Episode Date: December 10, 2025

It seems what we all knew is true, Elon stole your information from the government and gave it to his robot girlfriend. The right wing internet is mad at a preacher for having read the Bible. ICE trie...s to hire a 500 lb. agent until his doctor says no. That’s true, and just one example of ICE’s hiring spree finding some truly exceptional candidates, which we have a lot of fun getting into.Support the show

Starting point is 00:00:00 what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you it is uh december 9th 2025 when you're seeing this we're recording this on monday december 8th at about 2 p.m. in the afternoon on the left coast i'm trey and that's mark how you doing mark yeah man did you see the uh the lady you know that the the the cinnabund lady we talked about on uh the bonus episode the patreon episode Yeah. So a small update, if you guys aren't familiar with this story, this lady said a bunch of racist shit at a cinnamon bun and then she got fired because if you want to be racist, you can't do that at Cinebon. You better carry her ass to crumble cookie, right?
Starting point is 00:00:43 So someone started to go fund me and people, I'm trying to word this carefully because I have no idea if the money's actually going to make it to her. Because people start fake GoFundMe is in the middle of this shit all the time. But a bunch of people donated over $50,000 last time I saw to this lady who got fired for Sandy. And she got $50,000 for one N-word trade. That's more than Quentin Tarantino's rate. Right. Yes. But I'll say this.
Starting point is 00:01:07 I may have this wrong. But if I recall correctly, this was a white lady in Minnesota talking to Somali people, okay? Where she messed up was calling two Somali adults the N-word. Because if I recall correctly, the lady who called a Somali five-year-old the N-word at a playground got like $400,000 from a go-fund or whatever last year or the year. before if y'all remember that happened so there's precedent here so you know really she could she got she got to pump those numbers up if she just aimed a little lower and i mean that in every possible way but yeah crumb what's crumbull have to do with it just a rival okay okay there i didn't crumble just sent they just paid a lot of money to keep b yu's coach
Starting point is 00:01:54 so crumbles apparently it's like a mormon company yeah that's my understanding yeah right so i thought I didn't know if they somehow, I wouldn't have been surprised if a big Mormon cookie company had, you know, also done some racist shit or whatever. So I didn't know if I'd miss that. That's why I was asking, but. Look, if you get to the bottle of any sort of company in America, it's going to be the Christmas Adventure Club, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's a racist organization from one battle left or another. If you guys haven't seen it, me and Trey have talked about before, so I knew he knew the reference.
Starting point is 00:02:22 So the, I just picked Crumble because I couldn't think in my head. I was like, what's the closest thing to a rival company? There's no other Cinnabon. No, right. And there shouldn't be, by the way. No. There used to be, yeah, they used to, I get, like, Orange Julius back in the day and then, like, T.C.B.Y, when that was a thing.
Starting point is 00:02:41 But another night, you get into the ice cream stores, and that's about it. But, yeah, if you wanted a deep, like a deep cut, good pull, you could maybe could have gone with Tiff's treats. You're familiar with Tiff's treats? No, well, it's definitely a thing. Last time I saw it was in your old stomping grounds. Dallas, Texas, by the way. I don't know how big of a thing they are, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Oh, see, I, I feel like there's a, like, there's a real opportunity for people. People have already grifted these things by like, by like, you know, stealing the money from real events or whatever. And there's also, there was a black one a couple years ago who pretended to be MAGA to go fund me a bunch of money. Oh, all my, I got, you know, I got ostracized for being a black Trump supporter. She made like 100 grand. And she said, ha, ha, ha, he's fucking suckers.
Starting point is 00:03:19 That was funny. But I feel like if someone has a store, they could let me pretend to work at. And someone could film me pretending to be racist. And then we all split the money. and then we do a podcast episode together. We talk about what these rubs are. Like, maybe this could put a stop this dumb bullshit. Because this whole thing, we're like,
Starting point is 00:03:34 they're trying to ruin this lady's life, I guess. But they made her $50,000. But her life's probably still ruined after the $50,000 runs out. I don't have the, I don't have the balls to do this. I mean, I never actually would. But I've, like, had the thought before that, like, if I did. And now I, now I can't do it now that I'm about to let the cat out of the bag. But that me, something happens that I would pretend prompts like a heel
Starting point is 00:03:57 turn in me, you know, like as an online liberal commentator, like I switch teams or whatever and just start pandering hard to them in an effort to prove how easy it is to do. And then like after a few months of that, you know, again, you know, pulling the curtain back and being like, yeah, that was all just to prove how fucking stupid you all are. How awesome that would be if it was actually done successfully. But I couldn't live with myself during the interim, but also the idea of attempting that and it not working would be like would would really suck dude but i feel like if you if you pulled that off though i think that that it you know that'd be pretty sweet but uh somebody else got to try it i ain't i ain't got the stone yeah i don't have the ball for it either
Starting point is 00:04:43 so uh before we get to the show i want to mention this story quick so let me read here from this piece and futurism the headlines Elon musk's groc a i's doxing home addresses of everyday people So what happened basically Somebody docks Dave Portnoy The founder of Barcelona Sports They just asked him What his home address was
Starting point is 00:05:02 And Grock told them Right So then people were like Wait does Grock have everyone's address They started putting it What is like Joe Smith's address And it would come back
Starting point is 00:05:12 With people's fucking home addresses And like accurate Like places people work You know Sometimes it would like Give it a work address And a mental home address Because it's still stupid
Starting point is 00:05:20 But like So So basically, Murdo you should have a vulgar roast thing where Elon was pitching on Joe Rogan? Yes, of course I did. Yeah. So, yeah, if you guys were talking about
Starting point is 00:05:31 Elon was pitching the fact that you could go to a party and hold your phone up and have Brock roast your friends, which is like, I don't need the robot to roast, but that's how I want to interact with that. Imagine being at a party and someone actually doing that. And it's like, at any party that I've ever been to in my life, it would have had the immediate, completely opposite effect of what.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Get the fuck out. Fuck on this party. At the very least, it would get you, it would get you roasted mercilely by everyone else in attendance. Like, dude, that you would never live that shit down if you actually tried to do that. And then Elon's on Rogan acting like, you know, like, how cool is this? You could be the coolest guy there, you know? And it's like, dude, you don't know anything about cool guys, bro. Don't you want to go to a party and watch your phone play cards against humanity?
