Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews - 8/13/24 – Why Campaign When You Can Cheat?

Episode Date: August 14, 2024

As Harris/Walz continue to surge in the polls, the Trump campaign is firing back by…having him barely campaign at all this month. A bold strategy indeed. Could this lack of enthusiasm for campaigning have something to do with the fact that intricate and widespread plans have been put in place to ensure that Trump “wins” this election even if he loses? Let’s get into it. Support the show

All right. Welcome back, everybody. Happy Skews Day to you. It's August 13th, 2024. I'm Trey. That's Mark. How's it going, Mark? Good, man. I've got a fun show for you. We're talking about fun new ways to rig elections involving artificial intelligence and also a couple new secret societies just dropped. So we're going to get into that. It's going to be fun. You call it fun. Could also be, you know, a little, uh, mortifying at times, but yeah, this, I was going to say up, Todd, just need you to know, as we get further into this later, I'm going to, like, I'm going to be leaning on you for support, you know, so I don't completely lose my mind, which is probably not the best strategy on my part to rely on you to make me feel better, but yeah, conservatives, not just in America, UK has them, too. They love secret societies, and it's like sort of, it's so fucking funny to me that they just have to have secret handshakes and shit. It's like, the richest

people in the world, you just do stuff. You don't have to, like, meet, like, a, like, like the stone cutters layer from the Simpsons or whatever. It's so fucking funny. Before we hopped on, I saw it like, do you see that like a couple of the betting sites are going to have odds on the Little League World Series? I feel like we strayed so far from God's light. It's like, what the fuck is anybody? Yeah, the betting thing and like, I like betting on sports.

I don't go crazy with it at all, but I do like doing it. But I can admit the, especially the whole, like the leagues themselves all getting in bed with the betting corporates. and having them as sponsors and stuff like that is just like just begging for trouble man it's already getting ridiculous like you're saying it's going to balloon into an even bigger thing eventually i think it's not not good yeah and it's been happening i know sports betting is one of those things you and i disagree i mean like i don't know i i don't necessarily think it should be illegal but i think people should understand that it's bad and it's probably better for society when you had to go to a dirty bookie in the back of a bar yeah but like the uh like i don't have you seen that it's been out legal enough there have been studies or like like Like, when it's introduced in a state, like statewide credit ratings go down and bankruptcies go up. But also is the part where draft kings and fan duel are both losing money. How is everybody losing money involved in sports gambling? I didn't know that second part.

That's one of those things that don't understand how that could be true. How could they possibly be losing money? You know, it's like Trump bankrupt in a casino or whatever. It's supposed to be real hard to do. I imagine somewhere there's somebody who's like leaving with a truck, like a bunch of cash in the bed of a truck. but like it's it's fucking weird anyway somebody will figure it out so before we get to the show I want to talk about this

news channel 5 is Phil Williams is our favorite guys out there fucking go here yes the world's most milk toast white man just existing in middle Tennessee as a TV news reporter fucking up assholes lives bang that's hell baby his like librarian chic or whatever he's got he don't

give a fuck man he goes after him so he's been hound of the small the small police department outside of Nashville because like he's the one like chief detective was like heavy into QAnon shit this is a small town called Millersville, a population of 6,000 people

and they're essentially using the entire police budget on dumb-ass QAnon bullshit and turns out the chief sent on it too and he's supported by the city council and like because of his reports they've lost access to FinCEN which is like the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations like what the fuck you clowns doing you can't be using

like treasury department secret data to like hound people based upon conspiracy theories and they're like got mad at Phil Williams over it and the police chiefs going on Q&N podcast complained about Phil and he's this is just like the funny

part of this like they think they're going to take down Bill Clinton which is like the Millersville Police Department is just fucking hilarious but they also got a hold of banking records for Marshall Blackburns they think Marshall Blackburns in on like child sex trafficking and dude I guarantee you I guarantee I don't

I actually don't even know where Millersville is. I don't think. I don't think I'm even aware of it. But I guarantee you there's plenty of shit in that town that they could be spending their time on as the police force of that town. It's just going unnoticed because they think they're going to bring, you know, the entire global cabal of elites to its knees or whatever from the HQ of the Millersville PD. Yeah, like I'll come back to that in a second. But like so like the police chief went on there. He agreed with the host that Pizza Gate was reused.

and it's like I don't know I don't know if this guy knows that comic ping pong is outside of his jurisdiction but yeah you're right the stuff they're supposed to be doing like when you think about like like a small town cop is supposed to be doing

instead of going up against the deep state it's like you're like you're getting like a fender better in a Kroger parking lot and you call the cops because you need a report for insurance or like no no sorry we're busy we can't get to that right now man

because we discovered that going through Marshall Blackburn's you know campaign donations that her biggest donor is if it rearranged letters and all their names, you can pick out letters to spell Jeffrey Epstein. It's like, you're like, oh, sorry, but we can't get your call right now because we're, you know, we're going through the Clinton kill list. And it's like, but my cat's stuck in a tree, motherfucker.

What are you supposed to do it all thing? It's so fucking dumb. I just like, it kind of feels like this shit's just out there happening all around us. And every sane person is just trying to hold on the rope, hold on the rope until this fever breaks. And all these like lead poisoned boomers, like figure out how to use the internet or die off or something. Right. It's very fucking weird. We all know if these guys,

you know, a lot of them are like drunk on what little power they have and they abuse the shit out of it. And that's a general problem with American policing. And it's bad, especially when they're racist. And so they see a black guy and that means he's a criminal automatically. But now they're adding other elements to that where it's like,

you know, if they see somebody in like a Kamala shirt or something like that, that means that person's a pedophile or any kind of like, or you got dyed hair or just any kind of, you know, remotely queer or coastal queer. coded thing like that means in their mind you're literally trafficking children which gives them justification to you know shoot you or whatever they end up doing and that's uh it's really scary my

understanding is like the main thing they do is like rights ticket right speeding tickets on the interstate going into nashville so like maybe like maybe it's maybe they're they're being obsessed with this shit on the internet is like actually making lives better for the citizens of town or people that drive through it but it's just like it's fucking weird actually like like like Phil wouldn't ask the police chiefs named Morris about why is he spending police resources on shit that doesn't matter to anybody in his town. And he's like, the only thing I could think

of is you're a pedophile or you are covering for somebody that is. That's the reason I'm going to come up with for while you're asking these questions. It's like, okay, so leave Phil alone, buddy. He's our hero. I don't think he wants on smoke from Phil dog. He's a junkyard dog, buddy. Yeah. It is. All right. Well, let's get into it.

