what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you and happy april fool's day as well
not that anybody gives a shit anymore other than people who just want others to briefly think
that they're pregnant or something like that you know never been a big fan of aprilful's day
myself but uh it's just a day for lying and and i don't know yeah i mean
I have friends who worked on prank
Who worked on prank shows
So I watched a few of them to support
And I'm like all these are just assault
Either you're just simple assault
Or you're stealing someone shit
That's what a prank is
Yeah
So yeah April April fools everybody
The real joke is American society
American society's functioning fine
April fools
April fools
Yeah today we're talking about lawyers
Pokemon Go protests
The upcoming elections on
when you guys are watching this today, April
Fools. But first, I want to talk
about, remember a couple of weeks ago
we talked about, like, all the state legislatures
trying to ban chemtrails,
and I call it preemptively
the most successful legislation of all time.
Got another example that
state rep in Texas,
by the name of Stan Gerdes, has introduced something called
the Furries Act, which stands
for forbidding unlawful
representation of role playing in education.
They'll prohibit non-human behavior
in Texas schools.
including litter boxes, tails,
leashes, collars, and other accessories designed for pets.
So you can't, no collars means you can't be golf in Texas anymore.
Barking, meowing, hissing, or other animal noises.
So I guess you can't do the Arsenio in Texas high school.
Not that any kids are doing that nowadays.
You also can't lick yourself.
So what if I get chocolate on my shirt, Trey?
Well, I don't know.
Better figure something else out.
something non-woke, some non-woke way to get rid of that chocolate off your hand.
This is, so, yeah, I know what you, comparing it to the Kim Trail thing.
It's like, oh, they're, you know, as they love to do, solving a problem that doesn't exist.
So after this, if this passes, to be like, say, there's no more litter boxes in schools anymore when there never was.
But we talked before about how the actual, because a lot of times a lot of this lunacy is based in like a kernel of truth.
And the kernel of truth with the litter boxes was like a, like a school.
shooter emergency response kit that included like something akin to kitty litter and that sort of
thing so like will those now be taken out you know as part of this it was a it was literally
columbine well i think we're putting the sequence of events here is the other word like NBC news
tried to get to the bottom of whether any school anywhere ahead of litter box the only example they
could find after the panic was that Columbine high school as a school shooter kit had litig had
kitty litter to mop to soak up blood right so um that but the only the only real truth in it was
the panic popped off first and then kids some kids don't think Idaho saw it and thought it was
funny so they try to go to school in cat outfits to feed the panic there's a troll job yeah the
principal men go home and change um so yeah this a panic based on nothing has gone wide because they
again if you guys aren't caught up on it they think furries are related to transgender people because
they identify as cats which is not where furies are and then
And kids akin to the transgender stuff are identifying as cats and going to school and eating off the floor and pooping in the litter boxes.
Anyway, there's an exception of this law for school plays, but not for musicals.
So if you want to put on cats at your high school, get fucked.
Yeah.
In Texas at least.
Yeah.
Move to some less American state, you know, one of the gay states where they still have fun and stuff.
Yeah.
So there's also, they're exempt days.
You can go to school dressed as a cat if you're a furry on Halloween.
And there's also an exception for mascots.
So if you want to find an exception to this,
you can just be your school mascot every day,
which have you been to a Texas pep rally?
I have.
That's a fucking live option.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you guys have a mascot at your school growing up
like a person in a suit?
Did you have one of those?
Yeah.
Our school historically had been the rebels.
So in the South,
you can guess what the mascot was,
but they changed it because of wokeness in the 1980s
to be the Raiders.
and the mascot was a pirate, so we were that Plymouthics Raiders.
So like somebody at your school dressed up as a pirate for all the games, that's fun.
Yeah, we didn't have a, I guess we didn't have it in the budget for like a bulldog costume or whatever,
but I didn't know, you know, my mascots are a funny thing to be.
I don't know who that appeals to, but I'm glad that those people exist because everybody loves a person in an eagle suit or whatever.
I forgot this, but one of my first entrees in the comedy writing was I wrote a humor column from my high school newspaper.
making fun of it.
We got a new mascot.
They tried to do the San Diego chicken thing
and had a guy,
like we were still the Raiders,
but the mascot was like a big chicken.
And I wrote a column roasting it,
and my principal spiked it,
censored it from the school newspaper.
That was my first time going up against the man.
Yeah, two rabble rousing with that.
Like you're pushing the envelope too much by roasting the chicken,
which I'm getting hungry.
But yeah, yeah, that's fun.
It's like last thing, like gritty, you know,
Gritty, the Philadelphia, yeah, like, they make videos of him, like, chasing women in Pittsburgh Penguin jerseys down dark alleyways and shit.
It's fucking hilarious.
It's hilarious.
Anyway, so.
Yeah.
Gritty rules.
Gritty's like Antifa adjacent or something by his brand.
Anyway, producer Matt's back there doing his thing.

As for the show tonight, we'll be talking about the big Wisconsin Supreme Court situation,
which Elon's been involved with, trying to buy off to giving checks to millions of dollars
for noted Republicans and things of that nature.
But first, we got the Daily Dumbass.
Matt, graphic, please.
Today's D.D. Mark for wasting time doing research
because he assumed the accusations in this campaign ad were too crazy to be true.
I'm Josh Wheel, and I approve this message.
Randy Fine, a corrupt millionaire and career politician.
Fine was put under investigation by the State Ethics Commission.
He tried to evade the law, hiding under his desk, then convicted contempt for giving a judge the finger, sentenced to anger management therapy.
Fine even trying to cut off funding for the Special Olympics in a field of feud and called a school board member a hard to serve better.
I'm Josh Wheel.
Okay.
So the closest thing to a lie in here is the cutoff funding for special
Olympics because of a personal feud and call a school board member a whore or the same
incident and it makes it sound like the kind of two different things that's the closest thing to a
misrepresentation in there this is hilarious where is this is florida right of course it is
where else could it possibly be but florida but florida's sixth district which is around
daytona on the east coast of florida um so he's running to replace mike waltz trunks uh who left to
become trump's uh national security advisors caught up in the uh that guy hasn't had much going on lately he's
everything's going smoothly for him.
I bet he wishes he's back in Congress right now.
He's about to be unemployed, I think.
So, uh,
fines a fucking long-time lunatic,
which is important on me here.
Like he's like,
like sitting at a commission,
a woman came up to speak,
a Muslim woman who was wearing a headwrap.
