Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews - 4/02/24 – The War on Easter (?!)

Episode Date: April 3, 2024

On tonight’s episode we discuss, among many other hilariously stupid things, the right’s wholly manufactured panic about a supposed War on Easter being launched by the Biden Administration. Why? Well, a couple of different years-old policies pre-dating and having less than nothing to do with the Biden Administration, of course. Join us. Support the show

what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you it's april second twenty twenty four i'm tray that's mark how you doing there mark good buddy uh we talked about easter today i was her easter did you have a you found some eggs we were moving the whole day so at the end of the day i gave my son's e j reese's peanut butter cup rabbit and said happy easter sorry you had to spend it moving but you know know they're old enough they're 11 and 12 they need to learn how to move couches and shit like that so it's fine so yeah we didn't I mean I'm you know it'll surprise no one to hear I'm not the biggest Easter fan I feel like even before I like fell completely out of

love with the Lord at 11 or whenever that happened even before that I never really fucked with Easter that much I don't I don't know I don't care too much for past stales eggs hit I like eggs but rabbits plus eggs I don't know it just you know It was kind of never my thing. Where do you stand on peeps? Because I always hated peeps. It's like it's like it feels like the texture like you're eating an actual baby chick and I just don't. Well, I've heard and it's funny because I have heard this for years, but I have never really tried it because I've never been a peeps fan too.

So I've never cared enough about this advice to put it to the test. But I've heard that like apparently if you let peeps get a little bit stale, if you leave them open for a couple of days, I get a little bit stale, the texture greatly improves and they head harder that way. but I don't know. Also, I want to let everybody know this is weekly skews. It wouldn't be weekly skews if we weren't having some minor technical issues. We got some problems with Mark's microphone, so he's on a secondary mic right now. So if he sounds a little different, that's why. But we're doing our best.

I'm also glad Mark that it happens to be April 2nd instead of April 1st. Because, like, if we're doing the show on April 1st, I feel the whole thing would be coated by this paint, this, you know, this tinge of like, is this real? did this happen because that's what April 1st is, which I find annoying. Yeah, I feel about April. I feel about April Fool's Day, how you feel about religious holidays. It's just like,

this is a bunch of bullshit. I also do. Yeah. So a couple things before we get to show. Ted Cruz sits on whatever committee with like handles like must approve FAA bills and he instantly try to sneak in a provision that would require

lawmakers to get police escorts through airports. This is three years after he got caught to Cancun. So Ted Cruz tried to pass the don't spit on Ted Cruz in the Airport Act, which I found hilarious. Oklahoma's GOP Attorney General asked the court to be able to slow down their pace of executions for every night. They were trying to do 25 in three years and they got approved like only do once every two months.

This is for the mental health of the people to work at the correctional facility. Right. And it turns out every 60 days is still way too hard on them because they're still getting PTSD and depression and shit. So he asked them to expand it to 90 so they can have more time to recover. between you know having to kill people right and the judge told them to quote suck it up yeah yeah you would think that like that should be indicative of something to people the the fact that like corrections officers who work in having to execute prisoners on death row regardless whatever their

crimes were that they are struggling mightily with the burden of having to do that and are asking can we please just do, can we please kill a person once every three months instead of once every two months? And America's like, her, Oklahoma's at least, is like, hell no,

goddamn suck it up. Like, that whole thing, I feel like should send a message to some people about the reality of capital punishment, but I'm sure that's not going to actually happen. Yeah, the,

I've mentioned, like, I feel like it's under, every time we talk about the death penalty, I try to bring this stuff how hard it is and the people that are we tasked to do it for not, you know, great wage.

not that that wage is the most important part of it but I'm saying like you know it's like everything costs and the the idea that like what they're almost trying to do is like they're literally trying to kill half the people on their death row in three years like that was their goal it's like we got to clear half these people out to make her all this inventory must go come on down to crazy death penalties right yeah right yeah everything must go uh and it's like the judge who told him to suck it up he's like a weird psycho like he's he has like a bunch of rulings that he put the N-word in. Now, like, fully spelled out, hard-ar and everything.

He's quoting people for, like, sentencing and stuff. But we know what you don't have to be doing that. Like, he just likes, all these people are such fucking weirdos, man. Another legal news that judge ruled last week, the Georgia Republican Party's first vice chairman, a guy named Brian Kay Pritchard, violating state election laws when he voted nine times while serving probation for a felony check forgery.

now that sounds more ridiculous than it is because what he did was he didn't complete his probation he started voting in 2009 but didn't complete it until like 2012 so it wasn't nine times in one election I was trying off hoping that was it because that would have been really fucking funny right but it was spread out over like three years uh but anyway he's the guys that won't surprise you he's a big election denier who's really into election fraud uh in every sense of the word uh was it was it the day where he's like I'm you know He's a felon, but I'm sure he considers himself an unjust situation when it comes to being a felon. And also, he's a white man.

So, like, in his mind, he was just voting whenever it was time to vote because he should have the right to vote. He wasn't considering what the laws actually were. Or was it him maliciously voter frauding? He said he was just confused about his probation status, which I don't know how you're confused by your probation status because you've got to go meet with your probation officer regularly. But anyway, it's like, you're right. It's like, we talk about this a lot. but, like, criminals aren't people who commit crime, but they're people who look different than me.

And why doesn't the judge understand that? Right. Update on the Singaporean boat that crashed into the bridge in Baltimore last week we talked about. The company that owns that just cited a law from 1851 Maritime Law to cap their liability at $44 million, which is like the phrase 1851 Maritime Law is funny to me because under 1851 Maritime Law is funny to me, because under 1851 Maritime Law, it's probably legal to have, like, no less than three sex slaves per ship or something. Right. But so capital liability, okay, so they want to cap their $44 million.

