Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews - 6/11/24 – Hunter Biden Convicted

Episode Date: June 12, 2024

Well Skewers, everyone else is talking about it so we reckon we should too: Hunter Biden has been convicted of three felony gun charges related to lying on a background check. Which is of course a mas...sive surprise considering his father Joe Biden personally operates a famously rigged and partisan justice system. What does it all mean? We’ll try and figure it out. Support the show

Starting point is 00:00:00 What's up, everybody, welcome back. Happy Skews Day to you. It is June 11th, 2024. I'm Trey. That's Mark. How you doing there, Mark? Yeah, man. We're going to have a fun show.
Starting point is 00:00:18 We're talking about our long national nightmare is over. That's right. A criminal, Hunter Biden, has been brought to justice by, I'm assuming a super team, something like the Avengers or Batman and a Flash. I feel like it's so dumb everyone's decided this is going to be a big deal so I figure we should talk about it
Starting point is 00:00:35 about why it shouldn't be a big deal or whatever but it's all it's all steeped Democrats have fumble themselves into an extremely stupid situation which is part of the course when you're institutionalists and no team isn't
Starting point is 00:00:51 and it's just like it's pretty funny a couple things where we get to the show the Republican nominee for Governor North Carolina the guy we talked about before Mark Robinson and who's the current lieutenant governor. Yeah. He had an old interview from like 2018 surface where he,
Starting point is 00:01:06 insinuated the United States government was involved in both the attack on Pearl Harbor and the death of General George Patton. That's a new one to me anyway. It's a exciting new insane conspiracy theory. This guy's good for those. This guy like exclusively says insane stuff, right? We've talked about him before. I mean, I have to imagine he's a rising superstar because every single quote I've ever seen from him is like bafflingly crazy.
Starting point is 00:01:29 so he's off to a good stuff. Yeah. And like the theory is both conspiracies were to help Joseph Stalin because the American government FDR were the communist or something. I don't fucking know. But like the, so Patton died in like a low speed car accident in Germany immediately following the war. And it's kind of a Nazi dog whistle. Like you've got to be deep in the lore. Truly understand what he's going for there. But Patton was the military governor of Bavaria.
Starting point is 00:01:56 That was his last post. and he sort of resisted denotification efforts because he the war did, like he wanted to be in the war but Nazis didn't not hit for him and he preferred them to the communists. So he thought the theory here is that because Patton was resisting denotification
Starting point is 00:02:11 that the U.S. government killed him so the Soviet Union could become preeminent or something. I don't know. It also kind of like sort of implies that the philosophy here is that you know, Nazis hit harder than communists. Like anything's better than communists, including Nazis.
Starting point is 00:02:27 So it's like, you know, that's pretty, that's also pretty part for the course. So they've been, they've been, you know, implying that in one fashion or another for the past few years. So I guess sort of checks out. Yeah. Also, like, so British Prime Minister of Rishi Sunak called a, it called an election for July, I think. And so going swimmingly, the Tories are probably going to get wiped out by labor. But the, he had a few, so he announced the election in a speech. outdoors in the rain while the Labor Party played a song trying to drown him out, all very stupid and silly.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Sunak also got in trouble because there was a big ceremony for the, you know, 80th anniversary of D-Day, and he skipped out on it to go do an interview to try to save his electoral chances. And, of course, that was a huge, another controversy from that. Joe Biden gave a speech where he said, fascism is bad, and American conservatives took that as an assault on Trump. Yeah, that was funny. You know, which sort of checks. Okay, this British election thing, right, they, I know we could be here all day trying to unravel all this, but they like, so he called for the election, right, which is how it works somehow or another. They don't have regularly said elections like we do. It's a situation like this, right?
Starting point is 00:03:40 But also, every bit of polling and everything indicates that the Tories are like the GOP over there, that they're going to get smoked, right? So, A, why did he do that? But also, B, there were European elections recently, too, and like in France or whatnot, where the version of European MAGA, like, wrecked shit, right? So, like, in the UK, like, the liberals or the liberal equivalent is looking for, like, a blue wave. But on the continent of Europe, it's went the exact opposite direction and all this is happening at the same time. Like, what the fuck is going on over there? I don't know. You elections are like, in it.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Like, it's like, yeah. but like so labor is like they're running to the right of the Tories and a bunch of shit like immigration like they they're the UK has gotten a position where like the Tory plan to is to ship all migrants to a concentration camp and Rwanda isn't like hardcore anti-immigrant enough or something so I don't it's fucking nonsense but Nigel Farage uh you know Farage did get hit with a milkshake last week which is a tradition in British politics throwing milkshakes of politicians and I really think we need that here like it's an acknowledgement. that her politics is fucking stupid so all these dumb asses can get hit with milkshakes. And I just think we got to take it. Yeah, we only had that shoe situation with W. Bush that one time. And that's the only thing I can remember being
Starting point is 00:05:05 hurled at an American politician. So yeah, we should be hurling more shit at them, generally speaking. And, you know, milkshake, that's not a brick. You know what I mean? It's not so bad. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of how stupid our politics has gotten, have you, I wanted
Starting point is 00:05:21 to talk about the single most deranged thing I read about Trump's conviction. And he got, this is at the table here. There's a cult of baron Trump. Yeah. On the right, on the one lap, right. I mean, that don't surprise me at all just because like, I mean, I've seen plenty of posts from them over the years about like, you know, basically wanting the Trump
Starting point is 00:05:39 family to install their own monarchy or dictatorship. And, you know, I've said like, oh, I've seen the years broken down where it's like, we get Trump through this far. And then after that, we get Ivanka or whoever. And then, you know, and they've got it all figured out for like the next 50 years of Trump stuff. So I'm not surprised that some of them are hard up for Barron, too. Yeah. So let me do stuff like Photoshop him as Caesar. This is how like the right, the right loves Caesar. So by the way, Barron didn't ask for any of this. He's like a 17, 18 year
Starting point is 00:06:07 kid. He was like going off to college in the fall somewhere. And like, as far as I know, he's just a kid. I don't know anything about him. Nobody does. So, but here's a quote, here's a tweet with a, yeah. So I'm told that one day he will cross the Potomac with 10,000 men to dissolve the Senate. I'm told that he will do this. these things have become my god emperor and yours because he is six feet seven inches with an aquiline nose was that was that mean horse lake or something anyway i have no idea but they look sort of roman he got a roman he knows i guess yeah yeah yeah good looking yeah he does kind of look like that profile of him kind of looks like it should go on like an ancient roman