And he said,
oh,
come up here in your terrorist rag
said that two were on camera on like local public access TV.
He once made a front face.
What do you call it?
Right.
Come on.
He once made a front facing video
where at some sort of event he was doing
and he was waving at vehicles
but he refused to wave
at a mobile library for being
big, woke government.
Yeah.
Boob books.
Yeah.
Fuck books.
In 2023, his wife Wendy
was accused of sexually suggestive
dancing in the presence of children
at a spring forward for autism
non-profit gala in Melbourne, Florida.
Oh, my God, dude.
Okay.
So every accusation is,
is an admission. That's one thing. But also it's
just some Florida trash
guy having like a trophy wife who's getting
hammered and twerking at fucking autism
fundraisers, whatever. It's all very
Daytona Beach.
It's just, it's all almost too
good, too person. I'm surprised. He would
attend a charity benefit for autistic children.
That's the part that fucking surprised me. Maybe he was
court ordered or something.
So for context here, back in November,
Mike Waltz won this district by 33
points.
Now the party is worried that Josh
wheel who's a math teacher is going to beat fine because he's such an insane loser but he won
the primary because Trump endorsed him. Yeah. Isn't this isn't, aren't there two special
elections or whatever in Florida or is it just this one? Yes. Matt Gates. Matt's get Mike Gates
right. But which if they're in deep red districts but like if they managed to pull a coup
the Democrats and win these then that would flip the house right or may or even it out. I think it'd be
tied but there's some added context here.
is like Democrats are down two seats
because two people they ran with cancer
in their 80s or whatever fucking died.
Yeah.
I got it since the election.
So,
um,
the House majority is down to two seats presently.
I don't think they're going to,
the Democrats are going to win the gate seat.
That's more of a long shot than this one is.
And even this one,
the polls say it might be within the margin of error,
but I'll still believe when I see it if we'll wins.
Right.
But so last week,
Trump withdrew the nomination of Elise DeFonic
to serve as ambassador to the UN
precisely because their margin is so thin they can't afford to lose
it. Okay. And she had not yet resigned her house seat. Thank God for her. Otherwise, she'd be
unemployed, but she did give up her position as House GOP conference chair. And she spent all last
week, if you want to help blindsided what she was by this, she spent all last week during a career,
doing a career congressional retrospective on Instagram about how awesome her congressional career
had been, but she was so sad, glad to say to leave it behind. Yeah, so get fucked at least
to phonetic. That's funny. But I would anticipate her challenging Mike Johnson for a speaker at some
point because she's bored and she's like power hungry psycho um all right so another big election
happening tuesday tray already referenced it is the is the wisconsin supreme court which
would decide the balance of power on the court between the liberals and conservatives okay um the two
candidates are republican attorney former republican attorney general brad shimel who's an objectively
pro january 6th guy who's now a circuit court judge in wakisha county he's up against susan
Crawford, who's a judge in Dane County.
The race is technically non-partisan, but it's one of those bullshit things.
Everyone knows it's fake, right?
The amount of money being spent on this race is fucking staggering.
This is a state Supreme Court race.
I want to quote here from a former Republican state senator named Robert Cowles,
who was the only Republican to vote against a bill back in 2015 that allowed unlimited
spending in state elections.
He said, quote, I just thought big.
money was an evil, a curse on her politics.
Yeah.
This race has been nothing but a barrage of attack has between the two candidates.
And he said, quote, our public discourse is basically who can inflame things the most clever
way with some terrible TV ad that's probably not even true.
Yeah.
The amount of money here, to be clear, more than $80 million has been spent on the race as
of March 25th.
The previous most expensive judicial race in American history was $56 million spent two years ago,
also in the Supreme Court of Wisconsin
and this current race is probably going to
reach $100 million by the end
of business Tuesday.
That's fucking insane
dude. Especially like
money can be used on
other things, you know, like
if we weren't allowed to
put this much money into all of our elections
I'm sure whatever it wouldn't go
to anything good because this is just America
and that's how it works. But hypothetically
it could go to things that would be worth
spending the money on instead of
you know, politics all the goddamn time.
And if you're wondering why
you would, why national people
would spend $100 million in a state
Supreme Court race, it's because of
gerrymandering and redistricting. Basically, this
Supreme Court race will decide
control the U.S. House of Representatives. Elon Musk
said that on stage at a rally in Wisconsin
yesterday
last night. No, sorry, Sunday night to you guys.
So
the shit Elon's up to here is fucking insane.
He spent $17 million of his own money.
I'm not sure if that counts this.
Play this video, Matt.
He's been sure up paying people 100 bucks a piece to sign a petition against judicial
activism and also doing lotteries.
Here you go, Matt, if you got the video from this lady.
My name is Eaterina Diesler.
I'm from Green Bay, Wisconsin.
I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do.
Signed a petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.
All right.
So he basically paid her a million dollars to confess to a crime on camera.
So I would, your names, first of all, I know America's a big country with a lot of weird little
subcultures in it, but Wisconsin has way too many people named shit like Ecaterina Diesler.
Okay.
So, Akaterina, I would advise you to save that million dollars for legal fees later on if Democrats
ever grow any balls.
But even this scam is a scam because a lot of your drawings don't seem to be random.
Right.
The guy who got the first million dollars is named Nicholas Jacobs, who apparently is the same guy
who's the chairman of the Wisconsin College of University of Wisconsin College Republicans.
Yeah, and I saw a bunch of people like, you know, Elon, like, got, right, I don't know how far on the right they are, but at least ostensibly somewhat right-wing people online when this has happened, being, like, shocked and upset or whatever.
Do you know what I mean?
It's like, way, so it was, you know, this was bullshit or like, nope, we didn't really have a shot at her.
Like, this was, you know, some sort of scam.
And it's like, I just don't know how anyone's ever surprised by any of that anymore at this point.
It's like, I don't know when these people are going to learn that this is.
Of course, just how they operate, you know?
Dude, like you said, even the scam is a scam, and that's just the way it all works.
It's like fucking wake up, sheeple, goddamn.
He does not know how to not do scams.
Right.
His first, second, third thoughts are all scams.
Like, so, so as far as you, if you're wondering, is this illegal?
Yes.
Fully illegal.
It's definitely, it's like literally like a black letter law class, class a felony in Wisconsin.
Like anything over a dollar, right?
