Episode Date: July 12, 2023

Tonight we're discussing the GOP Oversight Committee's primary whistleblower RE the "Biden Crime Family", who just so happens to be an arms trafficking spy for China who is currently on the run. Which seems...less than ideal. Join us.Support the show

what's up everybody welcome back happy scuse day to you it is july 11th 2023 i'm tri crowder that's mark ij welcome back mark we had last week off yeah birthday good to be back fourth with fourth was good what did you guys do we went on a little camping trip to one of the only lakes they have out here in Southern California and it the the scenery and everything's nice it's uh you know beautiful but it's also a bit of a shit show down there called a camping trip it's like a big campgrounds so it's just filled with people and apparently this is the one you go to to party at I guess which was not what we were doing you know we're sitting in our tents at like 1130 like do they not know that quiet hours start at 10 what's wrong with these people you know just

being boring from parents about it but it was fun yeah my family burned So that's a plus. My family had a camp over when I was a kid. We used to go this little campground in Powhatan, Virginia. That's where I lost my virginity, buddy. That's fine. On a playground. Nice memories.

So we got a full show tonight. We're talking about the GOP's latest oversight investigation into the air quote Biden crime family blowing up in their face in a rather stupid fashion. A lot of shit happening. More Clarence Thomas corruption. He's been taking rich people's gifts since the 80s. It looks like. No one's going to do anything.

timing two of a little senator from Alabama went full clan mode saying being white nationalist is just being American which without looking into it any further I'm just going to assume he's agreeing with Louis Farrakhan and we have some racial progress he's like he's on one right now and he and he also kind of like holding the military hostage basically yeah that's what he's being basically he won't approve any military from he sits on a committee that it proves like military promotions he won't approve any because he says that the DOD is paying for abortions or something I can't follow it. But the fact, one senator, like, there's no one in charge of the Marines right now.

The Marine Commodore was forced to retire by law. And so, like, I guess the Marines are just, you know, I'm assuming someone's in charge, but technically not. It's probably an interim somebody. But like, we're not at war or whatever. It's probably no big deal. But it's, it's utterly buffoon shit out of the Senate. It's like you said, the fact that just one senator can, can even do that is, you know, bullshit in and of itself, you know, especially. an ideal dog dumbass like he is. Yeah, Democrats could have the majority.

They could change the rules they wanted to. It was letting him do it. Maybe they want the campaign issue. Former President Trump did the world a solid. He volunteered the idea that he'd be kind enough to let all the money that's focused on the special counsel investigation into him be refocused to figure out who had the little baggie of cocaine at the White House a couple weeks ago. That's nice.

Yeah, in the process of which he called the special. prosecutor, a crackhead. It's basically like, he'd love to look for cocaine. He's a crackhead. So everybody's a crackhead. Yeah, he said he looked like a crackhead to him or whatever, which I thought was funny because I feel like Jack Smith, the special prosecutor, at least with like the hair and the facial hair and everything kind of sort of looks like Don Jr. a little bit,

like a similar kind of thing going on. But to be fair, I mean, Don Jr. seems like a crackhead too. So, you know, I guess it's not really a gotcha. There's a fun thing going on There's another fun thing going on Where Nazis are showing up to protest with proud boys The proud boys are beating up the Nazis Not because they're Nazis

Because Patriot front wears masks They assume they're all undercover feds Yeah So they're no problem with the Nazis As long as they're not undercover federal agents But so This is a fucking poor kid He was like just a poly side graduate

Now here in California It was at a Dodgers game His phone starts blowing up Turns out he looked like one of the people that was on mass, so people called him a fad. Elon Musk and drew attention to it, called it a false flag op. This kid had to go on the run for his life because he was getting death threats.

His family went into hiding. So the internet was a mistake. The only thing good on it is weekly skews. Yeah, it's fun. The way they, like, the way they constantly are like assuming each of them, you know, assuming each other are feds or informants or whatever. And I mean, I get it because a lot of them, you know, informants or whatever it turns out but that's what's funny to me is like they're all you know

they eat their own a lot because they think everybody's a fed like i know there's that that one guy uh ray epps or whatever who is at the capital uh he he was like hardcore trump guy hardcore maggie guy goes to the capital was saying let's go into the capital everybody but then he didn't go in so they all decided he was a fed and they ruined his life also he's been living on the run and now he's suing fox news because tucker carlson called him a fed and all that stuff It's got to be like, I wonder what that guy's like, how that's affected his politics. You know what I mean? Because he's like a true believer.

And then they're like, you know, coming for him like that. Yeah, it's like, I can't believe these guys are so full of made up bullshit in just this one specific instance. Everything else is true and accurate that they told me. Right. Not this, because I know I'm not a fed. But it is funny that he's accused he's doing Fox News for, you know, for liable for accusing him of having a job and not being. a mega-psycho, so that's funny. Here's a fun story

out of Russia, and I'll promise this will end up funny, even though it sounds. It's about a guy getting murdered, but, uh, so a Russian submarine commander by the name of Stanislav Rzitsky was assassinated yesterday morning on his, like, daily run, and, uh, he's back home in Russia in a city named Krasnodar. Um, what I'm like a jog? Like, yeah, yeah, it's an important element of this. All right, so if you wonder what makes him a target, uh, he was a sub commander in the

Black Sea Fleet and a lot of the most dangerous, like, missile attacks and civilians, Ukrainian cities have come from submarines in the Black Sea. So that's why he makes him a legit military target besides just being the Russian military. But he turned out he was posting all his bicycling jaunts and jogs onto a social media app called Strava, which is one of those like fitness things. It shows off how you're working out. Yeah. It was public.

So whoever assassinated him just waited along the root of his morning jog in a spot where no cameras, then shot him and just casually walked off. And the fun part is, this is unverified, but one of the four likes in his post shares the same last name is the guy who's the head of Ukrainian intelligence. What a time to be alive. You know, dead man that guy's case. But, yeah, like, documenting your daily activities down to, you know, to the minute detail like that. It seems like a bad idea if you're, you know, a commander in an ongoing war.

but yeah i told my wife this story and she's like i wouldn't even post my jogs when you when you're like a russian military commander you have worse obsec than just an american woman who lives in fear for just being a woman and that's just like that's truly crazy times um it's not just it's like showing off like hey look how much uh exercise i get really living right out here like in fact you can see here here's the exact route i take and the exact same time every day never miss a day ever always exact exactly on time 9 a.m. This exact route, which is, you know, 1.8 miles pretty good each way.

