Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews 9/27/22 – J6 Committee Finale

Episode Date: September 28, 2022

With the January 6 Committee season finale on the horizon, we’ll get into what we expect from it. More bombshells? Any actual consequences? We don't rightly know but by god will we ever speculate. Join us. Support the show

Hey, everybody, welcome back. Happy Skews Day to you. It is September 27th, 2022. I'm Trey Crowder. That's Mark Aegee. What's up, Mark? What's up, Trey? First of all, I want to send thoughts and prayers to the people of Florida in the Gulf

Coast right now because Hurricane E.N. is barren down. Last I saw two and a half million people or been told to we've actually. my wife's family's hunkering down in central Florida, canned goods and shit. You got your, you know, your hurricane parties going on. So hopefully stays safe and dry.

And trees don't fall over in their cars and shit. So they're there. Well, with any luck, this hurricane will perform as poorly as the Miami hurricanes have been this year. And then everybody makes it out okay. Because, yeah,

Miami hurricanes couldn't fly. So hopefully Ian keeps that up. Yeah. all the best to everybody yeah let's hope the air anthropomorphized weather uh weather football team uh is a forbearanger of i'll use that word wrong you know what i'm saying i did uh fun update story we talked about uh about i guess about over a year ago uh during all the reddit game stop stuff which we were having fun with um if you remember we talked about somebody dug into like with some weird stock and trying to figure out what it was And it turned out a single deli in New Jersey, like a deli that doesn't sell potrami sandwiches,

had somehow achieved a $113 billion valuation on Wall Street. Bill, billion? Yeah, I think it was, yeah, million. Say million. Maybe I misread it. I read it this morning. Anyway, way too much money for a deli. So anyway, those, it turns out there were three guys who had used an offshore shell corporations to, like,

trade stuff back and forth to elevate its value and they got arrested for securities fraud. Two of them did. One of them fled to a non-extradition country with all his money. So good for him, I guess. You ever wonder how much the economy is a real trade? Oh, all the time, dude. Anytime I think about the stock market, that's like kind of where my head goes because it's just all like numbers on spreadsheets and databases and shit.

And it's all just like, yeah, speculative and seemingly made up and fantastical. It's wild how it all works, which I don't understand how it all works. I mean, in our dumb business, not that anyone else outside of it should care, but discovery, you know, the organization that makes property brothers and shit and ghost hunting shows and 90-day fiancé bought Time Warner on a credit card and started selling it off for parts. And you're like, how is a smaller company buy a beer company and then destroy it? And who's loaning the money to do that? because they think it's sustainable or good business.

And they immediately shelved the $90 million back girl movie that had Brendan Fraser and Michael Keaton in it and just deleted it. And like, who wrote the tax code this way? And why is it more profitable? All the talk about nobody wants to work anymore. How are corporations making money not doing stuff than doing stuff? Yeah, I know. It's crazy.

It's like, yeah, all that shit's been like getting worse. But yet they've all had like record years in terms of, you know, Revenues and profits and shit. Yeah, I don't know. It's horseshit. It don't make no sense. I'll tell you what isn't horse shit, though. Producer Matt and his organization, rural organizing.

We talk sometimes about how you and I just say stuff and we respect people who do stuff. Well, producer Matt don't say nothing ever because he's too busy out here doing shit. So his organization giving them a shout out. They just had some pretty interesting polling numbers come in. This polling found that abortion rights is, in fact, a definitive issue amongst rural battleground voters. So they polled undecided rural voters in battleground states and found that abortion, a pro-choice position came out on top of the list of needle movers, as it were, more so than party identity or an endorsement from Farm Bureau or a labor organization. it seems like abortion rights is pissing people off nationwide country and city folk yeah something that's said in the pre-show about how like the farm grow is taken for speaking for all of rural America is really funny because it met through the number out of eight percent of rural people at work in agriculture I actually grew up on a farm but like most of my friends did not even though we're all rural but so it's like yeah it is interesting to me that like the the the city slicker assumption is that we're all out here till in the land and shit.

And it's just not true. Big factory farms have put everybody out of business. Everybody works for somebody else now. But yeah, it sort of makes an intuitive kind of sense because when you live rural, you're deprived of health care in a lot of ways. Like you've got to drive hours to get to a doctor. So the state passing law is to make it so you have to drive four, six, eight hours to get to a doctor.

Don't hit it. And it sort of makes sense. The numbers are pretty astounding. like a foreign bureau endorsement moved a boost to Democrat support by 7%. These are surveys of mostly independent voters in Senate battleground states. They got a 7 point boost from a foreign bureau endorsement, but a 9 point boost from a Planned Parenthood endorsement. Florida and Georgia, the boost Democratic candidate got from abortion's rights group

endorsement was even more pronounced, while a Farm Bureau endorsement resulting in 5-point bump, a Planned Parenthood endorsement yielded an 18-point boost. So the other big takeaway, I feel like from this, and I mean, Matt said this in pre-show, but you guys are not privy to Matt's angelic voice, so we just have to relay it to you. But I think it's a really good point. It's like, I think the conventional wisdom has been for like Democrat candidates when it comes to rural campaigning, the idea that like, well, you know, don't talk about abortion, don't bring it up because that'll torpedo you or whatever. And I've said shit like that before because I assumed it to be true, but this seems to,

imply that it is not, in fact. In fact, it could be the opposite. So, yeah. Yeah, progressive policies, people like them. The Democrat brand people do not like. You think the Democrats would figure out that their problem is an abortion. The problem is the way you guys talk about it. Yeah.

So anyway, run on your beliefs. Say what you mean. Clear language. And also, people don't like having their rights taken away. Don't hit for people. So, yeah, just to be honest about what's happening and say it in clean, simple language and not some graduate school double speak, which is, you know, will we go back to over and over here? Quick update before we get to the show. We talked last week, we talked to Santa's as a stupid human trafficking scheme a lot.