Starting point is 00:06:44 coin or something yeah i mean like he's got that kind of look to him uh so the the piece i read about Trump's conviction. The headline on it is young Trump just found his Batman origin story. Batman has a lot, let me quote here from it. Batman has a lot of daddy issues. His father was a good man who worked to clean up Gotham, only he had gunned down by the very people he tried to help.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Bruce Wayne dedicated his life to finishing his father's mission, albeit in an unorthodox fashion. It's such a funny way to describe that. All be it in an unorthodox fashion, meaning dressing up like a bat and beating the shit out of people. at night time. Yeah. Yeah, but that is a pretty unorthodox approach. There are a lot of similarities between Bruce and Barron. Both grew up privileges with rich and powerful fathers. They've seen what a corrupt system can do to a good man and both stood by as their fathers were
Starting point is 00:07:36 torn apart for daring to strive for better. And whether there's an armored tank that runs on jet fuel are Barron's hulking six foot seven inch stature through both absolute units. you know i mean that's a little homo erotic i feel like like you really into this teen boys physique which i guess is kind of in keeping with the roman theme they're uh they're working with here but yeah now i mean this shit is wild even for them also caesar he like he overthrew the republic right and you know became became caesar yeah to keep to keep the senate from holding him accountable for basically committing war crimes right so funny that they like, you know, openly profess their admiration for that, uh, that parallel as they see it.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Like, they really don't even try to hide any of this shit anymore. Right. But like, so like worshiping a Caesar is so funny. Like he was unpopular enough in his own time where a bunch of people stabbed him to death. It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, yeah. Anyway, uh, me quote here at this last line, Democrats have crossed the Rubicon and a young, strong and handsome American Caesar might be fully on the table. Okay, but it was Caesar that crossed the rubicon? Right. Exactly. So like, what the fuck? Who's crossing the Rubicon? who's the good guy here? I don't really know. Anyway, it's all so stupid. Let's get to it. It's also stupid. Let's get to it.

As Mark said earlier, as he alluded to on tonight's show, we're going to be talking about far and away, the most landmark set of convictions to come down in American politics in the past month. We're talking about Hunter Biden, getting convicted on three felony charges of lying on a background check for a gun that he got. So the discourse has been predictably stupid and we'll talk about it all a little later. But first, of course, we begin with the Daily Dumbass Mac graphic, please. How about that?
Starting point is 00:10:23 No fart. We heard the complaints. We got the complaint box out. We saw the complaints about the fart. But there's at least a little bit of a pro fart contingent, though. Out there is like, I don't have a voice in this. Anyway, tonight's the D.D. Oppressed people who refuse to compromise and to being even more repressed.
Starting point is 00:10:40 This is about Justice Alito's having a heck of. of a month. More controversy this morning surrounding Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his wife after they were secretly recorded at a gala dinner last week. Alito approached by Lauren Windsor, a progressive activist known for recording conservative political figures while posing as an ally. Alito asked by Windsor about a nation divided between left and right, saying, one side or the other is ways away. There can be a, uh, uh, uh, a, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, in a way of working, a way of living together peacefully, but it's difficult, you know, because there are differences on fundamental things that really can't be common on us. After Windsor said the country needs to return to a place of godliness, Alito, responding, I agree. The conversation recorded during the Supreme Court. So a new, we are a new weekly Supreme Court scandal. Actually, there are several extreme court scandals this week,
Starting point is 00:11:39 but this is the main one we're going to talk about. We'll get to it a little bit in a second. So this woman named Lauren Windsor, who's like essentially did a reverse. What was the guy on the right who was doing this and trapping people into making dumb comments on wires? The guy from Project Veritas. Yeah, Project Veritas. Yeah, that guy. James O'Keefe, James O'Keefe.
Starting point is 00:11:59 That's right. So she bought a ticket to this conservative gala last week and just walked up to Justice Alito and his wife will get to in a second and just ask them, hey, are you insane? And they're like, yes, here's ten and insane things I want to say. and like my my thing is if this is the kind of shit they're saying to strangers what the fuck are they saying in private to like trusted political allies i'm also i admire the stones on this windsor lady because uh that like i feel like in this day and age and that you know the world we live in now like repeatedly pulling that off is uh it's pretty wild it seems like it'd be easy enough to figure out especially if you're at the highest reaches of power so the fact that they don't even apparently check you just walk up and be like you know i hate trans love jesus and they're like i'll spend an hour with you. Why not? Just some random person is surprising to me. But yeah, no, I agree. Like they're, but, you know, I mean, they immediately get in that, they're in a comfort
Starting point is 00:12:51 zone feeling like they're, they don't have to sort of, you know, bullshit their way through any of these answers. So they just let her hear it. I know we're going to get to it. But like, yeah, she also interviewed his wife. And it's like, like with the Jenny Thomas, it seems that she's easily as crazy as Alito, apparently like she said some real wild shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:11 And, like, so you're talking about how they'll talk to anybody? Like, Martha Anolito, like, part of her beef is, like, feels like she's ostracized from Washington, like, so, like the social scene because of her politics. So I think they're just lonely. Like, she doesn't get invited to the cool, like, I don't know what a cool Washington, D.C. party is, like, the Raytheon Met Galler or whatever. She lost, like, her balcony seat at their opera house there or something like that. I'm literally pulling that from that show, The Golden Age, or whatever it is on, on HBO, that fancy New York. Guilded age. Guilded age.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Guilded age, yes. Literally where I got that from. I don't know what fancy people do, but yeah. So the frightening part of Lido saying, well, one side is going to win, right? It's like the kind of cases he's talking about, he's not talking about like business regulation stuff, although he is hardcore into that, against that. But like, he's talking about like, you know, minority rights. So like when you say one side's going to win and one side's going to lose, like the argument here is between like gay people saying we want to be left alone and the other. had saying, well, we don't want to leave gay people alone.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's been the whole thing the whole time. It's like, it shouldn't even be political. I've thought that since, because as I've said many times before, the first thing I ever cared about politically, like, as a, you know, a child, a teenager was gay rights because of my uncle Tim and being defensive about gay people and not liking homophobia and shit. And even then I felt like, you know, why is this a politic?