So hope everybody's proud of me. Yeah. So if you guys living in fear of yourself being too online, don't worry about it unless you're doing that shit. So it was another fun moron story about J6. So a couple guys are up for sentencing. They're supposed to be sentenced today. They waive the right to a jury trial and just let the judge sentence them.

one of them his guy named James Beeks the next Broadway star he was in Jesus Christ Superstar the touring the touring version um uh to arrest him

the FBI went to two shows so I guess either they couldn't get him after the first one or they just really really liked him like Jesus Christ supposed to be a good show you know so he was also like a Michael Jackson impersonator in like Times Square

he was his YouTube page claimed he was one of the top Michael Jackson tribute artist in America. It's according to the Justice Department which they put in the brief for reasons because he wore his Michael Jackson bad world tour jacket to January 6th. He's part of the Oathkeeper's conspiracy trial. So he was in the stack fighting its way up the capital of the armed guys in tackier. So I just think it's sort of a beautiful American story. You got these oathkeepers that are veterans in a stack with a black dude, a Michael Jackson

impersonator. Any other context had been like, this is fucking dope. So he tried some January, some sovereign citizen bullshit, which I think we talked about sovereign citizens. The people think the American government's illegitimate because they put friends in the flag or something. So he was trying to wave around his birth certificate saying the judge had no right to sentence him.

And the judge is like, I don't even understand what you're saying, but I have jurisdiction here and I'm going to sentence here. Has that like ever worked for any of those people, the sovereigns? Of course it doesn't, because it's not a real thing. So it doesn't work. But it's wild that they keep trying it. I guess maybe it's like, well, you know, what other, you know, what else am I going to try?

But like the whole idea that like, uh, I, I reject the premise that the government has any sort of authority over me because I have declared myself a sovereign citizen, uh, it's like, yeah, I don't think that's going to work. Also, you got a long storied history of it never, ever working. So, uh, yeah, it's always so funny. Because government databases have, everybody's name in all caps. They'll be like, well, my name is in all caps. So therefore, it is. It's not me in the charging documents. It's like, okay, but buddy, like, no one gets off from that kind of technicality.

Right. It's just such funny, dumbasses. But yeah, it's like, it's like the, am I being detained to the cop? It's like, yeah, you're being detained, buddy. It's like, you're the U.S. government. You can't put me in prison unlawfully in my head. It's like, they can put you in prison unlawfully in the real world. So your, your fucking bullshit arguments don't really, you know, have any sort of sway.

Yeah. but never stopped them before. So sure it won't this time either. All right, let's get into it with us. As always, this producer, Matt. You guys don't get to see a course, but you got a fresh haircut. I know you guys must be jealous missing out,

They have vowed to take down, fully investigate the Biden crime family. How's that going? Well, they have at least one witness who they say is credible. And it seems now that that witness might, in fact, be a arms trafficking spy for China who's currently on the run.

So that seems less than ideal. We'll talk about it a little bit later. But first, of course, the Daily Dumbass. Matt, graphic, please. Tonight's D.D. Ron DeSantis for making an anti-gay music video too gay for Pete Buttigieg. He's here from the man himself. Reaction to that video. You know, I'm going to choose my words carefully, partly because I'm appearing in

secretary, so I can't talk about campaigns. And I'm going to leave aside the strangeness of trying to prove your manhood by putting up a video that splices images of you in between oiled-up shirtless bodybuilders. And the bigger issue that is on my mind whenever I see this stuff in the policy space, which is, again, who are you trying to help? Who are you trying to make better off? Right. You can cut it, Matt. policy problems. So did we show this video, Mark? No, we can't.

It was a pipe. Okay. No, we talked about it, but we didn't show it. I'm glad we didn't because it's, I didn't want to show it because it's gross, but also we can't show it because it got scrubbed from the internet because DeSantis was so embarrassed by the backlash to it. But the video we're talking about Desantis's campaign reposted a video that some of his supporters had made. The contrasted some pro-LGBQ stuff, Trump had said, with. news reports about Ron DeSantis being super, super hard on gay people in Florida. Yeah, it's literally just like flexing about how terrible he is to the LGBT movement and like making Trump look like good and like look like a like heroic almost.

And right, you know, the quote they take out of context of Trump, you know, being supportive of the LGBT movement and DeSantis flexing on how much he hates. all and all the things he's done to make her life lives miserable but as mayor petrofering to there's this is like intercut with footage of oiled up bodybuilders and like Brad Pitt and just you know real yeah manly man who aren't in there for sexiness reasons at all aren't yeah anybody on but yeah and the Brett and the Brad Pitt character the show was uh Achilles in the movie Troy which is that that character is a gay icon so it's like yeah He also had images comparing Ron DeSantis to Patrick Bateman, the serial killer from an arrogant psycho. They used a clip from Piggy Blinders in it.

The people in Piggy Blinders, they come out and tell him, they disavow him, which is like when one video gets gay people, you know, sensitive humans, bodybuilders, Christian Bateman, and the cast and crew of Pecky Blinders mad at you. I think you probably fucked up. But it was so utterly weird. But the context makes it even grosser because one of the clips in the in the video is Trump speaking at the RNC in 2016. He said, I will do anything about power to protect LGBTQ2, LGBTQ citizens. That was right after the Pulse nightclub shooting. He was reacting to Pulse, which again was in Florida where a bunch of residents of Florida, where Ronda Sanchez is the fucking governor got murdered. And Trump was expressing a little bit of human empathy because somebody had put it in a teleprompter for him to say,

that's one of the worst ones ever right in this country like that that mass shooting I mean it was like they're all horrific but that was like even in you know on that list of horrific things that was among the more yeah it was one of the deadliest I think it's in a I've lost sight count of my rankings now I think Vegas is still first and you got the you know the Virginia tech shooting and all that shit but yeah so Trump says something like human in response to that and that is one of the things specifically that the floor. the governor of Florida, where the tragedy took place used, like, in opposition to him. It's tone deaf, I don't even, doesn't even begin to describe it. And the, uh, off the context of that, if everybody remembers way back in 2016, you know, it feels like a fucking century ago. But yeah, the pulse shooter was a guy who would shout out ISIS and that's more complicated and that. I don't want to go into the history of the whole case. But the, but they were trying to pander to gay folks in service of. of ginning up fearmongering against Muslims in 2016,

