Episode Date: April 6, 2022

Tonight we discuss how Disney's relatively mild criticism of the Don't Say Gay Bill has triggered an all out right wing crusade. It's Fox vs Mouse, only the mouse is super jacked and owns half the world. For that and a lot more, join us!.Support the show

what's up everybody welcome back and happy skews day to you it is april 5th 22 i'm trey crowder and that's mark aji what's up mark uh what's up tray uh you've been following this herschel walker college stuff uh no i have not so harsall walker of course famous alumni, well, not alumni, we'll get that a second, but play football from University of Georgia and the NFL, won a Heisman trophy. He's running for Senate against Raphael Warnock in Georgia, of course, supported by Trump. And he apparently has been going around telling everyone he graduated in the top 1% of his class at Georgia, even though he didn't graduate. And who the fuck would care anyway? And

right. Yeah. Okay. So getting a head start on, you know, the bullshit and the making stuff up and the self-aggrandizing and all that. He's just trying to find the groove. He's going to be a Republican senator from Georgia. These are your skills he's going to need to master. So, you know, I get it. Yeah, the actual quote, I guess he's been, like, because he gets hired to do like motivational speaking, of course,

which, you know, it's a good way to make money if you're retired professional athlete. But he would hold himself up as like a, like, it's like overcoming adversity because he would say stuff like this is another quote memorized, but it was essentially in high school, he used to call me the R word. He said, although he says it in corporate. It seems to call me the R word, but I would do my homework by reading to myself in the mirror and showed them, basically, which is like, they thought I was stupid, but I, but I sounded out of the words and proved them wrong. Also, like, by himself alone, or he means, like, is practice, so he could do it, yeah, either way. I don't feel like I'd be overly motivated by that.

I don't think it to be too close to following college football to know that if you're winning the Hizman trophy, you're not doing your own homework anyway. So if you could have a graduate that's not 1% if he just, you know, let his stay at all four years and let his tutor do the homework. Yeah, they famously, they don't go there to play school. They do not go there to play school? Corey reminded us that there's also this apocryful story where Herschel used to tell people that he never even lifted weights. All he did was do push-ups. Yeah, I've heard that before. Everybody on the football team would see him in the way of the room and say, why are you telling people you don't lift weights in your car?

professional athlete. It's very funny to me. Just tall tales Mark, just having a little fun with the truth. You know, playing a little fast and loose with it. Why not? Yeah, it's a little Paul bungeoning. Before we get to the show, I want to do some labor updates stuff. I don't show this video.

Amazon ate shit in their election. But that I mean, they got their ass kicked by the union. They have their first unionized warehouse. And this is like a personal struggle with this one guy. They fired two years ago for trying to organize a Union and did an all-out PR blitz led by Obama's former spokesman, Jay Carney. They pretty much make this guy look like a stupid troublemaker.

And he was like, okay, I'll make him my life's mission to ruin your life. So he started his own union and unionized Amazon warehouse. And I thought it was really funny, but Amazon's response, I guess they have an internal like slack-like platform for employees to talk to each other on. And they have banned words that include union, grievance, pay raise, living wage, representation, compensation, the word unfair. But here's the one that got me. You cannot type the word fire on Amazon's internal communication platform.

So if you want to go into like go to the whole warehouse, like, hey, the building's on fire. Get out. That will not post. Right. It'd be like the building is emulated. The building is like, what's another word for fire? Yeah. Can't get through this firewall.

Shit, I can't say that either. Yeah. Not everybody's happy about it, though. I do have this clip. Let's watch right here. Some of you guys are really not thinking about the ramifications, okay, of something like this on a company like Amazon. So Jim Kramer can explain it for us.

Well, we know that the union work rules are what everything is about. It's the same case with Starbucks, too. If you can't tell your employees when they work, then you're really not able to have much of an ability to be able to move product or move coffee. And I think the people, the unions will be in charge. of time that you need to work and that would be dreadful for uh very dreadful for any jess oh yeah sounds terrible people so it it's not you guys don't work in your next profession this not

the unions make the rules the rules are just negotiated with the employer right right so when you're saying you can't set work schedule is saying you can't make people work 14-hour shifts without extra compensation with no notice right right yeah he goes on to say I don't want to watch the whole thing, but he goes on to talk about how, like, he's like, you know, if you've got a very important shift and people just don't want to work it, you're just not going to be able to get anyone to work that shift. And then what's going to happen? It's like, pretty sure if you offer enough overtime or extra compensation, if it's that important, you'll have some takers on it because that's how it's all supposed to work. Like, I think they'll figure it out. It's like, literally, listen, if we can't essentially enslave these people and micromanage every facet of their lives, then what is. this all even for? Like we might as well shut it all down right now. We can't be overlords. What's the point of running a business? We've talked to this before, but these guys totally forget how capitalism works when it comes to like labor. It's like if you say if you're the De Beers diamond family and you create an artificial scarcity in the diamond market by withholding stores in a locker,

that's smart business. But if you're a group of workers and you band together to withhold your labor to get a higher price for it, that is. communism right anyway if you think about like if I can't buy labor at the exact price I want then my business isn't a function well I want a fucking Ferrari all right

there's a price point at which I can buy a Ferrari I don't have that money so therefore Ferrari should have to give it to me at a lesser value because I'm a business lead and it doesn't make any sense um cram mentioned Starbucks Starbucks Starbucks is also

fighting a big union driver I think they've had like a dozen stores or so unionized, which is, of course, a panic level-inducing an event for the executive suite. Someone asked Starbucks founder, Howard Schultz, how he's going to win back unionizing Starbucks workers.

And he unveiled his big plan, that's how the business reporter put it. Quote, we're going to be in the NFT business. Oh, yeah. So, there you go. Who needs unions when you got, you know,

digital monkey paintings or whatever they're going to be, you know, Starbucks. Starbucks logos, but digitized, that'd be worth some money someday. Yeah, instead of enough money to buy food, we're going to give you a JPEG of a monkey smoking a blunt holding a Starbucks cup on the blockchain, and therefore get her employees back. So, yeah. That's right.

