Episode Date: August 23, 2023

This week we discuss Texas’s latest salvo in their ongoing battle with Florida for the title of Worst and Craziest State. It involves the border, buses, drunks, and corrupt Christians, among other things. We got some other good stuff for yuns, too. Join us. Support the show

What's up, everybody, welcome back. Happy Skews Day to you. It's August 22nd, 2023. I'm Trey. That's Mark. What's up, Mark? I'm excited about today's show. It's going to be a fun more.

We're talking about some real old-fashioned corruption deep in the heart of Texas. We get talking about it's got everything. You got drunks. You got Uber-related affairs. You got perverts. You got pensions. stealing you got it's got it's got everything it's very texas um yeah it's very old school i didn't uh i actually didn't i'm sure you know all about it but i didn't know until i did a patreon

episode on him about like lbj like straight up like buying elections and tech like through intimidation and bribery and stuff like that and it's like a documented fact like when he was you know coming up in texas politics whatever so they got a long and i mean i'm sure every state probably has a long and story of history of that but uh texas truly shines so Machine politics, baby, back when America worked. A couple of things we get to the show. Happy birthday to my wife. I got him taking her Thai food to her act during league later as a present.

That's what that's what you wanted. That's lovely. I just ordered my son's Thai food tonight. So it's a Thai food Tuesday, baby. Yeah, I'm a happy birthday. Aaron. Katie left for Tennessee for like 10 days this morning because she's doing work on the house I grew up in because we're like trying to like sell it or whatever.

So like Katie, I'm at home. with the kids while she's like you know ripping out insulation and putting up drywall and stuff because that's how our relationship works but anyway so yeah fun times over here yeah i'm i'm on strike slash unemployed my wife's working so we're uh we're we're we're we're house husbands i like it uh so a couple so trump's going to turn himself in thursday got two hundred thousand dollars bond which is both not enough and like why yeah right also late breaking story this evening uh the IT got mora lago uh name was Tavares, I think.

He apparently flipped or whatever. That one guy, that, like, his, like, right-hand man guy, or the one that, the dude with the pool and all that shit, who, like, went down with him. That's Walt Nioda. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tavares was the guy, Walt Nauta, was trying to get to delete the footage unsuccessfully or whatever. So I guess Trump's Super PAC was paying for his lawyer, and the government was like, if you want to keep her testimony the way it is, you can, but we're going to charge you with perjury.

And he's like, okay, I'll get my own lawyer. and they immediately retracted all his testimony and changed it. So there you go. That's your Trump update for the day. Before, I was laughing before we got on because I saw this story, medieval times and they're ever going, a longgoing struggle against their one restaurant that's trying to unionize is when it might get dinged for unfair labor practices. And one of the things that we're doing is they tried to get the union's TikTok account

banned. And that's so funny to me because imagine you're the lawyer for medieval times. the boss comes in. It's like, we got to stop. The songs on TikTok are radicalizing the proletariat as the Greenite sings about wage slavery. Yeah, like trying to get rid of the bard. Like they got a bard on TikTok, whatever. You got like a magistrate that you're making your case too.

It's a barrister. This guy's a barrister with like a powdered wig and all that stuff. Represent medieval time. They should do that. I mean, why not like that? Just like keep everything the same about what they're going for, but just old timey it up, even in the courtroom. whatever. I feel like that would endear people to them

further. Yeah, like if the execs get, do get ding for the National Labor Review Board should, like, put them in stocks and tar and fed them and shit. That would hit them. Tomatoes at them. Yeah. So, also your home state, Tennessee's add it again, Bill Lee called

a special session about gun control, I guess, because he, the typical Republican evolution on any issue is you're personally touched by it. So I guess he had two friends, the Covenant School got shot. So now he's like, maybe for a little more gun control. and the Tennessee three are also about to get kicked out again because they keep getting their mics cut off for trying to get it's just like just something happened in like the house there today right or something

yeah they made the debate rules you can't hold up signs so literally if you just if the covenant school parents held up an 8 by 11 sheet of paper that said gun reform please they could get kicked out of the gallery it's like that restrictive they think the Tennessee state troopers cleared out it's All very, like, just, they're doing the same shit that got everybody pissed off again the first time. And I don't know why we're doing this all over again. But Melissa Joan Hart gave a rousing speech yesterday about gun control in Nashville. She's been a long time of Republicans. But she's also involved with Mom's Demand because.

Melissa Joan Hart? Clarissa, she got up and explained it all. She explained it all. Yeah. She explained it all to the Tennessee House. And she's a hardcore Republican. I didn't know any of that. She's one of my head every now and like, whatever happened.

to her, but I didn't think that would be the answer, but okay. It wasn't to the house for the record, just at this like at a rally in Nashville. But yeah, she's a, she was like a Bob Dole supporter when she was on Supreme of a Teenage Witch, so she's about a longtime Republican, but apparently Republican supports gun control. I want, so the Marion, we talked last week at the Mary Marion County record, the little newspaper that could that got shut down to the local sheriff and we were making fun of the strife and effective at all because it was about a story they weren't even going to publish. they got the whole world to know about this business owner's DUI, police chief being a sex

pervert. So another aspect of this, the judge that signed the warrant, turns out she has her own history of multiple DUIs, the woman named of Judge Laura Veyar, who was arrested twice in 2012. The second time she was driving a county-owned vehicle who didn't belong to her. It was apparently another county official is when she was a prosecutor, and I guess she was, I don't know, I have an affair or whatever. Let me take that back. I don't know that.

I know she was driving another public servant's car drunk. She crashed it into a school football team shed. Pretty American, very middle American of her. Also, she's a prosecutor at the time, but still. Yeah, now she's bad. The judge in my hometown got caught with a bunch of cocaine back in the 90s and just kept on being the judge forever after that. It may still be for all I know.

Yeah, I mean, a small-time sheriff or judge is basically. a license to do some low-level cocaine trafficking. That's the main reason to do it in most of America. But I can't, this people, like, no one knew they were up to any of this shit, and no one cared, but they had to harass this newspaper. By the way, the newspaper was back on, back on line. And the publisher said, fuck it and published the story.