And it wasn't clear what had happened. We talked about how the private jet tracker showed that there was another flight booked from San Antonio, from the same company from San Antonio, the same place, the other flight. took off to go to Martha's Vineyard, supposed to go to an airport near Joe Biden's house. They're just going to drop another group of people off and next to do it near Joe Biden's house to, like, troll. It wasn't clear what was going to happen. It apparently was supposed to happen, but once word went wide that the public was aware of it, DeSantis said, he lied and said it was a fake out move to troll the media. Now, what happened was he had paid for this flight and then decided not to do it after the politics of it weren't clear anymore.

And, yeah, he spent, the contractor is a DeSantis campaign donor and buddy. He's apparently given him close to a million dollars so far to move to not even, the Delaware flight didn't move anybody. But he spent a million dollars in Florida taxpayer money on this scheme so far. And so who's being owned here? It's not liberals. It's Florida taxpayers who could probably use that money for hurricane recovery at the moment or in the next few days. weeks. Yeah, I'm kind of surprised personally that they ended up not going through with it because like we talked about last week, I feel like on their side of the aisle, the shit was like

a home run. I thought they loved how much it owned us and everybody was all fired up about it and shit. So I'm kind of surprised, I'm pleasantly surprised because I don't want them doing that shit anymore, obviously. But yeah, that's not how I would have thought it would turn out. It is incredibly popular among the bloodthirsty Republican base. It's not popular. It's not popular among regular people who just like don't want to see mean stuff on the news. So I think I saw like 44% of people like this, but that's still, that's way too many, but it's still not a majority. So anyway, fuck him.

But anyway, in other news related to this scam, the woman who recruited the smith migrants to get on these flights, we talked about it last week, her name's Perla, or the name she gave them was Perla. The organization in Texas is offering a $5,000 award for information leading to to uncovering the identity of Perla. So that Bear County Sheriff's investigation, I doubt it could touch DeSantis, but this woman could definitely be in a little bit of trouble. So yeah, fuck Perla, fuck DeSantis. I hope they get the bottom of who she was and what she was up to and who she worked for because all these people are fucking sickos.

And I do not like them. I know what bad things to happen with them. Heard that. Ditto, buddy. All right. Let's get into it. With us as always, this producer, Matt. This is Weekly Skews.

Okay. As for the show tonight, the season finale of the big January 6th committee sagas around the corner.

What's going to happen? More bombshells? They're going to tie everything up with a nice little bow. Are they introducing new characters this late in the game? We're all going to find out soon enough. But Mark and I will talk about what we need. know already a little bit later. But first, of course, we will begin with the Daily Dumbass.

Matt, graphic, please. Tonight's D.D., nuclear weapons for getting your papal all riled up. You'll understand in a minute. Play the clip, Matt. The N-word. You know what the N-word is? It's no, no, no. It's the nuclear word.

He mentioned the N-word yesterday, the nuclear word, not supposed to be mentioned. The N-word, you know what the N-word is? So. Everybody, like, ooh, I know that me, me. Yeah, call me. I know this one. I got. No, no, no.

Literally start screaming out at it. Oh, God, it's so fucking funny. And shitty, in a shitty way. But my God. Yeah. They just reveal who they are. All the time. No, no.

Hell, yeah. We know it. We know it. And later, like, damn, that was the easiest question on the quiz. And I got that wrong. Jesus Christ. It's like, what was, who was it that we showed a clip of them in front of a similar crowd saying, you know, people like to say that I'm the most racist politician in this

country. And the whole crowd's like, oh, yeah. He's like, well, I don't know why you're cheering because I'm not. They're like, oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, what was that? But another thing. That was Sheriff Joe Arpaio

At an even more racist version of CPAC hosted by American Brewsters or whatever Yeah Trump apparently Used that construction Talking about nuclear before a bunch of times Somebody finally made a compilation of it But yeah

He always talks and brings up the N-word And then turns to talk about nuclear I guess he was talking about Ukraine or something I don't know it doesn't matter He doesn't have any idea what he's talking about He's been telling people that If he got if he was president, he'd make gas prices lower and then somehow that would have kept Russia

from invading Ukraine, I don't know. It doesn't make any fucking sense. Speaking of not making any sense, we got another one here for you, a honorable mention America for being great, but not great really anymore, but also gay maybe. It's hard to say, really, but we'll let Trump explain. Great country. Remember I was going to say, it's going to use an expression, we have to keep our country But it's not, I mean, at some reason, it's just not great anymore.

If he ran on Keep America Gay, he might win 75% of the vote. It's like, we've talked about it before, but it is wild. Like, they, you know, they say they're the Patriots. We're the ones who hate this country and shit like that. But they're also the ones who talk about how much the country fucking sucks all the time and how, you know, it needs to be better and everything. So it's an appropriate clip, I think. Yeah.

And the trick is they never say what would actually make it better because it wouldn't make it better. It's like if you ask me what I'd do to make America better, I'd be like, oh, you know, single-payer health care, for starters. I would adjust the tax code so like small companies couldn't buy bigger companies than ruin them. You know, so like that. Workers' rights and shit. Yeah. And they're like just a vague sense of making it whiter is like all it takes. right and the first video we showed they're like they always staged the whether they're paid

or whether they're actual supporters or not they always make sure that they did the three or four or five black Trump supporters that are there are behind it yeah and you watch the like this looks like the guys wearing a veteran's hat this old this old black pap ball is like stone face during the first part people move the inward and then when he was talking about nukely goes yep yep i'll do that what he's talking about yeah yeah he's something mounts man um yeah all right our next honorable mention go ahead oh i was going to say like it is he's not really much in the public eye right now um but like i keep saying he's getting worse but he is getting worse he's retwee he's like retreuthing on his social social media platform clear q and non content

like i'm talking about like cartoons where he's wearing a superhero shirt with a dry cue on it so yeah well it's probably the first part that he's super into uh but yeah now he like if those people love him even more than normal maga types, then he's going to be full-blown cue in no time. You know what I mean? It's just how he operates. I was reading Will Somer, who's the Daily Beast

reporter who covers, like, right when he does information and personality cults and stuff like this, just talking about what he's up to. And because this is not a way to electoral success, but if you have a justice system coming after you and what you want is a bunch of pressure on the system from stochastic terrorism,

