact was they didn't have to go arrest Bob for this because he was already in jail for a different kind of insurance fraud. So that's fun. The sad no one thing I love about this guy is he's going to go back. stop traffic on the Washington Beltway, which is like, uh, buddy, it's already stopped.

Right. Yeah. Like stopping it on the 405 at rush hour. Yeah. Yeah, it's like, you go to be like, dog, damn, this traffic's so bad. I can't even get to the spot. Can't get to my lockdown. Yeah.

I can't get to my traffic shutdown protest because I'm stuck in traffic. Yeah. So his runings with the law include accepting stolen vehicles, insurance fraud, and also previously blocking roads with his trucks, um, not to make some grand political statement just because he's an. asshole who blocked his neighbor's property. Yeah. So he's like, he's a tow truck driver. So he has a penchant for just blocking people's driveway and blocking shit up with vehicles. So dude, when this whole thing started to go down,

you know this guy had to be like, my time has come. You know what I'm saying? It's my superpower. It's like this is what I've been, my whole life has been leading up to this moment. Yeah. It's like, like, I try to imagine like a like a modern conservative Ocean's 11. It's like, okay, we got a crypto guy. We got a. scam guy. We got a truck clogging up guy. We got a truck clogging up guy. Yeah, we got, we got Rand Paul's neighbor beating the shit out of people.

Yeah. This dude has made the news for truck clogging before. He's been recognized by the news for clogging shit up with his truck. You put that up there, Matt, if you got it. This is a different third time. He did this by accident. Track the trailer

advertising Trump gets stuck on bridge. He paid all his whole fleet of trucks to have Trump for president on it in 2015, 2016. Yeah, that's from the 2016 election. If you're only listening, it's a big Trump semi truck, big tractor trailer with Trump for president on it, stuck comically on a bridge, just pissing everybody off. Yeah. He's also an aspiring politician himself, and this just really made me laugh. This is a court, real court case where he sued to try to be able to run for mayor.

He can't run because he's considered a felon making him ineligible to run for mayor. But according to court documents, Bolus argues that just because he may be ineligible to hold office, does not mean they cannot run for office. He just want to get out there to run around. He's not going to ride as an American to get my ass whipped in this goddamn election, okay? You let me go out there get my ass whipped like a man.

I mean, going back to the insurance fraud thing, having jobs he doesn't go to get to go to is kind of his whole fucking thing. Yeah. So, yeah. Yeah. So that's Bob Bolus, the leader of the truck convoy

slash felon slash imaginary mayor of, uh, of Scranton. Oh, the Scrant thing reminded me there's another thing I forgot to put in here, but he has had lost unsuccessful court cases to keep,

Scranton is famously Joe Biden's birthplace. So when he got like the president or vice president or whatever, they named a couple roads after him, he has followed multiple lawsuits to try to keep those names to be named after Joe Biden. So.

Oh, all right. Let's say here. Our next arm will mention, anyone who thought, the already infamous Ohio congressional race, Republican primary specifically, would not at some point turned into a literal dick measuring contest. But the person who started it may surprise some of you. Let's say it here, Matt. Throw it up there. I'm Jane Timkin. We all know guys who overcompensate for their inadequacies, and that description

fits the guys in the Senate race to a T. I'm different. I'm the MAGA conservative with a backbone. As you're GOP chairman, I turned to Ohio into Trump country. So it focuses on J.D. Vance. That's funny. Also, but it's like, I bet Vance and Mandel and then they got to bet. They're just like, this hand, well, she ain't even got no dick.

Like, how's it? Sure, I got a tiny dick, but like, she don't even have one. Like, what is she talking about? This is not fair. This cannot stand. I just like there's a bipartisan. in consensus now that Jady has a little dick. It has a little big, yeah.

