Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews – War on Everyone

Episode Date: August 27, 2025

Today, we talk about the Cracker Barrel logo change due to infiltration by the Woke Stasi. ICE’s low recruiting standards have somehow led to Dean Cain almost getting stuck in a pipe. Then we get into America’s plan to invade everything everywhere all at once, including seizing Venezuela’s army I guess so we have enough troops to occupy Chicago.Support the show

what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you it's uh august 26 2025 when you're watching this we're recording this it is currently monday august 25th at about 2 30 p.m. on the left coast i'm tray that's mark i'm back again i missed last week uh yeah sure you guys somehow persevered without me Almost missed this week. You're stuck at the airport tarmac for like forever, right? Literally, my outbound trip to St. Louis, I was in St. Louis this weekend, and I had a real tight connection. I was worried about it because I've been having so much travel bullshit lately. And that day, everything went completely perfectly.

So that's good. But that's the only travel day. I feel like I've had in weeks where there wasn't at least some bullshit, if not like, you know, a veritable day. luge of bullshit, so it's been really getting on my nerves lately, but I'm sure everything's going to clear up soon, just generally in the country. Things seem to

be trending upwards and all, so. At least you're fly out in 2020. Imagine all those delays back in like the 60s, when you had to like, there was no phone to play on an iPad to watch movies on. You just had, you had to wear a suit and everyone was smoking around. Of course, you'd be smoking too. Yes.

Before we get the show, I want to talk about the New York's Dunstcat mayoral race for a little bit because, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's the, uh, the comedic relief we all deserve. So Zora Mondami did a, like a, like a scavenger hunt with like thousands of people going around learning about, uh, you know, uh, New York mayoral trivia or something yesterday, which of course, everybody hated that because it was fun. Uh, and also like, I imagine that, like, the New York Post ran a headline about like, you know, call it a huma scavenger hunt or some shit. Like, it's like, you know, you know what else is a scavenger? Vultures. Where do you live?

The desert. Just like, I. ISIS. You know, it's going to do that. Andrew Cuomo somehow accidentally hired a Nazi to make memes for him than immediately fired him. So that was fine. But that doesn't even rate today because I want to talk about Eric Adams for a second. So Mamdami, who is constantly viral, is sort of like the lesson the Democratic establishment has learned is like they should be more on the Internet. So here's Eric Adams trying to be more online.

I've got this video, Matt. Reported to 3.1, down, down, down, down. That's what happens when you leave the purpose. have been unmasched hatred for rats and garbage like I have. He's putting, he's working a mission, like basically doing a press conference about rats in front of a mission accomplished banner. Right.

Yeah, in New York. Like, I don't know. The rats are never going to lose that war. You know, I'm pretty sure. No.

Surrender, buddy. Like, fucking surrender to the rats. So, but I have my favorite most New York thing you ever seen. I took a, I was got like a two-month gig in New York. I took a red-eye flight.

I got there on Monday morning, went straight to work. So I landed the airport and get off the subway in Manhattan, right? So I haven't been outdoors yet because early in the morning. And I see get off the subway and I see a rat who had suffocated to death on the side of a trash bag. I'm like, New York, baby, love it. All right. So, Avogatles, of course, basically got complete immunity from all his federal charges. But it doesn't have from the Trump administration to cooperate with whatever bullshit they wanted to do.

Another reason they have to vote him out. which they know that he's pulling like 8% right now. So, like, he got, another random indictments came down for his staff, though, this week, including one I want to talk about. One by the name of Ingrid Lewis Martin, who's been his, like, right-hand woman for, like, over two decades. She got another, she'd been indicted before

for, like, connected to, like, straw donations from the Chinese, like, hidden straw donations from Chinese Communist Party or some shit. She gets, uh, Ingrid Lewis Martin, she got indicted for the bribe, the stuff she did include stuff like fast-track a permit for a karaoke bar and what she got was a speaking role, one of the things she got was a speaking role

on Godfather of Harlem. That's a pretty sweet deal, you know? Yeah, I just like, I don't even think these charts, these charges wouldn't stand up federally because it's too penny annie, but it's just so fucking tacky.

If you got this video, Matt, here's her appearance on Godfather of Harlem up, acting against the guy playing. What's a guy? I can't, what can't think of the actor's name? You'll see you a second of him. Hi Bumpy

Is he going to be? Forrest Whitaker Mm-hmm Yeah, she says She just had a Forrest Whitaker playing Bumpy Johnson in a bar Oh, that's it, that's the whole lot Yeah, that's a whole thing Yeah And for that she got, she caught a federal charge

For getting paid $800 in a sag day scale Her son is involved Like the main person made the most profit here Seems to be her son who DJs under the name Swab Luciano, which of course he does. And he got a car out of it. Now, you want to talk about cynicism here. So the ad of administration and part of the rightward swing has been complained about New York City being forced to taking a bunch of migrants, right, which they had put up in hotels. What she apparently

did was rig for these hotel contracts, these hotel shelter contracts, to go to donors exchange for money to Baltors on a car. So while they're railing against this, they're doing corruption in the back end of it, allegedly, right? Another deeply funny scandal connected to this. another Eric Adams advisor of the name Winnie Greco who resigned from his administration or connections to him after she got hit. She was like a possible part

of the Chinese straw donor scheme to steal campaign funds from the city of New York. She tried to pay off a reporter. She gave a reporter an open bag of potato chips that the reporter thought was just a bag of potato chips.

The reporter declined to take the bag of potato chips you're not even supposed to take that. Right. Yeah, well also well no, I wouldn't because I'm a fat fuck who loves potato chips.

of potatoes. But I feel like if you think you're being offered a half-eaten, open bag of potato chips from a person, you know, it would be most people's default response to be like, thanks, I'm good. That's okay. Like, was it money in it? Is that what it was? Like, it was like a bribe or something?

So after Winnie Greco is they used the Eric Adams affiliated woman, insisted on the reporter taking the bag of chips and walking away, she's like shoved in her chest and walked away. The reporter looked in it after she walked a few blocks. and found a red envelope with a hundred and, like, $40 cashed in, like, $100 bill. $140? Yeah. What? I mean, I don't know.

I thought it was going to be more. That's like a scene from a movie sort of like a bribed hidden in a bag of potato. It got you a little something. I heard you were hungry, you know, whatever, but it's wink, it's money. But 140 bucks is like, I don't know, like in a fantasy league entry fee or something. And like, what kind of corruption is that? Dinner for three at an Outbacked Steakhouse. Right.