And this is probably the way to go. If he's doing anything rational, it's making himself even more the messianic leader of a religious cult who will fire off courthouses on his behalf. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's fucking frightening, but definitely makes sense as far as that goes. Our next honor will mention for Daily Domaz, anyone who thought it was impossible for a veteran to steal valor, apparently. Ohio Congressional, Ohio GOP House candidate J.R. Majewski has been caught misrepresenting his own military service. He's often bragged about being an Air Force combat veteran who was deployed to Afghanistan in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, talking about the tough conditions that they faced on the ground over there. However, documents obtained by the Associated Press through public records indicate that he never went to Afghanistan. Instead, he spent a lot of time, I think it was, in Japan, and then a six-month deployment

in Qatar during the war in Afghanistan, where he loaded an unloaded plane. So slightly less glory, sounds like. Yeah, this is really funny because you just be a veteran, man. People affect veterans. Right. Yeah, you don't have to fucking do that. Like, if you, he did serve. People respect that as they should.

Just go with that. Don't make yourself out to be fucking Sergeant York or something. didn't do it especially in this day and age but you know yeah and it's also he was in the air force which is the the branch that not saying they don't see a lot of hand-to-hand combat in air force so it's not even clear what he's it but yeah the specifics of those are hilarious because he keeps telling this story about like about the tough conditions in Afghanistan saying the like lack of running water being go 40 days without a shower in Afghanistan but the thing is the military if you spend more than 30 days in Afghanistan, you get a medal for it, and there's no, like, like, it's

like a service medal or whatever, and he didn't get that. So there's no, he can come with any reason to justify, well, he did come over the reason. I want to show this video. This is him describing why it's not in his records that, not in his service records that he actually deployed. In fact, the orders and the military records that I've been able to obtain from my personal files shows that all of my deployments are listed as classified. This was a strategic and strategically placed, excuse me. All right, I think that's good, right? Yeah, he's like, he's like, actually the reason is is because it was

maybe more cool than badass, really, but I wasn't allowed to tell you guys that, but that's actually what's going on. It's like special ops, Navy SEAL type shit. That's what it was, but I can't talk about that. So, yeah, you got, you guys seem Jason Bourne. Well, my real name is not even J.R. Majuski, it's a, I recovered my memory, as turns out. It's got such a fucking dip shit. He also didn't receive a global war on terror expeditionary medal, which you get, if you ever, if you, you, you took that just for serving a direct service in the war on terror. So, like, whatever his framework of his service was, wasn't really, he was like doing resupply stuff for like a in a country that's not even adjacent.

What wasn't, is this the guy, he was like a MAGA rapper? Also, he was a MAGA rapper who was at January 6th and a Q&N guy and all this stuff. So he checks a lot of the dipship boxes, you know. Yeah. He's the one, he got Trump's attention by painting a giant Trump mural in his yard. We talked about him a while back. He basically mowed a giant Q into his lawn. You could see it from the air because he's a big Q&I guy.

He now says he never supported Q and though he's quoted directly on Q&9 live streams being like, I love Q. I think Q was great and everything you're saying. it's true um also the funny thing with this guy he's a look every profession is mediocre people in it that includes air force comedy whatever right so he um the striking thing when people look at his service record was he like only got one pay grade promotion in four years in his years of service which is like not normal i think he only made it to like e2 which is like the second lowest level of pay you can get.

So they basically worked at McDonald's for four years and was stolen the fries. And he got, he exited his enlistment code, he's I'm quoting here from the AP. His enlistment code also indicated that he could not sign up with the Air Force against. They didn't dishonorably discharge him, but they did say

you can't work here anymore, but and really what happened was he got in a big brawl in a barracks. And I don't know if you won or lost the fight, but all he did was fight with Federal Air Force guys. You kicked out. But the result of all this, oh, we talked about my juicyy last week, too, because he'd spoke at a Trump rally last week. And he's the guy that said the thing about, um, uh, we don't get goosebumps. We get eagle bumps.

We get eagle bumps. That's one of his old bars. That's a line from one of his MAGA raps. Yeah. He's going to find ways to use it still. Yeah. So the, but basically after this happened, the House GOP campaign arm, uh, it's a million-dollar ad by his schedule to help him. He's up against a rep, uh, incumbent rep Democrat by the AMRC. K-A-P-T-U-R, sorry if I'm saying that wrong. So they basically just washed their hands of him. And this is a, this is a Trump, this is a district Trump won. So it should have been an easy pickup for Republicans, but you bumble-fucked it away

from them. Yeah, by stealing valor. So yeah. Yeah, classic bumble-fucking from these types. All right, our next honorable mention, John Federman and Johnny Cash for being Crips, evidently. You guys didn't know that. It's true. That from Newt Gingrich, if you got that.

screen grab of that tweet, Matt, yeah, it's a tweet from Newt Gingrich. Is Pennsylvania Democrat Federman's tattoo, I will make you hurt, based on his ties to the Crips gang, as reported by the free beacon, or a reference to the nine-inch nails heroin song, Hurt. Federman won't answer questions. Probably not the Crips thing. I would assume, you know, I'm not that up on Cripp recruiting. or anything like that.

He doesn't sing like the type. Yeah, it's nice to see like the racialized 90s panic over gang members back. Hadn't heard about that in a while. Even in L.A. where Crips and Bloods were a big part of the city culture. You don't even really see

anybody worry about that anymore. But so the way they're going, so Fetterman had a brief, how insane Fetterman's making them is hilarious to me. Like, they're going all in on Oz, who sucks, because, to their mind, Oz looks like a senator and he does, and Federman doesn't. And there was a big long speech, I forget who gave it the other day about how he doesn't wear, oh, Oz did.

