Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews - 4/30/24 – The War on the Poor

Episode Date: May 1, 2024

Skewers, this week we talk about escalating hostilities in one of the American Right’s most passionate and longest running conflicts: The War on the Poor (with some Trump stuff and miscellaneous dumbassery along the way). Join us.Support the show

What's up, everybody, welcome back. Happy Skews Day to you. It is April 30th, 2024. I'm Trey. That's Mark. Mark, before I ask you, how you're doing? I want to let everybody know if you're here as we start. I'm in some new surroundings here.

This is my new office at the new house. It is a work in progress. We're probably going to have some problems with it. We'll work it out as the weeks go on. So that's what's going on here. Mark, how are you doing? Doing good. bud. Today we're going to talk about

the war on the poor and how Supreme Court's about to officially make it illegal to be poor. It's kind of sort of been the default in America to be illegal to be poor for, you know, all of it, but to make it explicit, it's a little. We're just going to, considering all our ancestors came here because they were

forced to as debtors and throwing debtors prisons and shit. Yeah, it will be nice to get it codified, you know what I mean? Make it official. You put any kind of outs to bed or whatever. Before we get to the show, a couple of things, stories went following. Trump fell asleep in court again, which is now the default. Like I said, I can't blame.

And court's boring. So today a bunch of magoluminaris showed up to show support, including Ken Pax and the Attorney General of Texas. And Melania's television showed up. So Ken showing up was funny to me because he was also impeached for crimes relating to trying to pay his mistress. So if I've been Trump, I've been like, can you not, can you go back to Texas, Ken? fuck you're doing here.

Yeah, but then, you know, that's kind of, I mean, like, if he's going to turn away that sort of support, what kind of support's are going to have left? You know what I mean? Mark, you can't be having a moral barometer in Magalayan. Right. It ain't going to work. It'd be an implied concession than having a mistress is bad or paying her hush money is bad, right? Right.

So, some interesting stuff in the trial today. Keith Davidson testified, who was the lawyer for Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. and basically he said that they were he was conspiring with an editor of the national choir named dylan howard to keep them quiet and it was because of the lead up to the election and they had text messages where he was basically joking that they owe him an ambassorship to the isle of man and maybe australia for doing this so it seems like yeah it seems like a pretty open shot also in trump world um he did an interview with time magazine came out the day where they basically asked him if he was serious about all the shit the project

2025 says they're going to do. And he was like, yep. Yeah, right. Deport 11 million people. Yep. Bill Migrant detention camps. Yep. Allow red states to monitor women's pregnancies. Yep. Fire U.S. attorneys who didn't prosecute whoever he said.

Yep. But he did say there wouldn't be any political violence as long as he wins. Right. It's not a promise. Not up to him. Yeah. Yeah, but that, I mean, that kind of, that check. out because it's sort of like that's the inverse of that famous thing that went viral when

Fox News was covering AOC during her rise in her campaign, everything before she got elected. And Fox News was like, this is what AOC want. This is her platform or whatever. And every single bullet point that was listed as a progressive, you're like, that sounds great. Yeah. And they're just like, how could she even omit to this in public? It's like, this is the inverse of that. It's like, yeah, yeah.

We're going to ban all the non-whites to support everybody. We're going to have detention camps. And like his, and his base is like, hell yeah. That's why we love him, you know? I mean, why would they deny it? It's their whole thing. It was, they literally asked him, well, to a lot of people, this sounds like you were establishing a dictatorship.

And he said, yeah, but a lot of people like that, though. Yeah. And they do. They do. Yeah. We did our episode, a bonus episode on Friday about, you know, the college protests happening around the country. And a couple interesting developments out, like, one, a couple of police.

police departments declined the invitation of college presidents to come in and crack heads, which is funny that college administrators are more bloodthirsty than American cops. And then you know what happened when the cops didn't go in and bust heads? Fucking nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Right. This is maybe me being overly optimistic just generally, but I feel like that's indicative of cops being generally aware of the PR situation that they're, are currently facing right now, which is like, that's better than in the past, the fact that they have any kind of trepidation about doing stuff like that,

because it might look bad to them. Like, I think that's an upside, personally. Because before, that would never even cross their minds, you know what I mean? So the fact that they're even thinking about it, I think means that it's been at least a little bit effective. Yep. Yeah, but the ones and other jurisdictions are still while on out. I saw a video earlier, one from a stew in California where they,

They threw a professor of the ground and broke his ribs and stomped on his chest. So not all of them are on the same page. But, yeah, leave the kids alone. I certainly my philosophy, like I said on Friday. So I wanted to title this segment before we get to the show, how late-stage capitalism get? There's a few updates for you. So Dave and Busters is going to allow people to bet on arcade games.

Right. Which it's never been the rule. It's never been against the rules to bet on ski ball or dance dance revolution if you want to do it. Right. You just have to take some cash or Venmo each other. Right. But what Damon Busters wants to do is you to let them hold your money in their app. Yeah, that's honestly, that's the only part of it I don't really get.

It's like, because I, you know, we've talked about before. I've fucking, you know, I like freedom. I like personal responsibility, Mark. I think if me and you are at Dave & Busters and I want to bet you $5 on a round of hot shots we're about to do or something, I think we should be allowed to do that as grown tax paying consenting adults. I think that's fine, but like, but I don't know why they need to be involved and there needs to be an app

and they take a percentage or however the hell any of that works. I don't know why you need to do any of that. We just put a $5 bill down and then do the thing, you know. Right. That's how our granddaddies did it. Like, you know, we ain't got to do all this shit.

Yeah, I guess if I want to be for the rise of gambling, it's being able to do it on a credit card. But I, Dave and Buster's getting in on it. It's like, I've sort of, like occurred to me, why hasn't like Xbox started a gambling function? You hush your mouth. Children can put $100 in the parents credit card. I cannot imagine it would be very long.