You can all agree. I don't have anything much to say about this video, except that race is crazy. I hope they all lose. But cheers to that lady for speaking truth to power. Speaking truth to a guy with no fucking power. Such a fucking train wreck already, because that's the same race with the dude. One of the other front runners, Trump won't endorse him because he thinks he's into butt stuff or whatever it is.

He thinks he's a weirdo sex pervert or something. And he tells everybody at Mar-a-Lago that. And then you got this lady coming through. with the just talking by everybody's tiny little penis it's uh it's getting weird up there in ohio everybody getting weird everywhere uh not just ohio let's do this last one we'll get through this quick but i'm definitely i refuse to not cover this one uh this last honorable mention here for daily dumbass was suggested by our patreon supporter angela bo bangela and uh it is something else and it is uh 12 year old girls in oklahoma for not being able to hang with congenital

congressional candidate Abby Broils. So Abby Broils reportedly got hammered drunk and verbally accosted children at a Valentine's Day party. Now, who among us? You know what I mean? I had a little sister. Sometimes she'd have sleepovers. They'd get mouthy. You know, you got, you just got to sometimes you got to light into them. Of course, I was 15 at the time and not a, you know, fully grown adult running for public office. That changes the context a little bit. But what had happened was at the night of February 11th, there was eight girls between the ages of 12 and 13 having a sleepover. Broyles was at the home, the night of the party, at the invitation of the homeowner, who's the mother of one of these little girls. So according to multiple accounts, Abby Broyles got very intoxicated and started talking shit to these children.

They were trying to watch Titanic while she was doing this, is an important bit of color. She called one girl an acne fucker, which prompted the girl to leave the room in tears. She then called another girl a Hispanic fucker and a third girl a judgy fucker. Bunch of fucking fuckers run around this place right now. Like, uh, yeah, this is, you know. There's the best part, Troy. At one point, broil's allegedly vomited into a laundry basket only to one girl's shoes. this is a rough night dude yeah like dude i don't care it's like she's going through a divorce or

something god damn this is she's on one buddy yeah here's the plot twist ray she's a democrat that's right this kind of literacy you i mean she's she's she's an oklahoma democrat she's probably still to the right of like until the hunt but this is very much like suburban feudal lord behavior that we talk about like bob bolus guy and all those other fuck it's like these guys yeah I mean, the good news is, like, she's run for office before, and she's running in the most, most Democratic district in Oklahoma, which means it's only Trump plus, like, eight. So she's definitely getting her ass kicked, but. Right. Yeah.

Well, yeah. Let the record show that we, uh, we are non-discriminatory when it comes to Mike. We're nonpartisan here at the skews when it comes to making fun of dumbasses. Everybody, like, we didn't skip over this because she's a Democrat. Hell no, not our style. She got drunk and yelled at kids. Also, I'm not above calling a 12-year-old girl a judgy fuck. So there you go.

But also, and I- that little girl was being a judgy fuck. You ever seen how 12-year-old girls can look at you sometimes, dude? Pretty judgmentally. Okay? That's all I'm saying. They can get very judgmental when you throw up on their shoes. Start throwing race around and making them cry. Yeah.

They tend to get judgy when it comes as such as that. Okay. Well, you know, we've had some fun, so let's get into the main story. all right i'm fired up for this fucking shit tray this is in this is the one of those maddening things uh that we talked about west i think i've said that three weeks in a row it keeps getting worse so um okay so i think you and i most people can agree and the old thomas jefferson quote that uh you know would agree to that it's sitting innocent people to jail don't hit generally bad i've always said sending innocent people jail don't hit my whole life i've

said that i've said it i've said it publicly it's not good i'm not forward. We all heart the Thomas Jefferson quote. It's better than 10 guilty men go free than citizen. I think it's Thomas Jefferson. I don't know. It's a famous quote. We all heard it. So the context for this is one thing Joe Biden, the Biden administration has been pretty good at is filling court vacancies and filling them with people whose ideologies and resumes don't usually get them appointed to judgeships. Judges are usually appointed from think tanks, colleges, and prosecutorial, prosecutors offices. And invariably, they're, um, prosecutors are cruel and the other, everyone else sees the law from like a 30,000 foot remove, like you're sitting on a cloud and everything you're talking about is just theoretical.