We're going to get to it. Sorry, I got up early and I've been working on a day, so I'm a little out of it. But they, like, Federman, they asked him about his tattoos. And he apparently has a tattoo of the death date of every murder that happened in the town he was mayor while he was mayor. So, like, he turned his tattoo into a news story. And he's like, yeah, but these are cool tattoos. Right. These are my constituents who I failed because I felt bad about it.

And I'm like, oh, okay, well, I guess this is a good dude. Anyway, it's obviously a quote from the nine-inch nails slash Johnny Cash song. Right. But I look at the fact that he went to the Nine Inch Nails version. It is the original, but obviously the Johnny Cash version was a. was a much bigger head. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's, you'd said that, you know, he's like, yeah, but these are cool, though. You know, like they say something about him. He's like, but that's cool. That seems to be a theme, I feel like, with them and Federman.

For example, this next clip about his drug policy, I guess you would say, here we go. Yeah. In his life, Sean, he hasn't worked a day as lieutenant governor. He put the marijuana flag up. He thought that was funny. He's trolling his opponent. He thinks that's funny. Here's what's not funny, that there's been a doubling of overdose sets in Pennsylvania. While he's been in office from 2015 to 2021, fentanyl is rankling every corner of the state. Wade flag, pretty cool, you know. But also, like, the fucking linking weed to, you know, heroin or whatever immediately is also some 90s shit and before, you know, I thought we were passed by now. but all drugs are the same tray if you take if you take tall at all you're also uh contributing

to the fendil overdose crisis uh do we don't do fendal i think everybody's on the same page with um but like they're so thirsty and listen to dr oz talking about they can't help like they make everything they think sucks about him is all the cool things about it right exactly they do it all the time but yeah play yeah play that dr oz podcast clip my app I want to push back on the costume a little bit because this interesting phenomenon, I was stunned by it as well. But it turns out that if you're a far-left radical with the belief that this country is irredeemably stained, you just want to break it apart.

Just bust America, crack it to its base, break it asunder, and rebuild it with your toxic ideology. That's what he stands for. When he dresses like that, it's not an accident. He's kicking authority in the balls. He's saying, hey, I'm the man. I'm going to, I'll show those guys who's boss. I'm going to not allow any traditional path to succeed. Because by breaking some parts of it down, I can represent, I can break it all down.

That's the deeper message he's delivering. Yeah. Hell yeah. He seems he's just cutting campaign ads for Joe Federman at this point. John Federman is going to kick authority in the balls. Like, yeah, it sounds like that, first of all, it reminds me of that. Remember that famous kid rock tweet when he's a hay of, he. He's peeking around, a doorway, flipping his middle finger and goes,

the text is just, hey, authority. It's like, oh, yeah, it's fucking... Shout to him. Yeah. But now, there it is. There it is. Kid Rock thought that looked cool, which it doesn't. But Dr. Oz is making John Federman look cool.

Federman almost immediately, through his Twitter troll persona, adopted it as his campaign slogan, and made essentially a campaign poster. It says, Federman, kicking authority in the ball. he just the way he's handled social media and just all this shit throughout the whole thing has just been a masterclass as far as I'm concerned man he fucking he brings the noise on there um it is wild to me like the the the fentanyl like panic fentanyl sucks and we got to do a lot of stuff to try to save more people's lives including making them less sad than the society as they turn to drugs in the first place but like no one who none of these people seem to actually know what Fendil is to a degree like

this next one is a good example of it I guess this dumb ass here is your stupid kids for not using test strips on the heroin you bought them so here we go no it's the wrong yeah skipped one hang on he's finding it yeah right there

we got it coming it's okay everybody everybody calm down it's all right stop clamoring it's going to be fine I'm just trying to fill dead air

that's all I'm doing I don't even know what I'm saying anymore here we go yeah hold the law we will secure our borders so your kids

won't have to fear wondering that they're buying fentanyl and are going to OD we will so it's like he's like well listen

kids are going to do drugs and that's Cool. We just got to, you know, we just got to make sure that there's no fentanyl in it. And it's like, it's like a odd take for Kevin McCarthy to have. But I guess the focus of him is on the, the Mexicans bringing all the drugs up here is where he's. For sure. That's where he's talking about doing harm reduction, we need to make doing drugs safe so people can get motivated to get off them. Sure. But like the argument's making is like, these dirty brown people are making it unsafe for your sweet little 12 year old boy, Tyler, to do cocaine. Right. What the hell are you talking about? Like, for the record, 90% of the drugs that come into Mexico are driven in through legal points of entry. They're just hidden inside legal products.

Like, we've all, if you've seen Breaking Bab and they bring it in cans of stuff with the chicken restaurant, that's, that's closer to reality than whatever Kevin McCarthy is talking about. And also, almost the majority of fentanyl is smuggled into America comes from China in the mail. All right. So nothing they're talking about at the border has any relation to fentanyl drug overdose. just as these people are just fear-mongering about migrants and fuck them. If a migrant had access to millions of dollars in fentanyl, why are they sneaking in asking for asylum? Right.

Yeah, I don't know. It's almost like none of it makes any fucking sense, you know? All right. Our final honorable mention is going to be an update you've all been waiting for, but the honorable mention is everybody else in the world for being less mentally healthy than this dude in Ohio, evidently. Matt, you got that clip. This is Brandon Shea, a member of the Ohio State Board of Education,

who had this to say about everybody's new favorite, completely made-up panic. Let's sweeping right by storm. Yep, there we go. This just will not go away. We are witnessing perhaps the greatest collapse in mental health in the history of the world. We've literally got kids who think they're cats and dogs. dogs using their boxes in classrooms. Still.

And yet some of the same people who have had the most influence in these areas for many years tell us that only they have the wisdom. Only they have the solutions to the complex. It's so wild. They latch on to these things every now and then. It's like it doesn't matter how often they get debunked or whatever else. It's just like, I don't know, there's just certain things that just like get in their head and they just run with it.

