Starting point is 00:00:00 what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you this particular one is october 7th which just occurred to me you know it's just it's just it just happens to be that day it's october 7th 2025 as you guys are watching this we're recording this though from 106 monday october 6 at 1.30 p.m. on the left coast is weekly skews i'm trey that's mark what's up mark that man i'm a little flustered i just uh had a semi accosting while i was walking my dog i uh uh
Starting point is 00:00:38 heading around a corner this guy zooms around a corner dude with a ponytail on a skateboard being pulled by a large dog my dog my arch nemesis right there my dog dogs don't like skateboarders i don't know if you're aware of that but like so they don't like something so she barks at the skateboarder and the guy goes control your dog as if like like she and I'm then he but he's I was like wait what I have earbuds in
Starting point is 00:01:03 and he's like gone to flash on his like Austin Rickshaw set up yeah and I was like an Austin Rickshaw I don't know what to call it but like it's like you've been pulled by you got a sled dog a fucking
Starting point is 00:01:19 skateboard the pony tail is just like chef's kiss man I don't know about that. Oh it sets it off yeah for sure that either that or a man bun would have also been acceptable but yeah ponytail's yeah You know, it's the classic. And he really needed a Foo Man shoe to complete the whole thing, but he had most of it there. Did you get anything?
Starting point is 00:01:37 By the time you processed it, he had zoned on by along his merry way, so there was no more to it. You didn't yell after him or nothing? No, I mean, boy, I was like, I don't know, man. Do you come to, you have these interactions where it's like, I don't know what to make of it. I don't know what's going through his head. Maybe he's having a bad day. I'm choosing not to have a bad day. He can go on about whatever he's doing.
Starting point is 00:01:57 I don't know. It's just very, very weird. The inverse that I used to tell on stage for a little while there, which is a true story. I bumped into a guy. I was taking my trash bins out in my old house, and my Jeep was walking down the driveway beside my Jeep, and it was blocking the other end of the sidewalk.
Starting point is 00:02:21 So when I got to the end of it, I bumped into a dude who was walking. He didn't have a skateboard. He was walking a big, dog. It was like a Great Dane, literally. Massive dog. And I didn't know they were there, they didn't know I were there. I was there up against everybody of earbuds in or whatever. I bump into
Starting point is 00:02:35 her and that dog just starts losing it shit. Like, you know, barking, very, you know, just freaks out immediately. And the dude, while holding him back or whatever, as, you know, I cower in fear, the guy starts yelling at me, well, whoa, whoa, you startled him, you know, and I was like, oh, did I?
Starting point is 00:02:53 My bad, did I upset the baby? That's my fault. Excuse me. me, sorry for, you know, not getting your permission before walking down my own fucking driveway. But yeah, it was just immediately my fault. Uh, I almost got mauled to death by Scooby. Don't. But, uh, anyway.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Yeah, you'll have those situations. I want to tell my neighbor's dog got like, it didn't get hurt real bad or anything, but like, like, there would be the elevator and the doors open and a dog leaped out and like bitter dog. And by much bigger, bitch. Yeah. By a much bigger dog and the person with the bigger dog was like, hey, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:03:25 Like, all that happened, like, I'm not saying it's anybody's fault whatsoever, but all that happened was elevator doors open and dogs were surprised to see another dog. Right. You know, it was like, so now I guess when you wait for the elevator, wait another step back or something. I don't know. Before I get the show, I want to talk about the government shutdown and some further ice hijinks if we get there. But like Indianapolis over the weekend. Nothing happened in Indianapolis this weekend that I'm aware of. I'm not aware of anything sports related in particular having happened in Indianapolis this week. Yeah, we're trying to avoid as the Raiders got their fucking shit kicked in by the Colts.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Destroyed by the Colts, who I hate already the Colts. But anyway, yeah, they got wrecked by them. But one of the commentators for that game was supposed to be former USC and New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. So he went to Indianapolis to call that game a little bit, you know, late last week. And then... Unfortunately, he never made. it to the game, which was probably, presumably fired, I assume, because the first version of stories, Mark Sanchez has been stabbed.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Yeah, Mark Sanchez hospitalized after being stabbed in Indianapolis, so it makes it sound like he got mugged or something like that at first, but then it turns out there was more to the story, evidently. The story changed a few different times over the course of Saturday and Sunday. At first, it was a food delivery driver, but that wasn't really right. It's a guy who's like, you know those services that collect oil from restaurants, I guess? Yep, yep, yep. it was like his trucks really loud the guy's hard of hearing so mark sanchise was yelling about
Starting point is 00:04:59 something in an alleyway when the guy leaned in sanchez took his disrespectful and beat the ever-living fuck out of this guy who then stabbed him in self-defense so then mark sanchise woke up hung over in the hospital handcuffed to a bed with a gaping chest room under arrest which is probably the worst way to wake up like waking up dead's like oh distant second place right yeah they might be second behind only uh the opening of 28 days later, the way Killiam Murphy wakes up, which is alone in a hotel bed, or a hotel bed, hospital bed, in the midst of the literal zombie apocalypse. But, you know, being stabbed in Indiana is easily just as bad.
Starting point is 00:05:39 But, yeah, so if he attacked this dude, well, first of all, it's wild, because if you're a football fan or whatever, Mark Sanchez, again, he played at USC, he's got a million-dollar smile. All-American, Boy Scout. Right. Right. He seemed so, like, not like that at all. He seemed real chill. He seen hot dogs on the sidelines and shit.
Starting point is 00:06:01 He was, like, not super agro at all. So that's weird. But also, like, as far as the guy, like, stab at him, and I don't think I don't know that anybody's really going after that dude. But also, Mark Sanchez, like, any NFL player, I don't know his exact measurements, but he's, that's a big fucking dude. So if you're a truck driver, you know, in Indianapolis, and all of a sudden you've got, like, a, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:23 elite level muscle-bound athlete just teeing off on your ass, you're going to do whatever you've got to do to survive that situation. As far as the politics around to go, it was pretty interesting because when Mark Sanchez was the victim for the first 12, 24 hours or whatever this, being an All-American football guy who's the kind of guy you'd want your daughter to date was his whole brand or whatever. His most famous football moment was, of course, running into his own center's ass and foaming the ball because he's a jet.
Starting point is 00:06:51 That's a jet. That's more of a Jets thing, really. than a Mark Sanchez's specific thing. So when he was the victim, he was basically white-coded even though he was named Sanchez. Yeah, right. And then when he became the perpetrator, he went back to me in Mexican so fucking quick.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Your head spied. So like what, so here's how the governor reacted to this, of course, because it happened in the city of Indianapolis. Now, this whole stupid political moment we're in where everyone, cities are all evil hellscapes. Right. And no crime at all happens.