I didn't know that and I'm not really surprised by it just because of how overall, like, generally conservative our whole country is and especially the criminal justice system. But like, that's really fucked up that that is true, that there, that so few judges have spent any time doing any kind of criminal defense work or criminal defense law. like that's absurd like it it shouldn't happen like Amy Barrett I might have the detail but she was like a clerk for a judge went and taught at Notre Dame then Trump appointed her to a lower court and then she got to the high court like she's never as to my knowledge never tried a case never practiced law and wasn't a judge until she was a federal appellate judge

she never heard like a criminal trial right so so when Biden took over 30% of federal judges have been appointed by Trump. Biden also only had 49 vacancies to fill, less than half the number that Trump started with. But they started off fast and confirmed judges from diverse backgrounds. He's got more nominees confirmed through the Senate

than any president at this point his first term in decades. About half the 61 judges, he's nominated at the lower courts have been confirmed. A larger share than Trump or former President Barack Obama. So that's the context for what you're about to see. And what you're about to see is Ted Cruz

and I forgot Tom Cotton did this too, if he's on if he's in this clip, but being an epic evil shit lord, play this video, Matt. How do you keep advising radical district attorneys who let violent criminals go and result in homicide rates skyrocketing? Do you care about the innocent people being killed because of the policies you're implementing? Absolutely, Senator. And to clarify my role in those transition committees were only on the issue of what's called conviction integrity, not the front end prosecution policies, but on the review of old cases. That is the limited capacity on which I worked.

I played no role in formulating the front-end policies, but it is because when the wrong person is convicted of murder, the person who's actually committed the crime isn't brought to justice. All right. That's Nina Morrison. Biden is nominated her to the Eastern District, a U.S. District Corps for the Eastern District of New York. Her career background is as such.

She began a legal career as a law clerk. She was an investigator with a California Appellate Project, which represented California death row inmates in post-conviction proceedings. She then went to private practice for a little while, focusing on civil rights litigation. She then joined the Innocence Project in 2002, and it has since worked as an executive director and senior litigation counsel, and it's helped have been lead or co-counsel in cases that have freed more than 30 innocent people from prison and death row. Right.

That is why Ted Cruz is. mad at her and he's trying to blame her for what he's calling air quote skyrocketing crime rates because one of the things she's done is offered on a serve of advisory panels for the slew of progressive prosecutors who have been elected around the country talking about Larry Krasner in Philadelphia here in L.A. We got Gascon. There's a guy in New York. Everyone's mad at. But what she's saying is I didn't advise them on front-end prosecution policy. I'm telling them how to clean up the conviction integrity in it to make sure they didn't convict innocent people. Right. Her whole thing, her whole life for the past two years has been dedicated solely to

getting wrongly convicted people out of prison and off of death row. That's her whole deal. And somehow she has become the primary target of this like law and order witch hunt or whatever they're going on. They're blaming her for skyrocketing crime rates and all this shit. And I just don't, I don't know how, is it that they know that people, that a lot of people just won't check or care what they're talking about so they can just say this shit and people are like, oh, do you hear she lets murderers out on the street or whatever? Because it's just, it's such a brazenly shitty thing to do or a line of questioning to pursue with this woman specifically given what her life's work has been. well i mean it's ideal it's they're not just shit posting they're not just fucking trolling they actually but conservative is for a long time we'll talk about anthony and sclea in a little bit but they actually think it's a waste of time and effort to bother trying to free us of people

because the the process has run out and now it's like what's like why are we wasting time doing this who cares about a few people crushed by the system right right it's also i bet some of them are probably like well listen if you've been in one of our prisons you know whether you're interested or not once you go in there you come out you're going to be a criminal. Like, you know, that's what we do. That's what our prisons do. We make people worse. So you send an innocent man in there. Well, you can't let him out after that because now he's going to stab people and stuff because that's what happens to a person when they go to a fucking American prison. Here's like, this line, this is from a blog I read on lawyers, lawyers guns and money. But this line is like really hit for me. I was like, but Republicans, the dissented on the Judiciary Committee went after Morrison as if she had committed the crimes or claims. were convicted of, convicted of, that they didn't actually commit either. Right.