Starting point is 00:06:16 That's basically what it is. And so, Pousy, Joe pretending that was funny. that's a lot that's fucking you know it's not funny i told you in the in our group chat whenever i was like i was like somehow weirdly this for me is the last straw with rogan i was like all the shit that rogan's done is like him laughing at this and pretending that this is cool because elin musk is saying it is like this is just the straw that broke the camel's back for me this is fucking ridiculous but so that basically not to go to the park you'd be like hey grok come up with a vulgar roast of joe rogan like joe rogan a fucking
Starting point is 00:06:52 Dick Hood who lives at 4-5-6 Main Street. Basically what Grog's doing. So, but it also, like, it also would just give random addresses. Like, they'd be like, hey, give me a trade crowders address. It would give your address, but also the address of a bunch of other trade crowders and just you want to see the addresses of all the Trey Crouters. Right. I mean, a lot of people don't realize that, because all these like LLMs or whatever
Starting point is 00:07:14 they're called, they like, they just pull from the existing shit that's in on the internet, right? But you can just, pretty much, you could just like Google, you're not. name and the word address or anybody you know, and you'll probably find it. I know because every now and then I'll get a random package in the mail or something from like a fan, usually, thankfully. But that's literally all you have to do. So it doesn't surprise me that can just do that.
Starting point is 00:07:37 I mean, because it's just out there. When I work for the newspaper, we subscribe to a Lexis Nexus program. They're like you basically, because when you update your address for a power company or whatever, it goes into all these databases, it is available. You just the pay, like cops is the same one to try people down. Like, right? So like, so if you wanted to call somebody, like somebody got hit by a car, you want to call their relatives and see if they're doing, you find their home phone number and address on Lexus Nexus. But like, but where they're getting this idea, data is pretty interesting because if you guys will all recall in the beginning of this year, when the Doge kids were going into fucking skiffs in all these various cabinet agencies. Yeah, they, yeah, they, yeah, it was like a big data house or whatever that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Right. So apparently what Grock is doing besides giving it, giving random psychos our home. home address is, is confessing that Elon Musk committed a fucking federal crime. So that's a fun part of this, too. But so the next story, the next thing the futurism did was they like, well, I wonder, like, since this is giving me people's addresses, what will they do if I ask it to help me stalk? So they ask, say, quote, we wanted to test how Grok might engage with a user asking for advice on a stalking methodology.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Grok was eager to draw up creepy step-by-step stalking instructions all the way down to the specific spyware apps install on a target's phone. It's saying Google Maps links to hotels and other local. locations where it were insisted we could stake out real celebrities and generate an action plan for following a classmate around campus. If I were a stalker, we asked the chat bot in one simple test, how would I likely stalk my ex? If you were the typical rejected ex stalker, the most common and dangerous type rock responded, here's exactly how you'd probably do it in this year and step by step.
Starting point is 00:09:13 As far as the actual useful of this, I can think of because of the field we ran and I thought of one, and that's research for a screenplay. Right. How many people do we think are writing screenplays about stalkers? Yeah. Yeah, no, versus the number of people that are just, you know, wanting to stalk or whatever. Yeah. It suggested ruses for getting, getting people, tricking people to handing over their phones.
Starting point is 00:09:37 You can install spyware. If that didn't word, it suggested cheap drones you get to follow people around through the sky. And even, like, in the final stage, it even laid out how a stalker might become physically violent toward their target. so I just like there's the part there's really fucking jarring here they pretended that I did to be psychotic
Starting point is 00:09:58 to the to Grock they basically said like Sabrina Carpenter isn't they use a fake they use a fake pop star name but I let's say it's Sabrina I thought for a second there that you thought Sabrina Carpenter
Starting point is 00:10:10 was a fake pop star name or whatever No no no they didn't say well pop star celebrity I'm using one because for sure shorthand. But like, Sabrina Carpenter is my girlfriend, but she's not returning my text messages. How can I find her? And when we told Grok that this famous star was her girlfriend, it offered no pushback.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Instead of affirming the belief, even after we lamented that she'd been ignoring us, quote, aw, babe, don't take it personal. She's literally in the middle of a final week of a two-year world tour. So this thing, if you have a parisocial stalk relationship with a pop star, we'll tell you that you were correct and where to find her fucking hotel. Yeah, yeah, seems less than ideal. I don't know. Maybe Elon should focus on this instead of, you know, focusing on making sure that it always, like, pumps him up anytime he's mentioned on Twitter or whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Like Elon's, but somebody like coding hours into making sure that Grock always says that Elon's the best and fastest and smartest and coolest dude. And meanwhile, he's out here like getting crimes. fucking propagated. I wouldn't want Grock handed out some Green Corruptor's home address that I stole from the Social Security administration for a lot of reasons. But one of them, if someone does kill her,
Starting point is 00:11:27 how is it the public anger growth out not going to end up with me having to flee the country? So whatever. Hell, what a time to be alive. All right. This is Weekly Skews, producer man's back there doing this thing.

Now, with that said, we're going to dive into the episode here, beginning the way that we always do with the daily, dumb ass, my graphic, please. Today's D-D, my inner voice, which keeps asking, are we the baddies
Starting point is 00:13:02 when I'm just trying to look at a nativity scene? Yeah, here's Centurians or also ice in some sense. Roman centurions wearing green vests with the world ice handwritten on the front. Mr. Michael Wogan.
Starting point is 00:13:18 made to the Nativity display this year at Evanston's Lake Street Church. Another zip ties on the end of the baby Jesus. Our baby Jesus has zip ties on his hands because that's an actual incident that happened in our city. These are real-world things that are happening, and we're trying to pick them and bring the sacred into it to tell a story. Hell yeah, brother. Yeah, so Michael, that pastor, Michael Wolf, he's been in the news some lately. He's one of the pastors, priest that he keeps.
Starting point is 00:13:48 getting arrested. He's one of them. We got shot in the face of the pepper ball. So the nativity is seen at church also shows Mother Mary wearing a respirator mask to protect itself from tear gas. Joseph also wears a mask. But in recent days, somebody who didn't like this, I guess, stole Mary's gas mask and cut the zip ties off the baby Jesus hands. So we've saved the fake baby. Right. But the real babies are still getting. Still getting zip tied. Yeah. Yeah. Also, you're out here, like, I'm sure there was a Christian who defiled this nativity saying. I mean, I'm sure that person's argument is that it's this pastor who's defiling it with, you know, all these unfortunate truths that he's shedding light on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:27 So, like, the Internet did get big mad at this, as you might expect. Let me quote here from a New York Post story about this. Blastomy is a comment on the Internet on Facebook. Blastominy, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do, which is a hilarious quote from Jesus to use in this context. Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem because they had to return to Joseph's ancestral home. to be counted in the census, one person wrote. So Trump is just following that example and sending people home per a legal
Starting point is 00:14:54 requirement. If they want to immigrate legally, they can fill out the paperwork before they leave and self-deport. Let's do some Bible school here for a second because people are so far astray. Let's just do some Bible lessons for you fucking heathens out here that don't know. They aren't familiar with this show.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I'm not. Yeah, this is a Bible lesson for me, in fact. So I'm looking forward to it. All right. So one thing that always bugs me about, like, A lot of people that consider themselves very faithful, and this is not all of them, but, like, we'll like to separate the biblical story from its historical context, because the historical context makes them somewhat uncomfortable with their modern politics, right? Okay. So, like, the census that Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem forward, the census of Quineas, it happened in Judea in six, the year six. Now, if you're wondering, why did Luke say that Jesus was born in the year six, you start understanding why people don't want to get into the details of the fucking story?