He's a risky career for it. So, so there was a reporter called Winnie Greco back. It's like, I can't take this. I have to give this back to you. And eventually found her gave her money back to her, in which case she got extremely apologetic. And when her lawyers asked about it, her lawyer's last name is Brill. I can see how this looks strange, Brill said, but I assure you that Winnie's intent was

purely innocent. In the Chinese culture, money is often given to others an gesture of friendship and gratitude so from the city that brought you the state sorry that brought you Andrew Cuomo's defensive I'm not a pervert I'm Italian we get that fresh defense it's not bribery I'm Chinese yeah it's just what we do it's fun I was actually kind of thinking about this sort of thing earlier because on one of my flights today I watched

until I fell asleep about two hours into it of course I've seen it before I was rewatching casino the Martin Scorsese movie from 95 and there's a scene in there where a Nevada state senators, not a U.S. senator, but a state senator in Nevada comes to their casino and they get him like a hooker and a mountain of cocaine and stuff because they're like, you know, it's the type of guy you want to keep happy. You know, and I was just thinking about how like,

just, I don't know, how corruption at all level, like that seems like such a nothing level of politics to me, state, like state level politics and somewhere like Nevada or whatever. but um and i know that that movie is not a documentary but i'm just saying like you know like they still get i don't know they just get corrupted so easily and it's always some bullshit going on at every single level of it it seems like so it's no wonder that the situation the overall system is you know got so many warts on it and everything well you i mean like it didn't like i don't remember it ever being this usually when these scandals happen they're scandals like they

bring down people right right now they just happen everybody's like well what are you going to do Eric Adams got free stuff from the Turkish government now we all just like know about it right but like so Eric Adams was asked about Winnie Greco and he said

when asked about these findings the mayor deflected and downplated relationship to Greco saying you hadn't spoken to her about the allegations when I see her I say nihal

you know that's hello he told the press oh God I'm missing okay so Winnie Greco is actually Asian or whatever I know she was like the liaison to the

okay right I think she's originally from China yeah all right okay well let's get into a producer matt is here doing this thing behind the scenes back here this is weekly skews before we continue of course uh would like to hit you with some business as i often read always do if you want to see me do stand-up comedy live and in person you should go to tray crowder dot com and check out my upcoming tour days thanks to everybody who came out to st louis missouri this past weekend was a lot of fun up next we got upstate new york connecticut most of the

Now, let's get into it, and let's go ahead and start the way we always do. This has been one of my favorite subjects in some time recently. Let's begin with this week's Daily Dumbass.

Matt, graphic, please. Today's D.D. The gay communist for thinking we wouldn't catch them trying to wokeify the sausage gravy. Here we go. You know what it is. Company infested with left-ling activists who are more interested in safe spaces,

pronouns, and virtue signaling than they are in their customers. I think the best way to start is by totally what you've been funding if you've gone to Cracker Barrel in recent years. Oh, Pride. Yes.

Cracker Barrel is a proud sponsor of Nashville Pride and have been part of it for over a day. All participating. So, this whole Crackerbell thing is really fucking insane, dog. Yeah.

That's Robbett's a conservative mentor by the name of Robbie Starbuck who used to direct music videos. Like, he directed like videos for ACOD and the Smashing Pumpkins. And then his career fell off. And like 10 years later when he hadn't worked, he's like, wait a minute,

because I'm conservative. I've been canceled. So, yeah, give me quote here from Robbie Starbuck, Christian cannot give their money to crack a barrel, and so we won't. This is about a logo change, the most fucking boring, innocuous logo change. And like, usually this stuff, like, I always think it's stupid, but if I squint, I can see it. Right. I know, I agree completely.

That's what I was, I just posted a stand-up clip from one of the shows I did this weekend, because I was talking about this on stage this weekend, because I agree. with you completely it's like i don't know what obviously the joke everyone made you know they took both the cracker and the barrel out of the logo or whatever but if y'all haven't seen it they essentially i mean that's what they did they removed the the dude and the barrel and and redid the font and just made it very bland and boring and it's like i also think that it sucks like i don't like the new the rebrand or that new logo but i just think it sucks in like a soulless boring corporate minimalism type of way i don't understand what's supposed to be

you know woke about it's also again it's funny one of the things i said was like y'all really think that like their board of directors got together and was like listen guys if we don't succumb to the pressure of the woke mob then cracker barrel may not survive you know like the idea that they in particular would first of all who's still catering to wokeness right now in 2025, you know, like posting the election and everything. It's been going the other direction. They somehow haven't noticed. Yeah. They haven't noticed they won. Like it's like, like, so like, like, like, I'm looking at like, so they apparently this, I guess the guy in the rock and in the chair next to the barrel is supposed to be a farmer, but like, why do we think he's white? He's fucking yellow. Has he been white this whole time? I never thought about it. But he, but yeah, you're right.

Like, it's like, the new logo is like, it's just like this corporate and shitification. of everything becomes the same. Right. Nobody likes that, but it's all alone by the same five people. What do you want? Right. It's also like if you all noticed, if you look around like, you know, used to, like when we were younger and shit, like pizza huts, the buildings, I mean, they looked, you know,

hut-y or whatever. They had like a distinctive look like a pizza hut did. And a lot of those buildings, and if you look at them all now, they're all just like square boxes with the same. Like, it's all just, like you said, the inshittification of every, it's all just becoming just as one of more. as fucking, you know, mega corp dystopia or whatever.

And this just feels like another version of that. But it's not fucking woke, though. Yeah, it's like we were told that communism what leads to a dearth of choices. But then every restaurant has the same fucking hamburger with rear cheese on it. Right. Well, and do you know, I'm not trying to, like, derail this

because it's directly related, I feel like. But I was reading that about how all the restaurants look the same in the buildings and stuff. The reason for that is because then, you know, they can be released to other, you know, restaurants without having to make modifications and stuff. So it's all about just like, you know. I understand why Pizza Hut would find it more appealing for a business standpoint to not try to try to, like, figure a way to unload businesses when the restaurants fail that look like, you know, Tiki Hut's built out of Red Legos or whatever. I fucking understand that. Right.

