Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews 8/23/22 – Insanity Roundup

Episode Date: August 24, 2022

Tonight we got it all: Mar-a-Lago raid fallout, midterm primary fallout, and the increasingly terrible fallout from the Dobbs decision. That's a lot of fallout! Join us.Support the show

Well, howdy there, everybody, welcome back. Happy Skews Day to you. It's August 23rd, 2022. I'm Trey Crowder, and that there is Mr. Mark Aegee. What's up, Mark? What's up, Trey? How you doing today, but I'm doing good? I'm all right.

Hanging in there. Yeah, lots to talk about today for what is a fairly slow news week with, you know, Washington pretty much shut down. But so before we get to the show, we haven't talked about Breonna Taylor in a while. One of the cops that got charged in federal court after the states, this attorney general passed from prosecuting them, pled guilty today to a line of the search warrant that led to the raid that got an innocent woman killed. And she's going to testify against her three other cops that got charged. so that's good because there was there what she lied about was that

their allegations were that Brianna's ex-boyfriend was a drug dealer and she was having receiving mail at her house that was addressed to him that was an absolute lie they just raided this woman's house for nothing just for funsy yeah I was going to ask like what the

what the goal what like they lied to be able to go in there but if they didn't have anything actually implying that the dude was operating out of there or whatever, then why did they want to go in there in the first place? I think we got a whole generation of cops who were gassed up on law and order episodes where the whole goal is to frame a guilty person, so they just assume this person must be guilty,

and so they fabricate evidence to get in search of real proof, which is why you're doing a no-knock raid for a weed dealer is insane to me anyway. You watch the wire, right? Oh, yeah. Remember the end of the first season when they're arresting Avon and they're watching the cops stack up outside the SWAT team. And Avon and Schringer are like, look at these Delta Force motherfuckers just laughing at the clownishness. And then one of the other cops, like, these guys haven't touched a gun in a decade. These are high-level drug dealers.

Right. These guys are slinging a little weed in Louisville. And they're like, and they're like, they're doing like a, like a, like they're a seal team. And I. They love that shit and have for a while. in my hometown, tiny little hometown salon at Tennessee, when I was in high school, Halloween every year was a big, it was much more tricks

than treats, you know, like big egg hurling night. You know, all teenagers get together right around and war wagons hurling eggs at each other and cars and all that shit, just general teenage dumbassery. But there was this one cop on our police force who every year, dude, he would like deploy himself on Halloween to town in like full camo

and like camo face paint. a gilly suit and like fucking combat armor and all this shit to take down the the egg throwing teenage scourge that was going on but they'll take any opportunity to get all geared up you know you and i've taught before i don't know if on this on the show but like i used to play like uh when texas hold during the texas holdum boom in the early 2000s but i live in dallas i'd play like underground rooms in a tournament of a hundred or buy in or whatever but i don't have you ever noticed a lot of like those tv cop shows the real the reality she's shows like cops and stuff they film in Dallas is a lot of cooperation with departments and they

were doing swat raids on tons of these poker games yeah these are like just dudes college dudes bartenders and shit just yeah playing for like you said a hundred dollar buy-ins and they would be which whatever if you want to bust up illegal gambling i don't mean it's against the law whatever you know with the wrist or all but you just you could just knock and come in you don't need to get in full but they're doing it just to make footage for the tv shows that are falling around they want to they want to be action stars But when I was in college, I got busted for underage possession of alcohol. And I wasn't even drink at the time, which is the whole other story.

But the cops jump out of bushes to, like, snatch me and my friends. These are college cops who were hiding in the bushes. Yeah. Bust teens for having a $7 bottle of vodka. It's just like, come on, man. Covert ops, man. Yeah, yeah. So another thing that happened, there was an interview in The Guardian by the guy who was the

Rusty Bowers. He testified from the January 6th Commission about all the pressure who's getting as the Speaker of the House in Arizona to help overturn the election. And he's since lost his primary to a guy, which is like, speakers of the House don't lose primaries. You're too

powerful to go down, but like the lies here are too much for even him. And the guy says the bad results in the 2020 election the guy that beat him was the result of satanic influence. So he lost to a true loon but he gave this thing where he's like

there's no thought process in this party anymore there's no ideology it's just all meanness and conspiracy mongering it's like where you've been buddy you've been this party for like he's a bare goldwater's home state that's the that's the founding of all this whole fucking movement goes back to the 1960s

full on lunatics yeah you read about this guy and he's like yeah he was the dude in charge sort of like raffinsperger and georgia or whatever and trump and juliani are calling him basically just asking him to throw out the results Arizona elections and send their own electors and whatnot and he wouldn't do it and we talked before when it was all going on like you know it was just a few people away from this being a much bigger shit show than it was like these guys said no to the president and his team basically and it's good

they did but you know all the those like those relics of a bygone era of republicanism the sort of just the regular old chamber of commerce type guy the business papals of the world who aren't Full-bar lunatics. They're all getting systematically picked off by people who say that the election was, you know, the result of a satanic overtaking or whatever. Like, that's the face of the party now. Yeah, I found the quote. The election was not only stolen from Trump itself.

It was satanically snatched by the devil himself. Satanically snatched by the devil himself was a really cool song title. Yeah. I listen to that. But yeah, but this guy, this guy after he testified for the January 6th commission, the good guy who lost said he would definitely vote for Trump again. And he's still lost.

There's no point in not doing the right thing because you're going to get fucked. So this story, this is just a really fun one. So Japan, apparently the youngsters are straight edge. They're drinking way less than their parents did, which most every government in the world is like, you know, you look at like booze in America.

It says like, you know, it could cause deformities in pregnancy or whatever, called birth effects. But Japan, the teens and people in their 20s and 30s are drinking so little that's given the government tax problems. It was this initiative to get young people to pitch like PSAs that would get them to drink more. Yeah. You got to get these kids drinking, man.

They're watching too many damn cartoons, you know, with fucking aliens and shit in them, playing too many video games. We need them out there drinking and fucking. That's what the kids need to be doing in this country, the Japanese leadership said. I did wonder if it was like, because I've also heard that they're having problems with like a plummeting birth rate and stuff.