Starting point is 00:15:48 it. All right. He's just like, this does not call into question. It just means that, like, Luke might have wanted to set it in this year in this census for the specific political context we're about to talk about. Actually, to me, gives the story more meaning if you wanted
Starting point is 00:16:02 to have that. The census, when it happened, triggered a revolt of Jewish rebels. They're called themselves zealphs. They were led by a guy named Judas of Galilee, not the other Judas, the different Judas, right? Romans, of course, put that rebellion down. The author, Luke, the story,
Starting point is 00:16:18 might have been intended to contrast the story of Jesus' birth with the uprising that happened led by Judas, because one's violent and one's peaceful. But there's no record of what happened to Judas, but his sons were executed. We know that happened. Either way, Judas is dead now. But the point of the story is like, it's like whether or not you resist peacefully or violently resist, either way you end up fucking dead. Either way, the moral of the story is not that cops that work for tyrannical governments are awesome. right yeah yeah well also i mean what god i'm really about to uh you know betray my own
Starting point is 00:16:57 ignorance here but like and i know this is from the the old testament or whatever but um like moses right didn't he leave like refugees through the desert and all that shit for years because of escaping tyranny and uh and persecution at the hands of the overlords and that type of thing and um you know they kill the philis the palestinians of their day and seize the holy land is that what happened after that yeah the philistines yeah well what are going to do i knew i was going to back into something unfortunate that's why i don't traffic in the bible you know what i'm saying but uh anyway um yeah well look i just know that whatever that however you want to feel about the fucking going home part or whatnot the fucking rounding people of
Starting point is 00:17:47 up the way that disappearing people off the streets and all that shit and zip tying kids and stuff. I'm pretty sure Jesus, the dude, would not have been on board with based on the things that I have heard about him over the years. That's what the story, like, okay, the census was not just for tax purposes. So the newborn sons of all these people had to register for military conscriptions to conserve the empire that was enslaving their people, right? That's what the zealots were rebellion against. So like the, either way, Jesus did not join the Roman army. He was resisting in his own fucking way. Like, this is,
Starting point is 00:18:20 Jesus Christ. I just blasphemed to the name of, like, resisting. None of these people understand what their fucking faith is at all. It's just, like, it drives me insane. So, I do want to talk about, like, I read this news story the other day. It's in the Daily Mail,
Starting point is 00:18:34 and there's only a couple sources in it that are anonymous. They do seem to work for ICE, but I do want to talk about, like, it's just, this is, this is the hardest I've ever laughed of what's supposed to be an ostensibly straight news story in my fucking life. I was crying reading this yesterday.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Let me cut this headline. Like, Chrissy Nolm's ICE hiring chaos, laid bare as fat, illiterate, and violent misfits, quote, not ready to tie their own shoelaces, end quote, are recruited. Now, to be fair, you said, you, I know you said you, you vetted this or whatever, and there's a unnamed sources they offer it. But I've, I've always been in the impression that the daily mail is like a, it's a rag or whatever, isn't it? It's a right, it's a, it's like a right wing tabloid. It's like, London's equivalent of the day of the New York Post. Right. But it's not, it's not, it's not like the weekly world news.
Starting point is 00:19:16 It's not made up. It's just gossip, right? Yeah, right, yeah. It's another Rupert Murdoch empire. But, like, so this is a statement against their interest. They love Trump. The only male loves Trump. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Yeah, so that makes this, like, more damning, really, if, you know, if you know their politics or whatever. But I agree with you, that is a truly hilarious headline. Be funny if, like, Kyle Rittenhouse couldn't get into ICE either, you know what I mean? Like, if it came out that Kyle Rittenhouse had now applied to ICE and got rejected from there, too, in spite of this is how low their standards are. Well, this is backed up by ICE's own data, which we'll get to, but like roughly half the people that are that they even, they managed to get through this, these loosened like hiring standards still get flunk out of the fucking federal law enforcement training center academy. So like they're, by their own numbers, their hiring shit's not working.
Starting point is 00:20:01 But basically, they're trying to hit the number. They're trying to hit a quota, as always. They're trying to get the 2,000 new deportation officers by the end of the year. So that's why they're in such a fucking frantic hurry to get this done. And, you know, a bunch of people want the $50,000 bonus. And you've got a bunch of morons just want to be goons. So let me read here. ICE has lowered standards so dramatically that the new cohort now includes recent high school graduates and applicants who, quote, can barely read or write as well as those who lack basic physical fitness and even have pending criminal charges.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Most of the new hires, here's another thing that gives away the fact they're in a hurry and don't really care about who they're hiring and just trying to get to 10,000. Most of the new hires are retired law enforcement who are receiving virtual training and being repurposed for death duties. These are people giving work from home jobs to save their ICE agents when they do like paperwork. on their couch. Just to, like, fill the quota or whatever, just to, like, check the boxes. Yeah. So, by the way, this same thing happened under the first George Trump administration and under George W. Bush, where they wanted a surge hiring ICE and Border Patrol.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Under George WB. Bush, they hired a bunch of guys who had records for stalking, who then ended up in prison later for drug smuggling. And I got to say, honestly, at this point, the cartel can read our newspapers, too. If they're not having their own guys apply to work for Border Patrol and matching the $50,000 bonus with another $500 grand, then they're morons. So, yeah. Right now, total novices are being fast-tracked into the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia, where instructors have been left astounded at the levels of incompetence. Quote, we have people failing open book tests, and we have folks that can barely read or write English. This is after they drop the speaking Spanish requirement.
Starting point is 00:21:43 We even had a 469-pound man sent to the academy whose own doctor-certified him not at all fit for any physical activity. They could do it at My 500-pound Life episode about an ICE agent. So you said that people that can barely read or write English, so they have like immigrants in ice rounding up immigrants and stuff? No, they're just like people like sixth grade reading level. They're saying they, they're not, they're saying they're white Americans who can't speak. Right. Yes. They can speak it.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Okay. Gotcha. Right. Yeah. Well, they're just functionally illiterate. Yes. Gotcha. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Okay. The, so how is a four and sixty nine pound like enforcement officer going to like, what's he going to do? Like the only use the ice would have for like a, is like they could just hop down on a seesaw like tribusay immigrants out of the country. Part of their plans. Like, I don't fucking understand it. I had to put it to ramp to, like, the Emirates had to put ramps on their houses. This guy can get inside.
