Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews 7/05/22 – Same Sh*t, Every Day

Episode Date: July 6, 2022

Tonight we’ll cover the awful shooting yesterday, the terrible explanations being offered for it, and the ludicrous notion that no one could have predicted it. We will also have some dumbassery. Join us.Support the show

What's up everybody? Welcome back and happy skews day to you. It is July 5th, 2022. I'm Trey Crowder, and that's Mark Audey. What's up, Mark? What's up, Trey? Do you have a good Fourth of July? Did you family do anything? So, you know, I need a good shot at, thank God. Yeah, right. Yeah, we'll definitely get into that. But I don't know. We just, you know, me and the boys got in the old trash pool back here. I got an above ground pool. We got in there and did some stuff. And I, uh, I made burgers, but I'm like, I'm currently trying to, like, take a real swing at this last, like, 15 pounds that I'd like to lose. So I'm like, and Katie's also on a diet.

So I was like, we can make burgers, but I'll make, like, turkey burgers, you know. And I was like, I, you know, I hit. I can make turkey burgers be good. and I did my very best, and I got like those sandwich thins, not full-on buns. I didn't put cheese on it. I got some really high-quality Dijon mustard. I skipped on the mayo. Huge for me, huge decision to do that.

And like fresh chopped tomatoes and red onion and all this stuff just really did my very best. And I got to tell you, wasn't that good. It was not, wasn't near as good as an actual cheeseburger, which I make all the time. but, you know, still got my America on as much as possible. I used to be really patriotic in an almost, like, spiteful way because it was like I was annoyed. It was a pet peeve of mine that, like, conservatives always seem to think that, like, they, like, co-opted patriotism, you know? And so I would make it a point to wear, like, a lot of flags and shit. And I still did yesterday.

I've got a flag that's a bald, or I got a shirt that's a bald eagle made out of an American flag, you know, pretty sweet. So I wore that to target and whatnot But like it's just harder And you know Even like the shooting yesterday aside Which we're going to talk about But I just mean just with the way sort of America is right now I have to admit it's kind of hard to

To get up for her birthday The way that I used to I don't know how you feel about it Yeah My wife felt similarly I'll get to that a second But I'd get by the right co-option patriot doesn't like That always drives me crazy Because I can serve myself extremely patriotic

Because I think America could be very very awesome right like if we just lived up to the stuff we say we want to do and then the right wing is like nope America's perfect the way it is shitty right and if you and if you say that it should be better than you're you know a non-patriotic leftist you know comedy or whatever but what's weird about that is that they're the make America great again people which implies that it's not great so it's like they're saying the same thing but yeah but of course the way we want it to be better in their eyes would actually make it much worse, which is why we are terrible patriots

and they are freedom flyers. Yeah. Early yesterday, my wife was like, I'm not celebrating to lot for it this year. Fuck, fuck that. And it was funny to me because it's like, it's a day off from work and you're like, well, I'm not going to go to the pool or eat good food

because that'll show them. But then like the Supreme Court, be like, hey, guys, huddle up. Aaron's mad at us. We got to get to. Right. So we ended up. you know having some drinks by the pool

buddy drew and his wife came over hung out for a little bit that was a good time um there was a some cool before some fun things before we get to the dystopia um he'd following this

uh the fun this fun little spin at her oligarchy uh Jeff Bezos just paid to have a $500 million yacht built in uh in Holland and uh but he built it in a dry dock and to sail it out they have to

figure out to get past and And Bezos was like, I will pay to remove the bridge. Yeah. It's like a historical bridge. So they got to like, fuck that. So they all started saving up old eggs to go throw in his boat. If they did that when he sailed by.

And so they eventually, like, so DePezo's boat just sitting there to decide not to tear down the bridge. So he spent $500 million in a yacht just sitting at a dry dock. Yeah. I mean, I don't know much about yacht building or the business of yachts or anything. But it seems odd to me to not, I don't know, the logistics of that. You ought not build your yacht on the other side of a historic bridge that prohibits its reaching the yacht water. You know what I mean? Like that seems short side to me.

But I get, I get, though, that if you're Jeff Bezos, you can go to the fucking moon and everything, then it's like, hey, what's a historic bridge? I'll just pay to have it, you know, dismantled. And maybe I'll rebuild it in my Amazon Museum or something where people can appreciate it, you know, something like that. But, yeah, I guess the Dutch, the Dutch wasn't having it and shut that shit down. So, like, what is he going to do? I mean, what are they going to do? Does anybody know what he's going to do? Like, it's just stuck in there and he's just going to, well, I guess I've got a yacht there now.

Or, I mean. I think his thought process, what at the beginning was, I'm a billionaire, so he'll be able to be in reality to my power. Right. I assume eventually he will be able to do it. But in the meantime, yay for the Dutch. For sure. In other international news, I read this

This thing with Japan, which really amused me Because it's like how different our cultures are So Japan has it still has the indoor mask mandate They have a pretty elderly population That makes sense, I guess They do not have an outdoor mask mandate, I guess It's a violation or constitution for whatever reason

But people are still, because of social pressure Are wearing masks like outdoors To the point where the government's begging people To take their masks off outdoors But it's very hot there right now and people are having medical episodes because they're having a hard time breathing. Japanese government is just turning

Southern State Maga Governor being like, you're going to have breathing problems if you don't take off your stupid mask. That's wild. Yeah. Imagine that. Imagine that being the problem is that people refuse to take their mask off. But like, and I hope this isn't like,

I don't make it. This is not meant to be any kind of xenophobic or stereotypical, but like that a lot of the Asian cultures and societies, they were much bigger on masks than us before all this, right? Like, if somebody was sick, they'd wear a mask. Or, I mean, you know, if you've been to a lot of airports, you'll see, like, Asian travelers with masks on well before the pandemic. So, like, I can see how once it became a huge thing, like, for everybody, like, if you had that culture of wearing them, you know, as a sort of preventative measure anyway, when a pandemic happens, you know, might latch on to that. Whereas, you know, if you instead are like, no, fuck that mask inhibit my freedom because

the whole world deserves to see me, mouth breathe and fucking froth and whatnot, then, you know, you're going to be more reticent. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, when I live in Los Angeles is, you know, the Asian community here. And I would see, even in like 2017, 2018, you'd see people wearing masks in public transportation. So, yeah, they're more acclimated to it.