As of right now, they're already $2 to $4 billion in insurable losses. It doesn't count cost larger economy, just insurance claims are going to be filed. Six people dead, and they want to cap it $44 million. Also, the company responsible for the bridge collapse that ran that ship blocked its employees reporting safety concerns for the Coast Guard and is now being sanctioned by federal regulators for violating whistleblower protection laws. And so with all the conspiracy theories that have risen up around this, what drives me crazy about conspiracy theories is they ignore the obvious ones for ridiculous ones. And if you want a conspiracy theory, here it is, you've got a company that punished dissent to escape regulation. and then when your corner-cutting kills people, you've already rigged the tort law

so you pay pennies for your malfeas. Right. Right. Yes, right. Yeah, it's like, yes, we need more and more stringently enforced regulations. And that would help. But the idea that they use money in a plutocracy to skirt those regulations, which ultimately leads to shit like this,

I don't know if that's boring to them. I guess it just doesn't fit their narrative or whatever, but it's got to be like, no, Joe Biden. Biden is woke magneto. That's what actually happened. Yes, yes. Woke magnetos would happen. Yeah, petitioning the government

to redress your grievances with regard to a lack of regulation about big corporations, that's boring. So let's make it like aliens, right? Let's make it cue stuff or whatever. It's just like China hacked the ship's navigation. It's got to be that, right? It can't be.

Anyway, another update. We talked last week about Trump media, Trump social was owned by Trump media merging with some like other companies. They put a bunch of cash in Donald Trump's pockets as he needs to pay his bond to keep his property should be undre possessed, confiscated. So the ruse has already fallen apart because unfortunately Trump media had to release financial reports. So the stock fell 21% yesterday and Trump lost a billion dollars in paper money in a single day.

What they had to reveal was that they disclosed. the $58 million net loss in 2023 for just four point on just $4.1 million in total revenue. It also lost momentum. Like, their financial situation is getting worse. It only generated $750 grand and fourth quarter revenue last year. Now, see, here, like, the only place I'm confused about this is I thought this was like, I thought all that that you just said was like known before the IPO or whatever. Like I remember last week when it was coming, they were talking about the launch of it and

happening. People were saying, like, this company's only got. X million in revenue, whatever, I thought, like, this makes it sound like this came out and was surprising to people, which caused the stock to plummet, but I thought everybody already knew it was horseshit to begin with. Right. Because you had their fourth quarter, you had their, like, you know, reports from like other quarterly disclosures, right? But this is this the most recent one that showed it wasn't getting better. In fact, it was getting worse. But like, it's a meme stock. So none of this,

like it dropped like, it was back up three dollars today. Like, it soared to like $71, dropped like 51 out of like a day it's back at the 54 but like the thing about this is like it's cemented meme stocks is the thing that exists in the reality because the term wasn't invented until 2021 we talked about the reddit game stop shit that's probably my favorite episode we ever did was trying to figure out what the hell was going on there and making fun of the rich people that were losing their shirts because they were getting fucked with uh but the idea that you could do meme stock stuff as a donation to a wealthy guy who's just cash strapped is like yeah I'm not sure the, you know, the SEC ever foresaw anything.

Right, because that's kind of, I mean, that's kind of what this is, right? It's like a workaround for being able to give money to Donald Trump essentially without, you know, any of the restrictions that come with the formal process of doing it for political reasons or whatnot. But also, like, Craig me if I'm wrong, and I'm very possibly am because I'm so Wall Street dumb. But, like, I know the value of this is down a billion dollars today, but, like, even if it falls further, the cliff is pretty far to where he would actually have some kind of significant loss from this, right? Because it's all just kind of made up to prop him up financially, isn't it? So even if the value falls, it still is kind of starting from nothing because it's all just mystical hood, Harry Potter shit.

Do you know what I'm saying? So, like, even if it falls further, he's still going to come out into black as a result. of it. So he got someone to give him a $175 million bond. I think a guy's like a subprime auto lender or whatever. Some guy like his company, but I think you put the stock up for collateral. So if this stock drops far enough, he could have to find some other money to just to, you know, to not to keep his bond. But this guy's doing, he's got to give him a bond as a favor. So I doubt he would call it in. But anyway, so two guys are already maybe headed to jail over this deal. It just happened last week. These two guys were, I guess, friends with the guys.

guy who owned the company that merged at Truth Social, got told for insider trading and also money laundering on something else. But like they tried to do a $22 million deal to profit off their insider knowledge and immediately got caught. I just think it's so funny that these guys, rich people can get away with almost anything, and they're all still constantly getting arrested. Right. Right.

That kind of makes sense, though, I think. You know what I mean? Because they get more and more emboldened by that fact. Like the fact that they get away with so much, you know, At a certain point, you stop believing you'll ever get called to task for anything. So you try more and more ridiculous shit, you know what I'm saying? But I mean, you know, good. Like, I hope that happens more.

That's Trump, Trump's whole complaint about selective prosecution. He was like, what do you mean I'm in trouble for this? I've been doing this illegal shit my whole life. Exactly. Right. Exactly. And like, I think on our Patreon episode, I think we showed a clip of Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank or whatever. And his whole, he's like furious on Fox News.

who's on this big tirade about it's like listen all these things that trump is that they're like trying to charge trump with in court every single financier and real estate developer in new york on wall street has been doing this for 40 years and it was never a problem before and it's like well well maybe it should be you know but that's kind of indicative of what you've almost you've almost figured it out kevin you've almost figured it out yeah all right let's move on producer mad is with us doing our thing.

The just announced War on Easter. Can't Wake to sign up as a three-tour veteran of the War on Christmas. I look forward to offering my services to this right. just and just calls. But yes, the Biden administration, in case you missed it. Matt, is Trey frozen for you or am I frozen? Okay, so Trey's frozen. Trey was announcing, I don't know if he's leaving or coming back.

All right, so, all right, tonight we're talking to the war on Easter, as Trey was saying. The Biden administration did absolutely nothing with posting social media, like a three-sentence thing, saying something nice about trans people about on a day that happened to be Easter. You know, they also posted a bunch of nice stuff about Easter because Joe Biden's very Catholic and the world went to hell

in the conservative media that's what we're talking about hopefully trail will be back in a minute he says he thinks he's back you don't let me know about there he is am I back? Yeah I was about to call

the Daily Dumbass graphic I don't know no idea what happened I don't know where I got cut off either but let's just go ahead and start with the Daily Dumbass sorry about that y'all Matt hit the graphic please tonight's

D, anyone who thinks foreign spies can see through this impenetrable disguise is from 60 minutes. Continue in a moment. One of them is Carrie. We're disguising her and not using her last name because she's still an FBI agent working in counterintelligence. She says in 2021 she was home in Florida when she was hit by a crippling force. And bam, inside my right ear, it was like a dentist drilling on steroids. That feeling... Pause it, Matt.