I mean, they've already like, I think that as a gamer and a parent of tween boys and stuff, I think the answer to that question is that they've got a pretty good thing going already with their like micro transactions and loot boxes and the stuff that they do do, which are like, it's even worse than gambling because you there's no there's no possibility of winning or getting that money back you know what I mean it's like oh you can spend this money and get a sweet looking gun for your character or whatever and kids whose parents have their credit cards hooked up to it they just smash that button and it's all very predatory already is what I'm saying like they've already got they've already figured some good shit out over there in terms of you know murdering the heart of

the art form and exploiting it for cash and all that they've been doing that for a while they don't even need shit like this I don't think but it seems like a lay up to be in the current environment and again I think this would be awful and no one should do it but everyone's doing this shit if I want to

if you're a stranger and I'm playing you in NBA 2K over the internet why doesn't they have a functionality where you can each put 50 bucks up and the winner gets 48 bucks and Xbox keeps too I'm saying I'm telling you right now there's some boardrooms right now that would play this clip and be like, that's a great

question. Give it my partner, motherfuckers. Doing that. Yeah, yeah, right. Because I mean, yeah, no, I hear you. I'm sure it's coming. And even worse, gambling news. So a hedge fund by the name of Apollo Global Management has had a lawsuit filed against it because apparently they were taking out life insurance policies on people

they didn't know. And they were basically betting on people to die. And like the woman who's on behalf the lawsuit was filed, her name was Martha Barrett's, and they paid her $150,000 up front in order to sign some papers. They could take out a $5 million lump sum of life insurance. She lived like another five years. They paid the premiums on it.

And then when they cashed out, they got the $5 million. Of course, this is technically illegal. Right. You're not supposed to take out life insurance policies on people you're not like invested in it. Like you can take like companies take out a life insurance company and executives all the time, key person insurance or whatever. But like you just can't take out of life insurance on regular fucking people. Yeah, that seems crazy. That's insane.

But the part about this that I don't understand is I don't get how the insurance companies are like I don't get the upside for them for engaging in this. You know what I mean? It's like they're both betting on. Insurance is always betting on whether or not bad shit's going to happen and hoping that it doesn't. But like if you're real old and in bad health, like, i.e. a good dice roll to these people that makes you a bad client. or whatever the word is for an insurance company, right? So, like, you know what I mean? Like, isn't it, is it that it, the insurance is more expensive and they'll pay it,

but they're still going to, I don't know. I just don't really understand the math of doing this. According to one analysis of this, I read, it's actually an upside for the insurance company that this is illegal because they're not one of the people committing the illegalities. Right. But so it's found out. They not only get the premiums paid, but they don't have to pay out the claim. Oh, okay.

Right. Right. Right. Yes. Okay. Because then it's like fraudulent or whatever. So they get the premiums, but then if they can prove that this happened, they don't have to pay anything at all. Okay. That makes the whole thing make sense. I'm not saying it's fine, but I get it now from both perspectives, like why that would happen. It's the opposite of due diligence, where you do your diligence and find out this is incredibly crooked. We should definitely get in on it because we're going to get off scot-free for this. But they had a total of $20 billion of these policies according to this lawsuit. Um, this is fucking crazy. Like, like, in case you're wondering, going back to, uh, my old thesis that sports owners are some of the most evil people on the planet, one of the guys that started this hedge fund is, uh, named Josh Harris, who's the guy that owns both the Philadelphia 76ers and the Washington commanders now. Um, he bought it from Dan Snyder recently. Uh, but I was thinking about some fun possibilities here for these hedge funds. So let's say this hedge fund also owns a cut of some old folks homes. what you do is you take out of these policies on people in your old folks' homes, and then you do rounds of hot shots of fucking morphine, right?

Yeah, I'll tell you, Mark, you're giving them away all your best ideas. You should be like a consultant to evil, evil capitalist plutocrats or whatever. This whole episode, you're giving them free ideas, man. It's like when they show, like, how to make meth in a Mountain Dew bottle on Nightline or something. It's like, you're giving it away. it's like you ever down you read about a crime show that the attorney general asked them please not the air of the episode because they came up with too perfect of a murder or too perfect for the heist but yeah I mean this is just straight up like capitalism the incentives there to make the old person you're in who's in your care to die as soon as possible this is what's going to fucking happen right another another fun possibility or this is the upside of the American worker all right we all know it's going to have a hard time retiring right so instead of just getting that $150,000 payout up front to let this company take I got a life insurance policy on you. You're over 65.

You need more than $150,000, all right? Let's say you, you're $150,000 up against some other old person's $150,000. You two fight to the death, all right. The company gets their $5 million for whoever dies and you get the other person's $150,000. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good bet. You've got to size each other up, you know what I mean? You got like a Vietnam bit.

Yeah, right. You know, feel pretty good about your chances there. That's, what's America, baby. It's where we're going. Let's just pick up the pace. All right. Well, let's get into it. So producer Matt is with us behind the scenes,

Now, as for the show tonight, we're talking about the escalating hostilities in one of the longest running and most hotly contested disputes that the American right is waging in this country. The war on the poor. Things are heating up, like Mark said, they're about to take all the guesswork out of it and just make it straight up illegal if they have their way. We'll talk about that a little later. But first, we've got plenty of other fun stuff beginning with the Daily Dumbass. Matt, graphic, please.

Tonight's D.D., people who think all dogs go to heaven but won't do them the favor of murdering them so they can get straight there. This is, well, you'll see. One of the most talked about politicians in America right now is headlining a fundraiser for the Jeff Coe Republicans next week. Usually that would be a good thing. But people are talking about South Dakota Governor Christy Noam because she bragged about shooting her puppy. South Dakota Governor Kristy Noem comes to Colorado this week as she's making national headlines for saying that her decision to kill her unruly puppy was a sign of her leadership skills. Noam said that she hated the dog because it wasn't a good hunting dog and it killed her neighbor's chickens. Noam chose to write about the dog's killing as well as her shooting of a goat that annoyed her in her forthcoming book, which you'll get a signed copy of if you buy a nearly $3,000 VIP ticket for the Jeffcoe Republican.

and fundraiser Saturday in Golden. Home of Goldens in Golden, an annual event drawing thousands of pet owners who have not shot their dogs. That's the punch lot I wanted to get to. All right, Mark, here's my first and primary question

about this. It's like, a lot of, we've heard a lot about this. People are very upset. I'm not surprised by that at all. But like, in her actual base or whatever, is that happening there too? Are they also upset? Okay, because I'm heartened to hear that.