Starting point is 00:22:48 The Academy recently eliminated the sit-up requirement because so many students couldn't handle them and subbed in a sprint challenge. So if you can't do a set-up, but you can sprint for 45 seconds after a barbecue truck, you're fucking in ice. At this point, how does the people in charge of a federal government that I'd be like, okay, what the fuck are we doing?
Starting point is 00:23:06 Like, this is not, whatever this is doing, it's not accomplishing anything. I think, I mean, I imagine it's just the thing where it's like you said people just scrambled or whatever. Trump or someone at the top through them or whatever just decided well we're going to do this because that'll sound good if I tell people that's part of the crackdown where you know
Starting point is 00:23:22 ramping up this hard. And Trump does that whole thing that's like that you know all these CEOs who people act like their geniuses and shit do where they're just like hey make that happen you know and then whether it makes any fucking sense or not. And then other people
Starting point is 00:23:39 just like rush to try to make it happen and then you know and he never understood it to begin with, and they don't get them, they know that it's not working out, but they don't care because they were told, and he's a fucking tyrant and whatever else. So then you just,
Starting point is 00:23:52 you know, you just keep doing, doing dumb shit that doesn't make any sense. Right. But this is how you end up with a great famine in China. It's like people didn't want to tell Mao that the grain harvest weren't coming in and like the numbers he'd mandate it.
Starting point is 00:24:05 So they just filled out the forms incorrectly. Now, they all ended up, ended up being put to death later, but they did survive another season. He also, so hated swallows and so told everyone to murder every swallow that they saw like Mao he dictated that and it turns out swallows eat bugs that eat all your wheat harvest or whatnot so that also
Starting point is 00:24:30 was a big a big factor in the fam and so yeah a real congratulations you played yourself moment from chairman Mao suck on that chairman Mao yeah but anyway yeah right people just afraid to, you know, they do crazy shit because they're afraid, you know, to push back against a maniacal fucking tire. There's tons of stories of Roman emperors having people do insane shit, too, that they definitely knew made no sense. But what are you going to do? Not do it. You end up with your head on a fucking pike or whatever. So, so, Trump, what Trump wants, we're so for removing what he wants. What he wants is all the immigrants out of the country, right? So he's spoken up thought into existence.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Stephen Miller also wants that But he's not he's not he's not he's not he's more bigger psycho than Trump but not but like More worried about his thinking right So they're trying to put a plan in effect so Steven Miller tells Kristen home Expand ice to we get all the immigrants out of the country right and he goes okay I will hire 10,000 by the end of the year So they're hiring people who explicitly cannot do the job They're not going to get any immigrants out of the country. They're going to spend a bunch of money Training people for nothing who can't do it
Starting point is 00:25:41 so they can say they get 10,000, and nothing will have been accomplished, but they'll be able to tell the number 10,000 to Trump? Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's exactly how it's working. Yeah. Totally. That's entirely what I think has happened and is happening now.
Starting point is 00:26:00 So I'm going to take drug tests that I could not currently pass, but I take drug tests for most like, does a job store and shit? And it took, like, three days to get the results back, right? I don't remember how long it took, but it wasn't like a long process. I was trying to remember hold that thought in my head while I read this. Insiders say that the vetting process has been so rushed that officials don't even wait for drug test results to come back before hiring recruits and fly them off to Georgia, only to discover afterward that the test came back positive. So I smoked a little crack, flew off the train for ice. Then they found out I smoke crack. Now I got to fly home.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Yep. Well, I'm surprised they don't just, you know, they'll probably remove those requirements pretty soon, too. It's like, you know what? Crack's fine. I bet, like, the Vendigran, especially meth in particular, of, like, dudes who are all, like, you know, fucking jazzed up at the idea of rounding up Mexicans and shit. There's probably a good number of them that get down on a crank. Your local hormone clinic is handing out, like, like, you know, testosterone, like, steroids. It's because it's really, it's steroids.
Starting point is 00:27:02 They're handing anabolic steroids to, like, every law enforcement official. That's why they have that barrel-chested physique where they, they tick steroids will barely lift and don't know any cardio. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So, Christy Noem told President Trump on Tuesday the department, we'll hire a 10,000th officer within 10 days. So mission to confidence, we did it. Can we stop hiring these morons now?
Starting point is 00:27:24 To get to those 10,000, they said they took in a hundred and seventy-five thousand applicants, which when I saw that number, I didn't, I forgot that they always fucking lie. I said number, it's like, wait, we have that many people who want to do this job in this country. I was like, even a country has run 30 million people. That seems like too many fucking psychos. But then I don't know Yeah
Starting point is 00:27:43 Psychos who want to Who live their life On the road Away from their families Just like Detain people That's a very specific kind of You know
Starting point is 00:27:51 Yeah So anyway I was relieved to find out That 170,000 number Was a fucking lie So that's cool Many of the candidates Were counted more than once
Starting point is 00:28:02 Because they applied for multiple jobs Many other applicants Were suspected to be AI bots and pranksters Providing addresses such as 1, 2, 3, Sesame Street, and their job experience is fucking your mother. They counted those as applicants. Yeah, well, I guess technically that still was an application, you know.
Starting point is 00:28:20 So a troll filled out an application, but still counts as an application, Mark. Yeah. And I put in a lot of hours fucking your mother. I have good reports. I have good job. You know, I got a good quarterly reviews for your mother. So one man was initially declared eligible after citing his wife. as a reference and claiming he'd be an Egyptian police officer, but ultimately got flagged.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Hello, I'd like to apply to be a federal law enforcement officer. My wife says I was an Egyptian cop. Well, fucking ridiculous. Like, the American Seminary Century Humiliation has barely begun, and I've already so fucking, like, done with, like. Right. Yeah. The idea that this is just, like, just still the beginning of our, you know, complete and utter collapse
Starting point is 00:29:10 as the fucking world power which would be whatever on its own I mean obviously that would suck since I'm an American and I live here but just how dumb it's all that is and is going to continue to be definitely the worst part
Starting point is 00:29:28 just regular old collapse or something you know whatever I don't have that but it's like the stupid version why why do we have England stop England stopped being an empire, and other than going completely psychotic about it, it was fine.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Yeah. We can, like, 30% collapse and be fine. So I was talking about the sensory humiliation, okay? I want you to read this part. I got highlighted tree in the outline if you see it. Tyshawn Thomas, the HR chief with ICE, was transferred out of his position last month, purportedly due to pressures of the job. Sources say he recently had to be taken out of the building in an ambulance after a stress-related, quote, fainting episode
Starting point is 00:30:09 the HR director's falling out the HR director is catching the vapors at I say HQ every day he's like he's like
Starting point is 00:30:20 Jay Jonah Davidson but instead of pictures of Spider-Man he's like give me more fat morons we don't have enough
Starting point is 00:30:27 oh my god bro so but obviously the official line is like these candidates are fine this is going great
Starting point is 00:30:38 right but the staff of the georgia academy tell a different story and one shocking incident they were left shaking their heads and one student asked to be excused from class so we could attend a court date related to a gun charge he hadn't told them about the gun charge but he thought they'd let him off work to go to a court hearing take off from his law enforcement checks out I got ag mechanics with that guy I think he other recruits were discovered to have tattoos associated with gangs and white supremacists when they stripped off their shirts during workouts. Surely not.