Starting point is 00:07:20 So Indiana is a red state, but Indianapolis, I'm assuming is a blue city ran by Democrats or something or whatever. They do have a narrative. So it's crime-ridden and, you know, dangerous. I was just there, by the way. I would say it's one of the nicest, like, downtown areas that I've been to of any major city in this country. In terms of it's not, it ain't like fucking, you know, fucking taxi driver shit at all its exact opposite.
Starting point is 00:07:45 It's all malls and Dick's last resort and stuff, which is, you know, not great, but it's in good shape, though. there's a reason it shows like the wire are set in Baltimore or in Camden, New Jersey, and not in Annapolis. You know, I know what you're saying. So like the governor, his name is Mike, sorry, Mike Braun.
Starting point is 00:08:02 He tweeted, I've been clear, city leaders must do their jobs and hold criminals accountable. When Indianapolis headlines, national news for a lack of public safety, it hurts our city and our state. Hoosiers are better,
Starting point is 00:08:12 praying for a full recovery for Mark Sanchez. He deleted that. The lieutenant governor, when they got named Michael Beckwith, unacceptable. This is happening at our capital city, right here in Indiana is slatting into lawlessness because local leaders refuse to prosecute criminals and protect citizens yada yada they're acting like Antifa runs the district
Starting point is 00:08:28 attorney's office in fucking Indianapolis right um Mike Beckworth deleted his tweet of course when he looks stupid um the mayor of Indianapolis is a guy named Joe Hogset who is a who is a Democrat uh you know that's his party affiliation he's also a former tough on crime prosecutor who's got his master's degree from a fucking seminary. so I don't know how we get politicians to come back to reality because they all keep watching too much box news but like this is absolutely fucking insane and a quick recovery wish to the guy that Mark Sanchez beat the shut up and stabbed him and also best of luck to Mark Sanchez getting his fucking life together because he apparently has problems we didn't know about yeah no shit um all right well this is a weekly skews producer mats back there doing his thing secretly in the shadows where he likes to operate um But before we continue, I have my weekly announcements to make for y'all.

Starting point is 00:11:02 What do you say? Daily Dumbass. Hit me with that graphic, buddy. Today's D.D. Ted Cruz. for shutting the government down after finding the one civil rights cause he can get behind. I'll come together and say, let's stop attacking pedophiles. The way the inflection and his voice changes right at the very end of that,
Starting point is 00:11:33 where it's like you can tell it just hits him right at the end of saying it, like, what he said, is very funny. It's like something out of a, you know, the office or V or one of those shows or something. Bro, if I'm a Democratic column person and I can't cut together a good fucking attack ad or them doing Epstein cover-up stuff with that as a button to the ad, then I just, do you quit and go do something else, man? I don't know what to fucking tell these people. So I want to talk about, so I think I mentioned recently that one of the other things overhanging the shutdown is that as soon as they come back, they swear the two hundred, uh, a Democratic lady who won a special election who will be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. so they might they yeah we might
Starting point is 00:12:13 we might not have a federal government anymore but so this don't want to talk about the shutdown at a roundup of the deep silliness going on because this I have no idea how they get out of this okay because they shut down over nonsense and all the demands are nonsense which we'll get to
Starting point is 00:12:28 yeah I knew that I mean I was so like I said I was just in Virginia and Richmond and then Alexandria and Alexandria is you know basically suburb of D.C. So like there was a ton of both military and just federal government people at my shows all weekend who are currently, they were, you know, furloughed right now. So they were talking about it. I mean, I used to work at the DOE, so I've had friends texting me too.
Starting point is 00:12:50 So I know that, like, it has happened and they're in the midst of it, but I haven't really, you know, you're about to educate me, which I know is unusual for me. I'm normally very on top of it, but I don't even really know what this go around was over. I know that it feels like it happens every time the goddamn budget comes up, but I don't know the specifics of this one. Well, again, well, first I want to talk about all the fun everyone's having with it. Because, I mean, yeah, the federal employees, they're not getting paid. And some of them still have to go to work even they're not getting paid. But they'll get the back pay when the government opens back up. It's usually how to work for you.
Starting point is 00:13:20 So Thomas Massey posted this tweet, a picture of blue sky and fucking, I guess he's back home in Kentucky and says, the best thing about government shutdowns, no chem trails. Which raises a lot of interesting questions about, I think, I think Massey's joking around, but the people in his mentions absolutely were not. But people seem to really think this is true. so like like right you'd think the chemtrails guys would be essential employees right yes you would also well i don't know i was going to say like if you're a kim trail person that don't uh like it doesn't matter what administration's in charge if you're a kim trail person you believe that the deep state
Starting point is 00:13:58 is doing chem trails all the time no matter who the president is although or even when trump's the president joe Biden still controls the deep state from his uh you get you get all All varieties of it. Mental ward. But there are people who think they've stopped seeing Kim Trails since Trump was reelected. Okay. What I did is during his first administration. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:16 But anyway, like, I just like the idea that, like, the Kim Trails guys got furloughed. Maybe they're at the show. It's like Colonel Deep State and Dr. Strangerlove. They get two weeks for a low paid vacation. So you guess the van. It's not a bad sitcom idea. Or, you know, like a workplace sitcom is like a workplace comedy government employees, but it's the Kim Trails guys, the guys that the Deep State.