before Trump did the Muslim ban and all that shit. And he decided Post Night Club is a reason to do the Muslim ban. And now they're sort of doing the reverse. All this gay panic hate and gay and trans hate is being ginned up and they're like, they're pandering to Muslims about it. And it's working. There are a lot of communities around like Michigan, for example, where like Muslims are joining the front lines of like his moms for liberty groups

or stuff fighting about books and classrooms. So it's like I wish people would see the game here because it's not. It's not even really that Holocaust poem, first they came for the socialist, first they came for the gypsies, yada, yada, yada, because they're just taking turns coming for different groups. And everybody has like a 10-second memory about when they were last come after. But speaking of which, the log cabin Republicans were very offended by this ad. You know, they're the gay conservatives. They had a bunch of them previously supported DeSantis. They bought into all of his other gay hate because he thought it was just about parental rights,

which I don't know how anyone can still be fooled by the, you know, won't you think of the children bullshit. It's never not been using. Well, that's always, I mean, that's the basis for the whole thing. Like you said, they're getting like some Muslims showing up on the front lines. I've seen fundamentalist Christians, too, spreading the same type of thing or whatever, which I mean, that's not, that's like right down the fair way for them. But I'm saying, like, they use the kids, oh, the kids are, this is all about the kids, you know,

to bring in these, like, super religious conservatives or whatever to their cause. it's all bullshit, obviously. There's no, it has nothing to do with the kids, but yeah, people keep buying into it. The Log Cabin Republicans are always kind of funny to me anytime I see a headline of them where it's like, I feel like I've been lied to or whatever. And it's only like, I thought we were only going to be hating,

you know, Mexicans and black people or whatever, immigrants and Muslims. I didn't know that I know we're going to be hating me. That's not what I signed up for. I was just here to hate all the other people. It's like, yeah, you know what you expected, buddy. I understand most voters are cross-pressure. That's where you get swing voters because I might be like, you know, we talked about a lot.

I might be, you know, I might won low taxes but also be pro-gay marriage or by and as versa, which there's no reason like a gay, there can't be a gay person who also works for an oil company, who doesn't want government regulation also wants lower taxes. Everybody has to triage or rank their different priorities when it comes to get, when he get in a voting booth, voting booth. I don't understand people who put their own humanity lower on the list than a little bit more money. but that does that that that sort of makes no sense to me but like just as a reminder of like the people the groups these people are making alliances with and by the way one of the gay conservatives that came out against the santa's was jordan santo so you got to do one cool thing in his life um he said uh i usually think he was a great governor uh now i'm starting to think differently oh congratulations george santoz uh so last tuesdays la fourth there was a uh there were a couple mass shootings um of course uh one was in philadelphia this guy shot up own neighborhood. Now, he was a hardcore Trump supporter and guns riots activist who,

from his social media post looked like he'd gone at a falling down type situation. Like he was upset about in his mind, urban decay or something. So he just shot up his own neighborhood. There's so much crowd in my neighborhood. I'm going to shoot it up. So he shot, he killed five people. His Facebook page was straightforward right wing, but he also had a couple of pictures where he dressed in drag. So of course, he became, quote, according to a far right blog, no, this is according to Marjor Taylor Green, quote, another trans shooter. We talked about it before, but the right has decided that every mass shooter is trans

now because there was one and one guy who said he was of the joke. So, and he also, this guy, if you wonder how far, these, how far gone these lunatics are, one of the reasons he thought Biden was going to take everyone's guns is because he said God saved the queen after the queen died or something. I can't put two and two together. I guess England has gun control that was Biden confessing to be in for massive gun control because he was sad because he pretended to be married is Irish, but he's pretended to be sad the queen died. So I just don't, I can't wrap. Yeah, some people are, there's no use to make sense of them.

No, but it's also, it's like the, like you said, the whole trans thing, all the mass years we've had, how many of them had no kind of even trans adjacent ideologies or postings or identities or. any of that type of thing and that just all gets wiped away because like you said one person and then or with this this person it's like there's pictures of them in drag and that just supersedes all the rest of it all the other radicalization whatever that clearly went on there it's like it can't be that it's because he wore dresses or whatever that's the real problem here and it just makes no sense whatsoever but you know plays it right into what they want to believe and think like yeah that's the real problem yeah I mean politically I can't even figure out what the fuck his chances is doing because he's behind

Trump even in Florida. So like I don't understand the point of doing this stuff anymore. Like the, they took down the embarrassing ad, but the new version of it was using a lot of the same footage about Trump saying nice stuff about gay people. Like some of the stuff he said was like he'd be fine with trans women competing in

the Miss Universe pageant when he owned it. He said he'd be fine. A Fox news interviewer straight up asked if he'd be fine with Caitlin Jenner using the women's bathroom at Trump Tower. And he said, yeah, which is yeah. And they repurchase the same footage and put it in an ad that's ostensibly from a, it's framed to look like a left wing pack. And it's basically congratulating Trump on being progressive with gay rights.

That's how they're doing it now is like trying to do jiu-jitsu after Cohen straight for his head. But like another political, dude, DeSantis is going to lose Florida about 50. This story fucking killed me. This headlines is this is the death sentence for me. Florida Republican women say they'll switch parties after DeSantis approves alimony law. So DeSantis signed a bill that ends permanent alimony. They're switching to a system based upon longevity of the marriage and stuff like that, which I don't really have a strong take on alimony.

I get why permanent alimony for a one-year marriage might be unfair, but also if, you know, the deal is the wife stays home with the kids while you work and you leave her, then you've taken her out of the workforce and probably owe her some reconsider. commence, you know what I'm saying? Right. But again, all these people not realizing what they're setting up for, this is the leopards eating faces party. Right. Right. Yeah.

This quote from a woman, she says she's like she got at least 3,000 women who are going to switch parties which I don't know if that's enough, but there's got to be more than that who will discover this and get mad about it. But the quote says the so-called party of family values has just contributed to the erosion of the institution of marriage in

Florida, which I guess what she's saying is that it makes it easier for husbands to leave's wives or they don't pay out of letters therefore they're adding to the divorce rate which is a really bleak way that my husband's only staying with me

so it doesn't have to pay me and that's the way I like it. But like any cursory just walking around Florida you'll see the Republican Party base is a bunch of divorcees. Right. That's Florida, baby, yeah.