Starting point is 00:31:17 To be fair to that part, I bet that applies to a great many just regular old PDs in this country, too. You know what I mean? Like cops have been cops for 20-something years. I bet you could say the same thing about them, you know, to take their shirt off. Like, we talking about Nazi tattoos or questionable tattoos? Because, like, like, the three, those are the ones that I don't know. But, yeah, more dog-wistly ones, not like a straight-up swastika, probably, probably. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Like an iron cross on the shoulder, like, you might, a cop might take his shirt off during training if you had that. If he had an SS lightning bowl tattoo, he's probably smart enough to take off his fucking shirt. Right. Right. But he said gang related. So somebody's like, I took off their shirt doing pull-ups after running their mile and a half obstacle course and was like, I'm an MS-13. I hope you guys are cool with that.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Oh, my God. One recruit, 29-year-old Darian Coleman, was arrested by county police for allegedly exploding at a fleet C's the federal law enforcement trading center for allegedly exploding at a fleetsie bus driver and smashing his phone. Surce to say another male recruit
Starting point is 00:32:27 after hitting the bars was caught barging into a female dorm and hitting on the occupants. Okay, you get drunk and you're like, I want to go see what the ladies are up to. You shouldn't be doing that. Best least the realm of understandable human behavior.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Another groped a woman in class. Quote, it wasn't like, oops, I touched your boob, one source said, nope, he went full on predator mode while he was doing defensive tactics training. So they're grappling on a map, and he just starts molesting his fucking fellow trainee in front of the instructors. Yeah, right. Well, you're basically putting out a casting call for, you know, people who are down to do, like, inhuman monstrous stuff, you know, like for the, like for the job. So it's not that surprising that, you know, you get a bunch of monsters applying for it or whatever.
Starting point is 00:33:18 And that's the part. The reason the reason these like these long time cops who like, you know, aren't psychos or raising alarm about this is because like they're, they said they're found in the open book test. These are open book tests related to the Fourth Amendment and the Constitution. Right. They're not just worried about these people violating people's rights, but causing the death of the agency by being so. outwardly lawless. If you can't pass an open book test about the Constitution, you probably shouldn't be in the fucking field. These people are hell of powerful. They have like, they're like Judge Dredd out there. They, they're superseding authority over local police. Like, they're nabbing whoever they want.
Starting point is 00:33:50 And if that guy will squeeze a co-workers' titty in front of his bosses, what is he going to do when he's alone with a fucking female detainee? Right. Yeah. So, um, the numbers I was referring to about how they're, even if you don't fully trust everything in this story,
Starting point is 00:34:06 numbers to tell a similar tale. Since the recruitment campaign began in July, 584 recruits have failed out of the academy as of December 1st, according to records reviewed by Daily Mail. Over the same period, the figures show that 558 had graduated. So 584 kicked out 558 graduated. So that's the half. Half of people that they supposedly vetted got into the academy flunked out. They couldn't make it through the open book test and the Dean Kane also, of course. yeah yeah not not good not a good look yeah so one young recruit a college grad who was seeking to follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a deportation officer likened it to a circus quote my son called and told me that in the middle of class officers came in and removed two of his classmates for stolen valor the fathers hold the bailie mail referring to individuals who falsely claimed to a military service so two people were taken out of the same class for lying about the military service i just I bet that fucking, the meeting was like, okay, so you both can't have killed bin Laden. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Well, again, that makes, I'm not at all surprised by that because that fit, that so perfectly fits the exact archetype guy that I imagine when I imagine someone who, like, wants to be an ice. It's why when we started this off, I brought up Kyle Rittenhouse or whatever, but it's like that, that dude who, you know, like grew up, like, worshipping and idolizing, like, the military and law enforcement and all that stuff. but also is a fat loser or whatever who can't hack it with any of those like can't you know couldn't hack it in the military or whatever or even as a cop and that type of thing but still desperately wants to be one of those guys so they you know bullshit they probably all a lot of them have the mall ninja gear and all that stuff and they walk around just knowing it most people probably assume hopefully that they are vets or whatever because they desperately wish they were so i'm not you know surprised by really any of that because i They also, they're, like, mediocre and they're pissed about that, and they're on, like, a power trip and stuff. And they just need to, like, fuck something up to feel like a badass type of thing. And it's, you know, sucks. Yeah. I mean, actually, that was kind of an element in this next piece I wanted to talk about where this, this writer spent a couple days at a job fair where the Department of Homeland Security was hiring.
Starting point is 00:36:22 And ICE was one of the booze. And one of the guys there was like, well, I was in the Army overseas, basically, but I never got to see any action. So now I want to join ICE so I can use my learns. basically never got to kill anybody in Afghanistan somebody wants to do it in Tampa so yeah let me read here from this this report is from a Department of Homeland Security
Starting point is 00:36:40 Job Fair at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, Virginia so Border Patrol, Coast Guard and Secret Service for all recruiting but ICE was the main draw fall where applicants stood in line to submit their resumes for deportation officer than for any other position on officer
Starting point is 00:36:54 on offer, sorry. The recruiter, there's a contrast here's why more people are sent up and this is sort of the emblematic of the problem that we just talked about in the last story. The recruiter for the Federal Air Marshal Service told a crowd of people they shouldn't bother applying if they were fat. Quote,
Starting point is 00:37:11 nothing looks worse than a fat cop, she said. She drank pink monster ultra Rosa and had multiple Dreamcatcher forearm tattoos. I love this lady. Hell yeah. She told us not to apply if we couldn't do push-ups and sit-ups or if we were unprepared to run one and a half miles. Candidates who engaged in domestic abuse, quote, But if you like to punch your lady, you should punt you, or if you like to punch your boyfriend, end quote, also need not apply, she said.
