Episode Date: May 29, 2024

Tonight Trae and Mark will be joined by longtime Skewniverse vagabond extraordinaire Drew Morgan to discuss Libertarians, Trump, RFK Jr. (as well as his maybe-also-insane running mate), and a host of other topics. Gonna be a good un!Support the show

all right welcome back everybody happy skews day to you thanks for being here it's may 28th 2024 i'm trade that's mark how you're doing mark good bad looking forward to tonight we're gonna have a fun show our buddy drew's coming on to help talk talk about libertarians and their convention over the weekend and we're all kinds of shenanigans went down uh before we get to the third party stuff. We're going to talk about R.FK Jr. too, if we got time because he's been up to some real shit. I want to say rest in peace to Bill Walden, and we're not going to talk. We didn't talk about sports a lot.

I mean, we've talked about more than a lot of viewers would want, but not as much as I would like. But so it's obviously a fantastic NBA player, but politically he was, you know, known as kind of a radical in a 70s context. He was arrested to Vietnam protests and went to UCLA and spoke at Abby Hoffman's Memorial Service. And said he hung out with Abby Hoffman when he was on the run from the feds. Yeah. I don't think I knew all that. I knew that he was like a SoCal guy and, you know, kind of California in that way. Like he liked, you know, he liked the green, right? The ganja, as it were. I don't know what they were calling it back in the 70s. Meanwhile, he was a fan of weed. And I knew that he was like generally like progressive or whatever. But I didn't know he was like, you know, radical at the time. I didn't know he was that hardcore. So that's cool. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome dude. I mean, of course, he was a huge pod hit. He always sounded high when he was calling Pact 12 games on ESPN.

But also, like, he had his ankles fused and fused vertebrae. And hopefully talked about how he wanted to kill himself because it's points because even so much pain. And so, I imagine pain management was a large part of that. But so people were sharing remembrances of him, and this reporter was talking about he was supposed to interview him one time. And he had, the reporter had to pull off on another story because the feds had busted up like some sort of college betting scandal or pay-for-play thing or whatever.

And Walton was cool with it. and the response was funny. It's like, it's not the first time I've had my plans changed by the FBI. Didn't he? I feel like I remember here

at like reading when I was a kid. Didn't he also like he had a stutter when he was younger? He like overcame a stutter to become a cop. So that's like, I swear to God, I feel like I read that in Sports Illustrated for kids once in like 1997.

And then that has always been like one of the first things I think of whenever I think of Bill Walton. I don't even know if that's true. Yeah. Yeah. The only childhood, I was taking some of my old buddy of mine, whose dad was from San Diego and played Little League with a kid he didn't know would grow up to be Bill Walton, but was Bill Walton.

And his dad's main memory of him was, like, he was such a large kid because he was seven foot four as an adult. And so gangly that every time he tried to swing the bat, he would actually knock out the catcher. So that's his memory. Yeah. So after a quick, after a quick Googling, I found a quote from Bill Walton where he said He couldn't speak without a stutter until he was like 28 years old. So, yeah, they went on to be a commentator. Man, he used his voice professionally. Pretty cool.

Yeah, what a life, man. What a life. Another news before we get to the show, Nikki Haley went to Israel for some reason and autographed an artillery shell. They're going to drop on. I love the heart she put in there. It's a nice touch. Like, autographing the artillery shell in the style of a junior yearbook.

signature is pretty on-brain for Nikki Haley, I feel. If y'all are only listening, it says, finish them. America, hearts Israel, always Nikki Haley. Should put one of those little, like, crosses where it's like U.S. and USA and IDF, you know, that type of thing. That would have taken it up a notch. I wish you'd sign to love you like a sister or have a good summer. That would really work for me. Sorry, I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know what anybody's doing anymore. So another insane people knew. So last week, Trump put out a campaign video that someone noticed had fake headlines from the future after Trump's reelected. And one of them was talking about a unified Reich. It was a newspaper clipping from a, like a German newspaper. And first of all, the layers to the stupidity here. One, I don't think Donald Trump personally put that in there. The danger thing here is like the young Republicans who run these campaigns are super online Nazi 4chan trolls.

Right. That's what I made like a short like rant video about just making fun of the idea of a MAGA rake, just shitting on MAGA, basically. If they had a rack like how much less impressive they'd be than the Nazis, but still terrifying, of course. But anyway, and I said in there, I was like, yeah, I'm sure he did not do this. but, like, the fact that it's like, oh, I'm not a Nazi, the people that work for me, they're willing to Nazi shit. It's like, that's still bad coming to a presidential candidate, so it don't really matter, in my opinion, whether it was personally him or just his staff.

It's still, and also it's like, Reich, that's like the German word for empire, right? Or realm, the German word for realm used as like empire. And that's true. But like, what does literally everyone think of when they hear the word? word right you know right the third one pretty much that's where the first place your brain goes so it's you know i don't really say many excuses for it personally oh well i got excuses for you tray let me read it from the ap coverage of this the word rike is often largely associated with nazi germany's third rike though the references in the trump video appeared to be uh the video trump shared

appeared to be a reference to the formation of the modern pan german nation unifying small states into a single Reich in 1871. Look, man, we don't, we don't how I have to pretend to be stupid than we are. Like, they didn't put that in the video because they're talking about Germany winning a war in 1871. Right. That's not what they're talking about. I don't even get how they could draw that conclude. It literally was a headline that said something like something, something unified Reich, right?

And that's the only place that the words even use. So like, how could you possibly come to the conclusion? It's like, oh, no, he meant the first Reich, which wasn't so bad. that's crazy right it's like but newsweek did this too the word rike is associated with nazi germany's third rike although there was no suggestion that trump was overtly referencing nazi germany that like man somebody was so as a person who watched the video i would never have noticed this was very very very so what happened was somebody put it out in there as a little nod in a wink and then told their buddies who thought it was funny you shared it was somebody who didn't think it was funny who then posted a screen grab of it

that's the only way the story gets out there and anyone notices it so like the i idea that they're not referencing Nazi Germany is fucking insane. And everybody doesn't have to do this, but it's where we're out now is everyone's, everyone gives Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt 24-7, even though he fucking the worst person in the world gets the biggest benefit of the doubt I've ever seen in my life. So it's just all very, very weird. Ain't that just the way? All right, Mr. Matt is with us back

tonight like mark said earlier we're going to be joined by a long time denizen of the skeuniverse if you've been if you've been around the skeuniverse for any amount of time at all. You know, I'm you loving Mr. Drew Morgan. We'll be with us later to talk about libertarians and other such dumbassery. But before we get to that, we start with the daily dumbass graphic plays Matt. Tonight, D. Martin Scorsese for somehow catching strays because Donald Trump wanted to cheat on his wife. This is when Trump's logger outside of the courthouse.