But I also, like, as somebody from fucking Clay County, Tennessee or whatever, and I'm like, I just know that there was part of me that thought that they wouldn't care about this either, that like hardcore, you know, rural Republicans or whatever would be like, yeah, sometimes you got to shoot a dog, you know, because like, I knew people. People who had that philosophy growing up, like, without a doubt.

Sometimes you've got to shoot a dog. You know what I mean? A lot of dogs getting shot. I grew up in town in Salina and, like, you didn't have your dog on a leash or something. If you just let it run around, which you shouldn't do, of course, but we're white trash, but you shouldn't do that. If you let your dog run around or something, it, you know, it's probably going to wind up getting shot because people just be shooting dogs. And I know a lot of people don't like to hear that, but it's a thing in rural, or at least it was years ago. So I wondered how, you know, detrimental of the thing this would actually be to her considering her actual fan base.

If they're upset about it, too, then I'm glad to hear that. Well, Solana sounds crazier than when I grew up in Buckingham, Virginia. Yeah, it is. I'm sure. We had, you know, our name and phone numbers and our hunting dogs callers and people found our dogs who, because when you have dogs chase deer, you don't always find them right away, but they do wander around. and people find them. They call you and you go get them.

But there are some realities of like rural life and farm life here. But they're, she's trying to escape through her herd of bullshit as far as she how she approached this, how she fucking killed the dog and how she's talking about it. That's one reason I wanted to talk about this. All right. But don't,

don't you think the whole reason she even included this and like seems to be bragging about it and stuff is because her expectation was what I was just saying? You know what I mean? Like she thought it would hit for people, right? She thought that her people would hear. and be like, yeah, you know, got to step up, got to shoot that dog sometimes, what are you going to do?

Like, that's what she thought the reaction would be, or else why would she even put it in there? I think she had an audience of one, and that one was Donald Trump, but we'll get to that in a second, because I wanted to, like, if people haven't caught about the story, I want to talk about what happened once.

So, Chrissy Noam's coming out with a book. All right. And in that book, one of the many farm life anecdotes she shares is having a dog by the name of Cricket, who was a 14-month-old wire hair, what is it, wire hair pointer. And if you want to do it

wire hair pointer looks like that she shot is what it looks like if you got this picture, Matt, this is adorable little dog. It's like, it's like comically cute. You know what I mean? It's almost like it's part of a bit

or something. Like it couldn't be cuter. Now, of all the reasons, like I can say, most people live in cities and stuff. So like of all the reasons you think of to that a dog would need to be put down

at being too aggressive, it being sick, yada, yada, yada. Cricket was none of those things. Cricket was rambon. and hard to train, even though it doesn't sound like she actually tried to train it, wouldn't really hunt that well, and then also got loose and killed a couple of her neighbor's chickens. Now, a couple of things that ring really false about this. She says her neighbor cried when the dog killed its chickens. And one thing that doesn't really ring true about

farm life to me is someone crying over their chickens dying, especially when they're financially compensated for it. Because the whole point of you being cruel enough to put down animals that need to be put down is you don't cry over fucking chickens. Yeah, I definitely agree with that. I mean, especially the financial compensation part, it's like as long, you know, like our livelihood was those chickens, you know, but like if you, yeah, if you, you know, if there's financial compensation, yeah, I can't imagine. I mean, unless they're five, unless her neighbor was five, you know, then I don't know why, yeah, they would, a farm person would cry over the death of a chicken.

Dude, chickens, they'd be dying all the time. If my dad yelled at me over a chicken dine on their farm, he'd be mad at me, not the dog that killed our chicken. Right. And yes, we had our hunting dogs killed. animals on the farm before and we did not kill the dogs for it because what dogs do is actually hunting dogs this is a fess a dog was trained to hunt pheasant so she turned loose around your birds right so yeah uh and so so according to her own story she took cricket had a

bunch of energy you know because it's a 14 month old puppy and so cricket spoiled the hunt she took her on to try to get her energy out and so that's why she decided to kill this dog because she also hated this dog because the dog was annoying uh nowhere form or otherwise do you get to kill an animal for it being annoying right that's not a thing that i mean yeah everything i just said aside which is all true it's also true that like the first time a lot of uh you know nine year old farm boys cry is when they read old yeller and the boys got a she's got to shoot the dog because you know because in that case it's like what else you got to do it it's like it's the first time you cry that and where the red fern grows

and stuff so you know it's uh yeah this is a little out of pocket to say the least it's like i don't mean to make it make it seem like foreign people just be shooting dogs wantonly or whatever but when i think of like maga lunatics hearing this story i can just see them being like well you know what are you going to do if you want to be charitable to her audience for it was people that imagine themselves as rugged country people who aren't actually who we that's what we talked about when we had the white rural rage guys on talking about truck commercials and stuff who the audience of that shit is all right so uh but like look my dad had to put some dogs down for various reasons they broke a leg cunning whatever he he didn't brag about it it wasn't like

he shot the dog and then was like go get your mama I'm horny this isn't fucking that one of those situations right now she talks about this is utterly bizarre yes that's true uh she tried to talk about example of how tough she is and it kind of tough this you need in politics, which like it's not, this isn't, in politics you deal with people. So who are the people you need to put down? It's really my question here.

There you go. Yeah. She also bragged about the same day. I guess she was like, well, I guess I've already started killing. I might as well kill this goat I also don't like. Right. She was just out there with a gun and had started murdering. And then she saw a goat that was, that stank and that she didn't like. And she was like, well, might as well.

since I'm here murdering anyway, might as well kill this goat too. So she then shot the goat. Right. And the goat, she said, she dragged this gravel pit, I guess she has, where she does all her animal killing.

Yeah, her animal execution gravel pit, yeah. She drags the goat over there and kills it, but she doesn't kill it. She misses. I guess she had, so she had to go back. Like,

it's right in front of you. How do you possibly miss your own goat? on your property that you've drug over to your execution spot. That's not the worst part, Trey. The way she describes it is to go back to her truck for another shell. And I'm like, use a shotgun.

Yeah, right. Use a shotgun to fucking put a goat down. And you missed. That's crazy. If you guys are gun dumb, the reason you use a shotgun is because the shot, it's called a shot because it spreads. Spread, yeah.