Starting point is 00:14:40 This shouldn't be a political. issue it's like just the idea of like why do you you know we ain't know your goddamn business why do you care like they're not they literally all they want is they being LGBT people is to just be treated the same as everybody else and other than that be left to live their lives but the only things they've ever fought for is just not being dehumanized and beaten and killed and all that shit and uh it seems like it's you know shouldn't be an outsized ass to me but yeah but the the right position the whole time is no we do not want to give you that right we are not okay with you literally existing publicly in this country we find that to be an affront to the values
Starting point is 00:15:23 that we hold dear and so we're going to fight right to no to stop it and they try to couch it and being pedophilia and all that crazy slope argument all that people will be banging their dogs all that shit too but that's just been rationalizing the fact that they just don't want these people around Yeah. Yeah. And so like the absolutely like we'll absolutely refuse to mind their own fucking business, right? It reminded me of this old like I went to found this old C.S. Lewis quote that I couldn't quite remember. Of all tyranny is a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims, maybe the most oppressive. We'd better to live under robber barons and under unipotent moral of busy bodies. The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep. But those who torment us for our own good will torment us without and if they do so with the approval of their own conscience. Now our problem is we get the robber barons too, right? We've got the robber barons too, right? We've got to. the robber barons and the moral busybodies teaming up so the barons rob was blind the busy bodies torturous and they're all the same point and c s louis he's a big god guy wasn't he yeah very so you know it's uh also yeah kind of indicative of how that has changed the people who hear to that that moral philosophy how the way they've uh morphed over the years
Starting point is 00:16:32 yeah uh it brings us to martha and the same uh lauren windsor the same documentary filmmaker interviewed her and got her to say some crazy shit. She was talking about how she said, let me say, you know what I want, I want a sacred heart of Jesus flag because I look across the lagoon at the pride flag for the next month. How fucking Rich not a touch you have to be
Starting point is 00:16:53 if your main complaint to be would you see when you look out over your lagoon? Yeah, but that's what I was saying. Like they take just that flag being there all the way across the damn lagoon, which like you said, I don't, I hardly ever look across Lagoon. I don't even know where this lagoon is.
Starting point is 00:17:08 I've never looked out on a lagoon in my life as far as that now. But yeah, the fact that all the way on the other side of the lagoon is a flag that you don't like. And that's like the worst problem that this lady is like that is driving this lady up the wall. Like that's the worst thing she has to deal with in her life. That and not being invited to the, you know, white lady social hour or whatever in D.C. Yeah. And she's furious, absolutely furious about all. all of it. She goes on to complain about how her husband's asked her to like pretend to be more sane to stop embarrassing him. But she talks about how she can't wait until she's, quote, free of this nonsense when she can hang up whatever flags she wants. I basically saying she wants Trump to win so Alito can retire and she can hang flags and nobody complain about him. She says, I'm going to send them a message every day. Maybe every week I'll be changed the flags. There'll be all kinds. I made a flag in my head. This is how I satisfy myself. I made a flag. It's white and has yellow and orange flames around it. And the middle word is,
Starting point is 00:18:06 is Virgonia. Vergonia in Italian means shame. She spells it out, shame, shame, shame on you. She wants to make a shame flag in response to the pride flag. It's kind of funny that, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:18:17 to fly a shame flag, like, you know, in your own yard or everything. I feel like you can very easily interpret that as like, you know, that you are, this is a house of shame. Like,
Starting point is 00:18:28 you don't mean, like if you don't put on you after shame, if you just put a word that means shame and like a banner above your own house that says shame, it seems like a scarlet letter or something. I don't know. But, yeah, this, again, her, she's got like a,
Starting point is 00:18:41 she's on like a flag crusade in her head because people had the audacity to question her flag choices. So now she's, like, making a whole, like, flag agenda. She's, like, fantasizing about all the different kinds of flags. She's going to fly to own the libs and all this stuff. And it's just, I just cannot imagine living my life like this, especially if I was this rich and everything. and, you know, just fucking, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:19:08 crochet or something like that. Right. Go out on the lagoon. Do lagoon shit, you know. Hanging out with your fucking grandkids? Yeah, yeah, that's a good one, you would think. Too busy flagging. Also, just to remind everybody, last year,
Starting point is 00:19:25 the Supreme Court's conservative super majority, which Alito is a part of, rule the businesses are allowed to legally discriminate against gay customers. So, which I'm sure is based upon sound legal reasoning and not just his fucking insane prejudices. And another part, like, she's talking about spelling shame out in an Italian. Alito's Italian, obviously, but she's not for reasons we know for sure in a second.
Starting point is 00:19:46 So, like, what is her, besides being married to an Italian, does she just like it because of the birthplace of fascism? Because she goes on and she talks about the justice, justice's wife gets quiet, quieter, and her tone turns more serious. Quote, look at me, look at me, I'm German. I'm from Germany. My heritage is German. You can come after me.
Starting point is 00:20:03 you come after me, I'm going to give it back to you. Well, that's debatable, that last part, I feel like, I feel like Germany was given more than they could give back at least a couple of times that I can recall. You know what I mean? It's not like, not like that was proven to be a fatal mistake going
Starting point is 00:20:19 after the Germans. Oh, I saw this. Let me find this really made me laugh earlier. It was a quote from 1940 when after America declared a war, sorry, before we declared war, we were doing the military buildup for war. two. Congress just voted for $1.5 billion budget increase for the Navy. And Hitler was told
Starting point is 00:20:40 about that. He joked, what is America but beauty queen's stupid records in Hollywood? So get fucked, Hitler. Yeah. So, yeah, like, so there's also another, like, so they had to finally file their financial disclosures. Here's a biweekly Supreme Court scandal. Clarence Thomas finally got around to actually declaring all of it and was $4 million in vacations and gifts that he's been given. Like over the course of his tenure or what? Like, what's the time frame? Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:11 I didn't see a time frame. Whenever they're required a report. And so, so the justice is, all nine justice has combined declared 6.5 million in gifts, which should be a scandal for pretty much every single one of them, although the liberals got way less. But so Thomas got four million of the six and a half million of nine people. He's got, they got to get mad at him, man. He's taking a bigger cut than he deserves.