And the best that Biden can do is roll out a washed up actor and don't worry, my remarks will be shorter than the Irishman. I won't make you suffer for three hours. Robert De Niro showed up today. Pretty famous. It caused a pretty big,

a pretty big ordeal on the internet. I saw a lot of people talking about it coming from both sides. But yeah, you know, by big day, big deal. So De Niro, first of all, pretty solid Irishman. joke. I was not a fan. The movie was, the movie

was too long. But Scorsesee General's genius, not, but whatever he wants to do is fine. I watch the movie, I'll watch it again. So, De Niro voiced the Biden ad recently. So the Biden campaign, sorry, realized the only place you could get any sort of like news coverage was to go stand outside

Donald Trump's courthouse. That's what they did. A Biden campaign surrogate basically said that. It's like, they asked, why are you here to go, because you guys are here? It's like, you you guys only want to talk about this, so we're going to come here and talk to the people. And so De Niro showed up with some Capitol Police. The one who just, I forget the guy that ran for, I think, Democrat primary in Maryland

and Lost, and then Michael Phanone, the one with all the neck tattoos. Ari Dunn is the one. Right, you go. Yeah, that sounds right. He's the one that talked about everybody, people calling him the N-word and attacking him and stuff, right? That one. And then Phonone is the, yeah, the other prominent one from that time.

but is it like is this verified or claimed by the Biden campaign like we sent them there or just I mean there was a yeah yeah yeah Biden campaign's communication director was there with with Nero so like yeah so and I don't know why it was a little it's a little mad they made 80-some year old Robert Nero do this especially when he has like a young he has a baby at home I think but he was fed up here he goes arguing with a Trump supporter uh They are the true heroes. These guys are the true heroes. They stood and put their lives on the line for these low lives, for Trump.

They lied under oath. They lied under oath. Who lied on the road? What are you telling me? Excuse me? Those two traitors behind you. They lied under oath? That's right.

What do you say? They're trainers. They're trainers. I don't know I don't even know how to deal with you with my friend I don't even know how to deal with you I thought we're about to see

you know that scene in the Irishman when CGI Robert De Niro who's playing 40 year old Robert De Niro I thought we're about to see exactly of that I liked the Irishman it was over long but some of that de-aging stuff

that scene in particular is infamous for it's just it's so clearly a papal fighting a guy but they've de-ageing make it look like a young man, but he moves like a papaw still. It's pretty wild. But, yeah, no, I'd love seeing Nadero whooped this dude's ass.

But, yeah, there was other videos from him down there today. Like, these MAGA people, dude, people in MAGA hats, like, not right up in its face, but two feet away from screaming and saying stuff like, you're a nobody, De Niro, a nobody, like stuff like that. It's like, come on, man. Like, you're a good fellas. Yeah, like, you get an insult, you know, say you suck or whatever. I mean, even that is.

tough but like calling Robert De Niro he's like objectively speaking one of the most celebrated actors and also like just New Yorkers or whatever of our time and it I do appreciate that we talked about this a lot too it comes up all the time

but like that's a good example of like these people the ones that are super cultishly devoted they like have to pretend that you know like Kevin Sorbo hits and Robert De Niro doesn't when it comes to acting like they have to they have like they they're just preventing themselves from enjoying so

much great shit because the people who make it are you know commie liberals and whatnot yeah and they have to watch bullshit like kirk cameron's auvoir or whatever and act like that's real oscar material it's a miserable existence there's been a bunch new rap mega rappers pop up lately maybe we have to do an episode about it at some point and they're objectively fucking terrible and i get why they would make that pivot but like my thing is like if you're listening to that just because it's pro don't trump would be like you know man, go listen to some Earthgang or like, they don't even mention Trump.

You can enjoy some good, if you, the problem is they don't like rap. They just like Trump. But anyway, it's like, right. It's a, but yeah, it just drove Fox News. And by the way, before it gets to this Irishman,

get away from the Irishman too far, if you're going to, instead of CGI and Niro younger, right, and having 80, some 80 year old De Niro beat a guy up. Right. Very unconvincely, why don't you put CGI De Niro's face onto a younger guy who can believe we beat a guy up.

I agree completely. Odd choice. One note for you, Marty. By the way, I even loved Kunduz. It was a line from Sopranos when Marty cuts Chris off in line to clubby. I even like Kundut. We'll get to the actual Trump trial in a second, but they're talking about the wild scene outside of there.

People yelling at De Niro. We got shamans back, man. The shamans are multiplying if you got this photo, Matt. Yeah, there you go. The huge shaman is apparently a style, is a style of influence right now this is like especially that dude on the right on our right it's like i don't know this looks like performance art theater kid type shit or something like the look on his face and everything it just looks like the type of thing that they i know the american flag and all that aside

it just looks like the type of thing that they would hate so vehemently if they saw like some you know berkeley college kids doing an equivalent version of this thing you know what i mean it's it's weird It's weird to me. But, I mean, this Qaeda on Shaman was he was kind of like that. Like, he was like vegan or whatever the hell and all that stuff. So I mean, you know, takes multitudes, I guess. But yeah, yeah, like the Woo Woo Maga crossover. And that's basically what RFK, RFK Jr's campaign is.

It's truly a wild thing to behold. It's scrambled everything. Like nothing makes sense anymore. Like, we get to libertarians. We'll talk about it. But like, it's like nobody has any sort of political belief anymore. It's very fucking crazy. So, oh, into Trump's trial for a second.

And they were doing closing arguments today. And Trump's a lawyer got in trouble with the judge as he's been doing the whole case because he tried the judge had to give jury instructions to ignore part of the lawyer's closing argument after the judge yelled at him. Because what he did was like, he basically was like, if you guys convict, they might send him to jail. You know that. Every criminal lawyer worth his salt knows you're not allowed to do that because you're, what you're saying is like, even if this person did it, you should let him off because the penalty part of this might happen to him. he's basically poor poor widow Donald Trump might go to jail and does that seem like like it's fair to you and so it basically argued for jury nullifications what he's doing so uh the judge you know which there is you can't do jury nullification the lawyers just can't ask for it right um uh what so did they finish the closing statement like is the jury deliberating yet i know they were going to have closing statements today but like is it is it done i think so i don't know i've like i got to i think the closing arguments are done today yeah And do you have any kind of idea, like what we should be expecting in terms of, I mean, I guess you never really know, do you?