When you see it west or when he's a sought-off shotgun and so you can hit a whole door from like eight feet away. so this is like she's admitting to all kinds of failures she's at least apparently too stupid to know she's conveying to people that know what they're talking about but here's another thing she says the goat was too rambunctious because they need to be castrated I have a solution to you christie that's not killing the goat right like on our farm we castrated animals all the fucking time so like we did it ourselves we knew how to do it I didn't do it my dad did it but I saw it's fucking awful don't want to go back there I moved away for it but like

But the thing is, like, her, like, she's not like these other mega types who are pretending to be rural people. She actually, her country bona fides are legit. She did grow up on a farm. Her dad died, like, he got smothered in a grain band when she was like a kid or whatever. Like, she's not, she's not, you know, a studio gangster when it comes to country shit. So she's like, so I can't even figure out what the fuck she's even talking about. She also said the construction crew saw her killing both the dog and the goat.

I'm like, you did this in front of strangers? and then her daughter, when her daughter got home, she asked, where's Cricket? Because Cricket wasn't a hunting dog. He was a fucking pet. Well, that's the other thing, too, is like, I mean, I'm sure in the book, if you're reading it, this is already very clear up until this point.

But if you just hear this story, I feel like the inclusion of her daughter saying it is wild because you picture, you picture, I picture like a young person, a young farm person is just out there like, oh, sometimes you got to do it, whatever. And it's like, you know, then my teenage daughter walked up and was like,

mom wears cricket and it just makes it even more egregious to me the fact that she's like a fully grown woman with children who should be nurturing in some capacity that she did all that in that context makes it even more everything about it makes it laughably more egregious you know think it's wild all the reasons you get a pet to teach with your kids to teach them how to care for something right how to not give up on something because it's 14 months old and not trains. How to deal with death. Right. Like, a CPS should be investigating,

Christy know what fuck Peter. But like, she also wanted her to defend her press to her defending this. She said, well, also recently I killed three horses, which she had to put three of her horses down. What's going on at a ranch? You had three horses that need to be put down simultaneously. What the fuck are you doing over there? And like, this headline about as far as like as dramatic as like the reaction was

to basically, Fox News was shitting on it. everybody's hating all this because like you kill the dog whatever don't fuck why are you fucking put it in your book it's like levels to this this headline politicians and dog vilify south dakota governor after she writes about killing her dog you know where hitler wikipedia prime directive pride to live your life in such a way you don't have hitler controversies on your wikipedia page all right i got a new one here don't live your life in such a way to not have vilified by dog experts in a headline about it it's just so wild also that she did it to herself, you know what I mean?

Like, you know, it didn't, this wasn't an expose where someone found this out and confronted her with it. She came forth and was like, yeah, a shot cricket in the head for being too puppy like, what are you going to do? That's how you know, I'm a good leader. And politically

the hilarious part of this is like, there's only one reason the politician writes a book, right? They're going to run for a higher office, right? So she was like the governor in 2018 at first, and she was really like it in 2022 to search terms started in 2023. And South Dakota governors are term loaded after two terms, right? She was in Congress before that, so going back would be like a downward move or a sideways move. So she needs a job by 2026. Now, think about how Trump talks like about dogs, all right?

Here's a few quotes here about how Trump used the word dog. Mitt Romney had his chance to build. These are all tweets from Trump in the past. Met Romney had a chance to beat a failed president but choked like a dog Eric Erickson of Red State was fired like a dog Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart should cheated on him like a dog

and we'll do it again Brent Bozell of the National Review came to my office begging for money like a dog all right I feel like those are not things that dogs do any of those things I got yeah right like fired like a dog who when are dogs getting laid off

you know what I mean cheated on him like a dog It's like, dogs just be humping when they're in heat. I don't think dogs are known for their monogamous relationships. Like, these are odd metaphors he's used there, or similes, rather. Dog are not loyal to sexual partners, but they're very loyal to humans. So, Christy Noem, we talked about on the show before, is very highly rumored, but from credible people to have had a longstanding affair with Corey Lewandowski, who is a long-time

Trump's, you know, aide who once got fired by Trump for being. meeting a woman at a campaign rally. All right. So just these are all fucking sick people. Anyway, so my contention here is this book was an audition to be Trump's vice presidential pick. And it did not work. According to New York Post, Christy Noem has no shot as Trump's VV pick after

puppet killing controversy, according to sources. There's a quote from a Trump, someone close to Trump there that said she was already unlikely to be picked his VP, but I had a shot after this is just impossible. Trump isn't a dog person necessarily, but I think he understands you can't choose a puppy killer as your pick for blatantly obvious reasons. Right.

But again, I feel like it, you know, says a lot about Trump and their whole thing that she clearly thought that this was like a good play. You know what I mean? Like she thought this would hit for them and is surprised that it didn't. And it definitely says a lot about her,

but I think it says something about them too, generally. like about their whole deal. I mean, she's got to be thinking this is just pure sexism because remember Mike Huckabee's son murdered her dog. Mike Huckabee still got to run for president. Mitt Romney famously strapped the dog to the roof of his car. It was on a car carrier, but they made the dog take a 12-hour trip on the carrier on the roof of his car.

And then they only went to check on it when his son saw diarrhea running down the car windows. It's so awful, dude. My God. So Mitt was asked about this. parallels and he said the dog's name was Seamus and he said well I didn't eat my dog I didn't shoot my dog I love my dog and my dog love me it's word noting there the two of Romney's sons his mid Romney's sons went on the record against him and when the story happened so as soon as they

parked the car the dog ran off and he never saw him again. Dave my god that is something else right there yeah a whole party of dog dog killers and at least with that one you could there's a spin you could put on it that makes you just sound like ignorance or whatever where it's like you know you've seen dogs on road trips they hang their head out the window they love it they love they love their wind in their hair wind in their face or tongues hanging out to love it i just thought if i exposed it directly to that for 12 straight hours with you know with no other options that it'd just be 12 hours of fun time for the dog that's what i thought my my wife has a seat belt in the back seat

in a dog bed that rides in the car. She's not allowed in the front seat because if we got an offender bender, the airbag would hurt her. And I'm just trying to put my mind in the headspace of these people. And the rich are just different than us, which brings us to our main topic. Yes, let's talk about it. The war on the poor.