But like, so like, but anyway, that's just like deeply as like culturally as. an American, like, the fact that we all hang our cultural identity on brands feels more soulless and decrepit than anything I could fucking say. Like, first of all, Cracker Barrel, their brand is built on nostalgia, but the chain was found in 1969. It was at no point a chain of old country stores. It was built for a generation whose grandparents have a vague recollection of going to old country stores when they were children.

Right. So they're essentially having nostalgia for nostalgia? Mm-hmm. Like, I don't fucking know what to make of this. And, like, but no matter how fucking soulless and depressing and stupid this is and how based on nothing it is, everybody felt the need to go insane about it. I want to start here with a tweet from Hillsdale College. If you don't know what Hillsdale is, they post, I've made a post with a photo comparison, the new Cracker Barrel logo, with a statue of George Washington with red paint splashed on it. I mean, what?

What the fuck? How? Yeah, right. Like what, like what, literally what is that even trying to say? Just these are two things that we hate here at Hillsdale College, you know? It's like, it's like they've destroyed a tradition. But hanging over all this is like they discovered that like Crackerbell's CEO is, she's been CEO for a couple years. It is a white woman with glasses, so therefore woke, right? So if you wonder why Hillsdale College is wearing in on this, they're conservative private school who's basically like devry for future congressmen and state senators, he'll be arrested at gloryholes.

So, Byron Donald's, probably had the funniest take on this, the Republican congressman from Florida, he tweeted, I mean, read this to you, in college, I worked at Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee. I even gave my life to Christ in their parking lot. I gave my life to Christ in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. Yeah. Stop giving Morgan Wallin's song ideas, man. Fucking, like a country hit.

It also sounds like that's literally like the, I find. famous office quote or whatever, the, you know, the, I feel God in this Chili's tonight. Yeah. He unironically did that, but at a cracker barrel, apparently. I can't even figure out the sequence of events that would lead to, like, someone finding God of Christ and a cracker bottle parking lot. Like, because he says he used to work there. Like, did he get, like, a Sunday shift tip for a prayer card instead of money and it worked? That would infuriate me as a former server, because that was nothing we ever hated more of that.

Because that would, that happened all the time. Sometimes those motherfuckers would even, it would be made to look like a, like a $5 bill or a $20 bill or something. And then you've unfolded it and inside it's got like a Bible verse and it's like give your life to the Lord. And it's not actual money. It's like, okay, I'll see if my landlord will take this. You know, it's like, the idea of someone doing that and it actually working just makes me want everyone involved to die. Let me read this tweet from Annapoleon Aluna, another Florida congresswoman. Budlight, Target, Disney, Jaguar, now Cracker Barrel.

One by one, once great American companies are self-destructing with woke rebrands. The Jaguar thing is based upon D. But she does an American company, a company that literally has, like, their narrating their commercials is a British person who pronounces a Jaguar. Like, like, these people are like, oh, my God, they fucking drive me insane. Chris Rufo, basically the lizard brain that are helping the party right now, right-hand think tank guy for Ron DeSantis tweeted, quote, all right, I'm hearing chat from behind the scenes about the cracker barrel campaign, and on second thought, we must break the barrel.

They're going to fucking try to put a cracker barrel out of business. Here's the thing. Cracker barrel is already headed out of business. That's why they're doing the fucking rebrand. They lost half their value in the last five years, and this is based on the nostalgic revidence for people who can only remember having eaten there as kids, and they think that's going to fix it, but they don't even eat there anymore. If they ate there, they wouldn't be losing money.

They wouldn't be rebranding. do you think that I it to them it was like uh you know like the zoom or whatever the kids the next generation it's like you know they don't think old people are cool this whole like folksy country thing is like not ever going to appeal to zoomers and gen alpha and stuff so that's that's you know so let's just become you know just a boring biscuit place or something my understanding is like the whole this whole sector of like restaurants is struggling like the casual sit down place because if you just want you want casual you just grab Topolay if you want sit down you go place nicer right so like this it's not just them but like but they they're one of those companies and like like but also there's a there's a part of it that like they like crackable added booze I guess trying to pivot from like people stopping for breakfast and lunch on long drives trying to get the mimosa morning hotel crowd or something I don't really understand it that's their business it's not mine right

but like they they this is a story from a year ago from May of last year why is cracker barrel rebranding keeping nostalgia becoming relevant again as a challenge marketing expert says no shit right they're going to get fucking firebomb because they tried to they're brand built in nostalgia that tried to rebrand to focus on zoomers right like how you you you want this business to commit suicide to keep catering to 60 year olds who don't eat there anymore right um like like let me quote here from a from a marketing expert I think nostalgia makes this hard it be dumb but I do think it makes it harder and I'm coming back from the future to tell this guy. It made it fucking impossible. This is an environment like, like, so Target also just got hit with a, it's a softer quieter boycott organized by a pastor in Georgia, I think, over there. They canceled DEI policies after Trump took office. And they've lost like $12 billion and their CEO just like, quote unquote, step down for a seat on the board, whatever. They're trying to figure out what the fuck to do. But like, we're basically in a culture war in America where no, I would

advise everybody. If I'm your McKinsey consultant, here's some free advice here. No one changed anything until after Trump dies. Right. Yeah. Change just ain't it. But you said it was a pastor in Georgia. But the target thing, they got, they got boycotted like by the left, right? Because of succumbing to Trump.

That's what I said. Right. That's what I said. Yeah. They got rid of their first boycotted by conservatives for having like, you know. Gay sections and stuff. Yeah. Gay stuffed animals.

They had a rainbow pillow. Black, nutcrack. or dolls and shit like that that people got all mad about. Yeah, right. And then so they went, but I just feel like it, I mean, I agree with you that you, yeah, just don't change anything. Change don't hear for people in this country. But like, I also just feel, I don't know how to put it.

Like, to me, Target, I feel like they should have known that that way. It's like, I feel like it's kind of a case by case basis. It depends on like what your brain, you know, demographic is or whatever, which is why I just don't see how this move from Cracker Barrel would make. sense as actually being an attempt at wotness from them. You know, I just don't buy that that's what they were doing. Again, they obviously fucked up clearly, but I just, no part of me thinks that that was the motivation for this at all.

It was just an attempt to, like, to be blander. Yeah, modernize or whatever. Yeah. So, so like, but they think there's some sort of conspiracy here. And I'm here to tell you that there might be a conspiracy. It's just not the one anyone thinks it is, right? So, um, right? Turns out, so jumping in on this outrage was a activist investor from San Antonio named Sardar Big Lari.

