Starting point is 00:00:00 What's up everybody? Welcome back. Happy Skews Day 2. It's September 26th, 2023. I'm Trey. That's Mark. How you doing there, Mark? Great, man. A lot of stuff going on. impeachment starts later this week. As a lookout, Joe. Ted Cruz went on Fox News and said that he's predicting that the Democrats will replace Joe Biden at the convention with Michelle Obama. So that's definitely the ticket to win an election in American history as you. What you want to do is nomadne to a black woman. Do you see that we went on on Canadian Parliament this week or lately last week?
Starting point is 00:00:42 Okay. Actually, I'm glad you brought this up because I did. I was doing a Patreon thing where I like look at the news and try to make sense of it in real time. And I saw this. I think I saw what you're talking about. And I was like, what? And, you know, trying to put it together. So they had like.
Starting point is 00:01:00 a Nazi guy come to the Senate, their version of the Senate and like gave him a standing ovation or something? You know, you know how Zelensky was here last week? And it did like,
Starting point is 00:01:12 the House Republicans refused to meet with him. You know, he didn't get all the stuff he was asking for. And you're like, oh, well, this can't go get worse for this trip to North America can get worse. So it goes to Canada.
Starting point is 00:01:25 They have a joint session of, they have a session in parliament where they, apparently Canada, has a big Ukrainian population. A bunch of people fled to Canada during and after World War II. And they have a guy there, they're like, here's a guy, a Ukrainian Canadian who fought the Soviet Union to defend his homeland in World War II.
Starting point is 00:01:45 And everybody's like, wait a minute, who was fighting a Ukraine in World War II? And it turns out he was a Nazi soldier, but not just like a guy got drafted and it was wanting to kill some communists. He was in the Waffen SS. They wheeled this guy He's got to be 102 or something, right? He was 98, so basically they all got embarrassed. The speaker resigned as opposed to speaker.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Trudeau was like trying to pretend it didn't happen. And this 98-year-old guy got canceled. And Poland's trying to extradite in between crime for war crimes. Ooh, that's a bad week right there. Talk about a roller coaster. Like, hey, I'm in parliament getting cheered on. but I but like I like I don't know I like I want to be like well you know they didn't know or whatever but like you said as soon as you were like yeah he defended his homeland from the Soviets in World War II and it's like I know what side of the Soviets were on in World War II like doesn't that mean he was on the other side like I do feel like they probably should have seen that comment you know like or at least I'm just a dumb at a little bit yeah like like I'm a dumbass graduate in college with a 2.8, and I don't work, do this.
Starting point is 00:03:00 I don't work in politics full time at all. And I would have been like, maybe I should Google this guy. Right. Yeah. And they always give a huge standing ovation for, yeah, it's like, oh, Jesus Christ. Also with the optics of, you know, the Azol Battalion in Ukraine uses Nazi iconography and stuff. It's like you would, you'd think they'd be extra careful about that. But apparently Canada has a problem with this.
Starting point is 00:03:21 They have like literal Nazi monuments in Ukrainian cemeteries in Canada. And, like, one got defaced a couple of, during 20, in 2020, I think. And the police opened an investigation of that Nazi statue being defaced as a hate crime. And that was embarrassing. And then the police chief was like, yeah, this is pretty silly. It's also a shame that it's still up. When the cop is like, we should take down the statue, it's like, okay, this is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Anyway, Canada often, I just enjoy what other countries do this dipshittery, too. Oh, me too. Always. Yeah, it always makes me feel at least a little bit better whenever I see other. country. But then not really in this case, I guess, but like we've talked about before. Oftentimes I'll say something like that. And I'm like, all right, we're not the only ones. But then part of me would be like, but it does seem like we're like exporting this type of thing. Again, I'm not saying that in this case, but like with a lot of, they do some, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:13 MAGA-esque douchebaggery in some other Western country. I'm like glad it's not America, but then I'm also like, I know where they got this idea from. I mean, yeah, I mean, this guy obviously fled the Soviet Union. you know in the late 40s so like this is this is a homegrown Canadian problem we we didn't we didn't have to do with them building that statute and that cemetery so I'm gonna look I'm gonna like Canada own us when uh over your state side uh good news uh the WGA got to deal with the studios a strike isn't officially over but they canceled picketing until the you know this is just like until the contract language is
Starting point is 00:04:46 dotted and signed uh I'm relieved personally um they according to new york times uh our we haven't sent out the actual deal yet But the WGA email said it was an excellent deal. They usually don't bullshit. They would have been honest and said, this isn't great, but it's the best we could get if they were, you know, if they were, they would have said that.
Starting point is 00:05:06 The New York Times said they got streaming residuals, guaranteed staffing minimums for TV shows, and AI protections, which are all three things the business daddy said we were never going to fucking get. Yeah. They could have given this deal six months ago and avoided the whole strike, but they're coming up on the end of the third quarter
Starting point is 00:05:24 and they had to tell their shareholder something. And so they, they relented and which is a relief because I guess they finally realized you can't play chicken, but the guy who also dies if he swerves, because that's essentially a situation in union when it was in. Right. Yeah. It's like, yeah, there's too much to loot. Yeah. If we, like you said, we would take, like we're fucked either way if we don't get what we want. Right. Right. Caving doesn't really do anything because it's like an existential crisis in that scenario. So, yeah, just there was only one way out with with continuing. to shrink rooms and replacing more jobs of robots means you couldn't support the pension and health funds, which means the collapse of the union and the end of the, the end of the being able to make a living in the, in our business, which was not going to work. So it was a real get busy living or get busy dying situation where it's like, okay, if this is going to be the end of everything, we're going to do it in our fucking terms, maybe. So like, so like, yeah. So, uh, you think like,
Starting point is 00:06:18 is sag right around the corner then? Because the sag is still going on? Is this going to be like, okay, we did this? Now we're on to that. Like, we got what we want. Maybe the actors get what they want to. Yeah, what the precedent said, it doesn't make sense for them to hold the line of the same stuff. They just gave, you know what I'm saying? So that's the reason they did the Writers Guild. That's the reason it would do the Writers Guild first is because it's the more complicated deal with the more military union. And so it should be easy with the other ones, unless they hold the line for AI because it can replace every background actor or whatever.