That's the fucking point. Right. Yeah. No one involved this committed a crime. But these guys, they're, they're, all right. These guys, they also have gotten, like, they've gotten hopped up on any sort of criminal justice reform. They're so racist, they think it gives them the ability to time travel.

If you play this video of Josh Halley, man. Tom Cotton. cotton. It's your party that voted in lockstep for the first step act that let thousands of violent felons back on the street who have now committed innumerable violent crimes. Democrats did the first step act. The Republicans were in a majority. It was a bill sponsored by Senator Grassley, Durbin, Lee, and many others. And who signed it into law? Donald Trump signed it into law, the so-called Democratic measure. it's so funny because that's like you know it in cotton's head and they're just like well that can't be right

that can't be right because i've decided that this thing is a bad thing and so it had to be the democrats who did it like because they're the party of bad things like we're talking about something that puts criminals on the street the democrats they're the criminal they're the party of criminals So it's automatic that this, you know, this bill equals Democrats, even though that's literally not what happened. And literally, the first step act is like one of the things that everyone should remember from the Trump administration, because that's why Kim Kardashian was in the White House all the time, right? It's like it's one of the main things that people know about it was Kim Kardashian went to the White House and they made friends with Kanye. So core arguments are often abstract. They want to be that way.

We've talked about before, right? So let's like talk about the human face of this. Here's an interview with a client that Morrison got exonerated. His name is Keith Bush. This is on a PBS interview with Christian Almanpore. You won't hear her talking because it's his story. But she's sitting there. Just how does it feel to be a free man and to have nothing anymore hanging over your head?

Well, you know, for me it's a process. When you do so many years of incarceration for something you didn't do, the trauma, you know, remains at the core. of your being. But when you're able to overturn your conviction and enjoy the feeling of freedom, you know, it's something that I have to, you know, just take it step by step because I still feel the traumas of my past. Can you take me back all those years ago? You're 62 years old now. You were 17 when this happened. What do you remember from when the police first knocked on your door and when this nightmare started for you? Well, there's a lot of memories associated with that.

And the first thing I remembered is a terrible tragedy that occurred in my community. And it was my responsibility as well as the responsibility of the people in the community to find out what help and to try to help find out who did this terrible thing to show us once. All right, you can cut it, Matt. so cops went to his door he's 17 they tell him that a woman he knew got murdered he volunteered for questioning

because he wanted to help and they locked him up basically kidnapped him with no due process beat a confession out of him made him sign it he spent 33 fucking years in prison until she managed to get a DNA test that set him free 100% guarantee you that in addition to beating him

they also flat out lied about what was going to happen when he signs that confession like I guarantee it was present not only was he beating into it, but it was also presented to him as I, like, look, this is, we're trying to help you out with this. You sign this and we can get you out of here type of thing. And then they locked him up for 33

years. That's why, like, don't don't fuck with the cops for nothing if you ain't got a lawyer there with you. I don't, like, ever. My pillbelly mama taught me that. If you, yeah, ask for a lawyer, guys.

Don't take legal advice from me, but every lawyer I've ever talked to has told me get a, the cops want to talk to you, sure, let me get a lawyer, let me get a lawyer, let me get a lawyer, let me get a lawyer, let me get a lawyer, let me get a lawyer, let me get a lawyer, let me get a lawyer, let me get a lawyer, let me get a lawyer, um, uh, this guy happens to be white, but this guy named Michael morton spent 25 years in prison for the murder of his wife, Christine, for he's exonerated by DNA evidence in 2011. Um, the former DA, his name was Ken Anderson. entered a plea deal of a criminal contempt for deliberately withholding its sculptory evidence pointing to his innocence. Part of the evidence was that his three-year-old son was at home at the time.