Hate that. So this is about a Supreme Court case they heard last week. This basically built the laboratory to drive me fucking insane because they're definitely going to like, you know, side on the rights of, like, cops to just arrest people for existing as homeless. But first, I want to talk about this story, which we talked about privately in the Daily Mail, but I know if you're, if you're talking about them putting on errors, I'll keep this quick. But, uh, so there's a millionaire who made himself homeless on purpose to basically for YouTube content because his thesis was he can make a million dollars back in a year.

Right. And I want to talk about this because these people really do think it's a choice to be poor. Yes. Right. Um, and that's the whole thing with this, like the implied, uh, thesis of, of this, even though I don't think the guy ever said it out loud or explicitly, but the implied thesis of this is like, anyone

who does not have a million dollars is just a lazy piece of shit who doesn't want to do it. Like, let alone just being homeless or whatever. And it's like, even if you are homeless, you can be a millionaire in less than a year if you just actually work and

do things. Like, that's what he's trying to prove with this. And the way he couches it is like I'm trying to prove that you know no matter what through hard work and all this stuff that we can all succeed success like he puts a PR spin on it but that's

really what he's saying and you know how did that then turn out he quit after a few months because he found out that being homeless was bad for his health and did not really learn any lessons from that he'd think it's a coincidence that he got sick after like 10 months of being homeless

all right and like his name is mike black and he did start over from nothing and he was trying to make a million dollars in 12 months like i said he'd been an entrepreneur his whole life um but then he walked away from like he said he walked away from all his stuff i think he just like he literally walked away from it but it's like still there that's what i assume too yes i definitely assumed that he took all the money he had and just put it in a bank account and it was like okay the rules are i can't touch that during my experiment uh yeah yeah so he worked for 10 months and like so he didn't manage to make $64,000 over over the 10 months which I found pretty impressive but the way he did it one he started off a baseline of being healthy which a lot of like homeless people don't necessarily have he started off being I assume being educated which a lot of homeless people don't necessarily have and he also you know probably knew how to present himself as not a homeless person which is like you know a big leg up and like whatever you're trying to do but the way he made the money is like he cheated because one his first scam was he got furniture for free off Craig's List and sold her on Facebook Marketplace, which means he

had a smart device and internet access, all right? Right. Yeah. He also, I think along the way, he got like one-off marketing consulting gigs or whatever, like stuff like this, he managed to pull off and it's all this shit that's like, that's not an option for, you have, you have some form of business acumen or expertise in that field that you had already that was not free, right? that you didn't you know what I mean that cost a lot of money to which you or your parents money or

whatever to obtain and you had that already he also like like you said like you alluded to like if he was really doing this for real somehow give himself a myriad of genuine mental health problems from a life of trauma or whatever and get hopelessly addicted to heroin or crack or something and then give everything away and go live on the streets as that person like if he could somehow managed to make himself hear the voice of God 18 hours out of the day or whatever. You know what I mean? Like, then that would be a more realistic experience. But yes, like the whole thing is just like disingenuous from the get-go.

It's like this is not the situation that most actual homeless people are in. And even with all these legs up that you had, you still didn't pull it off the way you thought you would. Right. So imagine if you had all those. actual, you know, obstacles that that real homeless people face, imagine how it might have turned out elsewise, you know, but I know that like, so I do want to draw a distinction here because like the mental health stuff and yes, we live in Los Angeles, we see these people call also people with the dope liens, the addicts or whatever. But there are a lot of homeless

people you don't necessarily see very much who are just broke. All right. Those people do exist and literally just giving them a month's rent. They would be this guy. All right. So I just I just wanted to, like, just wanted to flag that for a second. But like, so even his story is based upon people helping him. Like, his first, like, the guy, a guy let him sleep in his RV. Yeah. I don't point out that he's not a woman. A woman could not accept that invitation, but they, anyway, that's, that's another thing. Anyway, so after a few months doing this, his realization was that he had a hard time finding a place to sleep, which is going to be important to the rest of this segment, and no one would give him water. And he was surprised by that,

Except 10 months ago, you were a guy who wouldn't give people fucking water. Right. Because they were just lazy or whatever. Right. Yeah. So much of it is predicated on people giving people helping him. Like without people helping him, he wouldn't have even had the marginal success he did have. Right.

So it's like it's evident that like people need help and need to get it from somewhere. And then yet a lot of people that a lot of people there like, you know, would point to this and be like, look, it's inspiring. and you work hard, you do whatever, are the same people who would, you know, shoot down any notion of actually helping out real homeless people and that type of thing because they still think they're all lazy or whatever it is. Oh, I forgot to, so a lot of the 64,000 he made after, like, you said you talked about him being a social media marketing manager, because he was doing this for clicks, he had an easy pivot. Yes, you know what I'm saying? Of course. Because he had a gimmick. What he's pitching is, although homeless people need a gimmick.

Right. They don't have followers and shit. You know what I mean? I know the value of followers. You know what I mean? Like because it was a social media gimmick, he had that in his back pocket. There were just so many assets he had available to him throughout this whole experiment from the time it began that any real homeless person just does not have.

And he was completely oblivious to all of it. And like I said, even with those, he still fell well short of his actual goal and almost died. or got very ill in the process. So, like, what did you really prove here? He got his autoimmune disease, but the real straw was he decided to quit being homeless when his dad got staged four colon cancer. And wouldn't all of us like to be able to decide to be richer just because we raised their parents got cancer?

Anyway, he did have this takeaway at the end of it. We should always remember to help those in need because it could be the opportunity that they need. Yes, a lot of people just need opportunity. I'm glad, Mike, you learned that at the end. Thank you, Mike, for that being your takeaway after making a far severe existence for 10 months, trying to play act at being homeless like it was a real struggle. Anyway, to the Supreme Court.