Right. So I, politically is one of them is ham-fisted. Yeah. Well, it's like it's too, like you said, and like I mentioned with the log cabin Republican

Republicans, whatever, like you said, the leopards eating faces party. Well, I didn't know the leopards are going to eat my face. Like, that's that they're not hurting the right people. This isn't what I signed out. I was supposed to be cool, everybody, you know, which is always funny to me. But also, like, this is, I don't know what the end game is supposed to be for Republican politicians like DeSantis. It's like they just keep adding more and more groups of people to the list of

demographics whose lives they are ruining or who they're like straight up targeting and it's like how does that make sense from a political standpoint? Like what's your voting block going to be if you like willfully alienate everybody you can except for like just one very very clearly defined demographic you know that's exactly like you. I just don't I don't understand how that's supposed to work. Yeah. I'll never forget that. There was a quote like a year to Trump's presidency. There was a person, I don't know, Trump had done something that fucked over people. Like, they were part of his base, poor white people or something.

And this woman said he's not hurting the people he's supposed to be hurting. Right. Yeah. And anyway, it goes back to. That's it right there, dude. That's like, that's it. Yeah. That quote from that lady meant in complete sincerity.

That's like, that's the whole thing to me. He's not hurting the people he's supposed to be hurting. Like, it's a pretty bleak outlook on the whole thing. I think it is what it is, though. Yeah, I've said some not super awesome shit about Mayor Pete on here, but I don't say that that framing is a good approach to all this stuff. Every time you get dragged into some dumb culture war bullshit, instead of participating in the argument or agreeing with it, what you can do is just go back to what he said, which is, who is this supposed to be helping? Right. Who is it supposed to be helping?

That's it. That's the end. It's the end ball game. So focus on helping people. It would be my pitch to any politician who wants to. continue to get elected. So our honorable mention for Daily Dumbass is anyone who isn't currently investing in Nevada Beach Houses.

I'll try to hit this clip here, Matt. The ocean's rising over the next 300 years. That's a risk. It creates more beachfront property, actually. That's the way you have to view it. Just riffing, Mark, just doing his thing. This, I find this infuriating for a lot of reasons because I feel conservatives make this joke, this is a version of this joke a lot.

rising oceans makes less beachfront property think about what encroaching does it shrinks right so not only you're just storing a ton of like oceanfront property you're making less of it so the joke doesn't even make any fucking sense right and if you're making this joke right now in the middle of this summer and i do want to say it's nevada tray said nevada please don't send us hate mail um the what is that true it's nevada people get pissed about that it's nevada it's like I never It's like say Arkansas or something Or like Appalachia

People say it's Appalachia Okay So it's Nevada I'll try to remember that I'm definitely going to keep calling it Nevada But okay Nevada Got it anyway go ahead To say that right now

July 4th were the earth's hottest day In over 100,000 years The hottest day in recorded human history Only to be surpassed by the next Two or three consecutive fucking days All right Farmers just yesterday Farmers Insurance just announced you to stop.

They're like the latest home insurance company to pull out of Florida. Other insurance companies have done so, too, because they can't afford to keep replacing homes because of the fucking hurricanes. It's not, in Florida's government's response, it's like, well, if you can't sell home insurance, homeowners insurance, then we're not going to let you sell car insurance. Like, okay, so you're not going to have car insurance either. That's your solution. And another, Greg Abbott just signed a law in Texas a few days ago that basically kept municipalities. from having water break ordinances for work, people who work outside.

Like that. What is, what is supposed to be the point of that? Because it costs employers money. Is that what it like? Or it's big government. It would be big government to require water breaks. So we're going to pull them.

I just don't get the upside of being like, we're going to ban mandatory water breaks in the middle of what is shaping up to make the hottest summer and, you know, recorded history or whatever. Well, the socialist bastion of Dallas had over, overreached tray uh so just to throw a couple numbers at you um this bill was signed like governor abbott on june 6th since then 11 people between the ages of 60 and 80 have died of heat

related illness in just one county that's web county most didn't have air conditioning a teen and stepfather died while hiking in extreme heat at big ben national park uh the texas tribunes that at least nine inmates including two men in their just in their 30s died in texas prisons that don't have air conditioning um those those one of the effect about this bill which the context of how fucking hot it is. At least three workers died for collapsing on the job while laboring in triple-digit heat since Everett signed that bill. A post office worker in Dallas, utility line in East Texas, and a construction worker in Houston. You can't draw a connection between those in the water thing because nobody knows if nobody's keeping track of when the last time they had water was.

But these things have worked. Since these ordinances passed in Austin in 2010 and Dallas in 2015, those cities saw a decreasing annual heat-related illnesses and heat deaths. In fact, since 2011, workplace heat-related illness numbers had dropped by 78% while workplace heat-related deaths have cut in half. So stuff like drinking water when it's hot does help. Science is proven. This is only really tangentially related, but it reminds me, and Texas comes up. And when I was playing high school football, there was, so this was in the early 2000s,

and I was in Tennessee, there was a high school football player in Texas who died of heat stroke, right and it was like on the news and all this stuff and so as a result of that there it wasn't actual laws or anything it became a thing like they need to have water break these children who are playing you know are wearing all these pads and fucking whipping each other's asses and out in you know in the 100 degree heat for hours of the time should probably be given water and i remember our coaches like they did it but they like made fun of it the whole time do you know what I mean they were like oh guess we got to give you guys water now because y'all can't handle you know going a couple hours without a drink like making

it's out to be like huge pussies for wanting water when it's 100 degrees that's then you know and then they get out turned like we ain't into this drill till somebody knocks somebody else the fuck out you know just encouraging concussions and discouraging water and shit and that was just it was just the culture you know but i guess water breaks are for pussies like you know and uh in in some cultures mark so yeah problem they weren't ready for a warming earth you know yeah And speaking of thirst, the congressional GOP is thirsting for a witness who can help them take down Joe Biden. How do you like that transition, Trey? It was great.