Like any kind of, yeah.
any like two not and not just like to in exchange for voting it like you said it seems very explicitly clear that this could not be more illegal but like they're just abiding by the whole who's going to stop us uh you know approach to this and wisconsin college republicans were trying to organize the thing to give away free ice cream to people in line to vote and the state party told them to stand that down because giving out free ice cream was illegal right so if you want so if you're wondering where we're like i
Wisconsin has a Democratic Attorney General named Josh Carl.
Where the fuck is he at?
He filed an injunction with the courts, and the injunction got denied.
Now, it did not get denied because the courts think this is cool and good.
It got denied because Call is fucking just pretending to do something,
because courts do not issue injunctions for activity is already a crime.
This is the court saying this is already against the law, motherfucker.
I don't need to tell him this.
Get an indictment.
Right.
Okay.
right so do your job okay yes so that may yes you've made it make sense to i get the idea of that it's like
this is not what injunctions before i've never been clear on what injunctions before i just know that they
tend to stop things from happening but i and injunctions a court tends somebody to stop something
because it might be illegal it might be illegal but in this case this is definitely illegal
so do what you do when something is illegal which is arrest a person or file charges or whatever
but then but then call is not doing that though no right right nobody was
to do their fucking jobs.
Right. Everybody wants to make someone else do it for them, but they don't want to do it
themselves.
Right.
Yeah.
So as far as the campaign spending here, so the funny part of this is there's too much money
elections.
We all know it's gross and I think most of our viewers will agree.
It's fucking evil and destructive.
But most of the money is coming on the Democratic side here, all right?
So they're not even, no one's even really complaining about it.
Shyamel, the conservative, his campaign called Crawford a hypocrite, saying, quote,
She is, quote, playing the victim while receiving more money than any judicial candidate in American history.
And he's fucking right.
Mm-hmm.
So, like, it's like, like, complain.
Yes, Elon is doing, like, there's the legal corruption, which is falling money into this race.
Then there's illegal corruption, which is Elon's doing that plus this lottery scheme.
But, like, it's all degrees of the same shit.
Fucking, yes, arrest, indict Elon for, for illegal campaign activity.
but then also pledge that, yeah, donate to me so I can win,
so then I can rule the money that should be illegal in elections.
Let's be honest about what we need to be doing here,
but no one's going to call for that because all the people getting the money.
Somebody's getting that $100 million.
TV stations are getting it.
Newspapers are getting it.
Consultants are getting paid to place the ads.
Some of these people are getting paid to make the ads.
It's a fucking human centipede of corruption here.
Right.
And that was the problem with letting so much money into our politics to begin with.
You're never going to be able to get that genie back in the bottle
because of what you just said.
the people that the very people that it would take to change it back benefit from it
or have too many people in their sphere that benefit from it and make money from it
to be incentivized to change it back.
So it's just a real shitty situation.
You know, unless they have, you know, like integrity or principles or any of that shit
that doesn't get you very far in politics.
If I was like fucking, if somebody who's a long shot, should try this argument.
Be like, okay, I want to get money out of.
politics all the billionaires the left-wing billionaires who understand that money's destructive
give me a trillion dollars to become president and you will never have to spend another dollar
on politics again right that is your investment right yeah yeah that's yeah uh shit sorry
i just had our honorable mention for a daily dumb asses the turkish riot police for not
knowing what they were summoning when they issued orders about protesters that said
got to catch them all matt biddy
If you're only listening, it's a very, very whimsical video of what is absolutely Pikachu,
perhaps the most popular of all Pokemon, shuffling quickly down a street as part of these
Turkish protests that have been going on.
And it's like you said there was a viral picture of this moment that went around that
apparently was faked, which is odd because it really did happen, but I guess they didn't have a good
enough shot of it, so they just faked
a good shot of it.
But anyway, yeah, Pikachu was
running from the cops in Istanbul.
If you want to, if you want to glipsen
our soon
future, it's the guy somebody dressed as
Pikachu fleeing fucking riot police.
So I wanted to talk about Turkey.
I know we mentioned Turkey last week. I wanted to talk about it real quick
because here in the United States,
a Turkish national who is here
on a student visa by the name of Ramesa
Ozturk, who's a PhD student at Tufts
University, would snatch
off the street by six guys who said they were ICE agents.
All these agencies are basically working for ICE now, including the IRS.
So I have no idea whether they know what they're doing, whether they're literally ICE or not.
They didn't show badges.
They surveilled her for two days before they arrested her.
They wore masks to snatch her off the street and the kidnapper.
And they did it because a year ago, she was one of four people that co-signed an op-ed in the
student newspaper that called for the university administration to recognize
a resolution passed by the student senate about Gaza.
There is not a more anodyne, boring form of protest
than calling on your administration to recognize
a resolution passed by the student senate
that you write about in your student newspaper, right?
Let me ask you this, Mark.
How are they?
Is it the NSA or what that's, is it reporting from, you know,
Turncoats.
But like these people,
these are not like famous or high profile people.
These PhD students and people,
you know,
that are just engaging in college protests and stuff.
But they get fucking found out.
Like there's the whole,
you get your name on a proverbial list or whatever just by doing something.
There's,
there have been Zionist organizations who've been keeping lists for the past year.
Right.
And like one of them,
we talked about recently,
Betar US is like openly about,
we've turned over a list of a thousand names to administration.
These people were on it.
But it's like,
But from a practical standpoint, do they, do those Zionist organizations, do they have, like, people that, like, report to them that are on these, like, campuses?
Or do they have, like, AI or computer programs that monitor social media posts from people and flag certain ones?
Or is it just like, they just do all that shit.
Well, I mean, Rema's, like, again, this is a student newspaper.
Anybody in Boston could have seen it and just sent an email to Beggar.
Right. Right.
So, so Marco Rubio was asked about Ramesa explicitly, and he was like, I'm paraphr from, I'm, I'm,
paraphrasing, except for the word ruckus here, because I want to focus on the word ruckus.
He said, if you get a student visa to come to this country and come to this country and study,
you can't come here and make a ruckus or take away your visa.
What do you think legally constitutes a ruckus?
It's like three more people gather together to do a hullabaloo?
Or like, what do you think?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
How much monkey shines constitutes a ruckus, you know?
Yeah.
It depends on the amount of skullduggery involved, I believe.
Yeah, yeah.
And the monkey shines.
And especially if you get to a level of chicanery,
then you're definitely looking at a potential ruckus violation.