Yeah. You know, and I was like, I wonder if that's also a part of this. They're like, we got to get them drunk so they'll fuck each other. We're not going to exist in a few years. Jesus Christ.

Yeah. Yeah, that had occurred to me too because like the whole wet, the whole northern hemisphere, the western world has a declining birth rate problem, but Japan probably has it worse than anybody. So it did occur to me. They were trying to get them drinking,

so they'll start fucking again. But, and forget to use condoms. but the uh the can't the online contest to get to pitch ideas there psa ideas it's between more it's called sake viveva which is like french for live sake live sake so i don't really know what they're up to but that was really that was just a really fun fun little thing from across the uh across the pacific always appreciate fun little things here let's get in our own fun little thing the rest of the show with us is always as producer matt this is weekly

surrounding the Mar-a-Lago raid, the nation's primary elections and some of their candidates, which we've already alluded to, and the never-ending an increasingly horrific fallout of the Supreme Court's Dobbs-Dob's decision. All that and more on tonight's skews. but first, of course, the Daily Dumbass. Matt, graphic, please. Tonight's D-D, the guy from Beverly Hills Cop and fast times at Ridgemont High

for fucking with Donald Trump. Let's hear from his lawyer here, Trump's lawyer. The attorneys, as far as Judge Reinhold, I still have this burning question as to why he felt he needed to refuse himself on the case I have against Hillary Clinton

and the FBI. You guys get it. So I'm not going to lie to you. It was hard for me at first to process this as not being about 80s movie star Judge Reinhold. You know what I mean? Like I even like, it took me, I was like, what does Judge Reinhold have to do?

I couldn't make it click in my brain. Like, oh, okay. There's a judge whose name is. Ryan. Well, no, it's right. The judge who gave the granted a search warrant for Moralago, his name is Reinhart. He's the guy who's the guy who's synagogue had to cancel services because of so

many anti-Semitic death threats he was getting. He's also the guy you've seen in Photoshop's with Jeffrey Epstein that made it to Fox News. So he says critical fact-checking over there. So this lady is Alina Haba. We talked about her on the Patreon episode on Friday. She's the one who apparently

is such a terrible lawyer that she doesn't even hit for the rest of Trump's legal team, which is basically non-existent. This is from a story area. The former president's current legal team includes a Florida insurance lawyer who's never had a federal case, a past general counsel for a parking garage company, and a formal

host at Far Right One America News. Alina Haba, I guess, is the parking garage company because she's a real estate lawyer from New Jersey. Real estate law. He's definitely who you want on your side when you're facing federal prison time for selling nuclear secrets to Saudi Arabia or whatever the fuck Trump was doing.

So yesterday It was a pretty funny day legally. Trump's legal team or Trump himself. It's not really clear which because he accidentally filed pro se, which means he's representing himself, which please represent yourself in federal. Right. Yeah. I feel like he's probably pitched it or at least thought of it before. You know what I mean?

I'm sure he thinks that he could do it. He's probably looking around his lawyers being like, these dips shits, just let me at them. And yeah, that's the circus we all deserve. So he filed to get an injunction, which is the wrong legal term, to stop the FBI from going through the documents they took, which they've already been going through for two weeks, so he's way too late. You see, I saw a federal, former federal prosecutor who's now a defense lawyer who say you would usually file that. If you thought they had privilege materials, you file that day before they read them. You don't like, I mean, of course, right. Yeah, like, I mean, they've had them, like you said, for two weeks.

I would imagine they've been looking at them. Yeah. He might check that box of state secrets, whatever we got from the former president. It sounds like, ah, shit. I was going to, but we had the fantasy draft and everything, you know, anyway, I'll get on it. Yeah, so an injunction is not really what he wants because the injunction is asking the government to stop doing stuff. They've already had two weeks to be doing, so it doesn't even make any sense. He also filed at the wrong court.

Like, he instead of, like, you would usually go to Judge Reinhart petition him because he's the judge overseeing the case. They filed at a federal courthouse across the state to try to perform. to get a forum shop to get a judge a trouble appointed lawyer even though it was a trouble point lawyer was like this is nonsense fuck off go back to the right court so all this is pretty funny before we move on

to the case itself I want to talk about Alina Habo because she just got sued for being a racist basically and so she had one black employee and apparently she would play rap music and stick along with all the lyrics in the office and her defense was essentially

I can't be racist because I love DMX, which is, you know, I might have made that same claim when I was 15 years old, living in my mom's trailer or whatever, and fucking, you know, flesh and my flesh, blood of my blood just came out. And it's like, listen, I'm just trying to respect the artist here. These are the lyrics. But, you know, I thought we'd moved on as a people from that for a while ago, let alone in a professional setting. It's a bold move, just blasting inwards everywhere. Because you're trying to get hype. She also. In the law office. After she lost her, one of her Trump cases to Letitia James, who's a, a new attorney general, she called her a screamed, I hate that black bitch in the office, which is also in this lawsuit, which is a racist because what, if she's a bitch, what the hell to just ginkler have to do with it? Also, you just lost because you're a worst lawyer with the worst case than she is.

So, but also the story, you know how she ended up being Trump's lawyer, Trey? I know that she, like, compliments him a lot and he really digs that. Yeah. So, as a quote, Haba came into the Trump's orbit after becoming a member of his golf club in Bedminster in 2019. So two years ago, Trump, two and a half years ago, Trump saw this lady playing golf and it's like, she could save me, she could save me from federal jail time. But also This legal filing did read It was funny because they said it's pro segus

This legal filing did read like Trump wrote it himself You know Trump always does this rally Talks about how the big strong men come up with tears in his eyes And thank you for saving the country So this is from this is like Recounting an interaction with an FBI agent Once back in the dining room One of the FBI agents said, quote, thank you

You did not need to show us the storage room But we appreciate it. No, it all makes sense So they say And the FBI said it was all good Yeah, they loved it. As soon as they saw it, they were like, oh, this is great, which they might have been. They're like, you know, hey, there's the thing we came for. It's not there.