That's just in a wig. Right. Do you know what I'm saying? I was going to ask, like, to try to give, I guess, the FBI and 60 minutes the benefit of the doubt, is this some kind of like, ostensibly, is this some like Mission Impossible type shit where they've, like, used the power of prosthetics? Because I'll say, Mark, I don't know if you've been on TikTok recently, There's some people out there doing wild stuff with makeup.

Makeup technology has come along. Well, I saw a white girl turn herself into Kobe Bryant the other day. It's wild using just makeup. So I didn't know if like, that's what they did here. They could use a Snapchat filter on her to would have been more effective than whatever this is. Right. So 60 minutes to this big piece, they tout it is like the real truth behind Havana syndrome. Now, Havana syndrome, if you guys, like, this is one of those things I'm just fascinated with silly spy shit.

Okay. This fake disguise. If you're not watching, if you're listening to podcast, version. I thought they were going to blur her face or something, but they literally just put her in a way. Anyway, so Vitis Syndrome is saying that parts of the intelligence community came by what to explain while a bunch of spies overseas were having like headaches and fainting spells and stuff. The ones in Russia were the most funny to me because they were like, we got out and drank vodka all night with Russians. Then the next day we had a headache.

I'm like, yeah, that's definitely a, uh, what they're saying is like, it's like a sound weapon that Russians are shooting at embassies and, like, and CIA, you know, housing and so forth. And last time we talked about this, I got messages from people who were like, think I'm like being pro-Russia or something or somebody, the one that made sense, a guy was like, he's like, a guy was like, my husband works for like the State Department and he's had really bad headaches. And the bill that Congress passed to give medical benefits to people that Havana syndrome is going

help. I'm like, I'm for everyone getting health care. The reasons you've got it are not, have nothing to do with that, right? So I have no problem with that. I won't say that straightforward. But I thought the Savannah syndrome stuff had been solved because in March of 2023, an intelligence community got assessment from seven agencies determined it was, quote, very unlikely that Russia or another country is behind the attacks. Instead of the report claimed, it was quote, probably the results of factors that did not involve a foreign adversary such as preexisting conditions conventional illnesses or environmental factors or like you know stress PTSD that kind of stuff uh and then that had been earlier i thought it was fully dead because earlier this month there's

report from the national institutes of health that said they did not find evidence of brain injury and people reporting havana syndrome symptoms and but this is the only thing that russian intelligence and the c a can agree on is that these aren't russian brain lasers doing this right right Yeah, I mean, it kind of make, I mean, you know, I don't know what's actually going on here or not. I'm sure they got all kinds of wacky shit out there in the world of espionage and whatnot these days. But I feel like, you know, I know that like you can go on WebMD and see something like because you got like a weird ringing in your ear, whatever you read it. And then next thing, you know, you're like, I have cancer everywhere or whatever you know, I feel like it feels if you start. hearing that this is a thing and you're in one of these positions and you're having headaches.

I know I have headaches, but you start having headaches in this context and you start thinking, holy shit, I got Russian brain lasered. It feels like a human nature thing to me for that for people to be susceptible to that type of thinking, you know? Early in COVID, I was out jogging and I got a leg cramp and my head was goes, oh, COVID causes blood clots. I'm about to have a heart attack and die. I got a leg cramp for jogging. So the sources in this, because officially the intelligence community, I don't trust them at all, but like usually err on the side of urging, like, you know, more war. So if they're telling you there's no reason for war here, I usually set up and be like, okay, well, I should at least pay attention. So the sources for this, the main one was a guy named Gregory Ed Green, who was a former military intelligence officer who oversaw an intelligence in the Savannah, Havana syndrome.

and they basically quit when everybody disagree with them. And he found out a nonprofit called, no, it's a company, sorry, called Advanced Echeline, which company provides care for Hanna syndrome survivors. So what I'm saying is this guy has a vested financial interest in there being Havana syndrome. Maybe it does exist, and his company's fighting the good fight, taking care of people who have it. I'm just saying he's making money off the idea of it existing. And that FBI agent, who you watch the interview with, she says she continues. continues to suffer balance problems, headaches, and brain fog, which is, you know, a common description of people experience anxiety. She also said there's symptoms typically worsen at night. These are common features of vestibular dysfunction. I'm reading here from a guy who wrote a skeptic who wrote about this. He also said, Pelli Dirty interview says she'd been treated for, quote, holes in her inner ear canals. While this could have been from a mysterious weapon, there's a more mundane explanation, a paralympathetic fistula that can be caused by barotrauma from changes in error or

water pressure, such as from flying or scuba diving, and strenuous physical exercise can also trigger this condition as well as head trauma. So, Occam's razor here. By the way, there are sound weapons. Governments all over the world use sound cannons to disperse protests. No one's just talked about one that's targeted enough to cause like brain trauma over a long distance while not affecting anything else around it. Right. If theoretically it could exist, don't know, but Occam's razor here, I think it's like three or four people that are convinced of something that no one else isn't convinced of, and they got 60 minutes to do a whole report on it,

this tree like a bombshell, and there's not a lot of there there. Well, so, even you reading through what you just read about this, like, possible rational medical explanation for it, paralenthetic fistula that can be caused by barotrauma, which could come from many things, including strenuous physical exercise.

Just hearing you read that already in my head kind of had me freaking out. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, God, what if I go too hard on the bike? Am I going to get a fucking paralympathetic fistula caused by barrow trauma I don't want to get or syndrome accidentally you know it happens or is some guy named Igor across the street with a sound sniper rifle

shooting you in the head yeah yeah yeah yeah the world may never know but moving on our first honorable mention for Daily Dumbass is one's own words for being remembered so that they can be brought up in opposition to you in the future this RFK Jr. on CNN man. In 2000, Ralph Nader, obviously, was running. And you did an interview with NBC News, just a few months before the election. You said this. There's a political reality here, which is that his candidacy could draw enough votes in certain

key states from Al Gore to give the entire election to George W. Bush. And then you wrote an op-ed in the New York Times. You wrote, Ralph Nader is my friend and hero, but Mr. Nader's candidacy could siphon votes from Al-Gur. Mr. Nader dismisses his spoiler role by arguing there is a little distinction between the major party candidates and that Mr. Gore is compromised on too many issues. While I admire his high-minded ideals, his suggestion that there is no difference between Mr. Gore and Mr. Bush is irresponsible. All right. So, like, look, I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000. I did. No shit. I lived in Texas. How come?

