Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews 5/17/22 – Replacement Theory

Episode Date: May 18, 2022

On tonight’s show we'll be talking about just how awful and dangerous white replacement theory is, as well as the thunderdome of lunacy that is today's Pennsylvania state primary. And of course there will be dumbasses. Join us. Support the show

What's up everybody? Welcome back. It is Skews Day, May 17th, 2020. I'm trying that's Mark. We're going to do things a little differently on this episode. We got some dumbasses for you, and we're going to talk about some primaries and stuff a little later. But like a couple of weeks ago with the big Supreme Court leak, had a subject tonight that felt like it shouldn't be prefaced with announcements and dumbassery and whatnot. the type of thing you should just get right into talking, of course, about the horrific shooting in Buffalo and the implications thereof, particularly where things like white supremacy and white replacement theory are concerned. So, Mark, where are you at with all that? Well, it's bad. I mean, it was a bad couple days. There were like four mass shootings over the weekend. Yeah. Besides the 10 people killed in Buffalo, I think it's still 10.

21 people are shot in Milwaukee, 5 in Houston, 5 in Orange County. The one in Orange County was also a hate crime, but it was an inter-Asian Chinese-on-Talwanese thing. The one in Milwaukee was three separate shootings. It was outside the Bucks game, and one of the three shootings was a full-on shootout between two people. It's just like, this is all very, very bad and gross. Yeah, you can't even keep up with it. It's like, you know, someone says, you know, what about that mass shooting the other day? You know, it's at a point where you've got to be like, well, which one are you talking about, which is so incredibly fucked up.

But that's been the case for a while now. It's also like, it's one of those things that's ever present, but also it's not, statistically it's not a huge problem. Like our individual chances of dying in a mass shooting group very small. The biggest problem with guns is suicides. Why this is a very American phenomenon, although, you know, there were the big mass shooting. in New Zealand and there was the one in I think Norway a couple years ago but those are like one-offs this is just like a

meme here for lack of a better way to describe it and I know the social science resources have said that like shootings do spread like epidemics because people do copycat stuff and Columbine of course expanded psychos imagination by what was possible by one determined weird out you know that was two

deterrent weird that was big of a point and this guy his manifesto is also a how-to guide it talks through like how like why he chose the weapons he did he was frustrated they didn't have the budget to do a bigger shooting like you couldn't practice with live ammo he didn't have the budget for it he didn't have the weapons he wanted but he outlined why he

wanted those weapons and why he chose the target he did he literally went to the black as zip code in his town and he was gassed up by the internet and he openly planted on the internet and nobody in the FBI noticed and right yeah and he also explicitly stated in there that it was racially motivated. He was worried about white genocide and white people being replaced and things of that nature and that his state of goal was to kill as many black people as possible because of all that. So there's this, you know, a lot of talk now

about the replacement theory, white replacement theory or great replacement theory, which is this idea that white people are being replaced with immigrants or people of color because those people are, you know, and it's like a leftist conspiracy. It's a conspiracy theory that the left is doing that because those people will vote. They'll win elections that way. Those people are more easily controlled, and that's why they're trying to get rid of white people. And it's a thing that's been around for a really long time.

And it's like, you know, I mean, Hitler was all about basically a version of this. There's been all kinds of versions of it over the years. But now, recently, it's been fairly mainstream with the GOP, and including Tucker Carlson on his show, they've talked about it a whole lot. And so people are, you know, connecting these dots like this is leading directly to shit like this, which of course they disagree with. Why wouldn't they? But I'm just wondering what you think about that whole part of it. The Tucker problem is not that he radicalizes guys like this because Tucker's, you know, audience is white people over 60 whose brains don't work good anymore with a lead poisoning.

So like the he got this dude got his stuff from Fortune. problem is Tucker launders 4chan and Daily Storm full on Nazi propaganda into the political mainstream and that's how you get people like JD Vance and what's your name?

Elise Stephanic tweeting out great replacement stuff. They get it from Tucker. That's how it comes a mainstream Republican talking point. But like I saw some people trying to defend saying oh well Libs have been talking about demographics being destined for a while now. There was like you know that book

written by the permanent Democratic majority written in the early 2000s, I think. But like all those takes are kind of stupid because immigrants assimilate. By the second or third generation, they're just, they're just as likely to be a Republican as pretty much anybody else. Right. But this idea that also the two things don't, noticing that more immigrants are here and America's about to be majority, minority, or whatever, noticing it happening is far different from saying that Jews are doing it on purpose to stamp out of the white race.

It's like it's not, the two things are not. And I saw it like, I think Tucker tried to make this point. Ben Shapiro did and Glenn Greenwald did doing whatever he's doing now. It's totally fucking assonite. Noticing something in saying that Jews are orchestrated. It's like it's like noticing the wildfires in California and saying they're a problem. And then it is different than thinking Jews did it with a space laser. Yeah.

It's also like there's no part of them that's like, you know, hey, the demographics of America are changing. Maybe we should change to reflect that. Or, you know, like look at the opportunities for what might reach these new demographics of people or what's effective with them as opposed to just like, this must be stopped at all costs because it ultimately leads to the, you know, disappearance of the white race or whatever. It's just a pretty extreme take on the fact, you know, just a sort of like a shifting demographic landscape. whatever. Yeah. I mean, like, also, like, it's not based, it's not based in a couple different ways. It's like, this is why Joe Biden opened the border was to, like, lit in a bunch of a bunch of new Hispanic voters. It's like, one, they don't vote. And two, the border's not open. He's being,

like, he's being, he's not as openly bloodthirsty about it, but our border policies are just as draconian, pretty much as they were under Trump. And he hasn't done anything to dial him back, not that I see anyway. We still have migrant kids in cages. and the rights currently whining that they're being given baby formula. So, like, this is why you don't pander to them on this shit

because you're being cruel to a bunch of migrants and still being hit for not being cruel enough. Right? So, like, why in the world would you sell out your humanity to try to triangulate to win some anti-immigration voter but they're never going to vote for you anyway? Obama lost his gambit with trying to get an immigration dealer in his presence.

he ramped up enforcement to show Republicans who was serious about it so you could try to get a deal to what do you call it a dream act and all that stuff to get people path to citizenship and they never met him in the middle because they didn't care

that he was doing exactly what they wanted which is like why did he do it yeah they're always going to move the goalpost there you know there always be something they've got to be pissed off about him blaming Democrats in the left for regardless of what it is It's just a convenient.