All right. Supreme Court deeply believed, just like Mike at the beginning of this process, that being homeless is a choice. And therefore, when you see homeless people laying around, they could choose to be doing something different. Therefore, we should just arrest them to teach them a lesson, and therefore they'll stop. All right. This is about a case they heard last week called Grant's Pass for. versus Johnson. Basically, right now, it's legal to exist as a homeless person. You can only be arrested for your behavior, not like your very nature. And you can't tell someone as homeless by looking

at them. I mean, sometimes you think you can, but you can't really. And therefore, when you arrest somebody just from being homeless, it's cruel and unusual punishment, right? Because that's a state of being, not something you can control historically, unless the Supreme Court decides that you can't control it, which is what's his case is about. The idea that you can't criminalize property is based upon the Eighth Amendment and cruel and unusual punishment. Currently, it's based upon an old case of the Ninth Circuit. So, Grants Pass is a town in southwestern Oregon, it has about 40,000 people, several hundred of whom don't have housing and sleep in public parks.

In recent years, the city council attempted to drive these people out by enacting a series of ordinances that forbid them from sleeping or resting anywhere on public property. Public property being the only place they can be because they don't own any private property. If you sleep on public property, your first flight, find, then jailed for 30 days, and these offenses can pile up in mere hours. So if you sleep in a public park for eight hours, if a cop comes by every hour, you get eight tickets, that's 240 days in jail, plus fine. All right?

Right. You should know that there are no homeless shelters for adults in Grants Pass. Just one religious transitional housing program that compels participants to work full-time without pay, which you can't really save for a house, working without pay. forced them to attend religious services and other waste of time if you don't want to openly discriminates against disabled people so if you're disabled you can't even go in there

and limits stay as to one month. So if you haven't solved all your problems after being not disabled, working for free and attending church. Right. Well, it's like if you gave these people a place to stay even if, and I ain't down with the Lord, but if you gave them a place to stay for the month and you're like, you've got to come to these services we have on Sundays and Wednesdays or whatever

or you can't stay here, but that was it. Then it's like, fine. you got a place to be for a month while you figure your other shit out. But if you're making them work the whole time for no compensation, also, when are they supposed to find those bootstraps to lift themselves up from? You know what I mean? Like, how is that ever supposed to work? Like, I don't get what the end game of that is supposed to be.

It sounds like it's just like a free labor center or something. You know what I mean? It's like we get people in here who do whatever these jobs are for free and we'll rotate them in and out, and, you know, we'll just do it like that. I don't see how it helps anybody. It doesn't, but see, I see the flow on your thinking problem. It's all on your, uh, flaw in your thinking tray. What you've done is you've come to the American government for a solution to poverty

when the American government is in the business of creating more problems for poor people business. Right. Yeah, but I just, I don't get that either. Like, part of my larger thing about this is like, I don't, like all these things, it's like, oh, they make it harder for them to exist. You can't sleep here. you can't do this.

It's like criminalizing being poor. And the whole, to me, the logical end point of it all is that these people need to just go somewhere and die. They need to not exist anymore. They can't because it's like, oh, they, no, they just can't be here. It's okay. Well, then where do they go? Oh, they go over here.

They're not allowed to be there either. Then where they go, I wouldn't. And it's like, you just want them to fucking die, right? But like, of course, they won't admit that to say, no, we don't want them to die. But I don't get like. People are assets, even the most like cold mechanical perspective, you know, outlook on the whole thing is like you can make money off of people. People can be assets, whatever. Like you put, it's an investment.

I've always said this because I grew up on so many welfare programs and shit and I've paid so much more in taxes as an adult than the government ever gave me growing up. And it's like they got a pretty good return on investment for me. Like when you lift people up out of poverty, society has a whole benefits from that. it's not just giving lazy people a check like it amounts to something it can make you more money even if you're a fucking heartless plutocrat like you can make more money by these types of and they i just don't it's like it just seems more nefarious to me than that it's beyond that it's just like we just don't like them they're gross we don't like and we're upset by them we don't respect them you know like i don't know the whole thing it does i i know what you're saying like

there is a tremendously effective economic argument for what it does to elevate people out of property. Even if like, forget the tax base saying if a person, if you give like a poor school, a bunch of musical instruments and someone grows up to be Lady Gaga, I mean, just read a song that makes you happy in your car with the 10 cents in taxes you contribute to that saxophone or piano, keyboard or whatever, is that, you pay 99 cents for the fucking song. What are we talking about here? Think about the number of like prodigy geniuses that have existed around the world that died in the mud and poverty because they were born in those circumstances, never had any

chance to figure out what they were brilliant at. Like if that had not been the case, if they'd been given that opportunity, imagine how much better all of human existence might be right now if that had happened, you know, but we just don't buy into that. But going back to your question about what are they supposed to do, kill themselves. Let me quote Justice Sotomayor asking the attorney for grants pass. Are they supposed to survive? Are they just supposed to survive? Are they just supposed to kill themselves. That was the Supreme Court justice had the exact same fucking thought. So the Supreme Court hates the Eighth Amendment. They're supposedly love the Constitution, right? But they hate, they hate cruel and unusual, any rule barring

cruel and unusual punishments because they think it's based upon evolving standards of decency of society changes. But this is upside down to me, because people used to all sleep outside. Right. And the founding fathers slept out, if they were taking the fucking carry like a horse from Philadelphia to back home. Where do you think they, if there wasn't an inn around, what do you think they fucking did? They slept outside,

which would be illegal under this law. And this is about- Also, like, dude, you can, you can sleep out. Me or you, we can sleep outside if we want to. Like, if you were to go camping or go to some park or something like that

with a fucking book and just lay down and go to, or the beach. You know what I mean? Like, how many, I mean, white women be sleeping on the beaches all the time. You know what I mean? While sun tanning or whatever. Like, it's not a little just,

sleep outside. It's only illegal to sleep outside if you're fucking poor and gross and homeless and shit while you're doing it. That's when it's a problem. Trey, I just wanted you're skipping ahead, but in a really hidden way, because you're quoting Justice Sotomayor again. So Sotomayor rules, by the way, there's about there in the middle of a long, stupid debate about whether she should retire while Joe Biden is president. We have a Democratic Senate. She absolutely should. Not because of anything about her, except for the fact she's 70 and has a history of diabetes and smoked for a big portion of her life, and we can all read actuarial tables, and it might be 15 years before