He was close to getting 10%. I thought it would have been cool for a third party to get 10% and get the all. automatic funding and the eligibility to get in debates in the next election. You know, it was like one of those times where it was like, oh man, we could have a third party, right? Producer Matt just put in the group chat that he voted for him in 2004. Look at you guys. I didn't know this about y'all.

That's Anderson. In 2000, I wasn't old enough, but in 2004 I was firmly in the fuck George W. Bush camp, despite what some of y'all might think of a recent we don't have to get in all that. Anyway, yeah, so he was never a viable option for me. But look at you guys. Trying to fight the two-party system, huh?

Yeah, I thought it'd be cool because it was a chance to actually change something for once. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like a third party getting until 12 percent. I understand practical effects going forward that probably would have like fuck the country. But I was like 21 at the time. All right. Yeah. So Ralph Nader, when he said Ralph Nader was a hero of his,

Ralph Nader at that point was an American hero, right? He'd spent his life fighting corporations who were killing people, all right? And he was a crank, but he was not this kind of crank. I want to show you RFK from a speech on the Washington Mall, I think like two years ago, have you got this clip, man. Alone, we'll be able to look at every square inch of the planet 24 hours a day. They're putting in 5G to harvest our data and control our behavior. Digital currency that will allow them to punish us from a distance

and cut off our food supply. Vaccine passports. The minute they hand you that vaccine passport, every right that you have is transformed into a privilege contingent upon you. So a lot of dangerous shit going on there. But I think the part that bugged me the most was like that he thinks cryptocurrencies are,

the governments are for cryptocurrencies, so they can shut off your wallet and eliminate your food supply whenever you act out or whatever which isn't exactly the opposite of what's happening although if he turns off the crypto pros his campaign's probably dead um did you see who he picked as his running mate uh yeah Nicole Shanahan right the tech billionaire used to be married to the google guy and had an affair with Elon and all that stuff yeah she was married to Sergey Brin until she got caught having an affair with Elon Musk uh she doesn't really like she's like a lawyer for a nonprofit all her money comes from like divorce obviously

and he apparently only picked her because she's rich and she can help fund his efforts to get on the ballot in more states and she being a lifelong democratic donor apparently wanted to go along with this so she can be in history books as a trivia question right yeah uh so but like the depths of weirdness of this guy

I want to talk a little bit more before we get the main segment about how it's going to be the weirdest election of our fucking lifetimes anybody who tells you they know what's going to happen is crazy because like this found this article in 20 13, RFK's sex diary, his secret journal of affairs. So he kept a journal or basically raided all of his sexual conquest. This is while he was married to his second wife.

Insane to me. This reminds me of the quote from the wire. It's like, you're taking notes on a fucking criminal conspiracy or whatever. This is like the married man version of that. Not that I would ever do any of this anyway, but good Lord. If you're going to be out philandering, throwing it around all over town, don't jot it down in a journal every night and keep it by the bedstand. You know, to be like, that's, that shit's crazy to me.

Yeah. It's way more elaborate than just that, right? Yeah, yeah. He had a whole system going. He did. He would, he would, uh, he recorded the names of each woman with numbers from one to 10 next to each entry. The codes corresponded to sexual acts with 10 meaning intercourse.

Mary told a confidant. Mary was his wife, Mary Richardson, Richard, Richardson Kennedy, who by the way, found this diary, then got a DUI, then killed herself before that their divorce could be finished. So there are 37 women named in the ledgers. 16 of whom get tens. In November 13th of 2001, he recorded a triple play. The separate counters, which he coded 10, 3, and 2

occurred the same day he attended a black tie fundraiser at the Waldorf Astoria for Christopher Reeves charity, where he sat next to the parallel of Superman star, magician David Blaine, and a comic Richard Belser. Now, bro, he got three different kinds of sexual pleasure and one charity event. I can't even get down to the gym.

What's the guy? he was 48 years old at the time yeah that's the part it's like you're so aggressive you're so you're so desire is to cheat that you're doing things your body doesn't even want to be doing it that right it's like it's like the weekend trump fuck stormy daniels he was with two other women two in one weekend while milani is at home with their bay it's like how are these psychos so aggressively horny i don't get it um so talking about where this election is going to be and i don't know how this third but like like obviously uh besides Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy's bankrolled by a bunch of right-wing psycho-billionaires who obviously

their plans to take more votes away from Biden than Trump, but I don't know how that's going to play out. I don't think anybody else does either. But so in a bit of a weirdly good news, and a study upset in Alabama last week, a Democrat by the name of Maryland Lans defeated Republican Teddy Powell in a special election for Alabama State House District 10 to fill a seat was last held by a Republican who was indicted for. you want to guess voter fraud with 99% of precincts reporting

she was leading beating Powell by 25 points Lance lost this election last cycle to Cole the voter fraud guy by seven points It was a Trump So that made a 32 point swing And a Trump plus one district All right

That's fucking insane This is like this is outside of Mobile So it's like It's more representative of rest of America than his Alabama because it's like educated people from elsewhere who work for like NASA and tech and stuff so it's like you can't be like well Alabama's turning blue no that that shouldn't be your takeaway here uh but she did run primarily on IVF rights following the state Supreme Court's decision to get rid of in vitro

fertilization um and the thing about this is also it came out of nowhere polling wise her huge victory because both campaigns showed the show the race to be a dead heat and the Republican Powell's campaign said he was up by 11 points so this is another like if you want to think the polling is all bullshit, here's one for your case, all right? I mean, I know you said, don't look at this and say, oh, Alabama's turning blue, but the whole fact that she ran primarily on like abortion rights and IVF and all that stuff and everything that happened with IVF and Alabama specifically recently, like, and the context of the previous results from the prior elections and how lopsided they were compared to this result.