You love to see it. You do. All right. Listen, everybody. I've made it almost eight minutes without telling you, and it's time to tell you now. Producer Matt is not with us today. all this you see these great overlays all these videos and stuff's going on that's me i'm doing that you know no need for applause it's going to be all right but now i do want you all to bear with me

tonight you know i struggle enough just keeping up with mark when it comes to just talking but i'm going to be the one on all the clips i'm on the ones and twos over here i will probably screw them up at least a few times but like i said bear with me matt is on his way to the goddamn white house as i understand it just so everybody knows you guys you may or may not recall producer Matt, he's not just an intrepid producer here at the skews. No, that's but a hobby for him. He's a organizer, has his own nonprofit, rural organizing.com. He's one of the people that actually does stuff, as opposed to just saying stuff like me and Mark. And as part of that, he's on his way to the White House for some bill signing or hobnobbing or some such. Yeah, so shout out to

Matt. It's a reform of the Postal Service that Matt and his group, they gathered 400 signatures, support 1,000 signatures to get that to help turn this into a law. So that's why he's been invited to the White House. Or I would say that is his cover because what Matt is really doing, he's going undercover for Skews Nation to uncover the pedophile tunnels. He's going to find the people. That's right. He's scouring through the pedophile tunnels as we speak.

The catacombs below D.C. Matt is on the case. Okay. So moving on, as usual, I do want to make the requisite announcements, first of all, If you're vaccinated, I didn't want to see me live.

We would appreciate it. All right. On the show tonight. Last Thursday's episode, I learned a lot because this was suggested by a user. We started off talking about these wacky group of all about it conservatives in eastern Oregon who really, really want to be a part of Idaho, and they have a plan, and it's hilarious. How about that?

Did you ever think you'd hear it? People lining up to get into Idaho or become part of Idaho. You know why? Because in Idaho, they ain't got no goddamn Portland. That's what they've got. You ask these people, the problem with Oregon. Portland. Idaho, notable lack of Portland. So they're trying to get some of that Idaho action. Zero Portland's in Oregon. No Antifa presence at all. Yeah, there's a whole, there's a bunch of

people out there trying to secede from things. And we covered them on Patreon this week. Okay, tonight on this here program, we will be talking about how the mild retroactive criticism of Florida's Don't Say Gay Bill by Disney has ignited a full on right wing crusade. It's Fox versus is mouse and it's starting to heat up we'll get into it all a little later um but first as always we will begin with the daily dumbass tray graphic please yeah how about that pretty slick right yeah okay well tonight's dd is whoever decided to hire a 90s infomercial host to coach jd vance in advance of this campaign ad, which came out today. All right. I hope you all can hear this. Here we go. Are you a racist? Do you hate Mexicans? No. He calls us racist for wanting to build

Trumps. All right. So I just look, that's the way he delivers that, it sounds exactly like, like I said, those infomercials where it start out and it's like, do you live alone? Are you having trouble sleeping and it's like you can tell that the implied response is in the affirmative right like i do live alone i am having trouble sleeping so when he opens this ad for the republican primary for senate in ohio and he's like are you racist do you hate mexicans it just you just picture people in ohio going i am i do hate racist why do you ask j d yeah i mean it's like even like the the infomercial example is a good one because even in those old infomercial The implied answer was always yes, even with the question, it was ridiculous.

It was going to be like, is this you? And so somebody trying to, like, open a can with like a spoon? Right. And it's like, well, have you heard of can openers? It's like, oh, shit, yeah. So like, it's always, the implied answer is always yes in a commercial. Exactly. So it's an odd choice to open with, are you racist?

Do you hate Mexicans? All right. Well, watch the rest of this because he says one more thing, at least. One more thing in particular that really struck a chord with me in a negative way. So let's watch the other 24 seconds of this real quick. They censor us, but it doesn't change the truth. Joe Biden's open border is killing Ohioans, with more illegal drugs and more Democrat voters pouring into this country.

This issue is personal. I nearly lost my mother to the poison coming across our border. No child should grow up an orphan. I'm JD fan. Okay. So, all right. Now, maybe I'm forgetting or misremembering something. but so he says he talks about his mother's struggle with addiction in hillbilly elegy his famous book my mom also struggled with addiction thing is and they were both

pill billies as i recall now i don't remember mexicans bringing my mama her perka set i don't like big pharma they're mexicans now also you know that this motherfucker's in big farmer's pocket he's got to be i guarantee he is and so to to sit there and say to try to play that card, like, listen, I know what this is like. My family struggled with addiction, but then to turn it into a racist dog whistle as opposed to calling out the corporate overlords that owned you and everybody else is just super, super gross. Yeah, any pills that are coming back across the Mexican border are like for health problems because of pills are really expensive in America.

But, you know, it's not what kind of pills aren't really expensive to America because Medicaid was buying for people like J.D.'s mom is fucking opioids. And none of the stuff is a border problem. I mean, heroin maybe for once people get hooked and they can't find pills. But like fentanyl's made in like chemistry sets in bathtubs now. People are just made it, it, it's totally disconnected from reality. Mexicans are not the problem with fucking pill up there. Exactly.

Well, and it's the thing is it's like, it's also just like chapter one of their playbook too, to deflect very real problems onto. you know, minorities or just to get people riled up with racism over real problems that people really struggle with, but just completely bullshitting what the actual causes are or where their anger should be directed. Like, that's all, that's what they do. It's just a little wild to me to see it so, like, just brazenly executed as it was right there. Because, like, it's just, I don't know. It's just over the top. Especially, especially because, like, it's so disconcessantly. connected, that you can be, did it a raid on your wedding day, Mexicans.