I mean, juries can deliberate for any amount of time, right? So, no way. I saw, I saw some lawyer say, usually what you expect is a day of deliberations for every week of the trial. The trial lasted five weeks, but they were only working four days a week. So it's more like four weeks. So he thought it might take four days. And the way he broke it down after watching, it was like 51% to convict, 49% hung jury, like a half. a half percent chance of, you know, not guilty.

But there's also 34 counts. They can convict on some counts and not on others. Right. Probably what they'll do because they're a jury. A juries like to do, they like to split the difference. But the part of the really hit for me was, let me read this article here. As closing arguments resumed in his hushed money case on Tuesday, Trump remained active on social media. And a pair of all caps, single word posts, the former president took to two social, just after jurors took a short break at 5 p.m.

Boring Trump wrote one of the posts. And boring is a funny choice of words for the defendant in a case like this, especially considering it's, you know, Donald Trump, former president of the United States. It's like, you know, it's like calling Robert De Niro and nobody, I guess. Right. I don't know. Boring. You know, bullshit. Sure.

But you're bored, really? Yeah, I think I'd be riveted if I was on trial for my freedom. But, yeah, so he also, like, he was also complaining on truth about how, like, I guess he just found out that the prosecution gets to give the. last closing argument because they have the home field advantage. And he thought that was unfair. I guess he thought he'd be decided by a coin flip or like, I don't know, his request or whatever. It's like, forget going to law school, buddy.

Have you ever watched a fucking episode of Law and Order? Right. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's like just like, I don't know, man. I can't make sense this fucking guy. What was the other? Something happened with that, you know, that Trump, Trump, uh, acolyte judge, Trump appointed judge that's in charge of the other case, the Jack Smith case.

alien cannon or whatever something happened with her today right she did some shit she they tried to put a gag order on Trump in that case and she turned it down and people were just talking about how like you know she going to be a problem that's already been pushed off till past it

none of the rest of them are going to happen until after the election right which means if he fucks around and wins then they'll never happen right because the the January 6th case the Supreme Court is running off the clock on Eileen Cannon is running out the clock on the documents case and Fonnie Willis in Atlanta had to get laid, so here we go.

I don't. Well, let's shift gears a little bit here. We're about to bring on our esteemed guests. Like I said, if you've been in this universe for any of my time, you know him, you love him. He's a raconteur, extraordinary, stand-up comedian, my co-host on the well-read podcast, very funny guy, and also brand-new daddy. That's right. Mr. Drew Morgan is here. Come on, Drew.

And like I told you all earlier, me and Drew will be doing shows together next week. in Richmond and Virginia Beach, Virginia, but he's got other shows going on, too. There he is. What's up, bruh? What's up? Can you guys hear me? Yeah.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. I got this new fingled fuzzy microphone. It's nice and discreet. I like it. Can't even say it. Are you whispering because Roscoe's sleeping? No.

I think I was afraid to yell in y'all's ear. Is this better? Yeah. Talk as loud as you want, buddy. We'll turn you down. So, I wanted to bring you on because you share my fellow, share my fascist fascination with libertarians. Who are they? What do they want? What are they about? As a lawyer, do you ever have to represent one who tried to do any sort of like

sovereign citizenship? No, my favorite libertarians. I mean, yeah, everybody wanted to ask me about sovereign citizenship. Everybody wants to ask every lawyer about that. Every white guy who goes to CrossFit has this fantasy that, listen, man, I don't know if you know this, but if your wife divorces you and takes your kids because you were cheating on her with her sister, you can get out of paying her alimony and child support if you write in red ink. You just put your social security number down. And you're like, what? And then the one time this guy did that to me,

and then I was like, none of that is real. And he called this guy to, like, prove it to me. And then the guy said something to him, and he was like, really? And he kind of looked at me funny. And he was like, oh, okay. And I know for a fact what the guy said was, oh, he's a lawyer. Dude, he's in on it. He doesn't want you to.

But my favorite, Trey knows this story. My favorite libertarian story from being a lawyer is, we'd go to this bar that had a hot tub at the bar in Miami, and me and my buddy Jimmy, wildest dude ever. My trial partner used to come in drunk, win cases on some obscure facts. He wore crushed purple velvet suits and also wasn't really allowed to practice because of some crime that happened in New Orleans I never understood. We're not friends anymore because he confessed his love for me

and told me he wanted to replace my life one night. You've had that happen a number of times. Me and him used to get hammered and getting that hot tub and just like, you know, yell things. Yeah, sometimes. The prosecutors started coming to that bar. This was when we were young public defenders because we had hotter women. Like, just like objectively and sorry to objectify, but like at that time, our class just had a lot of beautiful, young, smart women. And the prosecutor's office was a sausage party.

So these guys would come. we'd have to like pretend to care to get to know him well this dude who had known for a while he shows up without his suit he's got a don't tread on me tattoo on his forearm and for those of you who aren't up and up on libertarianism and don't treading on me the idea that someone could believe that and then be a prosecutor for the state is literally one of the most insane lack of a philosophical consistency or discipline. So I just started going in on him. I climbed out of the hot tub.

Like Jimmy saw it from afar, I got out of the hot tub, went up there soaking wet. He's like hitting on one of my friends. I'm like, hey, Jack, what the fuck kind of tattoo is that? He's like, oh, what? I don't know, man. You don't know, no tread on me. I was like, yeah, who does the treading? You and all your fucking stupid friends.

and he tried to fight me and the bouncer kicked him out because he got like real loud and then later the bouncer was joking with us and was like I couldn't kick you out you were wetting in your underwear

like homophobia sometimes goes your way yeah libertarians I feel like it's a very very common experience for a lot of like teenage boy maybe teenage girls too

I just don't know I was a teenage boy A lot of teenage boys in particular, like at some point in time, a young adolescent man in this country will hear, we'll find out about the idea of libertarianism and like what that means. It's like, oh, government can't tell you what to do or take your money, right? You can smoke weed and keep all your money or whatever. And at 15, you're like, well, that's what's up. Like, that sounds sweet. Like, that sounds rad.

And then you get older and you learn more about how things work and you start to question it. You're like, well, what about death? What about roads? What about all these things? And it starts to like fall apart. But some people just that that other part just never happens for them. That's why I like that don't tread on. That's why they don't tread on me tattoo story is perfect.