This is good. There was a, Corey Lewandowski, remember him, was a Trump guy. Yeah. Work for the campaign. It ended up in a little, maybe it was an accidental dup for Russian intelligence. He was on CNN talking about, even the FBI was on his side when they were interviewing that, say, we know you didn't do anything wrong. Just come clean and we got your back. And he was saying that like, I was like, buddy, this is, so if the FBI gets Trump to talk himself into prison by pretending to be his friend, like going back to law and, like the cops of law and orders, tell us.

I know. That's what I was like. It's like, have they never seen any piece of media from TV or film ever where an FBI interrogate somebody, you know, that whole. We're just trying to help you out here. We know you're cool. Just tell us, like, it's pretty much chapter one. Yeah, the motion, it also included this language. said that one of the reasons we should stop his investigations because the search of Moralago

was quote, a shockingly aggressive move with no understanding of distress that it would cause most Americans. I tell you, Trey, I feel super distressed over Trump. Yeah. Do you feel distressed? Yeah, I think most Americans are pretty opposite of distressed about it, although there's some pathos out there strung out over it. There's no doubt about that. You know, this is the worst thing to happen to them personally in a long time. Yeah. So also the, the, more breaking news. This came from last night, New York Times, and then I think ProPublica had a, sorry, Politico had more information about what was actually taken. So in New York Times that he had 300 top secret documents, including stuff with nuclear information. And Politico said

700, to which the New York Times report was like, well, 700 pages, but 300 documents. So like, but this is like, this is what's going to drop me. We're about to spend two years debating documents, and I want to fucking die. right because uh because this is going to be so assinine stupid because the actual doc like this stuff gets so in the weeds we're not talking about what we're actually talking about if the documents are important tell us why they're important right focus on the mechanics of right you did the improper filing but the government's so secretive they're not going to tell us what he took and why it's risky and why it's damaging so we're never going to know it's going to be a bunch of

cable and news talking heads who all used to work in national security who are going to be debating the finer points of classification procedures and they already fucking hate all of it. Yeah. All right. Our first honorable mention for Daily Dumbass is anybody's ever taking too many weed gummies and then decided they wanted to kidnap the governor. That's apparently what happened in that case from a while back with Governor Whitmer in

Michigan? Yeah. Two guys were finally found guilty. I don't know if you, we were talking about O'4, but they had a mistrial in the first trial. Well, a bunch of guys were found not guilty in total. And these guys got a got a mistrial for a hung jury. So they retried and finally convicted them. So the government, because the government had fucked up the first case.

There should have been, I mean, compared to what people usually go to prison for, this is a pretty easy layup. Not that, I mean, I wish way fewer people went to prison. We talked about that before. But in general, the criminal justice should be somewhat fair. but the pot so the headline here defendants of governor whitmer kidnap trial called pot smoky morons what's funny about this is important to note that's from their own defense attorney yeah right their official defense was basically these guys are way too stupid to be doing the shit you're saying

look at them look how dumb they are they smoke weed all the time they think up dumb shit that's just what they do okay yeah yeah well i mean you know yeah got to go with something i guess And the dudes do look pretty dumb. So, you know, it's worth a shot. Dumb people can be criminals too, Tray. This is America. That's true. It's a wrong quality here.

So, but the origin of the moron thing, the reason that the defense dream put it in the record is because the origin of it was one of the task force members, one of the cops' text messages. So the defense lawyer asked the cop named Croft, asked if the cop called Croft was one of the defendants, a moron in a text. and the state trooper said it could be Mr. Croft or it could be anyone in the group.

He didn't remember what they called him. Yeah. Listen, I probably called him all that, dumbasses, dipshits, whatever. It's like,

you know, they'd be more specific. Which dip shit are we talking about here? Yeah, yeah, it could be, come on,

man, these are fucking clowns. And like, it's funny to be, the idea that smoke so much weed to try to kidnap the governor is somewhat funny to me

because that's the exact opposite of any sort of weed type of thing. For sure. Yeah, let's, let's, you know, it's all,

You always think that the FBI or, you know, somebody's after you because, and when you've done nothing. So deciding to kidnap the governor is the opposite of most high schemes, for sure. But, you know, people they, not known for their general intelligence or forward-thinking this. Speaking of which, in other seditionist news, the lady who was accused of stealing Nancy Pelosi's laptop, gets to attend a Renaissance fair. She's been granted a whatever, a leave to go to the Renfair, which, you know, who among us, right? Doesn't want to go and have some mead with some town criers, maybe see a jester, fart on a goose or something like that. Sounds like good fun. Yeah, well, it's funny about this to me.

It was like, I would see this as the first part of my sentence. Yeah, got to please just stay in jail. Can I get life in prison instead of going to a fucking redneck? So this lady, if you're not, if you've missed, forgotten about her, she's quite a character in the January 6th fiasco. So she got arrested for police stealing Pelosi's laptop because she posted videos of her saying, I'm stealing Nancy Pelosi's laptop. Yeah.

She said, I took Nancy Pelosi's hard drives. I don't care. Kill me. This is the fucking fun. She posted a purloering. other idols including Ms. Pelosi's quote gravel hammered thing. She misspelled all this shit, but I was going to read the way she meant a gravel

gravel. Gravel hammered thing. She means a gavel. Gravel hammered thing. Close enough. And then she says, somebody's like, why are you posting all this? And she goes, like they're going to arrest me. But she jokingly said they'll never take

her alive. Flash forward, they arrested her and they did take her alive. They totally took her alive. Yeah. So she also, the second part of her scheme, tried to sell Nancy Pelosi's laptop to Russia, which is like, just Google probably how to sell secret documents to Russia. It was like, I don't know, we're going to put it in a phatic

envelope to dress to Vladimir Putin spelled all wrong. These people are going to get away with it because they're so fucking stupid. They're all pot smoking goddamn lunatics. And the government doesn't take them seriously. The government sounds like I'm seriously up to the point where they're like, you know, putting them in guillotines. But it looked at this Renaissance

Fair. It is one of the biggest Renaissance Fair is in America, and it looks like it hits, if you I'm going to play a little bit of this ad. Look at that. That looked like a turkey leg, but also chocolate. They're mixing things up over here. Mead. There it is.