Wonderful segue. So like Trace, we're almost a year into the GOP control of the House. They campaigned to rooting out corruption in the Airquil of Biden crime family. Let's take a look at how the clown show is going today. So because a bunch of should have happened yesterday about a witness, they think had some knowledge of some Biden shenanigans in China related to Hunter. someone will accompany? I don't know. But here was James Comer, who's the head of the House Oversight Committee, talking about this guy in May. Hold on a second, Congressman. Did you just say that the whistleblower or the informant is now missing? Well, we're hopeful that we can find

the informant. Remember, these informants are kind of in the spy business. Yeah. He's more right than he knew at the time, because we're going to. going to get to this guy's criminal charges in a minute. But so he was all over TV doing interviews walking up to the edge of accusing Biden of murdering this witness by personally climbing in his window and those little, you know, those socks hitman wears us, they don't leave behind shoe prints. Right. Plastic gloves and double tapping the guy on the head and then cutting up his body.

Yeah, it's classic. That's classic Sleepy Joe stuff right there, man. Yeah. Getting his own hands dirty, climbing in, killing people with his bare hands, like every. you know, dementia ridden papal does. So the context here, right when media has been harassing these guys because he's having all these hearings and nothing comes out of them. They go on going like Fox and friends and shit. And they're like, what the fuck? There's nothing here. What are you guys doing? Where is the red

meat? They're like, it's coming. It's coming. Like, so they had this witness who he was supposed to have a press conference with a couple weeks ago. The guy obviously didn't show up for reasons we're going to get to in his second. And then he just like rambled about influence peddling and a bunch of bullshit. it. So they weren't get anywhere with saying that it was his witness and he might have had tapes, except he disappeared and so did the tapes. Maybe there weren't tapes. And he, this is, So Coma went on Newsmax a couple days ago and named the guy. All right. If you got this next video of Comer, Matt, he did it.

Chairman of House Oversight, Congressman James Comer joins me now. Sir, good to have you back on. Tell us about this, man. The Post describes him as well connected in intelligence circles in Washington, D.C., where he ran a think tank, the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security with former CIA Director James Woolsey and former National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane as advisors. That's who this man is. He's not just some weird guy that popped up out of nowhere. No, he's very credible. And the people on MSNBC who made fun of me when I said we had an informant that was missing, they should feel like fools right now. And this is their worst nightmare because the reason he's taking a victory lap this guy's name is gal luft he's a dual Israeli

Israeli American citizen who works in defense think tank stuff or that's his cover job at least he was taking a virtual lap because the guy posted a video 15 minute video saying the Biden justice department was persecuting him because he had dirt on them all right so he's doing a victory lap because the guy was a lie but what happened next is because this gal luft guy was saying he was being unfairly persecuted the judge Justice Department said, fuck it and like made public his indictment, all right, which has him pretty much dead to rights over a bunch of shit, including working for China to try to get James Woolsey, who was on Trump's transition team as a national security

advisor in a position in the White House on Asian issues. They were emailing about it and gloating about how great it was going to be. So them using James Woolsey, who is a former CIA guy, as a character witness, when he was also working as a Chinese agent, maybe unwittingly, is fucking hilarious. Yeah. So this all blew up in Comer in the GOP's face pretty hilariously yesterday. He was charged. He's been charged for a while.

He was indicted in November. And they arrested him in Cyprus in February, but then he got bail and went on the lamp. He's been missing ever since then. That's why Comer couldn't find him until he made that video. He claims that information about Hunter Biden. but now he himself has been charged with arms trafficking, sanctions, violations, and acting as an unregistered agent for China. Among the stuff he did.

So he got Woolsey an op-ed about giving into China on some issues, placed in some foreign policy magazine or something, at a co-byline with it. And the article is cited in the indictment. They don't name James Woolsey, but they quote from the op-ed at length. All you got to do is Google the clip, and it's obviously James Woolsey.

they're talking about. And the thing about this is the Republicans knew he was full of shit or a tainted witness because, again, he's been indicted since November. Right. But he's just all they got, right? I mean, they don't have anything else and they're like desperate to come up

with something. So, you know. Well, the government does. The government does need oversight. Like, these guys, there's tons of stuff. These guys could be looking into that would get to fraud and corruption, waste, and abuse. But not this cartoonish shit where Joe Biden is sucking President Xi's dick or some shit.

It doesn't make any sort of fucking sense. So to walk through the timeline here, Loaf was charged November 1st to 2020. The GOP has been saying that prosecutors from the DOJ were meeting with him about Hunter Biden corruption in China. But the two prosecutors he met with are the two prosecutors named in this as the charging officers in this indictments. They were meeting with him to ask him questions about his own criminal culpability. Um, so yeah, he said he was put out on bail, one on the lamb, uh, he put out a video five days ago, so then they unsealed the charges. Um, so first, again, to go through the order of events, they told us there was a whistleblower. It said the whistleblower had tapes. Then they couldn't find the whistleblower. Then you said the whistleblower was murdered by Joe Biden. Then you said maybe the tapes didn't exist. Now we're learning that the whistleblower was a fucking spy off the Chinese government and he's on the lamp. Um, if you wanted exactly what he was up to, he was helping Chinese weapons manufacturers sell anti-tank launchers, grenade launchers, grenade launchers, and mortars to Libya. He used code words in his email, as he called them toys.

He was arranging some toys to be shipped from China to Libya. He also got acquired bombs and rockets for the United Arab Emirates and drones for Kenya. He told associate that worked with him that the unwillingness of the U.S. officials to sell weapons to Kenya provided them with, quote, opportunity for profit. Hell yeah, buddy. Hashtag, committing to the grind. this guy seems like he's on the up and up for sure international arms trafficking uh with you know libya china and otherwise so obviously very good i keep repeating how credible he is what's the

and sorry if you're like going to get into it but what's the what's their stance on his credibility in terms of like what his position is and why that means he knows the stuff that he says he knows also like has he is it public record what he says that he knows or like they we're supposed to be finding that out lighter like that's the bomb shell they're going to drop lighter or what he says that biden hunter biden was taking payoffs for doing influence peddling for some uh chinese oil company called c rc the details of it we don't know because they never got to the you don't give details to this shit because then you can pin down details just you just throw vague bullshit against the wall and it's not like hunter is some like good faith honest actor in a lot of this shit like

It wouldn't be easy to pin something on it. And they just got him for fucking tax fraud. But they'd rather get him for the imaginary stuff. Because they want to, like, rope his dad into it, right? I mean, that's why. Like, they wouldn't get him for the high level stuff because they can imply or somehow try to implicate Joe Biden in the ship with him. But the problem is that people that are criminal informants are often criminals themselves, right?