And they also just know that there's a whole lot of white people out there. They're just pissed off and upset in general, you know, and have been for a while. So, like you said, laundering these, like, white nationalist precepts for that audience, you know, obviously they found that it's effective. So why would they stop doing it? But it's just wild to, like, and I know I say stuff like this all the time, and I acknowledge that it's stupid because they're very different. Their brains work completely differently. But like to me, if I found out that somebody, you know, that some shit that I was pumping publicly to my massive audience every night had like a version of that had led directly to a mass murder, you know, like I just feel like that would have resulted some level of self-reflection or some degree of guilt or responsibility or feeling something as opposed to just being like, no, that's bullshit. That's just a, you know, that's just a liberal talking point.

That's not what really happened and go right back to it. Like, it's just wild, the shameless sort of just lack of accountability or empathy or reason or any of those things that they have. Yeah, I mean, I think about it a lot, but like, I guess the way you becomes successful in America is by being a pure sociopath. So it's like, what do you? But yeah, I mean, I'd fucking kill myself. Like, if I was Tucker Carlson, I was an inheritance baby who was. born rich who already had made millions of dollars even by his like MSNBC CNN days and then I made a couple hundred million more dollars pushing this stuff and then a bunch of people died

died connected to it even if it's not directly a fan of his it's like the part about this is truly like scared to me it was like he had a whole thing as manifesto about climate change and how there's dwindling resources we got to grab them for white people it's like that's how fast they're going to pivot from climate denial to eco-fascism. It's going to be like that. Right.

Yeah, that's wild. Biden gave a pretty good speech today, pushing back on it. I think you finally gets it now. But, yeah, I mean, this conspiracy that's been out there for a while. I mean, the you will not replace this chant from Charlottesville is just this.

Right. I mean, yeah, that whole thing, like I said, it's been a rallying cry for white supremacists everywhere for a really long time. It's like one of their central it's like a core belief that they have the you know white genocide and all that can i can i put out how like fucking weak uh this particular brand a white person is the world's not just becoming less white it's becoming less specifically anything people have airplanes to fly around the world

and they have dating apps where they meet people that are outside of their social networks people are fucking all kinds of different people and making all kinds of different babies and the only people who make a big deal out of it. I mean, I know every race has their racist, but like the only organized movement around us we need to have more white babies. It goes apparently up the Supreme Court is

Crackers. It's just us. Classic crackers. Classic cracker. And like, we also like, I don't think people realize how interracial role there. So like, this Japanese person was talking about how Japan is actually much more mixed race than is depicted

in American media because when they cast a Japanese character. They look for a very, very Japanese person, so you don't really even have an accurate conception. It's like we don't have an accurate conception with Mexicans look like. A lot of Mexicans are blonde hair, blue-eyed, have red hair, whatever, but they're not the ones who come here because they're the upper class because they're racist, they have a racist society too. So it's just. Yeah. And then the part of it, you know, with the internet where the internet is concerned, because another thing that guy wrote in his manifesto, and I'm paraphrasing slightly, but it was pretty close to this. He said something like, you know, and then over the

course of time, I learned through infographics, shipposts, and memes on 4chan, the truth of the situation regarding white people being replaced and all that stuff. But it's just, like, unironically writing in your manifesto that you were like shown the light by shitpost, quote, shippost and memes on 4chan is just, that's a wild shit, man. It's like, you know, where do you get your core ideology from 4chan ship post just yeah I don't know it's yeah and this kid he'd got he'd been sent to counseling I think because they were afraid he was going to shoot up his school um so he was this guy was known and he'd literally put in his uh in one of his four chan posts where he's planning it that the FBI must know about me right now so the

the fact they didn't stop meetings they must want it to happen and obviously they're not paying attention they don't think the internet's real which is why they didn't see january 6th coming That's why the media doesn't think the Internet's real. That's why I didn't see Trump coming. And it's just like, I would just say, the only thing I could say is that the Internet's a walled or place than you think. And if your kids are spending a lot of time on it, especially if you have teenage boys who are into gaming, check out what their YouTube album is showing and talk to them about it. Yeah.

Okay. Well, I guess, you know, I don't know what else there's to say about it other than, like you said, it's horrific. and a damn shame. Yeah, I don't know. All right, so with that said, we will move on. A little later, we're going to be talking about some primaries going on. There's some Thunderdome of lunacy that is the GOP primary in Pennsylvania tonight. Polls closed just a wee bit ago.

Producer Matt is with us, as always. This is weekly skews. And let's go ahead and get started. Well, I don't know if started is the right word. Let's get into the Daily Dumbasses. What do you think? Matt, graphic. tonight's dd other kids for not thinking of this excuse for not mowing the yard

let's see this on this fox news clip here more talk about theories but of a different sort all right so melissa your your son is uh the father's black you're white and he'd never mentioned issues with race before you're saying what exactly changed right we didn't have issues before he's in eighth grade they introduced this critical um program and now he's having racial issues that was not there before what kind of racial issues is he have it well he's seen himself just as a black man he's seen things that don't go his way as racism. And he's finding safety in numbers now. So when you're saying he gets a bad grade at school, he blames racism, or a girl rejects him

on a date, racism. Are those the kind of things you're seeing? Yes. I ask him to clean the house, racism. Yes. You're kidding, right? Are you serious? No, I'm serious. They have totally changed his perspective. They have put in a box. some high level teenager in right there let me tell you yeah also it's just really funny to me because my dad pretty much agreed with her kids are used are there to be your slaves philosophy so it was like it was like dude do this it was like you have to teach kids work ethic and like they got to pull their weight around the house i ain't problem with that but this kid really hits for me