It's because it's like if people have a consistent philosophy, it sort of makes sense. But most of them send to believe don't tread on me specifically. Right. Tread on whoever else you want, but just not me. Well, but that person's getting fucked because they don't have a road or a school. It's like, but I got a road to school, fuck you. Right. That's sort of how I go.

There's a common, real quick, there's a common internet joke I love where it's just, it's astrology for men. Yeah, because it would be nice if it worked. It truly would be. There's another common internet joke about libertarians that I like, and you know, I'm a cat person, I love cats, but says libertarians are like the house cats of American politics because it's like they are utterly, they are completely disdainful of a system that keeps them alive without them real. it like they're completely disdainful of and completely dependent upon a system beyond their capacity to understand right i think the first part of that joke is like they're utterly convinced of their own ferocity yet completely dependent on a system that keeps them alive that's like i think the ferocity part's important yeah sorry go ahead well i still stand by my joke which is other than

the awareness part apparently i'm a self-aware house cat yeah there you go i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i would die. If left to my own devices, I would absolutely fucking die. So in all of us, that's why we're a society. I don't know how to do most shit. I need that. You know, it exists. But so what happened over the weekend was Trump spoke, and Matt, I'm not going to call up as many videos because

that's way down the list, Matt. So I'm going to call for many videos because because I think with three of us talking, it's going to get a little confusing. But Trump gave a speech in which he got booed. We'll get to that in a second. But he seems to think, like a lot of people do, that libertarianism

is just about getting away with crimes. Let me quote here. In the last year, I've been indicted by the government on 91 different things, so if I wasn't a libertarian before, I sure as hell, I'm a libertarian now. That's a bar.

I'm sorry. I've seen it in an outline, and I was like, that is fire. Trump has a very special talent, and I know people don't want to acknowledge that he has talent, but he clearly does because he won't fucking go away. And this highlights it to me.

True libertarians roll their eyes at that. but I bet the online boys were partying hard when he said that I bet like the at give me liberty fuck you bitch give me death

2000 loved that in the chat room but the actual people who have a philosophical consistency of course rolled their eyes at that childish view

of what libertarian well it's funny because it's the same argument he made to black people also was like he's like you guys know what it's like getting arrested all the time

and stuff like that Like, I can't believe he didn't follow this up at the libertarian thing. Like, honestly, I expect there to be more black people here now that I think about it. But what if that's just his new move? He just keeps going to different groups. You guys know what it's like to be arrested. You guys are dumb rednecks. You guys are Mexicans.

You guys are Nambla, right? Yeah. So you got on to a great start. He showed up 30 minutes late. A bunch of mega people came in and tried, like, when everybody was in the bathroom, tried to steal the front rows of seats, but then the libertarian people made a move. so but then because their plan was trying to prevent him from being booed

it's like a mixed reaction but it wasn't he came out on stage and they booed their fucking their fucking ass off after like their mega people replaced in the crowd and the only main news takeaway here other than the being funny was you can put that screen bag up green grab back up there matt he plans to commute the sentence of silk road founder ross olbrick um do you guys remember this case at all i mean i remember the silk road because i remember when i heard about it i was like that's what's up i never could figure out how to make it work because i was too computer dumb but I always really like the idea of it.

Silk Road was like dark web drug marketplace, right? You could order ecstasy off the internet, off the dark web and whatnot. I tried 2CB from a Russian 19-year-old who was my neighbor in Florida the same year Jimmy professed his love to me. Miami's a weird place. Anyway, that's not a brush with the Silk Road. So, yeah, he had online like a pseudonym and tried to like do whatever hacker shit to not get called. The FBI eventually found out who he was because he, apparently approved an FBI agent to be an admin on the website.

But yeah, like he made like hundreds of millions of dollars essentially being a drug trafficker, but over the internet. And I don't really did war on drugs is bullshit. But again, going back to the thing like, like the main thing about Trump here is Trump has pledged

to institute the death penalty for every other drug dealer except for this one guy except because he's like white and rich, I guess, and libertarian. It's the same thing he did with rappers. This literally is his, move to black people re-hatched. If you have this video, Matt, of him,

but he does, going back to the theme of he thinks he's about, he thinks it's just about getting away with crimes. Like, I, talking about his talent, he sees this group of guys better than they see themselves. If you got this video, Matt, of him talking about sexual misconduct. And other Christians and opponents of his weaponized state. Right now, the Biden, DOJ, is trying to put Christians in prison for 11 years, for the crime of singing hymns

the moment I win the election I will appoint a special That's the wrong video, man. Anyway, so what he said, he was talking about Biden's Department of Education changing his,

he had changed some Title IX stuff to make it harder to accuse people coming out of college for being accused of sexual assault. And he was talking about how he's going to put those rules back in place to make it basically said out loud

to make it easier to get away with sexual misconduct, expecting them to cheer, and then he said, you all know about all. You guys know all about that, right? So anybody is familiar with online libertarians, know they're obsessed with age of consent laws and they think they're immoral.

That's a tough look. Yeah, so Trump, basically, the one thing you know is about libertarians that they don't know about themselves is a lot of them are sex weirdos, and he has them absolutely fucking pegged. But like, going back to all, brick for a second. He wasn't, what he's in prison for life for is drug dealing, but he was also

accused of five separate murder for hire plots where he paid a toll of $730,000 to five people who were all apparently uncover FBI agents, which like, decent argument he keeps in traps. We're not going to get into that for a second. But like, they were going to charge with one, they threw out, because they apparently had proof for, but they, but he was in prison for life during the way. They didn't bother, but this all wasn't, you know, included in sentencing. So he's there promising to pardon the guy. who tried to have five different people killed, and they're like,

who! Right. Well, I mean, it's like I said, just the Silk Road part, like just knowing that, this guy found him the Silk Road. And, you know, people, like, hell yeah,

let him free my man, all bricked or whatever, but it's not surprising. And he turns out he's a dirt bag and tried to kill. Who was he trying to kill? I need to hear more information, you know? I don't know the other four,

but the one he got indicted for was an employee of his, so I guess he was afraid he was going to rat on him. Oh, I assumed it was, like, he just couldn't get the guy killed. He kept going back. So it was five different people. Yeah. Maybe he's a bad guy.