Yeah, it's, yeah. It's usually how typically how it works. So you have a guy who's got. Got him pretty dead to rights for influence peddling with China related to the Trump campaign and former CIA officials. And he's like, I know who's really influenced peddling, Hunter Biden. Right. And he's trying to get immunity. He's just thinking bullshit trying to get off.

Right. It's not like he doesn't have a motivation. Do you know what I mean to like to be bullshit and to gin some stuff up? Like he's got a very direct reason. And it's like you said, trying to get immunity or whatever. Like we know all the shady shit he's been up to. Surely there's no reason at all that he would, you know, he would definitely be acting. in complete good faith when saying that, you know,

the Biden family has had, has been influenced peddling or whatever the hell he's saying. Right. It's also like, there's tons of corruption here. They were sitting right on it. Right? It's just not part of the useful.

Like, we talk about our Americans have movie brands. They're imagining like Joe Biden meeting in an underground garage, take a like a briefcase full of cash while wearing a trench coat. When like, I go, how about this all the time, but real corruption in the front paper or the fucking newspaper,

and in LinkedIn. Like, you got James Woolsey, he used to be a government CIA official who's trying to take it, taking money indirectly, maybe you may or may not know about it from China to like to try to influence a U.S. foreign policy. Mike Flynn, I don't know how he didn't get charged for this, but he was trying to arrange to take money from Turkey when he was a national security advisor to have Fetula Gulen kidnapped from Pittsburgh back to Turkey to be tortured. There's stories every couple of weeks about how many retire U.S. military pilots are training

Chinese Air Force pilots, which it seems bad. We should give them a better retirement in exchange for not fucking training. Maybe people will be at war with. Every general goes on to be a defense contractor lobbyist. There's so much open corruption thing right there in front of you that you could stop.

Like influence peddling, like what is the difference between that and like just lobbying? Do you know what I mean? Like lobbying is like legal influence peddling that everybody knows about and everybody's fine with for whatever reason, you know. Right. If he had registered as a lobby lobbyist for China, you probably

wouldn't have gotten charged for that shit. But he was also doing stuff like helping Iran skirt oil sanctions, which would he have been on the hook for anyway, because you can't legally or illegally lobby for Iran, right? So, uh, yeah, but yeah, I put all this stuff under I put lobbying under the brand of corruption too, just because the Supreme Court has legalized all kinds of robbery. It does to me, doesn't make it appropriate. And Congress could do everything it can to at least embarrass people with it. The Supreme Court's not going to prosecute people for it. If you wanted to focus on Biden and corruption, look, the normal everyday corruptions all over the place.

Biden was a senator from Delaware for a thousand years. Delaware is the, is the, right, tax haven't capital of the world or whatever. Right. The joke was a, he was a senator, you know, Joe Biden, parentheses D, Citibank, right? That was a joke about him for years and years and years. He might as fighting for his constituents. They were legally lobbying, but that's the stuff I would like to see not happen. his Citibank contribute a bunch of money to Joe Biden's campaign

in exchange for lax financial regulations, right? That's stuff that's legal that everybody seems to think is okay in Washington that the rest of us think is fucking gross. And so, but they, again, the government needs oversight, but these assholes fuck it up so badly going to their cartoonish fever dream shit. They can't even accomplish normal stuff. Like, I was like, I've been trying to figure out what the fuck, like the same thing with Benghazi.

It was like, what do they actually think happen? Right. The fever swamp, like stuff was like that Obama was shipping arms through Benghazi to, I don't know, help kill Christians or something. And like the ambassador was going to out in for it. So he had it murdered. Like, but it's like, okay, but what are like the 70% of people who are more sane than that mad about? I understand the tragedy. People died and they should have more reinforcements and more help.

But what's the scandal? What's the crime? So the Intercept tried to get to the bottom of this. They're a reputable investigative outfit. I mean, Glenn Greenwald's old outfit, so he's a stain on their legacy. But the reporters here, Ryan Grimm and Ken Klippenstein, who's had some major good scoops. They're investigative reporters who mostly do a good job. So they tried to figure out what the fuck Republicans are talking about with Hunter Biden in Ukraine.

All right. So basically, what happened is the FBI got a tip from a human source. covert human, I forget what they call it, CR, covert human source, I think is what they call it. So, which means they fill out a form. And the form, I guess, is pretty damning if you take it at face value. All right, we'll get to what it actually says in a second. But if it claims the document to be believed,

Ukrainian energy company Burisma funneled $5 million to then vice president, Joe Biden, so he would pressure Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating Burisma for corruption. Joe Biden did, in fact, successfully push the Ukrainian government to fire the prosecutor in March 2016. As his defenders point out, getting the prosecutor fire was official U.S. policy. And I know we've talked about this before, but the reason was they fired the guy for not

prosecuting corruption. He was a corruptive prosecutor who was corrupt. He was dirty. Yeah, he was corrupt. Right. Yeah, he was allowing corruption. Yeah, he was like taking bribes and letting shit slide, which is why I needed to go. But this makes

it look like he was paid to do that or whatever. Right. So Chuck Grassley, Senator from Iowa, heard about this form and asked if he could see it. And the FBI didn't want to give it to him for a couple of reasons. One, it's an unverified report from this guy. And it's not totally, it's not that's not totally trustworthy. It's a game of telephone.

I'll explain that a second. But the FBI didn't want to give it over for a couple of reasons. One, it may not be credible. It's just a guy saying stuff, right? Two, they don't want to get their source exposed and get them either busted or murdered. But Comer and Grassey didn't care. So the FBI eventually relented and gave them this unverified form. So this guy told the FBI, the FBI does think he's credible.

In June 2020, they had a conversation with the Burisma executive while Biden was VP. The executive asked the source for help linking Burisma up with an American energy company. And the source asked why their help was needed if the company had Hunter Biden, who was on the company's board. The executive said Hunter Biden was dumb. He was hooked on crack at the time. And it already paid $5 million to Hunter and $5 million to Joe. through a variety of accounts that would take years to disentangle.