You all may have noticed while the Harris campaign continues to gain momentum is out there just burning up the trail, the Trump campaign seems to be more focused on not doing much of shit other than having weird, meandering, rambling, poorly, poor sound having conversations with Elon Musk on Twitter after a 45-minute delay and things of that nature. You might think that's an odd approach, but it seems that it may be connected to the fact but they might have some other plans for how to take care of it all irregardless of all that.

I know that's not a word, but hey, what are you going to do? We'll explain it all later. It is scary, but Mark is here, everyone. It's okay. It's going to be okay. First, we begin, though, tonight, as always, with the Daily Dumbass, Matt, graphic. Tonight's D.D. Ukraine for not understanding

that they could devastate Vladimir Putin with a well-timed talk to the hand. And again, I said to Vladimir Putin, I said, don't do it. You can't do it, Vladimir, you do it. It's going to be a bad day. You cannot do it. And I told him things that what I do, and he said, no way. And I said, way.

Simple as, isn't it? So, Marr, a lot of people point out, like, he does sound weird right there, right? Like, just to get it out, like, Trump's voice. Because I saw some people saying it might be audio compression issues, but it sounds like he just didn't have his dentures in because he wasn't on camera or something. But he's got like a Sylvester the cat playing going on. Yeah.

Which kind of adds to the ridiculousness of the whole situation. There are definitely parts of where we sound like he toddy tall, putty tat. But the, yeah, to me it's not like he just got new veneers or dental work or something. If you want to be in spirit, some people were like, oh, it's because he's a lifelong cocaine addiction. He has a hole in the roof of his mouth. I'm like, I don't know about that.

But so, yeah, like you said, it started 40-some minutes late. Because it can get the tech to work. Elon said it was a DDoS attack, which is funny because it didn't affect any other part of Twitter. And people inside Twitter are like, no, he's just lying. Just the tech crash because we fired everybody. And yeah, you're right. He sounded funny to a lot of people. And often a post reporter named SV Date asked the Trump team about it.

And they said, quote, must be your shitty hearing. Get your ears checked out. I'm like, well. That's like the formal response from the Trump campaign. Must be your shitty hearing. Get your ears checked. It's like, oh, man, paragon's a professionalism over there. But I actually tuned in briefly as much as I.

And it like, and from what I understand, it was largely like this the whole time. And it's like Trump just kind of rambling on and on and on incessantly about the same things that he always talks about, punctuated every now and then by Elon going like, yeah, yeah, sure, yeah. Like Elon brought very little to the table, not that anybody should be surprised by that. But it was not riveting conversation or a particularly compelling example of how to interview someone on a stage like this, is what I'm saying. Pretty low rent, in my opinion. I'm wondering, like, because there's so many things are broken right now, but like Tesla is ostensibly a public company. And you've got, they're an electric car company whose essential mission statement for the beginning was like, we're going to fight. We're here to fight global warming, climate change, right?

and you have the global face of climate change denialism on your other company publicly talking of denying climate change, talking about how it's going to rate, the sea is going to raise like an eighth of an inch over 100 years and just means more beachfront. He did that bit about more beachfront property again, which is weird. He complained about illegal immigration when Elon very famously overstated student visa and wasn't undocumented immigrant for a long time. Trump also said he was fleeing to Venezuela if Kamala won. Yeah, he said that last time too, though, right here. I don't know if he specified the country, but he said in 2020 that if he lost, he would leave the country and never be heard from again, which is the most upsetting of all the promises he's broken, in my opinion. But, yeah, I saw people point out that this time around when he says that he's going to leave the country if he loses, it's a little bit different because of the context of him being a convicted felon.

Right. He's like a flight risk or whatever, which does make it funnier. He's supposed to be sentenced for his New York case in a couple weeks. And, like, they, like, if he was a normal person saying he was, he was the, he was the, about fleeing the country, that would, he'd be, you know, have his bond revoked. Yes. So, but like, why do you think Venezuela? Like, as somebody who follows the intricacies of his brain, like, do you, like, I do.

I think I know, but like, why do you think? Oh, I mean, I just assume it's like a non-extradition country or something like that. No. So Venezuela's been, you know, a conservative boogeyman for off and on for 80 some years, right? Right. Because of the threat of communism. And so in his stump speech, he's been doing this bit. for a while about how even Venezuela, which sucks, has less crime than America does now under Biden, right?

Which is nothing to know this is based on anything real. But like so, like, but he's insane at long enough that it's evolved in his head to think Venezuela is objectively awesome. And now he just wants to move there because it's cool. Yeah. He also praised Elon for firing, striking workers, which is causing legal headaches for him, which we'll get, we'll talk about that on Friday, on the bonus episode later this week, I think, because we're talking about, we're going to talk about a right-wing populism. So, yeah, I mean, like, this just feels, this feels so impotent. Like, remember DeSantis did his big campaign launch on a Twitter space interview with Elon that also fizzled and couldn't work technically. Right.

And didn't Trump, like, shit on that when he did it? like Trump, like, publicly shit on the massive cluster fuck failure that was DeSantis' Twitter-based campaign launch or whatever. Yeah. It's so funny how ever since he first came on to the scene in a big way politically, it's been an almost universal truth that you can find a self-critical past tweet or truth from him. Like, anything he does dumb, you can find an old version of him shitting on that very thing. Like, it's funny how consistent it is. Absolutely. All right.

Our honorable mention for Daily Domest tonight is everyone but Judge Janine, who understands that someone had to get those kids to school on that Zamboni. She's talking about Tim Walls here. Finally, this is what I love about this guy. This guy is a great drunk driver. As a drunk driver. So she goes on to talk about how I guess, like, I haven't seen this reported elsewhere, but she's saying that like when Tim Wallace was holding to court for drug driving,

This is in like 1996, I think, that his excuse for why he was going 96 and the 55 was that he thought the cop was someone chasing him. So he was running from the cop. So that's what she's saying. Anyway, the truth of the matter is it wasn't pretty hidden D.U.S. stop. I guess he told the cop he was deaf to try to avoid getting arrested. Right. Which is some really hitting red-ass shit. It makes me laugh.