Starting point is 00:14:37 the office before the deep state or whatever i think wasn't there a netflix cartoon it was that it was like a workplace sitcom i think maybe you're right i think maybe you're right about that yeah it that's you know honestly it's too good of an idea to not exist mark so as far as it's some more fun with who's essential essential so there's this this stunt fucking art installation on the national mall where somebody keeps putting up a statue of trump and epstein like holding hands and me and best friends right and the park the park employees keep taking it down but they put it back up this last time and nobody took it down. So apparently they have furloughed the people
Starting point is 00:15:08 would take down the fucking pedophile statue. So, which I would argue they should have seen coming, you know, or at least anticipated. Although I don't know if, you know, that really factored into their decision making. I'm sure if whatever, something like that happens, the people that would be pissed off by it, they just expect it to go away without really thinking through the logistics of the actual person who has to go and move the pedophile statue every day.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Yeah. I mean, this, this, honestly, this. the statue of Trump and Epstein might be the only thing because the government shut down ended, which brings us back to play it again, Sam, forget this video clip. How about we all come together and say, let's stop attacking pedophile? Just start playing that video on every episode, every week. Yeah. You need to make that you're like, like, you know how Paul Rudd would go on Conan
Starting point is 00:16:00 and to promote a movie or whatever, and he'd be like, all right, this is a clip from Ant-Man or whatever, but it was always a clip from that insane 80s movie, Mac and Me, or whatever, that he wasn't even in of a kid in a wheelchair flying off a cliff's edge or something. Yeah, it was a good bit. Yeah, it's a great bit. You should do that with that Ted Cruz clip there. So these shutdowns, usually there are because of performative demands
Starting point is 00:16:27 by the party out of power that are completely unmet, and then the government just goes back to work after they lose a public opinion That's usually like what like the Republicans demanding then into Obamacare so they can fund their own operations of the government, right? This one the other dynamic is like the party out of power asked for a small token sort of gesture
Starting point is 00:16:48 to get to like signal that they actually accomplish something and then everybody comes together it's like it's not much and that's basically what the Democrats are doing. They're acting like politics is normal. They're asking for a little bit more health care funding. Right. But the subtext here is everyone's just trying to look busy
Starting point is 00:17:03 for their bases. But the surface-level text is this is about health care. So let's talk about health care and what they actually want. Okay, let's watch this clip from Chuck Schumer. If you want to say the general vibe with the Democratic opposition right now, which is always on point and super aggressive and, you know, making a difference. New data came out today from AFF, and that is not from a property pride franchise. AFF, it could be in public interest right.
Starting point is 00:17:31 I know. Cool. Now they're having fun. I yeah what a fun group I just want to hang out with them he's trying to like throw out some data from the Kaiser Family Foundation which says that basically is 78% of people
Starting point is 00:17:45 of Americans support extending the ACA credits which is true and you want to break that down if you break it down per like party or whatever party identification 92% of Democrats support it 82% of independence 59% of Republicans and even 57% of people self-identified as MAGA are for extending these ACA subsidies what we're talking about here is like 24 million Americans
Starting point is 00:18:03 and my wife and I are among them, by their insurance on the Obamacare exchanges like a la carte, right? We got a notice from our insurer that says that if these extensions don't go, if the subsidies don't go back into place, our insurance rates are going to go up. They didn't even bother putting a number to it. It was just like up with like five U's and seven P's, all right? So it would go from being that basically the monthly price of a mortgage to the monthly price of a mortgage to the monthly price of like three times of remorse. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:18:38 I know. I don't even, I haven't even looked at mine, but it should be the same thing because I mean, I'm also on that same type of deal, you know, because I'm self-employed or whatever. And so I just,
Starting point is 00:18:50 and yeah, it ain't cheap right now. I've got, you know, a whole family of four, but it's pretty fucking expensive as it is, but I'm sure it's about to get so much worse, especially since we're Californians.
Starting point is 00:19:01 I feel like if they can find any way to fuck us harder somehow then they'll do it. I'm not sure why this is in place, but most Americans who buy their health insurance this way are in red states or whatever. So it's a little disproportionately affect Republican constituents. Now, what the Democrats are demanding
Starting point is 00:19:20 is basically put things back the way they were before the oba-bubah, right? The one being beautiful bill or whatever they ended up calling it. It's a nice gesture to a lot of us who don't want to have to forego having health insurance. insurance or eating food. It is bad politics because it's a temporary extension. The Republicans will make permanent if they hold on a Congress next session.
Starting point is 00:19:43 So essentially the barring Democrats are trying to strike is a temporary reprieve and pain for America in lieu of making that pain permanent and saving Republicans from political fallout from a horrific decision they've made that I'm not sure if they did it on purpose. They fucked up, right? So that's the policy hanging over all this and a little bit of the, the politics. As far as the actual demands, because they need 60 votes in the Senate, theoretically. They don't actually, but in order to not nuke the filibuster, they need 60 votes. The background for this is Republicans behaving like they don't need 60 votes for anything
Starting point is 00:20:16 all the time anyway. Trump is just spending money however wants to spend it, regardless of what Congress says at all. So like right now, Hill Republicans are estimated that Trump will need as set as much as $50 billion to farmers hit by his tariffs. They're basically moving money around and make this happen with no authorization from Congress. like, Treasury is going to figure a way to use tariff revenue for it, to bypass Congress completely to do all this. While at the same time, they're demanding a Democratic,
Starting point is 00:20:42 Democratic votes to pass a continuing resolution to get money, they're not going to spend the way. The continuing resolution says it's going to be spent anyway. Right. So, like, like, I'm trying to figure out a way to phrase this where it makes sense because it fucking doesn't. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:57 So Trump wants to both cut spending without Democratic agreement and add spending without Democratic agreement, and then wonder why Democrats want to agree to it. Right. Right? But they could also just nuke the filibuster like they just did for five other purposes and just pass it, just Republican votes. They don't need it to do Republican votes.
Starting point is 00:21:14 So like the Republican position of the shutdown is we can always unilaterly change the budget Congress passes. But Dems must sign off on the budget to pass it. If they don't pass it, we will uniland change the budget, which you already said we're going to do anyway. And we will not press the majority party can pass a budget button, which is doing away with the filibuster. So because the Republicans have, like, the numbers right now, they could permanently get rid of the filibuster forever at any time, but they don't want to do that. Like, if they did, if they didn't press that button or whatever,
Starting point is 00:21:48 that would, you know, then that would be how it works going forward, no matter who was in power. It's a Senate rule. They could remove it for this one vote and put it back in place immediately. That's basically what they do in other stuff. They just don't want to They won't even say why they don't want to Okay
Starting point is 00:22:06 Basically what they want to do As they want They want to Basically the damage this negotiation is Like say you're out of a deli haggling Over the price of a sandwich And the Democrats like I would like to purchase a turkey sandwich And they go one turkey sandwich
Starting point is 00:22:22 Coming up You watch them take a shit in the middle of the sandwich And hand it to you And you have to not just eat it But pay for it and also pretend that it's not shit That's the whole thing They don't need their votes. They want their votes.
Starting point is 00:22:33 They don't need them. And they're fucking fighting. It's so goddamn stupid. There's also the part of this. We talked about us in a recent show where they got, they passed the house because they promised the Freedom Caucus that the continued resolution wasn't real. That's a lie. They announced that. That's not the Freedom Caucus guys like Thomas Massey justified their votes.
Starting point is 00:22:50 It's like, we voted for something that's fake. Don't worry about it. And now they want, they don't get the votes for the fake. God damn it. So I had over all this, there's something called rescission packages where, like, these 60 votes to pass the budget, right? But you only need 50 votes to claw the spending back and it's in separate deals.