It's not a big deal. And they respect and revere their elderly, whereas we are like, fucking. kill them. Put them on some ice floes. We need to go to Walmart, you know, flow it out to the ocean as long as it keeps Walmart open. Yeah. But my favorite fun story of the past week was, so there was a carnival crew line,

Carnival Cruise, where apparently somebody found out their partner had engaged in a threesome with another couple on this amazing carnival cruise. And there was a huge brawl that kicked off between, I guess, the two big families. It lasted hours to the point where the Carnival Crew security couldn't get it under control. It took place

until over four or five decks. They had to call the Coast Guard to shut down this threesome brawl and escort the boat back to short. So that's a powerful Americanity right there. I tell you, you know, I never would expect to see a headline come out of that

from such a class highbrow organization as Carnival Cruises. You know, typically, it's more like the Met Gala on those cruises, not some floating trailer park shit show, not Carnival Cruises. Now, listen, I'm white trash, so I've been on some

cruises. And that was one of the more like jarring realizations that I had, because being white trash and growing up in fucking rural Tennessee and everything, I thought cruises were fancy, which I think is sort of their whole deal, as they get people that think they're fancy on there. And you get on there, and you're

like, God damn, this is just like, a floating county fair or whatever. Myrtle Beach on the high seas, man. That's all the cruise is. So, yeah. My mom and sister went on a carnival cruise last summer. It sounded like a hit. So I don't know.

Oh, I mean, really good. Dude, I'm, look, I've had fun on them, you know. Yeah. They are kind of, they're fucked up, though, in a lot of ways. They, you know, they're, like, I remember also getting on there and talking to a lot of the staff and stuff. And they were all from, like, other countries, less developed countries and were, like, sending their money back home. And they're not, you know, they don't pay people worth of shit and all that.

Anyway, whatever, they're not, like, they don't, they don't live it, the cruise lines. Yeah, they're, you know, they're floating, floating social economic and environmental disasters. But hey, you got a, would you not, would you not, would you know, it's a comedy show at night, everything you want to do right there on the boat, you know. Yeah. Last little bit of fun news before we get into it. This is just a, so the Fulton County special grand jury investigating Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Today subpoenaed Rudy, our buddy Rudy Giuliani, Dennis, Lindsey Graham, somebody named Jackie Dick Deeson, who I'm not familiar with, and our old friend's John Eastman. And Kenneth Cheesebro, a returning champion who's a chief guy named Cheesebro from Wisconsin.

So he always hits for us. Incredible. Yeah. Seems like he should be their mascot. cheese bro. Mayor, it should be that you should run for mayor, Lisa. It could be Mayor McChief, bro. Yeah, well, you know, maybe something will come out of that. Maybe not. I saw a headline yesterday that was like Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony has prompted reevaluation of Trump's legal culpability. And in my head, I was like, I guess that's cool,

but like, what, like, that was the thing? Like, what was the assessment before? Why did you need to reassess his legal culpability after that. There's been so many moments that seem to express legal culpability. And it's like, I don't know why this one's different. But if it actually is, then that's cool, I guess. I think it's because he wanted to march up the steps with the protesters and make some big speech on the floor of the Capitol. It's like it shows his personal intent to disrupt the actual proceeding.

So it's the same charges that the lower level schmucks have been hit with he could get hit with too. So you could also get 14 days in jail. Right. But it is funny. The Fulton County DA is going harder than the Department of Justice. I know. Yeah. Crazy.

All right. Well, yeah, with that said, let's get into it. With us as always, no, wait a minute, curveball. No producer Matt tonight. That's right. You guys haven't noticed so far, but you may soon. Because Matt is in Norway. He's on vacation.

He's over there with Thor and the seals and the Ravens. I don't know a lot about Norway, but that's where he's at. I hope he's enjoying it. The sun never goes down or whatever. It's still cold, but it's July. I don't know. But it seems fun. I hope he's enjoying it.

But what that means is I am not for the first time pulling double duty. I try to produce a tray, everybody. I'll be putting up the graphics and screenshots and all that good jazz while attempting to hang in there with Mark, keep up with Mark along the way. So, you know, cut me some slack. You know I'll be up my own ass about it the whole time. way, but we're going to do it we can. Either way, this is weekly skews. I, of course, want to remind you of a couple things.

As for the show tonight, another day, another horrible shooting in the land of the free, this time on America's birthday, Mark and I will discuss the latest tragedy in Highland Park, Illinois and all the absurd chatter surrounding it thus far. But first, we will continue some attempts at levity with the Daily Dumbass. Trey, graphic.

Nice work. Yeah, thank you. I'm doing the thing. All right. Tonight's D.D. President Bill Pullman from Independence Day, because evidently his big climatic speech didn't really work, at least not according to who else, Alex Jones. I declare this July 4th, 2022, to be a Declaration of Independence against the alien force

on this planet today, waging war against humans and our biology and our very future that is attempting to exterminate the majority of us and force the minority that's left to merge with AI computers and become cyborgs. slaves of Satan. Well, there you have it. Pretty clear to me. When is somebody going to do something about this, Mark? Dude, I am utterly, I'm so happy and relieved that he pivoted away from actual politics

doing this shit again, because this is the real Alex Jones. I know. I swear to, I'm so glad that was your takeaway, too, because I swear to God, that's exactly what I thought. I was like, I was like, I'm almost charmed by this, you know, to see this. Because my first introduction to Alex Jones, it was all shit like this. And honestly, for a while, I kind of thought that it was overblown, the outrage about him. Because I was like, I was like, dude, he's talking about fucking human alien or human animal hybrids and fucking alien overlords and cyborgs and shit.

I was like, it's so patently ridiculous that, like, in my opinion, it's like, it's so absurd. You listen to it. And it's comically absurd. Like, fucking, who cares? But then over the years, it took a much more overtly political bent, and he got even bigger and bigger and got more followers. And it's like, it's always wild to me when he says some shit like this again. It's like knowing millions of people are listening to it and thinking like, finally, somebody says it. But either way, no, I agree with you.

I wish he'd just stay in this lane forever. Yeah, it's 2006 again on the Alex Jones show before. Because like, really, like, it was like amusing to listen to him on late night drives in Texas where it was on AM radio. It was all about aliens and Area 50. one and shit. And it wasn't until Obama got elected that he started actually talking about actual like material politics. Then of course there was Jade Helm and then he tried to get the Sandhook parents murdered. Yeah, right. I think this might have then then Trump of course came along who was willing to go on Alex Jones and that gave him more mainstream credibility and stuff.