Starting point is 00:06:46 But SAG's not going to surrender on that for the same reasons. It's existential. Other labor news, Biden went to Detroit today. I think it was Detroit. He went anyway. He went to walk to UAW pick. alongside Sean Faying and the president of the union. It turns out Trump's pro-worker event,
Starting point is 00:07:01 is that a, is that a non-union factory hosted by some mega-psycho owned by some mega-siko? So like, it's not even clear, but the Washington Post on the headline saying Trump is doing a pro-worker event, meanwhile, Mark Levin, Trump, the mega, you know, influencers is calling Sean Swain Mussolini compared to Mussolini. It's like, I don't know how you can,
Starting point is 00:07:26 be less clear on this. Anyway, Sean Fain did it, went on cable news today and said a bunch of, he laid it out pretty clearly to Wolf Blitzer, although I still think they're not going to get it. Also, like an underrated asshole in the UAW strike, I didn't realize this is Joe, well, it's Joe Manchin because he is technically Democrats, really, the Republicans lining up with Joe Manchin. Biden administration wanted something in the build back, an element of the Build Back Better Act that would have offered like a $4,500 credit. If someone bought a electric vehicle built by union labor, both the UAW and General Motors supported it and probably would have given leverage the union to be like, you can just make these union jobs because you'll sell these, the electric vehicle plants union because you're going to sell way more electric vehicles. And it might not even be happening if it wasn't for the Republicans and Joe Manchin. So this is like fucking stupid.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Josh Howley went walk to picket today, which just pissed me off. He may read his Twitter. Privilege to visit the picket line in Winstville today. These workers deserve better pay, better benefits, and guarantee their jobs will stay in America. Then pass the pro act dip shit. This bill has been in front of the last three congresses. It's a law of the way. It's called the Protecting the Right to Organize Act.
Starting point is 00:08:43 It would give more labor protections, make it easier to organize a union and like we can like right to work laws. And I want to see your vote on that, Holly, you fucking asshole. I just hate just posturing with like complete lack of stuff. Right. No, exactly. I mean, that's the whole, we talked about last week or the week before or both. We talk about it all the time. Like that's like one of the things that drives me the most crazy about them is like you said, posturing with no substance. And that the fact that they like get away with it like largely that he can go and do this, get the photo op or whatever. And it hits for his base or whatnot, despite the fact that everything he's done policy wise and his tenure as a senator and everything he will do is in opposite, direct opposition to like regular working people. but they just, you know, say the right bullshit lines, take the right pictures, whatever, and somehow pull it off. It drives me fucking crazy. I get they want to cover conflict, but you don't have to cover political conflict. You could cover, like, real world, like, policy conflict, right?
Starting point is 00:09:41 That's the real thing that's happening here. There is a fight here. It's the UAW and the companies. It's between pro-labor, pro-worker politicians and anti-labor, anti-worker politicians. All Jeff Halley's going to do is crush workers and then yell at them about, like, pronouns or something. thing and say blue glass people blue color people don't like pronouns like what like shut the fuck up man people have to use people don't need food need money to buy food and pay the rent that's the material problem here and it's like uh i find it uh yeah yeah complete failure maddening

Starting point is 00:11:59 Now, as for the show tonight, it turns out Democrats do crime too every now and then. At least New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez sure seems to have. And we're taking the firm stance here at the skews that we don't like crime and crime is bad. And anybody that does crime should face accountability for it. We know novel concept. I personally love cool crimes. This is not a cool crime. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Some crimes are rad, I suppose. But yeah, but this one, no, this ain't cool. So anyway, there's some lurid and tawdry details involving gold bullion and money envelopes and fun shit like that. We'll get to it all a little later. Halal meet Weird Wives, Egyptian carveouts.
Starting point is 00:12:43 It's got it all. It's got it all. But first, we begin with the Daily Dumbass. Matt, graphic, please. tonight's dd anyone who doesn't think the swifties will go full via kong on your ass in a heartbeat that's right i don't know if y'all have seen it or not but maga is going to war against taylor swiss fan base and i tell you what my money is on the swifties i was just on uh i was just on the damage report on uh the young turks network this morning we were talking about this
Starting point is 00:13:17 Travis Kelsey stuff. And I said, I was like, buddy, I'll tell you right now, I would much sooner incur the wrath of the online Maga Horde than incur the wrath of the fucking Swifties. Like, you don't want that internet smoke, buddy. The fucking the Swifties will come at you heart. If y'all don't know what we're talking about, Taylor Swift is, it seems, dating Kansas City Chiefs tied in,
Starting point is 00:13:40 Travis Kelsey. She attended the Chief's game against the Bears on Sunday, which amounted to record-breaking ratings for the Chiefs. use Bears games. Travis Kelsey's jersey sales are at 400%. It's all the rage right now in the football world, and conservatives are pissed off about it, not only because Taylor Swift went full woke
Starting point is 00:14:00 when she took on Marsha Blackburn and is out here trying to register her fan base to vote and other such commie things as that. But Travis Kelsey recently made a vaccine commercial and a Bud-like commercial. So, you know, you got a woke storm forming here. here, Mark, and they're not happy about it. This is the one of the most, I guess the cultural war gristmill must be, you know, fed, but like this is the dumbest fight to pick for all the reasons you just outlined.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Like, like, her, the prices of her concert tickets got hearings in Congress because people were hearing from their kids. All right. So, like, to give you a sense of what we're talking about, Tommy Lauren made a video where she wished they both get myocarditis from the vaccine. Clay Travis posted this tweet. Let me just read it to you because it's magnificent. Clay Travis is like a conservative sports influencer for like a better way to play.