Yeah. Fucking six, five week. I was going to say, that's a long run in Renaissance fair. They got a lot of, a lot of jouston to get through at that thing. Yeah. But she hasn't been convicted yet. She wants to go to a rent fair. She gets her ankle braces off for a day.

Some more priority to you. Enjoy one of your last days of freedom for all. Let's, uh, let's quickly, watch these next two videos and then get to the primaries, but I would like to watch them. Our next honorable mention, the Navy Seals for being caught up in the woke hysteria. Navy Seals

are too woke, according to Trump Jr. Let alone in our military. I have friends on SEAL teams that tell me they spend more time now in diversity training than they do shooting. And I was also like, this is one of those.

You know, I don't like the military being taught anything other than how to murder one tonly you know what i mean i don't want my tax dollars go on to stuff that isn't state sanctioned murder training i i don't mean what the hell could he possibly be talking about like teach him how to learn some words in farcey like stop put your gun down right like with that i i just i don't believe him no i do not believe him and uh like it's no he has friends now especially not friends that are you know actual badasses Where would he meet a Navy SEAL?

Like maybe the ones who got elected to Congress, like, Darren Crinchard or whatever, but, like, he's not, he's not hanging out with active duty Navy SEALs because they're fucking overseas. Yeah. Maybe we went over there to cut the tail off an elephant or whatever on one of his big game hunts.

Maybe there was a guide who was a Navy SEAL or something. I don't know. Benefit of the doubt, Mark. All right. One more for you before we start talking about the primaries, honorable mention. Anybody who thinks that quick crimes count? this is Ron Johnson again that again

another grotesque distortion I had nothing to do with the ultimate slate I had no idea that anybody's going to ask me to deliver those my involvement in that attempt to deliver span the course of a couple seconds I got a I think I fielded three texts

and sent two and talked to my chief of staff that somebody wants you to deliver something yeah there you know all right just a couple of seconds of just a couple of seconds of coup planning Mark. It's just some light treason over, you know, one spot in an afternoon.

Five texts. Come on. You marry the episode of Simpsons where side show Bob goes to prison for attempted murder a bar and he goes, attempted murder. What even is that, really? It's like, it takes like literally one second to pull a trigger and kill somebody. I don't understand this defense, but it seems like you confessed on national TV to try and deliver alternative slate of electors to the vice president to, you know, overthrow the government, but just briefly.

Just briefly. Only for a second, and then it was all other people after that. So what are we even doing here? All right, yeah, we got primaries going on today. There are primaries in New York and Florida. Is that right? Yeah, yeah, there are some results coming in Florida. I saw Charlie Christ won the Democratic gubernatorial primaries.

He's going to take on DeSantis in the fall. It would be really funny if DeSantis, DeSantis only won and was it 2018 by 0.4% of the vote. That guy turned out to get arrested for being a crack addict, Andrew Gillum. which DeSantis only beat a guy who was on crack by 0.4%. So he should be beatable, but also incumbents have huge advantages. I'm assuming that

all the electoral chicanery that DeSantis is engaged in is pretty much solidified his position. Yeah. Well, he's like a superstar, right? Like 4 him. He's like their guy. I love him on that side. Yeah. But he should be controversial, but considering all the stuff that makes him hit for their side is awful for everyone

else. Of course. So yeah. Ever now. But we thought we have fun to look at all the characters in today's primaries to the lens of more dumbasses. So one person is on the ballot today in Florida is Laura Lumer. Remember Laura Lumer? She's the woman who changed herself to Twitter headquarters in a way that didn't even lock the door closed to try to get her account back. She's running for. She's got a strong caucus of support, though, focusing on the elderly community, like the villages

community down there. is some footage from inside. So the dumb ass here is Laura Luma for aging up the children of the corn. Let's watch this. This is creepy. Loomers for Lomer. Loomers for Lomers for Lomers. All right.

We'll get it. Boomer's for Lomer. I bet there's at least one person in the back, be like, I thought this was about bloomer. Were we not getting bloomer today? I thought this was the bloomer thing. Is that in the different conference room? Yeah, boomers for Lomer. I want to visit the villages because if you got, that's that super big retirement community,

um, full of Albany mansion noting people and like, the politics there are insane. This is the area. We talked about it during election where old people were getting it, like literally ramming each other were golf courts. Yeah. Which candidates I supported?

It seems like a crazy place. But, uh, anyway, Lord Lumer is running for, uh, the U.S. House, for Florida's 11th district against,

against an incumbent. And she was outraising him by a bunch of of money because she has a national fan base because of the Twitter thing. I assume she's going to lose, but I don't know, but like she deserves to lose, not because she's a limited tech because her whole campaign revolves around basically just doing this. For example, they did this with the same group of people again with a different chant. Matt, if you have that video. You know, you got to get multiple takes, Mark.

You know what I mean? You got to try out other things. America first. Yeah. That's it. So, yeah, this, Laura Lumpers are horrible anti-Semite.

She runs with a grove those groipers. Basically, any beef she has with any Republicans that they're not anti-Semitic enough. So I really, really hope she goes down in fucking flames. The second guy we're to talk about it. There's another guy running in Florida. His name is Martin Hyde.

He has a British accent, but he is running in Florida, so don't be confused by that. But I guess the dumbass here is any FBI hostage rescue team that thinks they could take this guy down. Let's watch this video. When they turned up at Mirralago and raided the home of President Trump, that was an assault on every one of the 75 million people that voted for Donald Trump.

It was an assault on democracy. These people will stop at nothing. I wish they'd turn up at my home because they'd have gone home in a body bag. Bad ass motherfucker right here. Yeah, they're all so obsessed with being badass. I would have wrecked that whole FBI fucking SWAT team. Also, he's British. They don't have guns.

They're not allowed, right? What's he going to do? What's he going to do? Bitch them to death? Maybe, because we've actually seen how this guy interacts with law enforcement because he went viral this week for doing so. If you want to see how he actually handles it, play a little bit of that, Matt. If you got it.

There we go. Yeah, I got pulled up for a speeding ticket. You put it in fruit, go. I'm not pointing out of you. I'm pointing out of you. I'm pointing the direction where it was. Go right ahead. I called the chief. Yes, sir, I do.