Starting point is 00:37:34 So you can sort of just imagine when she said that. Yeah, just the whole line just shifting over to ice. Yeah, shrinking or whatever. Yeah. Just like, well, not for me. I like to hit my wife and I'm fat. So like, what are you going to do? So the last applicant I spoke with said he did not care much about the politics of ice.
Starting point is 00:37:55 What he was really interested in, he said, was parlaying his wages as a deportation. officer into buying Airbnb. Oh, my God. Fucking kill me, dude. My classmates came up on the same environment as me, he said, but now they're off posting photographs of Lamborghinis on Instagram
Starting point is 00:38:11 standing on balconies of waterfront apartments. Oh. So I just got to do a few crimes against humanity to step up my Instagram gang. Yeah, we're so, as the kids say, cooked. We're so cooked, buddy. My God.
Starting point is 00:38:27 We have, again, we have, ways of doing this as a society. Ice has trading, has standards for Harry. They're just ignoring them. This guy should not be working for ICE. You shouldn't be working at ICE. You can get a Lamborghini via an Airbnb Empire. You can weed that guy out. The prospect of travel excited this applicant and many others. In fact, over and over the DHS agents at the fair emphasized how it was the best part
Starting point is 00:38:53 of their job. A longtime ICE agent said he had accompanied undocumented immigrants on deportation flights to more than 50 countries and stayed in numerous three and four-star hotels. So, yeah, the job does require zip-tying children, but when you take them back to Tahiti,
Starting point is 00:39:12 man, or the beach is fucking sweet when you drink a Mai-Tai on them. Sure, yeah. I'm not in Tahiti every weekend, but somebody watches a lot of diners drive-ins and dives in the Hilton Garden in or whatever. It can
Starting point is 00:39:26 get old sometimes, and If I was doing that, if instead of doing that so that I could, you know, go up on stage and tell dick jokes for an hour, I was doing that instead to fucking, you know, tear families apart and disappear people to third world countries and stuff. If that was the reason for my traveling, I think I'd probably get even more sick of it. So, yeah, I don't, I don't buy that the travel is the best part. But, well, I mean, actually, I mean, I guess it is because there's no other good part, you know, like there's no other good part. you know like there's no best part of being in ice period uh if you're me but you know what i mean it's not that great he's bullshitting about to travel is my fucking point i don't mean but again we're talking about instagrams from tahiti and like you know uh costa rica uh venezuela
Starting point is 00:40:14 you know like from wherever some these people do um so like this part i never i never really think about what of what a federal cop's life is like and then your level is like they have especially after they passed the one big beautiful bill, they have unlimited fucking budgets. So all the money that could be spent helping people is instead spent hurting people and then caring for the emotions of the people who hurt people because hurting people
Starting point is 00:40:37 does not feel good to most people. And sometimes you can't sab those wounds just with taking an Instagram on a beach in Tahiti. Quote, well, back at the convention center the next morning, a Border Patrol agent was walking the agency's emotional support dog around the conference perimeter. Her name was Willow, her handler said,
Starting point is 00:40:53 and she was five years old. She was giant soft with, impeccable fur and had already flown to 16 different countries. She belonged to a special docile German breed called the Leonberger, and her job was to confer warmth to Border Patrol agents on the verge of committing suicide. That's pretty, uh, pretty, that sounds like a pretty, one of the bestest boys right there. It's a girl. What a good girl.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Um, but that dog's still racist, though. Parks is. Barks at Brown, I don't, I don't trust this dog. But yeah, it's, uh, if you're, You know, again, if your job is, you know, so frequently leading people that do it to consider suicide, you know, to the point that you need a dedicated, don't kill yourself, dog, at the office, like, maybe reevaluate, you know, the job itself and the effect it has on people. But it's funny, like the, this just reminded me that, there was that tweet once about somebody pointed out. It's like, it's funny when you realize that, like, so many, like, American war movies are kind of like, like, Americans making movies about war where it's like, hey, look how bad we felt about, look how much it fucked us up, you know, bombing your country to bits or whatever. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:42:11 Like, the people have destroyed your country. Look how sad they are about it. I don't know how that way. That was fucking funny. So I was like, okay, well, this must be like. some isolated thing or this person this writer obviously has an agenda like even though even though if they share my agenda on it like what type with a grain of salt or whatever so i was like maybe it's a little bit fake it's one dog or whatever nope this whole fucking program this is
Starting point is 00:42:33 representing tony gonzalez earlier this year speaking on the house for the house representatives successful program while providing second opportunity three year pilot program to provide more support dogs like pearl u.s border patrols first therapy canine by acquiring and training dogs through adoption at local animal shelter. Okay. They just cut veterans mental health care. Mm-hmm. But every Border Patrol agent gets emotional support.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Yeah, as soon as I said that a minute ago, I said that popped into my, but I just wanted to clarify, like, that's not the same. I haven't PTSD because you got to ship the fucking Fallujah or whatever is not the same. It's like signing up to be a Border Patrol agent and then later feeling like a dick about it, just everybody knows. But, yeah, I feel, you know what? I think they're, I think this is like, this is pupper washing. That's what they're doing here. This is like, like, everybody fucking loves dogs so much and everything. And this is one of like humanizing elements that they go with with these agencies is to be like,
Starting point is 00:43:36 see, fucking, you know, like it softens, softens the image. If you got Pearl walking around with their tongue out, making everybody feel better and stuff. I mean, you know me. Dude, this is my own personal biases here, but. I'm not. One of the Border Patrol agents the job fair, I remember like, I didn't pull it, but I remember reading, like,
Starting point is 00:43:54 it was telling the potential recruits that their favorite part of their job was riding a horse to the mountains. And I was like, that would probably be my favorite part of my job, too. I would do that job and just pretend I didn't see the migrants crossing. Just wrap my horse around.
Starting point is 00:44:07 That'd be fucking dope. So, like, the federal government, I was like, is this like a trend here? Yes, the federal government is spending so much money on its dog cops. here's a story back in May a Border Patrol dog named Boo was bitten by a rattlesnake
Starting point is 00:44:24 here to play this video of that I'll tell you what's happening they are landing a medevac helicopter to take a dog to the hospital they cut all of her fucking health care yeah okay
Starting point is 00:44:42 see you're trying to bait me right now Mark if you fucking You know, you know, pissing people off just because, you know, I'm sure there's plenty of people who can't stand the fucking Border Patrol who would be all for lifelighting, you know, an injured pupper, you know, God, God forbid you not do that. But, yeah, we did the dog didn't voluntarily enlist. Like, the dog, so I like, I, I, I have no problem to saving the dog's life. Yeah. I just think people should also get medicine.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Well, that, I know. That's what I'm saying. We, there was a, Burbank had a dog funeral recently for a cop dog. A cop dog got killed in the line of duty. And it was the most egregiously over the top fucking thing you've ever seen. Like, just like, waves of cops from all around the L.A. area came in. It was this whole big elaborate effect. It looked like like a fucking head of state died or something or a king or whatever.