I mean, that does seem to be indicative of something hopefully optimistic, right? Yeah, something's happening here, right? That's my official take. Something's happening here. Yeah. And other something happening news. So the Florida Supreme Court yesterday simultaneously upheld the state's 15-week abortion plan, which the logic of which, Zand has just signed a six-week abortion ban.

So if the state Supreme Court says the Constitution does not forbid a 15-week abortion ban going to law, it's going to let the six-week law go into effect, too, right? So they basically let a six-week abortion van go into effect. But they also simultaneously approved a ballot initiative that would amend the Florida Constitution to protect abortion. They also approved the ballot initiative to legalize recreational weed, which is not the big thing here, but it does turn out a lot of young voters,

which we'll get back to that in a second. So the reality here before the politics, I don't want to just talk about the politics, like, hey, this is good news for Democrats who's going to mobilize voters because their rights have been taken away and a bunch of women have been immiscerated. Yeah, right. main thing, right?

Right. A six-week abortion ban is not a six-week abortion ban because women already know this, but for the male listeners we have, at six weeks from your last period, which really means you would only have been suspecting you've been pregnant for two weeks. You might not even be testing positive yet. Right. And so often, I mean, you don't even know. You know what I mean?

I knew a couple once that I didn't even know they were pregnant until way past that But it's like, and also it's like, you know, they tell you, or at least I was told, we were told years ago, you know, don't even like tell people before 12 weeks or whatever because it's not, you know, who knows what's going to happen and people don't even know what's going on. You're not showing yet. There's a million reasons why that is like very overly restrictive and not realistic, which of course, like they know that. It's like they're trying to have their cake and eat it too, right? They're trying to be like, we're not outright banning it. we'll say this is okay, but that, it realistically, it does never happen that way or almost never happens that way. So it, in effect, is an abortion ban, which I know, this doesn't even

have to be said. People know this, but still, like, that's what they're doing. The shit's so cynical, like, there technically is a rape and incest provision, but you have to, like, bring a copy to police report? And I'm like, have you talked to anybody to anybody about their experience with cops reporting sexual assault? Like, they try to talk you out of reporting it. So, like, you basically got to get the guy convicted before you can secure an abortion. You have six weeks to get this all done, reality, really two weeks. So this is bad. It's going to, you know, damage or ruin a lot of women's lives. And not just in Florida, because Florida has sort of become like a refuge for people in surrounding red states to flee to to get abortions.

To get the medical care they need. I even say abortions because abortion is like an umbrella term. They use to describe a lot of different health care stuff. It's too complicated for them to sell up in a bill. So they just say the word abortion, right? The woman in Texas we talked about who went to the Supreme Court trying to get a judge to let her have the medical procedures she needed and end up going to Florida to get it. Now she won't be able to do that. Right. So the politics of this are going to be very weird.

The Biden campaign is going to campaign hard in Florida, which may, even if you, making somebody play defense, if the Trump campaign really thinks they need to play defense in Florida, draws away a lot of resources. Right. Everybody's played chess or, you know, Warcraft knows what we're talking about. Sure. And resources that, like, they have less of, right? Right. That's another optimistic, you know, outlook recently is the D&C or the Biden campaign, whatever, is outraising Trump.

Yeah, they can afford to do, to fuck around with him because at the start of March, I got the numbers right here. Democrats had $155 million in the bank compared to $42 million available to Trump's whole operation. So, yeah, so I think it's smart to campaign in Florida because like not only does it make the abortion issue more salient. in the general election, which is like, even though when you see polling that says the majority of people support are pro-choice, you've got to wonder where that ranks in their priorities, right? Because if the borders above it, I can tell you how they're voting. Yes. Right. So like if, um, so that, um, so that, this, making this about Florida, making their fight in Florida a lot, spent time in Florida, Biden spent time in Florida,

turns a lot of TV coverage into being about Florida-based issues. So you can tie Trump to, like, stuff like book bans, we wire the state education system, the stupid six-week abortion ban, and harassing LGBT people, right? Stuff that Trump works his ass off to never fucking talk about when he's in public. This initiative and the abortion and weed initiatives are going to be on the ballot. You've got to get 60% approval to pass. The six-week ban, a polls around 20. 20% approval rate, all right?

University of North Florida poll in November found a 62% of respondents said they would vote yes on the abortion ballot measure. All right. That's the one to add it to the state constitution. And I don't even need to see the polling on weed, all right? Yeah, right. Because not only medical marijuana is legal in Florida, but they did it in such a fashion to set it up as a racket, right? They got all their ducks in the road to go to hand the business over, the grow-off. operations to like three guys who were their friends.

And I remember seeing a joke from Florida State Legislature when they, a legislator when they passed it, the main requirement to get a license for a grow operation in Florida was to be related to a state legislator. I mean, dude, how common has that been across the various states? Because honestly, the way I, as a cynical American, when I see these types of bills getting paid, I always assume it's something like that. That are people that get, you know, that get in on the ground floor of legal weed and just making hand over fist that it's not your friendly neighborhood hippie weed man who's been in the

game for years and years. It's some senator's cousin or something. It's got his papal's land or whatever and knows it's happening before it happens. It just seems to me like that's the most American way for that to go and it would happen all the time. Like is that isolated to Florida or it's just Florida, as is often the case, it's like concentrated American badness. Usually when I read about regulatory capture or like government corruption like this, usually a business starts and then the government figures out how to get their cut. The Florida weed stuff was the first time I've seen somebody figure out how to get their cut before legalizing something.

So they already had cornered the market on it. Right. Like techs cap, through lobbyists and stuff, tech capture a lot of regulation, but they had to become a business first. Yeah. Right. So like I've never, I've never seen it really happen like this. So go about to abortion for a second.

So asking Trump where he stands on this is, You can't really got it out of the way around it because he is a Florida voter. Like, he's going to vote on this. Unless convicted felons can't vote, Trey, just that checkers, Florida tried to make it to where they could, right? But then they got shut down or reversed or something. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, so yeah, they fuck Trump.

Now he has to take a stance on this. He did say today he will make an announcement about his position in the six-week abortion ban soon. I'm assuming he'll just lie. But if you're wondering what the math is here, in 2000, Trump beat Biden in Florida, 51, 48, only three points. Right now, polling has Biden down six to eight. So when you think about that woman who was down 11, then won, a blowout because of abortion IVF, you could see why the Biden campaign thinks they have a shot here.