They didn't think they had the goods on the police chief on. So now, like, that's on the record now. So, like, it's, I don't, I don't, fuck all these people. I'm glad they're getting embarrassed, if not any sort of accountability. Yeah, so this next story I may want to talk about was sad. Do you want to talk about it or no? I mean, it is super sad, but I don't know.

I feel like she sort of deserves a shout-outs not the right way to use in the context. You know what I mean. I'm not going to spin it as sad. I'm going to talk about it as a life well-lived. And she just lady did get 66 years. This woman last name's Lori Carlton. She was shot and killed out here in California a couple days ago by this right-wing psycho because she had a pride flag in the window of her store. She had a husband and nine kids.

We know it was a hate crime. The guy got killed by the cops a little bit later because he was shooting at sheriff's deputies, but he made a bunch of hateful statements about the pride flag before killing her. The guy, the asshole's name was Travis Ikegouchi. He had a bunch of stuff on his social media about all gays being groomers and perverts and pedophiles. And so about this lady, she was 66 at the time of her death. The kind of person she was. There was a blizzard earlier this year. And she opened up her store at anybody who needed stuff and let them have it for free if they needed supplies to those who were stuck in the blizzard.

And this, the kicker to the story that like really got me when I was reading it last night, I'll just read this right here. And Miss Carlton's Lake Arrowhead home after the shooting, her family opened a package. they've been left at the doorstep. The flag at the store had begun to fade. Ari Carlton said her mother had ordered a new one. So people had continuously stolen her pride flag and it got dirt. Like it's like, and she just kept hanging right to fuck back up. And the way I'll put it is, no one's going to remember this asshole psycho whose name I'm

not going to say anymore. But Lori Carlton will be level, we'll live on fondly remembered for every with everyone who ever knew her. So, yeah. So person would you rather be? Right. It's, I mean, it's wild, you know, like this happened in California. I see pride flags all over California and, you know, businesses and elsewhere all the time.

And it's just a wild and tragic thing. But it's also another that goes without saying. And also we've said it, said versions of it repeatedly over the, you know, past months or years or whatever. But like, this is why it is genuinely so dangerous that the whole, this whole narrative they're building about, you know, they're all groomed. And, like, wrapping it up, wrapping LGBT up in, like, child molestation and child trafficking and all the Q&N shit and all the shit that they're, like, getting so into it because it, like, gives these people some kind of justification in their brains for taking extreme measures like this. Do you know what I mean? It's not, it takes it beyond just, like, I don't agree with that lifestyle. I think it's a sin or even it grosses me out or whatever.

And it takes into another level of, like, these people are evil and must. must be stopped. And when the people who have that opinion are also like the gun nut lunatic, you know, uh, faction, then this is the kind of shit that ends up happening. Yeah. You only follow like nine Twitter accounts and they were all the ones you'd expect. It was like Jordan Peterson and Matt Walsh and the same people, all these psychos follow.

And I honestly don't know how these people sleep at night. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. They'll probably call them some kind of false flag or something. something like that.

Oh. There's got to be more to it or, you know, whatever. They'll spin it. Yeah. If they acknowledge it at all. They already have. They're saying that the public story is fake that she's actually killed by her brother over some lover's quarrel because they were in some sort of incest relationship or something. It's like they did it.

They did it immediately. Immediately. Yeah. Yeah. That is wild. All right. Well, moving on with us as always is producer Matt. This is weekly skews.

Before we continue with the show, I want to remind you of a few things. Number one, if you want to see me perform live. Uh, I was, thanks for everybody that came to Burlington, Vermont last weekend.

Also at Trey Crowder, you can find a link to pre-order the book. I wrote with Corey Forrester called Around Here and Over Yonder. It's a humorous travel game. I'd written my two hillbilly dipshits.

So we hope you enjoy that. Also, Matt wanted me to remind you guys because I, you know, I was doing pretty good about it for a while and then I forgot.

We hope you will consider signing up on Patreon and get some more skews in your life. Now, as for the show, tonight is a reference. We're talking about Texas. Continuing their ongoing battle with Florida for the craziest ass holiest state. Texas has opened up a new salvo this weekend, like Mark said, a lot of lunacy to get into. Hard to believe, but it's true. But before we

get to all that, I want to start with the Daily Dumbass. Matt, graphic, please. Tonight's D.D. Anybody from South Dakota who doesn't realize it's just a short walk down to Mexico. We'll see Matt's governor, Christy Noam. And the vast majority of the drugs in the Midwest are coming right through South Dakota on these reservations that I can't do anything

about. The people of South Dakota live that bring on the front line of this mess every single day because the cartels are set up in South Dakota too. Right, South Dakota. Front line of the border crisis. So there's a lot going on here. This is Christy Nob.

speaking at a, like, a, it was a live stream to appearance at the border with Greg Abbott, Republican Governor Greg Abbott, Texas, Kim Reynolds of Iowa, Jim Pill and Nebraska, and Kevin Stead of Oklahoma. They're there showing support for Abbott's, you know, Texas Operation Lone Star, which is like his psychotic border quest to like try to kill as many migrants as possible with razor wire and shit. We're going to talk about that a little bit more later. So there's a really interesting thing with, um, uh, from a Republican pollster. yesterday he was talking about how like border security polls way more importantly with Republicans the fur you get from the border which is very very weird to me that is yeah that

is weird but it's like explanation for it's because like the ones that live on the border like actually deal with it like instead of just reading about it or hearing about hearing the horror stories about it they like they're there so they see real people and stuff like that like I guess it's sort of the same way with like rural people imagine big city crime and homelessness versus like me and you driving around L.A. or whatever. It's just like if you're familiar with it, it's just sort of an everyday problem. But if you're like, if you're dealing with a cartoonish version of your imagination, then it's worse. But like, so the stuff going on to the border is a big complicated sort of mess. And what bugs me about this is there's no like actual real world grappling with.

how to like make it better for people who live there or the people who are crossing or the rest of us or anything it's just like all this cartoonish shit like set Dakota does have like a problem with fentanyl and methamphetamine um but like we've talked about this before but how the cartels have drones right they're not come fentanyl's not coming in in the butt crack of like a salvador and migrant right how these are The cartels have billions of dollars. They have better plans than that. It comes across in the wheel wells of 18 wheelers.