Right. That's how far apart the two things are. It's like, oh, yeah, you're going to fear. Like, yeah, you know, they do rain dances too, right? Yeah, Mexican, they got, yeah, you didn't know that, but they got rain dances too. They do them all the time. Come up here when they're on their break from taking your job. They're out there doing rain dances to ruin your wedding day.

That's right. What's next, Mexicans? I mean, if you got a coat problem, like, at least that maybe did come from Mexico, but also you're the one taking the Coke. So I don't know how to like, you know, square those two circles. It's like, we all believe in personal responsibility except when it's our problem and someone else did it. So, you know, whatever.

But it's a big day in the always insane Ohio Senate race. Josh Mandel, he put out his own campaign ad. And, you know, not to be outdone, it's pretty wild too, especially the opening of it. Critical race theory is crap. Martin Luther King marks right here. So skin color wouldn't matter. I didn't do two tours and I'm off. Mission accomplished.

Martin Luther King, good job. I'm sure Martin Luther King, if he was here, would agree that he was successful in vanquishing racism from the face of this country and would be grateful for Josh Mandel for letting people know that fact. But yes, in case you couldn't hear it, he said Martin Luther King marched across this very bridge. so that race would not matter or so that skin color wouldn't matter or something like that. And it's just a hell of the thing to say.

And he totally defeated racism. Nobody had Google why he was shot. The rest of that I add is him like pictures of him of him in Iraq, which he's really leading into as part of his closing message in this primary that he was served. And you know, I'd have a good job serving.

He's just pictures of him with like other guys in his unit who happen to be of color. So you can't call me. me racist. Right. I had black friends. Well, black coworkers.

They were there. Yeah, right. Friends might be going a little far, but I took pictures with them. I mean, come on. You ever known a racist, take pictures of black guys? Thought not. Uncle Sam told him to hang out with me and they had to do it or go to federal prison so you cannot call me racist.

Another thing I thought, and this might be reaching, but at the end of that campaign ad, he says, if you need a senator who will fight for you, then send in the Marine. And it made me wonder, I was like, I wonder if him and his team landed on that. If they landed on, I'm a Marine and I'll fight for you like a Marine, if they landed on that before he tried to whip that papal's ass, like if he knew that was going to be a part of his messaging, you know, and then he goes to a debate and he's like, well, I'm going to whip his papal's ass because I fight for people because I'm a Marine. Or he's just, you know, doing his alpha male bullshit and it was just a side effect of it. It's hard to tell because everything about this dude seems both very calculating and like he's totally out of control. It's like a weird mix of stuff. Like I think we, I don't know if we talked about on the show, but I know we both read that profile of him, I think, in Politico, where he was like a very moderate Republican in college.

Yeah, he was very outspoken about like the importance of affirmative action and the importance of diversity and inclusion. He wrote whole like papers about how vital diversity was and the voices and experiences of people of color and all this shit. And then now he's saying that, you know, racism's over. They, you know, we defeated it long ago. The, I just remember the end of that profile. There's a very telling scene where he had like, he lost his last Senate campaign, but it was a scorched earth things just like this was. And they've done a bunch of vicious, disingenuous text against a woman he was running against. And like the last time he ran into where he got down on his knees and begged for forgiveness.

Now, so what I say is like both unhinged and desperately, you know, opposer. It's like which part of that is fake? One part is unhinged. I don't know which part it is. I guess I would prefer to him to be a decent person behind the scenes in the maniac in public, although I'm not sure that's better,

but it's... Right. Yeah. Now, it's wild up there, but moving on, our first honorable mention for Daily Dumbass is these damn foreigners for always trying to trick us with spelling.

Like we don't know how to pronounce their names, okay? What am I talking about? Donald Trump, on one again. Here we go. One of the ten impeachers. A guy who spells his name, M-E-I-J-E-R, but they pronounce it Meyer.

The hell kind of a spelling is that? Meyer. Meijer. It's Meijer, but it's actually pronounced Meyer. I said, how the hell do you pronounce this guy's name? Nobody knows him. He's done nothing in Washington. I said, how do you pronounce his name?

is it major majeer they said it's mire how the hell do you get mire out of it didn't colbert find out that his family name was actually drumpf originally wasn't that a thing yeah i think yeah i think it was a uh it might have been uh john oliver but yeah like okay so yeah he uh yeah trump's family he's german or tells people it it doesn't matter but like he got americanized at some point so it's like drulf turned it to trump america's i bet he's got a lot of like Polish or Eastern European descent, like hardcore Trump fans out there in the Midwest with some wild ass last names, you know what I mean, that he would never be able to figure out how to pronounce.

It was just like just going in on for no reason. Like he ain't got like some Shishovsky's, you know, bad example maybe with people like that. Chishevsky definitely loves Trump to right. Okay. Well, there you go. All right. Yeah. Yeah.

So the guy's talking about Peter Meyer is a Republican from Michigan. This rally was in Michigan, that's why he's talking about him. Now, even though he was a Republican, Trump hates him because he voted for the January 6th commission, and he voted to hold ban and contempt for ignoring a subpoena for the January 6th commission. So that's why he doesn't hit for Trump. But also, not only is Michigan full of people with, like, Nordic and German last names, who this joke probably doesn't make any sense to, but also Peter Myers family, they got their money. from a huge chain of grocery stores

with their name on it in Michigan. It'd be like not knowing how to say Kroger in most of the country. So it's just like the crowd hooting like a bunch of fucking baboons. Right. Don't even agree with the premise of his joke. You are so right about that.

I didn't even think about that. But yeah, he's in the region where that supermarket chain dominates or is very prevalent. So those people 100% know how to pronounce it. And they're still just, you know, hooting like monkeys whenever he talks shit about the way the family name is pronounced. I didn't even think about that part, but you're completely right. But he was in Florida, like Publix.