Starting point is 00:14:57 He's unfortunately a Tennessee guy. He started out as like a Valls reporter in Nashville. Then he made his own website and he started doing all this MAGA shit, which of course led him to exploding. So he's like, like you said, he's like a MAGA sports dude who I hate. So he says, Travis Kelsey is doing. Bud Light and COVID shot commercials. He needs to fire all his marketing agents or he needs to just go ahead and cut his
Starting point is 00:15:21 dick off, become a chick, and endorse Joe Biden. All right. So, Trey, is it gay to score a touchdown in an NFL game where your team wins by 31 points then leave on the arm of a pretty lady? Right. Super gay. Dude, yeah, that's, they've all been, they've been doing this thing where like they're caught, like, they're like trying to infer that Travis Kelsey is like a beta male
Starting point is 00:15:45 pussy or something. I'm like, dude, he's like 6-5-2-40 runs a 4-5-40-yard dash and would like destroy any of you. You know what I mean? Like he looks like a fucking Navy seal and is a future Hall of Famer in the most masculine sport in America. And you're like calling him a queer because of his new girlfriend. You know what I mean? Like it's it's wild, dude. It's wild. It really upended like what traditional American understandings of masculinity are like there's like literally nothing i know it's had nothing to do with sexuality but there's nothing less air quote gay than like playing nflb football right and gay in the way they think of it like being offended or whatever but like it's like it's
Starting point is 00:16:27 just utterly bizarre and like you're right taylor like she posted one instagram on sunday and 35000 people registered to vote but after seeing this stuff that's going to go up like 10fold like yeah in oh yeah in 20 years we're going to have a a social democracy see where the Kansas City Chiefs are America's team. And your grandkids ask why. You're going to be like, well, it all starts with Jake Gyllenhaal and Joe Jonas being tough to date. What the fuck happened?
Starting point is 00:16:55 So I'll say this and I've always, I feel like I've pretty much always gone to bat for Taylor Swift a little bit. I've had arguments of people over the years where I'm like, listen, dude, she writes her song, she's fucking legit. And I'm not just like pandering to the swifties. I have always felt that way. My wife's a big fan. But I saw a video the other day.
Starting point is 00:17:13 it got clipped out and put it on the internet and I guess there was some big Taylor Swift documentary on HBO or one of those streaming things and I didn't watch the whole documentary, but this was a scene from it. And it's her backstage with her people, her reps and stuff, talking about how she's wanting, she's wanting to
Starting point is 00:17:29 come out publicly against Martin and call Marsha Blackburn a bitch, right? And like, and go against her in the state of Tennessee. And like her people and her dad especially are like you please, please don't do that. Please don't do that. It's like you're It's so divided right now.
Starting point is 00:17:44 You can't piss off half of your fan base things. You're going great or whatever. And Taylor's like, no, fuck that. She don't hit for me. She hates women. She's anti-we. Like, I can't stand by and just watch this shit anymore. I have to say something.
Starting point is 00:17:56 And then she went out and did and then became like, you know, the biggest record-breaking concert touring artist in 30 plus years or whatever after that. So like, fucking go Taylor Swift, man. Like, I respect that. That hits for me. I like that. probably some conservative teens out there who had shoes between agreeing with their parents
Starting point is 00:18:16 or go up following Taylor and they fucking chose Taylor. Yeah. But like Nick Adams, like you had the weird, the guy we make fun of a lot, had the weirdest tick. Like I heard that Taylor Swift's Ares tour
Starting point is 00:18:28 is struggling to sell tickets. And that's why she's like pivoted to woke. It's like, bro, you don't know, the tickets are like $7,000 a piece for that shit to sit. Also, that's why she pivoted to woke.
Starting point is 00:18:37 I thought you go woke, you go broke. That's what I'm saying. I go woke, go broke. Right. she went woke and broke all the records after that so clearly something is a miss
Starting point is 00:18:47 here. Yeah, like it's like, I'm very cynical about celebrity stuff. Like that, I saw that clip you're talking about it. That's her own self-produced documentary that I'm sure that's part of her manicured public entry. Like, not that she wasn't taking a risk or whatever. I'm not doing that, but also like this
Starting point is 00:19:02 flirtation with Kelsey is tied with like a rollout of her concert tour film. Anyway, whatever. The point is, she sways she sways the public and like Saturday Sunday's
Starting point is 00:19:16 Chief's game where they were playing the fucking bears who were the worst team on earth in every sport well the Denver Broncos might have something to say about that and in fact they play this Sunday Mark so tune in everybody
Starting point is 00:19:29 to see who is in fact the worst team in the NFL but yeah the bears are real bad real real real real bad the Bears game on CBS drew the highest rating of the week for any network for any gay NFL game,
Starting point is 00:19:43 which means NFL is the most popular show on TV. So with any TV show, a 24.3 million viewers turned in. That was not to watch the Bears. That was because Tate was waving in the box next to 100%. One of the worst games of the week. I mean, the Chiefs drilled him like 45 to 7 or something like that.
Starting point is 00:19:59 It was never closed. So, yeah, it's 100% just because Taylor Swift was there. She was on a, I saw some NFL podcaster to make this point that she was on the NFL Reds If you don't follow football, is a show that just shows like score, almost about to score plays. A channel just shows like flips from game to game. Taylor Swift was on the NFL Red Zone more than the Jets.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I was watching Red Zone. Well, I was only, yeah, because that game was in the second window, I think. And I was back in my hotel room waiting for the show to start watching Red Zone. And, yeah, they were gushing over it because the NFL, they fucking love PR. They love any kind of, you know what I mean? Like, they're all about that shit. So they're fucking licking their chops. right now. They were loving it. They were cutting to her every other play. But yeah, I just
Starting point is 00:20:46 think, like I said, I, you know, I ain't worried about Taylor Swift or the Swifties or any of them in this big battle. They've got brewing. Like, I think, I think they're going to be fine, you know. Yeah. Tommy Lauren's going to fight a bomb in her mailbox. Probably 50 bombs in her mailbox, but yeah, if Taylor gets myocarditis especially. Yeah, a bomb with glitter in it. Yeah. All right. Our first honorable mention for Daily Dumbass is anyone whose biggest dream was to vehicular homicide, a sperm whale. What? Donald Trump, everybody.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Hit it, Matt. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than hitting a whale with your boat. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than hitting a whale. We also, we talked about this on Young Turks earlier. It's like, and right after this, he goes on this thing where he's like, it's not boats that are killing whales. It's windmills. Whimmills are killing whales. You're like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:21:42 There's somebody what the fuck things about that where it's like, I tried to put it together and I was like, okay, in general conservative philosophy, like boats are sweet and windmills are gay, right, and bad. So like, it can't be boats that's killing whales. It's the windmills that's killing whales. But then at the same time, it's like, but whales are gay. Like, aren't like, like save the whales. That was like the hippie admonishment for years.