And the good use boats to go around the border on the west coast. And, you know, it's like. Right. Yeah. Stopping all the, like, families, turning to swimming over and stuff like that is a completely separate issue than, like, the drugs that the cartels are transported or across the border. And, yeah, they got a problem there, you know, South Dakota's a state in the U.S., like, you know, they've all got problems with fentanyl. meth and whatnot. Right.

But here's another story I found. I was like, I wonder how bad South Dakota's federal problem is. Here's a headline, South Dakota's overdose deaths have the greatest decrease across the U.S. in 2022. So it's actually less of a problem than most places than getting, like,

so, okay, according to the CDC, overdose deaths in South Dakota, this is overall fentanyl methamphetamine the leading two causes. We're down to 18% from previous years. And 18% because not a lot of people living South Dakota is 102 deaths to 84. Now, I'm not saying 84 of people dying

isn't a big deal, but it's not a areas to most states. Yeah, South Dakota, that's like, that's like 38% of the people in South Dakota. You know what I'm right? That's rough there.

Yeah. Yeah. It's Matt left, you know, they might bump it up to 39%. You know, Matt, Matt probably,

Matt probably knows 79 of the 84. Yeah. So it also this one county, I only found one county where this guy was talking about it, but like 80% of the drug, drug possession arrests were for methamphetamine, not fentany.

But they always talk about fentanyl because fentanyl and their heads comes from, comes from China. of via Mexico, right? But methamphetamine is just made by your cousin Gary in his trailers. You can't really rag on migrants for that. So, like, they just don't talk about the biggest issue. It's weird.

I didn't realize that meth had that kind of stay in power. I mean, look, I did. But also, I'm just saying, like, I remember it's weird. It's kind of, it feels like it's almost sort of backwards, odd for America. I know. But, like, I can remember when I was in school in rural Tennessee and, like, the late 90s, early 2000s, the DARE program and stuff, it was most. mostly all about meth at the time.

You know what I mean? It was all meth stuff. Like meth was the big crisis. Meanwhile, opioids is what was actually like ripping our, you know, community apart, like actively at that time. But back then it was still, you know, doctors prescribing it's not even addictive and all that type of shit.

You know what I mean? They're talking about meth. Well, now it's like flip-flopped. It's like everybody's talking about fentany, which is a problem. But I mean, 80% is meth. Like that also, that just kind of surprised me. I didn't know meth was still, you know, all the rage. And you guys are only listening.

Some classic meth PSAs here, one with a farmer sitting there and it says, meth, I'm on it. And it's a young kid football team, meth, we're on it. It's like, that didn't focus group that or nothing. Like, how many layers of quality control did that go through? Where I was just like, yep, I'll see no issue with this whatsoever. Yeah, yeah. I just like they did I can't like it's difficult to argue about policy solutions in the country where like half people just totally detached from reality like ronda's yeah given his speech over and over and over again it's going to like a applause line in a stump speech where he says when he's president he'll have basically people crossing the border summarily executed to stop illegal drugs like oh a war on drugs right wish somebody thought to try that.

Yeah, you know, and it's like, again, those aren't the people bringing the drugs in. While you're shooting, like, poor migrants at the border, the quartels would be inventing fucking teleportation technology to take it straight to South Dakota. So I don't understand, like, it's just like, by the way, nobody like, I was listening to a podcast who's trying to explain the funnel crisis because like, no one's really done a good explainer for why are they put it in cocaine and shit. I know, like, why? But, like, one thing I didn't know is like, funnel doesn't really hit for people to do it. It's like a bad substitute for heroin that doesn't feel as good and also doesn't last as long and has a much higher risk of death. So really, if you want to get fentanyl over your doses down,

more heroin would be more heroin. Yeah, all right. Yeah. But like, worth a shot. No pun intended. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, the whole, like, it's always been weird to me than putting it in cocaine, too. But I guess it's just like, it just, I don't know. It adds something to it. a batch of cocaine, even though that thing could be bad. I mean, I don't get it because it's like, I don't know why you'd want to kill, you know, your consumer base immediately anyway, but.

The short answer is, uh, it's cheaper than cocaine and also American cocaine, like, this is a long explanation drill down, but like American cocaine is so stepped on that no one really knows what it feels like. So as long as it gets the person high, I guess, for a super great cocaine, I guess feels like, uh, ecstasy. But Americans think of it as like a super strong cup of coffee, right? But like it said, so it's just if you substitute something like cocaine and a fentanyl, it'll still get the person probably give them a better high while saving you money. And yeah, you don't want them to die, but also like that is a whole other conversation. Like sometimes having a batch of drugs that kills people is good advertisement for the strength of the drugs. Right. Yeah, because it's like, oh yeah, that's how you know is the good shit, which is wild.

But, you know, drugs, man, hell of a thing. Yeah, don't do them. If you do them, get the good shit. Use fentanyl test strips if you're a person who likes to use any, basically any illegal drug right now. But, like, it's bad for the rest of us when these people get into power because reality, like, none of their ideas with the confront with reality at all. And that's usually a critique of liberalism. Like, there's all expression like a conservative, just a liberal who's been mugged, right? That, like, your fru-frew ideas about crime bump up against reality in the minute, like, you see.

to meet the actual criminal, which is like, whatever, fuck that idea. But it's also a problem for them when it comes to campaigning. And this story, like, I found really amusing. So one of the problems is, like, yes, everyone knows Trump is super unelectable. The problem is, GOP primary voters have been propagandized to believe that Joe Biden is senile and dying to the point that they don't think they need to worry about electability concerns. That's just Ronda Santis is a big problem, is that no one cares that he's the more

electable, I don't think he is, but the more electable Donald Trump was his pitch. Right. Because Fox News viewers, all these videos of Bill Biden falling off his bike and shit, right? And it's what's weird because it's kind of like, that's kind of ironic too in a way, because I feel like that was going on in 2016, but with Trump, do you know what I'm saying? Like everything, like, I mean, I didn't, I did honestly didn't really think Trump would actually win. I was worried about it, but I've gunned in my head, I didn't think he would. And I think there were a lot of Democrats who were like, oh, well, I mean, there's no way. he's going to win.