Yeah.
It's also, it's funny about that.
It's like, you know, fucking what college is all about.
It's causing various ruckuses.
That was my experience, anyway.
We had a debate about, I was in college when fucking, like, Bill Clinton was bombing Kosovo.
And fucking, we had a, somebody sent a campus-wide email all about it.
It started to reply all fucking debate fiasco.
Administration had to ask everybody, please stop replying.
Kids are allowed to be stupid.
It should be encouraged to be stupid.
Even if you disagree with her politics.
Anyway, she's a PhD student, and her area of study is, like, children's media.
She, like, research is, like, what kids find interesting about the telotubbies,
and Trump administration's calling her, deporting her for being a terrorist,
back to Turkey, where I'm sure should be treated fairly as a protester.
The really dystopian evil thing about this, forget taking away her visa.
You would usually do this by sending a letter saying the person has 30 days to leave the country.
So this is literally like a, this kidnapping could have been an email type situation.
Yeah.
I feel like a lot of these kidnappings could have been emails that we've heard about lately.
Mm-hmm.
A number of kidnappings by the government is entirely too high, in my opinion.
Yes.
Especially the ones that we know about, you know what I mean?
Like, you know, I thought they were supposed to be a little more covert with it, at least.
They're going to be snatching people off the street.
Dude, a Chinese, a college professor's expert in computer science and cryptography,
was just disappeared, I think, from the university of some university, and no one knows what
happened to him, and the administration deleted him off the website, just fully disappeared.
And that's suspicious enough where I think, like, it might be maybe a spy situation, don't know the
truth of it, but like, they don't, they're not saying anything, just guys just gone.
And administration's in on it.
Anyway, so I'm not just spitballing about this could have just been in emails.
They've been doing other visa revocations that are going to lead to deportations via email.
Like just now, just the other day, hundreds of international students got emails telling them their visas have been remote.
They revoked in the justifications campus, activism, or social media posts.
I want to just note that these are private.
So you wonder why they're holding people and they could just ask them to leave is because people were fucking getting paid off this, all right?
Yeah, just like a private prisons or whatever.
It's like, you know, it affects their bottom line by more people weep.
like, you know, pseudo-illegally incarcerate and definitely and that type of thing just to spend their human rights.
But, you know, we spend.
And then also they're cleaning up.
That's taxpayer dollars that are paying for that facility, right?
And it's like meanwhile, they're talking, you know, Elon's trying to fix the government waste.
And then we're spending millions on putting American citizens in El Salvador in prisons or whoever the fucking contractor is that runs this goddamn gulog in Louisiana that we're using too.
And it's like, but I guess that's a good use of taxpayer dollars instead of.
like schools and shit, health care.
I bet Rema was the sole path to Louisiana.
I wanted to talk about Turkey for a second because Erdogan apparently, according to this piece I read in the Financial Times, like this foreign policy experts, like Erdogan's bait and some other want to be autocrats have basically taken Trump's bullshit as licensed to go full Putin because usually be the United States government who'd like pressure them not to do this shit.
But I'm a quote here from Steve Whitkoff, who's Trump's special envoy to the Middle East in Ukraine.
Let me quote him on Erdogan.
Quote, there's a lot of good positive news coming out of Turkey right now.
Brother, are you talking specifically about the British people going there to get cheap Brazilian buttlifts or the ice cream guys doing tricks?
Because...
Yeah.
Yeah, they got great coffee too, and men can get hair transplants.
There's a couple other good things going on in Turkey.
So, yeah, you know, a lot of exciting stuff over there.
Anyway, while we're trying to ship Ramesa back there to, I don't know, be imprisoned or join the, join Pokemon on that protest.
They also pulled the same ship with a Russian medical researcher at Harvard who protested the Ukraine War.
She was detained by ICE, so I guess put a bowl on her head when you ship her back to Putin in a box with air holes to be tortured.
Speaking of Steve Whitkoff and Vladimir Putin, I wanted to show you this clip of Whitkoff talking about Russia if you got this video, Matt.
there's a misconception though about the characterization of him as a tyrant or someone whose political opponents often disappear or die
I think in my 68 years on this earth I've never ever seen a situation where there isn't two sides to a story
right there's two sides of the story the guy that fell out of the window and also the pavements
yes yeah or even like okay but the other side of the story is just like yeah well you know he was
asking to be thrown out that window.
For my view, he
deserved to be thrown out the window.
That's technically a side of a story.
It just doesn't
mean that anyone else should give any
credence to it or anything, you know?
I guess, see, what I'll say,
well, maybe Putin's right. These people are criminals
or terrorists, but also we're talking about
doctors who whistleblue about COVID.
So, yeah.
The reason I wanted to play that
is to talk about what, like, level of
speed running Putinism, Trump's trying to
do because we're about to talk about lawyers.
As we talk about this, I thought I want to keep in your head is like, as far as I can
tell, Putin wasn't prosecuting lawyers for representing regime enemies until like, before like
2022.
So we're going real fast here.
So let's talk about lawyers, man.
It's cool we're seeing all the ground up protests at both town halls and Tesla leaderships,
but I think definitely it's undeniable at the front line of resistance to Trump bullshit.
The evil stuff has been judges and lawyers.
So let's talk about Trump's efforts to fucking make all the lawyers afraid.
Earlier this month, he issued an executive order that was trying to destroy a huge big law firm by the name of Perkins Coohy.
Perkins Coe's primary offense, I guess, was representing Hillary Clinton in 2016 and standing up for other like lib causes that Trump doesn't like.
Now, to state the plan the obvious, like this violates the First Amendment.
It contravenes constitutional due process rights and also, you know,
goes against your Sixth Amendment right to counsel.
To Perkins Coohy's credit, they fought back against this.
Another law firm working with him named Williams and Connolly filed a lawsuit on their behalf on constitutional grounds.
And in a hearing the very next day, a judge issued an order temporary barring enforcement of most of the order.
Okay, that's how quickly it happened.