Starting point is 00:21:33 but the conservative media Fox News went all in on pointing out the fact that Kanaghi Brown Jackson was gifted $3,700 in Beyonce tickets from Beyonce and maybe she shouldn't have done that but as far as I know Beyonce does not have a case before the Supreme Court she just gave it to her as like I don't know the first black woman Supreme Court justice or something so I don't know but like it's like this is all very deeply fucked up and we're at the buckle up for a rough next few weeks because the Supreme Court turns about to come to an end
Starting point is 00:22:07 and they have a lot of backlog of cases they have yet to announce they seem like they're going to save some of their most controversial cases for the end of the term. They're just going to like dump on the last friday. That's what I was going to ask is yeah, is that the strategy? It's like you kind of just like overload us with shit that's going to piss people off. So it's hard to get pissed off adequately. And each of them in turn. You know what I mean? Like that's what they're doing. Yeah. It's their cases about abortion, guns, homelessness, union, social
Starting point is 00:22:31 media, online disinformation, pollution, the administrative state, and, of course, January 6th prosecutions. And part of the reasons is a huge log time is because there's been a big change, the way Supreme Court takes cases. A lot of their cases used to be about obscure points of law. They just need to reconcile the regulations and whatnot. They've stopped doing actual judge work. Now they just take the most controversial cases because they want to do culture war bullshit. So then what happens is the opinions take longer to write because they get passed around longer
Starting point is 00:22:59 for edits. and there are people write scaling dissents and then you have to write responses to dissents and just everything, like, there's another example of how like cultural bullshit just makes everything worse and not work. But yeah, so I'm sure we'll have more to talk about
Starting point is 00:23:12 when a Supreme Court term comes to an end because it's going to be awful. It'll be fun and positive and optimistic in nature too. One thing I did want to say, and I'm not trying to give the dude too much credit, but I was just like, I mean, that St. Windsor, that undercover activists or journalists,
Starting point is 00:23:28 whatever her appropriate title is, that interviews these people. Also interviewed John Roberts, Chief Justice, and she tried the same thing on him. She tried to give, she tried to like, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:40 we live in a Christian nation and it's up to the Supreme Court to ensure that it remains appropriately Christian. And he actually, like, I guess he's just smarter. Like you were saying, like this is what Alito will say to just a stranger.
Starting point is 00:23:51 It seems like maybe Roberts is a little bit smarter than that or something because he had the, he at least had enough, you know, sense or shame or whatever the right word is to push, When she said that, he was like, no, we're not a Christian nation. We're a Muslim and Jewish and whatever other nation. And also, that's not the Supreme Court's job.
Starting point is 00:24:08 So, I don't know. There's that. Yeah. There's a certain, you know, it's better than the alternative, I guess. But I'd still rather him, I'd still rather John Roberts not exist. No way. Yeah, right. Yeah, no, me too.
Starting point is 00:24:22 All right. Our first honorable mention for Daily Dumbass is the public for thinking they have a right to know anything about the poor downtrodden friends of one Jeffrey Epstein. would you declassify the 9-11 files yeah would you declassified jfk files yeah i did i did a lot of it would would you declassify the epstein files yeah yeah i would i guess i would i think that less so because you know you don't want to affect people's lives if it's phony stuff in there because it's a lot of phony stuff with that whole world like okay why what other reason would there me to say that to answer that question in that fashion like to basically put it out there it's like you know because a lot of that could be bullshit and it might make people look bad if you don't
Starting point is 00:25:06 know that you're going to be part of the of the disclosures or whatever you know what about like you're trying to like prime the pump for you know people not leaving it when it comes out just to not let the JFK stuff go by one reason of them there's no deep state or they're like their their other muscles of atrophy it is like Trump is threatening to release facts by the JFKS-Ass Nation. He's still walking around upright. Right. So Trump had a couple of stupid rallies over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:25:38 He went on an extended rant about the merits of being eaten by a shark versus being electrocuted. It was just too dumb to even bother. He's done the electric boat motorist, we'll electrocute you think before. I just didn't want to do a repeat. Marjor Taylor Green gave a talk where she said, here's the exact quote. If you think gas prices are high now, wait until you're forced to buy an electric vehicle. What? How is that?
Starting point is 00:26:07 But those don't take gas. And then if you force to have an electric vehicle, but gas gets more expensive, you're not going to give a shit on account of you got an electric vehicle. I mean, I guess, damn, this lawnmower is going to bleed me dry. I don't know. But, yeah, I don't know, she's something else. it's also like Trump's one of the biggest liars on the planet but when he really hits for me is when he's honest like I play this video Matt
Starting point is 00:26:31 you can see what I'm talking about Yeah this is from like Phoenix or somewhere hot This is Vegas By the way isn't that breeze nice Do you feel the breeze? Because I don't want anybody going on me We need every voter I don't care about you I just want your vote
Starting point is 00:26:45 I don't care See now the press will tell you So So The Biden campaign immediately turned that into an ad of course But as it was referred to as like, so that was the second rally in Vegas. The first was in Phoenix where a bunch of people got heat struck and were hospitalized. It was 11 in Phoenix and like a half dozen in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:27:06 And like the reason they're outside is because no one will rent Trump venues anymore because he doesn't pay them. All right. So just imagine dying of heat stroke because no venue owner with an air conditioning room anywhere in a hemisphere will rent to like this dead fucking deadbeat. It's just like so goddamn funny to me. Um, yeah, I, it's, I, like, his rallies, I don't have you seen, like, he's using smaller venues. Um, he can't afford them. Like, the grounds are dwindling. People, yeah, people have, people have seen aerial shots from them and stuff where it's like, yeah, it seems like he's maybe losing a little bit of stame. Um, so. Or they just, he gives the same speech over and over again. The people, one guy there had been 250 of his rallies. I'm like, bro, you've heard the same speech 250 times. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, yeah, it's like if I did, if I'd been doing the exact same hour since I start. in 2016 or something you know what I mean I wouldn't blame me for not coming anymore you saw it you saw the show so yeah it's the same show every time although he does
Starting point is 00:28:02 you never know when he's going to go on some you know truly unhinged shit that still actually hits for them but I say we can make this quick if you want but I this lady is fascinating to me kind of so I sort of want to show it but I want to save her for next episode because she's worth talking about in detail because she's hilarious okay all right and then yeah we can save her sorry guys you have to tune in next week if you want to say that so the hunter stuff is extremely stupid and like it's a bunch of people make
Starting point is 00:28:30 including the justice to make a big deal out of a crackhead uh lying about not being a crackhead on a federal form whatever we'll get to that in a second but like everybody's going to make a big deal about it I guess we should like talk about it but go ahead talk through what we think about it because like there are more reporters covering this than like like it was a madhouse I think maybe more than we're covering Trump's trial and I watched an explainer like on uh uh if we're NBC news about how they covered it, all right? And they had a team of four people, and they broke down their system for getting the news out as quickly as possible because it was on the third floor of the federal courthouse.