And then now they've got that going on, but with Biden because they're just so good. It's also like how much they hate Joe Biden, you know. And this was the same thing with Barack Obama, too. It's been the same way with all of them. It's like, whereas he's like, you know, super moderate, pretty milk toast bland. He's not like a raging progressive or anything like that.

You know what I mean? But like he's still, you know, the new antichrist in their eyes just because, he's a Democratic president or whatever, it's just there's never going to be, I feel like there used to be presidents who like, whatever party they were from, they could still become popular with everybody, right? I don't think that that is ever going to happen unless there's some kind of paradigm shift in this country's politics completely. I just don't see that happening anymore. It's just this side versus this side, you're on one or the other, except for the weird offense sitters who I will never understand

at this point. Yeah, I mean, they were able to turn Barack was basically like a very sane and lactose centrist too, but they were able to turn him to the Antichrist because of, you know, he's tan. Yes. And his middle name's Hussein. Right.

Yeah, it's always been a weird play with Biden. But like the thing is like they're so like propaganda. I was like this from this video, I'm worried we lost Matt because he thought it'd be graphic in a little bit. So maybe we won't see this. But this video from the like, Republican National

Committee research Twitter account sent out this video of Joe Biden in Hawaii yesterday and they thought it was like bad and Matt if you have

this video if you're alive but if you could play it Yeah let's see if something's going on with Matt here I can uh

I see him in the dock he's clicking around in the dot so it'll be all right okay yeah he was slipping on your graphics there Mark

what's going home all right what's the boss's name that's you're doing pal you guys

you guys have a boot on too you guys catch the boots out here that's a hot down man all right So Joe Biden's visiting the Maui disaster, if you listen to the podcast version, and he's talking to the first responders.

And you notice is one of the dogs they have there searching for, you know, dead bodies and maybe survivors. You notice that the dog has boots on because the dog's walking around the debris and the ground's high. So that's some hot ground there, and he pets the dog. And they're treating this like it's a fucking scandal. I just don't. He has dementia because he wanted to pet a dog for half a second. Yeah, I don't get it. He acknowledged a dog.

That's supposed to be like an endearing, humanizing thing for a politician. You know what I mean? It's like, you know, I like, look, he's a person just like us. He likes dogs or whatever. And then, yeah, the hot ground thing, I mean, that's like a real problem with, you know. So the dog had some kind of protection on his feet, right? Is what you're saying? Right.

Right. Because he needs it because he'll fuck his feet all up because the ground is super high. So he sees that and says, yeah, there's some hot ground. Yeah. He's also rummaging around and smoldering debris. What is the problem with? I don't know. But this is apparently a super big, like the Biden's Maui response, which as far as I can tell,

has been textbook aggressive as far as you can do with it. Like, Hawaii is a very remote place on Earth. It's way far out there. It's one of the things that make it's so pleasant to, like, visit. You're away from everything. And the, like, you took him like six hours to declare a federal emergency response and, like, the Navy responded. It's like the governor of Hawaii and the mayor of Maui County both seem very happy with

disaster response. But like they fabricated this thing where Joe Biden didn't say anything about it for six days, which he had. And he spoke about it in Utah like a day later. But then there's a thing that happened where some right wing correspondent was doing the pool report. And he shouted a question and it didn't get an answer. And then he hired a lip reader to say that Joe Biden said no comment about the Maui. That's all the right way.

media's in the poor he has he no commented on Maui as if the president's saying anything does anything as opposed to like actually responding whatever he had said something anyway but they're really really mad about this dog thing and if you want to see what it looks like if you have this video clip of judge jeanine um map play it talking about talking to a dog are you kidding me this is a guy who goes to an inferno an inferno where a thousand people and children are missing because they cannot get any idea. They have been so destroyed. There's no odontology reports.

There's no fingerprints. There's no body frames. There's nothing. That's why they can't identify everyone. And he talks to a dog, and he talks about the fact that he almost lost a cat. Are you kidding me? He almost lost a cat.

Jill and I know what it's like to lose. This guy has been lying from the moment he came on the political scene. He has a lack of empathy. He is egocentric. He's got a condescending. sending smirk whenever anybody asks him a question from the press. He's lying and he's narcissistic.

So, like, I have abuse with Joe Biden, but being narcissistic and inhumane is not like one of the things I would use to describe him. Right. But, like, it's like the cat story, he talked about how his kitchen caught on fire one time, and

him and his wife thought that their cat had burned up and it made him really sad, and he was just talking about people, they were talking about people losing pets and shit. Like, it wasn't like Biden made himself the center of the story. He was just telling an anecdote from his life and somehow this is their takeaway from it. It's all very, very fucking stupid. Um, anyway, I think I don't even know how we, how do you talk to these people? Right. What was he supposed to do as far as the dog goes? Get that fucking dog out of here, get back to work. We got what, what's everybody doing here? Like, start cracking

whips or something. You know what I mean? Like, we need to be saving people. We can't have dogs around with, dogs are all happy with its tongue out, you know? Like, like, dogs are all good boys. A rescue dog is the best of the best boys. Yeah. I don't know, like, how you're not supposed to pet the dog and say, that's a good boy. Right. They demanded the president go there, which is just a photo op. So he talks to disaster workers and pets a dog.

That's a photo op. That's what you've been begging for. I don't fucking know. I remember there was another one when he visited Charles in England or whatever. He, like, stopped to talk to a guard, like one of the, one of the microphone hat guards, you know, which I feel like it's just like, that's just acknowledging that guy as a human. you know what I mean? How's your d'agling buddy type of thing? And like Charles, it looked to me like Charles is like, oh, we don't do that here.

You know what I mean? Don't speak to the help. That's what it looks like to me because Charles is like gesturing him away from him or whatever. And they made some huge ordeal out of that too. They're like, he has to be led around by the king like a dog because he keeps getting distracted by people to talk to. It's just like Obama with his tan suit and the mustard. whatever, he like gray Poupon or something and, you know, that type of shit. He had a salad with a roogula.

Yeah, yeah, they just don't, you know, they don't have much to go with. But they got a, they got a froth and rage. So they go with this shit. Dude, I am able to get into rage every week on this show about real stuff. There's real stuff. I swear to God, there's real stuff. We're raging at them. Right.