They love it. As soon as somebody on this side hears this, guess because this, it's like what wokeness is doing to our youth or whatever is the reason that this is like such a thing that sticks with him, despite how fucking ridiculous it clearly is. But yeah, man. He was making this case introducing the made-up furry thing. We've talked about a bunch as a reason for his resolution opposing protections for LGBTQ and trans students via Title IX. He's on the State Board of Education, even though, according to his...

own bio. He homeschools his fucking children. By the way, if this guy's kids are watching, go read a real book because he's not telling you shit about anything. But it's not just this fucking guy. This happened again this week. The Republican nominee

for governor in Colorado. Here's a headline. Her name's Gannall. Gannall falsely claims that kids are identifying as cats all over Colorado and schools are tolerating it. This, no one knows, this hasn't happening. So no one seen it or knows anyone who's personally seen it.

It's a game of telephone on Facebook and they've completely made it about a thin air and they're fucking running on it. It's absolutely insane. Let me quote me quote from her real quick. Not many people know that we have furries in Colorado's schools, she said on a radio show. Have you heard about this story? Yeah, kids identifying as cats. It sounds absolutely ridiculous.

Yeah, I agree with you lady it does. But it's happening all over Colorado and schools are tolerating it. It's insane. What are we doing? Knock it off, schools. Put your foot down. Like, stop it. Let's get back to teaching basics.

loud this woke ideology. It is happening here in Colorado. It's why I moved from Boulder Valley to Douglas County because it was happening in my kids' schools four years ago. She's lying about the reason she moved towns. She already planted a false memory in herself of kids dressing up as cats. And I also saw today this pollster did a focus group with Trump 2016 and Biden 2020 voters about the things they were most concerned with. And multiple people brought this up as one other top concerns. Right. First of all, why would this be one of your top concerns in the world we currently live in?

You know what I mean? But obviously, secondly, they clearly, it was not a thing. It's only recently become a thing. But yeah, I wonder that all the time with them about how like, because in my head, I hear it. And I'm like, this person has to know that they're lying. And it just doesn't face them at all. But it's like you said, it's very popular. with a lot of them that somehow they do believe it sometimes a lot of the shit that they say it's like they like you said falsify it in their own head or they have a false memory or something but it is true to them even though it's shit that never happened and it's just fucking it's wild the shit is wild it's a sale of witch trials man just a moral panic it's gone wide through social media but the thing about this is like part of the you got to remember that they think kids or schools are giving kids who identify as furries which identify

I'm not going to, as a furry is the thing we talked about before. Litter boxes, they can, like, shit and poop in schools and litter boxes. Shit and am pooping? Yeah. And I was trying, I was at work earlier, I was trying, I was like, do you guys know this is happening? Because we live in such bifurcated realities that, like, all my coworkers did, no idea I was talking about. They essentially thought I was making it up all this other than they were laughing and talking about it. But like, reality is indecipherable to you if you don't know this is going on.

For example, this is a tweet today from Matt Schlapp, who's the chairman of CPET. and you wouldn't understand what this is intercipherable if you don't know this is going on if you have this screen grab matt right here yeah so he's quote tweeting a thing about mayor eric adams who's saying that kansas doesn't have a brand which eric adams is an own kind of idiot but he goes we go in toilets and we believe in god we believe god creates boys and girl so we go in toilets he's dunking on him by by talking about the fucking kids right boxes thing yeah well in kansas we use the potty okay so now we'll What? We go potty in Kansas, Mr. Big Mayor. If your brain isn't ruined like me where you know about the furry thing, what does this look like to a normal person? It's insane, man. All right. Well, let's talk about the January 6th committee. What do you say? It's coming back, sort of.

It was supposed to be tomorrow, right? But they've pushed it back because of. the aforementioned hurricane. Have they rescheduled it or they just pushed it back like indefinitely? No date yet. I'm assuming it would be depending on how bad Ian is because I want, it's like you don't be doing this sort of, I think it's good political theater to be doing and it's important to understand

exactly what happened. But it would look bad doing political theater while real people's houses are getting destroyed. I mean, yeah, I don't, yeah, I think it was the right choice. It also would suck up a lot of the media coverage and the point of this is to get people to hear about it. So I get why you push it. Mac. It would look bad and be less effective. So I get why. But this guy, it's not really,

so you got to read the tea leaves with this stuff, right? So they haven't announced what the topic of this hearing is going to be, but they will tell reporters on background. So when you read this story, you can sort of make assumptions about what the hearing is going to be about. Like this story right here from CNN says, understanding Trump's intentions for going to the capital in January 6 would provide insight into a state of mind that day in Capote, exposed more potentially criminal activity. So they've established they want to go to the Capitol, but haven't talked about why yet, what he was hoping to do or hoping to accomplish.

So I'm assuming that would be worked out or at least alluded to in these hearings. So a lot of anonymous stuff's been leaking out of this story. Somebody leaked a bunch of Mark Meadows texts. And this is pretty interesting. Meadow was texting directly with the guy who was running the legal efforts to try to seize voting machines. um which meadows turned over his text maybe he'll regret that later for not fighting it because other people have had more success then um the guy he was texting with this is mostly focused

to Atlanta and Georgia and it's pretty funny because the guy's basically spending live updates about all their terrible legal cases failing and he's like fuck the bullshit this sucks yeah yeah but yeah so the guy he's texted with he was cordoned and like these guys are skating by it because they're pretending there wasn't coordination, right? So that's where these things are revealing is that these actually were essentially coordinated and the people at the top were running it. Yeah, they're like, we had nothing to do with it. It's all just shit that happened.

It was, you know, rogue actors out there doing it on there and nothing to do with us, but they were, you know, texting with them back and forth. Yeah. The whole time. The guy Meadows is texting. His name is Phil Waldron. He's a former, like, Army intelligence guy. We'll get to that a little bit because it's an important part of the story.

