Plus, what is either the most genius or dumbest Democrat political strategy of all times, it's dealer's choice. Join us tonight on The Weekly Skews.Support the show

Good evening, everyone, it's Tuesdays, Tuesday, July 26th, 2022. I'm Mark Agee, not Troy Crowder, and joining me tonight is the Buttercream Dream, the chief hitting officer of World Trade Incorporated himself. Corrie Rand Forrest, how you doing, buddy? Hey, buddy, I'm good. How are you? Hey, everybody. Sorry if you're just now logging off because you saw me, but yep, I'm here for Trey.

He's on the road. I hope y'all are going to see him. But if you're not, I hope you're sitting in bed watching us. Yeah, there's a graphic Corey made of himself. Usurping Trey like he's the Mad King. Oh, that's the graphic I'm going to make next time, me on the Iron Throne. There you go. I got a cool picture of myself on the Iron Throne, the new one.

The new one for the Dragon Show. It's bigger and bad ass. at Comic Con last week. That was pretty cool. Like, sitting on a throat of death felt way better. I can see why it appeals to people. Yeah. It's funny.

You were at ComicCon and I was at home outlining notes for a podcast. I feel like we had switched roles completely. Do you have fun? Yeah, I did. I was only there for like a day and a half. Most of doing work stuff. That's enough. But it's definitely a scene.

I didn't get to see the hall later any of the big shit and get to go to the panels or see that, you know, the people clapping like like, like, like chimpanzees for trailers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I get hype for that. Like, I've always wanted to go because, like, but ComicCon is, regardless of if you're there, it's a huge day for like if you're a Marvel or DC fan

because they do announce all the stuff. And it's, I mean, you know, I get pretty hard. I get way more pumped about that than I do the NFL draft. And I'm a pretty big football fan, you know. Dude, it's not just nerd stuff anymore. Yellowstone had a Comic-com panel. Really? Yeah.

Oh, that's awesome. Everything's there. A couple things before we get to this show. So, Brooke, like, this evening, turns out Justice Department probing in January 6th is examining Trump shit. I don't know. Apparently, they got a hold to a bunch of records in April, and Mike Pence's chief of staff is the highest level of dude to testify for the grand jury. That's Mark Short. We're going to talk about him a little more in a second because he had a moment where he really hit this week.

A dude that used to work for Mike Pence really hit this week? Yeah, only because he's picking on somebody even more shitty, but we'll get to that. So New York Times also got a hold of a bunch of emails instead of the Trump campaign that came out today. And this is so it's, let me read this from you. This is your emails back and forth between Jack Willencheck and Boris Epstein, who is a bunch of local newsheads for Trump. Boris Epstein? Yeah. That is a Hollywood conjured villain name, if I ever heard one in my life.

Yep, yep, you got a Russian, yeah, definitely sounds like a, like a, like a Russian bobgoon. So, quote, we should just be sending in fake electoral votes to Pence so someone in Congress can make an objection when they start counting votes and argue that the quote, fake end quote, vote should be counted. That's from Willencheck to Epstein. And then Epstein, and then a follow-up email, Willencheck wrote, the alternative votes is probably a better term than fake ones, adding a smiley-faced emoji. So they're still on that Kelly Ann Conway shit. that is hilarious. Dude, that is admitting you're planning a crime.

Yeah. Cognizance of guilt and doing it a work email, which makes it a conspiracy. And I'm just like, that is such a, like, it's basic, forget all the other high-level electoral crimes. It's basic fraud.

You can't file a fake document with the fucking government if you're anybody but these assholes. I was about to say, like you get it from their perspective because of everything that they've already done and got away with.

They're like, guys, no, I know it seems like we shouldn't do this right out in the open. But like, I'm telling you, nothing ever really happens. Like, let's just do it. Dude, if you and me get caught shoplifting and we're within 40 yards of each other, we're going to hit with conspiracy to commit organized theft, like charge. Like, prosecutors are so fucking creative with charging anybody else. Like, we talked about the show before, but like, because a dude just got hit with a felony murder charge because he was a lookout for a shoplifter who a cop tried to shoot and missed him in a bystander.

And the lookout got hit with a murder charge, right? Dude. And these guys, or I can't, like, it's just like, I know we have a two-tier system of justice, but like, Jesus Christ, if you have more than $30 to rub together, you cannot go to prison. We talked about the last January 6th hearing on our Patreon episode that we taped Friday. I don't want to go too deep into it, but I do want to say, Corey, did you see the video of Josh Howley running away? You have to have seen it, right?

I haven't seen the video, but I saw, I saw everybody making jokes about, you know, like, of course I saw, like, him photoshopped on, like, Forrest Gump's head. That was pretty good. And it became, it became one of those things that I saw so much about it, uh, and didn't see the thing that now I'm like, I'm not going to see the thing. I'm, you know, I don't care to go back and look at the thing. But I, but I hear that he, uh, tuck tail and rant or some shit like that. Yeah, he, not only did he run, but he runs funny. And, uh, yeah, they made a, they did it. The thing that hit for me, we talked about this on Friday, but they did, they, they just, it had nothing to do with the, no information contained in it. It was just to embarrass him. They just made a meme. And it worked. People laid in a bunch of music over it.

All of it hit for me. In other news. Hold on, though. Like, this really happened, because you know that I made it, I joke about it, but it's true. The only time I learn about what's going on in the world is when I co-host skews and you tell me stuff. Otherwise, I don't know anything. I have always gotten Josh Collie. and Madison Caulthorne confused.

So when I saw that news, I was like, I was like, oh my God, it's a miracle. So it struck me a little bit different. You can walk again. Yeah. I know you had a bit you wanted to do, but I don't know anything about it, but before we get to that,

do you know who Lee Zeldon is, Corey? Lee Zeldon. No, I don't. I'm not familiar. Sounds like a Harry Potter teacher. All right. He is a MAGA congressman from Suffolk County, New York, who's running, he's the Republican nominee for governor in New York.

And he was doing a campaign event over the weekend, and a drunk guy stumbled on the stage and tried to take the mic out of his hand, and they got charged. I'll tell you what he got charged for a second because it's relevant. But he was holding like a kitty cat keychain. It's like, well, it's like it's made for, it's like brass knuckles, but it's made like a kitty cat, so it looks like a keychain, but anyway, he did have that on his hands, and I'm not going to say that the weapon's disguised the kitty cat. It is a weapon.