But like it I have a feeling this Sandy Hook lawsuit has a has some impact on this. He's just like you know what? Fuck it. I'm not talking about real people anymore. Let's talk about alien. Yeah. Wild how Obama's. presidency seemed to spur a lot of people into politics, you know what I mean? It's like sort of what happened with Trump too, made his bones talking shit about Obama. It seems like for some reason that just really pissed a lot of people off. I can't put my finger on what it was, but exactly, but a lot of people seem pretty upset about Obama being the president. I don't know. Somebody, I think it was a Tianasi coach of his take, but like maybe it wasn't

Tjani Cobb. It was like Obama's main problem was he had a had too much faith in white people. And it's like if he maybe had a better understanding of how fucking reactionary a lot of people in this country are, he would be like, you know, maybe it's better off if we're better off if I don't agree in. You know, it's like it might have occurred to him. But, you know, here we are. All right.

Let's say our honorable mention here is teens for not realizing that thick women are women too. What does that mean? Well, hopefully this will make it make sense. This is from a rat-wing commentator Tim Poole. Here, let's. Perhaps one of the reasons we are seeing a rise in kids identifying as LGBT is because they're consistently told that morbidly obese women are attractive,

and maybe they're just not attracted to her. But what do we, what do we hear? We're hearing from. All right. So if you don't know, Tim Poole isn't some, I mean, he's obscured in a sense. He's fucking stupid and doesn't matter a lot, but he doesn't matter in a sense. He has millions and billions of listeners. It makes millions of dollars a month

taping that at his house and goes on Joe Rogan and shit. But I love that tape because it's like, these kids aren't actually gay. They just look at a woman and a dude because the woman is a little bit thicker in the Victoria City's Secret Catalogne. Now he's like, you know what?

I'm not gay. I just find men who are toned, live and sexy. I just like, it's just bad. I'm not gay. I just like that bad. It's like, I don't know what to sell people, man. It's also funny that, it's just funny to think of this guy saying like, you know,

the new Victoria's Secret Plus-sized models or whatever in their, in their campaigns and stuff. He sees one of those and he's just like, this is why everybody's gay right here. It's because of these, these fat angels. That's the problem, really. Why isn't my talking about this? There's also, like, a special kind of idiocy here where, like, these guys, guy's default assumption is the Victoria's Secret catalog exists for them to jerk off to.

It doesn't even occur to them, but the point of the Victoria's Secret catalogs to sell Victoria's Secret products. And there are a lot of thick women in this country who want sexy lingerie and want to see what it would look like on their body type. And that's the whole, that's it. That's it. That's it.

It's also the thing that's like, it's like big girls are showing, you know, boys, pictures of themselves and be like, is this attractive? When they're like, no, not to me. And it's like, well, you're gay then, you know what I mean? And then they're like, well, shit, I guess I'm gay then. And then they're just gay forever after that.

So, yeah, somebody's got to do something about this widespread problem of big girls being pretty. Yeah. Or whatever the hell. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I guess we got to come up with, you know, hot take after hot take. It gets difficult after a while. Because those guys talk for like four or five hours every day. I know.

If we did that by the third hour, we would be saying some absolutely insane. We do this for one hour a week so we can only say shit, then it only half get us our lives ruined. Yeah. All right. Let's see. Now, you definitely going to have to walk us through this one, but I'm going to get it pulled up here. Yeah. This is a truly wonderful headline.

It's somewhat related to what we were just talking about. Yeah. Here we go. The dumbass here is the mafia for being a literal woke mob. That's right. This article is from 2019, but I just saw it, so I wanted to talk about it because it's so funny to me. The whole context for it, too, we'll get that. The headline is Mafia Duran's ban on homosexuality after discovering mob boss's son is a fabulous drag queen.

Now, this is from an Italian paper. It's about a crime family. I can't really pronounce it. It's the name of its apostrophe N-D-R-A and G-H-E-T-A, so N-D-G-H-E-T-A. In the gate. In the gate. That's it. I'm assuming I nailed it.

Yeah, nailed it. There's Southern Italy's richest crime syndicate. They control that 80% of the cocaine flow in Europe, part of a business that brings in 38 billion pounds a year. And by the way, this gay prohibition, I know anybody's seen Sopranos, knows Vito's storyline. But this isn't just like a thing in Italy or on Sopranos. In 1992, a New Jersey mob boss named John Johnny Boydumato was head

the Calvo Conte crime family, we shot dead by one of his soldiers, his own soldiers after they found out he was gay. But what makes this so funny to me is this information is coming from a prosecutor in Italy who heard all this stuff on wiretaps. And the reason he's leaking it is basically he's calling them, he's making fun of them for going soft.

He's being over the COVID. Right. He says, I brought to trial the grandfathers and fathers of today's bosses. They were impassive in the face of long prison sentences. The young today came. can't take the stress of prison in the way their parents did. They're paranoid depressed.

They're more fragile. These new mobsters are too gay to do their prison time, Ray. That's what he's saying. He's like, not my pap, no, not my papal's mafia. It would never. Yeah. Yeah, he's like offended that the mafia, like you said, it's a literal woke mob out here. Just because they're not shooting, you know, gay people anymore or whatever.

It's like, you know, I guess you take progress wherever you can get it. But it's also, it's just like, it's so. it's like so typical of how it often goes with those people. You know, it's like when the mob, I guess the head, when the Don's son, you know, starts dressing up as, you know, Princess Peach or whatever. I've tried to do, I tried to do an Italian thing, and I thought of Mario, and then I went to Princess Page,

but I don't even know if she was Italian. And also it's like literally, I'm sorry Italian people. I just go straight to Mario. Sorry to any spaghetti Americans out there. I don't mean to offend. But anyway, as soon as the Don's son starts doing that, then it's like, you know, maybe we should reevaluate this whole situation. But still, it's better than him not, it's better than him, you know, putting him in a duffel bag and throwing him off a bridge or whatever. Like apparently the dons of yesteryear would have done, which this prosecutor would prefer.