Okay, but what is the, this particular executive order, what is it, what does it say or what's it meant to do?
they did stuff like revoked their security clearances it uh like basically
it said some of the like it literally singled out this specific law firm in the executive order
oh that's crazy it is like that's i didn't even know that they could do that i guess i think
that all the time now but basically said the government wouldn't do business with anyone who
hires them as a client it uh some of the other executive orders not sure if the ones against
perkins cooey did this but like tried barring their lawyers from federal courthouses and
shit um so yeah it's it's pretty pretty blatantly fucking unconstitutional shit they should should be
easy to fight back against and the reason i pointed out that perkins perkins coey got an order
the literal next day is because that's how fucking easy it was because any judge is going to see this
as uh you know bullshit um so i want to talk about so the basis the reasons is important
it's not because i care about big-time white shoe law firms even though they do some good work
it's because if they can come for a big-time rich law firm,
they can fucking come for anybody.
And I'm not saying these big law firms or paragons
and moral virtue or do a bunch of like all good work,
but they're at the tip of the spear here.
And if they could take out like a rich Yale guy
who spends 98% of his hours defending like Philip Morris
and Childslavery.com
because he spends the other 2% representing Greenpeace,
then nothing's fucking real anymore.
Right.
Yeah, that's the thing, man.
It's like, I mean, no, that's a good point because, right.
I did last year, times a construct, who fucking knows, it all runs together.
But in the last year, 18 months, I did a, I was the entertainment at the National Trial Lawyers Convention in Miami.
And I talked about it afterwards.
Not that I was surprised by this.
I know that's how they work.
But it's wild.
The sort of like code of ethics or whatever you want to call it for lawyers is wild because the dude they were honoring at that conference with their number one award that year was a guy who had repped both Hunter Biden.
and I think Matt Gates like in the past like six months before that or whatever but it's like
you know that ain't that ain't how lawyers operate they're you know that's supposed to be the
whole point with lawyers ostensibly is they don't give a fuck they're just they're there to
represent you know your like legal rights and uh you know if that means they represent
scumbags and they represent fucking heroes and everything in between and that's kind of
immaterial to the concept of why lawyers and the law are important to begin with so which
one of the founding fathers was in Boston
that was John Adams that represented
the Sixth Shoulders and the Bridget British Massacre
or the principal that everybody gets a right to counsel.
Exactly, yeah.
But the big white shoe law firms will say that
like they're standing up for indigent
defendants who were charged with
crimes that didn't commit while they're representing
literally like cancer chemicals
incorporated, right?
Right. You don't have to do that.
You don't have to make a million dollars doing that, but they use the same
framework. But anyway, this is like
the point is if you take away the resources
they get from fighting for cancer chemicals
incorporated, they don't have the pro bono
work to represent like, fight the Muslim
ban, right? They have the money to finance that.
So this is what Trump's trying to do, is to cut
off their clients from cancel chemicals
incorporated so they don't do
pro bono work to fighting the next Muslim ban
or whatever. So,
which brings us, now they're
moving off of Perkins
Cooey, let's talk about today's big coward,
Paul Weiss. Okay, Paul
Weiss is a law firm. It's not a guy's name.
It's the first two names of a long, like,
partnership names, a list of last names.
It's something like Paul Weiss, John, Jacob,
Jingleheimer Schmidt, Trey Crowder, or Ravenowitz,
something like that.
So Trump's executive order banned
them from federal courthouses, among other things,
and he did so because the firm's
definition of public interest leaned liberal
and because it employs a guy named Mark
Pomerantz who worked with the Manhattan DA
Alvin Bragg on Trump's New York
hush money trial.
And Paul Weiss, even though
Perkins cooey before them, had stood up and he easily
won, at least temporarily, fucking
laid down immediately.
Laid down in what way?
Meaning they got him to, they got him to, they like made concessions so he would lift
these things?
Right.
Okay.
They basically agreed not to represent anybody Trump doesn't like.
Yeah.
And also to redirect $40 million of pro bono work specifically to quote, quote, to support
the administration's initiatives.
In other words, they agreed to let the government dictate how they allocate their
charitable legal services, which is government compelled speech.
Like literally textbook, like a classroom example of First Amendment violation of compelled speech, all right?
So basically, in scenario that's set up, you're going to have a bunch of Harvard lawyers who consider themselves good libs at appellate courts arguing that the real racism is against the Irish.
All right.
I can't really make sense of any of this for a lot of reasons.
But like, so, but when you think of, if you do any research about Paul Weiss's history, if you go to their website, like it says, like the firm is long pride of itself on breaking barriers and standing up to the government on issues.
like civil rights. Its website brags how it was the first major New York City law firm
to have Jewish lawyers working alongside Gentiles and to hire a black associate and have a female
partner. So the marketing materials they use to sell themselves about how brave they are standing
up for people's civil rights and they won't stand up for their own fucking civil rights to be
around to stand up anymore for other people's civil rights. Yeah. Sounds like a woke
DEI law firm to me, Mark. Maybe they've got the hint from the, from the election.
as we all know, not allowed to care about things for people anymore or people's rights
because, you know, that's not what the American people want.
Can't win elections caring about people.
And I guess you can't be a law firm doing that either.
So the really thing that like, so I was trying to think about like all the reasons not to do
this besides, you know, uh, being a good, upstanding person who's not a fucking coward
wanted to die on his knees, um, is such like, it's an easy win.
Perkins Cooey already proved it.
And also since Perkins Cooey and.
Williams Connolly, wherever the other law firms already won,
why would you announce to the world that you as a law firm are too stupid and incompetent
to win in court like your rival law firms did?
Yeah.
I don't, I don't know, man.
This is a, this is, you're kind of fucking me up with all this,
because I, this is something I had missed.
I knew about the, I mean, I know there's been a flood of executive orders,
but I did not realize that they were, I did, again, I didn't know it was a thing.
that an administration could issue executive orders that, like, single out particular businesses or law firms or whatever.
It's not.
Right.
It's not.
Right.
Trump made it up.
He made it up a week ago at all the lawyers who, like, they went to law school for three years to fucking study all this shit.
And Trump said all this is fake.
And they're like, yes, sir, yes, sir.
Like, so it seems like bad business for a law firm to concede that laws aren't real.
Right.
Yeah.
No, yeah, no.
This is wild.
Your constitutional law, you're seeing the Constitution's fake.
Yeah, but they're not all doing it.
You said the first one we talked about, they're fighting it, right?
So one of them is fighting it, one of them bent over.
I think Williams and Collins and Connolly sent out like a petition for other, like the top 20 biggest law firms to sign to like get to show solidarity with Perkins Coohy and like nobody has signed it yet.
They're waiting to see what happens, like how this plays out between like Paul Weiss versus Perkins Coe.