Starting point is 00:23:08 That doesn't need to meet the filibuster. So, like, if a department doesn't spend all the money that's allocated to it, you can take it back at the end of the year. It's supposed to be like a, like, you know, easy thing to get done because obviously no one need the money. Right. Republicans have been using that to claw back money that they agree to spend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:26 So why? Well, like things that actually help people or whatever. Yeah. So, like, why would you, but so everything runs on handshake deals on planet Earth for the most part. So, like, in general, in order to supply your 60 vote for something, the other party's promising not to go undo it with 50 votes unless something changes or, like, you're supposed to be operating good faith. But they're straightforwardly operating in bad faith right now. They're saying, we're going to pass it with 60, then doing a rescission's vote was 50. So why would you agree to the 60?
Starting point is 00:23:52 Right, yeah, right. That's what I was, that's what I was about to say. Like, if everybody knows that, it's all, you know, what, what, I don't know. what options of the Democrats even actually have like they either they can't do anything about it like either way right is what you're saying but they can like capitulate or like you know work with them for whatever reason they decide but they're not they're still they're eating a shit sandwich by doing that like they're not that doesn't benefit them at all in the long run um so why do yeah as stupid as is usual the usual process for this kind of thing is like because Because of the sense we live in a democracy is the government shuts down. Everybody makes their cases for whether they're correct. And it's the other side's fault. Then they all look at polling data and it's like, that's like a referendum, right?
Starting point is 00:24:40 They come back and, okay, we lost, you won. Here's your votes, right? But that doesn't seem to be, nobody seems to care about that right now because they've already lost the polling fight by a mile. It's not even remotely close because Republicans are the party that wants to shut down the government. That's just a branding thing that's baked in. It's like how Democrats can not be the party of civil rights, no matter how many trans people they throw into the bus. You don't succeed in convincing anybody because that's just part of that's part of your identity. It's what's picked into it, right?
Starting point is 00:25:06 So Democrats made this about health care because they want to make every fight about health care because that's the, because the public sides with them on that issue. It's one issue they got, right? The end of that yang is Republicans want to make this fight about immigration because that's the one thing they think is their safe ground to fight on, which is how you result in like, here's a video Ted Cruz put out of a bunch of Senate Democrats with like photoshopped or AI like pictures of some. umbreos on their heads and mustaches on there. Yeah. Yeah. That's that or that's like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:25:39 like, dude. So yeah, Matt's not playing, he muted it so we don't get stricken on YouTube or whatever. But I mean, the macarena plays throughout this whole montage. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Yeah. Yes. And this is that. Look at that. Brilliant. High art right there, man. This,
Starting point is 00:25:57 he's doing this. It's becoming me because Trump put it at a. video of like Chuck Schumer giving his speech. We talked about everybody hates us and pieces of shit. Nobody likes us, yada, yada, yada. While Hakeem Jeffries is standing beside him in a sombrero and a mustache. So they're trying to make it into it me.
Starting point is 00:26:13 The thing is so fucking stupid. My God, dude. This is the Senate. Like, fucking, what is happening? It looks like something like one fraternity would put out about a rival fraternity during Greek week or something to like roast them or some shit like that over having a
Starting point is 00:26:30 Cinco DiMaio party or whatever the fuck. It's incredibly juvenile and stupid. And I say that as somebody who writes dick jokes for a fucking career. Like, like, like, I chose to do this. You chose to do that. You're supposed to be a serious person. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:43 So like, like, if you, the, Hakeem Jeffries, who's important to point out here is black and non-Mexican or Hispanic in any way, shape, or form, put a statement calling the video racist. Now, it's a lot of things. I'm not sure of putting a black guy on a suburb is racist,
Starting point is 00:26:57 but all that's not my, that's not up to me to decide. but it is insanely stupid. I just don't think trying to fight everything about, make every fight about racism is particularly a way to go here because being this silly about it, federal employees aren't getting paid, people aren't getting services they pay taxes for,
Starting point is 00:27:11 a bunch of people's health insurance is about to be lost or by them way more expensive. This is all deadly serious shit. Not to mention the real reason this fight is happening is because the country's being torn apart by a fucking fascist goon squad who's kidnapping people off the fucking street. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:23 So no one's really going to give a fuck, I don't think, about the racially, insensitive part of them putting y'all in umbarrows with a mustache or whatever like you said it's more about the like this is what they're doing while the country falls apart is what you should be offended by not you know the video of people of putting white people in sombreros is not like ruma geago wasn't there he could probably call it racist right but like but like like the it's not even the top 10 most racist things happening to actual mexican people right now you know not even
Starting point is 00:27:58 close. So, yeah, they want to make this about illegal immigration laws. And the way they're doing this is because the Republican argument is that there are two kind of health care benefits that end up going to, going to immigrants who have legal status or undocumented. The first is emergency room care that's given to patients regardless. The law requires a law passed by Ronald Reagan requires emergency rooms to stabilize people and treat them before turning them away or checking their insurance or anything else. Of course. Yeah, I know. This is what always, Anytime it comes up, there has so many of their arguments about health care come down to, like,
Starting point is 00:28:31 you know, eventually you then you, if you support healthcare, being like, okay, so, so we just allow people to die uninsured people, poor people or homeless people,
Starting point is 00:28:42 show up to a hospital, like they should just be left to bleed out in front of everybody there or die or whatever. And then, and I find usually real life when you're talking to, they'll be like, no, of course not. Nobody's saying that.