Starting point is 00:29:03 So what they had was they had a runner in the courtroom who ran to the window and told him the verdict. And another guy had signs with each the guilty or not guilty verdicts for each of the three charges. They held up in the window. And the woman down at the ground level on a phone was watching with binoculars where she was relaying the verdict newsrooms around the country. And I'm like, you guys are covering that's like a good JFK assassination? Like, would my life be improved or ruined, affected it all
Starting point is 00:29:34 by weighing three minutes longer to find about the Hunter Biden verdict? Right. I mean, it's been, it's been asinine, you know, the amount of attention and scrutiny and everything he's gotten from the very beginning, you know what I mean? Like the the sheer amount that all of us have had to hear about the varied exploits, exploits of Hunter Biden over the the past how many years has always been kind of absurd. And then now that he's, you know, I mean, he was actually on trial and then got convicted, I'm not surprised that it was a circus. And also that thing you're talking about specifically, like the idea that we,
Starting point is 00:30:06 no one could stand to wait, like that you got to be, you got to get the scoop. You got to be first. You got to be immediate. You got to be the first one on. It's like a larger thing, which is journalism in general. I was reading this like thing about sports journalism earlier, how it's like, it's like, would it really make a difference? If, you know, we had to, we just had to wait to the official announcement two hours later to know who got traded where.
Starting point is 00:30:29 But there's just like war of insiders where, you know, where they have all these like drama amongst themselves and stuff trying to get the, because everybody's got to be first just in media in general. You just, you got to do shit like this because that's just, but it is dumb. It's all dumb and pointless. But it's also, it's arguably dirtier in sports because they all work, either. work for sports books or a bit or for companies are in beds with sports books so they're swaying odds by leaking stuff that turns out to be fake first right so it's like it's weird um we don't have to get into a whole uh woes versus shams thing but yeah it's it's an extremely funny thing in sports media um so but like some of the criminal justice system in general wanted to mention
Starting point is 00:31:12 what what happened yesterday in the young thug trial and when trump was indicted in alana i was like okay he obviously hasn't fucked up shit there but um Fannie Fonnie Willis does not hit for me in general because she does shit like try to lock up rappers for their lyrics. And that's kind of what this case is about. So what happened yesterday was, what Young Dogg's lawyer was like, hey, judge,
Starting point is 00:31:35 I heard you had an ex parte meeting me and you met without me with the prosecutor, which is against the rules. And you guys were also meeting with a witness. The prosecutor's trying to pressure to testify against my client. And you were also helping him pressure the witness by threatening to be held in jail to all 26 defendants were tried, which we'd take years, and that's not cool. And the judge's response wasn't to deny it. It was just to say, who told you that?
Starting point is 00:32:01 And then he held the defense lawyer in contempt. He got 20 days in jail for not snitching on who told him the truth. And this lawyer ruled, by the way, because he went to jail for his client, also his wife's representing him. And I've got to say, find yourself a spouse will file a criminal appeal for you after you sent to jail with your client. That's kind of rat or down you fucking eat. No, yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:32:22 He definitely seems legit in that way, because didn't he also, like, request to be put in the same sale with Young Thugs? So Young Thugs, like in, he's not out on bail or something? No, it's be hell without bail. What for, I mean, that's... They're trying to say he's, yeah,
Starting point is 00:32:39 he's trying to say he's a gang leader because he rapped about a murder and that a murder happened or something. It's all, it's fucking stupid. I think there was a car, like, maybe one of his cars was using a crime or something. But anyway... But this judge, like,
Starting point is 00:32:51 If those things, you know, I'm law dumb, but I mean, I can see how even to me, a law dumb person, that sounds like bullshit what, you know, that judge tacitly admitting to doing. But if that's like, like explicitly against the rules and the whole world knows that this happened and then he put the guy in jail for it, like, and I know this is sort of the whole point here, but like what recourse is there for that or like, you know, consequences for that, you know what I mean? Because it's like they just operate with impunity, you know, across the board and know. that there's nothing that anyone else can or at least will do about it. And that's, you know, it's upsetting. Been a lot of talk in recent weeks about how the justice system is rigged or whatever. And it's like
Starting point is 00:33:30 in a lot of ways and against a lot of people, it, I mean, it is. But not, not in Donald Trump's scenario and not in the way the people who are saying that, the way that they meant. Not like that. Right. So the only reason I'll bread this up is we're going to point out once again that if a prosecutor
Starting point is 00:33:47 decides to try to put you in jail, he's probably going to succeed at some level, even if you fight getting an appeal over some bullshit years from now, right? So it brings us to Hunter, all right? So he was convicted today on three felony charges related to the purchase of one 38 revolver in 2018 when he was addicted to crack cocaine and the form says, are you a drug addict? Yes or no? And he essentially checked no on the form. I don't know how they turned out of three felonies. I think it's like buying the gun, possessing the gun, something else, whatever. By the way, he had the gun for 11 days. He supposedly he never fired it, and he threw it in the trash, which is some crackhead behavior.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Yes, for sure. And so he faces 25 years in prison for this, possibly. He won't get that. I seriously doubt. But the fact that you face jail time at all, or this is a bit of lunacy. And CNN interviewed a couple of the jurors. And they say, here's me cool here, three jurors who spoke to CNN after they reached a guilty verdict, said they believe they had no choice but to 500 Biden guilty because he
Starting point is 00:34:48 was technically guilty of the things he was charged with, but said, they questioned whether the criminal case ever should have been brought against the president's sign. The case, quote, seemed like a waste of taxpayer dollars, end quote, one juror told CNN. Right. I don't, I mean, so basically anybody who, anyone who, you know, smokes weed regularly and then buys a gun, like they violate this, right? Because if you didn't lie about it, you couldn't get the gun, at least. Right. So, and the whole line on a background check thing, just an anecdotal, and I'm sure it just
Starting point is 00:35:20 not here for this guy if he and I'm sure he would deny it but I don't even know his name but I had to get I got a top secret security clearance from all job as a DOE so I had to go through a thorough government background check and the guy the agent who was in charge of my background check this subject kind of came up because I didn't like I put on there that I had you know smoked weed in college and I had done drugs before whatever which opened me up to a whole other level of like scrutiny and investigation you know and drug tests I had to go through a bunch of shit that you don't have to go through if you have to have to have to have to have to have to. haven't done drugs before and the dude the agent in charge of it you know the representative of the government who does this for a living like he literally in the one-on-one interview with me he goes he goes he goes dude why did you not just lie about that he was like literally what he said he was like he was like everyone lies about that he was like just he's like next time your scenario like this just lie about that like he literally advised me to lie and was like disappointed in me for having not lied because you could tell you know because he it made him have to do more work too, and that don't hear for people. But I just, anyway, that's a little personal anecdote
Starting point is 00:36:24 that's relevant to the topic here. What are my best friends from high school, went to the Virginia Military Military Institute for college and ended up working in being in the Air Force and being in intelligence. And he put me down as a character reference for his background check. And he called me and was like, hey, they know everything. I had to take a lie detector. Do not lie. They don't, they don't care what I did. They just don't want me to be able to be blackmailed over it. So I'm like, I'm supposed to say that we got high and you egged our Spanish teacher's house. And it's like, yeah. I was supposed to, I was supposed to say, they asked me if you shoplifted cartons of cigarettes from the grocery store we worked out.