So he was running both efforts, or coordinating between the two efforts in Georgia and Arizona. Like I said, he's a retired Army colonel. He worked with Mike Flynn, who's a special kind of lunatic. He made a, he sent Meadows a PowerPoint presentation outlining a plan for overturning the election, which was later used a brief Republican lawmakers, and it was titled, in part, quote, options for 6 January. So, yeah, that's foreshadowing.

he also helped draft language for executive order directed at the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security to seize voting machines on behalf of the White House. Trump never actually signed that order because his lawyers told him it could be a big no-to and get you in trouble

so he didn't actually sign it but like it was drafted and it was in his inbox. He was only like psychological warfare in the army and he got obsessed with foreign election hacking like that was a huge structural weakness in America's like infrastructure. And so when this, when Trump started laughing,

about this stuff, it really tickled his sweet spot. Right. A paranoid delusion he already had. But he left the Army a while back. And you're for wondering what he's been doing since then. He runs a bar and distillery in Dripping Springs, Texas. And this was funny to me from, because I was like, what is this about?

So the distillery, the breweries called one shot. And here's how it pitches itself. Retired U.S. Army Colonel Phil Waldron, a veteran with 30 years of service, wanted to find a way to blend his past to supporting fellow veterans and first responders as a world-class spirits and peers. He assembled a tactical team of individuals that shared his passions

and had proven experience to complete his mission. So they're doing tactical liquor, Trey. Yeah. I was trying to figure out how is he helping veterans. Are you donating, like, some of the proceeds? No, he just honors them by naming stuff after them. And literally market itself is like, this is the liquor you pour out for your dead homies.

That's literally what they... Jesus, man. What's his marketing as. And it's like, like, I'm looking at the website. right now. One shot vodka is called Match Grade Vodka. They rate all their liquors with caliber designations. And this was

Match grade vodka is 5.56 millimeter, which is the mainstay of fighting voices around the world. It's light, extremely accurate and always on targets. This is the most accurate vodka you can get. It goes straight to your bloodstream. All the liquors are like this. This is just the dumbest fucking thing. Anyway, this guy almost overthrew the government between

poorly naming liquors. Criminal prosecutors in Georgia are trying to to get both Waldron and Meadows to testify. Walden's been engaged in a month-long legal fight with the January 6th committee, which just subpoenaed his cell phone data, but he's smarter than Meadows, so he's least trying not to turn it over. Somebody in the committee also leaked this sort of best-of-Rogger Stone montize. Now, Roger Stone had a documentary crew.

I'm not sure if he hired them or just cooperated with them. Right. Following him around during all this is where they got all this footage. So if we have it, Matt, you can play it right. It's of Roger Stone. This one is on from November 2nd of 2020, on his way home, from a Doug Collins rally. This was in Georgia. Let's watch it.

Excellent. Fuck the violence. Let's get right to the violence. Shoot to kill. See an Antifa? Shoot to kill. Hey, fuck them. Dumbres the bullshit.

This other clip shows Roger Stone imploring the people in his orbit. How important it is to claim Trump's victory, no matter what, on election night. Here it is. Let's just hope we're celebrating. I suspect it'll be, I really do suspect it would still be up in the air. But when that happens, the key thing to do is to claim victory. Possession is nine-tenths of law. No, we won.

Sorry, over. We want. You're wrong. Fuck you. That was even before a winner. was even decided in the 2020 election been seen before. And it shows Roger Stone. This is on July 9th, 2020.

This is recorded by Stone's assistant during COVID. Oh, yeah. This one's wild. What they're assuming is that the election will be normal. The election will not be normal. Oh, these are the California results? Sorry, we're not accepting them. We're challenging them in court.

If the electors show up at the electoral college, armed guards will throw them out. I'm the president. You're not stealing Florida. You're not stealing Ohio. I'm challenging all of it. And the judges we're going to are judges I appointed. You're not stealing the election.

That's basically what Bush did to Gore. It's not wrong. We'll have an investigation. We'll say these ballots are fake. Your results are invalidated. Goodbye. That's the way it's going to have to look. It's going to be really nasty.

Wow. And at the very end of that, he was like, he's like, this is what we got to do because they cheat. You know, we don't cheat. It's like the whole thing is about how, like, we're explicitly about how we're going to rigged this election to keep them from cheating and we're going to do that by ripping up ballots and throwing them out and running away electors, you know, at gunpoint and all that shit because so it's like, we got to out cheat them because they're going to cheat us, but we never cheat and the whole thing is just fucking insane. Is he like the sorriest, sorryest one of them all,

Roger Stone, or most evil or whatever? Is it him or Bannon or who you think? Because he's got to be up there because he's pretty uh he's like mustache twirling uh level villain with yeah i would say i'll put him in different categories because he's he's bannon at least believes in stuff roger stone is just a full-on fucking power mad grifter so he's more venal i guess is i'd put it i'm not sure who's worse he's definitely less damaging than steat bannon yeah uh but yeah it's like one of those things it's like comparing trump and george w's presidency see. Trump was a much dumb or more evil guy, but George W

definitely killed more people, so I don't know how to rank them out. So, by the way, Stone's defense against all this footage is that they're all deep fix. So, yeah. If deep fix have gotten this good, sign me up, buddy. Also, I don't, like you said

before we even showed the clip, like it's not like you were unaware, you were on tape, or being filmed, you had a camera crew following you around. You didn't think, anyone was ever going to see that if you did think that why did you let them be there in the first but like it doesn't it's i guess it's like he was just so convinced that he would never be in this position i.e. that they would be unsuccessful in their efforts or anything like that and if they had

been successful he'd be lauded as a hero and this would be like a victory lap documentary for him or something but it went the other way so now he's got to claim it was all fake or some shit i don't know yeah i imagine his defense if he goes to trial he was like i'm just an entertainer man i'm just joking around i was put on a show for the cameras you know free speech yada he out of anyway, I hope it doesn't work because the guy's fucking a dangerous psychopath. And I was thinking about it. I think I talked about the show before. I met him once

at Politicon. I was trying to think like... What year was that? It would have been like, I don't know, 2015, 2014. Could it have been 20, so not 26, turn, 27? I didn't even know it, but I literally physically bumped into him at Politicon when I was there.