And there's basically no map that where Republicans can win the presidency without Florida. So it's kind of the whole, unfortunately, going back to the 2000 election in Ralph Nader, unfortunately, unfortunately, it's the whole ball game, but for them this time. Right. So, yeah, yeah. Right.

Yeah. That's a nice change. We're going to talk about Easter for a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. So Sunday, over the weekend, an intern working for the Joe Biden campaign or somebody, look through one of those calendars that shows what day it is.

You know, it's like, you know, well, today's National Secretary's Day. It's National Hot Dog Day. It's Sunday was International Transvisibility Day. All right. it's been that since 2009 it was like labeled that by activists who fought to get it recognized yes and so and every since 2009 trans visibility day has been March 31st every year right it don't move it's all it doesn't move 31st it's important that it don't move yeah because

some days do move yeah Easter is scheduled it's the first Sunday after the last full moon after The vernal equinox or whatever. Yes, right, yeah. So complex. It covers a slate of like four to five weeks or something like that. It can be every year around this general time frame. So yeah. So, uh, so people got super bad about this and the way they're going to talk about,

but I just want to establish reality here for a second. It's International Transvisibility Day. Joe Biden's not the president of international. And third, the president does not have the ability to cancel or reschedule Easter. and fourth, Easter's not on March 31st every year. So just bear those four realities in your head at the same time as you watch Jesse Waters on Fox News, talk about this. So go figure.

Permission to speak on behalf of the American people, Dana. Do you, yes, okay. I'm going to offer to hold your hand, but I think I'll take a pass. I think the trans thing is over. We have accommodated the trans for quite. some time. No, you have it. No.

Visibility, Greg. The only thing more visible than the trends is Taylor Swift. Okay. Why is that? You know, like, the whole the whole,

the whole, the whole, the, to use their words, the trans thing, the whole reason it gets talked about as much as it does is because of them harping on it and persecuting these and not,

they're the ones who won't let it go. I think permission to speak for trans people here, Mark, I think that they would probably love it if y'all would keep their names out of your fucking mouse for a while. They don't want you to be obsessing over them on every fucking

nightly news show. And like, you are the, y'all are the ones with the obsession. Y'all are the ones driving it. You're the reason it never goes away. And they get on her, like, we please just drop this finally. And it's like, that was my first thought.

Well, I had, drop it. I should have reached out to a regular a trans guy viewer sweet Gwendolyn, aka drag queen name, Debbie penetration, which always makes me laugh. To see, like, would you like it if Jeffrey Waters just fucking stop

talking about you guys? I'm like, yes, I fucking Of course. Everybody would. It's like no one's asking for you to do this. It wasn't just like this, it's not just seen Fox News, okay, let me read a couple Congress people for you. Speaker Mike Johnson, the Biden White House has betrayed the central

tentative Easter, which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ, by banning sacred truth and tradition while at the same time proclaiming Easter Sunday as Transgender Day is outrageous and abhorrent. The American people are ticking. For one, Joe Biden posted a bunch of stuff about Easter, too. Like you said, happy Easter to people, my fellow Christians, all that kind of shit. All right. Here's the least, Stefani.

Joe Biden declares that Easter Sunday is Transgender Visibility Day while he bans Christian symbols in the White House Easter roll. Disgraceful. Easter egg roll. Easter will forever be the celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection. All right. MTV, MTV says some stupid shit too. Let's talk about the Easter egg thing for a minute, all right?

Because Sean Hannity went in on this. And I want you to watch this before I explain to you how fucking stupid they're panic about the eggs not having Christian symbols on them thing is or whatever. It was all the ban from the Biden White House. Even religious theme painted eggs, they were strictly. prohibited. You can't make this up. You really can't. You're making it up. You're basically hostile now towards. You can cut it, Matt. That is true, right? Technically. But, as is often the case, there's additional context to this that they very conveniently leave out when they bitch about it.

The guidelines for the contest in which kids submit decorated eggs for a White House display, specified with the art, quote, must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious teams or partisan political statements. But those rules come from the American Egg Board, which administers the contest, has confirmed that the guidelines have not changed since the late 1970s. Not always Joe Biden, not the President of International.

He's not the president of the American fucking egg board. Bro, the American Eggboard, every now that I hear about the existence or something, I'm like, that's been here the whole time. How do you get a gig on that? You know what I mean? I ain't got to schooling for that. I'm trying to get on the diplomatic cheese council.

You know what I mean? like the American Egg Board. It's hilarious for me. Do you know they invented breakfast? Like big egg? Big egg and eating breakfast? Yeah. There weren't enough egg sales.

So they did a Marty campaign. They made eggs the food for breakfast. That wasn't a real until like the 19-10s. It's like breakfast being the most important meal of the day. That's big egg. That's literally big egg. Yeah. That's fantastic.

Look, they're not wrong. Eggs are great for breakfast. I love eggs. I love what they're doing over there. Big Egg Incorporated. So, you know, the chairman of the American Egg Board, he's doing A-O-K by me. Because I mean, you know, I need to

bring the goddamn prices down a little bit. Amar-Right people? But yeah, they're doing pretty good. But this is all like a failure of civics education because, like, the president, like, I think we all know the separation of church and state, the president can't proclaim, the president can't proclaim an official religious holiday. That's kind of the whole point of this country.

I know that too. Joe Biden can neither established nor cancel. I know. That's another thing I thought while watching all these clips and them freaking out about it or whatever. And I know it's not new or anything coming from them. But it's like, is it not a founding principle of this country that church and state should be separated? You know what I mean? Like so you bitching about the president not loving Jesus enough on his day of resurrection or whatever is should be a complete non-starter. But I mean, of course, you know, we all know that they want it to be an actual Christian theocracy. So it's not weird that they do that. But it's still. shit, though. Right. And it was like, but like most people, even if the majority of people, even once a Republican, would don't want a theocracy. But they, but a lot of people do, it do seem to think that the president scheduled Easter or something. Like I, yeah, I remember reading a piece is 2015, I think, I know I mentioned this before, um, but like, it was Super Bowl weekend and they were talking about, like, ideas, like, how it's very popular idea to get the Monday after

the Super, the Super Bowl off. And this guy was like, this thing is that the kind of thing that a president outside the box thing that a president Trump could get done. It's like the president does not have the authority to schedule the fucking Super Bowl or give you Monday off because you're hung over. Right. You're the party of personal responsibility, man. I don't know. Start getting drunk earlier in the day and pass out at night.