I think I'm pronounced that correct. He's originally from Iran, I think. He owns Shake Shack, which, though, you know, has gone all in on the conservative side of this culture war to try to save their business, which is not really worried. Wait, no, no, no, steak and shake, right? Steak and Shake, yeah, sorry, what did I say? You said Shake Shack. Sorry, yeah. I mean, those are easy to mix up, but yeah, but Steak and Shakes is the one that's, like, been like, you know, RFK Jr. says we can have beef tallow fries now, and by God,

that's what we're going to do and all that type of shit. Yeah. So he owns a chunk of a Cracker Barrel. He's been trying to buy more and more stake in the company. Like, we currently owns 9.3% or 2 million shares. He's tried and failed four times over span of last 14 years to win a seat in Cracker Barrel's board. One of his director nominees was elected last year of the company's support after he filed a bunch of lawsuits. So they wouldn't give him a seat, but they gave someone he picked a seat, right?

Let me quote from him, what's shocking is over the last 20 years, it's lost more than a third of its customer traffic, be Laurie said during an annual meeting for his own polling fund. That's because you had two decades where the CEO did not know the customer. The cracker-brew customer is not a mimosa drinking plant-based, sausage-eating, pot-smoking liberal journalist. Right. That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

Yeah. But their customer base is no one. That's the problem. They don't know one fucking eats. Well, look. So on that, obviously, this is an, they're around the whole country and it doesn't matter. But, dude, like, I'm not surprised. It was stupid.

It wasn't woke. There was no reason for them to get outraged. But I'm not surprised that this company in particular was the subject of their ire when they perceived some wokeness. Because, like, if me and my in-law, like, if we go back home to Tennessee, everybody's, like, Christmas shopping and outside Nashville or something, my in-laws and Katie's, like, we're eating at Cracker Barrel. Like, it's just not even, you know, taken into consideration. That's just where they go. And it's like, people, I feel like Cracker Barrel, at least used to. like where I'm from and with people I went to like cop that used to have kind of an own little like

cult of personality around it like not quite again not like the level of waffle house which is funny to say but it's like but it's it's a thing and I for the record I always thought it was like pretty overrated in terms of that but um I don't know I've just the only I've I've I know that a certain type of people seems to love cracker bro you know crackers really but uh but yeah and it's just not the people like that guy just said you know it's not the pot smoking liberal journalist crowd or whatever so again but my point with that is i that that's how i know or feel like i know that that isn't what they were doing is what i'm trying to say i'm not saying like it was so stupid of them to go woke considering what their demo is i'm saying like that makes me fully believe that that

isn't you know what happened because there's nothing woke about just a shitty bland logo you know just the absence of a papal equals woteness, I guess. They're also like, like, so they redecorated the inside of the inside of Cracker Barrel was all like like Choshkies and knickknacks and like reclaimed barnwood, okay? Those are artifacts

from the early 1900s and late 1800s. There are no one's making any more of them. Right. So you cannot find new reclaimed barnwood because no one's building new old fucking barns, you fucking morons. They're just out of the shit. Anyway, so going back to be glory for a second. I'm not saying you astroturf this whole campaign.

That would explain. the fucking Hillsdale College and like Congress people talking about it. But like I, it's more like this genre of person, this culture, this like Twitter culture warrior thing that's able to drive fucking discourse to an insane degree. They're basically so brainless. They basically function like a bot army where someone says this is woke and they all jump in on it. No one can explain what the fuck is woke about it.

100%. That's 100% exactly what happened. Yeah. It's like a hive mind situation with them. Anyway, it's also fucking ridiculous. but we got an honorable mention for Daily Dumbass for you now, and it is anyone who thinks they can outrun ICE agents who are trained in the ways of whatever this is.

This time, Bing Kane isn't flying there. He's going through that obstacle course and training to be an honorary ice agent. He was working hard out there, and this is exactly what those recruits will do as their pick one-by-one. He's a couple of law enforcement training center in Brunswick, Georgia. My man, he's saying he's like 60, right?

He's like 59. Yeah, but he's not. even try hard for a 59-year-old. And also, she says they're training to be an honorary ice agent? What, like, can you re-rejected him for being an honor? I thought he joined ice. Me too. I thought the same thing.

I also keyed in on what she said. I was like, Wade, he's doing all this to be an honorary. Because I, like you said, I was like, I thought he literally just joined up. But I thought an honorary something meant like, we're just going to call you this and you don't have to do anything. You know, because we like you or whatever. Yeah. U.S. Marshals gave Trump earlier today, like an honorary

U.S. Marshal beds, like you give a little kid when they visit the police station. I was like, this is very similar to that. So, but anyway, Dean Keynes basically, I want to for those who are watching the video version, I want to emphasize that this is the best take they could get. Yeah. It's him leisurely climbing over a fence

crawling through a drainage pipe and dragging a dummy that's I guess supposed to simulate caring of resisting human beings, so that's obviously too light to be a person. Right. So he was practicing for nothing.

It's like, this is like the American version of those Al-Qaeda monkeys bars videos. Yeah. I was trying to like, like the, like the Special Olympics had porcour or the other thing. The other, the other joke I came out was American Ninja Saurier. That's what I came over.

But I watched it like, they're arch friendly for the real job, though, because I watched the video from D.C. where ice agent tried to like suplex the bike delivery driver and smacked his own head against the asphalt and then tried to cry and blame the guy for it. And I was like, okay, this is exactly what you did. Like, these fucking, uh, lowered standards are really, they did, anyway, they're making

content for the rest of it. Here's a, uh, photo, uh, ice in Portland tried to paint a line that's like, in the sidewalk where you can't protest pass. And they spelled government without the end. So ice painted US government property right there. So yeah, we're really, we're hitting on all cylinders. Um, I wanted to, so, we've got to speed through this. We want to get a couple more, uh, immigration.

correction correct on updates before he gets to the main part of the show um they're trying to deport keelmore or brigo de garcia again they took him into custody today right didn't they didn't they he just somewhat recently got like released right and then they and then they had to come in for a meeting or something they just put him right back in custody or some shit right so they basically hit him with a uh you know they hit him with that bullshit human trafficking charge in tennessee a couple months ago so he got released on like like bond for that that ice is like okay well they've been trying to get him to plead guilty to this bullshit charge. They know they can't prove in court. The reason I know they can't prove in court

is what they're, they can't prove in court is what they're telling him is like, if you plead guilty, we will deport you to Costa Rica. Remember, he's, he's Venezuelan, I think, so I don't know why they pick Costa Rica. But if you plead guilty, we'll deport you to Costa Rica where you at least kind of be a free person, you're close to your family can visit. But if you, if you fight us in the charges, we'll just ship you straight to fucking Uganda right now. So this is like textbook constitutional bullshit. You can't pressure someone to like give up their constitutional right to a trial. by threatening them with a worse outcome from illegal proceeding.