It watched his mom got beat to death and told the cops that his dad wasn't there. This is all around awful. The DNA evidence that cleared Morton implicated another man who had been tied to a similar Texas murder that occurred two years after the murder of Morton's wife. So now this woman, get this dude out of prison,

she solves the case for the cops a case that they refused to solve. When they were sitting on DNA evidence, they refused to test, and their fuck up caused another person to get murdered that wouldn't have if they'd let the wrong guy out and arrested the right guy. Now, here's the part that really flipped my blood, two things that really made about blood boil.

When they started trying to, the Innocence Project got involved and started trying to get the DNA at the crime scene tested, the prosecution went back to him and said, oh, actually, we'll let you out. if you, um, if you, uh, say you're sorry. Yeah. And his response. After 23 years, right?

Yeah. Was fuck you. It's like, I'm not going to say that I killed my wife. I did not do it. You guys are wrong. I'm not begging your forgiveness for something I didn't do. Right. He said, he said, my,

my innocence is literally the only thing I have left. That's that, you know, like, because he's been wrongly locked up for 23 years at that point. He was like, literally, that's all I got left. So. no i ain't doing it fuck them which yeah dude that takes like that's a seriously high level of integrity right there man it's easy it's easy for a lot of people to be like yeah you know fuck that stand you i'd do the same thing but like when you've already been locked up for 23 fucking years for something you didn't do like it's you know that's uh that's big shit man

here's the second thing that made me furious uh the prosecutor the guy who caught this guy whatever, however many years of his life and got that other person killed by not solving the case he was paid to solve because he didn't want to mess up his own record. He, after he pled guilty to what he did wrong, he served only 10 days in jail and paid a $500 fine

for stealing three decades of this guy's life. Right. He had, as a reminder, he had and withheld evidence which could have cleared this guy because like you said, he didn't want to fucking lose. You know, it's like, it's more important to him that I win and the right thing happens here. the real killer ended up killing somebody else this dude loses you know three decades of his life

or whatnot this this prosecutor gets caught for it but his entire punishment is 10 days in jail and a 500 fine ain't that America yeah bro another fun fact fucked up with the job he had to resign from when he got convicted was judge he had been promoted to judge course it was he was a judge and they're all judges uh this is according this is from washington Post article. I'm surprised he wasn't a senator, dog. I can't believe you. High-ranking GOP party whip or something with fucking that kind of track record. Yeah. I'm like that.

Talking about the makeup of the federal courts, this is from a Washington Post opinion piece about this. Former prosecutor, according to 2021 study, former prosecutors and government attorneys outnumber former defense and civil rights attorneys on the federal bench, but about seven to one. There hasn't been anyone in the Supreme Court with significant criminal defense experience in 30 years. So crazy to me. Tom Cotton berated Morrison for representing Liddell Lee, an Arkansas

man who was executed in 2017. Four years after the execution, testing found DNA on the murder weapon that belonged to neither Lee nor the victim. So he was attacking a woman for trying to get a guy off who did get executed whose scenes was innocent. Right.

He was convicted based on eyewitness testimony, which by the way is really unreliable, which anyone who's had faulty, I have faulty memories all the time. I have to look up with the other. It's crazy to me that that shit still flies the way it does. I witness testimony, I mean, because it's just been proven to be bullshit so many times already. But, you know, somebody got to pay.