Starting point is 00:28:55 And it's like, well, I don't get how else, you think it's going to work, because, like, that kind of is what you're saying, you know? Like, that's just where it has to go. Especially because you don't just want to allow hospitals to turn people away. You want them turned away. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Right. Yeah, I was about it. That's how it always was, for me, years ago when the argument was just about health care. Like, I'm talking about during the Obamacare era or whatever. But, like, it pains me to say, I bet if you framed it specifically as illegal immigrants, I bet a lot of them probably would just, they wouldn't say the words, yeah, let them die. some of them might but they would be like hey look but you know look they made their bed that's them laying in it like that type of thing like i don't even think that they would right pretend to care if that became official policy but doctors signing or you know make an oath right very famously
Starting point is 00:29:44 to try to do doctor shit when somebody needs it you know first to no harm yeah yeah regardless of anything so you know there's a lot of factors at play there right but also i want to i want to to mention here that like if you like basically if you if you if you remove the requirement that they treat people without checking for a status insurance or any other status you basically the hospital to save money is going to require their employees do check which means that anyone who doesn't have their wallet on them when they get hit by a car like I don't take about my dog is not going to get treated because you can't like it's not because they don't know your citizenship they don't know your insurance don't know anything so like the the fucking
Starting point is 00:30:21 private equity ghouls that own these hospitals are going to require them to let you die no matter where you're born. Right. I need like, that's, that's, that's the, the regime where they're asking to be, to operate on just to fucking legal immigrants. That's all that small government, ultra-capitalism, fucking everything should be private shit, ends up going with the idea of like a private fire departments and they show up and you got to prove that you paid your premium before they'll, you know, put your house fire out, you know, just let it burn to the ground. If you're not like, if you missed a payment by a couple of days or whatever, the idea of that is the type of shit that should freak in. anybody out, you would think, regardless of, you know, what your economic philosophy otherwise is. Some of that shit is just should not ever be profit-motivated in any sane society, but
Starting point is 00:31:09 the, that's the first part to talk about health care spending going to illegal or undocumented handgun. The second part is affordable care benefits like that I buy that people with with legal status, where it be a temporary or green card or whatever can buy. So you're talking about people buying insurance, the same way I buy insurance, the same way you buy food and I buy food. So part of that coverage is subsidized so they don't be able to buy that. So like the logic here is immigrants cannot be provided health care
Starting point is 00:31:40 nor purchase it. Right. All right. So there's also the part of the logic puzzle on here is like they didn't fully cut this when they passed the one big beautiful bill. They just cut some of it. their own logic, their own budget provides health care benefits to illegal immigrants.
Starting point is 00:32:00 The framework here is like if you put this in like in numbers, Democrats want to provide health care to illegal immigrants by giving them $8. I want to deny health care to illegal immigrants by only giving them $6. What the fuck are we doing?
Starting point is 00:32:19 Yeah, right. I know. But is it just about I don't know, optics and messaging and all that for them, you know, that way they can frame it to their base as, oh, they want to give it, you know, even more your hard-earned money to illegal immigrants, and we're trying to stop it. And they just don't, they omit the part about how
Starting point is 00:32:35 they are already giving it to them anyway, a smaller amount. They've been making this case, like, they've already lost this fight. Nobody believes it because it's so incredibly stupid because like, like, Americans are often dumb children who are easily fooled by surface level news coverage. But they're also adults have to go to play
Starting point is 00:32:54 have to go out in the world and walk around and buy stuff and talk to people, right? They exist in both war planes at the same time. But this is neither a, I saw an interview where, like, a news reporter was trying to drill down with Elizabeth Warren about this, and she called it a lie, which is not quite a lie. It's neither true nor a lie. It's a third thing that's just fucking stupid because it's sort of true that it does provide health care funding for little immigrants in the same way that anything that's universal is provided for illegally immigrants. But the same logic, because there's no, like, you know, ID checkpoints on interstate on ramps, you could say, like, when people get on I-95 in Florida, you could say that Florida is providing free highway access to illegal immigrants. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Well, don't give them any ideas, Mark, either about the on-ramp ID checkpoints or that, you know. By this logic, you can't put in a public park because you say Democrats are trying to provide free grilling locations for illegal immigrants. Mm-hmm. That's true. It's just fucking stupid way to put it. Right. Yeah. And like there's also the thing hanging over this is like we are spending a bunch of money provided
Starting point is 00:34:02 providing health care to illegal immigrants because of Republican policies, specifically the ones they're beating the shut up and hospitalizing while they're fucking trying to lock them up. They just spent about $400,000 in this guy named Bayron Marin and Carson, California. They're raided a car wash and broke this guy's leg, all right? They won't say how bad, but he's been in the hospital since August 27th. under armed guard. They've never obtained a warrant for this guy or even claimed that he's undocumented.
Starting point is 00:34:30 He's just in the hospital for like seven weeks now. Under guard, even though he was an American citizen because they broke his fucking leg and he's paying for his health care and their armed guards. They've got like the court of a lawsuit filed by his lawyer, okay?
Starting point is 00:34:44 They've hid this guy using fake names of the hospital. They question him without reading of his rights. They've restricted his access to lawyers. Even order a judge, though a judge has already released, ordered him to be released from custody, and according to the lawsuit, two to form uniform guards, either spectrum employees or ICE agents, have been continually stationed in his hospital room,
Starting point is 00:35:02 monitoring at all times, including why he sleeps, eats, uses the restroom, and receives medical care. This guy who didn't commit a crime, or even as far as we know, is here undocumented, they snapped his leg into, and have been watching him take a shit for fucking seven weeks, while we pay for it, while they cut our health benefits. Yeah, but, I mean, for what? Why do you, just to give them something to do or an intimidation? tactic or what? Because they know that whatever,
Starting point is 00:35:27 he could turn into another Brigo Garcia type situation or something. So they want to like keep, A, keep him under lock and key, but also freak him out so that maybe that doesn't happen, but they could end up strife-sanding it, you know. If I had a guess,
Starting point is 00:35:40 they thought he was an immigrant. They broke his fucking leg. They worry about getting sued. They need to find something to accuse him of or convict him of so they can make it look like he's a bad guy and they didn't fuck up. Right. And now seven weeks later,
Starting point is 00:35:52 they haven't done anything, but they, you know, the whole thing when you're in a hole, he's supposed to dig up, stupid? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I think they forgot to dig up. Right. So they've been operating under the pretense the whole time that he's a criminal who deserved it. And if, if that were true, they'd have to keep guards posted there all the time.
Starting point is 00:36:10 So there go, they have to keep guards posted there all the time because that's their, you know, that's their assertion is that he's a criminal, even though there's no proof of it or whatever. Continue interrogating question of him. conformed psychological torture, you know, just like trying to be like, come on, man, confess, you know you got child porn, where's the drugs act? You know, that kind of shit. So I do want to say about all this. J.D. Vance gave a White House press conference where he said this is a, like, he tried to blame like long ear wait times on undocumented immigrants because the basic idea here, they're a whole class of people because they don't have health insurance or forced to use emergency rooms like primary care of physicians. Right. And which that happening, obviously, drives up white times, wait times and everything else, but also, cost and shit for everybody, which is part of the reason why, if we just had actual universal
Starting point is 00:36:58 health care, you know, it would end up being cheaper for pretty much everyone in the long run at the end of the day. And there's a lot of reasons, but what you just said is one of them, because that's what I meant earlier. You start, you start having that conversation you get to. It's like, well, poor people that ain't got insurance, they're going to, they're going to go somewhere when they get hit by a fucking bus. Do you want their lives to be saved or not? Because if you're not okay with just letting them die, then this fucked up system is going to... It's not even the letting people die things.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Because basically what happens is you get like an impacted tooth or whatever, a bad cavity. You don't have insurance. You can't go to a primary... You can't go get antibiotics or can't go to a dentist. So what happens, it gets worse and worse and worse, you have a horrible fever and you end up in the emergency room. And it costs way more.