I just thought he was a guy, you know, nobody wants to work, even hit him in. Dude, Olbrook is a committed principled libertarian. He thinks everything should be for sale, including having people killed. And he had $730,000. And like, that should be, when somebody's trying to charge you $730,000, the going rate to have somebody murdered is like a grand or two. Right. If you're getting charged $730,000, that's a, that is a fucking.

it's also kind of like not a great endorsement of his own product and service right because it wasn't that I mean am I misremembering that also on the Silk Road you could hire hit men and wild shit like that and you wasn't just and I listen I'm not for that part but like that was supposed to be part of it right so it's like he tried and failed five times using his own you know what I mean it's just not a not a great look

from a business perspective I feel like alone never mind he's a shitty client Yeah. He had a, so let me read here. By the time Albert graduated college, he had become interested in libertarian economic theory and adhere to the political philosophy of Ludwig Levan Mises, supported Ron Paul, promoted agorism. I'm not even getting to what these words mean because they don't matter, but participated in college debates to discuss his economic views. Put it in prison for life for being that fucking, the most annoying guy in your college class. That's all I got to say about the last thing of Albert.

So, so Trump spoke at this thing. And they had the first round vote total. And God bless these people. The leading vote got in the first round was Michael Rectinwald, who's the Mises caucus candidate. We'll get to them in the second because they're just a bunch of racists. RFK Jr. got 19 votes somehow. Some guy who goes by Toad got 16. Trump got six right-in votes.

Stormy Daniels got one. And there was one right-in vote for Ben Dover. Yeah. Another for Denali, the cat. And another one for Afro-Man, the rapper who had the I Want to Get High song from 20. years ago? Yeah. Because I got high, Mark.

Get it right. She's respect to Aframan. Also, what was the other one he had with the... Where he had sex in every state. Yeah. Oh, my God. From Hawaii. Yeah.

She said, hey! Yeah. What is that? What is that song? Anyway, it's a bang. Anyway, sorry. I mean, I'm going to look it up, but you can go ahead, Mark. In that song, he fucked Dolly Parton, but he did it respectfully.

As Dolly deserves. Yeah. He also... the daughter of the head of the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. He did. Yeah, in that song. Anyway, yeah. So, Trump, after they were booing after he made his sales pitch,

is he closed by saying, just keep getting your 3%, which is fucking great. Yeah, that was another kind of bar. That was kind of, that was funny to me. Yeah, so when they were booed him, yeah, he's like, fine. It's like, you know what? If you don't want to win, fine. Keep getting your 3% every 4 years. Right.

just like and I love like I got to say man I disagree with a lot of their principles but I got to respect anybody of you know a man's got to have a code and uh so the other quote from a delegate at the convention he said trump sold high top gold high tops at sneaker con maybe he can sell us gold dildos to fuck ourselves with said thomas knapp love it love it great quote so like the best libertarians are usually fun at least Doug Stanhope, I think he quit, but Doug Stanhope comes to mine. I think he gave up on it.

I mean, another one who gave up on, you know, our frequent contributor here and guest hosts and good friend. Travis Irvine, he's talked about it on the show before. He was a libertarian for years, worked on libertarian campaigns and stuff. If you've got to be in one, it's the raddest one on paper. Right. And I do what, like, we talked about it to the Mises Caucus a minute ago. They just sort of meant it like a party takeover a couple years ago, like a, like a hospital takeover. They're just out and out racist and the rest of the party.

them, and they took the party back from them at this convention. And the guy who actually got the nomination, his name is Chase Oliver. Let me tell you a few details about this guy, right? He ran for the Georgia Senate in 2022. He got 2%, which is probably the reason Warnock won. He spoke at the Columbia, South Carolina City Council meeting a couple years ago in opposition to regulatory hurdles that prevent people from feeding the homeless. He spoke at the Atlanta City Council meeting into a post-cop city, calling out the over-militarization

of police and speaking out against qualified immunity. He was previously a Democrat but left the party due to his own anti-war views. And he's been described as, quote, pro-gun, pro-police reform, pro-choice, and armed and gay. So this guy I want to fucking hang out with. He sounds pretty cool. That's what I'm saying. It's like, again, just to sort of like elaborate a little bit on what I said earlier, I feel like I know that age of consent, you get in some gnarly shit. But I feel like I don't automatically think that a libertarian is going to be, you know, like, I don't want to be around this person or whatever.

because I feel like it's just like a lot of it sounds rad. It's just that it ain't feasible or it don't really make sense. Like when you get into it. But like the idea of a lot of it, yeah, I mean, I get why you'd be into that. So, I mean, you know. Yeah. Sorry, go ahead. I was going to say something I can't quite fit on a T-shirt,

but I feel so strongly as it relates to this exact thing. And this is how I feel about so many conservatives. There's so many things that make great personal philosophies. and horrific public policies. Case in point, pull yourself up by your bootstraps. If you take on the notion that nothing's going to stop you, if that inspires you, if hearing a story of someone claiming to have done that,

you know, it's like, yes, work hard, work for ourselves. But that's like just a horrible way to organize society. That's how I feel about a lot of libertarian principles where I'm like,

yeah, dude, you should do that. But we should also have some safety nets. Right. It's like, like, I believe in a general pro-freedom philosophy. I don't think a corporation should be free to pollute a river. Right.

So like that's like, so, like, so, but at the top of the show, I was talking about, like, everything's scrambled when nobody really believes in anything. Like, in general, everything I described to you about that Chase Oliver guy, except for being super pro-gun would be, sounds like a DSA sort of platform, right? But like, RFK Jr. also spoke at the, at the, at the libertarian convention, got a much warmer welcome than Donald Trump. even though he's ostensibly basically used to be like a green party type guy. And his running mate, Nicole Shanahan,

support states legislating restrictions on abortion and far-right efforts to ban trans youth health care. That's the exact opposite. That's diametrically opposed to everything the Libertarian Party stands for. It's all fucking nonsense. So that's pivoted to RFK Jr. If I can for a second,

because this story is absolutely wild. There's a story put in his book that's been telling you since the early 80s about how he was on like, a whitewater rafting trip in Peru and some natives started shooting bow and arrows at him and he had a bow and arrow that he left

back at the hotel or where that's unfortunate. Can't be caught up there without your bow and arrow, man. Like fishing a barrel. Come on. What are you thinking, RFK? So he says his cousin Christopher Kennedy Lawford had some dynamite with him as you do. So he lit a stick of

dynamite and threw it at the at the Indians and they saved their lives So like the thing about this is like Except for the part where they're in a boat Instead of a wagon This is a scene from 310 to Yuma Basically And like

But anyway So obviously that's bullshit He claimed he almost got shot in a leg By an arrow The problem is his cousin also wrote a book Before he died Where he recounted this And his version of story was like some drunk Indians

Yeah We're fucking around And shot some arrows near them to fuck with him And then they did and do anything, and that was the end of it. That sounds much more realistic to me. Well, you know, Martin, never let the truth get in a way of a good story, right? Do what they say?