You're not supposed to be able to fucking do it. So anyway, the amount of resources, the federal government's deploying to try to destroy the life of this one guy because they deported him because of a mistake they already admitted is fucking insane. Yeah, I know. It sucks. It's just so petty and vindictive and shitty. I mean, yeah, and he's just some dude.

He's just some regular guy that's like become, you know, gotten under the microscope and now they're just making his life a living hell and you know that's ongoing it's not like it's over yet for anybody like it could stand to get even worse yeah and it's like he's the one he got arrested because of the one the word of a cop city was a gang in new york a place where he's never banned that cop together got fired for i guys giving investigation secrets to a prostitute um so allegation alcatraz uh is ordered to be to stop construction slash closed shortly, I guess, or they're going to fight in court, of course, because of an environmental impact review because of the Masoki tribe sued them now. I'm glad it stopped for whatever reason.

I don't doubt the Masoki tribe's motivations here. They hunt and prey on this land, use of religious ceremonies. But I just like they were all trapped in the same hell that no one anywhere can ever build anything because of environmental impact studies and review. Yeah, but that's what makes me think that, like, I don't know, like, you know, they, they don't even want there to be like an EPA or any of that stuff anymore, you know. And also they seem to just not care about courts and stuff like that. So the specific context of not just a court telling them, you got to not have this anymore, but that it's for these, you know,

super gay, environmental, Indian-related reasons. It just feels like, you know, that will just make them especially inclined to not to be shitheads about it, essentially, you know. No, I just like, it's just like, you know, I'm becoming this as a person who lives in California for a long time where like someone would try to build like a like a apartment building of affordable housing and it'll get struck down by somebody else some rich person doesn't want apartments in the neighborhood will sue for quote unquote environmental reasons because they don't want to destroy a historic parking lot or some shit.

Right. So but I do think that it's like like the idea that like the human rights abuses, you know what can figure out a way to sue over that. But we've got a judge to say that your rape dungeon needs low flow toilets if you want to build it. Yeah. Also, one last thing on Alligator, Aquitraz. The contractors are using seem to be connected to a lot of allegations of fraud. And let me read a couple examples here.

One recently agreed to a multi-million dollar settlement addressing allegations that had sold U.S. federal government products made up prohibited countries like China. Another shares talked to executives with two businessmen that were accused by ex-employees of filing inflated hurricane insurance claims in federally declared disaster areas, which you're going to get all that into store disaster capitalism. Here's the one that really hit for me, though.

A third allowed armed Mexican nationals with no legal immigration status to be brought into the United States by a subcontract to provide security for its work building a border wall as part of a federal contract. So we're hiring companies that have used Sikarios for security with no legal status. We're hiring Mexican mercenaries on our projects in the United States to help to aid in deporting Mexican gardeners and pipe fitters and shit. Yeah, no. It's a little on the nose. It's because, you know, people always point out all the time that, you know, all of these rich white conservative assholes or whatever, you know, employ illegal immigrants and the businesses they own or to work on their property and shit like that all the time. But like, yeah, getting armed illegal immigrants to corral the, like, you know, what do they do? They get rid of, like, the first, they corral them first, and then now it's like, oh, we got them all here. in one place, and then they just, you know, just chucked them into the alligator pond, too.

So we bring in armed illegal Mexicans to round the unarmed illegal Mexicans, all right? So now how do we get rid of the armed illegal Mexicans? Okay, we got to bring in some armed illegal Colombians. We got to level up, right? It's like the old Simpson bit where you bring in the snakes to eat the rats and you bring in the tigers to eat the snakes. And you bring it. Well, it is funny, too, that that's how they, you know, presented the whole thing to the populace. Like when Biden was the president, it's like they're letting in all these.

armed, dangerous, you know, illegal immigrants. And it's like, so what we're going to do to combat that is we're going to get a whole bunch of other armed dangerous, you know, illegal immigrants that are on our side and sick them on each other. Actually, I mean, hell, they'd probably be pretty much fine with that, I guess. Yeah. But, all right. So I want to talk about today a throwout of stories, basically about the Troy administration

declaring war on everyone around the globe all at once and how the fuck. they think they're going to do it, all right? They started with Occupying D.C. Now, Trump did this thing where he was, like, he told Todd Starns, he was going to go out and patrol with the National Guard. And as far as I can tell, I did was give a little pep talk to a few National Guard soldiers,

but here's here's, here's, Todd Starns, conservative influencer, being really excited after he talked to Trump. Does the president have a gun? Are they going to let him pay somebody? I want to see my president, say somebody tonight. That's what I want to see.

Does the president have a gun? Just say to them. Yeah, no, the cruelty is the point. Yeah, no, I mean, they really do. They would love that, dude. Like, if Donald Trump tase some, you know, just some, it wouldn't, they didn't know context at all. It was like brown or a black dude, it who just was in part of the street of D.C. or

whatever, and Donald Trump viciously tased him, that shit would do crazy numbers, bro. They would fucking, they'd all get erections over that. They'd love that shit. That's a part of this late. If you turn it on, like, CNN or MSNBC or Fox, they'll be talking about crime and I try it down on crime. They totally accept his, like, you know, bullshit fucking justification, even though he doesn't even really mean it. But if you look at actual conservative media, what they're sharing is videos of, like, ICE and the feds just beating the shit out of people who were, like, riding to work on bicycles. Right.