So, but like, I doesn't understand these people expect to keep making a living and, like, like, how lawyers keep planning to make living and country with no laws.
We'll get to that a second because I have a theory.
But it's not going to, not as many are going to be able to eat, but the biggest cowers are going to eat real well.
So instead of fighting back, Brad Karp, who's the head of Paul Weiss, went to the Oval Office, literally went to the Oval Office.
I bet he literally carried a hat in his hand and fucking groveled.
And this is a guy, again, who's a wealthy, big-time white shoe lawyer.
He was in no danger.
of anything other than maybe having a belt tied in little by selling either his second house in
Sag Harbor or his third house in Martha's Vineyard or his condo in Miami or his boat
in Fort Lauderdale, whatever, right?
You're just fucking lazy.
Like, it's just like, do you want to fight to make a living or do you want to just like keep making
passive income and have no dig it?
And he's like second option place.
And like if you're really following any of the legal cases, one of the reasons Trump's
focus on immigration is because immigration is one of the fronts where the press.
president has basically godlike authority.
Everywhere else is getting his ass handed to him in court, okay?
DOJ lawyers are going to court and complaining to judges about how they can't meet judges
judicial deadlines because they're literally having slept.
DOJ's bleeding lawyers left and white because a lot of them don't want to do this shit.
Right.
And they can't get career attorneys to sign off on half the illegal shit they're trying to do.
They do not have the resources to bring a bunch of frivolous lawsuits, much less fight legitimate
ones pushing back on them they're already getting laughed out of court right which is good we talked
about that before it'd come up the idea that like at a certain point it's just one of the things
you think about as if you're in opposition to the trump administration it's like the way they just
hemorrhage people and have throughout both administrations from the very beginning of the first one it's like
the turnover is insane and it and you think and they just get wilder and wilder with their agenda too
and it's like you'd think at a certain point they would run out of people who are
are both like, you know, true believers, but also sane enough to even be competent at the job
that they have to do or whatever. And that that would adversely affect the efficacy of the
administration overall eventually at some point. If I'm like, this is so upside down.
Like, I'm looking at this environment, like, where DOJ lawyers might have the resources to show up
in court. If I'm the Saul Goodman of Paul Weiss, I'm like, I'm going to file a thousand, forget laying down.
I'm following all the lawsuits I can
because I might win by default
when they don't fucking show up
because they overslept.
Yeah, right.
This is what they call
a target rich environment.
And like this is like,
getting back to everybody
deserves representation thing,
fucking Neil Katjall,
do you know who he is?
He's a big time liberal lawyer
or he's in front of the Supreme Court all the time.
For years and years,
he was on the Supreme Court short list.
Okay.
Every time there's an opening under,
under Democratic administrations.
A couple years ago,
he was at the Supreme Court
Arguing on behalf of Nestle, they should not be held accountable for having child slavery in their supply chains.
And his defense was that everybody deserves representation, right?
And here you now, I have all these big white shoe law firms who consider themselves liberals like Neil Katyal, who are like, only Trump supporters deserve representation now.
Right.
Because they're just afraid.
I mean, they're afraid of them, like you said, the money spig had been turned off or whatever or whatever.
But to me, you misunderstands where the money's picket's coming from because the tide's going to turn.
Anyway, it's like, to me, to my mind, they're choosing to make less money, but whatever.
We'll figure it.
Well, I guess it'll shake out in a lot of it's like, like you said, what's a law you're doing in a country with no laws or, you know, whatever, especially if you've illustrated the lack of any willingness to, you know, fight for any, yourself, even, your own, you know, survival.
It's like nobody else is going to want you to fight for them after that.
so is a by the way
speaking of now
how not everyone is caving
and how all these situations
create spades strange bedfellow
so Trump is also going after a law firm
by the name of Wilmer Hale
Wilmer Hale hired to defend them
a conservative firebrand lawyer
but they were Paul Clement
who otherwise would agree with Trump
on basically everything
but I do want to note that Paul Clement
is a real believer in this everybody deserves
representation bullshit
he represented the gun side
in a Supreme Court gun case a couple years ago
that basically legalized, you know,
people carrying handguns in the subway in New York,
like it's called Bruin or something.
And his law firm,
because the public pushback against it,
his law firm at the time was named Kirkland and Ellis,
they decided they were no longer going to take gun cases
because of all the public heat.
He fucking said,
fuck you and quit.
I will represent anybody that pays me,
God damn because I'm a lawyer,
and I like guns.
But like, so like,
there are true believers in this stuff,
and I hate having to,
that I have to be on fucking Paul Clement's side
of a debate
because people that otherwise agree with me
are fucking spineless.
Yep, well, that's, you know,
it sort of sums up one of the greatest frustrations
with being on the left, period,
is what you just said.
So many people who agree with me are spineless.
Yeah.
So at least there are still some people with principles.
But like, so go back to our other question
about how a lawyer is going to make money
and it caught you with no laws.
Well, the real answer is for a small number of them,
they get to make a great living being fixers, okay?
I want to present to you the case of a guy named Trevor Milton,
who was the founder of electric vehicle maker named Nicola,
not Tesla, another one named Nicola.
That feels a little lazy unless it happens to,
unless it, you know, predates Tesla and we just never heard about them or something.
Otherwise, it's like, I don't know,
I feel like you could have tried a little harder than that.
Right. So what Trevor Milton did, Nicola, by the way, made like, their differentiator was they made of electric big rigs, like 18 wheelers.
Yeah.
So Milton was found guilty in 2022 of lying to his investors. He just got pardoned by Donald Trump. Okay.
Yeah. I don't even know that you could be found guilty of lying to investors, but you said that was 22. So I guess that makes sense.
Lying to investors, all the rage.
Yeah, I can't do any more probably, but I want to watch this promo video of a Nicola made CEMA, and I'll tell you why it's funny in a second.
This is a promo he put out to try to spur investment in one of the things he got convicted for.
Well, it's cool, right?
That's a big rig.
Certainly a truck, yes.
Okay, here's the punchline.
One of the things he was convicted for was putting out this video because that truck has no,
engine in it, it's rolling down a hill.
You know, well, you can't tell a difference.
You know what I mean?
You know, the truck is rolling.
It's hard to tell whether it's running or not, or, you know, whether it's gravity or your
revolutionary new electric engine you're working on.
Yeah.
Rolls all the same.
Electric engines don't make noise.
So I guess like who would tell the difference.