It's like, so you got, you know, some drunk Indians take a couple shots at you from just to, you know, just to freak you out a little bit, whatever. Next thing you know, you're hurling dynamite, it's a luneitone situation. You know what I mean? I get it if you're retelling it drunk. No, I mean, he's a, this is pre-brain-worm. Do he get the brainworm on this same trip or that's a whole different thing? This is...

This is pre-getting the brainworm. This is before he was trying to get the brainworm. that of paying alimony. A couple stories came out recently about his running mate, Nicole Shanahan. And I got to tell you, man, there's a lot to unpack here. How much do you guys know about her? I know that she, a lot of people think she's just, she's rich and he needs money. And so that's why, because we're like, what the hell is this about?

That's what that's about reportedly. And she, Port Delon Musk and also used to be married to the Google guy or something like that. She's like a tech, you know, Jezebel. Right. A tech loose woman. I don't know. You know, get around on the tech world. I will say Trump called her a gold digger, and that's a lot of people's image of her.

So she used to be a Democratic donor, and basically her journey to being part of RFK Jr.'s, like, whole thing or whatever, started with she had trouble getting pregnant. And then doctors told her she couldn't conceive. And then she got acupuncture and then she got pregnant naturally. She started believing doctors are bullshit. All right. Then she, her kid was diagnosed with autism. And so that started on her being against vaccines. And she's fallen to the orbit of this medical influencer named Dr. Jack Cruz,

who lives like in South America because like probably to avoid extradition as my guess. He's a paleo diet advocate and wellness guru whose ideas around so-called natural healing have become central to her beliefs about autism and beyond. His ideas include that sunscreen is unnecessary and the genital sunbathing promotes fertility. Cruz even told her, like, he has this theory that, like, blue light from computers is a government conspiracy to, like, subdue us all and give us diseases. And remember, she was married. The father of her child is Sergei Bryn, who's the head of alphabet, Google's parent company,

right? and he convinced her that her husband, her child's father is part of this cabal to brainwash us all. So now she doesn't have Wi-Fi at her house and she makes her kids slim in the salt, but she took the water pool

and the salt water pool, yeah. That's who that guy called when he was asking me about straw man theory and not going to be dreaded on. He called that guy, and that guy was like, he's in on it like Sergey did.

So I want to ask you, Drew, before you came on earlier, Mark up top, we somehow got into mentioning that like the crossover that's happened between woo-woo you know woo-woo California crystal type shit whatever and then now like right wing or maga or whatever you call rfk junior in this whole situation i'd like your uh your perspective on that because you know you know you've been talking about woo-woo stuff and whatnot what are you it was inevitable so as soon as the right

wing any aspect or portion of them let go of god which i know if you're like in the south you're like, what are you talking about? But, like, out there in the world, dude, there's a lot of Jimmy Buffett Republicans. They've got boats. You know, they don't get a fuck about God. They had to replace it with something, though, because these are essentially like brains

that organize themselves in paramilitary structures with some sort of magic at the top. And once you get rid of white guy with a beard who killed his son, you've got to do something equally as strange. And some of them, of course, found their way over to woo-woo world. and I'll tell you exactly why, Trey, those girls are hot and they're slutty.

And that's why I'm in the woo-woo world and that's why the learning men people are in the woo-woo world. And honestly, that's why the hot, slutty girls are in the woo-woo world because going outside, worshiping a tree, throwing mud on your naked tities and doing a bunch of mushrooms is fucking fun. And we kept trying to tell them that because we thought it would make them nice, good people. And it didn't. they had they did it they had fun they were like all right back to hating the blacks or whatever and uh you know it was an all time backfire on our part and as part of the woo woo

delegation are bad we really thought we could fuck these guys out of being hateful fascists and we didn't i think the mommy internet plays a big factor here too um you know people sharing and shaming each over the wealth and wellness tips and they could like it's everything's downstream if argued about breastfeeding, I feel like is a lot of it. Yeah, and related to that, homesteading and woo-woo go hand-in-hand because they have a lot of the same ideas about homeopathy.

And homesteading is a, currently just a haven for right-wing insanity. I'm not saying everybody who homesteads is that, but like is that like trad wife stuff is get trapped into that, what you're saying? Yeah. The idea is like there's, yeah, modern

self. Influencers or whatever who are making all their, you They got sourdough mothers and all their shit. Stuff to hit from me, by the way. Yeah, there's like this notion of modernity kind of sucks, and we all kind of get that, right? So we're looking for an answer. Right.

Yeah, it is funny to become an influencer about like stuff like natalism, which is like sort of an atheist philosophy about how we should have a bunch of kids to save humanity and make your living spreading that message on YouTube about how modernity sucks. It's very, very interesting to me. So, yeah, so the limit of toxins, her daughter's name Echo, It's limited toxins she believed that caused Echoes Autism. Sanahan adapted her home, limiting light sources other than the sun. So I guess her daughter has constant sunburn from open roofs or something.

I don't fucking know. So she also makes her daughter swim in a saltwater pool every morning as the sun comes up. And I guess she's autism-free. I know she's not. I don't know what. I'm not sure at what point these people will give up on Woo Woo Curisoo stuff that's actually real. But the New York Times also had like a big-time profile. of just like her life story and it's fucking crazy man like there's so many so much weird stuff

in lies baked in like cheap her origin story that she grew up poor in the bay area and i don't know where the truth that is her mom's a chinese immigrant who like clean house and stuff so i don't totally doubt it but also she went to a college that cost 24 000 a year and sure backstory for why that's true how she's able to do that she says she got scholarships but someone just looked it up and that college doesn't give scholarships hmm um i don't know do you You guys have anything? No, I mean, I was going to, you know, like Asian kid from the Bay Area, probably a scholarship is where, that's where my brain went. But if it's a college, it literally doesn't do that, then I don't know.

Bootsrapped it, man. Old school. Maybe. Maybe. The rich guy's house who took the like in the one or both of them. I mean, yeah, I guess there's, like, definitely ways to it. Well, here's a twist. She claimed it was an athletic scholarship.