I'm not going to say it's not a weapon. People are like, oh, those pussies is afraid to get, getting hit with a kid. But it's like a weapon that women carry in parking garages, right? Like one of those gimmicks. Yeah, like, you know. Yeah. So he got tackled before he did anything. It's not really clear what he was up to.

He was just drunk and he has mental health issues. He's like a war veteran. He was somewhat confused and thought he was insulting veterans or somebody told it. It doesn't really matter. Lee's Eldon's main thing is running against New York's bail reform laws, which make no cash bail for like misdemeaters and nonviolent felonies. Because, I don't know, you shouldn't be held against your will in custody. when you haven't been convicted of a crime yet unless you're dating to others.

It's pretty straightforward. But they're on this thing where like you're being soft on crime. If you don't lock people up indefinitely, you haven't been convicted of anything. So the guy got released without bail, which Lee Zeldon made a big deal out of. But the thing is the prosecutor in that county, they were in Morgan County, I think, is a big Zeldon supporter who had hosted a fundraiser for him. she apparently created a fake made up lesser charge not a fake but a much rarely charged one an alternative charge yes attempted assault but doesn't qualify as a violent felony so therefore he'll be released without bail so then lee zeldman could say the guy that hit him wasn't being held because prosecutors again the prosecutor supports him is soft on crime i was going to say everyone involved in this is full of shit fuck them all i hate him so much i'm not going to say that the attack itself was a false flag if you're going to do a false flag attack you don't do it with the kitty cat key chain but everything they happen is since then is total

horseshit. Fuck Lee Zellon. All right. So you said you had some questions you want to ask. I do. I do. I have David Letterman style here. I've got some questions because as I said at the top of the show, the only time I get my news is from skews, specifically when I'm actually on here co-hosting.

So Mark, I'm going to need you to catch me up on what's going on in the world. I have three questions here. You can take as much time on them or as little time on them as you want. Number one, what's the deal with Ukraine? What's going on in Ukraine? I have no idea.

A bunch of people dying. Russia is running out of gas literally, and it's not quite clear. They can't really, they can't resupply their own troops, and all the equipment's busted because 40 years of corruption is like, they just go to start the tank and there's no engine in it because somebody sold it, shit like that, and we're giving them long way, the whole world's been given a long-range artillery so they can just hit Russian ammo depots, even in Russian deep territory so it's not like good like they could obviously just nuke ukraine but as far as a conventional unless they do like society-wide total war mobilization like you know go back to war two stuff or the

draft of women and children and everything i think they're probably i can't sustain us wherever much longer so but what they can do is cut off energy supplies to the west and uh keep ukraine bogged down where they can't because like 60% of the world's grain comes for ukraines they can starve Africa and Asia to punish the whole world from not just relenting and drive and, you know, drive up American inflation and make Americans more hungry too. So they can do that. So that's, that's their weapon of master destruction. They're setting on. It's freezing, freezing Germany in the winter and starving everyone else. So yeah, there you. Okay. Well, you sort of answered my second question there. Is Putin still alive?

Yeah, as far as I know. And my third and final questions, question, gas prices, good or bad? What's going on? I see that they were up, which of course everybody is like up bad when it comes to gas. Biden did that, you know, all them little stickers. Now gas price is going down, but somehow still bad. That's what I'm hearing. Yeah, I mean, and people don't like paying for stuff don't hit.

Right. Well, of course. And in general, one of things to be as cheap as possible. so it's definitely good at like gas prices are following following i just gassed up our car today it was still six dollars a gallon in los angeles but that's down for what it was but of course that could be just one gas because i don't pay attention to gas prices somebody just stopped me either i never because like they only differentiate one penny per you know like gas and and my and this is this is my privilege talking for sure i can i can uh i'll be the first to admit this is my privilege talking because

I'm not hurting for money, but like, when I go to get gas, it's just like, I mean, I'm filling up my tank regardless of what it says. So I'm not looking at it. You know what I mean? Look, I did that when I was broke as shit too, though. I just don't pay attention to stuff like that. Because, like there was one gas station in LA, the guy got caught. He, like, why your gas price is $8 a gallon? He's like, I don't know. I was just seeing people pay it. They did. Yeah, and they did. Because no one looks at it, right? Because we assumed, like you said, it's only like one or two pennies or maybe a five cents difference. It's not in five cents difference. He over 10 gallons, 50 cents.

Maybe they didn't want to cross the street for 50 cents, you know. Did you see where Staples got caught doing that shit? No, what they do? So, like, because of Amazon, like, places like Staples are not going to be, I can't believe they're around right now, but basically Staples knows that if you're running into Staples, it means that you don't have time to order something off Amazon. So they would have, like, Ethernet cables for like $900, where they're $15 on Amazon. But in their mind, they were like, if one person buys this, we're good.

And, like, of course some idiots did. Yeah. I mean, if, like, if insulin companies could do it, why can't fucking staples? There you go. All right. Let's get into it. Tonight we're talking about Democrats spending money to help Republicans because they're smarter than us. And we'll talk about that.

But first, let's talk. We've got plenty of dumbasses to get into Matt, graphic, please. all right tonight's dumbass uh it's not the funniest one i don't think but it is the most important because uh this has become somewhat of a meme on the right and uh i guess what's certainly i want to say the dumb tonight's daily dumb ass is women for not getting lip fillers before heading to plant parenthood matt hit the video have you watched these pro abortion pro murder rallies the people are just disgusting like why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions.

Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb. You can cut it, man. These people are odious on the inside and out. Dude, that is, that's literally Atticus Finch's defense and to kill a mockingbird as to why, as to why Miss Mayel didn't get raped. because who would want to do that? Like, that's literally straight from the book. Yeah, he's also talking about, like, you know,

just regular sex and stuff, which I don't know how to say this to Gates, who, let's be honest, ain't Tom Cruise. But, like, I'm a, you know, a pretty solid four, you're a six and a half. I just want to say straight up. Oh, thank you, Mark. I'd please be fucking, dude. We fuck.

Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Has he not looked around at his base? You know what I'm saying? Like ugly peep, ugly dumb asses meat, fuck, and they have little Republican babies. It's the way of the world.

I also think that pissed me off is this is like a really bad version of a George Carlin bit from like 30, 40 years ago. Yes. Like, he did the same opening bet in like three or four specials. It was like, how about the people that are most against abortion are people you wouldn't want to fuck in the first place, right? And it's funny when he says it. Yeah, because he has delivery and timing.

And also it was 34 years ago. And came from a good place. right yeah and is the correct target you know on behalf of people's freedom and so forth um but like i i don't know where to place like the idea yeah i don't even know what to say about it it's so fucking gross the idea like he's trying to be funny okay and again like you said it's a comedy bit from 30 years ago but like it just it doesn't track or make any sense because i'm not going to sit here and first off i've seen some real hot women protesting okay I have. I've seen some real hot ones. But regardless, like, the notion that ugly people don't

fuck is insane because that is how ugly people get made. And we have, and you remember the Seinfeld episode, 95% of the society, undatable, completely undatable. Like, most people are ugly. I'm a nine in Georgia, only in Georgia. You know what I mean? Yeah, I guess, so what you're talking about here is like natural selection, right? So if ugly people aren't reproducing, where are they know ugly people. That's part of it. But also, they don't believe in natural selection. So he must believe that only good-looking people are having sex and guys are just out here making ugly people.

Sure. Yeah, exactly. God. God. So remember he talked about Mark Short at the top of the show, Mike Pence's chief of staff? Oh, yeah. You got to hit this week. Yeah, yeah. So let's watch him here because he got a pretty good burn in on Matt Gates. There you go. Our America is proudly ultimate. Ultra-Maga, not some low-energy roadside rhino safari.

On that note, let me just say what everybody here knows. Mike Pence will never be president. Nice guy. He's not wrong there. No, it's true. He's not wrong. Mark? Well, I don't know if Mike Pence will run for president of 2024, but I don't think Matt Gates will have an impact on that. In fact, I'd be surprised if he was still voting.

it's more likely he'll be in prison for child sex trafficking by 2024 boom I'm actually not in the law enforcement still allows him

to speak to teenage conferences like that you can turn out Matt I'm not sorry about me by like CNN standards that's deaf jam comedy shit yeah as soon as you said that

I was like that is like that is like live at the Apollo when the dude comes out and hits you with the shepherd's dick like that's pretty that's a walkoff right there yeah sandman

man the sandman but we've come to show. Yeah, the Sandman. Yeah. Love the Sandman. All right. Moving on. Our next Daily Dumbass honorable mention is Vince McMahon for being too big of a pervert to be available to produce this shit.

Hit it, man. Or maybe not. Here we go. That is. The Undertaker's theme song. is the Undertaker's team song being played before Donald Trump's rally in Arizona over the weekend. And I'm glad we had the Buttercream, Buttercream, Dream himself will I'm to talk about this, because we're going to talk about wrestling for a minute.

So the Undertaker's... I bet it's going to be longer in a minute, buddy. What? So Undertaker's, Undertaker's Kayfay Brothers Kane, right? He's not the Undertaker's brother in real life, or is he? He's not the Undertaker's brother in real life. Glenn Jacobs, K.A. Kane, a.k.a. Isaac Yankham, which was his first character, who was a badass dentist. No, they're not brothers. They're not brothers in real life. But they are brothers in Christ, I believe, and in Trump. Okay. So, so the Undertaker's brother, which is his real name, Corey? What's Keynes were named? Glenn Jacobs.

Glenn Jacobs is now like the mayor of some city in Tennessee. Knox County. Knox County. So the Undertaker's brother went into politics and the president became the Undertaker. That's where America is at right now. and they also played a remix of Hulk Hogan's music if you have that Matt you put you that up now because I don't know what the fuck there is doing because they are one's a heel one I guess Hogan went heel for a little bit in NWD.

He was just as famous as a heel as he was a baby face I mean with the NWO in arguably Yeah yeah that's probably his heyday I guess you play right I am a real American Fight for the rights of every man I am a real American

Fight for your rights Fight for your rights Sorry, I get hype The funny thing about this one is they didn't just play it once They had to play it twice Because he played it this first time And then Trump was two hours late They had to restart the rally and play it again

Where was this rally at? Arizona He was promoting Carrie Lake who's running for governor and Blake Masters, who's Peter Thiel's puppet, who's running for the Senate against an astronaut guy. I can't remember his name right now. Mark something.

Astronaut guy. Yeah, the senator used to be an astronaut. His wife's the one, the congressman who got shot. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Oh, during that softball game? No, that was a Republican MC police. The guy, Gabby Giffords is the one that got shot in Arizona. She was a congresswoman in Arizona.

Mark Kelly. Mark Kelly, that's it, yeah. So Trump's speech was very long and stupid. It's not really working. too. Oh, come on. He once again suggested executing drug dealers,

which a lot of drugs, some drug dealers are mean and cruel. You got your El Chapos, your, you know, Omar from the, sorry, Marlow from the Wire. But most drug dealers,

people like them. Yeah, right. They suck of drugs at a very federal price. I'm not sure we should be given him a death, Tony. And Carrey Lake called him a Superman. She literally,

she called Trump, and she sort of said he could fly, which is wild. He also did his war on Christmas, we're on Christmas bit in fucking July. Well, Christmas in July, baby, we're heating up for it. That's the one that, like, it's never going to go anywhere. And my argument to it will always be the same.

And it's the most logical thing in the world. It's like, dude, first off, no one gives people, when people say happy holidays, it's not removing Christmas. It's including everything. Also, I know plenty of people. I still say Merry Christmas. I'll say both. I'll say Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas.

Because I've never heard anyone, no matter how. how left wing or whatever they are if they hear Merry Christmas go, excuse me, what did you just say to me? Like, never, never once. It completely, Christmas at this point transcends religion. Christmas is a motherfucking hallmark holiday. It is a hallmark holiday, completely driven by corporations.