Starting point is 00:36:58 So you could sell them at school. I'm supposed to say, yeah. He's like, yeah, okay, cool. So. That whole part of it was while I felt so weird about that the whole time, too, because, like, you know, my, like, salina buddies, you know, my redneck dudes from fucking Clay County getting that caught, being, like, interrogated about me. Like, they were, you know, they didn't know what the fuck to think. like they were it was just the whole thing wow but anyway the guy also told me he was like we almost never deny anybody anyway he was like he's like you guys had to do more bunch of bullshit because
Starting point is 00:37:27 of you you know telling the truth but even if he's like it almost doesn't matter he's like hardly anyone ever fails i'm like all right you had a you had a cue level security clearance right yeah yeah which is the whole reason people think cue of famous qanon lore knows all these secrets It's about deep state pedophiles because he has a Q-level clearance, which is handed out to random people at the Department of Energy. It's like one of the real reasons I'm really like, in our modern media environment is like I'm really interested in how things actually work in real life. It's because once you let go of that, you sound like a babbling lunatic.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Like, for example, here's Judge Janine on Fox News talking about the beginning of the Hunter Biden trial if you have it. I do. And make no mistake, juries do it all the time. And jury nullification means, okay, you know, they prove the case, but we don't want to find this guy guilty. So they'll vote not guilty. And, you know, I was counting when you were making comments. I think it was one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight jurors who have someone in their family who's had a drug or alcohol addiction problem. I have aided.
Starting point is 00:38:39 No shit. Like, it's supposed to be a jury of your peers, right? Like, you'd think so. like the idea that the eight out of 12 people have some also like who does maybe it's maybe i'm showing my white trash background here but like who the fuck don't have someone you know in their family or close to the close associates or friends or whatever who have struggled with addiction and shit it's it's almost like it's a yeah major and very prevalent problem in this country so i don't know what that's even supposed to mean they also didn't say what substances you're telling me two-thirds of any random
Starting point is 00:39:08 pool of americans has someone their family who had a hard time quitting smoking or had a drinking it's like yeah fucking shit right um so like yeah so whatever i think so the seeing nefariousness and that is one aspect of this but you can let it let it play about alcohol or addiction so they have picked a jury that is sympathetic and understands the consequences of this kind of thing but in addition to that you know you've got jill biden at the trial but she wasn't just at the trial she was at the selection of the jury and i kind i can't help with think that she was was there trying to send a message. I'm here. She's got her arms around the family members there. You know, we're the Bidens. This is Delaware. So on the one hand, you got to, just every bit of
Starting point is 00:39:54 that, everything, every word of that little piece she just said, was like Jill Biden was there, not just at one part, but at the other part. And it's like she was trying to send a message. And the message is, I'm here. She's got her arms around everybody. We're a family. We're the Bidens. It's like, yeah, I think that was, that is the message. You know what? I mean, she's a mother, and the message is we're a family and I'm supporting you. And I'm like, right. And so I think that's the message, but that's not what this lady means. She means a very different message.
Starting point is 00:40:24 I've never heard of anybody saying that Biden's run Delaware like a mafia family, but also the idea of being intimidated by Jill Biden is so fucking funny to me. So Hunter's been the center of this, like, right-wing bullshit campaign for so many years now that it's like easy to forget. That's what jump started all this. And they're doing it for the same reason they had a series of Benghazi hearings where they made Hillary sit through just because they think generating a bunch of bullshit. They know what great headlines will somehow damage their opponent's political standing, whether or not it has any sort of merit to it or whatever anywhere. Anyways, that's how you ended up the target of this federal probe. And it was launched. Well, they complained about the politicization of the DOJ, as I want to point out, this investigation was launched under a Trump appointed FBI director and a Trump appointed attorney general.
Starting point is 00:41:09 and hell my David Weiss and Trump appointed U.S. attorney who talking about the difference when the two parties operate you know, Biden comes against the point all of his U.S. attorneys, right? So Merrick Garland's workaround was to make David Weiss a special counsel
Starting point is 00:41:22 so you could have a full-time job throwing the book at Hunter Biden for some paperwork bullshit because of a drug problem he beat five years ago. And we don't need to show this next video but Trump went on TV and pressure the night
Starting point is 00:41:39 United States Attorney General to prosecute Hunter Biden just 14 days before the election in 2020. And also a reminder that Hunter had a plea deal in place for these charges. They were going to throw the gun charges out, but get him on the tax crimes, which also are normally prosecuted. And it was thrown out after Republicans had a bunch of hearings that he yelled at the U.S. attorney and when he was bullied about House Republicans. And then the Trump appointed judge rejected the deal. Now, the judge had a legitimate gripes because the way the deal was structured.
Starting point is 00:42:09 It was, like, kind of unconstitutional because she was going to have to be the person in charge of, like, handling his, like, probation. They were trying to structure it that way. So if Trump won re-election, he used DOJ, would be able to just unilaterally throw Hunter Biden in prison. But that's not the judge's problem. That's Hunter's problem and the problem for American democracy. But, like, so she had a legitimate complaint. But anyway, so Trey Cowdy, we almost showed this video last week, I called off, but like, Trey Gowdy, former Republican congressman, who now hosts a show on Fox News. used to be a federal prosecutor and had this to say, which is verified by everyone and about how this case is that are bullshit.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Your thought it's about the difference between Trump trying to get a fair trial in New York City and Biden's trying to get a fair trial in Delaware. Well, you know, Dana, I have this really bad habit, although I'm working on it. I try to be fair. I know there's a very small constituency for that. I think if it had been Donald Jones or Donald Trump or Donald Thomas, we would. not have been in New York for the past several weeks. I think if this were Hunter Jones or Hunter Smith, you and I would be talking about something else this morning. So we got to get beyond treating people differently based on their political status or what their last name is. I did gun prosecutions for six years. I went after convicted felons. I went after people who were fugitives from justice. I went after lots of different people who are prohibited from
Starting point is 00:43:37 possessing a firearm. But I'll bet you there weren't 10 cases prosecuted nationwide of addicts or unlawful drug users who possess firearms or allowed on applications. I bet there weren't a dozen, which makes you wonder of all the... You got it, man. So what he's saying that is backed up. I did a little bit of research. And basically, when people are charged with this crime, it's usually because they're guilty of some other, some other awful conduct that the government I can't get them on until they have them for that. Because that's how they do. That's how they operate a lot of time.