They do a lot of rage-inducing shit. Like, they're raged. at Joe Biden and you know the only like the things we get pissed off about at Joe Biden about are like things that they like about him you know what I'm saying or should like about him yeah or should like about it so you know yeah it's hard for them hard for them all right let's talk about Texas you want to yeah all right so me and Trey suffered through with simultaneous hurricane hurricane and earthquake over the weekend it was a while times during California hurricane turned out but another one turned out to be that

bad, not at least the part of the city where I live in. I'm sure it was awful for like the homeless population and people in certain neighborhoods. It was wild. Some of the pictures and stuff like shocked me because like I landed at noon and it was raining and like the hurricane wasn't even here yet and it was already raining pretty good at LAX. I was like, oh man, this is, this might get ugly. And then Katie drove me up to Burbank.

I live in Burbank. You live in the valley not far from me. And like it didn't get very bad here at all the whole time. But that's, so I was shocked. I saw some of the pictures, like that picture of Dodger Stadium looking like an island. Like, it's just surrounded by water just sitting there and like, you know, it looked like, you know, it got pretty rough. They had like knee-high floodwaters and Coachella Valley and stuff like that. But, you know, where we're at, it didn't really amount to too much, honestly, which, you know.

No, it wasn't as bad as anyone predicted, which wasn't that great for Governor Greg Abbott of Texas because he chose, though, first hurricane to hit Southern California since 1939 as an opportunity. to target a busload of immigrants to ship here. Yeah, this asshole will fucking put, I think, 40-some migrants on a bus to arrive in the middle of a hurricane. Is the bus driver an immigrant, too? Like, do you know what I'm saying? The bus driver is not like a good Texan? You know what I'm saying? Like, sending him into the heart of a hurricane driving a bus?

Like, I don't know. It's just wild. Yeah, it's like, I see what you're saying. I mean, like, that's a funny way to put it. It's like, you got, you got to draw straws to be the one good Texan to die making this stupid fucking point. Right. And this is the ninth bus he sent here this year. In June, they had a bus arrived with 42 migrants, several of them kids.

They'd spent 23 hours in a bus to get to L.A. When they'd sent them without any food or water, like, didn't stop, of course, because they'm afraid they're going to run off the bus. But like, what kind of fucking idiot thinks that we'll show the city of Los Angeles will send them 42 immigrants? Right. for a bus though to 42 immigrants in Los Angeles

is every fucking city bus right like it's not you're just torturing these people for nothing there's no like

we can handle it it's fine they're already put up in fucking hotels and shit and this is coming at the time that we're

that where Christy known was speaking earlier that big border crack down talking about how like immigration is a much more salient issue

for a Republican voters the further you get from the border on the actual border, Abbott's border response is losing support super rapidly, right? Because these are people who actually live there. People complained about, like, this one woman was like, she, she liked the idea of stopping the fact that a point like 10, 12 migrants a day would walk across her pecan farm, right? But in exchange, she's got a militarized border security voice

of a force of hundreds of jackboots trampling her fucking pecan farm. Right. Fuck this shit. The other way was better. It's like, this is not a solution to the problem. They're talking about state troopers installing razor wire. People, like, one guy, like, he owns, like, a, like a C-DU rental place on the, uh, on the river. And he was like, yeah, it was like, I thought it was a problem when migrants were coming

across where we're doing my boat tours and shit. But, like, also, like, he was horrified that like two people were brought to the hospital because of razor wire cuts that got on his section of the river. He's like, I don't want this. Yeah, right. I mean, he's like, yeah, he takes people out on that river, you know, for, aquatic leisure and now he's got to deal with like a razor wire obstacle course or whatever I'm sure he's not super into that you know if it happens like a good godfair in Texan he's going

to get sued or whatever for some shit Greg Abbott did and you just got like you know lethal detritus detritus whatever um you know strewn all around your like place of business now it's got to be a huge pain in the ass yeah it's just like this is so Like, even the Texas Department of Public Safety and Customs and Border Patrol was pushed back on Abbott's approach. When Border Patrol is like, this is getting too psycho, it's fucking too psycho. Yeah. Like, multiple people have drowned the river. Right.

Because these, like, these, like, the buoys have, like, saw blades in between them so you can't come across to the fucking buoys. Multiple people have drowned. There was an island in the middle of the Rio Grande that they, they bulldozed, so people couldn't rest on it. So they would be more likely to drown, trying to swim. across it if there's if the flow is heavy it's like this is not i don't know what the solution is this ain't it right but gregg abbott isn't even the main scumbag of one to talk about today we're talking about ken paxton ken paxton is the kind of guy dan patrick's another one who's lieutenant governor uh in uh in uh Texas where i can't believe they've been around this long

because there's such awful criminal shitheads who aren't even good at their job here's Ken Paxton on Steve Bannon Show a couple weeks ago, trying to say he stole Texas's electoral college votes for Donald Trump. If you play a little bit of this video, Matt. It's certainly critical to my state. And that's why we fought off these 12 lawsuits. We had them in Houston. We had them in San Antonio. We had them in Austin. We had them in the counties where you'd have the most liberal judges. And it was a concerted effort nationally with lots of money going into it. And just knowing that we had 12 losses that we had to win. And if we lost one of them, like we lost Harris County, Trump won by 620,000 votes in

Texas, Harris County mail-in ballots that they wanted to send out were 2.5 million. Those were all illegal, and we were able to stop everyone. All right. Had we not- Cut it, Matt. Nothing you said there was not a lie. He did not, Harris County did vote a lot by mail.

He did not stop a single vote from getting countering Harris County. But, like, yeah, Trump did barely win Texas, which tells you something about the psychotic state of Texas politics that is so utterly dominated by Republicans, where the votes are, but the votes are literally not that far apart. You're wondering why he's talking like this, why he's trying to sound as Trump as possible. It's because he just got impeached, and he might be removed from office coming up soon as his trial is going to be on September 5th. I mean, they've got to have like, they've got like a hardcore Republican super majority, right? in their state house. Like, what did this guy do that they are actually impeaching him or whatever? Because they don't, they don't do that, usually.