Starting point is 00:37:41 So you could say your way times and health care spending by helping that person get insurance, but we're not going to do that. So also, you can't go to the emergency room. And also, the process of kicking people off the Affordable Care Act and Medicare is going to make this problem worse for the same reason for all the reasons that's outline. They're taking steps to make the problem worse. But the main problem we talk to anybody that works in health care is long wait times are due to understaffing because of private equity cost cutting and subsequently overworked nurses and doctors leaving because of private equity cost cutting. But if you've heard anybody outside of like the very left, far left wing of the Democratic Congressional Caucus argue that we should be trying to ring in.
Starting point is 00:38:19 or ban private equity, or stopping them from by hospitals? No, I haven't. Are you going to raise billionaire taxes and no hospital even want to turn away someone who's bleeding you out? Because they'd make money treating people? No. So instead, we end up with Democratic comms like this. I swear to God, this is an actual video tweeted out by the Democrats' official Twitter page. Republican and Democrat kiddies cannot agree on what should be funded.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Democrat kiddies want you to have health care. Republican kiddies do not. and kitties control the Senate House and the White House, so they're using that to cut your health care of money to a billion. Is ISIS still recruiting, Trey? I swear to fucking God, man. I know what. God damn.
Starting point is 00:39:05 I like, it's like, like, fucking, like, I will be personally relieved if they, if they, if they help me keep having affordable health care, right? Right. I don't understand why, instead of trying to go, the best case scenario they can imagine is going back to, to the status quo from what it was a week ago and not a better fucking future. End of that rant.
Starting point is 00:39:27 On to the next moment. All right. Honorable mention, next up. All of us for being terrorists and not even knowing it. A bunch of ISIS workforce and resources have had to be reprioritized. How much of the Joint Terrorism Task Force's
Starting point is 00:39:41 resources have had to be reprioritized to fight these domestic terrorists? Do you have any idea how many resources are sent? You keep calling them terrorists. Isn't that hyperbolic to call them terrorists? No, if anything, I'm understating the severity of the situation. All right. Is he talking about like Antifa again or?
Starting point is 00:40:01 Yeah. Anybody that's like, sees a guy, ice uniform. It's like, hey, man, cut it out. Yeah. Right. Right. So Trump was asked about Portland the other day. And he basically said the city's burning down.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Mm-hmm. And the governor and mayor and all the centers and whatever from more. who are saying, no, it's not, are all lying because they're afraid they'll be murdered if they emit the city's burning down. It would cost, like, $35 to set up a series of webcams all over Portland so you can watch a live feed of the amount of fucking nothing that's going on. I am continually baffled. This man has all the world's information at his fingertips.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Like, I think everyone's made the joke that if we were present, the first thing we do would find out whether there are not they're aliens, right? he's not even not interested in the aliens he's not interested in like asking somebody what's happening in fucking portland right it's amazing to me wasn't it on either a bonus episode or the last episode there was a quote from him right maybe just sent it to the group chat but no he's in the show he's like if i just confused but what i'm seeing on tv i'm seeing something with tv that's not happening right so i thought he was like starting to get there at least about portland specifically you're saying he just he already forgot that that thought it crossed his mind and is steven miller cat got in his ear um so i i got Stephen that was Stephen Miller. We just played a quote for him. If you're just listening to the fee, if you don't recognize his fucking voice, which he's so, he's so, he's just he's off putting, right?
Starting point is 00:41:30 He's very off putting. Without a doubt. I was trying to think of how to describe it too. And I, and I don't know. I got, he's just like, just like such a sniveling fucking, like, smar me, just little shit, you know, you know, he's got like, like, sort of worm tongue thing going on, but like, also, uh, fucking skull and bones tent and some in-sail shit and fucking, he's just not, he's just, he's very off-putting's a good way to put it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:58 You just look at me like, this dude is, I don't, I don't care for this guy. Wormtong, worm, tongue gerbils and Kermit the Frog. Like, oh, yeah, there you go, yeah. Um, if Trump did have a live feed going into Portland, here's what it would show him. Here's last, like last night or night before. I mean, that's also very stereotypical, uh, that's, yeah, that's, it's, it's, it's really happening. An inflatable frog rubbing his fake frog dick on an inflatable astronaut or something, like dancing together? That's, uh, the guy, came here what that character is actually called, but that's, those guys are from among us, which is a very, very popular, like, online multiplayer kids game.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Like my son dressed up as one of those for Halloween a couple years ago. It was a cultural phenomenon for a while. But the other one, though, American flag balloon, man. I'm not just generic balloon patriot. So this is apparently, like, there was a leaked text exchange with somebody in the trial administration's talking about the same to the 80-second airborne to the portal and to combat that. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Right. I just want to say, like, your mileage may vary on how much you find that stuff amusing or whether if it's in your neighborhood, you're probably annoyed by it. I just want to say, like, to me, living in a free country means you're going wag your fake inflatable frog dick at a cop that that particular that inflatable frog he like he was back out there even though a couple nights before he had been a cop there's apparently a vent on the butthole where the fin that keeps him inflated blows air in so the guy can breathe yes and the cop pepper sprayed the butthole then I mean quick thinking by the cop I guess
Starting point is 00:43:43 I've seen videos I don't know if that cop got the idea from TikTok or what, but I've seen TikTok videos where people take, like, fart spray or something like that, something rancid, like an old mayonnaise jar or whatever, and put it up to the butthole vent and then watch this big inflatable character start spazzing out and choking and stuff because it stinks so bad, and that's always funny. But pepper spray, you know, that's a little too fucked up. Look, I honestly, like, the odds of salt. Yeah, cops should not be brutalizing people, and tear gas pepper spray are horrific.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Like, if the cops carried fart spray, I'd be like 15% more cool with this shit, right? Yeah, yeah. So the thing about this is the stuff that the government says on the news and stuff the government says in court files is different. Like Trump, there's a bunch of ongoing lawsuits about like a federal judge who was a Trump appointee in his first administration said he no, he cannot nationalize the Oregon National Guard to send to Portland to fight the frog. And so then he nationalized like he's sending up California National Guard and Texas National Guard
Starting point is 00:44:43 to invade Portland. And that's the current ongoing court case right now. But in the court case about Oregon, the first one about Oregon, I do want to know that that judge did a follow-up hearing today was exasperated by like, I told you you can't send the National Guard into Portland. And you just went and got a different state's national guard. Right. Like this Calvin Ball bullshit is going to be like, well, technically you didn't say.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Yeah, you didn't say that. You said the Oregon National Guard. Yeah. You'll notice this is a totally different National Guard. So, yeah, it's worse. It's worse than in other states. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:15 So, according to the DOJ's own court filings, claiming that the Portland is a state of revolution and insurrection, they listed four episodes with threatening behavior by protesters. Those, for instance, were protesters setting up a makeship guillotine near an ice facility, which is like, okay, like, we do gallows and guillotines in protestants country all the time. Another one was someone posting a photograph of an unmarked ice vehicle online, took a picture of an ice vehicle and posted it somewhere. the other two incidents involving flashlights being shown in the faces of agents driving vehicles. So those are the four incidents of insurrection happening is someone built an effigy of a guillotine. It took a vehicle of a car. Which they're very famously was at January 6th, by the way. That was a gallows, but yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Yeah, well, yeah, same difference for Mike Pence, right? Well, I guess just all of them. It was, you know, but anyway, yeah, like you said, that's the thing. I don't get the car one. They're doxing them by posting their car online or something. You don't look out for this car. Yeah. They just like,
Starting point is 00:46:21 so they took down a fucking, the Apple store acquiesced to a government demand. There was an ice tracking app that people were downloading. And I get why the government doesn't want you posting the locations of cops. But also, Apple and Google's bowl map functions lets you report speed traps. Mm-hmm. So now people are just getting on their out.