Yeah. Sounds kind of big government to me, you know. So, but I don't know how to argue with people who think that the president has the authority to reschedule Easter or is the king of the American eggboard. All right. I just don't like, it's like, so, so none of this is really new or different, but there's one way to deal with it and Fox News figured it out and it's just to edit fucking reality. This is like

the White House Polkman, Kristen Jean-Pierre, is that her name? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Was asked about this and she gave an answer that owned Fox News but they only showed the first part of the clip and here's what that looked like in reality. There's a mashup that

media matters did with their full clip and the clip they showed on Fox. Such total disrespect to Christians and November 5th is Yeah, uh, you've never mind. You don't have to show that. This is the clip I was

asking for right there. All right. So, uh, Trump campaign, which you do that a clip up, Matt, we'll just get to in a second. What, what Christine, uh, Christian Jean-Pier said was, it's Korean, I think. Corrine, I don't know what I said. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Sorry. Uh, said, we were at we were at first, I want to be clear, confused on their coverage.

We're grateful that Fox agrees with the president. Biden recognizing trans day of visibility back in 2021. They tweeted trans day of visibility is dedicated to celebrating transgender people. The White House also coming in Matt, don't show it now. It's too late. So they tweeted, the Fox News tweeted that Transn Day of Visibility is dedicated to celebrating

transgender people to all the transgender men, men, women, and non-binary folks. They spelled folks with an X. Fox News did that woke shit. We see you. All right. So they just fucking lied about their own position, about their history or whatever. They just edited, they just showed the first part clip where she was defending the Biden White House, not the part where she pointed out at Fox News is also posted about Transvisibility Day.

Trump, as for Trump, his campaign cried blasphemy. This is the guy who's selling fucking, hugely marked up Bibles with the words changed in it. Blastrophe me. He deplored the Biden White House's years-long assault in the Christian faith and bizarrely urged an apology to quote, Catholics and Christians. Perhaps a dog whistle to those Trump supporters who believe Catholics not to be Christians. We're doing some old fucking bigotries. Catholics and Christians, both people.

White people and crackers all. Y'all come in. Yeah. It's funny. But I mean, no, you're right. Yes, there's like, you know, there's definitely certain subsex of Christianity that don't, don't view Catholics as real Christians. I'm sure that works in reverse, too, I would imagine. I mean, like Catholics are like, aren't they like the OG Christians?

Or they were like, you know, the biggest ones for a long time, but they're not. I've never understood the whole. Christian infighting, really, because I'm Bible dumb, but yeah, it's definitely a thing. I'm not going to get into Martin Luther in his 7th season. But, yeah, it's a whole thing. And if you, you can say, do Catholics think that Protestants are really Christians? I don't know, let's go visit Ireland between 1600 and 2005. So we talked about how you spell your Easter.

I'll tell you how I spent mine. All right. I don't, not a huge celebrant, but I, you know, had a nice blackson day. I worked out, grocery shop, watched some basketball, when we were friends for dinner. It was a nice day. My mom, who is very religious, she went to Sunrise service. Then they had breakfast at church.

Then they had regular church service. Then she came home and made dinner for the whole family. Had the ham, scow potatoes, rolls, you know, green stuff. You don't want green stuff, water, watercress salad cream? It's amazing. My mom made all that for my niece. has how Trump spent his day the ostensible avatar

for American Christianity he threatened the judge's daughter Yes Violentic gag order Jesus would do I think we'll agree He reposted an image of Joe Biden Somebody painted their truck up to like Joe Biden

Was bound and gagged in the bed of the truck He reposed that on Easter He posted more than 70 times Before like 10 a.m. on Easter morning when a lot of people were at church including one in which he bragged about beating Michelle Obama at a potential electoral matchup. Matt already threw up his Easter message.

If you want to throw it back up there, Matt, I'll read it to you. Happy Easter to all, including crooked and corrupt prosecutors and judges that are doing everything possible to interfere with the presidential election and put me in prison. Yada goes on for a long time, but you get it. You get the gist. Yeah, I mean, every single holiday he has the same holiday message. It's always happy holidays to everybody.

Even the crooked dipset, lip tards that are ruining this goddamn. country and trying to put me in jail, even them, happy Easter. I hope they die in a fire, but happy Easter to them and y'all. Like, yeah, I mean, he kind of goes back to the same playbook every, every holiday season, but yeah. Did you say 70 po? I don't know why that's surprised. 70's a lot, dude. I get a couple total.

I know. God, God, damn. Even our buddy, senior Georgia correspondent, Corey Forrester, even when he's drunk on Twitter, on Twitter arguing with people. I don't know if he tweets 70 times in that same time frame. Like, that's fucking extreme. Yeah, he got a couple weeks ago,

he had a few drinks at his son's first birthday party and they got on Twitter and brought a threat about Cindy, Sweetie's titties. He sure did, yeah. So he also, Trump also shared two links, well, two links to one article,

by a Wayne Allen Rood, a long-time conservative writer, touting the Trump miracle where he didn't mean miracle in a metaphorical sense. He thinks what happening is supernatural that Trump is the chosen one by God. Trump also shared a link to an article tied to the crucifixion of Donald Trump. There's like a whole, you know, commandment about false idols. And Trump gave a speech today this afternoon. I think he was in Wisconsin where he talked about this. And here's the video you showed a little bit ago, Matt.

I can blow back up with Trump talking. Such total disrespect to Christians, and November 5th is going to be called something else. You know, it's going to be called Christian Visibility Day when Christians turn out in numbers. Oh, finally. Finally, the Christians will get their day in the United States of America. You know, they're so hard.