Democrats, we take the Senate again. But I just want to point out that, like, you can be a Supreme Court justice because you have the perspective of a poor person. Right. But she made the point that it's like, if I go out and stargaze and I fall asleep, I don't get arrested. Right. Like everyone here is falling asleep on the beach. We don't get arrested, but a homeless person would get arrested for sleeping on the beach. So really what you're saying is, as long as you own property, it's sort of like a poll tax. for sleep. Where if you own property, you have a lease in an apartment, you can sleep outdoors

while you were. I used to take naps in the park all the time. I'd go eat lunch in the park and they would nap on a blanket. It fucking ruled. I never got hassled. Probably should have. I'm a dirtbag. But like, but thinking about this, like, this is not just, like, so do me yours are pointing about Democrats. I think, uh, I forget if Obama Clinton appointed her, but like, so like the comparison, they're trying to compare it to drugs because the Ninth Circuit case that like outlawed this kind of treatment, was about drugs, because some town, I think it was in California, tried to make it illegal to be an addict, not to use drugs or possess drugs or be high on drugs, but just to be an addict.

And they're like, well, that's a medical situation. Like, they're recovering addicts who've been sold over for 10 years. You're saying you can arrest them. So, like, it's about existing as a person. And just to remind everybody, if this doesn't occur, if you're not thinking about it this way and a legalistic way, sleep is something you need to stay alive. It's not a choice you make. All right.

right and also for the record i don't know i don't know how this is going to sound but i genuinely think if our like prison system or criminal justice system was such that it was actually rehabilitative legitimately which of course it's the furthest thing from that if it was that though i don't think i'd have a problem with people being like with people being arrested for being addicts or whatever if our focus was on actually rehabilitating people but it's not uh you know and we just treat addicts like criminals and criminals are thrown out with the trash and given no chance to rejoin society and in fact giving every incentive to go further and further away from civilized society or whatever and that's you know it's all part of the same

bullshit cycle that they're running that I feel it feels so obvious to me that it's so clearly detrimental to everything about this country and they think that this is the only way to keep it from the gates of hell by doing all this. And it's just, I just don't get it. It's also jail is hella expensive. You could put every homeless person in town up at the four seasons per cheap and you could put them in jail.

Right. It's like, that's how fucking stupid this all is. But, so anyway, like, like, anyway,

uh, when you're always comparing it, like, compared sleep to breathing. Because like, you can, like, breathing is an act.

You could outlaw breathing if you want, but we'd all die. Right. You can't out, when you outlaw sleep, just sleeping is an action someone's taking, but you can't, You can only resist it for so long.

Personally, I can go like maybe six, eight hours. Yeah, yeah. So, I'm just kidding, but the, I want to tell you, like, we tend to think that like Republicans are way worse about this, but like this homelessness is a huge problem in blue states because the weather is nice. People will, you know, we use their last 40 bucks to get a bus ticket to like a town where they have a slightly better likelihood of being treated like human beings, like San Francisco or Portland.

and not freeze to death, you know. So we have a huge reactionary problem out here. And this is not, this is, it's not totally bipartisan, but it's sort of bipartisan. For example, the woman I'm trying to find her name, Theanne Evangelis was the lawyer for the law firm representing Grants Pass, you know, trying to throw people in prison for being homeless. And she was just appointed to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Blue Ribbon Commission on Homelessness.

She's technically a Republican, I think, but this is like, how the LA County thinks about the homeless problem. And a bunch of people put out statements where they stood on this. And there were a lot of like, you know, civil rights organizations in California who were opposed to at mental health organizations. And then, of course, you got your usual players who were for it, like, you know, the chambers of commerce and the sheriff's departments, so on and so on, prosecutors' offices. Gavin Newsom, Joe Biden, LA, the city of Los Angeles, and the mayor of San Francisco all put out statements saying they were ambivalent. down the middle on this, where they see both sides. All right.

And this is like, but going back to Republicans for a second, they really do want all aspects of being poor. Republicans and Congress put out their preferred budget for next year. And part of it would ban free lunches in schools. I just don't understand how you stand up in a Congress chamber or courtroom or any of that. and openly espouse that we need to outlaw or ban free lunches for children and not realize that you're being a dick when you do that. Like, I can't imagine openly advocating for literally starving children

and treating it like some kind of bootstrapping Reaganite philosophy bullshit that they do. Like, it just blows my mind, man. Like, they're kids. I take this shit very personally because I was one of these kids but dude I I first moved down here in 2017 and one of the I went on Adam Carolla show for an hour and I talked and like you know and it was fine it was cool to me or whatever but we this subject came up and I said I was like well dude I just I was one of these kids and I just know how much I you know I'm just very grateful retrospectively for for these types

of programs and he was like I was one of those kids too and the thing is like he was that's true he grew up poor as shit he was but he's like i was one of those kids too and i think this is fucking horse shit and it's just like j d vance it's the same type of thing like i don't i don't get how people had the same experience as me but then come i guess it's just you know i can't stand ladder pullers dog or it's just ladder pullers out there but i get they get to it and it's like well i i was fine it made me better because i have you know and anybody that can't anybody that can't overcome that and become a better person through that doesn't deserve again what to be alive you know I don't I just don't get that perspective but it's a

yeah and think about like the forget like first of all there's the administrative costs of it basically be cheaper if everyone got lunch for free at school because the administrative costs of running it doesn't you don't like to pay for lunch by charging a kid a dollar 75 or whatever fucking is for their pizza it's just you means you're paying a cashier and making the line longer and shit like that there's also like the stigma aspect of what it does to a kid like dignity and self-esteem when everybody else gets lunch and he doesn't or he gets like a bologna sandwich to give kids he can't pay for it or if the kid or the the cashier has to call you out for having like a negative balance from your account or whatever and this is like

even if you want to say that it's the parents fault which I had a parents struggle too like the kid didn't do fucking shit and this is the background for this is like eight states has started offering all students regardless of how household income free school meals and these are like obviously blue states and these aren't republicans standing up for their own constituents any way shape or form this is them trying to to fuck with kids in states they don't even live in. Oklahoma has recently decided to

decline to accept free money to establish their own summer school program for children. Oklahoma's a poor-ass fucking state, man. These hungry kids could use some meals from schools during the summer. They say it's because the Biden administration is pushing a social agenda. Of course, it's always

socialism. It's the same thing. It's like, you know, Tennessee turned down all the Obamacare money and all that type of shit. And now you know, however many years later, the hospital in my hometown is closed and some of the hometowns like mine and yet people there will still line up to vote for Republicans or whatever and it's like

shit is getting worse actively because of them and they just keep voting for this is the same type of things like these people are literally taking food out of your children's mouths and and then when shit is fucked up they then blame

it on liberals even in places like Salina where it's like what have liberals had to do with the politics of Salina for fucking ever now. You know what I mean? Yeah. The amount of people I hear blame socialism every day, an economic system that we do not live under and never have.