So, so in the lead up to the election, uh, from prison, uh, Milton donated about $2 million
to PAC supporting Donald Trump in the last election, obviously.
In comparison, for comparison to sake in previous presidential and congressional races,
he had given less than $20,000 total.
So $2 billion, $2 million was a lot of money to give and wait out of his norm.
And here's the real punchline here.
His lawyer is Pam Bondi's brother.
Right.
Pam Bondi, Attorney General.
Yes.
Yeah.
So he paid Trump $2 million and paid a bunch of legal fees.
to Pam Bondi's brother, but apparently
texted his sister. He was like, hey, can you
flag for Donald Trump that this guy
that my client paid him $2 million? And he's
like, sure, then he gets a pardon. And
that's how laws are going to work in this country for a little while,
the federal level anyway.
This is just levels of corruption, like previously reserved
for countries led by guys who get press conferences
like wearing military uniforms with way too
many like medals on them.
Yeah, give time, man.
You know, yeah.
I've been hitting down that banana republic road
for a while now. I'm sure it won't be too long.
Trump does have that sort of vibe to him
that kind of like a EDI mean but white and stupid.
Yeah.
Yeah, like you're trying to govern that way.
It's like you have no idea how hard those E.
mean types have to be to get to the top in their countries.
And like their guys are too soft to do that.
But they're probably going to try it anyway because they don't understand
that life is like hard for a lot of people.
So like,
isn't an example of what I'm talking about.
I'd be cool here from the from the Los Angeles Times,
a story that came out yesterday.
A federal prosecutor in Los Angeles was fired,
Friday at the behest of the White House after lawyers for a fast food executive he was prosecuting
pushed officials in Washington to drop all the charges against him.
This is the case of a guy named Andrew Weiderhorn, a former chief executive of the company
that owns fast food chain's Fat Burger and Johnny Rockets.
He did tax fraud by using $47 million of company money, quote unquote, allegedly.
I can't, well, actually, yeah, I got to say allegedly, so I don't end up in court, allegedly
to buy stuff like a piano and a rose royce phantom.
nice so his lawyers knew some lawyers in Washington and just like hey man can you drop a chart
can you fire the guy prosecuting my guy you're like yeah so my question is why the fuck go to
law school anymore except to make friends with people who might end up working in Washington
right yeah that's what it's all about you know that's how uh it's how bill marr's going to land
that Donald Trump interview or whatever he had to get in with kid rock uh you know kid rock part of
the inner circle famously and a kid rock currently trying to convince Donald Trump to sit down
with Bill Maher and it looks like he just might pull it off it's all about who you know mark
you know you gotta get in there and make those connections i need to need to text jd again that's
what i need to do see what he's up to these days just in case we get arrested or something you know
yeah so some up some up uh today's theme what's out or laws and what's in our hamburger fraud
and I'll gladly defraud you tomorrow for a fat burger today.
I do want to note how history echoes and rhymes.
Wilmore Hale, one of the law firms that's standing up to Trump,
used to be known as Hail and Door.
And you remember that famous incident where a guy said to Joseph McCarthy,
have you no decency, sir, that kind of ended Joseph McCarthy's whole Red Scare thing.
that lawyer was named Joseph Welch, and he worked for Hale and Door.
So we're just so good a decision.
Imagine that working today, by the way.
Have you no decency, sir?
You know what I mean?
Like, actually, people being like, oh, this is fucked up.
It's like, it's not how anybody thinks about stuff anymore, it seems.
Like, decency's gay.
I mean, that's, Elon Musk literally said that, right?
About empathy.
That was, like, the big problem with Western democracy is empathy.
Yeah, the big problem with the West is empathy.
Yeah.
And, like, so, yeah, like, just a,
I, like, like, what Joseph Welch has basically been interrogated for in front of McCarthy and his Senate hearings was, like, basically how many Jews and communists work with their law form?
So, like, if, if whoever, who's our Joseph McCarthy, Ted Cruz?
Let's say Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz asked Brad Karp from Paul Weiss, how many Jews work at your law firm.
He'd be like, uh, 12, 12, sir.
Right.
Yeah.
So let me ask you about this.
This has we got a little bit of time left.
Do you say the, what's the, what's up with, uh, Trump?
So Trump himself has now explicitly acknowledged that he might try to get a third term or whatever.
I know there's Andy Ogles did the bill and I know Steve Bannon talked about it and all this.
But like now Trump has said something about it.
Is that true?
Like he did say something about it, but it doesn't matter like, look, it, we got to be like, well, Trump says stuff, right?
He acknowledged, he basically was asked.
That's what you see what Marshall, speaking of Bill Maher.
You're doing Marshawn Lynch was on Bill Maher's show
And Bill Maher asked him
Oh he said
You know Trump said something
Whatever Trump had said about the kneeling
Because Marshawn kneeled
During all that
And he was like
And he was like you know
Trump called it unpatriotic
Nealing during his football games
And Marshawn goes
Yeah what that motherfucker says a lot of shit
So
Yeah
Marshawn's right
Yeah
Marshawn's absolutely right
So like if you asked him a question
Are you going to try to serve a third term
First of all you're leading
You're setting up to say
yes. So he says yes to everything. Are you going to transfer with their term? Yes. Well,
how? He's like, what are plans in play? Because he's... That's what he said. There are ways, right?
Isn't that what he said? Yeah. And the ways are Andy Oval's Bill and also the Kabuki theory thing where
J.D. is technically on the vice, running for president and Trump's the vice president. And then
J.D. resigns on the inauguration day. Did you know that that's how the first woman to ever be
elected to office in Alabama was elected? Was that? It was George Wallace's
wife ran after he was term limited and it was you know kabuki theater shadow thing where
it's like he was still just a governor but his wife ran and that's what it took to get a woman
elected in Alabama but anyway but okay but you're so you're and your thing on any of those
possibilities you're just like what we just can't let that happen that's just not going to happen
you can't it's not that i it's not that i don't think he might try something at some point i'm saying
like there's no point like if you ask
Donald Trump, sir, are we going to put
a fucking, uh, uh, you know,
a condo, a time share on the moon.
He'd be like, well, we're looking into it.
Mm-hmm.
Like, whatever you ask him is I'll say we're looking into it.
Like, so like, you don't,
you just work yourself, you work yourself into a tizzy.
But like, maybe they're going to try to do it.
I don't know. It's three years.
Can we worry about it in three years?