But so, so, this quote really hit for me. Mr. Kennedy, who's running as an independent, picked me. his shanahan without his advisors having looked fully into her history or where her money was coming from two people familiar with the campaign said by then she'd already become a crucial financier of his run so they did no opo research

on their own candidate and picked her and now they got to live with her because Aaron Rogers wasn't rich enough to be his run mate basically right the story here she so she ended up married to Sergey Brin she was married to a guy briefly before that

named Cranz she met Sergey about a month before she was scheduled to get married. They started having an affair like three weeks before her wedding to this other guy who immediately discovered the affair by seeing her text messages. And when he said he was going to basically get an annulment based on going to the marriage under fraudulent

circumstances, she was afraid it would preclude her working as a lawyer to have that on her record. So she threatened to kill herself if he didn't give her like a legitimate divorce. And this will come up again. She threatened to kill herself basically every time she gets in any trouble and it gets her out of water. Well, that's, I mean, that's

I wish she might live. You know what I mean? But yeah, that's, uh, yeah, it's kind of page one stuff. Where are the libertarians when you need them? Let that bitch do what she wants. All right. So, uh, so, uh, so uh, it brings us in 2020 when she was still married to Sergey Brin. Um, so,

according to the, in her times had a bunch of people in their lives who apparently fit up with her bullshit who were open sources about like, uh, what was going on in their marriage, including Brin apparently. So they could basically have, apparently the downfall of the marriage started with arguing about pandemic lockdowns, as a lot of relationships have, it did, I guess. She wanted to still be going out and stuff, and he didn't want to get sick. And also the stress, so that's about the time the daughter was diagnosed with autism. So she started going out more. And one night in Miami, she got so hammered off drugs and booze that she needed an IV infusion from like an ambulance.

This is like a 40-year-old woman. It seems like somebody should be like, hey, Nicole, you go to mom, you know, why are you in Miami? It's Miami. Yeah, well, that's a valid question. I was like, you know, I mean, you know, went in Rome, do a bunch of coke, almost go to the house. Oh, among this, Mark. Yeah. All right.

And so apparently, like, where she hooked up with Elon, it was a different party later the same year. Her and Elon got high on ketamine and disappeared together for several hours at a house party. And she later told Bryn, her husband, that she had sex with me. musk uh and she also told details of the experience to friends family and advisors all right if i had sex with elan musk you'd have to abu grabe that shit out of me i would not be confessing it to my fucking family yeah she's clearly collecting tech nerds though right like Pokemon got to catch them all and that also that world you know they have dinner parties it's very like it's not like but it's analogous to New York's bohemian rich people culture in the 50s and 60s,

you know, where rich acolytes would prop up the poet and musician of the day, and then they'd all fuck each other and blah, blah, blah. I mean, Palo Alto is a wild place, but instead of cool artists, it's the worst nerds with bad hearts in the world. And they're all 50. Like, I was like, if it's a sex party, again, like a swingers thing, it wasn't. There's just a house party. They went upstairs and fucked at a house.

party. It's somebody else's house. And I'm like, that's, I feel like I'm too old for that. They're older than me. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but I, off what Drew was saying, I am not surprised. That whole culture up there, I'm not surprised to hear that there's a lot of like, you know, philandering and fucking, anytime it's like super rich people in any kind of situation, you know what I mean? I just always assumed that there's a bunch of, uh, um, you know, people doing shit like this. Basically. I'm not surprised by it. So even though she told a bunch of people she'd slept with Elon,

when she was asked about it after the story became public, she told People magazine that her and Musk had just been talking about her daughter's autism treatment, which I'm sure Elon's a great listener, seems like it. Anyway, she said it was humiliating to be known as its first sexual acting being called a cheater. It took her and Bryn 18 months to reach a divorce settlement, which they were going to get divorced. They were just arguing about money. And apparently to get more money, she again threatened to kill herself.

Um, she's like, uh, this is like, yeah, I don't, you know, madam, I'm not going to say what I was about to say. So, uh, in recent weeks, because she used to do a Democratic donor, Standard Lib, she's largely scrubbed her social media feeds, uh, people familiar with her, uh, two people familiar with her in the Kennedy campaign said, but social accounts are not populated with shots of herself without makeup at a farmer's market as well as wearing Western gear and posing with rifles in Texas with her new fiancé, who's also a crypto trader. So now she's running for president.

She moved to Texas, and she's posting selfies with guns. And they want to take votes off Joe Biden. I'm trying to make sense of this. Nothing makes any fucking sense. This last thing I'll say about her, at a fundraiser in Nashville last week, she announced that she had given another $8 million to the campaign and said, I think I know what they're going to say. They're going to say Bobby only picked me for.

for my money, her remark to laughter from the crowd. Yeah. What are you going to say, there? There's a pretty convincing argument to me on the Trump side that this is a total op

from the Biden camp, that it's the best move they pulled, bringing the Kennedy, who is a lifelong lefty of some sort, he was Green Party, I think, not Democrat,

and just be like, hey, you got a place in the party, we'll get you a cush job at CNN whenever you want. All you got to do is, run, reeling all these right wingers and take votes away from Donald Trump because that's what he's doing.

I mean, the fact that he got that many libertarian votes is crazy. But here's the weird part of the op is, outside of her money, his campaign infrastructure and his previous funding was all MAGA people who apparently were planning to do the op in reverse. So if it works this way, this is the funniest thing to ever happen

in American politics. Yeah, I don't actually believe that that's what is going down. It's just like a fun conspiracy. But it is what's going to happen. He's pulling votes away from Trump. Right. Hey, more power to him. About Tom of Kennedy, actually helped this country.

Drew, tell everybody about your tour and where they can go, whatever. And then also, if you want to, if you want to go in on that Biden admin situation with the social media stuff. Oh, sure. Yeah, well, do we have time for another topic? Well, I mean, we can talk about it a little bit.

All right. Well, first of all, let me play. my tour first before I alienate your audience. Child Support Tour starts up, but for those of you who do know, maybe you know, and I have a kid, so I'm calling it a Child Support Tour. I'll be in Raptor, Virginia. I'll be in Virginia Beach and Richmond with Tray soon. I'm going to hit Bristol, Nashville.

It's a big show that's coming up June 25th. We're going to hit Atlanta, June 7th, and 8th. It's going to be a fun time. I got dates all the way through November. I'm going to be in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina. go to drew morgancomcom for tickets i'm a very good stand-up comedian you will have a great time yes okay yeah you should and again two of those shows in virginia me and drew will be there together so yeah come see us it'll hit i think you are just sold at least one of them out so honestly

fuck tray shows like so you send us a link to an article earlier about the uh the story that the the Biden administration has been working with the social media companies in an effort to limit pro-Palestinian content. So let's take this back, because that story's about Sean King, who is a worm. Yeah, he don't have for me. He's not for nobody. He's really good, though, at being in the forefront of actual important issues. That is his skill.