You know who I am. You know who I am. You know who I am. You know who I am. You can do this? Yes, sir. I'm sorry? Yeah.

So have a job. You can cut this off off. He's like, so he literally calls the police. chief while he's getting pulled over for a train he's 17 miles north with the speed and then texting while driving is what she pulled him for I don't know whether he did or not I do know that if you do the rest of us would just have to take the ticket and fucking go because yeah well she's lucky mark that she walked away from this encounter all right she would have ended up in a body bag dealing with this guy so really he was you know he went

easy on her by just pulling a Karen and asking to speak to her supervisor because he's entitled to be able to break laws and whatever else the fuck. I do want to give shot at mouth to being intellectually consistent because usually these guys move is say we love local cops, but hate the FBI. At least he hates all cops. So it's consistent. But so that's Martin Haid. He's running in a primary against incumbent by the name of Vern Buchanan Buchanan and

Buchanan and the Florida 16th. And he's endorsed by Michael Flynn and Roger Stone. So I hope he fucking loses too. The next dumb ass is anyone who doesn't get that a firing squad is, just a fun prank. This is about a guy. This guy is something else, man. He's running in New York, and he's very well-known as New Yorkers because he's been a political

candidate for a lot of different offices. But what we're talking about here is he threatened to Merrick Garland's life on a radio on Steve, on Breitbart's radio show the other day. And then when somebody said, hey, did you really mean you want to kill the Attorney General? He said, oh, I was just joke. It's a joke to. It's a joke to threaten to kill Adrian. It was no joke in it. I mean, like, there's no punchline.

Like, listen to this. here's the, here's a quote. So we have a couple of unelected people who are running our government and an administration of people like Garland who should be not only impeached, he should probably be executed. What's the point line, Trey? Yeah, right. hilarious.

Gut busting. Yeah. We joke about killing people all the time. You can't joke about killing people. That's not a joke. I'm not saying it's not a funny joke. It's not structured like a joke. All right.

Jokes, it's not a fucking joke. No, but this guy at Carl Palladino, he's got a long, he's got a long history of saying truly wild shit, which makes me kind of incredulous that he's not an even bigger deal. I would think this guy would be a rising star because he's just that level of fucking lunatic. I want to read this one for what he got removed from the Buffalo School Board for saying in 2017. He was asked what he would like to see happen in the year 2017. And Palladena replied to what he wanted was for President Barack Obama to die of mag cow disease, stating Obama catches mag cow disease after being caught having relations.

with a herford, he dies before his trial and is buried in a cow pasture next to senior White House advisor Valerie Jarrett, who died weeks prior after being convicted of sedition and treason when a jihadi cellmate mistook her for being a nice person and decapitated her. And if you think that the wildest part of this statement is him fantasizing about a jihadi decapitating senior White House advisor Valerie Jarrett, you would be wrong because after that, when asked what he would most like to see happen in 2017, he replied and I'm sorry, but I'm reading the quote

directly. He replied, Michelle Obama, I'd like her to return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxi the gorilla. So again, this guy's

got upper Republican management written all over him. Watch out for this guy. He's a rising star. Holy shit, dude. that's pretty far he said a button that's like 40 things that should end anybody's career he did get kicked on the buffalo school board i do want to point out that they didn't actually oust him for saying all this shit it was because he went on a loud school board meeting he showed some private documents to those to the to the to the internet feed so he didn't say they got him al capone for tax evasion on this one uh but it wasn't even like kind of weirdly not even's worst scandal so somebody got a hold of a bunch of his emails when he was georg got to run for governor and uh 20, what I mean, he ran against Cuomo and I don't know, it was 2016 or whatever, what year, whatever year. But he's email, let's get this out of the way. They had bestiality porn in them.

Sure did. He was on his work email. He was sending pictures of a woman getting fucked by a horse. Ahead of Obama swearing in, he sent a video entitled Obama inauguration rehearsal and showed an African tribesman dancing. It was a mean that was popular among white supremacists at the time. an email with the subject line Proof the Irish discovered after containing a video is of monkeys that appear to be doing a river dance jig

He sent video to just of a naked woman Just regular porn non-beastiality So I guess it's slightly better Is it better or worse? I don't know, maybe it was revenge war or something But to a government email account An email featureing a racist fake motivational poster I don't even want to describe

And I want to note that he won the Republican primary for governor after all this shit fucking has. I'm saying, dude, he's fucking hitting for the cycle out here with the lunatics. Like, this dude's got a hell of a batting average. If you're one of the... This is one of the craziest motherfuckers I've heard of

in a minute. That's why I said I'm surprised he's not an even bigger deal because we're still not done, by the way. We're not done with the crazy shit that he has said. After he lost a Cuomo terrain, I put this in the outline, there's video of his... It's not even a concession.

because he didn't concede anything, except he did admit that he lost. I guess that's totally a concession. But he took a baseball bat with him up on stage. It acted out cracking skulls at the slate legislature with his baseball bat to take the government back. Then, more recently, in February of 20, the year of our Lord, 2021,

he went, going back to a recurring theme about how you want to live your life in such a way to not have a Hitler-related tab on your Wikipedia page. In February 2020, he said on local radio in Buffalo that we need somebody inspirational like Adolf Hitler, who aroused and hypnotized crowds, screaming these epithets. That's the kind of leader we need today. And then six months, no, no, wait, June, a year and a half later, he apologized.

I understand that invoking Hitler in any context is a serious mistake and rightfully upsets people. Yeah. So that's the state of our primaries today as we go to the polls. It's so, in my experience, so easy to not compliment Adolf Hitler or say the words, you know, Hitler was right about. like it just for me never really comes up but they seem to always have trouble uh not praising adolf hiller for some weird reason i mean anybody could slip and fall and send a

bestiality porn video to a work email address sure that could happen to the best of us but i do want to sell this video is from this is taking out of context of being totally honest but i just thought this clip of rudy giliani perfectly summed up the state of the primaries in 2022 if the American people don't know what's going on by now then our country could possibly be too dumb to be a democracy show me the lie mark oh god what's the old cool

the democracies where the people get with the ass for hard fast yeah so yeah no it's like they had like whenever they say something that you like totally agree with but but you realize that they mean it in the complete opposite direction, you know what I mean?