So, yeah. You said he had wiretaps of like multiple guys who were in the mafia, who were in affairs of each other, Texas, like sexting each other. And I guess this is just me making assumptions. I think you'd probably try to use that to flip them. They're like, nah, they're actually cool with it. It won't work. But it said, so he came out with his story, and then this guy lived with a bunch of private security because he prosecutes a lot of mob dude, so he can't go public.

His life's under threat. And that sucks. That sucks for him. But he didn't, when the story came out, the response was not from the mafia. Again, don't care about this anymore, apparently. This is from the article, instead of receiving the expected death threats for his comments, Criteria was on barry with emails, accusing him of being, quote, insensitive for declaring the mafia's events again.

The public, very Catholic Italians, like, you're being problematic and how you're talking about the mafia. Yeah, right. The main, the primary mafia prosecutor over there, everybody's like, listen, come on, man. It's 2022. You can't be like that.

Which, like, he'll not be like that. But the whole thing is just so, it's just, it's wild, wild timeline we live in. Yeah. I wonder what Alex Jones' thoughts would be on, you know, who's turning the mafia gay you know he's already got the theory

on the frogs probably something in olive oil I guess something that they've the NGOs have done with olive oil it's turning the mafia gay I don't know

they dumped they dumped the chemicals in the water that it turned the frogs gay into the canals of Venice and that's what this is what happened next yeah but I love it but I was like you can't it'd be unwooked to imprison

gay mom it would be all turned gay because the public is like you can't put him in prison that's persecution. Oh, God. I love Italy. I got to go there.

Yeah, me too. Love to go. I love salami and stuff. No, it really, it is, it's near, you know, near the top of my list. It does seem wonderful. I do like to, you know, rib them a little bit. Any of the other types of white people, you know, who get, because I know, we've talked before, it's like Italians can get defensive online.

And I just, you know, I find that funny. Because I feel like as a, as one of the most mocked subgenres of white person, you know, fucking hillbilly or whatever, that I can, you know, I'm allowed to talk shit about Italian to French or whatever. It's all in good fun, everybody. There was a, like, a parody Twitter account called, like, Italian Elon Musk and post shit, like, it's a me. I don't have to pay the taxes. Just like that. Yeah. And they got, and they got reported by a bunch of Italian rights groups for being racist. It was like, the Italian, I can freak the exact name up, but the Italian Civil Rights League was started by the literal mafia, Joe Columbo, and those guys, they try to stop the Godfather movie from getting made.

And so it's, I don't know, man. Another shit makes me sense. But let's get into this last dumbass, because this one really hits for me. Yeah, this one, this one's great too. Yeah. So that's the dumb ass here is laws for being boring to read. Because what happened was,

Minnesota's Republican legislature fucked up and accidentally legalized weed edibles. They were apparently trying to regulate hemp products because it's like over-the-c-fitting THC substitutes. They're illegal because a law doesn't specifically prohibit them. Okay. Give me a second here because I think we're talking about Delta 8, right? Yeah.

Because I know it's like a big thing and like, you know, Corey's in Georgia and so I've heard a lot about Delta. because in California we just get weed weed, but in places where it's illegal, this Delta 8 shit has become a thing recently. And I just want to clarify, because when I first talked about for Corey, I was like, dude, you're not fucking with that shit, are you? Because I remember a few years ago when I still lived in Tennessee, there was this other stuff that was like synthetic weed, right? And it was technically legal. And that shit was a fucking hysteria-inducing nightmare. Like, it was horrific. And I was like, dude, you can't fuck

with that stuff. But this is apparently, it ain't that. It's not, it's like a, it's like, it's like you said it's THC but that comes from hemp it's derived from hemp which is the legal loophole or whatever whereas that other stuff was like made in a lab or whatever so as I understand that Delta 8 is just sort of you know it's way more

weed like than the fake weed of of you know back in my day was yeah yeah so they passed this law and it went to effect Friday and stores immediately started selling like there were lines lined up down the street for people to buy a weed because it's like you can buy it to

five milligram edibles, which isn't strong, but if you take, like, 10 of them, you can buy 10 and take 10. So, buddy, five is all I need. Now, I'm a self-professed, like, massive, lightweight, but five is good enough, but yeah, I know dudes that will take, they'll take 50 milligrams or whatever. But like you said, just get 10, take them all. If you're one of those fucking tanks, I can't handle that shit, but yeah. But they, they fucked it up so bad.

And my understanding is they can't even tax it. Like, they, they usually, like, California, like, if you go about, like, 60, you're going to pay 80 because the taxes are so high. That's how they, that's one of the ways they justify it. And they just didn't do any extra taxes because they didn't realize they were legalizing weeds. You can just go buy weed

sodas and gummies at like them all. No special dispensaries or anything. And we have video here of this hearing was from the March. If you want to pull that up. This is the moment they, they had the committee approved the language. It was the bill that was going to pass. And this guy sort of knew he'd

fucked up, but it was joking about it, like he hadn't fucked up. Oh, hang on. It's you, too. I can just read the transcript if you can't get it out. No, hang on, I got it. I got it, but it's... It's all on the fine thing. Just kidding. Okay.

Just kidding. And the amendment inserts language. I don't know where it is. I'll just read it. It doesn't think that's marijuana. No, that's what's... Sorry, that's my first fuck up. I know there'd be at least one.

Yeah. producer trying to drop in the ball. But yeah, the dude, he goes, we didn't, that didn't just marijuana did it. And then, and then, after he laughed, the Democrat representative, Tina Liebling from Rochester said, oh, are you kidding? Of course you have. No, just kidding. But we'll do that next.

As he dog walked him. So the Republican legislature legalized weed accidentally, because they have a Democratic governor, they're not going to be able to pass another law to undo it. know, happy weed, happy we eating Minnesotans for a little while anyway. Yeah, that's awesome for all the good people in Minnesota, all the good, the good tokers of Minnesota, because I would love it. Tennessee is definitely dumb enough. Our state reps are definitely dumb enough to do something like that. But yeah, I'd say you don't get a, you don't get one like that very often, you know,

state level politicians, man, always doing dumb shit, but it's almost never good dumb shit like this. You know what I mean? They're dumb assery's almost never beneficial to people. No, fucking, hey, what a W, Minnesota. That's tremendous. Most Republican state legislature is just rubber stamp legislation sent to them by ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, like literally in Xerox is the same bills will pass in all these different states.