and also maybe her kid is a dog ass i don't know i don't know her kid but the fact she's blaming the government for the fact she doesn't know to talk to her kid is really really funny. Yeah, well, that's the other thing is I'd really like to know what the actual like curriculum or whatever was at that school, you know what I mean, that sort of led to that. Like also, kids just, they get older, they become more self-aware about the world around them. You know what I mean? And obviously, I don't know. I'm talking out of my ass, but I think if you're a biracial kid, you start to get older,

you're probably going to naturally start to think more about, you know, the place you live in its relationship with, you know, people like you. And you see a lot of shit on the news and a lot of shit going on. on and, you know, you, I mean, kids start to think about shit as they get older and, you know, it just happens, but I'm sure it's the school's fault and she's trying to get millions out of them because she can't get the yard mode anymore. So, yeah. Yeah. Usually people have interracial babies or grandbabies, seeing the roll through their eyes and makes them less racist. This is an interesting way to go. But also the idea that this kid didn't know about racism until school told them about it. It's like, have you been to a public school? notice who sits at which lunch table my sister just texted me my nephew plays baseball

he's in like JV baseball and the team they're playing today they have one Mexican kid in the team these are all his friends they're being supportive but his nickname Halapeno right that kid does not forget he's Mexican

for one second of that game he's like go Halapeno got to go out it's like all right so this kid found out of racism from from a you know, a teacher's lesson, I guess,

and now he sees it everywhere. It's just like, he's people, man. Yeah. All right, well, our first honorable mention for Daily Dumbass, anybody on the right that was worried about Dr. Seuss going away when he had Cash Patel coming in to fill the void right behind him. That's right. Cash Patel is a former Trump official who's got a hot new children's book coming out,

dropping very soon this week, I believe it is, on the subject of King Donald and him being railroaded by the evil Hillary Quainton. Yeah, it's literally called The Plot Against the King. A Cash Patel has written this. It's about, let me read, let me read from Patel's own website. It's a fantastic retelling of the terrible true story. Hillary Queenton and her shifting knight had spread lies at King Donald and cheated to become king.

they claimed who's working with the Ruschonians, Ruscionians, but how could that be? Joint Cash, the Distinguished Discoverer, he uncovers the plot against the king, and who is really behind this. Trump being a king is a big meme on the right now. They call it let it calling him the Maga King. And, yeah, I'm not comfortable calling anyone a king.

Yeah, it used to be a whole thing with Americans, you know. Like, weren't down with the whole King thing. But, yeah, I mean, they've been deifying. him for a while now you know what's a king to a god mark he's their god emperor that's what trump yeah to quote a friend of the show killer killer mike uh fuck a king of queen and all their loyal subjects subjects i pull my penis out on a piss on the shoes in public uh you're wondering cast Patel is he worked in a trump white house for the national security council uh council and he was almost appointed to head the CIA all right uh yeah yeah well you can see that's a guy

Yeah, upper management written all over him. This guy is a straight shooter. No, he looks like a sycophant of the highest order. And that generally was rewarded very heavily in the Trump administration. So, yeah. But the CIA in particular, it's a wild, you know, a thing for him to have been given control of. It's also the series whole thing is denying they did propaganda they did. And this guy's like, I'm pivoting into making children's propaganda.

But like, can you even? imagine a, like, a child this would hit for? Right. Your parents making it read this, it's like, can we just read one fish, two fish again? For sure. I mean, kids like kings and wizards and stuff like that, but it's also like, I don't know, when they come out with children's books that are trying to make kids transphobic or something because they got a raccoon who wants to be a girl raccoon, but he was born a boy raccoon,

and that's bad or whatever. The other shit they're doing is, it kind of tracks for me what they're going for, but this is such a like specific and not I don't know choosing this story to like turn into children's propaganda is a wild choice to me too you know what I mean because normally it's more high level stuff like you shouldn't be trans or immigrants are bad or whatever else they're doing out there but like the you know he did not cheat to steal the election he was railroaded by Hillary Clinton six years ago like it's just I don't feel like a kid's going to retain all that even subconsciously, you know?

Even if you did, it's the goal here. Drive it up Hillings and negatives among three-year-olds. Yeah. You're proud to vote against her when she's running for president in 2054. Right. It doesn't make any sense. 2052, whatever that way. It's like, I don't know.

It doesn't make any sense. But it's a collectible for Trump fans to buy. So I'll probably make a bank off of it. I guess that's probably real cool. Yeah. All right. Our next honorable mention for dumbasses is guys like me and Mark. for getting knocked up too often causing this formula shortage out there.

That's right. Hit it. You know, it's interesting that we are having this baby formula shortage. Perhaps it's from all the men who are becoming pregnant and cannot lactate on their own. So maybe that's where this shortage is coming from. Or it could be the mallets that are being sent to the southern border for all the illegal areas. You knew that was going to come through. Yeah.

Yeah. Two of them on the bingo card there. It's like, where's the Mexicans at? Here it is. There it is. Yeah. This is so dumb for multiple reasons. I don't, I think, my stance on trans stuff is whatever people want to do is their own business.

So I don't, I don't really, I have like one trans friend and I try not to ask super interpersonal questions about their own biology, but like, because it's fucking rude. I don't ask straight people about their generals either. But the idea that, uh, my assumption here is if someone who identifies as a man is getting pregnant they were a biological woman who were born as who they'd be able to breastfeed so i don't even think she's got the exact dynamic here even from a bigot i know she's trying to make a joke she always makes a joke about people who just breastfeeding too um i just wish she'd fucking quit congress and do her youtube show because that's what she wants to do anyway um yeah she's fucking

do you ever see the stories about she's beef with marjor taylor green apparently they hate each other no no i thought they were part of the you know the opposite of the squad or whatever now they apparently have a big interpersonal rivalry and it's because they almost they had to be separated to some event a couple weeks ago like i almost got to blows because loren bobert hates marjor taylor green for making her look crazy for marjor taylor green makes lorne bobert look crazy in loren bobert's estimation yeah yeah well i don't know what she thinks she's doing with all the shit she says like they both like no your actions and words and just general demeanor makes you look crazy the existence of marjorie taylor green if anything takes some of the crazy heat

off of you periodically you guys sort of past the crazy ball back and forth you know uh and then yeah i don't know that's why a couple people sending messages asking for a baby formula uh episode and we are going to talk about it i'll get more we have more of it later in the show and then we'll tell you about some other stuff. But, yeah, this is not breastfeeding men and babies of the border is not reason you can't buy breast baby forming a lot of places. Not even remotely flucking close. All right.