This is like, so there are Oklahoma is one of 15 red states that have been confused to participate in the summer's, this summer's federal free lunch program fucking over their own kids. One of them in Mississippi, which just is a reminder to everybody, let Brett Fards steal a bunch of money from their state welfare program to build a volleyball facility for his daughter to play at University of Southern Mississippi or whatever. But again, going back to the, just to be even handed here, this is not totally a red state problem.

Another fuck-the-pull world and poor thing happening is last month, San Francisco had a ballot initiative, supported by, you know, rich tech bro dipshits and San Francisco's political elite that bolster plays. police power to harass the homeless, and the Proposition F required drug screening and treatment for people receiving county welfare benefits. Now, people have tried these. I understand why it sounds good in theory that you have to be clean and sober off drugs to get welfare benefits as like an incentive. But one, this is San Francisco where all the rich people are on cocaine ketamine, Elon Musk is their fucking mascot.

And otherwise, also to be reasonable, you've got to make people less sad before they stop doing drugs. That's not really how drug use works. I just, even all that aside, I've always thought it just seems blatantly unconstitutional to me. I've never understood how it's not like I, because full disclosure, here's where this is coming from.

I used to work for the federal government. We got randomly drug tested. And the whole time I was there, I was going to our union and HR and stuff and like really not putting, you know, making myself look great by being the guy who was waving this flag or carrying this torch. But I was like, what the fuck? How, like, if your boss comes to your house and says, hey, thanks for working here.

If you just step outside with your family, we're going to go inside, go through all your drawers, go through your closets, look through all your personal belongings, everything, make sure you're not doing anything up, you know, and then you can keep working later. You would tell them to go fuck themselves because that's insane. It's also protected by the Constitution, the Bill of Rights. Like, they can't do that without a warrant. I've never understood why that doesn't apply to the contents of your bloodstream. right like i don't get why it isn't treated exactly the same if you give somebody a legitimate

probable cause or whatever to check your blood for drugs fine got get a warrant just like the warrant system is fine it gets abused too but whatever it's the best we got apply that to drug test then it's fine with me but without that it just feels like fucking bullshit to me and always has i don't even feel like you need all those other arguments like it ain't the shit ain't right like it's just right also if you If you don't like, like if you, if you got to get drug tested, get free money from the government, why doesn't it apply to defense contractors? Because Elon Musk could be fucking homeless himself.

SpaceX is a defense contractor. Starlink's a defense contractor. Tesla got a bunch of government bailouts. Dude, I believe because I looked this up at the time I was working there and talking to my union rep and stuff, I found there was a Supreme Court case from like the 90s or something that found that that exact thing is unconstitutional, but it only applied to like congressional candidates or members of Congress or whatever. It only applied to them, but the exact same logic, but only to them. And it's like, you know, it's the same thing.

Like, if you're rich, the elite, they don't get drug tested. Because people think if you're in a position making that much money at that level of power, people don't think you're a lazy, worthless, like duplicitous piece of shit. But if you're a poor person, that's what they think, right? They assume all that about you and worse. And that's why it's got to be proven you're not a drug addict before, you know, you deserve to have any kind of chance. at anything in this country.

It's fucking bullshit. Yeah. And if everybody's wondering about the practicality of stuff like screening welfare recipients for drugs, none of these terrible ways to go about any things, these policies have repeatedly been found unconstitutional. They don't work and they lose tons of money. Arizona just did this and spent $2 million on testing to save $600. Yeah.

Florida also spent more money than the benefit, providing the benefits would have cost. So they're wasting extra money just to fuck over poor people, which is what this is all these things do uh fucking minneapolis just dumped a bunch of like old concrete rubble across two lots to keep homeless people from sleeping on the lots this is the blue city all right so like i like i don't understand why we're like when i look at a homeless person i see somebody who's there before the grace of god go i like literally two paychecks or something away right my wife finding a lump in her titty uh might be getting hit by a car do you know what i'm saying like and everybody else sees like a guy person they could never be but sees a policeman harassing

them and says well I could be that guy it's because dude it's because you understand how close you are to that type of reality where a whole lot of people that's not a possible reality for them and never has been and but they don't understand that it's because of just this privilege that they have the circumstances they were born into do you know what I'm saying like well I also think it's an illusion like it's like everyone thinks it can never happen to them but so So to a lot of people, man. I've met the people who like, so like you're an abused wife and you think your husband's going to kill you or your kids. You just put the kids in the car and you go and you've got no other plan and you're just homeless now and you didn't do anything wrong.

Well, the actual answer is it's just that you have empathy or whatever because we all know that a lot of times conservatives, they come around on these things when it actually impacts them personally, but it takes that to happen before they care. Their kid is gay or whatever. That's when they start to care. If we're lucky, that's when they say to care. But some people need that and some people don't. And it's a damn shame to me that so many people need that. Because we'd all be better off if you didn't need to experience it personally

to understand what it might be like or to imagine yourself in that position. But that's just not how the way, that's just not how people work a lot of them. Yeah. And I just wanted to say that's why I brought up our buddy Mike Black, who was a YouTuber who tried to make a million dollars as a homeless person over the course of a year. if any of these people, these ghouls who are pushing these policies as a Supreme Court

or wherever else think being poor or homeless is a fucking choice, I challenge them to be like Mike and put their money and their health in the line like he did, at least go try and learn a fucking lesson like the half of one he learned that it's hard and they couldn't survive it. Yeah. So there yeah. There you have it. All right, thank you
