Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:36 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
Starting point is 00:00:50 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
Starting point is 00:01:07 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
Starting point is 00:01:23 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.
Starting point is 00:01:47 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.
Starting point is 00:02:11 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
Starting point is 00:02:56 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.
Starting point is 00:03:38 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.
Starting point is 00:03:55 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.
Starting point is 00:04:08 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
Starting point is 00:04:23 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.
Starting point is 00:04:56 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.
Starting point is 00:05:10 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.
Starting point is 00:05:36 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. This is weekly skews. I want to remind you before we continue, as always.

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.
Starting point is 00:07:38 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.
Starting point is 00:08:18 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
Starting point is 00:08:53 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,
Starting point is 00:09:08 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?
Starting point is 00:09:19 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.
Starting point is 00:09:32 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
Starting point is 00:09:46 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
Starting point is 00:10:01 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,
Starting point is 00:10:17 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
Starting point is 00:10:50 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,
Starting point is 00:11:03 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.
Starting point is 00:11:14 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
Starting point is 00:11:41 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.
Starting point is 00:12:19 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.
Starting point is 00:12:47 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.
Starting point is 00:13:11 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
Starting point is 00:13:31 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
Starting point is 00:13:47 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
Starting point is 00:14:03 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.
Starting point is 00:14:19 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.
Starting point is 00:14:43 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.
Starting point is 00:15:06 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.
Starting point is 00:15:45 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.
Starting point is 00:16:06 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.
Starting point is 00:16:54 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.
Starting point is 00:17:13 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
Starting point is 00:17:48 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?
Starting point is 00:18:05 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.
Starting point is 00:18:34 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.
Starting point is 00:18:56 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.
Starting point is 00:19:11 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.
Starting point is 00:19:41 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
Starting point is 00:20:28 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
Starting point is 00:20:51 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
Starting point is 00:21:07 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.
Starting point is 00:21:29 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.
Starting point is 00:22:03 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.
Starting point is 00:22:19 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,
Starting point is 00:22:34 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.
Starting point is 00:22:59 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?
Starting point is 00:23:25 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.
Starting point is 00:23:37 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.
Starting point is 00:23:56 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.
Starting point is 00:24:20 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.
Starting point is 00:24:48 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
Starting point is 00:25:12 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.
Starting point is 00:25:49 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?
Starting point is 00:26:16 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.
Starting point is 00:27:12 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.
Starting point is 00:27:44 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.
Starting point is 00:28:35 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
Starting point is 00:28:50 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
Starting point is 00:29:08 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.
Starting point is 00:29:38 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.
Starting point is 00:30:21 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
Starting point is 00:30:57 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
Starting point is 00:31:32 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.
Starting point is 00:31:49 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.
Starting point is 00:32:13 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
Starting point is 00:32:56 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
Starting point is 00:33:12 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
Starting point is 00:33:28 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
Starting point is 00:33:44 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,
Starting point is 00:33:59 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
Starting point is 00:34:16 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?
Starting point is 00:34:37 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.
Starting point is 00:34:54 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
Starting point is 00:35:39 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
Starting point is 00:36:09 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.
Starting point is 00:36:37 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.
Starting point is 00:37:03 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.
Starting point is 00:37:20 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.
Starting point is 00:37:47 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.
Starting point is 00:38:23 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
Starting point is 00:38:50 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.
Starting point is 00:39:16 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
Starting point is 00:39:59 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.
Starting point is 00:40:25 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?
Starting point is 00:40:35 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,
Starting point is 00:40:48 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.
Starting point is 00:41:23 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
Starting point is 00:41:52 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
Starting point is 00:42:06 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.
Starting point is 00:42:22 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,
Starting point is 00:42:38 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
Starting point is 00:42:50 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.
Starting point is 00:43:08 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.
Starting point is 00:43:31 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.
Starting point is 00:44:10 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,
Starting point is 00:44:42 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.
Starting point is 00:45:03 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.
Starting point is 00:45:30 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
Starting point is 00:45:46 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
Starting point is 00:46:02 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.
Starting point is 00:46:19 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.
Starting point is 00:46:35 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.
Starting point is 00:47:03 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
Starting point is 00:47:45 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.
Starting point is 00:48:26 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.
Starting point is 00:48:49 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,
Starting point is 00:49:05 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.
Starting point is 00:49:30 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.
Starting point is 00:50:00 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
Starting point is 00:50:14 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
Starting point is 00:50:22 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,
Starting point is 00:50:39 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
Starting point is 00:51:19 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.
Starting point is 00:51:42 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.
Starting point is 00:52:01 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?
Starting point is 00:52:31 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.
Starting point is 00:52:58 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.
Starting point is 00:53:54 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.
Starting point is 00:54:31 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.
Starting point is 00:54:56 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.
Starting point is 00:55:17 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.
Starting point is 00:55:47 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.
Starting point is 00:56:09 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
Starting point is 00:56:34 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
Starting point is 00:56:43 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
Starting point is 00:56:52 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.
Starting point is 00:57:15 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.
Starting point is 00:57:44 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
Starting point is 00:58:15 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.
Starting point is 00:58:39 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.