Starting point is 00:22:08 He's like, look, this saved the whales-ass motherfucker. And now they care about what's killing whales because it's when they're doing it? Like, what? There was an old, there's an old Simpsons episode where the high school, the bully, the bully Nelson was wearing a shirt that said, nuke the whales. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:28 And Lisa asked, why would you want to nuke the whales? He goes, got to nuke something. That's essentially been America politics for like the last 50 years. And now they pivoted to. loving whales just because windmills it's like they just want whatever's worse for the environment. Whatever is worse for the environment. That's what's saying they're on.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Nialism. Oh, it's just like the birds we've talked before. Apparently, according to them, windmills are just on fucking bloodlust death spree against our world's wildlife out here because we've talked before about how they're like these windmills are murdering all the birds. And we said then it's like, y'all don't give a fuck about birds.
Starting point is 00:23:04 You take whole trips just to shoot as many birds as you can. You're talking about windmills like it's so ridiculous yeah so yeah like i did i did watch the rest of the clip and tray is right what's what he's talking about is windbills killing uh uh whales in uh the you know atlantic northeast but like because some whales did wash up on shore near like a wind farm but they they also had to do is look at and be like these whales get hit by boats they already looked into it but conservative media this is back when tucker car this is back in january Trump's half remembering a new story from January when Tucker Carlson was still in the air.
Starting point is 00:23:41 He went all in this like wind farms are killing whales shit. But like this is a speech. I just wanted to talk about this because like Trump's going crazier and getting dumber at a rapid rate. But because no one just wants to talk about it because they wanted to be an even race with Biden or some shit. But like so this is a speech he was giving in South Carolina during which he appeared to think he, you remember running against Jeff Bush in. 2016 in the primary and talk shit about beating his ass, but then confused him for being George W and being the president who led us into Iraq. Then he mixed up Biden and Obama seemed to think that he beat Obama in 2016, even though
Starting point is 00:24:23 Biden, he beat Hillary, who's neither Biden or Obama. Then he said he was worried that President Obama meeting Biden might lead us into World War II. Yeah, I know. And then yet, they're like, you're really going to vote for pap all Joe Biden? He's going to be 82 or whatever. You're really going to do that? And it's like, are you seeing this motherfucker?
Starting point is 00:24:47 That's what I'm saying. It's like, it's always framed just like Democrats are worried about Joe Biden's age when it comes to facing Trump. And I'm like, Trump is what, two, three, maybe four years younger than him. But he's old as fuck and also is insane and stupid, like you said. Like, and it's clearly getting worse. somehow he just dodges all that. I know we talked about it on a previous episode. Some people are like, well, he's got a childlike wonder to him or whatever.
Starting point is 00:25:13 But like, what the fuck are we talking about, man? I want to talk about this Biden old story that I read today that infuriated me. Nothing because he's old. We all know it. Like the time to replace him, like he'd have voluntarily stepped down six months ago and named replacement, but they don't have anybody waiting. So we're just locked into this roller coaster. It is what it is.
Starting point is 00:25:31 He seems fine. I hope he doesn't die. If he does, we'll be fucked. it is what it is. Right. So after this speech, Trump went to a gun store and they showed him a Glock, I think it was a 9mm with a head, his face carved in the handle, and he said, I want to buy one. And his social media manager posted it.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Then a bunch of people were like, you know, indicted felons can't buy guns. That's against the law. So they deleted it. This is basically the same crime that Hunter Biden is going on trial for, by the way. this gun store is the same one it's called Palmetto State Armory that sold the guns to the Jacksonville shooter, the guy that killed
Starting point is 00:26:11 three black people at the Dollar General with the gun he painted a swastika on. This is the same fucking gun store. I don't know whether he chose it for that reason, but like it's still bad optics and bad like this would be a scandal if Biden did it by accident, right? For sure.
Starting point is 00:26:27 No one's even asking if Trump did it on purpose. And this, so how is this race being covered with a guy who's crazy, dumb. Trump, he went online this week. He re-tweeted a bunch, reposted, sorry, re-truth, what do you call it on true social, a bunch of Q&on content, and then posted a statement saying that NBC should be put out of business and the people that work there locked up. And then he said that General Millie, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, outgoing, should be executed for treason. And then this article, Axios this morning, scoops.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Biden's team don't let him trip mission. This is a very long story. That's a story. Yeah. That screen grab was from the Patreon episode about it. This is a very long story about how the White House is having Biden wear sneakers more and having him enter Air Force One from a lower door that's treated like the Pentagon papers. And in the 27th paragraph, it's like, oh, by the way, also Trump is insane. He said the chairman of the joint chief should be executed.
Starting point is 00:27:33 right this is this same weekend cassidy hutchinson the former white house aide is going around promoting her book now i don't know how much to believe this lady but according to her during january 6 when the protesters on t on tv were chanting like hang mike pence he was chanting hang mike pence along with them yeah i don't know dude if it's just like joe bodd wears sneakers joe bodd wears fucking sneakers well it's i don't know if it's just that thing we've talked about so much where it's like they don't have any very many legitimate things to like glom onto so this is just what they land on because they have to they have to have some kind of drama and controversy and muckraking and all that and when there's not that much else but whereas with trump it's just a
Starting point is 00:28:19 litany of things you know what i mean so it's like so it's like his old dumb insanity somehow flies under the radar because they need something to make him look like you know a favorite against Joe Biden so Joe Biden's old so that's bad so they can't talk about how he's old or something I don't know it's just it's weird and it's frustrating because yeah I'm worried too like I mean you know like you mentioned I think last week like you know I don't want to get into another RBG situation but with the fucking White House you know what I mean like Joe Biden is old you never know and that that don't hit for me but like there's one other there's going to be one other option and he's also old and in addition to that,
Starting point is 00:29:01 he's an insane dip shit. So there's your choice, you know. I just don't understand it. Do you want to take the risk of Joe Biden dying or do you want to die? Those are basically your choices. Right. Yeah, this is like, like, it's also like,
Starting point is 00:29:16 I will tell you guys if the impeachment uncovers some real corruption with Hunter or whatever, I'll fuck, I'm not going to do propaganda, but there's like, Joe Biden's the old-fashioned kind of corrupt where you take camp, you solicit camp, campaign money from credit card companies, and then write financial regulations in their favor.