How the fuck do you get Publix out of P-U-B-L-I-X? We've got a fucking idiot in a crowd full of Floridians who just shopped at Publix 10 minutes ago. It was like, yeah, fuck yeah. Yeah. I can't believe he was president again in two years. I know. Oh, my God. Yeah.

All right. Well, let's, what are we got next? Next honorable mention, anyone who doesn't know that Space Forces mission extends to polling locations in Iowa. Okay. This one I've got to share real quick. Let me get pulled up. You're meant to do this already and didn't. I'm sorry, I'm talking my way through it. That's what I'm doing. Here it goes.

And there we got. The election, I believe, was stolen. But we know that. Space Force has it all. Trump has all the, all the information. it's going to be overturned. What do you think Space Force has? Space Force is a military branch of the, you know, just like the Army, you know, all the military.

And they literally walk up here. Okay. If you're wondering if it starts making sense, the answer is no, it does not spark. Here's what I think happened. I think at some point she heard the like the voter fraud line that they put out there. Like somebody harping on about liberals and voter fraud and they said that illegal. Aliens are voting for Democrats or something in record numbers. And she heard that and she was like, aliens are voting for Democrats now?

We've got to get Space Force on this. The only, this is the only agency that can combat this problem with the election is Space Force. Otherwise, I don't know what the fuck she's talking about. So she says it's just like the Air Force. I was like, what actually is? Because I forgot. I mean, we all heard about it when Trump started and we laughed about it. When they debuted the, you know, the uniforms that were like stormtroopers.

and they were called they're calling them defenders or something right not instead of airmen or soldiers or seamen and so i was like there are a sub-department of the air force they're not really even though they're own branch it's more like they started like these the air the other air force unit with different you know uniforms but 6500 people now work for space force and they're not going to space so i guess they got to do something so maybe the art is fucking around about i think it's because i also just the other day happened to randomly like remember space force and was also curious and I looked it up and I was like holy shit they are an actual ongoing thing because I was like you it came up everybody laughed about it and I thought just went away but it does exist and I was reading you know just people on the internet I don't know I didn't like fact check this or nothing saying that it's like it's like satellite stuff you know what I mean like things with like defense or military like satellites that we have in space that that now falls under the person of Space Force I guess yeah so that's what they're doing but yeah they're not like, you know,

like building a barracks on the moon or nothing like that. They're not doing zero-g combat drills or nothing. That would be rad. Pointless. Stupid. But rad. But no, they're doing satellite shit.

Fun fact, I feel like everyone forgot. But like when Trump formed the Space Force, his administration of incompetence forgot to first get the trademark before they announced it. So the title, the right to Space Force is owned by the Netflix show Space Force. That's so funny.

If in the future of Space Force is somehow popular and their kids are in Space Force and they want to wear a hat that says my son is in Space Force, that'll be going. That money will be going to Netflix, baby, not the United States government. Just very briefly, I remember because, you know, as I've said before, I used to work for the U.S. Department of Energy and for a while I did interagency agreements. And I remember one time I got assigned an interagency agreement with the U.S. Navy Space Warfare Center. I know because I remember being like fucking what space warfare holy shit what's you know I thought was going to be something sweet but it was uh you know it was similar shit I believe like satellite type stuff so I'm saying I think that like I think that a lot of the stuff that they are doing is just shit that has been done you know already it's just Trump made Space Force

now it falls under Space Force's umbrella but um and none of it's as cool as it sounds all right what we got next here mark help me because we don't have met with this we usually communicate in the chat and figure this stuff out but we'll just say it out loud do you want to skip to Disney or do you want to do some more dumbasses

well let's say yeah let's just throw this one up at least briefly because this is so insane I'm wondering if you have more information on this than I do I saw this at first but I don't know the detail so y'all apparently this lady got found with like five fetuses in her crib what crib poor choice of words i guess in her house i mean uh but she's a hardcore anti-abortion so anti-abortion

activist she had five fetuses in her uh domicile and she said she knew people were gonna freak out when they heard about it and i'm like yeah probably because that's pretty fucking freaky like holy shit so yeah what what information do you have about this do you know more about what the fuck this is all about so what they're a servant of warrant for is she what she does and around mostly around the dc area but she also travels around is still just like basically walk in through a fit and occupy abortion clinics because she's the type of person who thinks that you know plan parenthood uh is doing abortions they can sell body part of an infant body parts um and she did that recently around dc and so like the the the uh clinic fired charges

against her, you know, trespassing, that type of shit, all the stuff you can charge a person with and they come in your place of business and just fuck shit up. And I'm not sure where she got the fetuses. No one said that. Maybe she stole it. That's like a wild piece of information that everyone doesn't have. Do you know what I mean? Like I feel like one of the first questions that would come. Maybe there's like legal reasons why they can't even be speculated or whatever. I don't know. But it's just like this story raises a lot of questions. to which, as far as I'm aware, there are no answers so far

or satisfying answers. Just spitballing, right? I don't see where this is going. One of the things these groups do is they make a lot of thick mythology. Like, you'll see stories about, like, in the middle of an abortion, the baby's hand reached out and grabbed the doctor's finger

and he had a change of heart and realized abortion was wrong at it. They also dummy up a lot of, like, like make a lot of macabre images to hang outside of abortion clinics. I'm going to assume she went through the same channels you do like you're doing any other medical research and acquired these fetuses and was trying to use them to make some shitty prop artwork of abortion's gone wrong and just had coolers full of fetuses in her house just happened to the day the cops came. Yeah. I figured something similar that she had it for like, if I had them for like propaganda purposes or something like that.