He has got to got to roll. Somebody got to get locked up for this shit. Yeah. But when you see the court, when you see the law as like theoretical in politics as a sport, things look different because this is all this is from that same piece. but the people Morrison freed from prison have little time for politics is sport time is what was taken from them

her nomination of the federal bench is a validation that their suffering mattered that should some wrongly convicted prisoner try to raise an innocence claim in the future and there would at least be one more voice in the federal bench willing to take them seriously. Right. Like you know this,

you know that this lady is not going to take lightly any type of sentencing. You know what I mean? Like she's proven and far and beyond already at this point that, like, she's going to do her due diligence and make sure to the very best of her ability that the sentences handed out are right and appropriate and that there is any kind of fuckery at all.

She ain't going to stand for it, which is the type of judge I would think most people should want. Like, if you were in a trial, you'd want to judge like that. Yeah. I want to judge to I think the baseline for what a judge should be is to remember the decisions you make affect your actual people. They're not just debate room arguments about like I keep going like the word theoretical, but this isn't all like just thought experiment stuff.

Real people's lives are changed and altered and destroyed based upon the stuff you decide. And that's what they're afraid of. They don't want a human being on the judge. They want a federalist society goon who's never had a real job who thinks about the law like it's a like a what is the sound of one hand clapping type thing. Right. Yeah. Thought experiment or something. Philosophical arguments and shit. So that's what makes all this like cohesive. That's what they want. That's why this lady bothers them is because she sees defendants as real people. And this is the bigger picture here for how they staff the courts. And this is like this story went viral the other day. But there was a debate among GOP attorney general hopefuls. And they all said they would overturn Griswold v. Connecticut, which is the law that.

lets you buy birth control. Griswold v. Connecticut was, I'm not a law scholar, so forgive the broad strokes here, but was a case that said that married people could buy birth control because the decisions they make about childbearing and their own sex liens or their own. It was where it was a Supreme Court first came up the idea that you have basic right to privacy and that's what led to Roe v. Wade. The justice of the Supreme Court looked at the through line of the bill of rights and decided,

it looks like here the founders intended if you have the right to be left the fuck alone, And instead, that includes the government can't tell you not to use the birth control pill. And that also got extended to the goal. The government can tell you and your doctor, you shouldn't have an abortion. So that led to that. So that's why they want ghouls here, forget that these are these are the inspect real people. So how familiar are you with the, with a lot, do you hear of the Lochner era, Trey? No.

On the Supreme Court. So real quick, coming out of the Gilded Age, the Supreme Court got taken over by people like Amy Cody Barrett and Neil Gorsuch. And they rolled back everywhere. worker protection, you can imagine. They found a right to make contracts in the 14th Amendment. What that mean was that, basically, if you chose to work for somebody, that was between you and them.

There are no workplace safety standards. You can go to work as an 11-year-old. You can work 90 hours a week. The guy, Lochner himself owned a bakery, and he was trying to battle back a law that kept his bakers from sleeping in the bakery and working more than like 80 hours a week or whatever. So the reason you don't see 12-year-olds working construction jobs is because we forced that court to dial their shit back because FDR threatened to pack their courts and they

fucking stopped being ghouls. All right. Yeah, well, Mark, I don't have you noticed, but a lot of drive-thrus are closed and stuff right now, okay? Yeah. It's hard for people to find workers. So I feel like it's about time to roll these 12-year-olds back out there. Funny enough, Trey, if you wonder where this stuff is going and why the battle the courts

are getting so continuous. Wisconsin, here's a headline from Business Insatter. Wisconsin Senate approves a bill allowing 14-year-olds to work as late at 11-year-year-olds to work as late at 11 p.m. And supporters say it could help plug the labor shortage. I'm sure it could. Or you could raise the fucking minimum wage instead of making 14-year-olds. Literally, like, you know what help this labor shortage problem?