Starting point is 00:29:33 That's right there in front of you want to write that story. That's back when he was in the Senate from Delaware. That story's boring to them. Like legal corruption is, is, legal corruption is boring to them. Anyway, let's talk about some illegal corruption. You want to? Well, I was about to say, you know, if he does some shit, we'll tell you. Proofs in the pudding right here.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Right. Democrat senator who's done some shit. Yeah. Let's talk about it. Bob Menendez, senior senator from New Jersey, longtime scumbag, appears finally be caught dead to rights in ways that, like, aren't really deniable. He's been tried, he was indicted and tried for corruption in 2015 and got off on a hung jury. And then the DOG, the DOG declined to reprosecute because the Supreme Court decision was handed down in the meantime that basically legalized all but super explicit corruption. Well, here is some super explicit corruption.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Basically, what Menendez was doing, he started dating a new lady a few years back. Her name was Nadine. She introduced him to a friend of hers, an Egyptian American businessman named Wael Hainah, who has close connections with the Egyptian military and intelligence apparatus. And they got hooked up together, and they basically gave her a no-show job with a halal meat exporting company. and in exchange gave them a ton of cash or Mercedes and gold bars all right
Starting point is 00:30:59 his house was rated pretty sweet Dale man his house was rated last fucking June I don't I find it incomprehensible that everyone else didn't know about this that they just pretended it didn't happen maybe the rest of the Senate didn't know
Starting point is 00:31:16 but the DOJ know and they should have like given somebody a heads up that this was coming but they got They got envelopes full of cash with DNA on it from the spit of a guy named Daibis. Sorry if it pronounced the name wrong if we have any Egyptian. This is a different Egyptian guy. The guy, it has this guy, Diabius turn address on it, plus his spit with cash in it, stuffed into a hidden like a jacket pocket in Menendez's closet.
Starting point is 00:31:45 What he was doing is basically Hana was under indictment for some other shit. He was trying to control who the DOJ appointed. federal prosecutors were in this like uh district so to try to have leverage to get the case dismissed by protecting uh daibis so and i and hana and i like meneda has been so close to get and got so many times like i assumed he was a really smooth operator and then i'll read this indictment and like i'm like of course he was an idiot he was like testing egyptian and military officials do you want to bribe me today winky face right it's just like god damn man it's so he like It's so easy to just do straight up fucking crimes.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Well, that's the thing. It's like, you know he must be fucking up in some regard just by the sheer virtue of the fact that he's like getting called at it. Same thing with Trump. It's like all the shit. It's like he did that in front of all of us. You know, most of it's like it was right out in the open and it's like, that's what it takes. It's got to be egregious when you're at like that level of power for it to, for, you know, for you to actually get caught doing it, you know, which means you're a dumb ass. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Yeah. So he basically what he was doing for them, besides trying to defend them from prosecutions, was he said something he's the head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and we make sure that we gave more military shit to Egypt, which is a pretty sweet deal for like $480,000 in cash plus you get a bunch of free American weapons or cheap American weapons. The halal thing, like look at this Google search. So he went on a trip to Egypt to meet with these people. He came back and like the first thing he does when he lands. is he Googles, told us up there, Matt, how much is one kilo of gold worth? That's so funny. Jesus fucking Christ.
Starting point is 00:33:34 How bad is bribery? Has any senator been caught for bribery? What are the sentencing requirements for bribery? Yeah. But like this scam has sub-scams? Because they gave her the no-show job working to basically a half-existent, Halal Meat Exporting Company. Nadine was pissed off.
Starting point is 00:33:53 She wasn't making enough money at her fake job. So she complained to Bob who complained to Egypt. So the Egyptian government gave her an exclusive contract to export halal meat to Egypt. The USDA was like,
Starting point is 00:34:08 wait, you can't have a monopoly in America. We have laws against that. So he tried to stop it from going through. And Bob called and yelled at them. They're like, fuck you. We're not paying attention to this. They still stop the monopoly they were going forward.
Starting point is 00:34:20 So, but so she was still pissed. They weren't paying her enough. So they just bought her a Mercedes. The feds found in her in their garage. But she was texting him about all this business. And he had to tell her, stop texting me about our crimes. And she immediately called it. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Is this one of those things were like, was the halal meat getting to Egypt, meaning like, was there also some company who just does that all the time, who was like a subcontractor? You know what I mean? Where they were like, hey, she's going to take this cut. And you guys do your business. business and we're going to guarantee you the contract or it was like just none of this even happening you know what I mean it's just like an on paper thing yeah I didn't I didn't see any
Starting point is 00:34:59 those details in there about like whether or not any meat was actually moving I'm assuming some meat must have been moving otherwise why you needed a monopoly if you're just sending money you can just send money right and send receipts saying you bought meat but like if you guys oh hello I should mention if you guys uh uh you know uh don't live under sure uh you know aren't into Sharia law. Hala is basically, it's just like, it's like a Muslim version of kosher. My understanding is it just means the meat was bushered, as painlessly as possible. So the animal didn't suffer.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Sure. And, you know, one talks about that. All right. Go ahead. Well, I'm not, you know, not down with any kind of religious fundamentalism at all. But like in New York, they have these carts. They call them halal trucks, right?
Starting point is 00:35:40 That's because all the meat on them is. So it has nothing to do with like the spices or the prep. Well, you know, it's just got to be. prepared right, like Mark said. But based on those, I will say, it is flames. Whatever they're doing with, I don't know if it's the halal part that makes it good. I assume it's not. It's all the other parts they do. But I am a pretty big fan of those halal trucks. Maybe chicken and goat and lamb taste better. If they're not scared, we're to kill it. I don't know. Maybe I used to when I lived in Queens, in New York, I lived next to a halal butcher shop and I just see them
Starting point is 00:36:13 unloading the chickens every morning. It's pretty cool. Not for the cake. Not for the chickens, of course. So his defense, if you're wondering what it is. One, he tried to play the race card. The first thing you say, it was it's not lost to me how quickly some are you rushing to judge a Latino and push him out of his seat. But he's been in Congress since the 90s. He was elected to the Senate in 2006.