Yeah, I don't get like, so he couldn't hear the sirens or whatever, but you could still, you know, see the lights, presumably. me if you're down. I mean, I guess, you know, he was hammered. Who knows? But it's, it was 30 something. He was I know that. I mean, this is, it's like, if this is pretty much all that, and I know it's not, I know they're grasping in a few other straws, like with his military record and stuff, which we'll get into, but like that it just proves it that don't have much to work with, in my opinion, because I mean, yeah, a DUI, I'm not defending DUIs at all. He's from the middle of nowhere, and this was in the mid-90s. Like, what are you going to do? Like, I was in the middle of nowhere in mid-90s and pretty much everyone who drove was driving drunk

for most of the time again not saying you weren't do it I'm just saying I'm not going to crucify a guy over having done that 30-something years ago I'm glad everybody's okay and all that but yeah it's not it's also not much scandal culturally I'm old enough to remember that you know like I mean my dad was a long-haul trucker and he had stories like being pulled over by a state trooper in Texas and the trooper hit a beard between his legs right like it's just like stuff is stuff's it's changed for the better but like cultural expectations around drinking and driving are like not a way different than they used to be. It used to be even when I lived in Texas who was legal to drink and drive at the same time as long as you weren't impaired.

That's no longer the case. So they're pretty much, so they're grasping a lot of straws. Like here's an example. Roger Stone went on his podcast and said that he thinks Tim Walls is gay because of how he dances or whatever. And JD is dancing up to that. Take him out how Tim Walls is weird because when he, like when he gave his, his birth, first big rollout, you know, event with Kamala that he, he shook his wife's hand and pulled her in for a hug as opposed to mugging down with her like J.D. His wife, which is, I guess, the normal thing to do in public. It's very, it's very weird. There's tampon 10 things interesting because of how stupid and hollow it is. They basically, like, they're images of his face and a box of tampons

float around the fever swamps of right wing internet. Right. Because he got, he had it to where tampons were put in public schools in Minnesota, right? Which is like, just that is like, okay, good. what could possibly be wrong with that. But their angle on it is, oh, he didn't just do that. He forced them to also be put into boys' bathrooms too. It's not true.

It's what they say happen. Yeah, right. So basically, so the purpose of this law is to get like absences down and it's pretty effective. Other states would try it. New York does it. It's bad, like his law is basically a Xerox copy of a law that's a similar law that's a similar law that

went to affect in Utah, the super woke nation, you know, nation state of Utah. So, but so. Basically, when they were passing this law, Republicans tried to put, like, a poison pill troll amendment in there to, like, forbid it from going in, in boys' restrooms.

And they just, like, struck that down because they recognized it as a bunch of bullshit. And then, so now that when you get through the funhouse mirror of Trump-era politics, because you didn't go out of your way to forbid it going into boys' restrooms, it somehow becomes, like, some big culture war thing about trans people, which is just utter, right. And it's, like, it's up to the school districts to how to implement it. Old school Republicans would understand this because you're just not, the schools have local control. You're just given the resources to put tampons in bathrooms and you can do what it how you want, right?

And it's only one ever come up if a district has one trans boy. It's like, we don't need to raise government resources worried about this. Whatever. It's also fucking stupid. It does not require tampons in boys' restrooms if anybody cares about that. So they're also trying to swift boat him because like his unit did an, deploying to Iraq, like four months, they got the notice a couple months after he officially separated, but you get like previous notices leading up until you might have to go.

But also, he had to put in his notice of separation, like a full year before retirement. Right. Yeah. So, I mean, that's my understanding of it. So, yes, they said, J.D. Vance said, you know, when I got called on my country to go to Iraq, I did. I served with whatever the hell he said. And he went over there and, like, interviewed people and did the newsletter or whatever.

But hey, still, it did do it. He went over there. that's all true but he said meanwhile when tim wals got called to go to iraq he he bounced he just left but like you said he was in for almost 25 years at that point right and he's put in his i don't know how any of it works but started the process of retiring from the military before they were even you know given their deployment orders or whatever like he'd been in for 25 years he said hey i'm retiring in between that and him actually walking away they get told you're this unit's going to get sent to Iraq but he was already on his way out and then just

finished yeah retiring and that yeah is that accurate that's what actually happened right yeah it's also like the idea that like we we would have won Iraq if we'd sent this 40-some year old chubby master sergeant or something is really funny because like it it it's also stupid it's also insulting to who after uh I don't know what that's done up there Matt um so uh he's uh it's also insulting to whoever replaced him because it's like, well, that guy must have been incompetent if we had to send Tim Walz to win the war. It's worth noting that Trump's campaign managers, a guy named Chris LaSavita, who also ran the swiftboat campaign against John Kerry. So that's worth a fun data point here.

But yeah, the idea that like the Army let you just give two weeks notice to avoid a war is deeply fucking funny to me. They famously were not letting guys leave. They didn't want to leave. It was called stop loss orders. I think everybody remembers that. if you wonder like what actually if there might actually be any meat here I don't think there's any enough to hang anything real on

but like he did he was quoted saying I deployed in supportive operation during freedom which is literally true he was in Italy and like if my understanding is if you're a troop you understand what that means that like you're basically saying I served in a rear echelon you would not say I deployed in support of operation during freedom if you were actually serving in

theater right okay he also you'll see there are out of context clips of him saying when I was in Afghanistan but he was talking about a trip he took in a congressional delegation. Right. But, yeah, using J.D. to mount these attacks is pretty hilarious. Because J.D., he did what he was asked of him, but he was a public affairs officer.

He was essentially like a blogger in the Marines. So him trying to melt, yeah. It's what he was asked to do, right? But also the idea that you had to choose, like, Tim Walls didn't decide when his unit was going to Iraq or not going. It's like, it's also so fucking stupid. Yeah. Him, that whole, them using clips to him talking about when I was in Afghanistan, when he never served in Afghanistan, but he did go there as a congressional delegation,

like you said. That whole thing is like what I, anytime he ever brings up the I did running for office or whatever, not that I ever would anyway, but that is the main reason. Well, one of the main reasons why, because like they can just so easily just take any kind of clip out of context, you know what I mean? I'm like, dude, you could put together an 18 plus minute reel of me just saying the most horrifically upsetting and hypocritical things from all the years. Which, all of which I would argue are out of context.