If you hacked Alex email, you can get weed legalized in every state because they will fucking read it. Please don't even look at it. Yeah. Yeah. Push it through. All right. Well, you know, I feel like we had some fun with all that.

which is good because now let's uh let's talk about as you said the dystopia another shooting yesterday there actually wasn't there wasn't just the one there were multiple shootings yesterday as is often the case in this country but yeah there's obviously the terrible one in highland park there's also one in philly right yeah i'll start with the one in philly because no one died um only only only two people were shot so that only doesn't qualify as a mass shooting by most people's uh metrics and also has some uh it's the more well it's got some silly stuff today just a real quick what happened was two cops were grazed one in the shoulder one in the head um but they didn't catch new ones so no one knows why they were whether they were targeted or why or what the point

was maybe it was just somebody somebody could have been targeted shooting at something and missed or could be shooting someone else and hit the cops I don't know I'm glad everyone's okay but the main thing that happened was a big crowd panicked and fled to sort of ruined adjacent to rule little concert. It was supposed to be happening for July 4th. So, but the cops, man, like, I don't understand the need

to lie in such ridiculous manners. The first thing the cops did was put out this story about the cop that got grazed in the head. They said he was carrying a prayer card from a recent deceased a prayer chaplain. And the power of God and angels

and that chaplain saved him and stopped the bullet. And then put up this picture if you throw up this picture tray that's a picture of the bullet um they're apparently trying to say this that's it right yeah it's not very high oh yeah you can sort of see that that that uh that carbon cartridge in there that a very clean cart uh bullet was never fired from a gun i can tell you that if you ever seen a go bullets and fired it doesn't look like that and that doesn't mean the cop wasn't very lucky and he can he can he can say that's a miracle and god protecting him if he wants that's that's his faith and he can do it he can he can believe absolutely that if he wants to

but the photo is staged they're trying to make it look like the the bullet entered the hat rattled around the hat and yeah pretty pristine condition i know i don't get how that's even yeah supposed to work i thought like my first when i looked at it i was like that looks like someone sat a bullet on a hat and a hat or whatever it feels like there would be more a destruction and everything from an actual situation like that and it's also so wild to Just to pull out the prayer, yeah, it was a prayer card I had in my hat and everything. I don't know. It's weird.

I mean, there's all those stories. I mean, I guess if you're, right, I mean, if you're, like, if you're that cop and that happens and you're devout and everything, like, he probably straight up believes that the Lord protected him. I mean, he thinks, you know, that, like, everything he does is the Lord's will, I assume, you know. Sure. But the Bible also says not to lie. picture is a fucking lie because the the hat would have an exit wood. It wouldn't just,

it wouldn't go through one part of the hat and stop at the back of the hat, then sort of do a loop to loop around you. It doesn't make any sense. Anyway, but their mayor had some pretty hidden video after after this. I want you to see this because this is great. Yeah. Obviously, shitty situation, but I

did enjoy this mayor. I'm not going to lie. So yeah. Mayor Jim Kenny. Philadelphia. Here we go. I am concerned. I'm concerned every single day. There's not an event or a day where I don't lay on my back and lay the ceiling and worry about stuff. So everything we have in the city over the last seven years, I worry about. I don't enjoy Fourth of July. I don't enjoy the Democratic National Convention. I'd enjoy the NFL draft. I'm waiting for something bad to happen all the time. So I'll be happy when I'm not here, when I'm not mayor and I can enjoy some stuff. You're looking forward to not being mayor? Yeah. He's like, fuck this shit, dude.

I'm out. Yeah, his term's not supposed to end until 2024. And I think he just fucking quit on live television. Like, fuck you people. You won't listen. I don't know what the hell I was doing taking this goddamn job. This is terrible. So I wasn't familiar with who.

But you know how bad shit's going to be for the mayor of Philadelphia where the Eagles are to be like, I didn't want the NFL draft here. You people are such fucking idiots to shoot it up. Right. But to be fair, though, I mean, you know, you're a Cowboys fan, so you know, I mean, yeah, they're like among the most lunaticie of all fan. But, you know, they're the ones that famously threw batteries at Santa Claus and shit, right? Like, they'll, uh, yeah, they don't give a fuck. They're been intense to us. I think I said it to you, but there was a Philadelphia 76ers fan who went on radio last week and was demanding that Joel Embedde be traded

away. He's, he was second place named MVP during this year, if you don't call it basketball. He's a very good basketball player. It was demanded Joel Embed and B'd be traded away because he obviously doesn't love Philadelphia enough because he didn't appear in the movie Hustlers without him, Sam. Sure. Very good movie, by the way.

Everybody should watch. Very good movies. Yeah, the Sam man. He's doing great. Doing great shit out there. You should definitely watch hustle. I don't know if this will play or not, but my favorite related Philadelphia sports fan story was a few NFL seasons ago, they had this number one draft pick wide receiver named Nelson Agalore. He's currently on the Patriots. He had a real bad case of the drop seas that year. They drafted him to be the number one guy. He kept dropping passes.

It was not working out. Then there was an apartment building fire, right? And the news is down there covering his apartment building fire. And they're interviewing this guy who had been there during the fire. and he was like he was like he was insane he was like there were people up in the windows he's they were literally throwing their babies down to us on the street i mean we were catching them unlike agalore like he took a moment he took a moment out of this like you know crazy once in a lifetime insane incident he was a part of to shit on the eagles and nelson agalore as part of it and uh that's just how they roll There's a darker time where he actually drops a baby and still blames it on Nelson Agalach. But so if you, I wasn't super familiar with Jim Kenney before this, but I got to say after that, I'm a fan.

He has the Wikipedia page has a feud section. We talked to last week about how you should live your life in such a way as to not have a Hitler controversy page in your Wikipedia. Yeah, yeah. You should also live in such a way to have a feud section of Wikipedia where you're on the right side of all the feuds, which he was. first of all he went up against the local Catholic diocese when they fired a very popular teacher because he came out as gay from private school then he went on I guess he passed some sort of sugary drinks tax to I don't know have money for the government to do stuff and a sports talk radio host was beef

went crazy about it so he went on the guy's show and basically said I don't even know why I'm arguing with you you're on the 8 to 10 Saturday morning shift fuck you and then he just got into it with Chris Christie over the Eagles versus the Cowboys after Chris Christie insult the Eagles fan so I got to say this guy all around hits for me because Chris Christie don't hit even though I like the Cowboys Yeah right hold on I feel like I vaguely remember Chris Christie he's from Jersey Rider is he not from there he was just but yeah he was a he's a Cowboys fan Yep that's wild it's not that wild when how y'all cowboys fans are I mean dude I like

the writers. What am I talking about? But, you know, they were America's Timesers, Cowboys fans everywhere. But he's in, like, he's from fucking, you know, Cowboys hate country. Yeah, the northern part of the state's giants and the southern part of the state is an eagle. So, he just doesn't hit a, he doesn't hit for a lot of reasons.