Starting point is 00:44:10 You lump in charges together that you can, you know, when some, you want to get somebody and you use whatever you can to, you know, to, to nail them with it. So, yes, mostly other times that these particular charges ever get brought up. There's some other larger context that's pretty important, which I mean is also true here. The context is that he's Joe Biden's son and all that.
Starting point is 00:44:30 But like legal context, I mean. Yeah. So the other cases were like, yeah, that they had to break up. up organized white supremacist gangs they uh you know they uh got people on this charge there's also like a mom who of a six-year-old boy who shot his teacher who pled guilty to this charge for basically buying a gun while she was on while she was on weed because the government wanted to punish her for her kids shooting a teacher couldn't punish the kid so that's what they did
Starting point is 00:44:54 your mileage may vary or whether that's a good idea or not but the fact was she there was some other shit going on there besides just she bought a gun and also it smoked weed um there's also like a part of this might be unconstitutional, according to our conservative court system, because a federal appeals court ruled last June, the government cannot ban those convicted of nonviolent crimes from possessing a weapon, and a federal court in Texas recently ruled following a major Supreme Court case last year that expanded gun rights, said the ban on drug users possessing firearms violates the Second Amendment. So, again, Merrick Garland had to step in to keep this case going.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Joe Biden's response to this has been to be like, we will respect. jury system and the role of the you know the respect the the the the verdict yada yada the normally the normie institutional thing to say which may not be the right thing to say it's not totally accurate which is why we hear said calling bullshit and all this but like so trump could have saved hunter Biden a few different points here if he had been corrupt or not been worried about looking corrupt right i think he said trump you mean joe oh it's a Biden yeah yeah yeah sorry yeah so so so so so he did this to as an to show respect for the system,
Starting point is 00:46:08 to let his own son get run up. I'm saying you threw him under a bus, but let him get hit by a bus because of consequences of his own choices, right? And what did he get for it? Here's Trump's press secretary, Caroline Levitt, on Fox News. Many on the left, they're now saying
Starting point is 00:46:21 that the verdict is proof. President Joe Biden has not weaponized the Justice Department against his enemies. On the other hand, Republicans, they strongly disagree, saying this case is misdirection to avoid going after hunting for more serious charges
Starting point is 00:46:34 of being an unregistered for an agent. What do you think about that? Well, I agree that this entire trial has been a major distraction from the real crimes of the corrupt Biden crime family. Right. They charge 100 crimes to distract you from Hunter Biden's crimes. Right. I mean, look, you can never win with these people. It doesn't matter. We all knew no matter what the outcome was, they'd find some way to, you know, mentally gymnast themselves into making it not hit for Biden or making him corrupt and it's a conspiracy and all that shit, literally no matter what happens. Having said that, like, I don't know, you tell me why I'm wrong. I kind of feel like Biden and the Biden administration, I sort of feel like they almost had no choice but to play it the way they played it in terms of, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:23 in terms of being like, you know, we, like you said, we believe in the American justice system and we will let it play out and we will not get involved just because he's our family member and I'm the president that doesn't make us any difference. So we will respect the jury's verdict because this is America and that's how it works. And no, I will not harden him either. Like, I don't, I mean, I would have been shocked if he had done anything else. And I feel like, you know, I don't think anyone would advise him to do so had he's like stepped in and like, over. saved him or whatever they'd be truly apoplectic anyway but they that's their standard state of being is apoplectic but they don't have they have even less of a leg to stand on than they normally do right because of that part this is deeply funny that he was like
Starting point is 00:48:12 the only reason he got in trouble is because he was trying it was a crackhead trying to buy a legal gun right if he just bought an illegal gun crack he wouldn't have broken the law if he just like went to a pawn shop fucking bought a gun it would have been a cake it's all this is all like so ridiculous but like so yeah I know what you're saying
Starting point is 00:48:31 I don't know what the right solution is morally legally or politically but like the idea that the right thing here is letting your son get railroaded and if it gets 25 years that's fucking odd
Starting point is 00:48:43 surely to God that's not going to happen right like I mean it's just like with Trump there was a much you know everybody's oh it could theoretically be this but it won't be but surely that's the case here, too, right? I would assume not.
Starting point is 00:48:55 He's like a first-time offender. Yeah, he should, I mean, he could even get like probation, right? Or like whatever, that's a few, I don't know, a small sentence you could serve on the weekends plus probation or some shit like that. It's like what should ostensibly happen, right? If they sentence him to 25 years, I mean, yeah, that's,
Starting point is 00:49:15 then I will kind of care. But I feel like I would care if I heard that happen to anybody. You know what I mean? Like, it wouldn't be a story if it happened to just a regular person, but if I heard that that happened to a regular person, I'd be pissed off about that too. Right. But what is like,
Starting point is 00:49:29 this goes back to the core idea, like where we don't even know what the criminal justice system is for anymore, right? If like, does, it is Hunter Biden a danger of society? Because he doesn't own the gun anymore. He's not addicted to crack anymore, right?
Starting point is 00:49:40 Right. Is it like, do conservatives actually think that everyone should own a gun? Because that's, they don't seem to believe that in any other context. Again, conservative justices are saying that wife beaters should, like,
Starting point is 00:49:50 you can't take away like a domestic abuser's gun because that's a violation of the second amendment principles. Now that can you take away a drug addict's weapon because that's a violation of the Second Amendment. So like whose justice is being served at all here? And again, I don't care about Hunter. It's just like I wish people thought about what the point of any of this was for waste of millions of dollars trying a guy for lying on a forum about a gun he owned for they never fired for 11 days in 2018. It's like it's all, this is all such a fucking stupid waste of time. But yeah, so I'm like that Caroline Levitt lady was not the only one.