And I was going to ask if you were at the same Politicon and how I didn't know. that if so but yeah he'd be there all the time yeah Corey told me afterwards that I was I was like talking to somebody else or something and I like bumped Roger Stone without realizing it and he looked at me and made like a ooh trash

face and walked off so that's the extent of my experience yeah he's a sad weird little troll man he looks way weirder person than he does on camera and he just I was trying to think of the most famous person I've ever met and he's got definitely got to be in the top 20 I think

but like if he gets up going to prison for treason or something he'll rock it up the list So do it for me, Roger. So all that stuff that's been leaked was leaked anonymously. But this gets to her not anonymously because this guy is the funniest one of all for reasons we're going to get to. They involve Bigfoot and Dicks and grifting. But anyway, this is Denver Riggleman. We're going to talk about a second in 60 minutes.

Did it hit you at one point that this is way bigger than it appeared in the beginning? Absolutely. You get a real aha moment. when you see that the White House switchboard had connected to a rioter's phone while it's happening. That's a pretty big, a-ha moment. You get an aha. Wait a minute. Someone in the White House was calling one of the rioters while the riot was going on?

On January 6th, absolutely. And you know who both ends of that call? I only know one end of that call. I don't know the White House end, which I believe is more important. But the thing is the American people need to know that there are link connections that need to be explored more. As senior technical advisor for the January 6th Committee, Denver Wrigelman, a former House Republican and ex-military intelligence officer, ran a data-driven operation pursuing phone records and other digital clues tied to the attack on the Capitol. From my perspective, you know, being in counterterrorism, you know, if the White House, even if it's a short call and it's a connected call, who is actually making that phone call? Is there a simple, innocent explanation for that?

It wasn't an accidental call from the White House that just happened to call numbers that somebody misdialed a rioter that day on January 6th? Probably not. All right. So a few biographical details about here because we just talked about Waldron, who is a former Army intelligence guy who owns a brewery. Denver Riggumann is a former Air Force intelligence guy who owns a brewery. So we've got a real diverse interest to representing Congress. So, yeah, so broad strokes of Wrigelman's career, he served one term in Congress. We talked about him before.

He might not remember. He took a, he ran a one in 2018 after somebody decided not to run again after some allegations. They were a horrible boss and ran a terrible workplace. As a safe Republican district, he got primaried in 2020 because he made the mistake of officiating a gay wedding. and so that was unacceptable to Republican primary voters. And the main thing people knew it for and for is when he was running in 2018, his opponent pointed out and made it the main subject of her election campaign, that he is a big enthusiast and devotee of Bigfoot erotica.

Yeah. Well, sure. He probably got a big old, yeah, there it is. You know, Bigfoot got a hammer, dog. He's got to. Maybe he's just a size queen type of guy. I don't know. But in hair, like size and hair.

Now, he's just a big, bigfoot dude, right? Yeah. He loves Bigfoot. And his dude. His first book about Bigfoot gave him in 2006, it was called Bigfoot Exterminators, Inc. The Parsley Cautionary, mostly true tale of monster hunt. But it's about people who look for Bigfoot. And later is when he got horny about it and started drawing pictures and posted him to his social media accounts of sexy Bigfoot with a big hard cock.

it's very funny it's funny to think it's like because yeah I say he wrote these bigfoot books you know but they're non-erotic it'd be funny if his editor you know was like yeah I'm liking the manuscript so far but what's this part with the you know the threesome with bigfoot and two campers and the you know in the middle of the book

I think maybe we need to cut that out and he's like you you know you sure about that that's my favorite part he has to be getting bigfoot porn edited out of his works and stuff yeah there's one of his drawings i guess he's not a bad drawing but that's from his personal instagram which he shut down after someone dug these up um it's such a wild thought like putting that on your own instagram willingly and like without thinking like i'm going to have to delete this in shame one day this picture of big foot's rock hard abs and dick yeah like oh my god man yeah so

His explanation for all this was some sort of joke as military buddies played on him, but he wouldn't explain what the joke was or how the joke worked, which we all have running jokes with friends about the incomprehensible lore that doesn't make sense to anyone outside of her friend group. So maybe it's somewhat true, but whatever the joke was involved the existence of a Facebook author page for a new book he was writing titled, The Mating Habits of Bigfoot and White Women Want Him,

which I assume this artwork was for. By the way, the woman who was running against, who brought all this stuff to light, her name is Leslie Cockburn, who happens to be the mother of actor and director Olivia Wilde, who's been in the news a lot lately for their new movie. Don't worry, darling. So while Rubberman was in Congress, he didn't really do much. He just tried to not get prior to it.

Pop-knit jobs then. Yeah, yeah. Like, that's sort of, that's the whole job, man, not doing much. And the guy who lost the primary to is a shithead named Bob Good. who was the athletics director for Liberty University, which means he hired the coach who oversaw the Baylor's sexual assault scandal after they were fired from Baylor.

Anyway, so yeah, all these people are clowns that suck. Getting back to Wrigalman. So what he did here, he's on 60 Minutes promoting his book. He... This is a book he wasn't supposed to be writing. He signed all sorts of confidence. got agreements and stuff to work on the January 6th committee. Because what he did was after he lost his election, he got hired as a senior staffer to the United States House Select Committee on January 6th.