But it's a wild thing for somebody that's hardcore anti-abortion to have like a stash of dead fetuses and also presumably plans for those, you know, to further her own political, you know, it's almost like these people aren't, you know, all there, possibly some of them. These hardcore extremists starting to think that they're not like entirely well adjusted some of these people. she's uh you know she wants to save all the fetuses and first you got you know to make an omit you got to brick a few eggs right so yeah indeed you do uh all right let's uh we're definitely gonna save so i guess we can you know tease it a little bit there's a new lunatic on the scene that we're gonna talk about in a future episode for sure but we'll save it is that stew peters and he's a he's a wild guy he's got everything he's a new bag of shock jock he's the next to alex jones probably uh he's a former bounty hunter he's gotten people killed on his YouTube and he loves to rap and we're going to talk about it. So we'll talk about him more later on, but yeah, in the interest of time, let's do, I want to do just one more

because it's always good to hear Lauren Bobert being stupid and the worst. So we'll hear this clip from her talking about Katanji Brown Jackson. Wow. I'm not a biologist, so I think she's a black woman. I'm not

exactly sure. I'm learning that there's new stipulations. Maybe if we could ask her a couple of questions, like, do you have to have a fancy coffee with six additives in it, you know, different creams and foam? Are you always cold? Does it take you three hours to decide what you want to have for dinner? Maybe those are the questions we need to ask her to find out if she is indeed a woman. So it wasn't until her third, second or third punchline, but I realized she was being misogynistic and not racist. I, dude, I don't know if this is exactly what you mean, but the way those first ones started, I was.

like, is she going to end this with like, because that's the only way to tell if she's a black or a white woman. Like I thought she was like listing off white lady things. Yes, yes, yes. Like the moca, the latte, all that shit she was saying. I also thought that was going to end on a, you know, because if she says yes, then clearly she's a white lady, a white woman, you know. Or I couldn't believe that wasn't where it was going. But yeah, no, she was just making old hack anti-women shows. I cannot believe you're running.

You're a woman who's running for re-election for a position of power on the women don't hit platform. Dude, her and Large Brain, Marge, both are doing that because we don't have it in the lineup. But I saw a thing from her a couple days ago where she was quoted at some fundraiser or something. Somebody asked her to define a woman. So Kataji Brown Jackson got asked by fucking sorry-ass Marsha Blackburner. She could define a woman. It was some transphobic shit that she didn't really play into. That's why they're all bringing this up.

And somebody asked Marjorie Taylor Green about how she would define a woman, and she was quoted as saying, well, we are the weaker sex. We are our husband's wives. That's how she defined a woman. So it's like there's plenty of, apparently if you're a woman in the Republican Party right now, you have to run on the women don't hit platform mark, which I mean, you know, yeah, of course you do. It's the Republican Party. You can't run on women do hit in the Republican Party. that's how women get hit in the Republican Party you know what I'm like it's like it is like interesting to me

because that's some of super old school misogyny like you know how like when JFK ran for president as the first Catholic they're like well he's just going to do whatever the Pope says so if you vote for a Catholic president you're just elected to the Pope president he's not even a citizen right so it was the same thing against women candidates like well they're just going to do what their husband says so

just vote for the man because at least you know he's going to do he's in control of like but they're openly saying I'm going to do what my husband says also Lauren Bowers husband's a sex offender. So, like, there you go. Pulls his dick out the bowling alley. Mark, what you said about vote? Did you know that Alabama did literally exactly that with Lurlene Wallace, George Wallace's wife?

No. George Wallace ran out his term limits and he wanted to just alter Alabama's constitution where there were no more term limits so he could just be king of Alabama forever. But they didn't get that pushed through in time. So what he did instead was he ran his wife for governor. And it wasn't even really a winking thing. was just them, her, him, everybody, just being like, look, so I'm going to be the governor, right? But, you know, you got to put her name down, but she's going to let me, ain't there right, Lurlaine?

And she's just like, yep, I've never been a politician. She literally was saying things like that. It's like, I've never, I've never thought of myself as a politician. I didn't want it anyway. And she got elected, and then they pushed that legislation through revising the term limit. laws and George Wallace became governor himself again after that so yeah pretty wild shit uh yeah there's a reason that drive-by truckers have at least two or three songs just all about how george wallace is burning in hell and uh they're all great yeah uh okay so let's let's get into it

something that uh should have had my wife on to talk about i believe i've said on here before she's a she's a disney fanatic and she's a disney adult she's a disney adult she's a disney adult she is is big time. And her people, they're under fire right now from the right. Disney. They've upset. They've pulled on the tiger's tail or the fox's tail, as it were, by what exactly did they do? They kind of implied that I know at first with the don't say gay bill came out. Disney was taking shit from the left for it because they had like donated money to the politicians who authored the bill and everything. And they were like, well, listen, we're going to make aerial gay

so shut up it'll be fine you know like that was their initial response but then eventually after more backlash they said okay it's bad they shouldn't do that and now the right hates them is that basically what happened yeah they basically

all over a press release they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna they have an anti-micke mouse jihad that is like I've come out in some really cynical and revealing but also comical ways I guess like they're talking about boycotts

we'll get to the business stuff in a minute but basically Disney has a privileged position in Florida politics California politics too because they're such a large employer and they're basically giving away the game by saying we've been doing crony capitalism for you this whole time now we're going to do crony capitalism against you

and it's they don't actually believe this because as George W. Bush family just said, the business of America's business. As long as Disney's making money and Republicans need money, it's not actually going to do anything, I seriously doubt. But all these fucking bullshit and lies, just lying about their own bill.

Everybody knows that, I think, by now, that there was a really funny thing that was viral. It was a teacher from Florida was like, okay, well, if we can't talk about sex or gender identity and school, then we're not going to talk, we're not going to use anyone's gendered pronouns. Love it. We're not going to, any mention of married people and any books coming out.

So great. And a concern has got really, really mad about it. This is what your fucking bill asks us to do. Exactly. Yeah. Now, that shit was malicious compliance. Yes. Absolute pinnacle as far as I'm concerned.