But if context isn't a factor, which clearly it isn't, then you can make anybody appear to have said almost anything, you know. But the closest thing I could find is something that could be maybe bullshity is he was talking about gun control at one point and said something I'm paraphrasing here. But like, so he's talking about ARs and it's like a weapon I carried in a war. And he probably should have said something like a weapon I was trained to carry in a war. But that's like, that's the closest thing to anything being there, there is probably maybe a slip of the tongue. Or maybe if you, if you're one of those people who decides you, it's a huge you know huge lives stealing valor it's the world we live in here

everyone else to divide up lines and pick sides about who served more badass and a war pretty much all of us agree was stupid and fucking pointless at this point but hey this country we live in speaking of stupid and pointless campaigning for president am right if you're Donald Trump it seems so yeah a novel approach going over there in Trump country yeah apparently not do anything like they did they actually did opened some field offices this week and buy some ads, but they're buying ads in North Carolina, which shows you the state of the race if they're trying to hold on in Carolina at this point. But, like, things, there's a theory going around that he's not campaigning very much because

he's afraid, like, they almost dying scared him. Yeah. And, like, he's afraid he'll get shot if he goes out in public again, which I kind of, I kind of understand that, but honestly forgot he was shot until I saw this news story this week about some guy, Trump supporter, built a statue out of nails of him raising his fist after we got shot even though this picture back up there matt um this guy made a picture of him out of nails and thousands and thousands of nails him raising the fist and look at the golden hair nails tray he says quote i did a lot of research on the hair quoting a lot of research on

the hair yeah yeah and now look i you know i tell a lot better than i can do with a whole bunch of nails don't get me wrong but yeah it's not exactly burnini but yeah i did a lot of research on my hair just to get it just right i use a different color for those and uh when he does campaign like he just had a his last campaign event was in uh montana which seemed to be weird he's there you know john testers in a close campaign uh for the senate so they're trying to take that senate see from democrats i get that but also there's a bunch of money from like you know the villains in yellowstone all live out there so he got to they got to collect money from those dickbags but every time he leaves the house he gets in another scandal for example his train his plane broke down in

Montana. So we had to get another one and accidentally got on a plane that used to belong to Jeffrey Epstein. Um, so just like imagine, imagine a Kamala used Jeffrey Epstein's old plane is it back up? Dude. Absolutely insane. Yeah, they claim it was just, you know, an honest mistake or whatever. Maybe it was. Maybe he was just trying to muddle up the DNA evidence on that plane. You know what I mean? Like he knew his was already on it, but now he's got an excuse for having it on there. I'm just asking questions. That's all I'm doing. But, uh, Yeah. This wasn't the Lillian Express, by the way.

It was a different plane. So like an Air Force one and Air Force two, I just, I guess Espin had Lillit Express 1 and Lillet Express 2. So, let me ask you about like, because I've heard some people saying, like, presumably these big rallies and stuff, I don't, they have to be, I imagine, booked and planned well in advance, right? I mean, they'd have to be because of the size of them or like, I'm just wondering if like, like, do you think it's indicative of the hit?

him thinking he could like coast during this time if there was enough lead time to plan things out or do you think it's him being afraid or him being old he don't have the energy to do it anymore there's got to be some there has to be some reason he's just not doing shit right like i i think he's dispirited like they thought they're going to be able to run against biden and then they don't like we're to talk about what's going on among us supporters because they're they're tearing each other's hair out and going into his throats over show that's going on the vibes are not good over there and here's trump pretty much uh summing it up right now. Here's a clip of him at that. I think it's at that rally in Montana.

We're going to get Joe Biden out of the White House. What's he doing now? Greg, what's he doing? Pass the laws. You know, he wanted to debate. If we didn't have a debate, he'd still be there. Can you imagine if we didn't have a debate? Why the hell did I debate him? Yeah, a moment of honesty there. Pagan. through. Politics is supposed to be a zero-sum game, but two guys somehow lost one debate. It's very funny to me. It is wild.

Yeah, no, he's clearly pretty upset over, yeah, Biden not being there anymore. I mean, he went on that one ran on true social, trying to, like, manifest a reality where he's still running against Biden, kind of. Like, he went on this thing. Like, he, like, posited his own conspiracy theory that Biden was just going to take back his candidacy or whatever, and then he would get to debate him again because that would, you know, how super. how super awesome that was and now he'd get to you know kick his ass again or whatever and all this crazy stuff yeah it does not seem to be coping well with

this new reality I mean common was already been certified as the nominee so I even know what the hell he's talking about but so like I always wonder if he's this stupid or not I mean I kind of think yeah but it's very fucking weird um so we're going to talking about like all the ways the Republican parties and the Heritage Foundation

types are gearing up to cheat and this is not I want to be clear here everybody fucking vote Anybody telling the elections already the results won't matter because Trump will just steal it is trying to suppress your vote, all right? I mean, I feel like my immediate reaction to that line of thinking is just like that makes it even more important that everyone votes because it's like the further the margin is the harder it will be for them to do the nefarious shit they're wanting to do. So even if you do believe, oh, they're just going to try to steal it anyway, you should be way more motivated to vote and to turn out the vote. and everything because that feels like the best possible because we all know it's going to be some fuckery no matter what but if it's like razor thin or whatever again i mean jesus christ

versus you know a much more um resounding victory that i think that make a big difference everybody do what you can to run up the score because it would give actual chances for progressive policy like like create mandates it does all sorts of different things down ballot but also yeah it makes it more difficult to steal there's no there's no reason to take georgia's voting process to court if the electoral counts already in the back. Do you know what I'm saying? So like, so yeah, run up the score because like, uh, we're, what's likely to happen in November if it's remotely close and just for context sake, like, like, I think national

polling has common all up between three and four points right now nationwide and up in the blue wall stage, which is enough for the electoral college. But, but at this point in 2020, Biden was up like eight or nine points. He ended up winning by four and a half. Okay. So things change. Things happen. And like, they, it.

It could be closer, much closer than it looks like now, okay, or flipped. And what's possible going to happen in November is a long post-election dog fight, and that's even if things go orderly here, right? Because, for example, like, when it comes to, like, the House, it's a decent chance that after election night, even the next few days, neither party will have a majority and be waiting for, like, slow-bounding ballot counting processes and, you know, a bunch of races in Arizona, California, Alaska, the main second district, Washington. state and

we're about to pivot to talk about the Trump campaign for a second here in a minute it's like

I hope this is the last chapter of Trump as national protagonist right but right now

what he's telling himself his supporters unfortunately fucking matters and the delusions he's having right now

are ultimately a permission structure to attempt a second coup uh and right

yes the whole like setting up to where they in their minds there's no possible way that he could lose.