Starting point is 00:46:44 They're just reporting ice locations as speed traps on Google Maps. So what? So while they're trying to escalate in Portland, the people on the ground there are saying that there definitely has been like an escalation of brutality and the number of ICE agents and stuff without like, and this article may be loud because it said without any clear sounds of provocation, which is true to me. But to an ICE agent being called fat and stupid probably feels like a provocation
Starting point is 00:47:10 because you're supposed to be the cool word. yeah um like you can't just gag guys call me fat and stupid you're saying i'm not being provoked yeah yeah uh we saw upset they got when you know when they got a sandwich thrown at them that time yeah uh so they're basically saying they like they used to just clear them out the driveway when they needed to take a vehicle and around now they they they have a larger force firing more tear guys and pepper bullets and pushing them way out the street put like basically pushing them back like a block or two out into the neighborhood me quote here there just keep pushing us back and there's nowhere we could go that's according to a woman who calls herself
Starting point is 00:47:41 Rainbow. Last week we had a cloud oven grail. This week we have Rainbow no last name. So Portland State Portland. She says she's been there for months and it's definitely gotten worse. So hang over all this is like because Portland is going viral once again
Starting point is 00:47:57 and it's like it tends to because right wingers love to pick fights in Portland. A bunch of counter-protesters have started showing up drunk and is trying to start fights and starting fights with ICE protesters. And they keep getting arrested which they think is part of a government conspiracy because only them
Starting point is 00:48:12 they're getting arrested because they're the ones drunk throwing bottles and hitting people. A conservative influencer, a new guy on the beat by the name of Nick Sorter, who's turned his career
Starting point is 00:48:24 and trying to go viral on Twitter writing stuff like breaking, Netflix has trans show or something. He went out there and he got arrested because someone was trying to burn a flag which is legal and he tried to take the flag away from them and push up into the ground
Starting point is 00:48:35 which is illegal and he thinks it's like unjust and he got arrested for assault. Right. So now, because Sartar has gone viral, all the other right-wing influencers showing up doing live streams trying to instigate shit. Yeah, get their numbers up. Yeah. I don't know, like all this stuff is just about making the TV show. Like, let me quote here, according to Rainbow and a reporter who's watching the protest, the federal officers, since they're escalating, have been flanked by videographers, toadowing professional equipment and wearing high visibility vests.
Starting point is 00:49:06 They filmed from behind the lines of officers capturing the show of force. at least two drones swept over the scenes camera drones they're filming a music video uh they apparently the same thing in chicago we did a black hawk raid on an apartment building right yeah i heard about this uh yeah sounded pretty crazy there's a building of mostly black people and also they were you know zip tie and everybody including all the kids and shit many of whom were u.s citizens and whatnot and they and yeah and they repelled down from helicopters in the middle of the night for like for what other than just they think that that's awesome you know like definitely the reason why they did it i don't care what they say to make a
Starting point is 00:49:51 dude's rock music video that uses a recruitment act exactly yeah they already put it out i will admit if i was like it did the the cinema quality is fucking pretty great it does it looks like it looks like it looks like a fucking action movie because it kind of like they cut it up to make these like goofy, like, they admit the part where they're not in any actual danger, but yeah, 300 federal agents in the middle of the night, raided this building. A lot of them came in through helicopters. Some land, they landed on the roof, descended through the building, according to News Nation, which got to ride along for the operation, because of course they did. They're embedded. And like you said, they zip tied, they kicked people's doors in, everyone's doors,
Starting point is 00:50:27 zip tied everybody, dragged them out on the street, men, women, and children. Some of them because of the middle of the night were naked. Right. And then sort of them out outside the building. even running the people they knew were citizens had no reason to suspect they this was customs border patrol did this no reason to suspect they were they weren't citizens they were just running federal warrants on people running warrants state federal warrants um the feds justified this by saying the building had trend day aragua in there um i haven't seen where they arrested anybody was trin dea waga maybe somebody in there has a tattoo or something and sells a little weed i don't fucking know um but let me quote here from my neighbor her name was ebony watson said
Starting point is 00:51:05 they started ducking when they heard flashbangs. They didn't know what's happening because obviously you wouldn't. You're asleep and started hearing bangs and booms and people get your door in. According to Ebony, quote, they was terrified. The kids was crying. People were screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I've seen the little girl come around the corner because they was bringing the kids down too, had them zip tied to each other.
Starting point is 00:51:23 That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where is the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right there. He said, fuck them kids. They sorted them out. They put black people in one van.
Starting point is 00:51:34 And immigrants in another group of vans. They basically had a sorting hat for born suspects. Let me quote here from the commander at large for Border Patrol guy named Gregory Bovino. How about you live in the apartment next door to Trindy, Aragoa, members that are trafficking, prostitution, drug, gugs, druns, and taking advantage of American citizens in a violent way? No, no, not taking advantage of American citizens in a violent way. No. That's super fucked up. Who would do something like that?