So, yesterday's big shooting was on Howland Park in Illinois. This one happened in the morning. The first we talked about was at night. So I really book-in of the day. It was 10-14 in the morning as it happened. Seven people

are dead so far and another 47 are wounded. The seventh indicted today, so I'm not sure how badly the other 47 are wounded. But it's a, uh, it's a shitty one on a lot of ways because people are already running with some bullshit narratives about it, have nothing to do with the action shooting. The first one, it drives me crazy is the cops said, quote, the shooting appears random, which it's not random if you go on the internet. Right. I don't know what's going to take for cops to look at the internet, but,

These things are utterly predictable. You could look at people's content, be like, this guy's dangerous, which you can't lock people up for content. I understand that. I don't want to live in a country, but they're locked up for stuff they post. But there are things you look out for

and things that get to follow questions. This kid actually had been investigated by Kyle's before we'll get to that in a minute. But if you go on the chance, these mass shooters are all talking to each other and gassing each other up and trading tips and doing like flame wars, but who can get the most kills of shit. This is where,

right this stuff is happening out in the open and like we tend to like people arguing a lot about this guy's politics because like he did went to some mega rallies but also he liked some biden tweets and then so but people that knew him said he wasn't really political he was just like a troll he was just doing shit he was just doing weird like doing weird shit and like figure the guy's actual like politics or a left right paradigm doesn't make any sense because he's just a fucking nihilist all these kids right they might they might have pet causes or issues but basically there's just like the, what was the joker's politics? Right, right.

Yeah, it's like you're trying to pin down something that's very ethereal, other than the only thing these dudes believe is that I'm miserable, the world's cruel to me, and I want to inflict some cruelty back on it. Now, you can call that politics if you want. Some of these people are racially motivated, but not all. This guy just appears to be a, like a fucking mad lunatic. Yeah, I mean, it's like you said, there's like a class of these guys. Yeah, sometimes there's been a lot of racially.

motivated ones and and things like that. But like you said, a lot of them are also that, you said, you know, they feel like the world has fucking been cruel to them. So they're trying to be cruel back. Like the deranged loner, you know, type or whatever that's been like just stewing and hatred and getting and getting fucking riled up by the internet

and the deep parts of, you know, the internet, the sewer of the internet on all the chans and all that stuff and just getting further and further, you know, radicalized in that way and then they just you know they want to like fucking go down in history or whatever it's like

trying to get the high score and shit like that which I hate I even use that term because I know they're also they're already talking about this dude playing video games whenever that comes up I'll you know we can talk about that because I hate that shit

but but yeah I mean I feel like with these dude you know there's like a profile at this point for some of them And it's like you said, I don't, I don't, I'm not advocating for thought crime either, you know, I'm not fucking, not minority report. You can't be locking people up for their Facebook post. But we hear all the times about watch list and things like that. And it's like I don't, you know, I don't know what needs to necessitate someone getting put on something like that where they could be stopped from doing this.

But it seems like they're not right now, even though they're openly advocating for it and had broadcast. casting every warning sign. You can imagine not to mention the fact that the people who do all this stuff have no problem getting high-powered, you know, weapons, firearms in this country. At the very least, you would think we could attempt to do something about that. All right, I just lower, let's go ahead and talk about this guy because I had it in the rundown was a little lower, but they think this guy was on the cop's radar. They went to his house twice in 2019, once because a relative reported that he tried to

kill himself a week earlier. they went there and they said well he's already getting mental health counseling it was a week ago I understand why cops don't just drag someone out of jail for killing himself um and he also the second time a relative said he was threatening to kill everyone's they went to his house and they confiscated 60 knives and swords right um the local police went out of their way to say they informed the i was uh sorry illinois state police and i was like that was a weird why they went why they put that on the record. And they came out later today that he applied for a firearm permit and his dad backed him up for it and the Iowa State Police gave it to him saying there was no reason not to get

him a firearm permit. This is after, again, local cops had taken away 60 guns, knives and guns from him. So he can't have a knife, can't have a gun. So this guy, let's talk about the shooter for a second. He showed up the shooting. This is just, I mean, he dressed as a woman to infiltrate the parade to cover up all his tattoos and neck and face tattoos, which I'm not sure why a man can't have a turtleneck, but whatever. We finally found the problem with drag, tray. It's covered for mass shootings.

As far as the guy himself, he's a wannabe rapper whose his rap name was Awake the rapper, which of all these, everyone's a fucking rapper and everyone's being used trying to be a rapper. I know, I mean, I've thought before, like, if I had if I had known when I was a kid that you could just be, you know, a white rapper in the future, you know, outside of him and them, I was, you know, and who knows, I might have some mix tapes out there.

I would have been really into the idea at 15, I'd tell you that much. But yeah, a whole lot of rappers out there nowadays. Yeah, his social media footprint indicated that he's a video game enthusiast and professional wrestling fan. All that's good so far. One photo posted a Twitter show him wearing a Trump flag like a cape and another he wore an FBI cap. There's also a photo him on a Trump rally dressed as Waldo for some reason. And he also liked a Twitter video of President Biden. Again, the politics stuff seems tangential to whatever his persona was.