So if it seems, if it becomes apparent that he is losing, then there's no other explanation for that other than, you know, chicanery, sculled d'agery, underhanded tactics. Because they, you know, they live in their own bubble. They believe what they want to believe. And they are, I've seen conservatives on

Twitter sometimes, like, reply to some progressive saying something and they'll say something like, you do realize 95% of people disagree with you, right? 95% of people think you're inside. Like, they think shit like that. Like, they, in their minds, they truly believe that, you know, they represent the will of the people of America. And there's no way that Kamala could win without, you know, cheating in some capacity.

And he's feeding directly into that, like, very much on purpose. Like, that's part of the whole plan. Yeah. He thinks that the change in polling is proof that Democrats are cheating. Like, they're rigging the polls to create, like a, like a, like a, a narrative that he was always down and it was always going to lose, right? So that's what he's telling. That's what he's telling people in private. And public what he's telling people is that comp, the,

The photos of crowds at Kamala rallies are artificially intelligence generated. Like the one that went viral in the past few days was all over social. It is a picture of, you pull this picture of the plane, I'm mad. It circles drawn on their plane. So basically it's saying that the crowds are fake because there's no reflection of them in the plane. In reality, what happened is planes are curved. Right. And also it's taken from a telephoto lens.

It makes the crowd look closer to the plane that it is in reality. right yes um so i mean i'm saying that like i didn't know but that was just my assumption is like i'm sure it's just a different you know light and angles and all that stuff can do some wild shit with cameras anyways it doesn't automatically mean anything but i know that they've all the her rallies and stuff from the same venues and they're packed and everything and i've seen people try to like prove that it's like you know whatever procedurally generated crowd members up in the top and really hardly anybody was there and all this shit and it's just there's just no i just don't know

none of that is true that isn't what happened those people did show up they were there this is real this is evidence of what is real and they just are like oh this is clearly all bullshit it's clearly fake and it you know what the hell what do you do to that

and like we've made fun there like i don't really think crowd size is super indicative of anything other than the enthusiasm of the people that showed up right you know and like they'd be it would be lying to say that like the 20,000 people show up to Trump rallies aren't enthusiastic about Trump, but it's just like, we just made fun of the idea that they're

super indicative of anything. The way this matters is that the Harris campaigns converting these people into volunteers. You know, that's the part that matters. But I used to think like the danger of AI was idiots believing that fake shit was real. But apparently the part of the danger is also that people believe that real shit is fake.

They refuse to believe what their eyes are telling them. Yeah. Well, I mean, again, when you think about the Trump, you know, know, them starting the whole, like, I'm not saying they started it, but they definitely popularized the whole fake news thing in 2016. Like, we've all known that was dangerous the whole time, but that coupled with this AI shit that started in the last couple years is like a real problem. Again, reality just doesn't matter anymore to so many people.

And I don't know how you get that genie back in the bottle, you know? Yeah. And, yeah, it's like this stuff seems silly, but it's fairly obvious in service over stuff. we're talking about, like Bernie Sanders put out this statement today, talking about how no one has actually shown up to, how Trump is saying that no one showed up to Harris rallies, quote, what Trump is doing is lay on the groundwork for rejecting the election results if he loses. If you can convince your supporters that thousands of people who are tended to televise rally do not exist, it will not be hard to convince them that the election returns in Pennsylvania, Michigan,

and elsewhere are fake and fraudulent. Right. So this stuff is extremely, extremely petty, and there's people all over Fox News talking to each other but essentially talking to Trump to cut this out because it seems stupid to regular people. It makes you seem conspiratorial and dumb, all of which is true. And this AI idiocy had Trump supporters fighting each other online. There's also a thing because Joe Rogan kind of sort of endorsed RFK.

And then Trump trothed on his social media platform that UFC fans, next time there's an event, should boo Joe Rogan when he shows up, which is extremely stupid because UFC fans don't like. like Rogan because they like Trump, they're cool with Trump because Rogan likes Trump. Right. It's like you've got the who the influence are his fucking backwards, all right? And so people were like, oh, Trump needs to fire his campaign staff as if Trump's campaign staff was stupid enough to truth.

The man did that himself, motherfuckers. I don't know what to tell you. And it causes this big stupid fight among Trump supporters. And as far as this, like, I was just thinking, man, imagine your papaw is digging a a foxhole in the ice cold ground in Bastogne 80 years ago and he just saw his three best buddies get killed the day before

at the bottom of the foxhole he finds a wormhole where he can communicate to you and he says, Trey, was it all worth it? What's the state of American democracy? You read back this quote from a daily beast reporter

that led Fuente's followers to accuse cat turd of being a subversive force and naturally now cat turd supporters are calling for Groypers to be banned from Trump's aides and oversee true social. What the fuck? I swear of God, like, making these people not matter should be mission number one for American

advocacy right now. Absolutely. The fact that cat turd is a serious thinker in American politics. It's a thought leader. Yeah. I can say cat turd. I know. Cat turd wields power and influence on the American right.

Like, it's truly, you know, not exactly Dwight D. Eisenhower, you know, feels pretty different. And while they're telling their sucker supporters that. like any sort of any vote against them is fraudulent and the election against them as fraudulent because obviously

they're super popular they know they're not super popular and their entire project is built around like like seizing power despite that

we're not going to get deep into 2025 stuff but ProPublica got a hold of some training videos that they're showing to potential like staffees in a second Trump administration

and like not to go too far in apparel of here but the stuff that like the overall majority of people who know anything about anything, understand that climate change is real.

Right. And what they're telling themselves is like, like they need to like make it so that no government document anywhere will mention climate change. It's going to be deleted from every government document, every government program, including the State Department and a national security apparatus. Because like if you're,

if you work for the CIA and you're writing like threat assessments about what countries on the verge of collapse, which ones are going to run out of water and therefore lead to political instability? as the oceans rise is an important factor to where it, like, to make the point that climate change is a national security issue. They want to make it so, like, if you're a smart person who works in intelligence, you can't even point that out. Because to them, the CIA has gone too fucking woke. Right.

It's insane. Anyway, that's a digression. But so, like, this recruitment video from this asshole, listen to this guy, how this guy talks about government service and what you need to be willing to risk to work for a second Trump administration. All right. If the next Republican president does not execute a dramatic course correction, there may never be another chance. So if you're not on board with helping implement a dramatic course correction because you're afraid it'll damage your future employment prospects, it'll harm you socially.