They got a real penchant for that. It's wild. Yeah. There was a poll going around this week that it was like the voters, the one's concern is protection democracy. And everyone's like, see, people come around and they understand it. It's like, I don't think you really understand that poll because right-wingers are saying that because they think the election was stolen. Exactly. Yeah. By protect democracy, they may, you know, ensure that what happened in 2020 doesn't happen again, all right, you know, a president who was rightfully elected.

than being allowed to be inaugurated after the fact. Yeah. We talked a lot on the Friday's a Patreon episode about Dobbs and the effect on the election, what's doing is doing in the primaries and how it's thrown everyone's projections to fall into chaos, the point where Democrats might be able to hold on to the Senate and maybe a slim chance holding on to the House. But there's still so much news happening with it. I thought we talked about it because this video is from yesterday. And it's quite remarkable for a lot of reasons.

I'm trying not to be too angry at this dude. And we'll talk about why. But it's a South Carolina Republican state congressman talking about one of their, you know, abortion bans. Yeah. I voted for the pain capable bill, the fetal heartbeat bill, and fetal heartbeat has been for six weeks now. The second week that the fetal heartbeat bill became law, a doctor called me out of Anderson. easily. A 19-year-old girl appeared at the ER. She was 15 weeks pregnant. Her water broke. And the fetus was unviable. The standard of care was to advise her that they could extract

or she could go home. The attorneys told the doctors that because of the fetal heartbeat bill, because that 15-week-old had a heartbeat, the doctors could not extract. So their only choices were to admit the 19-year-old until that fetal heartbeat stopped. I asked, how long does it take to stop? She said, seconds, minutes, hours, maybe days, or discharge. They discharged that 19-year-old. The doctor told me at that point, there's a 50% chance. Well, first, she's going to pay.

pass this fetus in the toilet. She's going to have to deal with that on her own. There's a 50% chance, greater than 50% chance that she's going to lose her uterus. There's a 10% chance that she will develop sepsis and herself die. That weighs on me. I voted for that bill. These are affecting people. And we're having a meeting about this.

It took that whole week I did not sleep. Good. Yeah. So, yeah, I know what you mean about trying not to be too angry at this guy because it's like, at least he has come around. But to me, sitting here, it's like, yeah, man, like, what did you think was going to happen? It's so, they had this thing that we're all aware of where, like, they are literally incapable of caring about or processing a thing until they're like personally confronted by it in some way. and that, you know, their son is gay or whatever, and now they're okay with gay marriage all of a sudden.

They don't all do that. But it seems like that's what it takes for a lot of them to have any kind of, there's no empathy, like, to begin with. They have to be confronted with the shit to give a damn. And it's like at least he now seems to give a damn, but it's like he's just sitting there saying like, guys, did you know that like this stuff is danger? Like there's unintended consequences of this and they're bad.

Have you guys heard about this? it's pretty bad man like it just what have you been doing this whole time where have you been up until this moment you know but at least the moment arrived for that guy so what's going on here is like uh telcalano already has a fetal heartbeat bill which what he was talking about that he voted for and i'll come back to the video in a second because there's so much shit to unpack in there but what they're debating is whether or not to have passed an even more restrictive abortion ban and of course as soon as he gave his little speech, the chair of the committee basically gaveled him and told him we shut the fuck up,

but then they moved forward with the bill. Then they pass in a while, yeah. They're planning special sessions over the next month to consider even more restrictions. It has, bans all abortions except when the life of the mother is in danger, so this woman still wouldn't be able to get an abortion. It lists a number of different medical emergencies

would fit into the exceptions, so maybe they could expand that if people fight hard enough, which is what happened, which is what I'm going to talk about in a second. But it's going to Something that is going to hit the desk of the governor Who's Henry MacGain Henry McMaster He said he wants to see no abortions in the state

Which is a fantasy That is a fucking fantasy That's like saying I'm going to end crime Or I'm going to make clouds go away You cannot stop all Yeah You'll be pushing the back alley so everybody knows But like what's that guy

What's happening in that video One I do want to say that it's good That he is learning and he has open to new information but he's already been presented with this information. Right. They think they apparently they think all that is bullshit or something. It's all made up by liberals in the media. It's like none of that's really happening.

And then he like personally encounters an example of it happening. He's like, holy shit, you guys know this stuff is really happening? Like that's how it seems. It also like him including the bit about she might lose her uterus. Like it's like it never occurred to these people, the women who want children also get abortions, Which is like, just ask anyone they would have told you that it happens for a lot of different medical reasons. So that guy, his name is Neil Collins. And he was, he's basically the only guy with the Republican.

He said he wouldn't vote for this. He's a fairly normal straightforward chamber of commerce Republicans. So he's about as good as you're going to get for these guys. He's a real estate lawyer. He endorsed Rubio in 2016. He spoke it out against Trump. And it survived somehow. So maybe he's going down soon.

he will be primary to the next election can't have that can't have rationality going on sensibility the doctor that called him is an important player here because i did not know this but there's a national movement of OBGYNs to try to get more involved in politics after the dog's decision um they've had a pretty good track record uh for example in Nebraska OBGYNs successfully scuttled attempts to pass abortion restrictions in a summer special session um and got the republican controlled legislature to point the issue at least until early next year In West Virginia, Indiana, doctors secured smaller wins. They stripped harsh criminal penalties on physicians and patients from set a few bills.

They insured exemptions for cases of rape and incest and threats to the health of a pregnant person. This guy is a quote from a Republican, Nebraska Senator named John Arch. She said, physicians have expressed concern, I would say, to some degree, fear. Like, please don't interfere because you do not understand. There is such a thing as bad legislation, and that is born of not understanding the top. or the issue before legislation was passed. Yes. Yeah.