Like, that's not, they're not looking at crime. Someone, someone who's doing about these gang members, and it was kids riding a, it was a kid riding a four-wheel down a street. Again, going back to the whole fucking popping wheelies thing. so Trump he said this other day talking about like he's still repeating the crime thing even if no one else even if

no one including his own supporters really believes them if you got this man but in the last 11 days we've had no murders and that's the first time that's taken place in years we always have a murder a week they go to murder a week

you come here from Iowa you come here from Indiana you come here from Idaho because you're so proud of your country, you love your country, and then you get murdered, you get murdered. You get murdered. You get murdered. You get murdered. You get murdered. Many of you. So you come in from all the states to start with Iowa, Indiana, Idaho. And then you go, like, so we've all seen all the, the planes loaded with flag-draped coffins being sent back to Iowa from people that just wanted to fucking go to the Smithsonian. Yeah. All those field trips every year that all those schools take to, you know, the, the mountain and the the mall and the monuments and all that stuff. It's like what people don't realize is that only 30% of those kids make it back on average per year. The rest of them are murdered by D.C. gang members.

And everybody up until Trump shut up was just totally fine with that. Oddly, you'd think that that sort of thing would have been frowned upon by, you know, any administration or any living person if that were happening. But it took a strong man like Donald Trump to take charge. But, yeah, he's saying, oh, this is going great in D.C. right. So now we're going to do it in a bunch of other places, too. Isn't that what he's saying? Yeah, they're saying Chicago's next.

They're also, like, I think it's up to 19 states that are deployed in D.C. right now, the National Guard deploy, which we'll get to because it's more ridiculous. Like, National Guard is doing the least. Like, they're not even, like, do, they're just standing around, right? Like, they weren't even armed until last night, which they shouldn't be armed because they don't need to be armed. There's no fucking shootouts happening. Right. But that's, though, it's funny.

It's like, they, they, the idea that Trump, that Trump tried to say the same thing on January. a six to walk around D.C. and the Secret Service absolutely would not let him do it because you can't let the president walk around a bunch of on-armed people, even if they're National Guard. One crazy weekend warrior shoots the president, right? It's not outside the probable possibilities. On military bases, they don't have free access to guns. You've got to sign those motherfuckers out, you know? So they also started trying to train the D.C. National Guard on the, the, the military version of the SIGSARP-320. Remember we talked about them a couple weeks ago, the guns that automatically go off

by themselves. Right. So they have the National Guard carried the guns that shoot by themselves, and they wanted them, the Trump to hang out around them. So a lot of fun possibilities happening there. Trump's on an executive order today expanding the National Guard's like

city occupying capabilities, which basically the National Guard's trading stuff like, you know, support role stuff. Like if you deploy them overseas, they're doing like, they're driving trucks and distributing supplies. You know, they're not doing combat shit. Right. And it's like

when they get deployed to American cities usually it's like for sandbags and you know, and supplies and logistics and shit like that, right? Facilitating recovery efforts and things like that, not cracking down on anything. Or they do patrols and like

times of hardcore civil strife, which they use them for lower bars and that but they're not supposed to. But they don't, they're not authorized like shooting anybody. I just stand around looking like army people. will be like, hey, curfew, go home, right? So, but yeah, the number here is 1,700 National Guard Troops in 19 states. So they're all coming from Republican-controlled states, of course.

But, like, the idea that, like, this seems like a lot of fucking bullshit. They could obviously be used for horrific stuff. And if any Democrat wants to get ahead of this, something fucked up is going to happen eventually because it always does. So, like, if you want to be ahead of public outrage, you could be on the right side of stuff now, or you can just fucking wait like cowards until you seem like you're late to the party. But so of these 1,700 troops like

Governor Joe Lombardo from Nevada has sent 35 National Guard people to help DHS with clerical administrative and logistical support. The Idaho National Guard sent 14 people to do administrative to help do data entry for ICE. So like the idea

if they're trying to scare people, it's ice that scares I mean, it's not the fucking National Guard. At the same time, Trump's doing this. Like, he appears to be moving forward with attacks on the Mexican drug cartels. So if you're going to be deploying the National Guard, it should probably be to the border, although I don't really understand,

I agree with doing any of this stuff. But according to Ken Klippenstein, United States has already been running, Kim Kippenstein's an independent national security reporter. U.S. is already running covert operations out of its embassy in Mexico city via Special Operations Command forward Mexico. which coordinates with CIA and FBI representatives in-country. But they, like, keep it quiet to respect Mexico's sovereignty,

and they work with the Mexican federalities, the Mexican and Mexican and Mexican-intelligence stuff. I mean, isn't that, that's, I'm literally basing this on the Netflix series Narcos. But isn't that, like, kind of a setup that's been, you know, ongoing for a long time? Like, DEA and CIA agents and stuff like that, who kind of working in the shadows in Mexico with all this drug cartels. shit. Well, the DEA supplies like a lot of intelligence

to Mexican federal police. They're not supposed to operate really. Since you're talking about the show, that's about the real life killing of Kiki Camerino, right? But that's when, because they killed DIA agent who was just there like doing intel stuff,

that escalated. Yeah, right. That did cause of, like, so Mexico let America do more shit to keep a lead on. But it's not great for Mexican politics to have America fucking meddling like this. Of course.

But like Northcom, which is, we'll talk about in a second. They hosted some Mexican generals in July. So so far, Mexico's cooperating and they're going along with it. But what they're building up to, and we'll talk about Venezuela in a little bit, seems to be more than that. It's something that's not going to be tenable for Mexican-American relations. So the people that are going to end up being charged with this,

here's a fun little side plot. Soak North, Special Operations Command North, which is the, you know, special ops commands are divided the world up into, like, various regions they're responsible for. But I know, like, you got one group in charge of operations in, like, you know, North, Middle East, North Africa. You got some in Europe that are fighting in Ukraine right now. You got, you know, people fight, like, terror groups and, like, Philippines and shit. And then you got North, Soak North, which is responsible for, like, North America.

Yeah. Then you got shit to do, Tray. Right. Until now. They just built the new $55 million headquarters at Peterson Space Force based in Colorado. So if you want to feel useless, being Navy SEAL headquartered at a Space Force base in Colorado. Yeah.

I mean, literally what do they do there? You know, like, what are they doing at Space Force base in Colorado? Like, I sometimes forget the Space Force actually did actually become a thing. And there are people who are in the Space Force and stuff. But like, what do they be doing? there was a space force civil intelligence guy who just got sent to jail for murder

why space force has signals intelligence I can't quite fucking figure out but like so this guy who was responsible for like I guess intercepting communications from other countries

space forces that don't exist was a caught two teams breaking into his car chase them off with the gun chase them down in his car shot them both in the back and then became a conservative like icon because how

this guy can't defend his property no you can't chase down teens and execute them right for doing property crimes sorry it's not something we do in a lawful society you call the cops and you say hey so you follow an insurance report so anyway but that's what space force does they mostly go crazy because they have nothing to do and shoot kids in the back um yep that checks so what so what soke north has been doing is like they've did they've been doing stuff like they do a little bit of stuff from the border in mexico they've been doing like drug interdiction

efforts in like the caribbean with like alongside the bahamanian police and shit so like not stuff not stuff you go through buds and become a seal to do, right? They have also been engaged in Arctic training exercises, like Arctic for Arctic warfare. Like, like, here they are. There's them trading under a region special force in the Arctic. Because the idea was like, okay, well, we've got to find something to do to look busy. We'll get ready for war in the Arctic with China and Russia. Mm-hmm.