If we had just child labor, you know, matter of fact, child slaves, could we do that? Can children be slaves? Because we should look into that. That's what the bees that was in them were saying sitting around their fucking, you know, a roundtable on a boat with fucking mask on and shit. It's ridiculous, man. So, yeah. So if it's not just in your head, things are getting worse, and it's largely, largely because of our legal regime, and Republicans think it hits, and anyone who tries to stop it, like this Nina Morrison lady, don't hit for them. And this is like in the context of what's happening in the courts, by the way. This is a headline from Slate. Thursday was one of the most radical days for the federal courts in years.

I made two big decisions. One, they found an imaginary law that says that judges can block a private company's vaccine mandate on the grounds of religious discrimination because you have a right to work at Arby's, even if you have a made up a fake religion that said you don't get a vaccine. scenes. Even the right-wing judge on the court issued a dissent calling an orgy of jurispruditional violence, which is a great turn of phrase. And that guy was appointed by Reagan, I think. And a few hours later, a district court judge just made up a rule that no one can sue under the Voting Rights Act except for the United States Attorney General. So if we stay past a fucked-up law that says you can't vote, you can't sue. You've got to hope a Democrats in office who wants as Attorney General to fight for you. Otherwise, you're fucked.

Yeah. So, and also today, this from today, by the way, they took a court, they took a case about gay rights that could, remember the famous wedding cake baking case? Yeah, of course, yeah. All right. Well, that cake decided into a debate about whether, whether making cakes is speech, right? And basically the reason they said you've got to make the cakes is because they couldn't come up with an argument.

You can talk about this stuff's theoretical. They basically decided they're making a cake isn't speech, so you've got to make the cake. So he wants to make the cake. And that was five to four, I think, only because Anthony Kennedy decided that making a cake isn't a political statement. But this is about a woman who makes wedding websites, which is transparently speech. They're basically going to, they got a second bite to Apple to say, you don't have to provide services for gay people if you don't want to. And I guarantee they're going to fucking do it, baby. And in just case if you wonder, by the way, there's a context for this.

When people say the courts are in political, you should know that Jenny Thomas, Clarence Thomas's wife is running around still trying to overturn the 2020 election. And going back to this is, these guys aren't just shitposting or whatever. It's one last thing and we'll get out of here. Anton Scalia wrote a famous opinion holding that actual innocence is not a reason to be let out of jail. Yeah. He won. The guy, the guy he said who's actually innocent is. We know some black people are innocent, right?

We've got to have some way to keep them locked up. You know, what else we're supposed to do? He won and that guy had executed because the wheel of the justice must keep turning, baby, even if they're rolling in the wrong direction and rolling over a bunch of innocent people. So fucked up. Now we're taking a time. All right. We are not,

we still will be in the future, still going to be doing comments and stuff and all that. We just got, we're on one tonight. We're running long. And I knew once we got to the main segment there that Mark was going to go in, because it is something to get fired up about. But anyway,

that's all that happened. We ran a little long today, but we do want to remind y'all, once again, we have started a skews, Patreon. And we already put a thing out there on it. You go to weekly skews.com slash more or if you're on Patreon, you can just search for me and you'll find it. Last week, we did a thing, an episode on the war on drugs and the Republicans convincing

themselves that Joe Biden is hosting a free crack giveaway. So that was fun. Yeah. We also dug into George H.D. Bush holding up a bag of crock in the Oval Office on national television, which is the how we got. Got it. And it was all very, you know, would have been whimsical and comically ridiculous if it wasn't also infuriating, which is a theme around here, am I right? But anyway, so yeah, holler at us on there. You get this extra stuff. You've seen us shout some people out on the show, some Patreon supporters.

That's because they, you know, hit us up with suggestions. We're doing that on there, too, taking suggestions, shout outs, Q&A's, all that stuff. So join the conversation and holler at us on Patreon. And yeah, we're going to keep that ball rolling. We're having a good time with it. And finally, lastly, one last time, if you want to see me live, go to well-read comedy.com, be in Knoxville, back home, baby, on March 5th and some other fun places.

After that, thank you guys very much. See you all on Patreon, I hope. And either way, we'll see you right back here next week. Love you.