Starting point is 00:36:35 He's one of the more powerful people in the Senate. You represent New Jersey. Nobody's coming for you because you're Latino. No. But this video clip, I want you to watch this. Because this is really a galaxy-brained defense for reasons I'll explain even more thoroughly in a second. Third, for 30 years, I have withdrawn thousands of dollars in cash from my personal savings account, which I have kept for emergencies and because of the history of my family facing confiscation in Cuba.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Now, this may seem old-fashioned, but these were monies drawn from my personal savings account based on the income that I have lawfully derived over those 30 years. All right. He said, I'm just a poor immigrant who doesn't trust banks because of my cultural background. How dare you guys judge me for having a half a million dollars hidden in jacket pockets in my closet? Right. Yeah, it's like rednecks burying their money in the yard or hiding them in couch cushions or something like that. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Because it don't trust the banks or whatever. He's on the Senate Banking Committee. Well, who better to be on the banking committee than somebody that doesn't trust banks enough to, you know, bury their money, Mark. I would agree, but if you know some shit's about to go down with the banks, Bob, you've got to fucking tell us. Well, that is true. I guess, yeah, that's your whole job on there is to keep them from doing the shit you're saying you're worried about them doing, you know. Right. So I added to this, like, he's not the first Cuban American politician to do this in our, you know, a red bait fucking political environment.
Starting point is 00:38:14 they like he was born in new york city in 1954 five years before the cuban revolution all right his parents fled the batista regime and the idea that they like pretending the communist or anybody confiscated all their property and that's why they're scared they'll have to flee and take money with them is ridiculous because his mom his family was blue collar like they didn't have anything for batista to confiscate but he were like ted cruz and marco rubio do this shit too both their families fled the batista regime but they'll do this rhetorical side of hand where they'll go like um my parents were Cuban immigrants period I know the horrors of socialism period there's two separate thoughts but they act like the two things are connected.
Starting point is 00:38:54 And I fucking, you fled a right-wing kleptocracy. That's what you fled. Castro might also be bad for different reasons. But don't pretend that your personal backstory is fighting communism because it's fucking not. By the way, his defense of having the $480,000 in cash in jackets, he doesn't mention the gold bars or how he got them or why the gold bars he got, he said in text that he got from Egypt, he was selling to another Egyptian guy who was apparently on the scam and he to give him cash.
Starting point is 00:39:23 It was a way for them to smuggle a bunch of cash in a suitcase without having be in cash, all right? Right. But the whole, I'm just, I'm just Cuban thing reminded me. Remember when Andrew Cuomo was accused of sexual harassment?
Starting point is 00:39:36 Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm just very Italian. Yeah, this is what we do, you know. Let's get a little handsy,
Starting point is 00:39:43 you know, spaghetti people. That's how we are. We're touchy-feely, a little sexual assaulty. You know, it's part of our culture. And if you wonder who the victims of this are,
Starting point is 00:39:52 Okay, one of the things he helped, you know, besides, you know, the Egyptian government being a horrible dictatorship or oppresses its own people who's up getting them more weapons, which would have more power to do that. I didn't realize this. Egyptian intelligence was apparently involved in the murder Jamal Khashoggi, you know, the guy who Saudi Arabia has, they kind of sat off in Turkey. Yeah, right. Yeah. I didn't know that Egypt had anything to do with that, no. Me neither. And one of the reasons we might not know about that is Bob Menendez has tried to keep it quiet.
Starting point is 00:40:22 I guess the Saudis stopped over in Egypt to pick up some drugs they used or, I don't know, drug Khashoggi before they cut his head off. And he gave, he had the intel on this and knew who was going to go public in the media and the news and gave Egypt to head up. He'd be quoting of the senator's wife gave a heads up to an Egyptian official quote, so you can prepare your rebuttals. Menendez, because it was positioned as a head of the Senate for Relations Committee, also added like a de facto veto on, policy towards Cuba and he basically like one former Democratic congressman was like basically every time we passed a bill to loosen sanctions on Cuba it would be dead on arrival in the Senate and we could never really tell why now maybe maybe Menendez has a principled objection to the Cuban government through all its iterations and policies over the last 50 years even after the USSR fell
Starting point is 00:41:18 Castro died all that shit but the thing about being for sale is no one knows when you're actually exercising your principles right yeah few and people have suffered well that's the thing about integrity of this asshole yes you know that's the thing about integrity it's like you got to maintain it or then you don't have it's like your virginity really you lose it and it's gone you can't get it back like you said so it's like once your integrity is questioned every move you've ever made retroactively becomes spurious in nature you know because of that's why he's got to go right He's got to fucking go.
Starting point is 00:41:53 It's like, it's like, let me quote, the brilliant Tyler Childer's lyric. It takes twice as long to build bridge as you burn, right? But like, there's a weird, weird pushback here isn't coming from Senate Democrats who, like, dithered and took too long to do anything about this, but Arch calling on and to resign. There's a conspiracy thing. This is talking about the dinguses for before the Senate of Republicans, even though Senate has some dinguses. Charlie Kirk said the DOJ indicted Senator Menendez to create the appearance of impartialities they could continue their jings. they could continue their jihad against Donald Trump. Molly Hemingway, who's a conservative opinion writer,
Starting point is 00:42:29 who's an absolute crackpot, quote tweeted this. Some guy said Menendez is always corrupt, but only seems to get indicted when a Democratic administration is capitulating to Iran. She said, yes, interesting pattern to this. What the fuck you guys talking about? Like, attorneys general, the last two Democratic presidents have tried to put,
Starting point is 00:42:51 Menendez in jail. And your theory is it's because he's too close to taking out the deep state. This guy's getting gold bars from Egyptian intelligence. Right. Well, it's like the whole, like that and the, uh, oh, they just wanted to appear fair because of their whole deal with Trump or whatever. And it's like, all of that is just like, right. Or maybe it's because he did that shit.
Starting point is 00:43:14 And he did it in a very public and, uh, and stupid way. And thus something had to be done about. It never, it's like it never enters their brain that like something might have just actually happened. Like with Trump or with this, where there's always got to be someone ulterior motive or explanation for it or, you know, some kind of weaponized politics or whatnot. And it's like maybe he's just been getting bribed out loud for a while and something had to be done about it, you know. Maybe consider the possibility the Department of Justice thinks it's bad for a sitting U.S. senator. Right. To help Saudi Arabia and Egypt to get away with cutting the head off of an American.