I don't think it was driving force. There's no evidence so far. This guy was a racist mass shooter like the guy in Buffalo was. A neighbor requested anonymity told the Daily Beast that Kramer would rat around the neighborhood and nearby nature preserves on an electric bicycle blasting heavy metal. And he used to drive a car with PussyMobile written across the back of it. So everything is of a Somehow I doubt that

Yeah, I don't know that that car was aptly named Call it crazy Not a variable pushy mobile Yeah, right This guy's family man Like I'm not sure to what degree The family's responsible So the guy dad helping him get the

The gun permit I think he lured up which you probably should Because I imagine he's going to face some questions about that Cremot's uncle Paul told Fox Chicago he saw quote no warning signs that indicate he might be involved in Monday's shooting even though the police had taken away 60 knives and swords from him

also he'd uploaded beheading videos to his Discord channel his Discord channel had fans by the way after the shooting his fans and followers knew who it did it and went and were talking about awesome it was on his Discord

so like how can these guys be a lone shooter if they have fans in a fan you know it's like right how's that a lone wolf um he yeah did you what uh did you watch the batman yeah you know ridler in that movie is like and not this dude i'm sure what wasn't on that fucking level but he's like it's a play off of this type of thing but it's a real thing where he's got like the equivalent of a discord channel with all these you know followers on it and stuff and they're just on there like plotting mayhem fucking murder and mayhem and stuff because that's the thing about the internet you can find your people even if you know your people uh don't need to be getting

together and talking about stuff they can do so on the internet and it's definitely worse for these types of uh individuals you know yeah uh after reading this is for an NBC story uh four-chan trolls invaded the community using as a meeting point to law the shooter and post memes about the attack the discord channel was shut down around 6 p.m eastern time just hours after crema was named as a person of suspect another way to put this is 4chan discord was ahead of the cops which they stay ahead of the cops as long as

if you try to report someone for internet harassment to a cop good luck because they don't understand that they think you're just being a crybaby so his awakes music got taken off YouTube and Spotify the videos were described as it described are insane one literally depicted a school shooting so his uncle knew his nephew

was a YouTube rapper he could have gone on and watch the videos at any point and he said there were no signs where he literally staged a school shooting as a music video I found a ripped instrumental with comments from today laughing about the shooting because these internet kids are fucking psychotic another one seemed like a nice mom lady she was like he was so talented why would he do this

I don't understand people so the discourse around this because this is like this is a good example of how nonsense there are discussions around this type of issue is because like the place was full of cops It's a July 4th parade. If you've ever been to a public parade, you know, there's cops like every 10 feet.

And people say, well, when people say cops don't prevent crime, it's true, but people treat that like an insult. But it's not an insult. It's just a statement about how linear time works. Crime has to happen before a cop can do anything about it. So this guy had a, he was sniping from a roof with an elevated position with a high-powered rifle. Even if the cops had 0.0 second reaction time,

there's just nothing to be done. You can't, you can't increase police funding to a point where this would be impossible unless you're going to put a sniper. her on every building and every roof in America. It's like, it's just like it's not going to be the thing to talk about. It doesn't make any sense. Marjor Taylor Green came out. She posted some stuff blaming the increase of people in antidepressants for advanced shootings, SSRIs.

Yeah. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. I've never been on them. Yeah. Here's the tweet from her. It's quote tweeting a thread from a guy who says he knew the shoot. and was talking about how, you know, he wasn't political necessarily. He was just lost and was into all kinds of wild shit.

And she quotes, tweets that and said, what drugs and or psychiatric drugs was he on for his mind to be ruined in alternate reality games that caused him to commit a mass shooting? His parents know, the police know, school, arrest, hospital records. The public deserves to know. So, yeah, she's hinting it a couple of things here. It's like, oh, it was some drugs he was on or whatever. And then also, you know, there come the video games thing.

As I referenced earlier, it's like fucking violent video games. I just, it drives me crazy this shit. It's always driven me crazy because this started back and fucking like Columbine and stuff. They were talking about Marilyn Manson and like, was he playing Doom or whatever? Like, it's always been part of it. It's always pissed me off because I love video games. And video games are huge. They're ubiquitous.

Almost everybody plays fucking video games, including the shoot-em-up ones. and almost nobody statistically is fucking murdering people. It's like, I don't know, but it's just anything to keep from talking about, you know, how easy it is to get a gun or any of that type of shit. Like, they'll talk about anything else first, no matter how nonsensical it is. The pill issue, I won't get to the numbers in a second about the SSRIs and video games. but the I think everybody suspects that a lot of other people are overmedicated or medicalizing stuff that's just like life being tough or you being a little weird or being a little sad or whatever everyone thinks that about everyone else everyone likes the drugs they're on right right but I don't have I don't have any of knowledge about selective uh about SSRIs I do know that when I tutored for rich kids they were all on Adderall they didn't need but a bunch of people aren't all they don't need because Adderall hits for a lot of people but um so this is the This was the numbers from Mom's Demand about SSRIs and video games.

Iceland is the world's biggest consumer of SSRIs. They've had five gun homicides since 2020. In the U.S., there have been over 30,000. Japan, that's really funny to me because Iceland's like, yeah, we're really sad because it's dark up here and cold, but we don't kill nobody. Japan is one of the largest video game markets in the world. They have had 10 shooting dusts a year. The U.S. has 40,000. Yeah.

And another thing that came out of this was the usual conservative stuff about Welp, Chicago. Chicago is a gun hell. Gun laws don't want. Right. Yep. So we're going to get into how their line about Chicago in a second, but also the line about where Highland Park is. Highland Park's like half an hour outside of Chicago.

It's like a rich, people thought maybe it was an anti-Semitic killing because it's a pretty Jewish neighborhood. But like this is like the rich suburb or like Michael Jordan and Barack Obama lived. It's not, it's not whatever conservatives think of as scare called Chicago. Right. Yeah. I've been Chicago. I like Chicago.

Chicago hits. I love Chicago. Yeah, it's beautiful, incredible city. But, yeah, people think it's like fucking, you know, Fallujah or whatever in Chicago. And you're right. When they think about Chicago and, like you said, Scarequo, Chicago, you know, it's the south side they're thinking of or whatever.

And I think it's gangland and just fucking, you know, bullets flying at all times. Like you said, I've been there multiple times and love it, never felt unsafe. But again, this isn't even, this is a suburb, a wealthy, an athlete. suburb. Yeah. It's not, whatever neighborhood you imagine, when you imagine scary neighborhood, it's not Highland Park, Illinois. So I looked up the deadliest cities in America.

This is most murders, not most gun deaths, which is a little bit different. But the murder rate in Chicago is 18 people for 100,000 a year. That puts Chicago 28th in the country as cities are the highest murder rate. It's just behind Buffalo and Montgomery, Alabama, which you never hear anybody complain about their murder rates. Chicago's not even the most dangerous state of Illinois. That's Peoria, randomly. The murder capital of America,

these numbers are from 28 teams the last year for which FBI data is available. Number one, the murder capital of America is St. Louis, with 65 murders almost, probably a thousand residents. So three and a half times the murder rate of Chicago. Right. That's the top 10,

because, again, all coming in ahead of Baltimore. All right is Chicago is Baltimore, Birmingham, Detroit, Dayton, Ohio, I hope Baton Roos and New Orleans, Louisiana. Carrier the city, then Memphis and Cleveland. There's Memphis. Yeah. I wonder where Memphis was going to be on that list.