Look, I get it. That's a real danger. It's a real thing. But please, do us all a favor and sit this one out. All right. So what he's saying there is if you're not on board to be recorded as a villain in history, if you're not prepared to have your neighbors hate you and have, like, nobody want to employ you

after you do whatever you do when you work for us. This is not the job for you. Does that sound like a person who wants to implement a popular agenda? Exactly, right. It's like it's like the direct implication there is that the work that we are going to do here will make you a pariah in your community, right? And you've got to be willing to live with that or we don't. And another way to look at this is like I hope that enough people's,

I hope that there are enough people out there who would actually take the advice he's giving you're meaning like sitting this one out in that capacity that there's enough people out there that are like not willing to go that far for those reasons you know what I mean that it's a bridge too far for enough people for it to matter basically but yeah let's hope so but they're but they're trying to do a selection bias thing where they only get the world's biggest assholes who don't care if they have friends or like if they're if they're recorded as like members of the waffin SS or some shit yeah so like um with that in mind about how unpopular they know they are let's talk about this new secret society that just became publicly known it's

call it Zicklag. It's a new group, according to ProPublica, it's an under the radar Christian Nationalist Align Funding Network called Zicklag, which describes itself as a quote, private, confidential, invitation-only community of high net worth families. The minimum net worth to get in is $25 million. All right. Zichlag was the name of a town in the Kingdom of Judah in the Old Testament, by the way. Okay, so that's like, that's suitably, you know, off-putting for sure that it's something from

Old Testament or whatever. That also don't hit, but I feel like it definitely sounds kind of Nazi-ish, I think, right? Like, Zichlog, you know, like it's just got a kind of vibe to it. I'm not saying that did that on purpose, but I'm just saying, it's something that makes it, it hits in their brain, you know? They're like, they just got a good sound to it, I think. Well, it's probably Hebrew. So I don't know if I want to call it Nazi, but I know what you're saying. It does sound, it does sound Germanic. Yeah. So we didn't get to it a couple weeks ago. We were talking about JD being selected, but JD's in another secret society that didn't know about

called Taneo or something. It's some Latin word that means some dumb bullshit. Can we get cool secret societies again? Can we, because like, like, ordees and plague masks I'm kind of cool with, but these new ones who just do Bible trivia and playing coups fucking suck. Dude, I thought that before about just like religion in general. Like I was, uh, walking, I was like playing this game, Hades.

It's got the Greek gods and the Greek pantheon and stuff in it. And it's like, man, church, like in a version of church used to be like going and getting fucking hammered drunk off wine and partying and having a big orgy. It might be sacrificing a goat or whatever here and there, depending on how much fun you want to have. You know, and then like versus, yeah, how boring and awful, you know, church is now. But yes, I agree with you. It does apply to this too. Being part, what's the point being in a secret society, you know, if you're just going to, like,

sit around in suits and argue over the Bible and talk about how you. you're going to ruin democracy for everybody. I guess the power is the part of it that, you know, it just hits. And I guess the world's always, I was texting you guys about this, but I was learning, like, learn about Charlie Wilson in the 80s about, you know, he was that, you've seen Charlie Wilson's war, Tom Hanks plays him. And it's pretty funny because they're talking about funding what turned out to be Al Qaeda. Just like, nice, lighthearted romp about funding Al Qaeda.

Yeah. So it is a great movie, though. I just rewatch that movie for the first time in a long time, like a couple months ago. just so y'all not hot take i know we all know this already philip seymour hoffman was truly something else he is off the charts in that movie dude it's so god damn good and the real guy he played was funny as shit too we don't tell him to get to that but it's so he's worth learning about so but uh so charlie wilson apparently convinced the pakistanis and saudi and saudi intelligence to work together to arm the muja aden at a greek themed toga party that was so authentic they

actually auctioned off Greek slave girls. All right. So I think this is just how things work. Right. There were actors playing. They didn't have, they don't shop real slaves. This was in Texas.

So, okay. So as far as what Zick lags up to, who it is, like they're the families who own Hobby Lobby, heirs, the wheeline shipping fortune,

and the founders of Jockey Apparel. So like, I don't shop at Hobby Lobby or have a trucking concern, but I do wear underwear. So I guess I'm, yeah, no, I didn't know that about Jockey. That was my first.

So, well, we all know the words out on Hobby Lobby at this point and has been for a minute. But I didn't know, I didn't know that Jockey was on the, the crazy train, too. That's a, not that I'm like, I'm not brand loyal to Jockey, but, you know, I've definitely had some jockey shit in my time. Yeah, we're official, what's some other, Haynes, we're Haynes people here at Sues now. So, so basically what they're funding their money into is millions of dollars into, like, efforts to promote election conspiracy theories and undermine the freedom to vote. And they call this funding operation checkmate. Part of this is plans to give $800 grand to a company called Eagle AI, which is a controversial mass voter challenge software program utilized by activists in states like Georgia and Florida. Basically, what these programs do is these AI rounds a bunch of different data points to try to prove that you aren't who you are or don't live at the address you say you do to try to object to your being on a voter role, to be an registered voter.

all right now is there a good is there a good reason for why people can even do that at all you know what I mean meaning like you so yeah you can like now you can go on the website depending on what state you live in you can go on their website and you can like challenge someone else's voter registration because oh I know that they don't actually live there so that means that this should be invalid and now they can't vote like is there an actual like benevolent case for that even being a functionality that people should have available to them that I'm just I can't think of one, but also, like, I don't object to, like, if there weren't a bunch of bad faith actors out there, like, if you should be able to, if you think somebody committed a crime, like, I voted illegally, seriously illegally. I don't mean, like, you, you know, were tricked into thinking you'd already finish your parole and happened or whatever, or you just forgot to, like, change your address when you live in the same district or something. I mean, like, you committed an actual crime. Like, I understand being able to snitch. I don't snitch on people, but I get, like, but that's. after they voted. Do you know what I'm saying?

Like that's after they committed a crime. You typically you can't pre-snitch on someone for committing a crime. But like so like, but like the thing about this AI stuff is AI doesn't work. So like we found the ultimate use case for AI and it's being useless on purpose. This AI is no doubt to me going to get a bunch of people not be able to vote even though they should be able to vote because computers confused. I saw a screen grab earlier. Somebody asked chat GPT, which number was bigger, 9.1,1.

or 9.9.9. And it answered 9.1 because 11 is more than 9. Yeah. Computers were invented to do math and we've trained it to not do math. Yeah. All right. That's how fucking stupid shit is getting it. This effort, by the way, is backed by Cleita Mitchell, who, she was famously

to one of Trump's lawyers, who was on the phone call where he asked Georgia Secretary of State to find an extra 10,000 votes. All right. So she's already dirty as shit. She formed a group called Citizen AG that has plans to file a lawsuit. suits against counties that reject Eagle Eye-generated complaints. So you can't even not listen to the computer. You'll get sued.