Our next honorable mention, the media for not being in touch with what real Americans truly care about. Who's on the cover of Vogue magazine? That's right. Vogue with a huge slight here. Let's hear it straight from her mouth. Melania. Yes.

How did you put up with the concept? The media. Take Vogue, for example, five months into Joe Biden's president, Joe Biden's on the cover. Kamala Harris is on the cover before she's even sworn in. Hillary Clinton was on the cover when she was first lady. Michelle was on the cover three times. Yet, with your business background and your fashion background and your beauty, never on the cover of vote. Why the double standard?

They're biased. And who gives a shit? Who gives a shit? And it's so obvious. And I think American people and everyone's shit. This is the, you have to just, Matt. The, like, the things these people are obsessed with are fucking, I could not, you put a gun to my head. I could not tell you how many times Michelle Obama was on the cover of Vogue or if she was.

Right. Yeah. No idea. Who cares? Who cares? This is a woman who's obscenely wealthy, even just her own money. forget her billionaire or whatever husband. She's being interviewed by a guy who flew down to kiss her ass at her own private golf course

compound, and she's doing woes me bullshit. These people fucking drive. They'd be disgusting if they weren't politically awful and immoral. Just the narcissism drives me insane. Yeah, I'm sure, you know, I don't know if she fed them that question or what, but I mean, I bet she gives a shit, you know, that she was never asked to be on there, even though she says that she was, she had the more important things to do than be on the cover of, you know. Like the Christmas stuff.

Always busy with Christmas stuff. No time for Vogue. Yeah. It's her second biggest problem besides the fact that Trump winning the election made her leave Trump Tower where she was maintaining her long-running affair with the head of the building security. That is the Trump winning the election. The one way in which I do feel bad for her is Trump winning the election fucked up her life. Not as bad as everyone else in America's, but it wasn't great for her either. So prayers out for Melania for having the world's shittiest husband and not being on the cover of Vogue magazine and having her and being cock blocked from her fare.

Yep. All right. Last one. Last honorable mention, Elon Musk for not taking the pillow guys phone call. He's got an important business at hand. Mike Lindell, let's see it. Wanted to reach out if Elon Musk, if you're watching, I want to reach out to Elon Musk, Brandon. And now for any other reason other than he's got a big.

a big um um presence out there right now there's you know he's all over the news right and they and he's driving the left crazy he's trying to kind of uh woo conservatives you know i guess you know that would be the word um well my thing is uh i'd like to sit on with elan myself one-on-one and show him in a 15-minute little presentation i have to say here's where we're at this is what they did. Here's the, here is these, you get, you flew to the moon or whatever, flew to outer space. Here's the cyber stuff. Elon, no one else is looking. Wanted to reach out. So, for one, he thinks Elon personally went to the moon, which is for me. Because I don't think Elon even did the Jeff Bezos thing where he wrote up to space. Right. Yeah. He probably thinks he went to the moon in that

Tesla or whatever. It was, yeah. He's like, yeah, you took one of your cars to the moon. Everybody saw it. It was great. We got stuff to talk about. I mean, when he, when he, when he, when he, when he launched that Tesla into space with the mannequin riding in it and took the selfie looking back to Earth in a space time? I was like, that is a brilliant way to get rid of a body. Just no proof.

Just shot a guy in a car into space. But the way these guys think things work is one, Elon personally went to the moon. Elon trying to buy Twitter, pulling shit out of his ass about politics, he doesn't understand. And therefore, he has the power to reinstate Trump or whatever. And also, it's just hilariously because crypto's collapsing.

Elon probably can't buy Twitter or Twitter anymore. He's trying to get out of the deal. So that's really fucking funny to me. Paul has money ludicoy in, Trey. Yeah, well, we had a bunch of primaries today, and I want you to talk to us about them. Just because I'm self-conscious about it, just want to remind if I'm blinking a lot,

looking all weird with my eyes, reminder, I had surgery, and I'm still not all the way back. If you can see the blood in my eyes, I apologize for that, too. I hope you don't find it too upsetting. Anyway, you know, we're here. Mark, primaries.

What's going on with them? Yeah, well, they're primaries in five states today. Idaho, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. Because North Carolina is voting today, Madison Cawthorne's career could be over by the time we finish this episode. It's current politics anyway. I'm pretty successful career in right-week media. Matt says he's behind as it right now with 60% of the votes.

Cool. Yeah, fingers crossed. Fuck off. So just all around this primary cycle has been depressing as hell We always have a bunch of lunatics in state level politics But it's like over and above like what Trump has done to our body politic is just insane For a small example, they aren't voting today in Nevada But Ted Cruz endorsed the lady for state treasurer in Nevada

Who once said cancer as a fungus that could be cured with baking soda Who was demoted from being mayor pro tem because of racism So the flu is worse than COVID and funneled campaign money to her kid. Her name's Michelle Fiore, and yes, if you're wondering, she has been in trouble with the IRS, which is a prerequisite to be in Republican politics nowadays. She also lost her home health care license because of Medicaid fraud. Here's a quote from her on Syrian refugees.

He's like, Syrian refugees. I'm like, what are you kidding me? I'm about to fly to parents and shoot him in the head myself. I mean, I'm not okay with Syrian refugees. I'm not okay with terrorists. I'm okay with putting them down, blacking them out. just put a piece of brass in their ocular cavity and in their miserable life I'm good with that I mean what the fuck dude literally talking about executing refugees and yeah and fighting cancer

with mushrooms or whatever that other shit you said was it's like you literally have to like you're talking about Bobert and MTV and it's like you just got a it's just a crazy off it's one big crazy like you can't compete on their side right now if you're not a full bore lunatic because you know, there's going to be somebody else. There's going to be somebody out there who's willing to go that extra crazy mile and willing to do the full lunatic thing. And so if you're not going to be that guy, then you better go home because ain't no place for that sort of thing, reasonability or anything in the modern day Republican Party.