Right. But now they got a war to fight in Mexico, and God damn, they're fucking horny for it, all right? So these are the guys we're going to unleash on a Mexican cartels, quote-unquote cartels. because they're fucking bored. So let's talk about people talking about Venezuela for a little bit. Here's Pam Bondi last week talking about Nicholas Maduro, the president of Venezuela. Today, the Department of Justice and State Department are announcing a historic $50 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Nicholas Maduro. All right.

He's in Venezuela. Can I have $50 million? like what the fuck does this do like like what is it supposed to happen now how do i how do you collect this bounty i don't know is it they're trying to incentivize somebody like someone that's in his inner circle in venezuela to you know turn coat defect something like that or to start manning a coup but like here's like here's like here's the part that kills me here i'm like a lot of this stuff is like they would not be the first american administration to a coup in Venezuela, not even probably the fifth or sixth.

But they do the normal American fucking evil empire shit, but they're so clumsy and stupid at it that it bumblefucks into like nothingness, which is, I guess, is good. I'd rather do this than actually do a coup in Venezuela. But like, the way you do a coup in Venezuela is you come with a pretext to meet one of his, like, more ambitious generals, or a couple of them at a bank in Panama under a fake, but they were like under a cover of a ruse, right? And then you offer them the $50 million. and asylum if the coup fails.

You don't go on TV. But you know what dumbness is? The 50 million is just, all he did was up it from 25 million that Joe Biden had offered. You're right. What is there, like what crimes or whatever they, you know, they want him to be brought to justice for? And like, as far as the American government goes. I know that he's been like persona non grata and he don't hit and all that commie shit and stuff for a long time. But like, what's he?

what's he done? Like what do they want to, you know, him to pay for? What is the pretext or what's the real reason? Well, I'd love to hear both, I think. All right. Well, the pretext is so there's something, there's a thing that exists called the Cartel of the Sun, which runs drugs

from Columbia through Venezuela to the Caribbean into, I guess, the United States, and it has a lot of Mexican military people involved in it. I mean, Venezuela and military, sorry, involved in it. And so they're alleging that Nicholas Maduro is the head of the cartel of the Sun, which he might very well getting paid off of it. I just can't quite give a shit because again the drugs are coming from columbia and going to the

united states drugs drugs are coming in the united states because americans want to get due drugs right yeah uh not because of the actions of the middleman in that whole situation and they're coming from columbia which is an ally of the united states where we train all their special forces using our green berets who keep getting arrested for dealing drugs smuggling drugs and so like like i just like i have a hard time getting mad like like like you talk about venezuela the drug as far as how drug-producing countries go, I think 90% of the world's cocaine comes, or America's cocaine comes from Colombia.

Another combination of countries make up the other 10%. One of them is Venezuela, but they're not remotely the problem. And so, like, it's just like, but what Venezuela does have a lot of is oil reserves. Right. They have about as much oil as Iraq, so you can do the math there. It's also just like, the fact they have a socialist in charge,

you know, it doesn't hit for them. And Maduro does, not because he wants to get, not because he says he wants to help people have health care and better jobs, but because he's a fucking authoritarian corrupt dipshit, right? Right. So, but so we just deployed three ages guided missile destroyers, the waters off Venezuela. I think there are 4,000 Marines in a ship somewhere, too, just sitting off the coast of Venezuela and in the Caribbean. And Trump says to combat threats from Latin American drug cartels. There were also, an anonymous official said the vessels will be deployed, quote, over the course of several months.

So they're just sitting there for months, not doing nothing. For his part, Maduro announced the deployment of four and a half million militiamen throughout the national territory and said, quote, no empire is going to touch the sacred ground of Venezuela. And it minimized, quote, threats to the peace of the country. Now, four and a half millions of exaggeration, the best actor count I can see is 400,000. We'll talk about them in a few minutes. But like, so Maduro has been indicted in New York federal court in 2020 during Trump's

first administration on NACro terrorism and conservative. fiercely and poor cocaine. But like the fact this is happening now, currently on New York Times the bestseller list is a book that I'm in the middle of reading called the Ford Brad Cartel. All right. So you can talk about this stuff that America does to perpetuate the drug trade, be it either on purpose or by accident. I think even Normies have caught on night out that the whole purpose that Afghan war was to turn Afghanistan back into a narco state. Now, that was just a bank shot trying to get rid of the Taliban because the Taliban were tough on crime because they had cracked down on, like, you know, all the pedophile heroin traffickers.

So their natural allies in the war would take down the, the Taliban were the pedophile heroin trackers. Those are the warlords who partner with. We put the pedophon heroin traffickers back in charge. And then coincidentally, America suffered a huge opioid opioid opioid and heroin epidemic that we're still going through, right? So you can say that was on, I'm not sure which part of what happened in Afghanistan with our opioid epidemic was on purpose or backsnap. But you can, it's a bumble. It's a CIA bumble fuck, the kind that we're used to. a little from column A, a little from column B. Then you talk about what's going on in Fort Bragg.

We've talked about it some before, and I'd really recommend this book because all the pieces we've been talking about for a couple years from to figure out why the fuck these weird murders are happening in Fort Bragg and why the fuck they keep getting busted with millions of dollars of cocaine. This investigator reporter, but then Seth Hart has pieced a lot of these different anecdotes into a really compelling narrative that these Delta Force guys and Green Berets are moving a fuck ton of cocaine. They're all doped up on Coke, ecstasy, steroids, and they get addicted to drugs after the military gives them dexamphetamines to stay awake for three days where they're doing night raids, then gives them benzos and ambience they can sleep, and gives them a theradol or one of those dolls for pain, which gets them home with them opioids.