I always, I look around and wonder, like, where are all the Christians? Where have the Christians been hiding? Are they repressed? You know, we never see Christian iconography or beliefs shoved in our faces all the goddamn time. But so finally someone's doing something about that. So someone finally standing up for, again, it's old news that Christians have a persecution complex and genuinely somehow have allowed themselves to believe that they are the most oppressed subgroup of people in this country, despite being the ones who do all the oppressing.

but you know here we are that's the thing it kills me and like we talked about how Jason Aldine to try that a small time doesn't actually live in a small fucking town

who's never lived in one I don't even see the church attendance breakdowns for people that self identify as evangelicals but they don't actually go to fucking church

all right of course they just worship Trump that's the thing about this is like like what I disagree with you about like you know organized religion and stuff

is like even though I don't believe or like religion is like any other human institution, it can be corrupted or not, it can be used for good in people's lives or not. I look at it like, what it does for a mom is it brings her solace and peace to go hang out with her church community and sing some songs and hold hands and say hi and give each other love and support. And then she minds her own business and she helps out the poor people in the community like

a church is supposed to do, donates money to causes through the church, you know, and I'm talking about like cultural causes. I mean like food pantries and stuff, right? Yes. No, dude, no, I'm not. I'm more hardcore about it, I guess, than you are generally. But everything you just said, I also agree with. I've had arguments with Ace, the atheist, hardcore atheist on their podcast and stuff about the same thing,

except talking about my me-ma instead of your mom. The same deal. It's like, I got no problem with that. That's fine. And, you know, right. It's just that it's so often and, you know, consistently corrupted. It's so many cases in this country. kind of to separate the two, but you're right.

There is a completely acceptable version of it that I don't have any kind of problem with. If they were, I mean, it's like there's an old quote from like a Dalai Lama from a few years ago or somebody like that, the quotes of, you know, I like your Christ, I don't like your Christians,

they are so unlike your Christ or whatever, you know what I mean? Like, if they, like, if more Christians this country were actually legitimately Christ-like, then Christianity would hit for me. It's just that so many of them are not, you know. That's the part I was getting to is what kills me is like my mom is very Christian. She lives according to what Christians professes their values.

And she does not feel a persecution complex. Whereas these people who are only Christian, when they fill out a polling survey, feel persecuted. Even they live nothing, they live no religion in their life. And I know I wanted to briefly mention, I know we're running out of time. But this fake right wing panic isn't just silly. Like, what you're doing here is building up our permission structure. It's like, I read this article earlier today, this fake record we can panic about TransEaster is part of Trump's push for Christian nationalism.

Embedded in all this performative outrage is an argument. It's justified for Republicans to adopt Christian nationalism, even and even fascism on the grounds of self-defense. The supposed to thrust Christianity are so great the thing goes. The only way to protect the faith is to end religious liberty and democracy. So if you want to overthrow Joe Biden to pretend to, to, to, to, to, to, to, defend Easter, you must first pretend that Joe Biden is trying to abolish Easter and replace it with, I don't know, a trans person in the place of Christ, as opposed to the Easter bunny,

who's merely a very straight boy bunny that lays pink eggs. It's all just so fucking disturbing. And like, Trump, in his Bobelab, by the way, he talked about Christians being under siege and the only way to quote, protect anything that is pro-god is through force. And he said, we must make America pray again. Now, I know it's a play on Make America Great Again, and he even kind of slant rhymes. But if you take him at his word, they're going to make people pray using state force to a Christian God. And I don't understand why anybody want to do that because you can't make anybody mean it.

And going back to your whole Catholic versus Protestant thing, it's Jesus knows what's in your heart buddy so I don't even know what the point of it is so yeah yeah I mean I've said it a million times before over the years but like early on one of the things I somewhat kind of sort of respected about Donald Trump was I got the impression that he didn't even waste time trying to front like he was Christian or Jesus here or whatever like early on in his rise I mean it's like that's one of the only things he didn't really bullshit about and I was like I at least got to give him that you know and then he realized turn from that to this and I get why it's because he's the prototypical narcissist and these people

have propped him up as being the chosen one or whatever so he's playing right into it and paying it directly to it and I understand all that but it's just you know it's it's upsetting yeah and it's like it's so weird to me because there's a famous anecdote in one of the one of his biographies um where during the campaign in 2015 uh or 2016 sorry uh he's he was they arranged a meeting with him with the evangelical leaders they walked him in introduced them he knew they were evangelical he goes well you guys are christian too right yeah yeah oh i said it was from a dali lama from a while ago that's funny because sandy trunks points out that the quote i was saying is from mahott magandhi that old guy yeah we remember him he

was cool too quote i like your christ i do not like your christians your christians or so unlike your christ i got the quote pretty right i just somehow forgot. I was like, yeah, it was some guy from over there, you know. Anyway, Martha C. Sim says Biden, who was actually a practicing actual Christian. I mean, that's like Obama, you know, Obama went and like led the, that church in Charleston after the Dylan Roof massacre and Amazing Grace and all that stuff and got called the secret Kenyan Muslim or whatnot, while Donald Trump, the guy who couldn't name a book from the Bible without doing it erroneously is being propped up as the one and only.

He went to Liberty University and called it two Corinthians. Yeah. Connie Stating says, Make America Pray Again. Gives me chills. Creepy chills. Yeah. Don't wait for me either.

But, go ahead, Mark. I really, like people like, you know, want to hear more optimism. My optimistic thing is I don't think this shit fucking plays for the

majority of people, not even Christians who don't need the state to force other people to agree with them. I just in my heart, believe. we're a stronger smarter country than that and their founding values yeah yeah there you go i hope you're right i used always be my stance before 2016 which i for a lot of but before that year i was always like no i truly believe in my heart that we are better than that at the end of the day and ever since then i was like i don't know maybe we're not but i would like to think that that's

the case for sure i know but you but you saw even people on the left and liberals saying like like Hillary's saying that they're going to get rid of Roe versus Wade that was fear-mongering. I think people have touched the hot stove now. Even people that thought they wanted what Trump was promising saw what it looked and felt like and like Madison. So, I mean, I know the poll is, the polly is. And if it goes the other way, I want to be heartbroken.

And I'll never make predictions. I guess that would be wrong from what I'm saying now. But I'm just guessing and vibing right now. So I don't know. I'm not really. Guessing and vibe. But that's what we do here at Weekly Skews, everybody. Join us next week for more of it.