In this world, capitalism always wins. Fucking cinema is going to come out with 19 Christmas movies this year in which they will all say Merry Christmas. as long as you can make money off of Santa Claus's fat fucking ass, we're going to say Merry Christmas. Shut the fuck up, you lying, fearmongering, dipshit, and Merry Christmas. It would be funny. I got a quick story about that a second,

but it would be funny if to counteract that, like Muslims change Ramadan into a holiday where you give 30 days worth of, like, expensive TVs and shit. And the Best Buy was make us employees, wish everyone happy Ramadan. That would be great. Drive people insane. Let's say you win that capital. some more um

the second thing is like i bag groceries i was in high school and it's just like in the holidays just getting to have a same Merry Christmas or whatever of course and uh we have one Muslim uh group community and in my little small town i don't if they homeschooled the kids or whatever because never saw him in school but like you know they they only knew they were a Muslim because they had they had were head wraps and dressed in jibs and they'd be come in the grocery store and one day i bided her groceries and i was like Merry Christmas and i felt like a huge dumb ass immediately because we wish to have it. And you know what they said?

Merry Christmas? Thank you. Yeah, right. Dude, I'm the least, I'm the least religious person that I know, like, in my, in my hometown. And I get hyped for Christmas because, again, like, it has completely transcended. I'd say that most people in the world when they hear Merry Christmas, the first thing they think of isn't Jesus's birthday, even if they're super religious, because Christmas is just a time when people are out of school and like you know Hollywood shut down for for us at least like it's fun again if I heard somebody go up please don't say Merry Christmas to me I would be pissed off

at them you know what I'm saying like just it's but no but nobody is doing that like no one on earth is doing that there's probably some bugly annoying person who probably is like excuse me it's happy but but fuck them yeah fuck then they write for Jezebel who gives a shit we don't listen to them. My favorite bit Trump did was this weird thing, and I guess the Honorary Dumbass here is the honorable mention

daily dumbass is racist for leaving their doors unlocked, because otherwise this doesn't make any sense. You got this video man. You're very Hey, Joe, you're very popular, Joe. You're probably Sheriff Joe Alpio. What are the

Oh. It was the nice days. You had Sheriff Joe, and you had no problems with illegal immigrants pouring into your living room. He's tough. But he's fair. Back when Sheriff Joe was around, you had no problems with illegitlamrants coming in your living

room, stealing your Hulu passwords. It was really railroaded. He was really railroated. Deleting your shows off your TV. This is like, uh, uh, uh, God, I don't even know, like, first of all, Apayao was a sheriff. He shouldn't even be doing immigration enforcement.

Yeah, right. He was a county. His responsibility is stuff like, you know, evicting people from their houses. That's what the sheriff's deputies do. But he, instead, what he did was he ran those prison work camps where he made the, the prisoners wear, like, you know, pink uniforms while they did slave labor.

So that's what they think being a conservative is now. And next to honor mentioned Daily Dumbass is, is the hamburgler for losing his number one spot in the hamburgling rankings. I don't know. Then they have me throwing food. Throwing food in the White House. I don't throw food in the White House.

I don't throw food anywhere. I eat the food, which is a proper. His timing is amazing. You might not know what was referring to, Corey. There was a story about the ketchup on the wall. Yeah, yeah, Cassidy Hutchinson or whatever her name was, who was a Mark Meadows, Chief of Staff, testified in the January 6th committee that he got so mad when he saw that Bill Barr

had said the election wasn't stolen, that he threw his food against the wall and ketchup ran down it. Let's do this last one, Matt. Then we'll move on because I think we've got to get to the segment. The dumbass here is drugs for not winning the world on drugs in this one exact case. This one hits for me. Did we lose Matt?

Yeah, I think we're having a little bit of technical difficulties here. Oh, yeah, he said, give me like 30 seconds. Got to check my internet. Well, hey, while we got 30 seconds, y'all should check out my new podcast, putting on airs with Trey Crowder, the guy I'm filling in for. It's a show where two hillbilly dipshits talk about fancy people culture. I think you'll really like it.

Here we go. Yeah, what was the last episode on, Corey? The last episode we did was on. That is a good question. I don't remember. Oh, Princess Dian, the marriage of Princess Diana and Charles and Trey did the Venn diagram between fancy people and rednecks and the subject was fishing. So, very fun episode.

I do want to, yeah, there it goes, putting on airs. I do, the Princess Dye thing, like, if you look at it through another lens, so Charles is in love with Camilla Porka Bowls the whole time, right? The whole time. and was very open about it with Princess Die. Yeah, and so, but his mom wouldn't let him marry Camilla because she didn't look like a princess or whatever. So she did this arranged marriage with Princess Die. And through it all, he maintained his burning passion for Camilla and Markle Parker Bowles.

And eventually, like, if you, if you squit just slightly differently, it's a true love story about Chris Boyle. No, I agree, man. Like, I came out of all my research feeling completely different about Charles. It's like, look, he was open with her the whole time. He's like, listen, I love Camilla Parker Bowles. It's just that she's, and it was only because she wasn't a virgin. Like, that was it. She wasn't a virgin.

She was a woman about town, so he couldn't be with her. So he was like, I'm going to marry you, the virgin, and I'm going to step out, as it's called, with Camilla Parker Bowles. I'm happy for the guy. Rich people romance is always different. And the only part that bothers me, as you know, Prince Andrew. But, all right, so now we're going to talk about the world. Again, a rim resetting. The dumbass here is drugs for losing the war on drugs this one occasion.

There we got, Matt. You know, in politics over, you know, the last 10, 20, 30 years, no one became. I mean, Matt, yeah. Don't worry about it, Matt. So that's Michael. Well, I can, I can, I can, I didn't. No one was looking at what they're doing. I certainly didn't.

I was on crack. Right. That's a good excuse. I can't really use that. Honestly, good joke. It is a good joke. Like that was, I mean, fuck that guy, but like, you can't not. I mean, at least he's honest.

And I got to tell you, I don't know if I've told you this, Mark, and I feel ashamed to this. In my wrestling group chat, where we all, like, trade belts and stuff and talk wrestling, we do, every year we do a secret Santa. And the guy that drew my name last year, because he knows that, like, I, you know, I'm a, a liberal queer, as they call me. He got me a my pillow. That's the thing that he got me.