Not in the city anyway. You can get away with murder. If you got, you know. We're going to get to that, Tray. That's what the show's about, all right? But first, I want to tell, like, the reason he's doing this is because he only has support. He's such a shithead.

He only has support from outside the state really anymore. He might go to say we'd get enough votes to save his own ass. But, like, it's going to be barely. he's got the support of like Morton Taylor Green and Matt Gates and the online psychos, which is why he's trying to be Trumpy as hell. But his first response, like when he knew he was going to be impeached, talking about one of the reasons all these motherfuckers hate him, is he called for the, sorry, the Speaker of the House,

who's also a Republican by the name of Dave Phelan, to resign accusing him of being drunk on the House floor. All right. This was his Hail Mary plea to try to stop his impeachment inquiry from going forward. it did not work it only made everybody matter in him and if you want to know

if he was drunk I want to play this video and I'll let you vote the date failing Mr. Ramey sends up an amendment to the amendment to separate of the office to adoptions amendment

a record of voters requested by Missile Middleton the clerk ring the bell from Mr. Hunter voting I'm Mr. Rennon voting aye Mr. Rennie voting aye. Johnson Harris running eye All right, you could have bet

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I like the I like the hammer part. Okay, great. You guys are only listening. I'm sorry, but yeah. Sorry, Hunter rooting eye. I have all members, budded. There'd be 90 eyes and 40 nays.

Something like this gavel there or whatever. Yeah, I'm going to do. That hit. I mean, he seems pretty hammered to me, like, no pun intended, again. Yeah. So there's two puns. But, like, if his whole thing's like, I think this dude is drunk, then like, I don't know, I kind of also think this dude is drunk.

He's he's hella drunk. But like, there's one, like, two takeaways here. One, he's so under the influence. He's being fooled in to think that Ken Paxon's corrupt. Or two, even a fucking drunk. drunken asshole because Ken Paxson is fucking correct. But I'm going to quote here from my Texas politics right over the name C.D. Hooks, uh, being drunk on the house floor, if he was, is the legislative equivalent

of a classly misdemeanor in Texas. And the house remembers often work multiple 18 hour days back to back. Allmakers drink, which packs him knows because he has served there for a decade. So basically it's like, this is Texas. Everybody's drunk all the time. Yeah, we'll drink. We shoot through the saline, you know, it's just, it's Texas. It's just a little different.

It's like a saloon in the state house. Yeah. So his fight with the house has been pretty funny. Again, this is Republican dominated. So this is the inter-Republican fucking scandal or fight. Kim Paxons repeatedly said they don't have any evidence to impeach him. So they weren't going to release any evidence ahead of the impeachment, but he made the house so mad. They said, fuck it and dropped 4,000 pages of evidence. All right. The bulk of it's about, it's a lot of details about Paxon misused his office to help his friend named Nate Paul, who's an Austin real estate investor and campaign donor, who has been investigated about federal authorities as his businesses were floundering. basically Paxton

Paxton said you can't impeach me because you're drunk and the drunk said fuck you I'm impeaching you and they said you don't have any evidence and fuck you here's 4,000 pages of evidence they got you dead to rights this is all deeply personal these are all personal beefs

which adds to the intrigue you're never going to be aware of all of them but like all these among these allegations they include stuff that he used a burner phone and sequel email accounts and a fake Uber name to hide his relationship with Nate Paul and his own mistress

Let's talk about Nate Paul for a second What Paxson actually accused of doing He forced his staff to write a 1 a.m. legal opinion declaring foreclosure sales unsafe because of COVID Because the state was trying to foreclose on Nate Paul's properties Which is deeply funny because Kim Paster was a COVID denier. Right. And the pause on foreclosures and evictions was not to help investors

It was to help people not lose their houses. Right. So his buddy is this big investor who was facing foreclosure on his faltering businesses. And then Paxton, there was a COVID denier, said that that was unethical to foreclose on his buddy's businesses because of COVID. Yeah. He had nine properties who were about to go into. This guy was a billionaire who got way, way underwater for whatever reason, I don't know. And somehow it was doing improper shit with his money.

They got the feds interested. So what Paxton tried to do, when Paxton tried to do, was he tried to appoint a special prosecuted target Paul's adversaries, including, like, the FBI agents who were investigating Paul. All of you can tell that what Paxton got out of this was a $25,000 campaign donation, his house remodeled, a job for his mistress, and an Uber account that Paul paid for, which seems like not a lot to try to go to prison for. Right. Maybe it was a hell of a kitchen remodel.

But being the Texas Attorney General and trying to investigate the FBI, to defend one guy's financial shit hittery is like really yeah there's got to be there has to be something else to that he's got to have some kind of like I don't know there's got to be some skeletons and some closets or something or there's something going on with these two dudes for him to go to bat for him to that degree because like you said 25 grand or whatever it doesn't seem like enough at risk at all like just blatantly being corrupt in order to help your one rich friend out you know what I mean like they've killed some horrors together or something I don't

about a lot yeah I wouldn't doubt it but a lot of the testimony in the in the impeachment inquiry is like from people they used to work for paxton they're saying that like he was deeply envious of other people's financial situations and thought he deserved to be a lot of richer and it was basically like stuff like just basically that drove most of his behavior that and having an affair with it with a younger woman um so napal by the way it was like a rags to riches story and if you wonder why his like crimes are overlooked one of his main investors when he started his billion dollar real estate fund. was the pension fund for the Austin Police Department. So they couldn't afford to lose their money, so that's part of this. But so they quote here from article about it, walk through downtown Austin, it's rapidly developing nearby neighborhoods. It's impossible to miss the massive black banders

draped up for office buildings, warehouses, and bars. Another world-class project, reads one post of the metal setting of the squad industrial building downtown. His company is called World Class, right? So that's another world-class project. Other banners just say, quote, DJ Khaled, and say another one.