Starting point is 00:43:51 and resident who writes for the Washington Post. Now, that can't be it. No, I can't be it. Hunter Biden's involved with this somehow. Yeah. We'll uncover it any day now. So to their credit, Democrats, finally, he was indicted on Friday or became public
Starting point is 00:44:09 on Friday. He's, by the way, turning himself in tomorrow to be array. A majority, I think, of Senate Democrats plus Bernie who caucuses with him is technically an independent of call for him to resign. But they took too long with the only one that went quick was fetterman of course he did he doesn't carry a shit about giving a shit about wearing cargo shorts he doesn't care about your he's not friends with this guy like the rest to you he hasn't got their back at a fundraiser so uh he's the
Starting point is 00:44:36 first one to call from resign he also put in a statement because menendez had given money to his 2020 campaign he said quote we're in the process of returning the money in envelope stuff of hundred dollar bills yeah yeah he's cheek he's cheek yeah that her money and I appreciate it. What Menendez said, he kept afforded $40,000 in cash for personal emergencies, for household emergencies,
Starting point is 00:44:58 Federman posted, we keep flashlights with batteries. Yeah, I mean, you know, that's a good one. That's a slam dunk. To his credit, Shera Brown went second
Starting point is 00:45:11 and the gates open this morning. But then Chuck Schumer has been defended, Menendez said that he's a dedicated public servant. Buddy, read the indict. But he's not a dedicated public servant. He's fucking all about it. He's casuals everything around this motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:45:28 He might be quietly pardoned to push him out, but he hasn't done anything publicly. And Saturday, a third-turned rep by the name of Andy Kim from New Jersey, and now he's going to challenge Mendez's primary. This guy seems cool, like a decent guy, really earnest, bleez in public service. So he's probably got no chance in New Jersey. But still, I'm rooting for it. But he made the point. How can we ask Americans to vote against an indicted Trump, but foreign indicted
Starting point is 00:45:51 Democratic Senator, especially was evidenced this damning. And the thing is, Menendez won with like 53% of the vote. It's like 53 to 43. So like wasn't close, but also it's a bare majority. New Jersey should be a safe blue state. But Menendez isn't popular because he's been well-known fucking crooked douchebag for the entirety of his career. He was primary in 2018.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Last time he was up for election by a county clerk who had no money and got 38%. People in New Jersey are sick of this fuck. Push him out. But the thing is One of those things where it's like they're just The establishment's not proper anybody I have to go against him In fact the opposite is true
Starting point is 00:46:27 But like the Democrat New Jersey Is going to win the general every time But in the primary You know The people are basically screaming like Please someone other than this motherfucker But that but yeah That hasn't materialized yet
Starting point is 00:46:43 I think you need two thirds of the Senate To vote to expel a senator And like they might get they got more than half of Democrats. You'd think where you get every Republican. But no, they're taking Menendez's side. Tom Cotton posted this today. Senator Menendez is a right to test the government's evidence in court, just like any other citizen. He should be judged by jurors and New Jersey's voters, not by Democratic politicians to now view them as an inconvenient
Starting point is 00:47:05 to their hold on power. Rubio said something similar. McCarthy, Kevin McCarthy over in the House, called for Menendez to resign over the weekend, but then backtrack today. I guess they had a meeting and decided it's good to have him around, maybe to have him to hold him up as comparison to Trump. I mean, you know, I mean, I could see that, like, politically the idea that, like, it would be better for us, the Republicans, if this dude stuck around and wasn't, you know, brought to account because of his crimes. Because we can point out, as long as he's around, we could point at him and be like, yeah, what about that guy? Even though, like, they are the ones who helped keep him there in the first place. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:47:39 You still point to him to him be like, what about your boy here? He's still sitting there. He still got his job. What about him? Yeah. So the real question is, like, because he had 20. 2018 was the time to push him out because he would hit it was the first election after he'd almost been convicted by a federal jury, uh, under federal charges. And the party stood behind him. Cory Booker endorsed him. Hillary Clinton went to a fundraiser. Right. Yeah. It's like, I don't like that. I don't, I don't, I don't care for that. Because it's like it, because it drives me. I've said a lot, I've harped a lot over the years about how I wish like Democrats stuck together more. And I've pointed, but I've always been like with shit like without Franken or something.
Starting point is 00:48:18 or you know what I mean or some like sort of like like culture war controversy or something and we'll fucking turn on each other in a heartbeat which is always driven me crazy and I you know and I was like say what you will about the right then motherfuckers stick together like it don't matter if you fucking you know was a fucking you know rapist pedophile judge they'll go to bat for you or whatever it doesn't matter and I'm not saying we should defend that I'm not saying that but we could have a little more solidarity on the left instead of picking each other apart all the time but this is not what I meant. Like when there's actual, you know, crimes involved, then it should be the opposite, you know, because we do, like you said, that's the thing about integrity. You know what I mean? Like if somebody's breaking the law, they should be held to account just the same as anybody else, you know? Yeah. I mean, I don't want to relitigate, frankly, because we're running out of time. But like, the thing is, like, Republicans have it easier when it comes to this ship because people having no faith in government is good for them. Right. To have a government be full of a bunch of corrupt assholes, they could point to be like, see, government, we should fucking. destroy every federal program and, you know, and cut everybody's taxes and just everybody get a gun and you're on your own, right? So that's like, so I don't, like, Franklin got replaced with a senator who's fine. It's fine. I want people to go to the doctor.
Starting point is 00:49:31 I don't care about Al Franken's resume. He's going to a podcast. He's having a good time. So in 2000, like, thinking about, when I talk about Menendez being crooked for a long fucking time, all right? Skip, forget the 2015 charges where he was basically charged for all, Also for Brabary there. He was doing favors for a Florida eye doctor for some reason who gave him a bunch of expensive gifts and free travel.