Stupid, corrupt, loud, and mean, right? In the same country, and one of those three would be enough to disqualify you. But in a present reality, that's the trifecta, baby. That's the total package. all of it's been crazy but maybe the most depressing set of primaries is in Pennsylvania for a variety of reasons

consistent characters in them so we're going to talk about them for a little bit there was a funny start with sort of the Democratic side where the good news is and it looks like Federman's going to win except if you just had a stroke so he's recovering from that apparently

he voted from his hospital bed or voted from his bed and I don't know if he's home or not but there's a funny focus group last week with primary voters where they asked they showed them Conorland's ads calling a Federman

a socialist and they're like yeah we've seen him but also he's really big so they like him because he's big yeah so the takeaway Democrats run more absolute units run more

sure guys yeah I mean like that is you know that's comical and it sounds dumb and everything and I'm not saying it's not but like I can sort of see part of the like because the whole you know the negative stereotype about liberals is that we're what weak we're pussies you know sorry wussies cissies whatever you know what I mean we don't do shit we're weak-willed we're not real man if you're a man that type of thing right we breastfeed that's all that's they're like

that's the shit they talk so I can understand how having a dude who's like um like overtly of the ass-whooping variety, like a big, a big bald some bitch with tattoos that is a Democrat. Like, I can see how that, you know, how that plays, you know what I mean? Whether people think about it that way or not. It's just like, yeah, no, we got one that could whip y'all's ass.

How about that? Yeah, but it's also like the branding thing is so funny because people do, all the poll tested language and stuff is this is laid bare how incredible. least stupid that is. Voters vote based on vibes. It's vibes, man. Vives. So Democrats, you

might as well do what you want and actually try to help people because the way you're going to win or lose is vibes. You might as well do the right thing, but they're not going to do it because they think issues are what move people. This is why the day after Rolf V. Wade was a leaked of going to be overturned. Biden gave a speech about bringing down the deficit. That's what

that's on the tip of everyone's tongues. It's like, I mean, they've all, you know, I remember like in the Bush era and I'm sure for years before that too but it's always been a thing where you know the guy you'd like to have a beer with that whole thing you know that that's like what a lot of people based off of just seems like you can get a beer with him even though you know he was a recovering alcoholic and whatnot but the just that sort of idea of it being you got to be charismatic above all else you got people want to like hang out with you or whatever as opposed to you know

care about your aptitude for doing the job or your ideas for the things for the future in direction of the country or any of that shit it's like how good are you at shuffleboard motherfucker that's what i want to know yeah i don't even necessarily think that's stupid though because when you say you want to have a beer with someone you're saying i like that person and trust them i think you can have a real conversation with them about my life right so like that's part of it but like the funny thing to me is like i think father went to an ivory league school so the letter lesson here is what like see here's like another quote that focus group uh it found that uh it said It said a couple people in Trump voter focus groups

said they might vote for Federman in the general. So the lesson here is that Hillary Clinton should have started wearing Dickie's shirts and gotten some neck tattoos in 2016. We wouldn't get this fast. But also the good point is like a significant portion of Trump voters are warmly prioritized a candidate being a fighter and someone they can relate to, right?

So Federman's going to pass that test with flying collars over hypothetically speaking Dr. Oz, if that's who he gets in the general. Don't have that in a minute. But also, do you want to guess what Federman's signature issue is and I didn't, I knew, I knew this was in his bag of tricks. I didn't know this was his main emphasis. This is not my guess for his issue, but producer Matt says that he wears Carrhart, but not hipster Carhart, like the kind with the name on the sleeve, Carhart. So,

you know, yeah, it's just Trump voters, they see him and he's like, he seems like he could be all right. He can't be all bad just because of his whole vibe. I mean, I'm all for it, but a signature issue, I do know it, but why don't you tell us all what it is? Legalizing weed, baby. There it is. Legalizing weed. It's a layup. It's right. We've been saying it forever. It seems like it should be such a layup for any Democrat politician, but most of them just don't do it. So it's refreshing to see someone finally doing it because no one, no one is so opposed to it that they'll like withdraw their vote or vote for someone else because of it at this point. Most people either don't care or they're for it. So you're not going to get up any real opposition to it. But at the same time, there are plenty of people out there. I believe. leave who wouldn't otherwise vote at all maybe or even be like politically engaged that will come out and vote for you if you tell them you're going to legalize weed like I know people I met people personally they're like single issue voters and that issue is weed being legal you know yeah they

got neck tattoos but that's beside the point like these people exist and they're real and why not you know and there's just no there's no neck there's no downsides to it and only upside so why not do it and I don't know why don't more people do it there was a according to that the polling in this article only like 1% of people are likely to vote specifically because of this issue but there was an interesting quote I thought was really prescient from just a regular voter in there who was like why she thought it was a good sign and she was like a 60 year later didn't even smoke weed she just thought like it's a sign that you're not a dumbass who's stuck in the past it's just like it's just it just shows you're not a moron and this is like and this is in

contrast to Connor Lamb, his main opposition, who, quote, former federal prosecutor, Lamb, was one of just six House Democrats to vote against federal cannabis legislation in December 2020 and ridiculed the House for considering it during a pandemic. I mean, what? I just don't know how you could be that tone deaf, one of only six Democrats to vote against it. Like, I mean, I mean, but you said former federal prosecutor, and I know that like law enforcement as an entity is one of the primary impediments to we. weed law, reform, you know, private prisons, law enforcement, booze, big pharma, shit like that. But, yeah, it's absolutely, absolutely no one thinks, I mean, I'm sure they exist, but very few people think their kid or grandkid should have a permanent criminal record for being caught doing a drug that almost everyone has done at some point in their life. it's just stupid. And just like that lady said, it's just a sign.

You're not a fucking idiot. But our problem is I think we talked about on a recent recorded episode is the one person in America who does think it's a political loser is Joe Biden. Well, guess what? Mark, producer Matt, has reported. We got some breaking news, breaking skews here. Put it up there, Matt. Why not? Show them what you just show me if you've got a screen grab up.

of it. Look at that. Dave Washington. I've seen enough. Lieutenant Government John Federman defeats Representative Conner Lamb in the Pennsylvania Senate damn primary. So there you go. That's good news. Yeah.