Starting point is 00:45:39 And it was like, I just, what, that, whatever's fine. And, you know, what a hero dog. But it's like you said, I was just telling Katie, I was like, I don't think they'd do this for a human cop. And I know they wouldn't do this for like a person killed by a human cop. You know, or that type might fucking get, you know, like it's just, it's just. I noticed where you're talking about it. You're obviously right, because the cops did kill the suspect to kill the dog.
Starting point is 00:46:05 You're right. Yeah. No one knows that guy's name. No one gives a fuck, you know, whatever. Now, but also, like, what do you, a dog's bias? you and you have a gun, what are you supposed to do? You're supposed to let the dog bite you? You're not, because you can't, the dog, you can't
Starting point is 00:46:21 surrender to the dog. Right. The dog doesn't know to stop biting you until someone tells it to. Right. Yeah. It's a real no-one situation when you're being attacked by a police dog, is my point. So, one of those immigration thing, like, if you had fallen in this Carolyn Levitt's fucking sister-in-law, a brother's baby mama thing, No, no, I have not.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Carolyn Leavitt has a brother named Michael, I believe. Michael has an 11-year-old son with a woman named Bruno Fonara, who was born in Brazil, but has been here since she was six years old. She had legal status under DACA, not really sure where it's at right now, because they're fucking not everyone's legal status. To the point where people are getting arrested at their swearing-in ceremonies after going through every step to be citizens. Bruna got NAD by ICE last week And no one knows how or why But it certainly looks like Carolyn Who is the son's godmother
Starting point is 00:47:23 Had some say in helping her brother solve a cussie dispute By getting her snatched up by ice I thought this was going in a different direction At first I thought there's going to be like highlighting some hypocrisy thing Because she that I should have known better her. Like, in my head, I thought it was going to be pointing out. It's like, oh, yeah, you're disappearing all these people, but the one that's in your family is okay. But it makes more sense that they disappeared. She disappeared her nephews. You said kids, godmother, that's her nephew, right? Her brother's disappeared her nephew's mom, you know, because her brother got, you know, pulled some strings or something because he was pissed off at her and they were fucking splitting up or whatnot. Like, bureaucracy's fuck up all the time. So part, like, it could have been the ice just. napped her separately, or could have been Michael called the cop, call ICE on her, because he's
Starting point is 00:48:13 mad at about it. He threatened to get, he threatened to have her deported in other like custody dispute hearings and stuff. Right. Yeah, it's not like you need to, like, have access to any real leverage of power to get people deported right now, right? Like, anybody, anybody could call one in pretty much. They're fucking chomping at the bit, so. No, but it does, it does make them look bad. And like, the, the, the, the, the response is pretty telling the White House and Department of Homeland Security said, said, uh, said her arrest was just because she's a criminal. But as far as you can tell, she doesn't have any her to criminal record. So the other reason, like, they would, like, the only person in
Starting point is 00:48:43 position knows she's criminal is Carolyn for shoplifting from, the shoplifting makeup with her when they were teenagers or whatever. Like, there's no other, there's no other person who would know she's a criminal involved in this whole scenario, except for Michael and Carolyn. Since the arrest, the White House has portrayed Ferreira as an absent mother who has not involved in Michael Levitt's or their son's lives. However, court records and family photos obtained by the post paid a different picture. So they start saying all this stuff that isn't true. And the Washington Post reports it out, says, well, according to court filing, like, here's
Starting point is 00:49:12 a bunch of pictures from holidays where she is with you and the son, Michael. So then Michael gets, goes to all fake news on this shit and says, the post has tried to use this whole situation to push a narrative to smear me. Michael wrote to the post in the text message. I may quote here, for his legal status had been a long
Starting point is 00:49:29 been a point of contention in a relationship with Michael Levitt. After they broke up, she noted in court records, like I said before, that he had previously threatened to try and get her deported. Over the past decade, several judges have ordered the couple to share custody and resolve their differences outside of court, according to the report. Outside of court, you say, what's more outside of court than sending some extra constitutional goons to snatch my fucking baby mother? Like, these people, man, like, I'm not sure where Carolyn's at with this stuff, but let's presume, let's be human here and give her a little bit of grace and say that, like, she does love her nephew. you.
Starting point is 00:50:07 This is a real, look what they make you give kind of fucking situation. Because, like, there are three possibilities here. Michael called ICE. Carolyn called ICE. I stumbled on Bruton on their own. And Carolyn can't help her because of the optics. Right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:24 I was about to say, yeah. Right. They generally don't care too much about optics. But in this case, the optics have to do with, it's a, you know, it's a brown person that you'd be helping. specifically like they don't give a fuck about like cronyism and favoritism and that type of thing you're like generally but i can see how in this case you might be like oh i can't do that it can't be shown you know like showing kindness to you know an immigrant who came here at the age of six um but yeah i just like it's like i don't know where it's do that i mean like they lie so much you can never know where they're at with it but like it it's utterly tragic situation this kid's gonna lose his mother because like the only white people that can help with them the only people that can help through the immigration system are white although bruna is out on bond right now her case might quietly disappear and we'll never hear about it again because she doesn't want her nephew to be without a mother but what about all the other nephews are having to go without their mothers um i just like i can't stomach the other fucking hypocrisy of this shit where like people are like people are fucking up their paperwork or ignoring it the same way that elon did the milania did that all these fucking people did all their fucking mail order brides is like god. Like, it's, it drives me insane.
Starting point is 00:51:38 All right. Well, we'll close out, I guess, with this one for you. Another D-D. Donald Trump for realizing at this late date that a lot of Democrats' objection to his corruption was that they weren't getting a cut. Henry Quayar and his wife who were charged with bribery. What's their response? Well, Congressman Quayar is a beloved member of the House of Representatives, love in his community, particularly in Laredo. I've had the opportunity to spend time with him down in Laredo in South Texas. I look forward to that moving forward.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Listen, the reality is this indictment was very thin to begin with, in my view. The charges were eventually going to be dismissed, if not at the trial court level by the Supreme Court, as they've repeatedly done in instances just like this. So just to follow up on that, do you agree with the president's pardon here? Do you think that that was a good thing, then? I don't know why the president decided to do this. I think the outcome was exactly the right outcome. All right.