So he was like a DJ Khalid fan who's turned that into his fucking real estate company. These, this is, oh, God, the weirdest people. Yeah, everybody's a cartoon, man, always. Yeah. So, uh, Paul apparently when his building had not, again, I mentioned he had nine buildings getting foreclosed on to make this look like a grassroots thing. Like it was a bunch of poor people trying to stop poor people from getting infected. He paid fake protesters to protest Nate Paul's buildings being foreclosed. closed on to try to make it into

himself into a left-wing call-sele-le- all right these guys oh god let's talk about the affair all right so he had Nate Paul Paxton did

pay for an Uber account under an alias we called himself Dave P Paxton didn't even come up with a fake whole last name for himself he just called him yeah he used it not just to hide

the fact he was meeting for this, having an affair with this woman from his wife, but also to hide his meetings with Nate Paul. He paid for meetings for rides to meet with Paul. Also, like I said, he paid, he had Paul give his mistress a job. But like the thing is like the why now part of this is interesting because Paul's been corrupt, Paxton, sorry, has been corrupt for like fucking decades. Then he read like a short list of stuff he's been doing. He was charged securities fraud in 2015 and he still hasn't gone to trial for that because he keeps getting and delayed. Among other infractions, he took money from a company that benefited from a state contract

that he invested in a property in his district that a local government soon buy a markup. In private life, he was a probate lawyer adjudicating wills in the states, and he stood accused of improperly skimming money off the top from a wealthy, deceased client. He famously stole fellow lawyers Montblot dead at the Collin County Courthouse and only returned the lawyer's caught red-handed on security camera footage. He stole another lawyer's fucking. yeah until he was caught on camera dude that's like that might sound like well first of all i don't know shit i'm a fancy pen dumb but a mom like that like how much we talk like what's that worse it's

got to be a pretty sweet pen for it to be worth mentioning like uh matt can you google and put it in the chat because uh yeah i'm interested pens is what we're talking about here but anyway it might sound like a relatively smaller thing but like if you'll anybody will do that is like a you know uh duplicitous pathological bag of shit you know what I'm saying like doing it and then like get caught red-handed doing it it's like just utterly shameless it's definitely indicative of something yeah so the uh matt says 1500 bucks 1500 bucks for a pen I'll stick with a bick um yeah I like the gel ones like the jail ones yeah those are those are nice yeah uh so the whine-out part of this what happened recently was uh uh uh uh

a bunch of whistleblowers came forward about a bunch of corrupt shit going on the Attorney General's office. Paxton illegally fired them. They sued him. He knew he was going to lose. He settled for $3.3 million in taxpayer money. And then he asked the state lawmakers

to pay for the settlement. So he's able to do that because this part confused me at first. But so he's able to do that because they're suing the office of the attorney general. So the office of the attorney, the office of the attorney general settled for $3.3 million.

Right. That's why, and which, yeah, so that's taxpayer money. And so he goes to the state Congress. It's like, hey,

I need $3.3 million by the way. Yeah. This fuck up I'm trying to cover up over here. Yeah, some hush money. Okay. So even though it's a trivily amount of money for the Texas state budget,

they were like, this is fucking embarrassing. We're not going to do it. Pay it out of your own budget, stupid. You're not even actually doing any lawyer work. You're stealing the money anyway. I used some of that $3.3 million.

So they basically refused to pay it. And then the impeachment is the byproduct of that. So it's not they were even frustrated with all the years and years of corruption. They didn't want him to drag their name into it is all they were asking for. And he couldn't even not do that. But the punchline to all this is that one of the state senators who would be sitting on his trial to society who's removed from office is his wife, Angela Paxton, whose affair has been revealed. who we've been cheating on was revealed as apeachment inquiry.

Now, awkward. They, she would have had the opportunity to the funniest fucking thing of all time, except the Senate voted that she should be recused from it because of her personal connection to the case, which is the opposite of what should happen. She has more information about what a shithead is than anybody else involved in this thing.

Now, she might still have been voted to impeach because this is what there's evangelical Christian family is like we're the yeah stand by your mine type thing yeah yes but like because this lady by the way i can't really feel sorry for anybody involved in this like angela paxton she's one of these super hard right pro-life people her and ken co-founded one of those awful fraud mega churches outside of dallas um she also in february of 2019 she introduced the senate bill which would have allowed her husband again who's the attorney general the power to issue exemption from securities regulations.

Remember, he's literally still awaiting trial of securities fraud charges. And she's trying to give him the authority to do more securities fraud. What I'm saying is like, fuck drunk-ass date feeling. Fuck Ken Paxton. Fuck Greg Abbott.

Fuck Angela Paxton. I hope they all fucking lose with this. Whatever is going on here. And this is only going to get stupider because Brad Parscale, Trump's former campaign manager, one that parted with the Camer's Analytica to do all that digital fuckery in 2016.

He's running a digital effort to keep Kempaxon in an office by recruiting the psycho right-wing Gen Z TikTok influencers. There's no level of dumb this cannot get to. What is the rationale for, because you said earlier also that like the, like the, you know,

extremely lunatic maga contingent like Martyr-Telagrin and Gates and them, they're like back, him too and now this is that like but i mean why like why what why is he worth them going to bat like that against the whole super republican texas state legislature you know what i mean like well republicans are objectively pro corruption in general sure yeah this guy's got the micans of a real star i think yeah ken's pax is one of his psycho attorney general is also suing and biden over everything so he's like a real maga star he was like he tried to he tried to overturn the

election for Trump. So, like, they're calling the psychotically right-wing House senators and state reps rhinos. They're saying that the Democrats secret control the state house in Texas. I don't know how. Sure. Why they govern the way they do if they would. I'm about to say, what are they doing with that power then? If it's secretly controlled by the Democrats, they're focusing all that on just this one dude instead of doing a bunch of other Democrat shit instead of all the crazy right-wing shit that Texas stay doing as a state. They're just a peaching

Ken Paxton to replace them with some other equally right-wing psycho who won't steal pens. That's the limits of what they're going to do. So yeah. Shee way. Maybe somebody should mess with Texas. I don't know. But Matt, if you got some questions and or comments for us,

put them up there. Tennessee bear says some Montblonks. I like to, Montblancs go for up to $16,000. That's one hell of a. pin right there you know yeah uh what you're what you're gonna write with a pin that fancy tray you're not making to do list with that right it's just like big deals signing big deal exactly yeah john on youtube says a fancy fountain pen is useless to communicate with the crayon brigade yeah

fair enough um yeah it's one of them yeah one of them pens it's got the the you know it don't have a ball point at the end it's got that you know like the the tip i don't know i'm trying to say Looks like a little arrow. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I kind of like the ball. I like the old-fashioned ball. The other ones, like, feel scratchy stuff.