Just like, okay, we're not allowed to teach about gender or gender roles or anything that. Well, guess what? That applies to straight people too. So now your little cutesy husband and wife stories, that's also a no-go. for first graders and everybody's got to be called they and everything's got to be completely gender neutral and there's no such thing as you know heterosexual relationships either and yeah they weren't expecting that the i've never heard the term bellicious compliance before but i think we're all familiar with it like you're in a fight with your wife's like oh you want me to load the dishwasher

i'm going to shove the dog in it it's like one of the same yeah exactly yeah it's a there's like a whole subreddit for and everything but it's exactly that it's you know they're complying with the law But doing so maliciously, and it's often beautiful, as it is in this case. It won't. I mean, obviously, these guys are idiots. They write laws poorly. But, like, it won't work out. Let's make it the law empowers parents to sue, and no one's going to sue someone for mentioning

they have a wife if they're a straight dude. They're only going to sue the other way around, right? So it's not going to work, but it is funny. But a lot of the rubs don't get this is a business negotiation. For example, Marjorie Taylor Green is just straight up con and fucking pedophiles. Yep. Yeah. It's weird. You know, Marjorie Taylor Green being like extreme in her rhetoric, but it's true. Let's see here. There's what she had to say about it.

The immoral, disgusting evil left is attacking our children. They are child predators. And I'm not kidding you. Look at what is happening in Disney right now. Disney wants to completely take your children and they want to indoctrinate them. into sexual immoral filth. The immoral... Sexual immoral filth, now... I mean...

Go ahead. I mean, beauty in the beast is literally beastiality, you know? They want you to make... They want you to make you think elephants can fly if they have a feather. They want... Is it critical race theory to make you think crows are racist, tray? I can't have figured this... So, I'm about to...

Like, there's no telling where all this is about to go. But, yeah, you made me think of a lot of things just now. Like, number one, they... like this isn't the first time that they've gotten pissed at Disney for being immoral by the way I remember specifically it was a big deal when Disney first started having I believe they first started having gay pride parades at Disney World in like the late 90s or something like that early 2000s and they were talking about boycott Disney then and I remember Corey tells the story about being in his church when he was in high school and they were going through all that and he was like

what about ESPN and they were like what are you talking about he was like Disney owns ESPN and they were like well I mean we ain't gonna we're not gonna do that you know what I mean and it's like they're not going to boycott this anybody with little kids is not going to be boycotting all Disney properties I don't give a fuck what they say but the things

these people go ahead I was funny that you mentioned that because I just interrupted boy JD Vance at this other day first he posted Disney has profited off government handouts for decades it's time for that to stop no more copyright exchanges or other handouts Disney is declared war

America's children. It's town we fight back. There's a picture of a sinister mouth in front of like a, it looks like a symbol for communist China where Tinkerbell is holding a switchblade knife or some shit. It's fucking ridiculous. And then literally like 12 hours later, my kids are sick. My wife is out of town. So of course, even being a terrible father, we're just watching Star Wars.

Where do you find Star Wars, Dre? Right. Yeah, man. No, I know. And so, but like, but the other thing is like the things that these people get mad at, Like, you know, you made some jokes about all they fucking, you know, the, uh, the elephant flying and all that stuff. But like Disney, when they say things like sexual immoral filth, I'm like, what are you trying to twist into falling under that umbrella that Disney is putting out there? Because Disney isn't known for taking the gloves off in terms of content all that often.

I know that they, their most recent movie, I think, was this movie called Turning Red, where a, girl turns into a red panda and this this movie was more geared towards like tweens it has a lot to do with uh period going through your period and becoming a woman and the effect and it's all a metaphor for like for that becoming a woman's very geared towards girls but like a little bit older than a lot of the other disney cartoons but it's very well done naturally and people katie was telling me people were furious about how inappropriate that was you know it's like i don't need my kids asking me these kinds of questions this whole thing

of like whose bit was it where it's like so you don't want to raise them like you don't you don't ever want to have to raise

explain anything to them ever no matter what happens in the world but so it's funny it's funny that was the backbacks my wife and I watched the movie

it was very enjoyable my wife's beef with it was the thing is this girl gets her it's not her period but their mom thinks she got her period

which starts turning out of the panda at age 13 everyone's reaction is but it's so early and my wife's like girls get their period like 10 or 11 this is like weird it's right everyone's thinking period i was like well you want to make parents comfortable no one wants to think their kid turning into a sexual adult like 10 or 11 years old so they're just they're fudging it to make parents more comfortable and instead the reaction was the other way around where they're still they're still sexualizing kids who are literal little become literal biological adults anyway whatever yeah i know and they're they're they're like they're like teenagers in that movie and their teenage girls

girls or tweens, whatever, they're close to it. So, like, they like boys and they talk about it and whatnot. And it's like, that's the type of thing that they're like, this is sexual immoral filth. Because you watch a lot of Disney movies if I had and you hear rhetoric like this, you're like, what are they talking about? They've got to be reaching at least a little bit. And on that note, this guy has, he's found a real, a very egregious example of the type of immoral filth that Disney's getting up to, all right? If you got any like, you know, innocent eyes or ears in

the room, I want to get them out of here, okay? Because this is, this is pretty extreme, guys, but you've been forewarned. This is what Disney's doing. Disney has for the longest time been a children entertainment institution. This is a gift card taken last week at a Target store. What do you see? What do you see in that? What do you see in that image? Do you see Minnie in a dress? Or do you see Mickey holding a penis? The people at Disney are pedophiles.