That's good news because it's going to be a down year for Democrats, but one of the upside of the weed issue is going to make people more enthusiastic to go vote, even if it's not single issue voting on that. And so, you know, it's going to be a down year in election cycle. The Republican side, let's talk about who he might face. because this is the truly crazy part of it. Dr. Oz was poised to win. He got Trump's endorsement, but Trump's endorsement doesn't appear to be working.

The polling wise, it's basically, you got Oz, David McCormick, and Kathy Barnett, who's the trumpiest candidate, but Trump endorses the other. And McCormick's more of like the same business Republican dude, even though his wife worked for Trump. But he's, by his standards of 2012, he'd be a insane Republican. By today's standards, he's a rhino. Right. If Oz loses, he's going to be because he's a huge, obvious fucking phony. Here's a quote from this story. Outside, this is outside of a Republican rally,

someone had tallied a straw poll on a piece of poster board asking Dr. Mehmet Oz America first question mark. There were six marks next to yes and more than a dozen next to no. And a third option, someone who had written fuck no in Blackmarker, he received three votes. at a at a rally for Dr. Oz the votes were

12 to 6 that Dr. Oz hates America uh and so yeah so if he loses that'll be

so that's why Trump's voters probably won't turn out for him in the general but if you want to see the vibes he's putting off this took out this video

he'd been from on the Fox News hit he did a couple days ago and you never want to let your people down so when you go to bed at night put your head on that soft pillow you know oz will be doing exactly what you've wanted to do if you're there next to him what so just getting bad with just imagine yourself in bed with dr oz and know that he would be doing whatever you want him to do you know yeah wink wink saying to more yeah he's a gentle lover the doctor absolutely

Absolutely. A generous lover, Dr. Oz. Yeah. Again, I think this got brought up, we were talking about him before, but it's kind of wild to me that the whole charisma part of it, how much he's struggling with that just because of the fact that he was on TV every day for so many years. You know, I would have thought he'd have a little more aptitude in that regard. But no, not the case, evidently. But those shows are pre-taped. You can retake stuff. And by the way, for background's sake, you have to worry about, like, what happened to a once-nice guy. I had a friend who worked on his show in New York and she quit with no backup plan because she was a producer on that show because he was such a nightmare asshole to work with so he's not even secretly nice behind the scenes like your boy J.D. is apparently.

Trey's best friend J.D. Vance. Yeah, I got, yeah, good guy to get a beer with, you know. My old bar buddy, J.D. Vance. So, so just some of what's happening here, this is the weirdest race in America because Trump's voters like Kathy Barnett, Trump likes Dr. Oz

you saw him on TV. The Club for Growth, which is the business wing, has been giving money to Barnett because she's been, like, you know the horse in the Kentucky Derby that came from way back? She was at 5% like two weeks ago. She's in second place like 25% now at the last poll

I saw. So they fucking love her. So they're trying to bet on the winning horse here. So the dynamic is based that Trumpers are attacking a far-right candidate as Kathy Barnett for being too mean to immigrants and Muslims to help an apolitical huckster pretending to be a conservative. He wants it so bad. He promises if he gets elected he'll stop being a citizen of Turkey.

Just everyone coming out of this looking good. Everyone. A little bit more about Kathy Barnett. She has a disturbingly real shot, even though no one even really knows who she is or where she came from. She literally just appeared out of nowhere with no paper trail. She could have been born three weeks ago and no one would fucking know about it, except she was at January 6th.

So that's the only reason we know she was alive two years ago. So here we go. What's this video about her from Fox News if you have it? Where were you an adjunct college professor? Yes, you know, in fact, let me just make this really short for you. And to your list and to your viewers, you can go to my website at bar net for senate.com. We've placed right there on the front page. You see my family and around my family is a will.

And we place right there the things you want. to know about that's not answered the question no and she doesn't yeah spoil it never answers the question she just you know yeah and the answer to the website is not on her website the question is very simple you say you were an adjunct college professor right what school where yeah 10 that's that's a what's the longest college name in the world four or five words yeah probably somewhere wales or some shit yeah so so the washing examiner which is a right wing paper it should be noted, had tried to find out, I had read this story, who is Kathy Barnett?

And they just sent her, she couldn't get her on the phone or any of her press people, so they just sent her an email with these questions. One, the neighbor of her hometown. Two, where was she an adjunct professor to when? When would she, she claims to him in the military? So she's questions, when was she an officer candidate school? What financial institutions did she work at and when?

When did she move from Virginia to Pennsylvania? Because she says in her book bio from 2018, she lived in Virginia. So what year did she move there? and moved to PA. And a confirmation that the college you graduated from was Troy State University. These are basic top line resume details. This is not super deep oppo research. You say you were in the army.

What years? What did you do there? Right. And the reply from the campaign manager was Kathy keeps her early life as private as possible. So I'm sure you can understand why. And that's a reference to the fact she claims that she was a product of rape. That's her part of her moving personal narrative. is that she's against abortion because if her mom had gotten an abortion, she'd be dead, right?

That said, she sucks. She's a lunatic. She said a bunch of really awful evil shit about Muslims, gays. I don't know if she's Cuban-on adjacent, but it would not surprise me. She has awful opinions about just about everything you can say. And so the funny thing is, team Trump in the form of his leading spokesman, Sean Hannity, is trying to tick down Kathy Barnett for not being sufficient. left wing.

Yeah. What's this have of? This is wild. Frequently spewed. I mean, not just once, not one day, not occasionally. Quite a bit of hateful rhetoric against gay people, people that are Muslims.

She even once asked her followers to pray for her because she was about to board the plane to California, and there was a homosexual female on the flight. All right. And she also insinuated Obama was a gay Muslim. This will all come up a general election.

She called for Islam to be banned in the United States. It's like, Kathy, we have something called. Is this Trump's to do this? Is his like, 80% of Hannity's audience sitting there listening like, damn, you made the sale, quit selling, buddy? I was like, come home. How many, yeah, how many more great things are you going to tell me about this woman in this segment?