Starting point is 00:50:20 everyone in Maga World and conservative punitry lean into the idea that the Biden administration convicted Hunter Biden of this crime as a ruse to make Trump's conviction look more fair and also to distract from Joe Biden be involved in whatever Burisma was doing in Ukraine or whatever. I mean, quote here, the true crimes of the Biden crime family remain untouched. That's what Charlie Kirk said on Twitter. This is a fake trial trying to make the justice system appear balanced. Don't fall for it.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Now, if you're a hunter and you're facing serious jail time, you're like, what's the ruse here? Here's Stephen Miller Trump's former White House goon. DOJ is Joe's election protection racket. The gun charges are a giant misdirection. An easy offer for DOJ to sell to a client media that's too willing to be duped. Don't be gaslit. This is all by protecting Joe Biden and only Joe Biden. Yada yada.
Starting point is 00:51:18 A bunch of people saying similar shit. again, they've had a bunch of congressional hearings about the other, there are other theories about Biden criminality. I haven't found shit. So I'm not sure what they wanted to be charged with. But anyway, it doesn't like, I mean,
Starting point is 00:51:30 isn't that all, like, the real reason that any of this even just happened is because, like, they were so desperate to find something to charge any of them with the whole time anyway that it's like they had to have something. They got this and it was like, well,
Starting point is 00:51:43 that's something. That's the only reason it's happening. And then for those people to turn around and act like, that Joe Biden's like, I don't know, sacrificing his own son to... Right. Then everybody was comfortable with the pleadio here
Starting point is 00:51:56 until Republican congressmen bullied them into, broiled everybody and they go into trial. Right. So like, they threw them this piece of red meat and they don't like it or something. I know. That's what I was saying while watching this. It's like they, like none of this would have happened if not for y'all.
Starting point is 00:52:12 This is what y'all like wanted, but now that it's happened, you're calling this bullshit too and say not to fuck. And it's just, I don't know. it seems exhausting to I'm glad we do I'm glad we talk out of our ass from this perspective because it seems much more difficult
Starting point is 00:52:28 to do it from the other perspective I mean you know on the other hand the dumbest people on earth can do it but I'm saying you know having to find ways to stay mad and move the goalpost as much as they do like it feels like it would be exhausting yeah so Trump appointed a bunch of people to prosecute
Starting point is 00:52:47 his political enemies or their children which is what happened. Joe Biden didn't stop it because they didn't want to appear corrupt. So what we got was actual corruption instead of the appearance of it. And I do, this is a connect in a second. But so Joni Ernst, evil, awful senator from Iowa, went on TV the other day. And I was talking about Bo Biden, Joe's other son who died of brain cancer, right? And she was talking about how when Biden consoles Gold Star families, he tells them he's also lost his son.
Starting point is 00:53:19 to war, all right? And she was talking about how that's a lie. Now, it's the burn pits or that type of thing, right? Right. He got, like, I don't know if it's provable or falsifiable, but like the Biden suspect that Bo got brain cancer from serving overseas in a war zone
Starting point is 00:53:35 where they burn jet fuel and car batteries and pits to get rid of their trash, all right? A lot of people, the Congress has passed bills about it. This is a well-documented phenomenon that where we put our troops through fucking hell in the name of wars that didn't need to be fault, all right? So, uh that's what he's talking about and it strikes to me that like i'd always say on this show
Starting point is 00:53:57 like that american exceptional is a hell of a drug and joe biden has served up one of his son's lives the american war machine and another one to be to maybe turned into hamburger by the american criminal justice system in the name of love of this all this fucking bullshit this country does and it's just like it's it's such a ridiculous nightmare and i don't know why anybody would want to do any of it. But like while Biden's on his doing his solemn, we need to respect this horseshit verdict routine. Here's Sean Hannity over in the upside down for making a case, I'll have to explain to you because it's too stupid. And earlier tonight, this is huge. Judge Mershaw from the Trump trial sent a letter to lawyers on both sides in that in that case,
Starting point is 00:54:41 letting them know that before the verdict was announced, a Facebook user, believe the day before the verdict, left a comment. on one of the state court systems post writing, quote, my cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted. Okay, was the fix-in from the beginning? Is this cause for a mistrial?
Starting point is 00:55:04 Him with a straight face being like a Facebook user in a comment. And then that leads to this whole thing should be thrown out immediately because some random person on Facebook claimed have advanced knowledge of the verdict. I mean, is there any is that person, has it been looked into, that person is, uh, okay.
Starting point is 00:55:23 It's a, it's a, it's a maga lunatic, self-profess maga lunatic who has, quote, professional shit poster in his bio. Yeah. I suspect it as much. Right. So, on Fox News, though. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:55:35 So Joe Biden's like, yes, my son can go to federal prison over checking the wrong box in the form. And they're over there being like, Trump should be set free because a guy on Facebook said the jury trial was fixed. And that's the two levels of reality we were working out here. And then the judge was doing his due diligence saying, yeah, we're looking into this comment. And then, of course, then it's going to come up it because, again, some fucking dumbass on the internet. If you had to sum up the Republican Party in 2024 in like a log line, it would be like, well, some dumbass guy on the internet said.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Yeah. And now they're all mad. Right. Yes. I was actually going to say that when you said it a minute ago and I was going to point out, like, dude, that's like their thesis statement or whatever. It's like, but, you know, this, this. But some guy on Facebook said this. And so now, you know, we're launching another crusade or whatever.
Starting point is 00:56:23 That's like they're, yeah, that's the whole thing. It kind of sums it up. Matt, if you've got a couple of comments for us, whatever, you can throw them up there. Like and subscribe. Look at that. You remembered. I did not. Yes, smash that like button, y'all.

Welcome to the future, baby. What a time to be alive. Speaking of which, it seems Matt may have perished behind the scenes. I'm not entirely sure. He's frantically searching for a comment that's somewhat usable.

I listen to the national is what I do on my depressing days. dude so the testimony during the hunter the hunter trial was so funny because he sounds like the world's most charming guy I guess people would like yeah he wake up a first day in the morning first thing in the morning and smoke crack but also he'd play me nicely played me songs from the fleet foxes on his phone a lumpy horse the hit in this type of horse I suppose on youtube says in all seriousness can we pour more money into public education and fighting this information that's where the war is happening yeah and they're actively trying to like abolish public education as a as a concept so yeah you're definitely there the amount of the amount of people who don't have like eighth grade civics knowledge is like about what like the president can and can't do is like I feel like that's a person's right about the deep the ultimate source of like all