Starting point is 00:49:56 He basically tried to help this guy. This guy's name was Dr. Melgan. He helped this guy's business interests out by intervening with a government agency over a Medicare debilling dispute. He also helped him get a contract in the Dominican Republic. He also helped foreign nationals get visas to visit Dr. Melgan in the U.S. He has also been accused of corruption since at least 2006 in the statehouse. where he apparently funneled some federal money into a nonprofit and siphoned some off.
Starting point is 00:50:22 In 2012, he was accused of hiring underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic. That was likely horseshit ginned up by the Daily Caller, because the girls later said the Daily Caller paid them to say he had sex with them. So let's just forget that one for a second. Politics is fucking scummy. So after Bob beat the charges in 2015 with a hung jury, he called Trump. It wasn't really him, but Trump.
Starting point is 00:50:48 It was stuttering John from the Howard Stewart Show called Trump. It got put through from the White House to Air Force One because Trump was so excited to talk to Bob Menendez just because they love being corrupt together. Listen to this so I can call. Hi, Bob. Hey, how are you? How are you?
Starting point is 00:51:12 Well, congratulations on everything. We're proud of you. Congratulations. Great job. He went to a tough, tough situation, and I don't think a very fair situation. That there was actually a prank call. All right. You're good.
Starting point is 00:51:27 A comedian John Maloney's. Oh, what? Like, what else, what does he like about this guy other than, it wasn't even the guy, it was a comedian pretending to be the guy, but what does he even like about this guy ostensibly outside of just his overt corruption? That's it. You're doing great things to the corruption game, Bob. You're really showing him out there, man.
Starting point is 00:51:47 fucking breaking all the laws and sticking around, buddy. That's what we like to see. So speaking of how much he likes Bob, Trump likes Bob, after Melgan was convicted of Medicare fraud later in 2017, Trump commuted his 17-year sentence. Just some more Menendez's corruption ship. Menendez received at least two donations from the people's Mujahideen of Iran before September 2012 back when it was listed as a foreign terrorist organization.
Starting point is 00:52:14 when you're getting campaign donations that have the check has both Mujahidean and Iran in it. Yeah, right. Yeah. Not a good look, Mark. Not a good look. I saw this. According to the Senate Historical Office, Menendez is the first sitting senator to be indicted in two unrelated criminal matters.
Starting point is 00:52:36 He's statistically speaking, the most corrupt U.S. senator of all time. And because the reason being. Usually the first time you're indicted on serious charges. Right. You don't come back. Yeah, right. You don't come back. Because it's embarrassing to the party.
Starting point is 00:52:52 You don't get reelected. Well, that's the thing. It's like, we talked about that. Like, that used to be the case. It's like there used to be, I mean, they were all corrupt behind the scenes and doing a bunch of bullshit and everybody, we all know that. I'm not saying they weren't. But like, if you got caught with something for the longest time in American politics, like, you were fucking done. You know?
Starting point is 00:53:12 And like, that's just how it was. I mean, it would bring up Howard. Dean all the time. He just said some weird shit on the campaign trail and got fucked out of it. You know, like, but that used to be sort of the standard, but I feel like Trump and the MAGA thing and all. And I know this guy's a Democrat, but like,
Starting point is 00:53:26 that's just not a thing in American politics anymore. Like, you can, you know, you can get caught doing the shit we all expect you, or I'll suspect you might be doing behind the things. You can get caught with it and charge with it. And still just keep your job and keep your power
Starting point is 00:53:42 and everything, evidently. My real feel here, I guess we've got to triage him in some order, but he causes Democrats to lose New Jersey if he managed to hang on to a primary. He switches parties so he isn't expelled from the Senate and fucks up the next two years of government. It gets hands, you know, Senate majority leader back to Mitch McConnell. He just drags the whole party down in this muck for months. I just like, this is so fucking weird, gross, man. man. It's just like, just go away, dude. Why do these people, why do they let him stay in power so long that he's so entrenched
Starting point is 00:54:21 they can't, they can't really get rid of him? Right. Why is there no such thing of shame anymore? Yeah. And why did no one see this coming? Not just since, you know, he took the Mujahideen money. He was accused of the underage girl thing, not true, but whatever. The fact that people thought it was credible is fucking weird because he does a bunch of other

Starting point is 00:57:08 basically saying Jewish people happy Yom Kippur Yom Kippoor Yom Kippoor yesterday and she used a photo of a menorah, which is a totally different holiday. That's Hanukkah. It's also just like, I personally have fallen to this trap before because I don't really know what all the Jewish holidays are about. I guess you only know what Jewish holiday is happening when there's no traffic going down to Hollywood. Yeah, yeah. But like, so I've wished people a happy Yom Kupur before. So I had to text my friend Elizabeth who watches the show sometimes. Hi, if you're watching Elizabeth, who's Jewish, and be like, what do you, so I know the Yom Kippur is a day of Atomah. So what do you actually say to people? I know there's a Yiddish thing to say that,
Starting point is 00:57:41 or a Hebrew thing to say that I don't understand. and probably wouldn't pronounce correctly. But it's a day of introspection. So you can just have a nice day of introspection. So that's what you say. Anyway, Roger Taylor Green didn't have a Jewish friend to text is with my point. It's like, yeah, right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:57 No, of course not. I got all the space lasers, man. You got to be hanging out with them. Anna, L.A. says Yom Kippur isn't happy. Yeah. I know that now. Yeah. Mark figured it out.
Starting point is 00:58:09 But see, I would never tweet something like that because I would be self-conscious about, yeah. everybody's letting you. It's funny. I feel like you guys wrote these comments before Mark finished his anecdote. Just joke. You don't say happy Yom Kippur. Easy fast, Virginia
Starting point is 00:58:23 says. So there you go. Say easy fast. Yeah, I would be so self-conscious about what I don't know about the Jewish faith that it would prevent me from like tweeting something like that in the first place. You know what I mean? I mean,
Starting point is 00:58:35 there's a synagogue around the corner of my apartment. Maybe you have an easy fast. Yeah. Now I know what to say. So there's a synagogue around the corner from my apartment. that I walk by, I welcome my dog every day. And they had armed security yesterday. So that's the main thing I know about it is it's very scary to be a Jewish in America right now.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Yeah. I mean, you know, unfortunately, it's not entirely new for them, but it does seem to be getting worse lately. Thanks, Kanye.