She's checking all the boxes for us here at Hannity Fans Incorporated. Like, it's, it, I don't know, it's wild. The shit that they do on Fox News, news and Hannity does and then turn around and be like, can you believe this, this lady has been mean to gay people and Muslims. And we're just not going to stand for that sort of thing. And everybody's like,

is this a prank? What's happening? Yeah. Just because she's not the Trump part, you know, she's not the horse Trump backs. So to move this through this little quickly, we've got to get the comments and stuff and get some business to do.

But she apparently at one point wanted to build a statue of America's most prominent black people and one of them was Barack Obama. So they're also hitting over that she wanted to build a statute of Barack Obama. And a response to that was pretty funny saying, he's the first black president. I didn't vote for him, but he's a, but he got the job and it's historical. I was like, that's the sameest things she ever said. She also said they asked her if she would support the Republican nominee in her line at first was I would never support a globalist.

So look forward to her splitting the party if and when she loses. Lauren Ingram, on the other hand, has been defending. We need to show that video, Matt, because we're trying to go fast. But the governor's race might even more depressing because the right-wing psycho there, who's running on kind of a unity ticket with Kathy Barnett is Doug Mastriano, and he's expected to win by a decent margin. So that's concerning because he basically, he had a quote that said, if you like Ron DeSantis, don't worry about it, he's an amateur. So he's running as the most right-wing psycho in America. And if he wins, I seriously doubt any Democratic presidential victory would be certified as long as he's the governor. So that's sort of the nightmare scenario, which makes this state so important because I don't even know it's not, Tray, but whoever won the presidency at the last four times has won Pennsylvania.

It's a pretty vital swing state. Obama won at both times. He won. Trump won it when he won in 2016. And Biden won it when he won in 2020. It's a true bellwether state for who's going to win the president. seen. Biden only won Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes. Well, I don't know. I mean, I know that the GOP, the Pennsylvania State GOP party is not happy that that lunatics went in the gubernatorial primary because they think that that'll hurt their chances in the general because of how crazy is.

So, you know, maybe they're right. But it's also, it's what they get, man, for fucking getting their people all fucking frothed up and fired up and everything. And then, you know, it's like, we need these people as radicalized as possible, you know, at, at, passionate as possible and then a guy like this shows up and they're like no not like that that's crazy like yeah no shit it's crazy that's your whole thing i got some good shade and fall for you on that tip in a second but first uh you're right there are panicking even uh he's quote in the political article article some prominent pennsylvania republican individuals and donors are even considering publicly supporting joshapiro the presumptive no he's running out of pose he's going to be the democratic

nominee um but the guy coming in second to massriano in the republican primary is uh a guy named Lou Barretta, Barletta, who also fucking sucks, but he and another congressman by the name of Tom Marino, who is a surrogate for him, were one of the earliest people who endorsed Trump in Pennsylvania did a shit ton of campaigning for him. And here's how he pays them back. Let's watch this really heartfelt video where they can't understand why they've been betrayed by the most betraying man in America. Matt said one second.

He's pulling it up. Yeah, this is this is Marino or this Barletta? This is Marino speaking on behalf of Barletta, I believe. Okay. Before Matt, speed it up, I'll go ahead. You can go ahead and play Matt. There's another issue I want to address.

I was extremely disappointed when Mr. Trump came out and endorsed Mr. Mastriano. I know Mr. Rastriano. I met him in New York. when I was Vice President of NATO, great military guy. But where in the hell is the loyalty? Where is the loyalty? From Donald Trump. The famous loyal Donald Trump was never thrown anybody under the bus that I can recall.

He threw his own fucking kid over the bus to escape prosecution. You can cut it, man. So Shapiro here, so Shapiro has essentially been running ads for Mastriana. Yeah. Which is really funny. It's not really for Mastriana. It criticizes him as a super harsh right-wing conservative.

The thing is that will push him over the top in the primary. Right. And because Mastriano doesn't have a budget yet to run statewide, a lot of statewide ads, he's trying to lock in the voters' perceptions of him before he tries to do a half-hearted pivot to centristism for the general. And that may or may not be smart. And Mastrano is probably going to win anyways. He's probably good at the smart of the first mover. I would also just want to point out that in 2016, people like me and also Hillary Clinton thought it was good that Donald Trump was the Republican nominee because it would press the party.

And Lord, were we fucking owned, buddy. So, yeah, I don't know. We'll see what happens with Pennsylvania. All right, Matt, you can start looking through some comments also. I didn't do it earlier. So I'm going to remind you all some things here. One, if you're vaccinated, want to see me live, you can go to Trey Crowder.com. It's Trey Crowder.com because I'm doing some solo shows this summer all around the country.

I hope y'all will come and see me. It's going to be fun. If you've seen me recently, fret, night, it's going to be all new stuff. So, yeah, we're going to be having a good time with it. Number two, if you like this show and want to show your support, you can do so by signing up on Patreon. $5 a month. You get full-length bonus episodes like the one we did last week. That will be coming out soon.

The one we recorded will be coming out about the baby formula shortage. We've covered a lot of other great topics as well. five dollars a month go to weekly skews.com slash more or go to patreon and look me up and you can find it on there we would appreciate it lastly it's a little bit of housekeeping need you all to know hopefully this won't affect anything except just the way things look on your end but i am going to the ukk tomorrow for three weeks with our georgia correspondent corey forester we got some stuff going we're working on something over there uh i mean i could without getting into detail me and Corey writing a book and it involves going to the UK.

It'll make sense way down the road. Don't worry about it. But the point is, I'm going to the UK for three weeks tomorrow. My intent is to still do skews every week, as long as I'm bringing my computer and everything with me, as long as the Wi-Fi cooperates, it shouldn't change anything. It'll be 1 a.m. where I'm at, but that's okay for you all. I'll gladly do it. Leave allowances for possible technical difficulties depending on the hotel or castle or

whatever I'm staying in. I don't know how it works over there. But my plan is to still do the show. A hobbit hole. Yeah, y'all know how they are. But my plan is to still do the show. So just so everybody knows. So hopefully I'll be coming to you live from across the pond starting next week.