Okay. So that's your basic position at the end of the day is
let's just, there's too much.
worry about right now.
It was, it's been like two weeks or, sorry, two months and ten days or whatever.
So, you know.
Yeah, they're snatching, they're snatching people off the street and saying they don't have
any due process rights, which technically legally don't have a lot.
And when asked if they snatched a citizen and got deported, where are they supposed to
where is the point by which they can go in front of a court and, like, me, they snatch me
off the street and try to ship me to El Salvador, where is the point?
point in the process where I can go to a court and say, I was born in Lynchburg, Virginia.
Uh-huh.
And they're like, well, there is no point.
I'm more worried about that happening than some guy trying to pull like a look,
your shoe was untied electorally with the Supreme Court at three years.
Yeah.
But it's just, you know, I just know that whatever, and I get what you're saying.
You ask Trump anything and he'll say fucking anything.
But I guess this literally just happened because I saw my time.
a scuttle butt about it about him having said that but um on the you know what you just said
it's like what's the point in the process where i defend myself and say i'm an american citizen
it's kind of why i was asking about the these college students we keep hearing about earlier
because it's like you know people are getting disappeared that are not it ain't like they're
famous or anything they're low profile but they still get found out about so it's like if we
ever do whenever we do get to that point where they're just sending i mean luckily
me and you were white still, you know, I guess what I'm saying is like, you know, if I can just get some random college kid, just from like, you know, just a standard Facebook page, then, you know, at what point do they start grabbing up, you know, podcast host just as one example, you know, or comedians, just people, you know what I mean, just hypothetically. I'm just saying it could be anything.
They're eventually, I mean, there's no way that some citizens haven't been caught up. They, though, a bunch of people would have legal protected status have been caught up. Like, like, like people.
People, the service taller, the one, the PhD candidate, Ramusa Oztar, we talked about earlier, had, she was here legally.
And they revoked, they, they revoked her visa to make her illegal on, on illegal pretext and then kidnapped her off the street and shipped to Louisiana, okay?
But there are definitely people who, other people who have still intact legal permanent status who have been shipped off.
There's no way they haven't caught a citizen up in this.
There's no way.
It's too clumsy and hectic.
And they already saw a case that the concern is they found that sympathetic.
from her guy I got shipped to El Salvador.
They're making noise about it online today.
This is like, people, there was a poll that came out today.
All right.
There was presented fraudulently by CBS News.
It says like 53% of people approve of Donald Trump's deporting illegal immigrants.
We've looked at the actual data, 77% of people, I think, opposed, or 79% of people
oppose deporting people with legal status.
Yeah.
What he's actually doing is tremendously unpopular.
and the news media is pretending that everyone's for it.
It's very weird.
But people are going to learn and tell them.
Tell them people with legal protected status are being caught up in this shit who haven't done anything illegal.
There's a guy with the autism tattoo guy went viral too.
He got caught up.
Oh, he's a tattoo.
He's Trendre-A-Wagua.
He has like an autism ribbon tattoo with his brother's name on in honor of his brother.
Is that the guy that's like a coach of his kid's soccer team or whatever?
Do you know the guy I'm talking about?
There was another guy that got caught up in that Trenda Aragua stuff, and he was like, like I said, he like coaches little league soccer and is like a suburban dad or whatever, but he has these tattoos and I guess is of Venezuelan descent.
I don't even know if that part's true, but that's just my assumption.
And he got wrapped up and all that and shipped off.
When did you ever hear Trenda Aragua before the one viral Fox News story from Aurora, Colorado?
From that apartment building, right?
Yeah.
I'm not stepping down my door and running into Trunday.
trend to Aragua. They're not a problem in my life.
And they're not a problem in anyone else's life either.
Yeah, well, that's how I feel about the fucking just immigrants in general.
I kind of reference that on stage right now.
It's like, me and you live in Southern California.
This is like, I know we're not in San Diego, but still, like, this is supposed to be the
front lines of this crisis, the border crisis.
And it's like, I've literally, I've never seen, I mean, anything that could be categorized
as the type of immigrant panic.
that they're warning everybody about
the only
the only like I
hear the problems I've had
okay there's a guy
pushes a troll cart
by my window every day
and if I have a patio door open
my dog will bark at it
because you think it's a goose honk
because you think it's a goose
or something okay
when I lived in a broke neighborhood
there was like a deal
de laurenta statue
in the yard across the street
the one where I think I mentioned
before where the dog
with a pit bull
and the rooster shared a yard
yeah I mean that sounds
that's pretty stereotypical
And I was sitting out back smoking a cigarette, this little girl,
this one of the stone cold gangster moments I've ever seen in my entire fucking life,
calmly walks down the street with a brick in her hand,
turns and faces the De De La Morito statue, which is in a glass case,
smashes it with a brick, then slowly walks away.
It's a patient saint of drug dealers and murder.
And then she just didn't like the patron saint again.
And the other one is like the charismatic sort of like Holy Roller Mexican celebrate Easter
in, like, May, and would throw out parties outside of my old apartment.
And, like, I didn't know today was Easter again.
Those are the problems.
My problems are funny.
There's no migrant caravans, you know, that are drugged out and heavily armed and all that shit.
Like, there's, you know, none of that.
And, I mean, there's, yeah, sure, you look up and down any given street.
You're going to see guys that are some kind of Latino or Hispanic, you know, whatever, doing
landscape or shit and other just jobs that they talk about.
about like they're taking them, but those guys have just, uh, they've just got a strangle hold on
that market. I don't know if they're legal or not or whatever, but that's just what, you know,
it's been in my business here. Right. And they do a good job and they're fine with everybody and
they're, they're not fucking up neighbor. They're actually improving neighborhoods, uh, but
a bunch of, a bunch of Spanish speaking dudes just spent like all last week redoing all the
bushes and flowers on my street. And it looks real nice. Thanks, guys. Yeah. Yeah. All right.
Well, anyway, uh, all the best, everybody out there.
hope, you know, hope you don't get disappeared.
Hope I don't either.
I hope nobody else does.
I doubt that's probably too much to ask for.
But if you guys do see ICE kidnapping, just film it.
Like, because ice will black bag you too for, or beat the fuck out of you for like speaking up to some degree if no one's looking.
So anyway, I saw that from a, from a defense lawyer recommending how people handle it.
All right.
Well, hang in there, everybody.
We'll see what happens and hope you enjoy your April Fool's Day.