So again, to recap here, this guy was told by a second guy that Hunter told him that Joe got a cut. Right. Which could just be crackhead Hunter like bullshit and right, being like, uh,

yeah, because you got another five million out of it. Right, exactly. Yeah. That's for my bad. I mean, yeah, right. Even if this guy's story is true. if this guy's story true

that the other guy's story was true that Hunter said that that still could mean they both just got hustled by a fucking crack hit. Right. Right. Yeah.

So it's like there's so many layers to this because the like, so the guy who was the source for the Steele dossier story about Trump penal hookers in Russia. I think everybody, most people think that's kind of bullshit right now, right? But the same guy was also a compliment

Confidential human source of the FBI got paid 200 grand by them over the course of years. He was hustling them with sort of fake intel too. The FBI gets taken for this shit all the time. Remember Whitey Bulder? They were paying Whitey Bulder money to allow out of them. Someone added it up. They pay like $42 million a year to criminal, to human sources who are largely spies and criminals. No one knows where that money goes or what they get for it.

So the FBI is pretty embarrassed by all these shit. This is why they don't want to turn over raw source documents. But now to the top of publicers are now citing the same quality of evidence that the Steele dossier was based on that they defended as being uncredible to say that Joe Biden is taking money took $5 million from Burisma. So I personally don't think Joe Biden took $5 million from Burisma, but this type of shit, this kind of cartoonish oversight that doesn't work and everybody's an idiot dumb fuck is exact scenario where Joe Biden could absolutely get away with it.

It's like our politics is so stupid right now. There's so much corruption that could look into like with like lobbying and bribery and fucking uh in corruption the doD the trillions of dollars of waste gets wasted or disappears in the name of national defense weapons making weapons we don't need you got like if people going back and forth between working for the government and working for a wall street banks you got like all these shit is right in front of the supreme court all that right instead they're doing clinton body count shit with joe biden who's might be the most boring person to ever fucking live turning him to like a super spy assassin who's on the take from china ukraine

and everybody else, I guess, just fucking hold regular government hearings and find out what's going on. Because if we can't follow it, what do you hope to accomplish? I feel like if they're doing their job, like regularly, they know they'd be turning up a lot of,

like, you know, their colleagues, corruption and whatnot, or, you know, they got their own skeletons in the closet or whatever. So, and plus it's just like what the base wants to hear,

they're going to take down the Biden crime family, whatever. So they're just going to waste everybody's time and all the resources. on this, you know, cartoon ghost chase,

but ain't that America. Matt, if you want to pull up some comments and stuff for us, we got to them this week. Look at us. Doing good. Hey, have you,

I want to do a fun story if we go. Do you've seen this stuff about the art traffic cones and robotaxies in San Francisco? No. Uh, so San Francisco and some areas of the city are rolling out of robotaxies, which people hate them for lots of reasons. Like,

there's their regular urbanist reasons a lot of people hate them. Like, in L.A. absolutely will beat the shit of those lime scooters to see them laying around because everyone hates it. It was like gar. For the same reason, the people annoyably is robotaxes. Also, people resent drivers being put out of work, but also, like, their lives

being risked and a beta testing thing with these things rolling around the streets. Yeah. So we're just talking about driverless cars, right? Like, that, okay. So, but they figured out that if you put an orange cone on the hood of these things, it puts them on the fritz. The base of the light store, the hazard lights start blinking.

And the thing, the thing bricks like, like a computer from an orange traffic cone just setting on the hood of it yeah so people in people in the bay are posting a bunch of videos or the tutorials and telling everybody to do it's everybody's just fucking with these robot taxis and the companies are winding their asses up about it and just really made me laugh that's a it's a fun little bit of noncompliance because you're not causing any property damage or hurting anybody you're just annoying a fucking stupid tech bro that's like it feels like a bit of an engineering oversight to me if your whole thing can be taken down by a traffic cone.

Yeah, I'm not trusting my life to it. Farmer James says hit that like button false. Thank you, James. Appreciate that. Yeah, like, share, subscribe, to all that internet stuff. We appreciate you. Lauren Russell Pank says, Mark, they do not want to seriously investigate the corruption. Yeah.

I know, but like... Yeah. Like, there's an appetite for it. It's why Trump made one of his campaign slogans during the swamp. We all fucking know it's there. Emily, I was thinking a similar thing in one point. point when Mark was going over all that. Emily Budd says, how does one become one of these shady

as fuck human sources asking for a friend? I think that all the time when I'm like you're going over this guy's list of shady transgressions, all the stuff he's broker and fucking arms deals. He's always different countries and shit. I'm always like, how is that like, how do you end up there? How do you get into that racket?

What college do you go to or whatever? I think if you want to be believable as a source to the FBI that's worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, you probably have to have some connections to a shady underworld, a dangerous underworld element or like a foreign government that's an enemy. So I would say probably don't try to do that. Mike says, wish I was a human source.

A lot of people wanting that sweet, sweet FBI money out here in the comments. John Orbit Bainbridge has American Justice, colon, the richer you are, the more corrupt you are, the less guilty you are, less guilty you are found. Yes, it do be that way. Do it do. John is back. So sad fact, the courts are just as corrupt as the politicians and the lawyers, yes, becoming more evident by the day. What, uh, that, uh, that, uh, crazy Trump judge in Florida, uh, there's something with her going on.

Right. Judge Cannon, uh, she, they petitioned her to delay the whole thing until after the election. Until basically, like, if, uh, I didn't read the specifics, but the top line takeaways I read that where they're like, yeah, like, if she accepts their timeline, they'll be going to trial right around the election. election. So, yeah, he'll be, basically they're saying, can we delay the trial to like I can pardon myself if I'm convicted. And that's something she can just snap her fingers and do, I assume, and then they couldn't undo it.