But there's a case called Missouri v. Joe Biden that went before the Supreme Court. I'm sorry, they went before the Fifth Circuit. It's probably going to go before the Supreme Court. And which it was essentially a case where the Biden administration was, trying to tell meta and other social media companies like Twitter, hey, stop posting all this shit about lockdowns being bad or government conspiracies and masks not working. And at first the social media companies push back and then they threatened them.

But by the end of the case, they had included in it parody accounts of Joe Biden, accounts that said Joe Biden's economy was whack, all this stuff. Now, Joe Biden's administration for the record, I know people were already mad at me because I'm talking bad at it. about Biden and not Trump. This is not the first administration to do something like this. It's probably every administration has done some version of this going back to when we had newspapers. But in the day and age of social media, it's now coming to a head in terms of we now have a structure and we see how they're going to do this. For those of you,

here's the crash course in free speech. The government cannot limit you in your free speech, but a private company, of course, can. They have no responsibility to put your speech. You shit out there. But imagine, for example, the police couldn't get a warrant to search your house so they just asked the private detective to do it and told him they would get him in trouble if he didn't. You'd be furious and you'd be like, wait a minute, you can't do that work around. That's bullshit. Well, that's sort of what's starting to happen with free speech and social media. Trump did it, I'm sure, too, or will, if Meda would listen to him. Biden's doing it. Well, Biden was doing it to right

wingers. And a lot of us let it slide because we hated the speech. The speech was dumb. It was fucking dumb speech. It was dumb shit speech and people were like, ah, go ahead and suppress the dumb speech. But now they're also suppressing pro-Palestinian speech. I know a lot

of people even on the left are like, well, I'm fucking good. I think that's bullshit. Well, maybe if the speech wouldn't be suppressed, you might feel differently about that. I don't know. Free Palestine. But what I do think is important to every American, or it should be, genuinely, is the notion that an administration can threaten a private company with anything, with sanctions or whatever it is, to get them

to suppress speech should be a concern. Now, obviously, if it's like hate speech, yeah, like, get it out of here. But it gets sort of blurry with like, quote-unquote misinformation. Well, the Supreme Court's already said you're allowed to lie. And thank God. God. I mean, how many times would we all be fussed if we want to rely on social media? Like, what kind of country do we want here, people? Right. So that's my soapbox lately, because what I've been trying to do lately, look, you can't talk sense in the right-wing people in this country anymore. If one's watching right now, thank you so much for being the exception. They're all gone. They have brainworms. They got them from Robert Kennedy. They're fucked. So I've been

trying to personally just talk about issues that I think the left needs to like adjust a little on and I think one of them right now is that the Biden administration is cracking down on free speech. We let it happen when they were doing it the right wingers. Now they're doing it the people on the left

and you know that's that old fucking saying dude first they came for the you know whatever then they came for me. The only thing the Missouri case I was following that one too and the dividing line here is like it's not it wasn't clear totally whether it was like even the judges like when the case made the Supreme court

Brett Kavanaugh made this point it's like well I worked in the Bush administration and we called we called reporters and work sources all the time like is this is this is just complaining about stuff they're saying or is it like we're going to shut you down the problem is like Facebook and Google and stuff are so powerful right it's not really clear who works for who or because there's only one source for speech whatever they're doing is important and like like that's sort of like the article you sent from Ken Clippenstein who's great by the way is like it's like so we know they're cracking down on pro homas content every administration does that we don't they don't you can't watch ISIS beheading videos in America without somebody coming to your house right but what are

they calling pro homas right that is that that is the question and the article couldn't answer the question says they hadn't responded for comment I'm just saying like I'm just saying like I'm just and obviously this is anecdotal but I can share that meta demonetized me from late October all the way through January, because I shared something from Means TV, and all that happened in the video, they were essentially saying that something Israel had done was the same type of move that Bin Laden had done. And then Meta said, this is a pro-Osama bin Laden video, and therefore you're now demonetized. Now, look, I'm not going to say here and tell you guys with a straight face that

that I want pro Osama bin Laden videos out of there on the internet. But first of all, no the fuck it wasn't. And second of all, free speech is free speech. What if somebody does have the belief that Osama bin Laden had some good points? I mean, you have you ever right to beat that guy's ass because, you know, you weren't there?

But this is supposed to be a country where you can say why you think that. And it is pretty clear that that happened because of a push from the Biden administration, you could argue that the push was, hey, please do this for us. And META went, okay, cool. But that doesn't appear to be the case from the Missouri case. Even when it was like a right wing thing, META and X or Twitter, I think, was at the time, was pushing back, was saying, hey, we don't want to have to do this.

They didn't break any of our violations. And it was like, well, you better. And they never called them on the, or what? Well, one last thing I'll say is, like, I'm not, I don't, like, we're, Facebook, because of its own incentives would like, they, they like outrage content to a point, right? So, like, they have their own content moderation teams. This is his own social disease, but like people making $2 an hour overseas to watch beheading videos and child porn and so on and so forth to keep them off your feed because you're the customer they want to keep, right? So, like, they don't want that stuff. Like, there are reasons they wouldn't let videos of dead kids be on Facebook outside of political.

pressure because it makes people turn off Facebook. You know, I'm not saying, like, I'm not saying, like, I'm not saying, like, there's, Ken worded this article carefully to not draw conclusions based upon who's making them do what, because they have, there's a bunch of different weird actors here. Personally, I would just break up Facebook and Google where they're a bunch of, much more options, and then the problem sort of like, it's less of a problem in general, but I know I, I'm sympathetic to what you're saying. Well, I get what you're saying about the letting the market drive it, but the problem with that

theory is it only applies to the dead kids. It doesn't apply to, well, again, what I shared. I mean, they told me, this is why we took you down. This video was pro Osama bin Laden. And again, it wasn't. It was making the point, hey, if you hate Osama bin Laden, you should probably hate what Israel is currently doing right now. So first of all, let's point that out.

But second of all, even if it was pro Osama bin Laden, that's not going to make anyone turn off Facebook. I don't believe that for a second. That is precisely why my father-in-law is addicted to Facebook. So he can find or imagine people who are pro Osama bin Laden and beat him off his team. Yeah. All right.