He quit that job in April of this year. About this stuff that's coming out after he gave an interview in June, the former CIA Inspector General, who's now the staff director for the January 6th committee, said an email to staff. I want you to know that I'm deeply disappointing his decision to discuss. to select committee's work on television and direct contravention of his employment agreement. So yeah, the committee does not want him to be saying all this shit. I have no idea. Maybe he'll push them to do

a better job, or maybe he's blowing their fucking wad. I don't know. But he had been rumors about this book deal while he was still working there and they confronted him over the rumors of his book. And he told him he's writing a book on a topic unrelated to his committee work. Maybe a third

in his Bigfoot trilogy about Bigfoot being pregnant. I have no idea In a later conversation Before his departure from the committee staff Riggumann had said he was been approached about writing a book related to the committee But he would not be published before the end of the year

So what he did complete about what the book was about He lied about when it was coming out So total weirdo Don't know how much to trust him But also the White House switchboard thing is funny Because he's saying like you can't have an unintentional call On the White House switchboard Yeah, you can't butt down from the White House switchport

That's not right. Yeah but also he said that a bunch of people several people in the crowd with their cell phones sent text messages to the white house switchboard which is switchboard also cannot receive text messages these people are so fucking dumb all of them our country was almost overthrown by the stupidest people here including members of congress who were all obsessed with bigfoot and yeah congress is basically where we house our craziest people and yeah yeah yeah It's a goddamn shame. All right, let's up, Mike. Get us some questions and comments and stuff. While Matt's looking for some, I'm just wondering, Mark, what you think, what's your, like, prediction for the end of January 6th committee as it comes to a close. Well, they're starting their final run of hearings. I don't know if they know how many hearings are going to have because they've already had more than they planned on as they keep uncovering more shit they want to talk about and tell the public about.

So I imagine they will try to do this at regular intervals up to somewhere closer to the election. because it's good politics to remind people that the Republican Party is significantly made up of psychopaths who want to kill us all. So my main prediction is they'll drag it out as long as possible. Yeah, I don't blame them. Oh, thank you, Matt. Like and subscribe, everybody. Share, tell your friends, leave a five-star review.

Do all the internet stuff. We would appreciate it. Yeah, I mean, it makes sense to stretch it out up until the election as much as I can. Mike on YouTube says, how about them cowboys? If we talked about you being a Cowboys fan before, do people know that? I think I probably weren't a Cowboys having the private. Don't hate me for it. I do have a geographical connection.

I lived in Texas for a long time. So it's like I'm not just some fair weather fan. I did actually become a fan of theirs until after they already sucked for years and years. So I didn't even get to enjoy any of the success in the 70s, 80s, and 90s that led to people thinking all Cowboys fans are front runners. I merely joined the Saddack Baguagin after it was full of horse shit on the way to the dump. so Amanda W says saw Trey live in Arkansas and he was hilarious go get tickets so thank you very much that was a yeah lowell Arkansas the grove I've never had a bad time in northwest Arkansas and I'm not saying that also I've been to northwest Arkansas to do stand up I'm pretty sure

more than I've been anywhere else other than like the places that I've lived before so yeah it was a good weekend thanks for everybody coming out I did the Luni been in Little Rock couple times. It was a fun town. You saw the blimp. Do you tell the people you saw the good year blimp? Yeah, I saw the good year blimp over Lowell, Arkansas, over Fayetteville, yeah. It prompted a fun text conversation

because he sent the picture like, I wonder where he's going. And they were joking about, Drew was like, it'd be funny to be late for working a blimp. And me being in a fact, chicken nerd looked up where he was supposed to be. And he was supposed to be during the Ohio State game at Ohio. And he was, he had four and a half hours to get from Northwest Arkansas to Ohio

so he was running late to work at a point. Sue Miller says, be a subscriber. Best five bucks a month I spend. Well, that's very sweet of you to say. Yes, that's on Patreon. Thank you, about.

Matt, getting all the plugs in there organically, using comments to re-plug the plugs. Look at producer Matt being a pro. How about that? Eric J. Lofenberg says, I saw Tray in Kansas City, and he was great. I love this, Matt, but you don't have to keep doing this. It's okay.

Thank you all very much for that. You're going to give me the Vipers. Ellen Castile says, now Matt's plugging himself. Matt's on fire. Ellen Castile says that poll about abortion is good news. Hopefully we'll make a difference in November. No, yeah, it is good news.

Matt does good stuff, guys, rural organizing.org. Check them out. It's good news that people have seen beliefs about a very important issue to women's health. It's not good news that we're in this position, but I do hope in this context, I hope, forget all their fuckups in the past. I hope this helped the Democrats hold office going forward so they can fix it. Debbie Lynn Robinson says, Matt's killing it. Yes, he is.

And I've been meaning to tell you, Matt, since you're back there listening, I've gotten some Patreon comments and messages and stuff for people that indicate that you've got a sort of Maris from Frazier or, like, who's another famous character from fiction mark that you never see? You hear about all the time, but you never say like Niles' his old wife, you know. Yeah, Norm's wife on Cheers. Yeah, like that. Producer Matt's one of those to some people.

He's a man of mystery. they find him intriguing. What's he hiding? What's going on back there? The world may never know. We've asked him to do stuff before, like, on camera, be on the show. He won't do it. So you guys are, S-O-L.

You have to keep wondering what kind of guy is. I forget the name of the guy on Home Improvement, who peaked over the time. Wilson, right? Wilson, yeah. You don't get that much from that. No. Not even the top part of his head. I like to think of his Kaiser Sose.

Yeah, there you go. Quietly running. in the background. No one even knows he looks like. Matt's a quiet, shy guy with the voice of an angel. That's true. Yeah. Great hair. Tremendous hair. Good hair. And a big

heart. We're making him so uncomfortable right now. Yeah. That's okay. Well, you got any more for us? Matt, come on. Do you, before we go, this is a fun story from yesterday. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxson

fled his home to avoid being served as a subpoena. Yeah, so he, this process server knocked on his door, and his wife said he was too busy to come to the door, so he got hung out of the driveway, and then she pulled the fucking car around, he basically hopped in the back of the car, and they sped off of this process server chased it. If you don't familiar with Ken Paxton, he's been under indictment for security sprawls since 2015, and also accused by a bunch of people in his own office for taking bribes and fire them for whistleblowing.

So it just really hits for me that the head law enforcement. an official in the state of Texas is an abject fucking criminal who runs from process service. Yeah. I look forward to his Senate campaign or whatever in the future. Yeah. Yeah, he's going to be moving on up. All right. So yeah, even though Matt

kind of helped us do it again already, I still will take this opportunity to remind everybody Treycrowder.com to get some tickets, come and see me. And again, we're going to be adding new dates to that. We're in Oklahoma City Sunday, Riley, North Carolina next weekend. Got some California dates