I mean, the right to a speedy, the right to a speedy trial is the defendant. So it might even be like sort of the correct call. You know, I don't know, but like, it's like, it's going to be, yeah, I don't, I don't get over these people who don't mind looking fucking stupid for Trump. It's so weird to me. Like, why would you throw your life over a barrel for him? yeah no loyalty coming the other direction you fuck up in any tiny any tiniest way you go on chuck actin says it's like the entire house gop has the combined intelligence of harshal walker uh some

of them are are actually real smart they're just bad cori's got like a stand-up bit about that which i think it's like you know some of them are dumb as fuck don't get me wrong but some of them are like just shitty you know like you're not stupid they're just they're bad well some are just power hungry right but before we get that yeah yeah this lady roast you but the uh so uh that might be a dude sorry i don't know why i assumed um but the so the uh uh the i can't tell which ones are dumb and which ones are just cynical but also they they're all trapped in the same like it's called epistemic closure where you get you get the same bad information they all just watch fox news and newsmax so like right they the fact they don't understand that the rest of us can't

decipher them like either go read that intercept report to even understand what they're trying to say happen with Burisma and in the Bidens so it's just like it's very weird TVos 241 on YouTube says Nevadaan here the pronunciation is a very big deal well I do apologize it's one of those I just found out there was man what was it I just found out there was some other word that I had been saying wrong my whole life just the other day that happens to me a lot you know because I know a lot of words but I butcher a lot of them too oh it was a detritus you know detritus you know that word mark like yeah debris should basically trash whatever uh i'd

called it detritus my whole life i still prefer detritus really but you know it's not up to me anyway spinster says how's the rider's strike going mark uh what's the latest update i've been going down there and holding my sign and shit but i'm just waiting on them to tell me it's over or whatever yeah do you say there was a there's a texas day at disney the other day you said yeah at disney studios the picket picket lines it was texas day and i had my tennessee cap on and uh it wasn't deliberate but i felt like it seemed like it was because there were a lot of people there like who weren't texans but knew it was texas day so war texas shit is like solidarity like i like i like i like texas and i'm down there like fuck it because i don't know people don't even know

there's a weird relationship from tennessee with texas but texas don't even like know or care about it you know the only the degree what they care is just about the uh you know being grateful that you guys sent some guys to die out the Alamo. Yeah, right. That's pretty much the whole thing, yeah. Like, when I was in Texas once watching a UT game at a bar, there was a papal from Tennessee in there wearing an orange shirt. He clearly had printed himself.

And it said, if it wasn't for Tennessee, Yunns would all be speaking Spanish right now. Go valls. You know, so it's like that type of thing. Yeah. In Texas, we don't think about you at all. The last person asked how the writer's strike was going. That leads into this question.

Aaron McCulley asked, do you think SAG will strike? So there's no negotiation going on with the writers right now. They're just the AMPTP, right. They're just like, they walked away from negotiations. Even calling it a strike, we talked about this before, it's sort of a lockout because they refused to negotiate. So everyone's sort of been waiting to see what the writers were going to do. They voted, they gave a strike authorization a while back.

You mean the actors, right? Yeah, the actors. Yeah, the tag is going to do. Yeah. They voted, I think 65,000 of them voted out of 160,000 membership, which membership can be misleading because a lot of people, quit or retire, move on, you know, to give up on the business. So 65,000 people voted.

They had a 98% strike authorization vote. So they, they, they, they, but they, the deal was up, uh, two weeks ago, I think, but they gave an extension that ends tomorrow night. So a couple things could happen. The actors could accept a shitty deal, um, which then the, the negotiated committee would accept the shitty deal, which then the rank and file would have to vote on. Uh, they could extend the deadline again or they could fucking walk. I saw news stories before we hopped on here that the heads of Warner Brothers, Netflix, and Disney are trying to call in a federal negotiator to, like, force to all the strike, which I don't know what a negotiator would do, trying to get the government to pressure the actor.

He's just got like, I don't know, we'll call on the National Guard to shoot at Young Sheldon's feet to make him dance. I don't think they anticipated this level of solidarity or how fed up, but people were how scary they were of the ass stuff. from the future of technology of the release entertainment. So I don't, they seem to be a little bit shook in because a sag strike would shut down overseas productions,

which people are saying was what was their, you know, ace in the hole. Was they still have content coming through as long as filmed overseas? But yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen next.

I hope they vote to strike to make the AMPTP come back to the table and just everything ends sooner. Everybody can go back to work. Because I was having, hanging out the other day yesterday with a guy who's an IOTC, which is a sister union of like the technical people. He's an editor and like he hasn't worked in a while, man.

It sucks. Sucks for everybody. It does suck. Charles Ritt says, are you ever going to write a book? Okay. Well, seriously, I have written a book with Corey and Durey.

It's called the Liberal Redneck Manifesto. Me and Corey have written another book. They're not related, though. It's totally separate book. This book's coming out in September called Round Here and Over Yonder. It's a travel guide. It's a comedic satirical travel guide to the U.S. and also England and Scotland,

which we visited for the first time to write about in this book. So, yeah, you can pre-order that now if you go to tracruder.com. What about you, Mark? You were going to write a book? You want to write a book? You ever thought about writing a book?

No. Pilots, but these are about 60 pages, about the all heavy attention span for. So 60 pages, triple space, about the attention's paid for. Well, to plug your first book, well, it was a New York Times bestseller, right? You guys got to go in the view to talk about it,

then you. We did not make the New York Times by selling this. We made a couple of, like, there's a bunch of different lists. We made a couple of them. We did go on the view and talk about it. It's got a really, it's got a high rating on good reads and stuff like that. And it did, you know, it did fine. We'll see how this one does.

Dottie Kelly says Oregon, Oregon needs to be pronounced correctly too. It is Oregon, right? You're talking about people saying Oregon? Because who says that? It is Oregon, right, Mark? It's Oregon. I, sure. Dottie's got me thinking on it.

I've been to Oregon, and they say Oregon, I think. I thought it was Oregon, yeah. I've heard every now and then, you know, papal or something will say Oregon, but I've always thought like, well, that ain't right. I sure hope it ain't. I go to Portland every year. Love it. So if I've been saying the state correctly, Oregon.

Oregon or Rigan, that ain't really helping me much. Thanks, Armchair, QB. Willow. Willow. Okay, never mind. Sorry, Willow. Matt decided to know that one. Yeah.

Matt says it's time to go, I reckon, which he's, uh, he's not wrong. So go to tracrouter.com, get your tickets and check pre-order that book, if you so desire. That's a union man. He says, my shift's over, bitches. Yeah, it's over. Time to go. Pack it up, everybody. Tradecrouter.com for tickets, book stuff, all that good stuff.