All right. This is happening in Georgia. Like I said, Georgia's going to come up a couple times here. We need to win enough states that Georgia doesn't matter, basically. So basically, you brought up the snitching people, a snitching on people for not being registered. Georgia debuted a portal with the Secretary of State's office, let people cancel the registrar. of another voter if they've allegedly died or moved out of state. All you need to know to cancel someone else's voter registration is their name, their date

of birth, and their county of residence to initiate a cancellation request, and then to finish it, you do need to have the last four digits of their social or their driver's license number. The problem is, the process they used to establish the portal accident leaked all that information. It was immediately hacked and breached. So if you wanted to, if you had the time and inclination, you could cancel the voter registration, for every single person in fucking Georgia, all right? Right. Yeah, see, that's what I'm saying.

Like, why it allows you to do that, you know, you can have someone else's registration canceled if they have died or moved out of state. But it's like, why does any regular person even need to be able to do that or somebody? You know what I mean? Like, why? Because your neighbor died and it's like, oh, I better make sure his voter registration is canceled. You know, I mean, why? Like, I just don't see outside of this bullshittery.

I don't understand why it even needs. to be a thing. If you're one of these paranoid psychos, it thinks that somebody's going to vote on a dead person's behalf, I guess. But like nobody really does. A very, very, very, very, very, a numerically inconsequential

a number of people do that. So they're basically, because of the stupid way we do voting in America, there's basically five different hinge points to suppress people's vote. You can stop them registering, which, you know, people try to do all the time.

You can kick them off voter rolls, which we're just talking about. You can stop them from voting by telling them their vote won't matter or try trying to keep them busy that day are making sure the polling locations have long lines, making sure you can't drink water in lines or whatever the stuff they've been doing in Georgia. You can try to stop votes from being counted. But ultimately, what you can do is stop certification, okay?

And that's what we're going to talk about next. And I need everyone to remember here that January 6th was the culmination of a certification dispute that started at county levels and trickled upwards. All right? Yes. This is the type of thing. And I guess, I don't know. I'm not saying it's literally never happened. But this is the type of thing before January 6th. It's like, like most people didn't even think about that part of it. You know what I mean? Of an election. Right. It's pro forma. Right. Yeah. You just take that for granted and then realizing it's like,

no, actually, this is like a thing that has to happen. They don't necessarily have to just do it if they, you know, want it. If they're bad actors or whatever. And then it's Well, what saved us in 2020 is a lot of the states did have laws mandating that they do it. That's eventually what saved everyone is like it said the law says

it's a ceremonial role. It says shell certify. It doesn't say it can certify or has the chance to certify. It says you fucking have to do it. So that's like basically courts made them do it in a lot of places. But what's happened since then is they've been trying to take a control of election machinery and change the rules. So like basically, it's going to swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, at least 70 pro-Trump election conspiracists are currently working as county election officials who have questioned the validity of elections or delayed or refused to certify results. Of those 70, 22 of them have already refused or delayed certification of recent past elections. There's a woman in Georgia who refused to certify Trump's primary victory over Nikki Haley

because she waited for more information. I'm going to get back to her in a second, but that's the kind of shit we're talking about. They're trying to establish the precedent that they resist certifying every fucking election. All right. In Michigan, most election officials are certified in 2020 or gone. There's a guy whose last name's Froman, who's now on the Kalamazoo County canvassing board, who says he was explicitly elected not to certify anything. any election that was conducted like 2020.

I have no idea what that means for this year. We're going to have to fucking find out together, all right? So, starting back to Georgia for a second. The primary was in May, and the lady I was just talking about her name is Julie Adams, and she's a member of the Fulton County Board of Elections. And like I said, she refused to certify Trump's primary victory. Then she sued, she filed a lawsuit against the board she sits on, arguing that as local election officials,

she can refuse to certify the results until the county provides her, with mountains of election data to investigate the election that just took place. This has never happened before. Again, she's a lady who sits on a county election board. She's not supposed to fucking matter.

She argued that she used to have flexibility and certifying the election and the court agreed and they changed the rules. The three Republicans and Georgia State Election Board backed her up.

What they say now is like she can conduct a reasonable inquiry into election results and they don't define what any limits are on what a reasonable inquiry is. all right that's the ballgame all right so and there's no there's no like probable cause for reasonable inquiry either right like she can just she could just not like the result of it or

whatever and not want to certify it and say well i have the right to launch a reasonable inquiry which is yeah ill defined and has no limit to it right and then it's just caught in limbo for however long she wants to keep it that way yeah we're all going to be we're all going be watching, you know, CNN on November 19th at a court hearing where people are arguing about what reasonable means. Well, this lady tries to drag out the certification past the deadline of November 22nd because then they'll be like, well, we can never figure out what happened with these election results. So I guess we got to throw it to the state legislature who will just give the electoral votes to Trump, right? And so Trump had a rally in Georgia

a couple weeks ago where the head. headlines out of it where he kind of roasted Governor Brian Kemp and his wife for being ungrateful to him after he got him elected because he endorsed him and Brian Kemp didn't go to bat for him to overturn the election results but the moment

no one noticed he's singled out three little known Republican officials Janice Johnston Rick Jaffaris and Janelle King calling them pit bulls fighting for honesty transparency and victory if you're wondering who Johnston Jafferis and King are they're the three members of the

Georgia State Election Board, who agreed with that lady's lawsuit that she should be able to hold up election certification until she is satisfied with her reasonable inquiry. So they all know what's going on here, even if no one else can follow it, all right? It's a small club. We're not in it. They got a secret handshake. They hang out at the Zickleg headquarters, making plans for the rest of our country. And, like, the rest of us are going on and just have to, like, I don't know, figure out what to do about it.