Okay, now look, I ain't going to sit here and act like I can't see a dick in that card, that gift card. But it's so, it's so funny. It's like he's like, if he brought up some other cartoon where they're like eating bananas or something, he's like as if Disney doesn't know that every young man who sees someone eating a banana immediately thinks about sucking dicks and we can't have our kids thinking about sucking things like every man knows that as a man when you see something phallic you're going to start thinking about dicks all the time it's hard enough to not think about dicks every day anyway and now you've got to go to the store and just see them out there and everybody's

just listening like uh i don't think we're all thinking about dicks as much as much as you are that you're seeing a lot of dicks and a lot of places. As you know, I'm a pretty big pervert. And the first time I saw that video, I had like squint look to see it. I don't know. I can't see it because like it's mini side.

He's got his hand around her side. And her side straight. And then the shoulder pad and her dress looks like a little bit ahead of a dick. I'm like, oh, I see it. But it's like, you got to really want it. You never really want it.

Before he zoomed in and set it when he just put it up there, I was like, is he really about to make some kind of comment about how like they're not married? And they're, because I really thought it was going to be something like that. It's like a public display of affection between these two characters and how that's not Christ-like or something. And then it was a dick. And then once I heard it was a dick, I was like, oh, yeah, I could kind of see the dick in that. But still, it's just, they do, this is also a QAnon thing, by the way. I know because I remember watching some of those crazy Q&Non videos.

and that was the thing they were doing with Disney movies. So they got like Q&N researchers sitting in their basements and stuff, just going through and circling dicks they think they see in every scene of cartoons and stuff. And it's like, these people are something else, man. Truly wild. Disney movies do have weird, coded, I mean, not coded as if they're trying to get anything across. But, like, for example, the hyenas in Lion King are definitely coated as black, right?

and then you have like every Disney villain pretty much is coded as gay but not just gay but British but like Jafar and Scar are like the reason my whole childhood I thought all British people were gay and evil

and the evil part's pretty true the evil the evil thing is okay they think the colonialism I get it but like it's like oh well British people gay right it's like oh yeah good Lord

yeah but there's I don't know when we were I know we talked right before the show about bringing this up so I guess I'll just do it now but also they're like like I said the Q&N thing and they're all crazy about this we talked on recent episodes about how they're so hardcore right now about like child sex predators it's a huge problem on the left to hear them tell it they've got to snuff it out they're you know really thinking of the children won't somebody think of the children we're the ones thinking of the children meanwhile among many other similar examples you can find my home state of Tennessee today has put forth, the Republicans there have put forth a new bill which one of the, which includes a loophole which would effectively legalize child marriage in the state of Tennessee. It's a bill that, that's a bill that's aimed at getting around gay marriage being legal by inventing a whole new form of super marriage between only a man and a woman so that they can go back to discriminate against gay people. But this new type of marriage they outline in the bill does not include an age requirement.

So it de facto makes child marriage legal. And they're just like, yeah, well, you know, it's worth it to get after the gays again. And it's like the, you know, the kids in cages, how they fuck them, taking their goddamn lunch away from them if their parents can't pay their, you know, lunch bill and myriad other ways in which they fuck children over repeatedly. And some of them, like Matt Gates, reportedly actually fuck children. And they're just, they just roll with all of that while screaming till they're blue in the face about the horrors of, you know, child sex predators among the people left. It's just, it's wild.

That bill is so dumb, even though I read a bunch about it. I can't quite figure out what they're trying to accomplish because it's like a common law marriage, but for kids. And common law marriage is like if you've cohabitated for like certain amount of years and then you speak it out loud, then you can be treated as a married couple legally. But, like, so, like, if, say, is people going to be automatically married to their step-sister? I think they're just, they're trying to make it to where there will be a type of marriage in Tennessee that only heterosexual people are able and allowed to have is how I understand, what I understand the point of it to be. But also, it does not specify an age requirement. So it can be as long as there, as long as it's a man and a woman, it can be a man and a fucking 10 year old girl as far as this law is concerned. Now, what's important, Mark, is that there ain't no gays getting married under this umbrella.

That's how it seems to me. Gay 12 year olds, you can't be forced into marriage. Take that. So this isn't just hypothetical. Somebody dug this up. There's a guy in the Tennessee house by the name of John Rose. And someone found his engagement in a house. from a couple years of back.

They got married in 2011, and according to their engagement announcement, she graduated high school in 2007. And this engagement photo, he's pretty clearly already middle-aged. So she's about 21 years old, and he's, I don't know, these guys always look older than they are. So it looks like 52, but I'm going to guess he's 36 of races. So, like, how the fuck do they meet? Somebody goes back and finds the first news article which they're mentioned in together. he was in the board directors for the FFA and she accepted a grant

there she is at like 16 years old in an FFA jacket in this picture accepting an award from the guy who was a partner of her future husband that guy isn't even the only one in the Tennessee state level Republican Congress

who you could say that same thing about. I know because the guy that's from Katie's hometown, her district, he was a high school basketball coach for years who got caught eventually fucking around with at least one, if not multiple players they had while he was the coach and they were in high school. Everybody knows it. He got reelected.

He's still the guy. So the people signing this bill, at least a couple of them in Tennessee, have been known to target teenage girls. So, you know, it's not just like, you can't just say, it's like, oh, it's an over. Which would be a hell of a thing to say anyway. It's like, oh, they just missed it. It's like, that's a hell of a thing to miss. Probably should address that, you know.

But it's, uh, it's nefarious and it's shitty. Yeah. I mean, they remember to include incest. So they did, they did remember that. Right. Thank God for that. Uh, but like, it's worth remembering that the previous Republican Speaker of the House was, of course, John Boehner, about Paul Ryan, before that John Boehner. the one before that was Dennis Hastert, who's currently in prison for molesting a bunch of boards, right?