And can I tell you, Mark? Phenomenal. Even if you were on crack, you could get a good night's sleep on the my pillow. I'm here to tell you. The man didn't sleep for like 10 years because he was on crack. You didn't want a good night's sleep when he got off of it. It really would be an American dream story

if he didn't use all the millions he made selling what I had always assumed but you just inform me your awesome pillows. If it wasn't for the thing where he'd used all that money to try it over to the election. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, he sucks. But again, the man, the man, there's a reason he had all that money.

You know what I mean? That's all I'm saying. Yeah. All right. With that, buy my pillow. We have a coupon code. I'm just kidding. Tonight we're talking about,

I've been reading a series of stories that infuriate me for reasons we're going to explain. Democrats have been fundraising a bunch of money. And what they're doing, that money is using it to buy ads to support Republicans in primary campaigns. We'll start with this one. This is our open secrets. Political groups and nonprofits in line with the Democratic Party has spent $44 million

to boost the profile of far-right candidates. Democrat strategy is rooted in the belief that these candidates will be easier to defeat in the general election. I haven't heard that before. Have I heard that before? 2015, 2016? Yeah. They've been doing this.

It's going to be a cakewalk, guys. Don't worry about it. Yeah, yeah. So one of these cases especially egregious to me when we get to that later on. But like they did this in Maryland. They pretty much picked the Republican nominee for Maryland who probably won't be a problem because it's Maryland. It's a pretty blue statement. They have a Republican governor right now. That's Larry Hogan, who's anti-Maga and, you know, says and does all the right stuff. He's frivolously corrupt, which we have time to get into right now. They've elevated Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania, who's probably going to lose to Josh Shapiro. they don't know Blake Masters in Arizona and they the thing that is crazy to me they've also blew a bunch of money they

blew a bunch of money on Republican primary guys who lost right it had no hope of winning so they just lit money on fire and this is like I just remind everybody that like state legislatures are making a lot of important decisions right now around stuff like abortion, and those seats are much, much cheaper to influence and buy. And so the price of one, the $44 million they spent elevating mackaloons, they could have like won a bunch of state legislature races instead of just trying to make their lives slightly easier at the statewide level. Do you know what I'm saying?

Yes, and it's just the other side of the coin of the thing that, in my opinion, Democrats always do, which is like they never spend any time trying to, I won't say, rebrand themselves, but like instead of spending time working on the brand, figuring out how they can make their constituents happy, they spend all of their time and energy into focusing on the Republicans and shit like that. Does that make sense? Yeah.

Like, just do, you're, like, you should be trying to invigorate the Democratic vote, and they have done the absolute worst job of that for nearly my, I mean, my entire adult life, like, you know, Obama, obviously that was a craze.

But since then, it has, the Democrats' pitch has always been, at least we're not insert this. person here. You know what I mean? Like that's it. That's like let's let's highlight how crazy this person is. Just fucking, why don't you spend that money on

campaigning and actually trying to come through and fulfilling the promises that you make that make me vote for you reluctantly, you dumb motherfuckers. Like, why? There's a group, I can't forgive me, I can't remember the name of the organization right now, but there's a socialist organization in Appalachia. What they do

is they go around, they do like Habitat for Humanity stuff. It's like, oh, you're, you need your forts fix. We'll come fix your porps. They don't talk about politics. They just go around helping people, right? Right. And it builds community support and trust. Just thinking about that the Democrats took that to $44 million and, say, paid a bunch of, like, bought some lawnmowers and staffed up some landscaping crews and went around and mowed old people's yards.

Yes. Yes, dude. That's a great. No, that's perfect. Like, that, I know that you just kind of pulled that out of your butt, but, like, that's great. Like, actually do some good. Like, I just, I mean. I know, I have to believe that these democratic strategists are smarter people than me and you,

because if they're not, then me and you are sorely underpaid and undervalued in society. So I have to believe that they are. But dude, paying, giving money to republic, like, I can't find any world in which this makes any a modicum of goddamn sense. Yeah, I mean, they, it's not that they're not smart. It's just that when you're a campaign consultant who makes your money off ad buys and you go to them and say,

I have an idea to spend $44 million on ad buys, let me do it, and they pay you to run the ad buys. You were smart in the sense you created a job for yourself and made a bunch of fucking money for yourself. That's true. Whether you're smart winning elections is a whole different thing, and that's why the whole consultant class

needs to go get real jobs. And it's possible that they were working on Republican campaigns four years ago. Because these dudes get traded out like the writer's room for WWE man like it's a rotating dormer yeah I know I knew a guy who got hired for WWE and fired three days you can't even fuck up bad I know you fired three days let's just set something on fire I know a girl who literally got same thing got hired and fired and I think it's four days so she beat it right the one that pissed me off the most was in

Illinois for a lot of reasons one is the bulk of the spending they spent 35 million dollars in ads alone in Illinois the government and come back this is a race where the incumbent is Democrat, J.B. Pritzker. He's pretty popular. There's no rumors that him running for president. I don't know how far he'll make it than that. J.D. Pritzker? J.B. Pritzker. Not going to win.

I'm just telling you. Yeah. I'm just being real here. Like Pritzker, it's not going to do it right now. I wish, but, you know. Obama pulled it off, but of course, he's a once-in-a-generation. Dude, you can't. Right. Outlier amongst outliers. So he's the incumbent in a very blue state. This should be a layup race if Republicans dug up fucking Dwight Eisenhower

and ran him against this guy, right? But instead, what it is, they spent $35 million elevating the magaloon over top of the centrist Republican. This is the, it's believed the most money ever spent by a rival political party on another political race.

Which is like, of course it is. one other idiot would spend $35 million on an opponent, I'm picking their own opponent, um, am I the only, am I the only one who thinks it's super dangerous for them to be operating under the guys that the far right lunatics are fringe? You know what I'm saying?

Like they don't, do they not realize now that that's the majority of those people? I think, I, I watch to fascinate exchange, um, uh, Ben Collins is a reporter, I read a lot of part.