But I guess in the run up to election day, everybody check your voter registration. vote.org. Everybody vote. Get everyone you know to vote. Run up the score so stealing feels pointless and hopeless to these dumb fucks. So hopefully we can get passive voting rights act and fixed all this shit before 2028 when Trump's inevitably going to be running again and they're all going to be doing this shit again and be ready to support protesters when they're out in force in the streets trying to like make an election matter come late November. Yeah. So let me ask you this part. You know, last time in 2020 all the bullshit that I got up to, you know, Trump was the sitting president, right, when all that happened.

And I know it's like it came down to a handful of people who actually ended up having some integrity at the end of the day, one of which was Mike Pence and part of Project 2025's whole thing is making sure that does not happen again. However, right now Joe Biden is the president, right? And we'll be the president when this election happens. Like the context of that is a little bit different. Like how much will that matter? You know what I mean?

The fact that the Democrats have power right now, they're not, Trump's not being ousted. He's trying to take it back. Like, when did that make a difference? Well, when it comes to running American elections, there's not one national election. There's 50 state elections. So probably Georgia State Election Board has more power than does the president of the United States.

Now, having the Department of Justice on your side of filing lawsuits against the Georgia's state election board could matter, but then you're talking about trying to get it to the Supreme Court and then who knows how that goes. Right, yeah, you definitely don't want to go to the Supreme Court, right? So, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, I'm not saying, like, again, this could all, like, pass, like, a, past, like, a, was a fart in the wind, you know? If, uh, if, if, you know, Kamala wins, uh, the, the three, the blue firewall states, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, plus the main second, main second, if Kamala wins were 271 because she wins, like, Maine second, because the, they did it thing in Maine and also Nebraska where they, they, they carve out a congressional district for an electoral vote.

Mm-hmm. That's going to be fucking hilarious. and none of this might end up mattering. It might, like, the momentum might keep going. She might end up winning by, like, seven points and a hundred. That's the other thing, too, like, like Georgia, I get, because Georgia was a blue state last election just barely, and it caused a lot of consternation and all that and a lot of backlash.

They're in the peach state or whatever. Is that what they are? I know they love peaches. Anyway, but a lot of these other states, even like in the blue wall and all that, you know, I mean, it can't just be lunatics all the way down, right? Like some of them, even some of the important ones, presumably it's not exclusively operated by these, you know, ideal logs, right? There's some of them have like good people who have integrity working in the same jobs, right? Right.

The problem is the political, because the Republican Party parties at the institutional levels full of fucking lunatics right now. So like those three people I talked about on the Georgia State Election Board are political appointees. So the question becomes like, what does Georgia's secretary of state do? What does the governor do? Are they afraid of Trump's, Trump urging his mom to Bob to kill them? Do you know what I'm saying? Like, it's not just people of integrity. It's people that don't want to die.

Yeah. Yeah. And then you also hear aside from it's, you know, it's not like it, you know, there's also everyone who's on the complete other end of the political spectrum. Everybody's on the left in any capacity. But you also hear all the time about how there's, oh, really, there's a lot of, you know, Republicans too, still somewhere out there. who really, you know, they're not down with Trump and that type of thing.

I know he's like taking over the party and has it held hostage, but that they are still some who do exist who also wish he would go away because they don't like all the bullshit that's happened as a result. Don't give you wrong. I'm not defending those people because still you're at this point, you're complicit or worse and the whole thing regardless of how you feel about it unless you like put your money where your mouth is and basically walked away. But as a notice I am with conservatism as an ideology.

I do have a lot of friends who were like old school conservatives who I, you know, people I grew up in a small town. Like, you know, they go to church. They think abortion's wrong and I think taxes should be low. And like, I wish we could get back to like just debating taxes and health care policy. Absolutely. And so like I kind of like the hope is that there are enough Republicans who weren't down with a bunch of this insane bullshit. Looking up to cat turd as a fucking thought leader.

Right. Who just want to get past this and get back to arguing about taxes. Because they recognize even if they disagree with Kamala about like, whether or not rich people should pay 39% versus 36% that getting past this is more important than that for the time being because it's just not that big of a thing in the grand scheme of things, you know, versus not whether or not America collapses into semi-authoritarianism so Vladimir Putin can have free reign to like, we didn't talk about the big up top, but like Trump making the thing of the point of like talking about how you could have prevented

the war against Ukraine right now. this moment where Ukrainian troops are running amok in Western Russia. It's fucking hilarious this point. Did you see where Putin made that statement or whatever? It was like condemning the West for their silence on the Ukraine

aggression. Ukraine aggression? Yeah. He's like, do they care nothing for the dead innocence in the streets? Do they care? Like this whole elaborate thing about how it. I do. I do care about them. I wish the war wasn't happening. Because they're just Russian civilians whose towns are getting invaded right now.

Well, they're in order to evacuate because there are no Russian troops to defend Russia because they're all in fucking Ukraine. Yes. Right. Yeah. Yeah, I don't want any innocence to get killed, but I'm just saying it's a hell of a thing for Vladimir Putin to say. Which is, yeah, which is wild. He's too busy framing women's boxers for failed chromosomal test. So, yeah, that's what he's on about.

Oh, yeah, by the way, final update on that. Imman Khalif, Kahlif, have your say your name. I think it's Halif, but yeah, Kee, Sime, but yeah. Won the gold medal, ultimately. Ended up winning the gold. Not only won the gold, but ensured that America won the gold medal count over China by beating a Chinese lady in the final. So she deprived our glorious Chinese communist overlords of her propaganda victory in favor of Grand Ole USA, baby. Hell yeah.

And now she's like suing like J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk and some of those people for like defamation or slander. whatever the appropriate term is in this case. But yeah, it's I think she's suing in France. So it's like I'd say it's like a hate speech thing, which wouldn't fly in America because hate speech is legal here. So yeah.

Anyway, so that I worked out pretty cool. Loved the Olympics personally. I thought they were pretty kick-ass this time around and I'm looking forward to us hosting here in L.A. in four years. I'm not looking forward to that. But the Olympics were, these Olympics were fine. But like the vibe shift about

whether or not the stuff these people care about. They spent two weeks rooting against America, rooting for America to fail, hating everything it was happening there, insulting American athletes, complaining about the opening ceremonies. Ratings were up like three or fourfold. Everybody had a great time. No one cares about their dumb bullshit. And I hope this falls election results,

which they want to make about stuff like whether or not the Olympic opening ceremony is too fucking woke. I hope it doesn't matter. And everyone can go back to being sane. And we can talk about, like, I don't know, state legislatures being weird on this show. Yep. From your lips to the fake Lord's ears, brother. All right, thank you all for watching. Remind you again real quick.