Like, I like, I can't really eat popsicles because I like the feeling of the wood on my teeth. Okay. All got our things. Yeah. Suzanne Smith says jail pens are da bomb. I like how you use debombed because that's, that's chronologically appropriate terminology for praising the big gel pens because, you know, big in the 90s. I don't know. Jell Pins may still be out here killing it for all.

And I hope so because they were a good quality item. Wasn't expecting all the comments to be pen focused, but I'm fine with it. I'm here for it. Still going. Candace says Sharpies are my flex. Yeah. I was going to say I have terrible handwriting. I used to say I had the handwriting of a serial killer.

But then I went to my hometown, clean out that house. I was talking about earlier. Found a bunch of papers I had written as a high schooler and sent some pictures of it to you and Cori and Durr, whatever. and you guys started making fun of me for having, like, stupid girly handwriting. You said I write fancy, which really threw me for a loop. Mo RFD says, hit the like button. Thank you, Mo. Yes, everybody, please.

Hit the light button. It helps, apparently. But yeah, like, share, subscribe. Kim Cousato, long-time skewer, says, is it true that the Georgia State House is changing the rules so they can remove Fannie Willis from office for no damn reason? One guy called for something, right? Like a Georgia State Senator was like, I demand. investigation impeachment or whatever but the last thing i saw about that was i didn't see

about it recently there was like there was a move to try to do it a couple weeks ago uh a month like months ago and then the most recent movement on i saw somebody tried to bring a court case to take it out of our jurisdiction and they they lost i'm not sure i mean i'm not sure finally well's this case is going to be the most important one for the the january six related federal one feels like the they're the real deal although he's she's actually prosecuting other shitheads besides trump so that would hit for me that they all call Uh, some, Yeah.

And isn't she still, she's saying she's going to do it all at once? She's trying, but they're all making motions. Like Mark Meadows is trying to move his to federal court, which is like, I didn't, I didn't need you could do this, but sometimes you can still move a state charge to federal court. But, yeah, law dumb. Law dumb, as always. Okay is wonderful. Says, uh, healthcare shootings, inflation, climate change.

No, ink pens are the issue. far no further. Pilot G2 for the win. Pilot G2 is the type of pan. I think he's saying you won't press impugn out of his cold dead hands. I think when I was in school, there were rapid advances in pencil and patent technology. We got the mechanical pencil when I was a kid. And then we had those, remember those pins with that four different colors in one thing? I knew that's what you're going to say.

Yeah. I never happened to that. Revolutionary. I don't know. I saw one at some point. in the recent, somewhat recent past. They got like eight or nine colors on some of them now. I didn't even know you could have that many colors of ink.

But yeah. Oh, damn. Yeah, they're still out here working on it. Or weren't you soon? Miss Anonymous 617 says, a Fox host really said Biden let the hurricane hit California. I just can't with these people. I saw that clip.

It was Kennedy, the former MTV, VJ. And I think she was clearly joking. She was like, the Biden, the hurricane came up from, Mexico, so of course Biden let it in. And I was like, I was like, I don't mind being unfair to these people, but I was like, that's clearly tongue in cheek, even though Kennedy sucks.

I just think in that instance, she was just making a joke. It was a joke about, I mean, it's cool, but. Clearly, yeah, clearly all the gay sex out here is what called the hurricane. We all know that, you know, that's pretty standard. Yeah, I don't know.

What was the thing, Trump, Trump, when he was president, a hurricane and a Sharpie? Because, we're talking Sharpies. We're talking hurricanes. You remember what I'm talking about? He like, there's like a hurricane coming through, and he did something with a Sharpie. Oh, I. It was real dumb. Yeah, he moved the course, the course of a hurricane to try to make.

Just by drawing it with a Sharpie. He was like, no, say it's going to be fine. It's going to ask for it. Yeah, he had like the National Weather Service projections. because he hadn't done any preparedness. He was trying to make it look like it wasn't going to hit mainland Florida. He just drew an arrow off to the left. Yeah.

You can clearly say here. Yeah. Matt found an article for us. Georgia and X law letting panel punish out of prosecutors. That's from May 5th. Yeah. So this is months ago. They tell how Desantis has been removing prosecutors.

They can do it, I guess, if they have cause. I'm not sure how much cause they need. It's a commission that does empower the discipline and remove waiver prosecutors saying it will curb far left prosecutors who were making our communities left safe. The premise for all this stuff in DeSantis, it's like they basically make every Democrat prosecutor out to be a reform prosecutor and say they're the reason crimes going up even if it's going down. Right, right. Yeah. Yeah.

Didn't we just talk about that? There was a prosecutor who moved in, I think, Orange County, Florida, who, he's mad at her over something. She put out a statement about one of the anti-trans bills or something saying she was against it. removed her with the premise being that somebody who was free on bail had shot a cop or something. So yeah. But yeah, I think it was a Patreon thing.

They were talking about it on Twitter. Like he went on some tirade about, oh, right. I remember Trump did a true social bitching about Fonnie Willis. And he blamed her for a quote, giant murder wave. Like he said,

she was responsible for a giant murder wave that had hit Georgia. And then a lot of other people were quoting that and pointing out that actually murders are down from last year or whatever, you know what I mean? And, you know, the shocker now that shit was true. But yeah, just a giant murder wave. It's funny to me.

I like, I like, I like that people think that like, I mean, certainly murder rates respond to some stuff, but also. That a prosecutor is the, right, the reason. Murder rates are also heavily influenced by like how many people come home early from work and catch their spouse cheating, which I'm not sure the government can have any impact on. Yeah, when something like that happens, you're not like, oh, shit, I better not. Fannie Willis is an office now, you know what I mean? Yeah. Right, I agree with you. Grandma M says, did I miss the discussion of the idiots in the Tennessee State Special Legislative session?

We talked about it a little bit at the very top. Yeah. So, yes, you may have if you came in a little bit late. But, you know. I really spent like two minutes on it. Most of it was almost of your own heart. Yeah. Clarissa, explaining it all.