Yeah. I would definitely call that bad legislation. It just seems like it should go without sayings. Like we shouldn't make laws about things we don't really understand. But some people are like, what the fuck is this comedy talking about? Yeah. So I'm glad there are guys like this John Arch guy in Nebraska and the Neil Collins guy at South Carolina who are rethinking, you know, their actions after seeing the consequence. consequences. But there's also people who aren't pulling up. And this is a piece in Slate today called

the reason of anti-abortion activists just won't stop. And the main reason is they're, you know, true believers. They think it's God, their God, their God implements her on Earth to save babies' lives, no matter how many people they emiserate to get there. And we talked before about how we're always going to be arguing about an anecdote, like the 19-year-old and no Collins talked about, because everyone's situation is so fucking different. You're going to hear these stories constantly. It's going to be a drumbeat in the media because every case is going to be specifically horrible for its own fucking reasons. Right.

There were a few this week. They're so gross. I don't even want to talk about them, but I'll just tell you that there are a bunch of viral stories about bad outcomes from bills like this. The one I do want to talk about is Tudor Dixon, who we talked about. She won the Republican primary. She's running against the kidnapped victim, alleged kidnapped victim, Richard Whitmer in Michigan. And she, again, presents as the same normal person, but she's an absolute lunatic

as we talked about one of our previous episodes. But she went on TV and was asked. about a 14-year-old rape victim being forced to carry a baby to term. And she gave this spiel about how she's met children who were products of rape. But I don't believe her, honestly, because it goes around talking about,

yeah, I was a rape baby. I'm sure they're activists in life circles just kind of stuff. But she's saying that the bond that a mom shares with a child of rape is basically stronger than a normal maternal bond because they're getting over that trauma together. And it pulls them together

and the baby provides a light. And I was just like, if these people win elections, I don't understand, Rudy Gianni is right. If these people fucking win. Right. Yeah, again, she's talking about a 14-year-old rape victim when she says that. Like, nah, it'll be good for both of them. Really, it's the best thing that could happen to her is to be forced to carry that baby to term because that'll save her life. Yeah.

Ironically, she says all of this. Yeah. So November's elections are going to be a real bellwether on. everything going forward because one of the bets these groups made is that they're insulated from these policies that were being rolled back by judges that have been installed by right-wing gerrymandered governments and they're insulated from electoral blowback by gerrymandering and also they have the wind of their back from a bunch of dark money that flows into our elections from psychotic billionaires and to show you what I'm talking about um this came out this week the federal society just got a $1.6 billion fucking donate dude uh the federalist society is the the group singular to most responsible for all these draconian abortion laws uh they installed five members of the supreme court uh merrick garland's also a member which i don't know how the fuck he is still alive in democratic politics when he's basically labeled himself a right-wing conservative but that's an argument for a different day maybe he's just

doing it for career networking purposes um so this donation actually happened in march of 2021 it just became public now 17 months later was kind of no better illustration of how opaque our political spending system is, $1.6 billion of dark money flowing under our politics. And no one knew that it existed or where it came from. But people did some digging. ProPublica had a report

today. So what this guy did is his guy's name is Barry side. I know his last name is pronounced because the investigator report, this guy is so secretive if they had to research how to say his last name. This guy's a billionaire who basically is off the grid. I'm not sure if Barry spelled, I'm saying Barry right, because it's B-A-R-R-E.

It's full disclosure in case he's from some country where I don't I'm not familiar with the name conventions but I'm just going calling Barryside um the company sold was called triplight they make power strips so he sold this company called triplight for $1.6 billion and he put it into a trust and signed it over to a guy named Leonard leo who's who runs the federal society so he got a $1.6 billion tax break and the federal society got $1.6 billion in tax free income because they're charitable organizations right they're not political right right right yeah that's yeah that's how it's supposed to be set but like what are they what are the other things that they do these organizations like this because yeah it's like a loophole where they're allowed to engage in politics as long as it's not their primary purpose but if you get 1.6 billion dollars from a conservative donor to you know keep stacking the Supreme Court with fucking draconian lunatics seems like that's probably your primary purpose I don't know if they're also like you know helping puppies out or whatever they're doing but uh no it seems like it's mostly this they're not

They're non-profit is dedicated to, like, education and, like, and activism. So it's like, it's like non-partisan activism, like stuff about doing legal education and clinics and shit. But it's a fucking, it's whore shit. They're a right-wing political organization. But the thing about Barry's side is he's so secretive that no one can find a picture of him. One of the few known photos of him was as a 14-year-old in 1946. That's him second from the left. He looks like a little, like, football coach, like somebody shrunk a, like, a 19-40s.

40s football coach. He's poured a ton of money in the right-wing causes over the years. For example, this is a funny one, the Heartland Institute, which I'm sure Matt is familiar with as an arch enemy. They're a hardcore climate skeptic group, which is a heartland. In the heartland, people don't care about wind and trees and stuff. They put up a bunch of billboards, but the Unabomber, just a bugshot of the Unabomber says, I believe in global warming view, which is like, I love this rhetorical fall.

I'll see. It's one of my favorite ones. Like, yes, he was a professor at MIT. He probably did believe in global warming. Right. Well, the fact that a crazy person believes something doesn't necessarily mean that that thing isn't true. You know, I mean, like, crazy people believe all kinds of shit that isn't true. But, like, the idea that global warming is disproved by the fact that the Unabomber apparently believed in it is completely absurd, obviously. Like, imagine someone who does believe in global warming and they see that, and they're like, oh, damn.