I figured it would be represented. State by states, you're one of the most dangerous states to get murdered in? Because they're not the ones you think. It's not the state with Compton in it. It's not the state with Chicago in it. It's not even a state with Miami in it. Is it the state with all the guns in it? The top two states for,

getting murdered are Louisiana and Mississippi. And if you look at the rest of this map, I'm looking at it right now. Right there. It's, yeah, the next tier is Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, and South Carolina. And then he essentially got the rest of the Bible Belt and the Rust Belt. The places you're most like to get murdered in America

is the Bible Belt and the Rust Belt and then New Mexico. It's breaking bed foretold the future. And then the rest of the world, the country's pretty safe. The states I'm named where you think are super dangerous. actually pretty fine. And I'm not doing this to dunk on anybody, but this report was put out by third way, which is like a centrist, a Democrat group. It's called the Red State murder problem. And I'm not actually blaming anybody's criminal justice. Like, whenever, like, Philadelphia adopts

a progressive DA, they blame any surge in crime on the fact that the Lib got to do some stuff. I just want to point out that there's no real connection between, like, those ideas don't connect the reality. Because this is again just pointing out some data here. In 2020 per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Donald Trump and those won by Joe Biden. Eight of the ten states the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for

Republican presidential nominee in every election in this century. So the murders aren't happening where you think they're happening. But maybe the high murder rate is the reason everyone in those red states once done a gun. I don't know, but I don't think it's solving the problem. Yeah. So anyway, that is my rant about the stupid takeaways

from this fucking shooting. Yeah, I just, yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't know, like, how many, I mean, you literally just, like, can't keep up with them anymore, you know what I mean? And there's a lot that happened that we don't ever even, they don't even, like, break the news cycle. But there's still multiple people getting shot and everything. Like, I think there's been, like, 300 some odd mass shootings, like, that qualify under the definition of mass shooting. And some of those were, like, gang or drug-related violence. Some of them were like this type of deal, but whatever.

Either way, you slice it where multiple people got shot. I think there's, I might have that wrong, but I think it's like 300 and something so far this year, you know, which are halfway through. If a guy, I think the metric is three or more people shot counts as a mass shooting. So like, if a guy going through a divorce, his wife leaves him and goes to a parent's house, he goes there and shoots all three of them in their legs. That'll count as a mass shooting, but it won't even make this local news, except it's a blur. You know what I'm saying? So, like, there's a horrific gun violence problem in this country that, like, it's, again, it doesn't, a lot of stuff won't even make the news.

Like, three people get shot and it won't even, it barely, it'll be in the page B9 of the paper. But again, and a lot of people's like, takeaway from that is like, that's why everybody needs a gun. That's why we need more guns. It's because there's so many dangerous guns out there. If you don't have your own gun, then what, you know? And it's like, that's the. That's the logic of it, apparently. But, as it's been pointed out a million times before,

it's a uniquely American problem. It just does not happen other places in the numbers that happens here. And even when they'll talk about like, yeah, but they got more like knife violence or whatever. And like, that's not even true statistically. But also it's like, you know, well, hey, I, me personally, I'd rather get stabbed and shot, I think, just in general. But also, like, no one here needs to stab. We still do stab. We do plenty of stabbing.

But, like, you don't need to stab when you can just, you know, get a gun in the mail or whatever. Go down to a fucking gunshot leave with an arsenal. Why do you stab anybody? There's a gun and every other fucking chest of drawers in this. The Las Vegas shooter would kill, like, 50-some people. Do you know how tired you would be trying to stab 50-some people to death? You could not get it down to be an amazing shape.

There's a reason people choose guns to do this stuff is the easiest thing to do. with. If you make things harder to do, fewer people will do it. It will happen less. It's hard to do. It's so straightforwardly common sense. Like even stuff like you got have 30 round magazines. There's no reason other than a mass shooting to need a 30 round magazine. The only counter argument is it's really fun to shoot 30 rounds at a time. That's it. Yeah. That's it. If you won't sacrifice 1% of the fun you're having shooting your gun to save a bunch of people's lives at a July 4th parade, I just think you're an asshole. you know and like couldn't there be like I don't know you make it to where there's just like

there's certain businesses they're heavily regulated and their license you know we have gun ranges and stuff but I'm saying it's like if you want to go fucking shoot a machine gun you can just go and pay and do it I know that exists but I'm saying like why can't we just have that just be the only way that you can shoot a machine gun it's like if you think it's super rad that's fine just go pay some money money and do it, but we don't need to be, you know, distributing them willy-nilly throughout the, you know, American neighborhoods and whatnot. I went to one of those places and shot a 50-Cal and in Vegas, it was a blast.

Right. Yeah. Like, nobody's like, I don't see any reason why that type of thing. We don't, that don't have to end. But this shit, it needs to fucking end one way or another. I mean. And we talked a lot about how in my mind these guys, organized. They do have

like they've been radicalized. They do have an ideology. I think it's hard to pin down how you describe that ideology is. But like if a lone wolf terrorists gets radicalized watching ISIS videos and sets off a suicide bomb, we have a framework to understand what happened there even if you never

got in contact anybody from ISIS. But like we don't have an understanding of that like this. And these guys are part of a movement. Even that movement is just joker shit. Right. Yeah.

Well, I don't know. We'll see, I guess. All right, a couple of things. Thanks for sticking with me as I did the producer role. I'm saying that now because as this happened before when I had to take over for Matt, I cannot read through and choose and put up comments while still engaging in Mark's conversation and putting up screenshots and stuff, which is why I didn't get to comments tonight. I'm sorry about that, but I'm just, my brain just ain't good enough.

Okay, I can't do two things at once. Thanks for sticking with me either way. Also, Matt will be back next week, I think, even if he's not, we'll be okay, but he will be back eventually. Like, comment, subscribe. Thank you, Mark. God damn, yes. Like, comment, subscribe, share it, all that good stuff.