I'm up for it. He covers disinformation and extremism for NBC news. And Nate Sore was going on about how he doesn't think QAnon actually influences anybody's politics. And he was like, Nate, please go out and talk to people in the real world. Just please. Yeah, right. What they think is wild. And like, been out of the take the other day, it's like people are going to focus group

all this stuff and be surprised that people vote and not realizing like 40% in the country has been on telegram workshopping legal ways to feed Anthony Fauci to dogs. right it's just like so like the idea but elevate the lunatic candidate is going to make them less electable it doesn't necessarily ring that true to me considering I think Hillary probably walks a dog

walks a dog on Ted Cruz in 2016 you know what I'm saying yeah for dude he was the only one that was going to beat her yeah you know what I mean and they didn't realize that because unhingedness reads authenticity to a lot of people because why would you fake that

right like Trump got him excited like Ted Cruz has never gotten anybody excited except yeah except for maybe the man who sells fucking white under shirts at the goodies you know what I mean but yeah maybe the guy who likes uh who likes it when Ted watches and fuck Ted's wife maybe that guy

yeah yeah I was he a cook is he a famous cook I don't know both of them are I know Roger Stone and uh is and so is Paul Manafort So the Republican race was between these two guys, Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin, who is more of the centrist guy, and the far-right candidate who's endorsed by Trump is a state senator, Darren Bailey. Prisker's ad by the primary was more than triple what Bailey had raised for his own campaigns. He spent three much his time, Pritzker's campaign spent three times the money getting Darren Bailey the nomination, then Darren Bailey spent getting Darren Bailey the nomination. All right.

My God. And the thing is, the campaign ad they cut. This is an anti-Ritchard Irvin attack ad is fucking gross. And I want you to see what I'm talking about. Here's the ad that Prisker campaign. Richard Irvin's real record on crime for 15 years. Irvin has been a defense lawyer profiting by defending some of the most violent and heinous criminals. Domestic abusers and sexual assault.

A kidnapper who molested a child, reckless homicide, even accused child poor. urban's been getting rich by putting violent criminals back on our streets tell richard urban to stop pretending to be tough on crime and start supporting policy yeah you get the every lawyer defends shitty people that's that's the game you know what I mean like what are you talking about like every single if shitty people have rights none of the rest of us do either that's the point of the fucking bill of rights right so we can't we just like we just went out a two-year conversation about how people get railroaded for crimes they didn't do And you have, like, this guy is accused of a crime.

How dare he get a defense? Also, the fact that Irvin is a black dude, so is Bailey, by the way. But this, that feels racially tense, right, in a way that's not quite as bad as Willie Horton ad, but it's pretty fucking bad, right? Right. Yeah, for sure. Is that just in my head? Anyway, so a little bit about Richard Urban, because if you want our politics to get more sane,

when you actually find a decent Republican who's wanting to have an actual intellectual debate with you about the issues and a state that isn't overwhelmingly democratically anyway, it seems like you should let the guy win if he has a shot at winning to tap down the craziness of the party because when other candidates look at who,

like how should I run to win to a Republican primary, should I run like Richard Irvin or should run like Darren Bailey, you want them to run like Richard Irvin because he's not a fucking lunatic. And also, like I was trying to research in his background outside of some weird crooked money shenanigans you know, like stuff like, you know, he was a mayor who followed some money to a campaign donor,

like some contracts for a campaign donor and use some city machinery to help out a client of his wife's or stuff. That's normal American corruption. It sucks, but it's utterly banal, right? That's the biggest thing you find wrong with him. A little bit about his bio. He's a son of a single mom, graduate from public high schools, public college, served in the army in the Gulf War, which, you know, I don't think anybody should all have to do that,

but it's usually a resume booster for a guy running for office. For sure. Went to law school. He's worked as a substitute teacher and a college professor. And after he graduated in law school, he served as an assistant state's attorney for the Cook County State's Attorney's Office and the King County State Attorney's Office. He was named Aurora's first community prosecutor, an alternative law enforcement strategy designed to improve police relationships with residents and develops solutions to drugs, prostitutions, and other quality of life crimes. As a prosecutor, he joined the U.S. Department of Justice's weed and seed program, which aimed to both aggressively combat crime and specified areas, but also provide redevelopment and social services. What I'm saying is for Republican, he sounds like a pretty sane, normal, nice dude. I was about to say, all those are, that's some pretty good bona fides, no matter how you shake it.

You know what I mean? Yeah. And this is the guy they didn't want to run against. This is the guy who, they'd rather risk handicies to the government office to this guy instead. And I put this in the outline under it. Do you need it to be this fucking easy? Because Bailey is a goddamn lunatic. He was a endorsed by Trump rose to prominence in Illinois politics when he co-sponsored a bill that proposed allowing rural Illinois to separate from Chicago and form a quote new

Illinois state. That was his big entree to politics, was trying to succeed rural Illinois in Chicago. That's always gone real well for everybody. Yeah. He's hardcore against abortion rights and in the alternative

Irvin says he's pro-life but he isn't really real loud about it and says he doesn't he reviews us to talk about what he doesn't support like a national right to life bill or at least won't say he you know yada yada yada he says there shouldn't be any separation shirts in state and he painted the door of his campaign bus with the bible verse ephesians 610 to 19 it's calls for followers to wear god's armor and battle against quote evil rulers end quote Pritzker again gets you'll know his value blue state he beat a republican incumbent in 2018 55 to 39 He does not need a layup like this.

Right. Yeah, right. He burned $35 million. It could have been used for anything else to pick this guy to run against. Build a homeless chateau with $35 million. Yeah, with a Playboy Grotto for the homeless people. Fuck it. Before campaign interference, remember what happened to July 4th at Big Highland Park Shooting,

which is big news in Illinois? Bailey was on a live stream right after that happened and said, the shooter is still at large. So let's pray for justice to prevail. And then let's move on and celebrate the independence of this nation. And he got roasted for it to apologize. So the shooter was still at large. And he was saying to move on.

Guys, this is old news. Don't you guys know that there's probably another mass shooting going on right now as we speak? Can we let this one go? Yeah, move on. It's time for you guys to keep spiling forward and upward further and beyond. to you, yeah, yeah, yeah, that shit. So, the only know about this race is, like, a lot of these in the Midwestern states are

politics of control by rivaling billionaire factions, and there were two billionaires facing off in the primary, and the billionaire that won via Bailey is a guy named Richard Euler. It's Euler spelled E-U-H-E-L-E-L-I-N, sorry, E-U-H-L-E-I-N. I looked at the pronunciation because I'll make sure I got it right. Richard E-E-Line is the heir of the Schlitz-Bier fortune. Oh.