But we will see. So, yeah, that's my announcements. Matt, here we go. I damn it. Thank you, Vegan Lee on YouTube. Says, hey, you guys, hit the like button and show trademarked producer Matt some love. Yes, like and subscribe. share, write, review, all that stuff, all that internet stuff.

It costs you nothing and it does help us a lot, so we appreciate it. Lori Beth Brunner on Facebook says it'll never not be hilarious how many Trump sucker uppers think that they will be the ones that Trump doesn't betray. Right, exactly. This is the guy who reads the snake in his campaign rallies and people don't get the joke. Could you mention the baby form of the episode? Some we didn't get to because I didn't really have understanding of this before we do it. We talked a lot about, you know, how this is the fault of highly monopolized

capitalism and government corruption, in a straightforward sense. One of the reasons we have a baby formula shortage is because we can't import from Canada. The reason we can import from Canada is when Trump renegotiated the North American Free Trade Agreement, American baby-forming producers. I don't forget, I never thought about this much so I read this, but you can't really export milk because it goes bad in the boat before it gets to China, right? Plus Chinese people don't really eat a lot of dairy, which is not something I knew for sure. If I googled it, I was like Chinese food does have cheese on it.

Chinese people at cheese, Googled it. No, apparently dairy's been faced so much out of Chinese people's diet so that most people, most Chinese people are lactose and tolerant. According to New York Times, I don't know. The more you know. But you can't export baby formula because it's dehydrated and it has a longer shelf life. So to crush the Canadian dairy industry, to keep them from developing the capacity to be able to have excess milk to export to China, the baby formula industry lobbied

Trump White House to make sure we couldn't have Canadian baby formula in America. So that's one of the many reasons you can't buy it right now is just straightforward fucking corruption. And another day in our corrupt hellscape, Supreme Court legalized bribery once again, specifically to Ted Cruz. This week, there is one of our last few campaign finance laws that is if you can only loan your own campaign, $250,000 that can be reimbursed after the election results are finalized. Ted Cruz intentionally let his own campaign $260,000 to trigger a, you know, a violation.

So he could take this case, the Supreme Court, and they could say, yes, once Ted Cruz has already won, you can give him all the money he wants to his campaign for him to pay himself. So there you go. Vitally important that that got done, Supreme Court, with their priorities in order recently. Crystal Fitzhue on Facebook says CRT is just being used by the GQP as a pathetic attempt to counter the replacement theory. they obviously espouse. Yeah, a lot of talk about theories from them lately. Some of them are into.

Some of them are not. It's weird. Yeah. Matt made the point that a lot of the states banning critical race theory are like, are the states you'd be least likely to be something bad on replacement theory in schools. I don't think people are teaching a replacement theory in schools anyway. If it is some racist psycho teacher who probably is on the path getting fired pretty soon for. Right, but aren't most places also not teaching critical race theory in school?

either. Like, it's just, they're, they teach about what happened with slavery and shit like that, which is horrific. But doing that upsets tender white sensibilities. But that's what they call critical race theory. But it's not like they're going to critical race, you know, 101 or whatever. In high school. My understanding is critical race carry is a, is a, is a, is a elective class at a few elite law schools. Right. It's not really a thing. Yeah. Right. At a high, you know, in higher education. Yeah. The idea that even laws that aren't, the ideas that even laws that aren't written with racist words on them have racist effects because of legacy impacts of how the system was distributed. So like, you know, where schools are and where stuff was built, how cities were redlined. These, these have horrific criminal justice impacts. 30 years after the law, the laws themselves were deracialized. That's the idea of my understanding of critical race theory has nothing to do with what 10th graders are being taught. thought about cell rates. But we've coded before, but this guy in Christopher Rufo thought it sounded like a cool, bad word that everyone would be grossed out by. And it is. It's a three bad things. Critical race theory. Yeah.

Things that don't hit. Mm-hmm. Jim Gray on Facebook says banning CRT is a solution looking for a problem. Yeah. I mean, that's the type, right. I mean, we talked about it before, but, you know, just alluding to it. I mean, they do that all the time. they just sort of invent whole cloth these things to be pissed off about and then just run with it, man, run hard with it.

I mean, the transgender bathroom things, that shit was just made up, you know, like they just make shit up and get furious about it and then win elections based off of it. I mean, there is a problem. The problem is you're like, hey, wait, mom, dad was a cop in Alabama in the 60s. What was he up to? Right. That's what they go on. well also it's just like you know we said this before too but like the whole thing in the south for a long time was that textbooks we read some excerpts from an old textbook in the south on the show months back that they didn't that they did the opposite that they sugarcoated uh the history of slavery and you know like made it way way like less more innocuous than of course it ever was and you know did so in a fallacious fashion and to act like the problem is the reverse

that like we're teaching it that it's too hardcore and it's going to upset kids or whatever is just ridiculous. Do you remember the whole chapter we read from a Texas history book where this emancipation was framed around this one little white girl in 1860s who was sad to lose all her slaves?

Yeah. Debbie Dee Hartman Lane says I'm 71 years old. Saw you twice in Asheville, North Carolina. Thank you for getting your message out. Love skews. Well, thank you, Debbie Dee. Debbie Dee, much appreciate it.

It's very sweet of you to say and to come to the show. Don't know when I'll be back in Asheville, but I know it won't be too long. Asheville, tremendous libel redneck town. And, yeah, maybe they're getting Cawthorne out of there tonight. High along wheels, no more. That'd be pretty sweet. Real quick, before we go, let's check on the results in Pennsylvania. You can see what you can find there, Mark.

Only 8% of votes are counted, so it's not really not really any takeaways. But right now, it's McCormick, Oz, and Barnett, and the Republican side, started being called for Federman. And for the governor, it says, yeah, Matt Dron is in second until a guy named Bill next plane. Matt sent me one, a tweet in the North Carolina primary, 47% of precincts reporting, Chuck Edwards, 36.5% Madison Cawthorne, 29.4%. I've seen enough. Stop the count.

Stop the count. All right. We're going to stop the show. We'll be back next week with any luck, but that's the plan. Thank you. So you love you, bye.