Well, I can't keep doing that. That makes me like the Unabomber. Thank you, Billboard. It's like, it's just, what the fuck? So, yeah, when you see a bunch of those misleading ad campaigns trying to trick people on the vote the wrong way of ballot initiatives, he's probably paid for by this $1.6 billion. But Leonard Leo himself is a funny guy,

because he runs like 10, he's a president of like 10 different conservative nonprofits, and they're all, like, basically have the same PO box, so it's all just him. They're just set up differently for different, various like tax shady reasons and the lawyer said this shit this ship at the 1.6 billion is perfectly legal which to me is the real fucking scandal yeah but you don't hear leo's name but he's very very important in fact i told you he named he was responsible for naming five of the uh um in his

six five of the six insert of supreme court justices um they rebuilt the entire federal judiciary after david suitor snuck through as a pro-choice judge and uh pointing by a republican and in 2015 Clarence Thomas joked Leonard Leo was the number three most powerful person in the world

now that's a joke but I don't think it's far from the truth and you're just 1.6 billion more dollars to play with yeah so there you go yeah it's a fucking nightmare

Matt you put us up some questions and comments there before we get out of here but yeah just it's so like thinking about you know all the shit that could have been done with 1.6 billion dollars

and he's He just gives it all to, you know, handmaidstale causes or whatever. It's very frustrating. The amount that, like, these people care about this type of shit is just maddening. I did want to ask you while Matt's looking for some questions and comments if you saw that. So reportedly, there's some student loan shit coming tomorrow. Did you see that? Like, what are your expectations for that?

bad's going to forgive some chunk of student loan debt for people that beat some qualifications. I don't know. It's not going to be, it's not going to be. I mean, $10,000 of relief might mean a lot to some people, especially if the people who make less than $125,000, which thing is going to be the cut off. But you can't read about student loan debt. People owe trillions of dollars, not individual, but in aggregate, oh, $20,000. Todd of that collapsing birth rate we're talking about earlier, people can afford to buy houses and have kids because they graduate law school and they have $400,000 in debt. and maybe that's good or bad, but, like, if you want people going to work for, like, from, like, indigent defense or environmental law instead of going to a white shoe law firm because they don't want to be destitute,

we need to figure out a better way to structure a cop paying for college as opposed to having to be heavily financialized and priced to the fucking moon and going up, like, 20% a year because this is not sustainable. And I would, I would like to pair the student loan forgiveness with, like, a giant federal package restructuring, grants, loans, giving people interest rates in line with what banks get, capping how much colleges can raise their tuition's year to year, shit like that.

Because, you know, we had to talk to this before, but, like, there was a college administrator talked about, like, how they set their price points. And basically, it's just that they will charge one college raised their tuition, like, 30 grand a year to see if kids would pay it. And more kids applied because they think. thought the more expensive school meant it was better. Yeah, right. So this is a twisted system.

Yeah. Absolutely. House cat on YouTube says $10,000 is nothing. It literally does not even cover my interest. Yeah. I had not seen the details until we just now talked about it. And Matt put a link in our comments there saying all the same stuff you were saying. Yeah, it's, uh, it just, it makes it same like it's just some sort of, you know,

relatively toothless like like a bargaining chip or something like with the midterms coming up like hey look we're doing something but yeah like you said that's for most people with significant student loans which I think is most people with student loans $10,000 is and it's also got the parameters on it about the income and all that

Renee Sycamore mom on YouTube says I've been paying on mine since 2012 and I feel like I'm never going to be done yeah Eric J. Laufenberg says student loan forgiveness will help me immensely. That's good. I'm glad. Glad to hear it, Eric. If you're close to, if you're close to being done, $10,000 is a lot. But if you owe 140, that interest is going to put that 10

grand back on in a year. So, yeah, like, it's worth noting that, like, I see a lot of conservatives being like, don't take a loan. You can't pay back. These are 17-year-old kids. Dude, I was, I was just about to bring all that up, too. It's such a, like a predatory system, because also they're raised for ever, their whole childhood, believe that like, you know, you got to go to college. It's crucial to having a successful life in this country and everything. And then they find out that it's an investment in your future and all this. And it's like, that shit is true enough. But then they get there and they find out, they just are told these numbers that are might as well be imaginary to a 17 year old. You know,

they're like, well, I'm going to be making so much bank with my sweet ass college degree. That won't be shit. And, you know, they say, and it's not fair. Jasmine. Parker says, I'm scared to see what my balance is. I haven't paid in so long. It's terrifying to think about. Like, I think I told this story on here before, but briefly, I once signed up for three separate credit cards as an 18-year-old college freshman in exchange for a medium pizza. Three medium pizzas I got.

And now, I didn't know I was signed. They literally lied to my face and said it was just, it was like, no, this is to receive more information in the mail. And then I got credit cards in the mail, you know, a couple of weeks later. but like that's people prey on college kids for these exact reasons and I was dumber the most but you know dude what I read this comment real quick is from Aaron McCullough my loans are 45k because they trusted a money dumb 18 year old to make huge financial decisions I was an English major had no business making huge financial decisions like hey would you like an extra $10,000 for a new laptop for your schoolwork right which is like that's the just to point out how corrupt this is because it's the best way to the best way to smuggling corruption is to hide in something fun and optimistic like your child going to college, right? Right.

They've rigged the system where, like, usually loans carry risk. That's why you pay interest, right? The bank is taking a risk on you. They have rigged the system. This is the, student loans is the only kind of loans you can't discharge through bankruptcy. There's only two kinds of loans you can't get out of. Student loans and given, and taking 50 grand from Tony Soprano. Right.

Yeah. So, like, they're taking no risk, which is why they push all this money into this sector. and a heavily financialized education and allowed colleges to push up tuition because kids are barring hypothetical numbers when they're two money done to know what they're doing

and it's a rig game. If you're paying interest, the bank should be taking some risk. If you give me $45 grand for an English degree, which is about what my student loans were and I got an English degree too, Aaron, then you should be taking a risk that you made a bad bet

and a guy who's not going to pay you back because you fucking gave a kid for a bunch of money to get an English degree. That's your fucking fault Just like if you give somebody A bunch of money to buy a boat And the boat sinks and it's uninsured That's your fault

You made a bad investment So yeah It's like it's two separate rules Like all we carry all the risk And they get all the benefit So that's what makes me so angry About the student loan thing The specifics of it

I don't have an answer to it Because the whole the whole The whole system needs to be restructured financially And $10,000 is a bandaid on a pimple So yeah Michelle Minich, Spencer says English majors unite. I started out as an English major and switched to psychology,

which is equally useless bachelor's degree, more so, honestly. Yeah, a professor made me memorize the prologue to the Canterbury Tales, and I can still ruin a party by reciting the first part. One that opero with a sure is sookta, the drukta marchi, it pays it to the root.

Yeah. Look at that. How about that, everybody? I think we got to go out on that note for Mark regales us all here. All right. Well, again, go to Trey Crowder.com. Check out my tour dates. Going to be adding more soon.