He has an unlimited amount of money to spend on this. And this is the guy J.B. Pritzker chose to risk giving the governor's mansion, too. I was a big fan of their gay beer. Do you remember that one? Oh, yeah. It was a Farley sketch, Slits gay beer. Yeah. That was a funny premise because it was like we did a regular beer commercial where you drink the beer and a hot, cool, cool people in bikinis show up, but they were dead.

So it's funny. So I guess the question here is, what the Democratic? party's up to. The answer is how much do you trust them to win elections? Because I don't have a lot of faith. And they're really to actually follow through and do it. They're like this. They're juggling chainsaws here and like

the knowledge I came up with is like this is like you're swimming in shark-infested waters like trusting a lifeguard to protect you. And you look up in a lifeguard is drunk in water wings and his plants and saw shum in the water to encourage you to swim faster. Right? And yeah, and the and the sharks

are paying him. You know, like it's like it's one of those situations where the sharks are slipping of money being like hey come on we help you you help us yeah because like they're worried well turnout might be too low well we got to scare the voters but making the stakes of this so horrific if they don't vote they'll be afraid they'll fucking die and that's like their plan and you could just do stuff for people i mean to me you've you said it right there to me that seems like and like it's looking back it's like it's always been this and duh it's always been this but never has it been more apparent to me that all democrats want to do is nothing so that they can use the nothing that they did

to say listen do you know how much worse it's going to be if you don't vote in november and it's like you said this to us last time and we voted for you and the thing that was not supposed to happen just happened because there's about to be a fucking primary do you think that we're idiots i mean we're being treated like morons here. And that's what really, really upsets me because, I mean, I vote Democrat because all the things that they say that they're going to do, I like those things. They don't do them, but all the boxes, when you check off all the, and that's, that's the issue. I, I, I hate Republicans for the things that they do, and I hate Democrats for the things that they don't, if that makes sense. And it's just every, every,

fucking time, man. Well, if you don't vote this time and we want, what? You're not going to codify some other bullshit that you said you were going to. I mean, I'm going to fucking vote again, but it's a never-ending cycle. Pete, repeat, Pete, repeat. Yeah. I would say, I think it would have done more for turnout. They used that $44 million to run some ballot initiative campaigns and a bunch of different states

and get a constitutional rights to, state constitutional rights to abortion on a bunch of ballots for this fall. That probably would have got to turn out and helped real people a lot more than paying consultants, $44 million. One last case we're talking about Democrats doing this shit is we talked a lot about Peter Meyer before. He's a Republican from Michigan, who one of the first things he did in Congress was vote to impeach Trump. And his life's been hell ever since. And Democrats look at him and like, well, that might be a seat we can pick off if we get a little weaker candidate.

So they're spending a bunch of money to elevate the MAGA election turning guy over top of one of the few senior Republicans who voted, impeach Trump. Trump only endorsed a challenger precisely because Meyer did not vote to overturn the election. Again, this is a guy, like, you'd been in Congress for three days during the fucking

insurrection. They're spending $425,000 to put a bunch of ads. That was his first week of work, was the insurrection? Jesus Christ. Marjor Taylor Green had even been sworn in. Yeah, it was already going to election overturning me.

So it's also her first week. So the only thing is this is a, Meyer won the district 53, 47, and 2020. So it is a Republican district, but not like hugely. And they also got, the district maps got redrawn to me a little bit more competitive. So it is theoretically possible that this could help Democrats pick up this seat. But if you don't. Yeah, right.

You've made the country and Congress significantly worse. So I guess don't fuck it up Anyway, so the last one I would tell you about We mentioned the mission as governor's race I just wanted to mention this because they happened yesterday It's pretty funny So Trump was pushing a guy named Dan Cox who's a magal lunatic

And he did win the primary Not Where is this? Maryland So Maryland's a blue state It's pretty safe anyway But Trump Put out this statement yesterday

After New York Times There's some story about his power of the party waning. One of the third-rate columnists wrote a story on Saturday saying that despite almost universal victories in every major race, which isn't true, Trump may be losing his power. That article written by Ross Dauphan doesn't cover, quote,

minor events like the fact that on Tuesday in the Great State of Maryland, Dan Cox, a person not known but strongly endorsed by me. He endorsed and disown this motherfucker in the same time because he knows he's going to lose. oh god anyway larry hogan came out and said he's not voting for cox even though he's a republican governor in maryland so cox is probably toast but how how was it for trump right there to say that knowing that by saying that it means even though i endorsed him still not a lot of people know

or give a shit about him this this total piece of shit comma who i endorsed i like i love i love trump's in its constructions because it's like what dude again i we've gotten trouble for it before and i trust me the him being a uh a global catastrophe far outweighs it, but the guy's hilarious. Like, I, like, I'm glad that he's not on Twitter, but I do love the, like, it's like he,

it's like he puts out a special once a week, you know what I mean? It's, it's the big, long thing. They're always hilarious. Like, obviously, the John Bolton one was the funniest, but, like, yeah, true brings it up a lot of, yeah.

The guy's funny as shit in a horrible way. I don't, I can, sometimes he's funny on purpose. Most time he's not funny on purpose. That was not on purpose. That was just, I'm trying to, like, He's a brilliant same thing as you can take either way.

Like you'd say, either he's saying he's giving up on this guy or he's endorsing it. It's both things at the same time. Yeah. All right, Matt, look for some comments. We'll throw up on the screen and he got him. So Trump gave a speech in D.C. today where he talked about homelessness. And is he pro it? Is he pro homelessness?

It didn't use a dumb ass because the speech itself wasn't funny. There was one really funny moment, which I'll get to. But he was talking about how to deal with homelessness. And he talked about designing. a bunch of like camps on the edge of cities with drug counselors and jobs programs and stuff and building them nice tents. And I was like, hurting people in a tent cities is horrific. Right.