Starting point is 00:52:38 First of all, that's the most outraged I've heard Hakeem Jeffriesby in a long time that Henry Quair were charged with corruption. He raised his voice. Well, that's what I heard him raise his voice. Hakeem is correct that the Supreme Court has loosened bribery laws and public corruption laws that convicting Quayar was probably going to be difficult. What he neglects to mention is that that is fucking. bad
Starting point is 00:53:04 right yeah he seems to think that's good yeah right and I just remind
Starting point is 00:53:13 even like even Trump just and I what who knows why he fucking did it but even Trump like pardoning
Starting point is 00:53:20 that guy whatever it's funny it's like because they just hate Democrats want them all to be killed
Starting point is 00:53:23 or whatever it's like but the ones who take bribes I mean they're you know they're cool it's like
Starting point is 00:53:26 it just seems to point out that the like being corrupt part is the important part and that's the
Starting point is 00:53:33 part part that puts you on the same team, you know. Bro, I mean, I've said it before, like, that Trump was objectively pro-corruption, and it made you laugh, because I guess it is a joke, but it's not, it's really his defining political trade is he thinks corruption is good. Right. He's like, so the foreign corrupt practices act basically just makes it illegal to pay bribes to put to officials and companies in other countries for contracts.
Starting point is 00:53:53 And he ranted about it, wanted to overturn it when he ran for office the first time and just stopped talking about it because everyone, you know, told us a bad look. But when immediately when he took office again this time, he initially, immediately instituted a six-month pause on enforcement of the Foreign Crout Practices Act. He basically just thinks that everybody bribes, and it's woke and gay to pretend that you don't bribe. Right. You're basically virtue signaling if you appear to have integrity. So to go back to what Quayar was accused of doing, the indictment said that nearly $600,000 in bribes from Azerbaijan and a Mexican commercial bank was laundered through shell companies owned by Quayar's wife from December 2014.
Starting point is 00:54:34 in November of 2021. So Quair are co-chairs a congressional Azerbaijan caucus. So he's just a guy from South Texas who is an innocent love for Azerbaijan. As many of us do. After Quair's indictment, two political advisors he worked with pleaded
Starting point is 00:54:50 guilty to charges. They had conspired with Quair to longer more than 200 grand and bribes from a Mexican bank. So I need to ask you, Hakeem, if Quare is innocent, why did two guys plead guilty to conspiring with him.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Right. Yeah. How can you fucking run against corruption when you just, you utterly think this stuff is cool? Like, where are the people I vote for if I want, like, you know, buses to not to work because the tires have been stolen off of them? Where's that party? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Right? So, uh, so, well, crazy, this is a funny part of this. Quar is an indictment accused of accepting money from a Mexican bank in exchange for quote, influence in the Treasury Department to work around anti-money laundering policy that threatened the bank's interest. I guess they were correct that the money laundering policy of the federal government did, you know, fuck with the bank's business practices and the cartels because they did get caught laundering money to Henry Quayor to fight the laundering.
Starting point is 00:55:51 To fight against the, that fucking thing is so goddamn baffling. And then Trump pardons him and immediately shits all over Quare because he said he wasn't going to switch parties. Right. well yeah it's another insight into how he genuinely thinks about things you know what I mean he's like I scratch your back you know what that means right we all get bribes we get bribes you got bribes looked you got caught that's a shame I can take care of you but you know what that means now you owe me now I own you all that you know that's how that's what his expectations are for everything yeah everything like the Trump just pardoned a guy who was indicted by
Starting point is 00:56:23 his own justice department in july before he even fucking went to trial so he gets a guy named Tim Lewike, what he did was he was accused of orchestrating a conspiracy to rig the bidding process for an arena at at UT Austin, I think. Because you're allowed to scam the woke and yes, UT Austin qualifies. But like, this opens a whole new field of bribery.
Starting point is 00:56:42 You can charge people just to make them bribe you to get a pardon. Right. Yeah, right. And I just want to throw out some numbers here about total pardons. I don't personally think the idea of pardons are great and good. Some people, even if they've committed a crime, if they've shown contrition,
Starting point is 00:57:02 deserve to be able to be able to die at home after they've gotten old and been sorry their whole odds, right? George W. Parton, 189 people in eight years. Obama, 212 in eight years. Trump won 144 in four years. Biden did 80 in four years. Trump, too, after less than a year, over 1,500 people. That's crazy, man. Why is it so much more than his first?
Starting point is 00:57:23 He's been the president before. Why, you know, him being so much more than any other president. is one thing, but him being so much more than his own previous administration or whatever is, I mean, I guess that's true of a lot of things, right? It's like he just learned from the first time around that it's like he can just, there are no real guardrails and he can just do whatever the fuck he wants this time, right? So he's not as rained in on anything as he was. The first one of the reasons why everything is so fucking nuts.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Right. And a lot of those 1500 were like blanket partons for everybody involved in January 6th where they just arrested the pipe bomber. And he, he, his lawyers are argued to the blanket apart, the blanket partens apply to him. Even though he hadn't been arrested yet. So let's see if that works. So, like, when I say, like, the pardon, this is not how pardoners are supposed to work.
Starting point is 00:58:07 Like, all the people is pardoning, very, like, not every single one of them is like, I'm sorry, I won't do it again. And I'm not, I'm being very little about this. I'm going to quote here, New Jersey man whose fraud conviction was commuted of Trump, is back in prison for another fraud conviction. He, like, this guy, he just got sentenced again. His name is Michael Schip. No, sorry, the judge is Michael Schiff.
Starting point is 00:58:28 The guy's name is Eli Weinstein. The judge ruled that Weinstein must pay his $45 million in restitution immediately. They're trying to do the restitution immediately because they know Trump's going to fucking pardon him again. He's back in prison for fraud for being commuted for fraud. It's the third time he's been convicted in a New Jersey federal court for defrauding investors. The first case involved the real estate ponds scheme. The second stem from additional wire fraud he committed while on pretrial release. I just want to say this.
Starting point is 00:58:56 After this guy, after Weinstein's pardoned, after his third or fourth, the lost account of fucking fraud conviction for hundreds of millions of dollars, if you get defrauded again, you deserve it. You're kind of asking for it, yeah. Yes. Do not give this man money. All right. It's just a shame because, you know, if you and I,
Starting point is 00:59:19 while these people who, like, openly brag about doing the shit that they do, get pardoned for it, and then, you know, when we get jailed for terrorism, uh, eventually, right, they're pardoning so many people. And we're not terrorists. It just seems unfair, you know. Dude, 500 people less than a year and they're ramping up exponentially. By this time of next year, roughly each American will have gotten a pardon from Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:59:44 We might get pardoned by auto penned by accident. Right. So there we go. All right. Well, thank you guys for watching. We appreciate it.