Starting point is 00:52:04 that's the reason we're justified in taking advantage it's American citizens in a violent way is because we had reports that a gang was doing the same thing but yeah I don't know what is there a position that everybody in that building all of whom got zip tied including the six year olds is no you know Trent DiWargo
Starting point is 00:52:22 it's just that's worth you know got to break a few eggs to make a yeah in order to make these people safe we get to kick down their doors in the middle and they're zip tie their children right um for their own good So they left behind, like, they destroyed these people's apartments, ransacked them. A lot of these people's shit was missing after they left.
Starting point is 00:52:41 I don't know if ICE took it or somebody came and took their stuff after the fuck. I mean, sorry, because the Border Patrol took it or where the people came in and stole their stuff after Border Patrol broke all their locks. But, like, they blew the doors off the hinges and walls and shit. And I feel like there's, like, the cops really gotten so dumb. They need to shred the bill of rights out with five teams selling weed. which is what Trend de Aragua is. Like, by the way, they, people,
Starting point is 00:53:08 reporters ask the people who live in the building about the Venezuelans that live in the building, and they're like, oh, yeah, they're cool. They're actually my favorite, my favorite neighbors. They keep it cleaner than everybody else.
Starting point is 00:53:16 So I don't know, man. Hanging over all this, I want to make a case, a case based upon circumstantial evidence to you, Trey. All right. The things ICE did, they, after they got done,
Starting point is 00:53:31 and the residents who wanted to go back in, were allowed back in the ones who weren't dragged off. They found a small moving crew that said they'd been hired to clear out the now vacant units. They were already in place a few hours later. And this is the overnight raid. This is the morning. This is the morning of October 1st, I want to match. It was an important thing hanging over this.
Starting point is 00:53:48 The day rents do. They found doors boarded up, zip ties and bloodstains on the floor next to baby shoes. Flies formed around open fridges. Now, this isn't that normal than normal where they live because the building is owned by a slum lord. It's a Wisconsin-based investor by the name of Trinity Flood, according to public records. Flood is facing a $27 million foreclosure lawsuit for not making loan payments on the three South Shore properties she bought for $18 million in 2020. The city also filed suit in February against her Flood's company for over 15 building code violations at the South Shore Prod property that got raided. The building had failed its past 14 annual inspections for stuff like not having fire extinguishers.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Here's a picture of how they left the apartment of a blind army. vet. All right. The next one is the next picture of an apartment but has serious water damage after whatever the fuck they did the apartment. If I told you this series of facts that an underwater slumlord who had no money to get up to code, her, she's not only even trying to rent units. If you call the now renting number, someone who tried to call it,
Starting point is 00:54:53 it goes to her rental agent who says she got let go by that, by Flood's company two years ago. they forced out some of the tenants by cops forced out some of the tenants some of the tenants don't want to go back because they're afraid of more fucking raids and a bunch of the tenants say they're trying to move they don't know where they're going to go what would you assume happened here I don't know some kind of insurance thing or something or trying to get out from under this building like trying to get demolished so you could sell it to somebody else and I would say that flood got very very lucky here that her investment, which is rapidly failing, now she may be able to sell the building once it's empty after the few remaining clients clear out after someone, someone called ICE just after everyone had fucking filed their rents for the one last month. They're not going to be there. I'm just saying, like, they're just using ice. Like, all those, it isn't amazing. We talked about this with Aurora last year. Every time some slum lord is underwater and about to go
Starting point is 00:55:56 wonder, all of a sudden, their apartments infested with Trin de Araago and the feds need to go in. Right. Yeah, it's like the new, uh, whatever, starting to kick kitchen fire overnight or that type of thing. Yeah. Uh, I do want to say like, like, elsewhere in Chicago, like, fucking ice, ice and border patrol keep making fake 911 calls to like harass local cops. They've been tear gassing local cops, which like, that is like, what is
Starting point is 00:56:21 ice is doing that to the local Chicago police for, uh, why, why? But the idea that Chicago PD is super woke, if you know anything about their history of covering up the murders of their own citizens and fucking running off the book's black site where they were torturing suspects. So like, like, it's just like, like they also, a thing hanging over all this is like the fever swamp that like Stephen Miller and Trump were living in, a bunch of like federal DHS people are also living in. ICE and Chicago and Border Patrol seem to have been radicalized against the. concept of traffic? They seem to think traffic is a conspiracy. They met two incidents recently, one where they shot a woman, where they claimed that a group of up to 10 cars tried to box in their vehicles.
Starting point is 00:57:10 One of them, they clearly seem to have been ran by two separate cars. They arrested two people. They claimed they were 10 vehicles. They arrested two people. These are very heavily armed federal agents and travel around large groups. So let me just say, I don't fucking believe them. You should not be hitting. people with her car, obviously, right?
Starting point is 00:57:28 But like, so another one I watched a video of, they cleaned to a boxed in by 10 cars. It's not even clear from the video that the woman can tell their ice. She appears she's just having a road rage because they're stopped in front of her in an open highway and tag her ass here because she's Mexican or Hispanic.
Starting point is 00:57:46 And she rams her car. So they also dropped, when they didn't sit in traffic, I watched the video, they just dropped a tear gas bomb out of the car door and gave a two-year-old an asthma attack because they think the people that the traffic they're stopped in is organized conspiracy
Starting point is 00:58:00 to slow down their work which maybe it is but it's also a big city with fucking traffic right I'll say it again just a version of like if you've grown so paranoid
Starting point is 00:58:12 that you're convinced that every you know minor societal inconvenience is a conspiracy directly against you because people hate you
Starting point is 00:58:24 and what you do so much you know, maybe chill out with what you do in the way you operate and everything else. Like, if you think everyone who sees you wants to fuck you over because they think that you're a fascist, like that would make me feel bad about myself. And instead of just being like, you know, fuck all these idiots.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Right. It'd be like, what if, like, me, the guy out of Austin Richshaw, the ponytail guy on the skateboard being pulled by the dog I talked about at the beginning of show? Yep. If I thought that guy was attacking me because I worked for ICE and he's Antifa,
Starting point is 00:58:54 as opposed to just being some guy who's fucking having a shit day. So, yeah, I don't know. Full circle, everybody. How about that? It all comes back to the ponytailed Austin Rickshaw man at the end of the day. Thank you guys for watching again real quick. Go Treycrowder.com. Check out my upcoming tour dates.