But how many people are actually proposing anything? It's like, gee, like the herding is the bad part. If you set up like a place for people to go and to get help, that's awesome. But yeah, when you're talking about move force. That's called a social program and we love those and would like to do more of them. and we could probably put some of our 33 to 44 fucking million dollars that we give some dipshit into that instead. Yeah.

Guy Kervik says, don't forget that like by you hit like and subscribe and all those things that Trey always forgets because he's a huge fucking dumbass and he ain't going to see this. He's just such a big star, man. Those are not things that Trey can do. I swear to God, that motherfucker, he's been doing stand up for like, well, I guess if I've been doing it 18 years, he's been in at like 12 or something like that. And he's been internet.

famous for six and still has not learned one more new thing about how the internet works since the day it made him famous. Dude, learning new stuff does not hit. I do not like it. So the funny part of the, Kim Casado says it was Schmitzke, not Schlitz. That's right. You're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're right. Good fact check. I love a little fact, Chris Prerley fact check. So the funny part of the homeless thing, this speech was only aired on Newsmax because the only channel he hears Trump speeches. So right in the middle of his time about homelessness and how to fix it by her. hurting people in the camps and gunpoint to help them a gold coin commercial slides into half the screen and it's like with so-and-so purchases of so amount of mega merch you get a free gold

commemorative gold coin so while he's talking about helping the poorest of poor people the lowest of the low a lot a bunch of boomers are like if I buy three more mega hats I get a gold gold coin oh god uh some other healthscape news will ask in some more comments. I knew this is going to, this is a comment because we talked last, a couple weeks ago about the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade's going to bleed into free speech stuff. South Carolina state senator has introduced legislation who would make it illegal

to host a website or provide an internet service with information that is reasonably likely to be used for an abortion and directed at pregnant people in the state. So I'm not sure how they're going to enforce that. Imagine if you host a website in California, South Carolina is going to try to you to try you for conspiracy to commit. Again, prosecutors are really creative. Yep, they are. When it comes to people, they want to prosecute.

Which is the messaging be for Dems leading up to November? They don't lead into culture worth stuff enough, and I don't necessarily mean going toe to toe with them, like right on their own merits. But, like, absolutely, these people are too insane to be trusted with the rights to power. And Jesus said be nice to people. don't go out of your way

to punish them and be cruel all that shit like these people are not living up to anything they say they're irresponsible and one party when they take power they're not going to relinquish it

and one party rule makes everything more corrupt in every country more poor you're going to be paying a tax for authoritarian rule if you let these motherfuckers have power that'd be what I'd lean into but they're going to talk about

kitchen table issues like we're going to save you 3% on your drug prescription drug costs if you buy carbon offsets for your trans teens or something. It's going to be something weird like that. Because that's all they fucking know how to do is like do word salad about obscure programs

to make no set of access. They just go back to your roots and start talking about how you're the fucking party of the working man, for God's sakes. Like it couldn't be more clear. Like we're pro-union. We're pro-health care. All this shit. Just lean into that instead of, and I'm not saying that this is something that we shouldn't do,

but instead of every single thing you say being like, and we will, we will not dead name you were call you by the wrong pronoun that's great i'm glad but like you there's so many of these burning motherfuckers that would have been on your team but they failed to trump because you don't speak for them anymore and all you do is talk about how shitty these other people are they're met you know here's what the democratic messaging should be come this november a message any message at all that's not hey don't vote for them you fucking assholes i think like so the thing that Trump and Obama both had in common was there outsider candidates. They could credibly run as outsider candidates.

Obama had been against the Iraq war and Trump had never had a job before, much less in politics. But like, people like when you run against the establishment. Now, I know it's hard to do when you're in power, but it's very easy to do in America because corrupt businesses control everything. So if you just ran against big business and

it followed through, give us five more votes, we'll raise the minimum wage, we'll codify row, we'll do these things. And then when you take power, actually fucking do them. Corey's right that they don't follow through enough or not it's not that they wouldn't like to like

they've been running on like Medicaid Medicare they don't negotiate prescription drug prices since 2006 in the party platform since 2006 they had a unified traffic to control of the government 2008 to 2010 didn't pass it because you know Joe Lieberman didn't want to or whatever and like you can't have something in your platform

for 16 fucking years and never even credibly trying to pass it because they're Credibly trying to pass it doesn't mean like introducing the bill and then it getting 50 votes and then saying that's not enough. You have to like a boss, the filibuster and actually you got to push with stuff with your whole chest. Yeah, right. Because otherwise people think you don't mean it or you don't care enough. Like going back to like kitchen table issues, being warm-hearted and generous in your private life about social stuff, like, pronouns, your bio, all that stuff is perfectly well and good.

But if you raise the middle wage, no else's wages go up, trans people, gay people. Exactly. Like, it's like, you get, it helps people buy medicine, helps people, be, you're safer from the world when you have more money. You just are. And like, so like, I don't know, man. My question would be like, just do stuff. Yeah, there's anything.

Like Biden being asleep, being asleep in the wheel on judges or he was doing good on judges for the first year. So then completely gave up on it. like these aren't just like you know like uh social causes it's like judges decide stuff like when you sue your employer what rights do you have you know what I'm saying how much contamination can be in your kid's pool uh T T Grenfell says these corporate dams are too scared to back up working people I like they're just centrist I think I'm talking about this before but centrist is like a personality type not an ideology you just want everyone to calm down and so like when

one side's yelling and one side is once everybody to not yell, what you end up with is the yelling side running everything. Yeah, for sure. The side that, like, it's only one side ever says, I'm going to reach across the aisle, and that's us. And I know

that, you know, what Obama say, when they go low, you go high or whatever. Fuck that shit. It ain't working. Quit reaching across the aisle. They don't do it. We don't do it. Like, all you're doing is trying to appeal to Republicans who are never going to vote for you in the first place.

If you look at any voter turnout, we clearly always win the popular vote. There's more of us. Try to get the rest of them invigorated to actually vote, and we win every goddamn time. Fuck all these shit. They literally tried to murder Nancy Pelosi on January 6th. She still said to be the strong Republican Party.

If they're any stronger, Nancy, you'd be dead. You'd be fucking dead. Yeah. All right. So before we go, a couple things, like, subscribe, all that jazz. that we just went into. Here's Tray's in Connecticut tonight, I believe.