Mark Foley was a Republican, was harassing gay, it happened to be gay, that doesn't matter, but he was harassing pages in Congress. We don't have to list long, a lot of sex offenders that have worked in Republican politics, but like, here's a guy that worked in the Republican White House in Trump's White House. And I can't even, like, we talk about some pretty gross stuff on this show. I'm going to try to censor this, because even make the words come to my mouth. this is rough he was on the internet said his preference was for babies they were absolutely his favorite

he was searching for like child porn and babies specifically I mean yeah and not just babies but people doing violent stuff to babies I'm not going to read it that's what I'm saying and then and these people are the ones

crucifying Mickey Mouse right now for I mean again what like Dix they see and gift card like what is even what actual examples are they even pointing to that's represents this fucking filth that Disney's putting out there to the kids it's you know it's it's it's like of course they think everyone's a pedophile everyone they know was a fucking pedophile and if you think if you're like well we're pedophiles by the democrats are worse than us they must be worse pedophiles it's like that's like the only way the logic makes sense uh right like

and desantis is going crazy about this desantis at this very moment is covering up records related to one of his aides who was engaged a literal child sex trafficking ring. And he keeps getting it for you and he keeps pushing back the deadline to release the papers. And this is while he's doing this fight where he's calling Disney a bunch of child groomers. I know we got to wrap this up real quick. I'll just yada, yada, yada, yada. But as far as coming after Disney's money.

Yeah, let's, I've got that the, you want to watch the Laura Ingraham thing? Because I've got it. I got it ready to go. Because yeah, they're just like, you mentioned it a little bit. earlier, but they're just like explicitly stating, you know, I don't know. Well, you'll see. We'll talk about it afterwards. And when Republicans, they get back into power, Apple and Disney need to understand one thing.

Everything will be on the table. Your copyright and trademark protection, your special status within certain states, and even your corporate structure itself. Nany Trust Division at Justice needs to begin the process. of considering which American companies need to be broken up once and for all, for competition's sake, and ultimately for the good of the consumers who pay the bills. And that's the angle. So this is full of all kinds of shit.

One, Disney should be broken up. So should Apple, so should Facebook, so should Google. But not because they said the don't say gay bill is fucked up, though. They're just saying, like, listen, we all know how the game is played. Like you could do whatever the fuck you want in this, you know, corporate hellscape as long as you play by the rules. Well, you're not doing that anymore. And so we're about to start fucking your shit up. And we'll find some other corporate, you know, fucking symbiotes to leach off of mutually.

And, you know, you don't want to incur our wrath. Personally, I'm not, I doubt Disney's all that worried about any of this, me personally. like, you know, they're a pretty big swinging mouse dick. So I feel like Disney's probably going to be okay, but yeah. Yeah, DeSantis is going to fight out who works for Who real quick. But one of the couple of things he did was like, we talked about this last year, but DeSantis signed a law this bill that was trying to like punish Twitter for kicking Trump off. Like they're basically saying you couldn't moderate comments or restrict people from using your platform just because of their speech.

And they gave a whole big carve out to Disney, which runs a bunch of media properties. They let Disney kick out whoever they want. And DeSantis this week, basically he complained about that bill and did the big, the hot dog guy, I mean, like we're all trying to find the guy that did this. You wrote the fucking bill. Right. He also is saying Disney, they might remove their special self-goverting status. Which is, like, hilarious because, like, yeah, I agree. Disney shouldn't have its own post office and fucking police force.

but like you're the one that let them do it so like either before against crony capitalism but like the way they're doing crony capitalism is openly admitted it's all cronyism and just being like we're going to pick our cronies not just based on money like we usually do it but you also have to be homophobic and anti-trans right yeah no dude 100% they're just putting it out there straight up it's like we will let you do whatever the fuck you want if you're a corporation in this country so long as you don't step on any of our culture war bullshit because that's what really matters does. But as long as you don't do that, we don't give a shit. You can literally be your own country inside of Florida. We don't

care. As long as the checks clear on time, no rules as far as we're concerned. But you start running your mouth, then we're going to have to revisit all that. And it's just a wild thing for them to be just putting out on front street the way they are, in my opinion. Disney's got so many cops. If they decided to secede from Florida and Florida invaded, it'd be a pretty fair fight. Right. I think America deserves the dumbest possible ending. And I feel like there's something like that's going to fucking do it.

It's just, oh, God. Fucking, yeah. All right. Well, listen, y'all may have inferred halfway through that, but I made an executive decision that since I was the one trying to keep up with the videos and the graphics and whatnot, that I was not going to be able to also attempt to read and put comments of, I'm sorry, but I am but one man.

And I hope you all will forgive me. I hope also you think that it went at least okay, as far as me filling in a producer, Matt. You did great, Trey. It was pretty seamless. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. Back to the old original skews days. It was just me and you, and we drank during it, and we had 14 viewers.

That's right, yeah. Didn't need Matt then, God damn it. White House can have him. No, I can't wait for him to come back. I'm going to go in here and see what. Katie thinks about all this Disney stuff, which I probably should have asked her in advance, but I bet it pretty much amounts to like, they ain't going to do shit, which she's probably correct about.

But let's see. So, yeah, that's just about going to do it. I want to remind you, though, again, if you want to come see me live, you can certainly do so, and I wish you would consider it. And you can do so by going to well-read comedy.com for tickets. I've got a few more days coming up this month in Portland and Louisville and then have some new days being announced for you soon if you're not down or can't do any of that which is fine or if you can

but still would like to support this show specifically please consider doing so by going to Patreon looking up my name or you can go to weeklysews.com slash more and for $5 a month you get full-length bonus episodes which we're having a whole lot of fun with. So, yeah, I hope you'll consider it. And then lastly, if you want one of them shirts, Matt drew up, you go to weekly skews.com and get you one if you are so inclined.

So with that said, what's the last button I'm supposed to push here? Oh, no, not that. Get the shirt off there. Go away, shirt. I was doing so good. Why want the shirt go away? Okay. All right.

Oh, my God. This shirt. You made it 59 minutes. I know, 59 minutes. right we're all started falling apart all right well that'll do it for us we'll be back next next Tuesday so you love you bye

see you bye