And so when those are working anymore, they pivot to cocaine, heroin, and steroids and other kinds of drugs. A version of this was depicted in one of our favorite documentary series called Reacher on Amazon. I remember that? Yeah. Like the Army guys on the base, like running drugs and shit like that. I'm pretty sure I've made that joke before when something like this has come up, but still. There's a funny thing about Reacher is like, Reacher's written by a British guy who doesn't know how the U.S. military works. In the real life, that's not what Army cops do.

And in real life, army cops, like, arrest people for drug and distortedly until they look the other direction of people drawing drugs on base, right? Right. But either way, the idea that, like, that fucking book, I can't recommend it enough. And I know that a bunch of Special Forces guys are mad at the point of threatening the reporter's life stuff. They're saying he's full of shit. I'm just telling you that, like, I don't think every anecdote in the story is true because a lot of the sources, and there's like hundreds of them, are drug addict, green berets who are in federal prison. But if you wonder about their credibility, why would you not worry about the credibility? of a government that got them addicted to drugs in the first place.

Right. So the idea that we're to solve America's drug crisis by dropping these guys in Colombia and Venezuela in Mexico. Yeah. It beggars belief. It draws me fucking insane. And like, like, there's a story in a book. I'm digressing here.

But like, the main character in the book, if there is one, but he's got been a Billy Levine. And he gets so, he gets so addicted to cocaine and the crack doesn't do it for anymore. So he starts boofing speedballs. Do you know what boofing is, Trey? Up, up the butt, right? Yeah, you shove in combinations of coke and heroin up his butt. Yeah.

Before he murders his best, yeah, before he murders his best friend, he's a green beret. So, like, yeah, all this is a very, very, very, very fucking bad idea. None of it, none of it, like, my whole point in bringing all this is up is you don't need to trust any of their motives. Anyway, well, part of this really hit for me in this story in The York Times had the headline was Trump directs military to target four drunk cartels. one of the things the military is trying to figure out their lawyers are researching is does it count as murder if we kill civilians if Congress hasn't authorized military force?

That's a good fucking question. It's a good question. So, Maduro, Nichols Maduro for his part, is calling on China for help as pressure mounts in the United States. He had a fucking really fun speech this week. He was talking to something called

the first pedagogical Congress of Bolivarian teachers. he's talking he said quote you want to learn something you look for a tutorial I want to learn how to handle this new Huey phone a Huawei is a China's flagship brand

and mobile devices Right Huey is the most advanced in the world This was given to me A President Xi Jinping of China I have it here I communicate by satellite with him But you're a comment

And closing at the event He put the phone to his ear tray And said Nihal Neh So just like Eric Adams did earlier talking about Woody Greco We got Mayor Eric Adams

a socialist dictator of fucking Venezuela who we apparently are going to stop drugs by deposing in a coup. Okay. But also this guy's so he's making public appearances and speeches and stuff? Yeah.

It's president of a country. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I just, I don't know. It's weird. Like, the 50, it's like you said when you first started this. I know where he's at. He's in Venezuela. Give me $50 million. But it's like, I don't know. They make it sound like he's in high, like he's

Osama himself or something. But he's just doing president stuff every day, I guess. If you want to, you bad, if you, just you, you can see it because it's really hit from me. I've got the video of this whole thing here. It's the most advanced of the world. I me it's a president of Xi Jinping of China. Here you car go. I'm communicating by satellite with this.

Nihau! Nihau! He said, she, she, she, she, thank you. Hello, hello, thank you. So, if we kill this one guy, Trey, drug stop being a problem. All our cousins come back to life from their pill addictions. So they talked about him activating the militia, all right? Like, it's hard to describe what national dignity means or proud or whatever, but like, people just do not, like, being conquered or fucked with them this way, even if Nicholas Maduro does not hit for them.

Yeah, of course. So a bunch of housewives and retirees were lining up to join this militia in response to these quote, what Badura is calling quote, outlandish threats, because they fucking are outlandish threats. We quote him a 17-year-old woman named Omera Hernandez. I know that because of my age, I'm not going to carry a rifle, but I'm willing to help them. So if we send coaked up green berets and delta guys to kill the 78-year-old woman. Right. Fight Venezuela mammals or whatever. Yeah.

In order to find me win the war on drugs, which is, of course, perhaps the most unwinnable war. ever undertaken in the history of mankind. Bro, if you can't keep Delta Force from boofing fucking speedballs. Right. You can't keep drugs out of prisons. Yeah, no, it's human nature, dude. People are going to find a way. I wanted to ask you real quick before we left, just what you thought about the, like, Trump's health stuff.

Do you see that thing that went kind of viral for that dude that's not actually a doctor? physical therapist or something. Do you know what I'm talking about? There's like a physical therapist made a TikTok where he said he, you know, what's the word? He opined that perhaps Donald Trump had like six to eight months to live or something. And, of course, like Reddit and a bunch of other places are like grabbing that and running with it and popping bottles.

A lot of other people were like, look, this dude doesn't, he don't know. That's just pure speculation and he's not even an MD and all this stuff. So I just wonder what you thought about that. Me, I find that I just, you know, believe in the principle that, like, the worst people seem to live the longest. Like, that it's just how, that just seems to be what always fucking happens. So I don't, I don't buy it at all. So August 24th was the day a bunch of TikTok psychics and peg for the day Trump was going to die. So unfortunately, that does come and pass.

So a bunch of TikTok psychics, always some money back. Um, but like, so you're telling me the mysterious bruise on the back of his hand that shows up once a month. Like he's getting Ivy and his cannibles and shit. In fact, he weaves when he walks and he slurs his speech and all this shit. Um, I don't know. The deli data points that, that makes sense to me, like, uh, he keeps talking about how he wants to get into heaven, like in public interviews, which he wants to, he seems to think if he gets a Nobel Peace Prize, it's like a, like a path, free pass to get you a cap eraser. Right. So that's the urgency to end the war in Ukraine, I guess.

And then he also, I don't know, the only thing about escalating the military deployments in D.C. It's like, it's way too soon to, like, keep himself in power in 2028. So, like, I like, is he, are they doing like a, are they trying to keep people from dancing in the streets and the lead up to a state funeral? Like, is he, like, literally on his last minute? But, yeah, I don't know. I don't know, dude. Honestly, whatever with them. Just knowing that that would mean.

among many other things. President Jim, David Vance, or whatever. I don't remember J.D.'s, you know, but just J.D. He's changed it several times, so I can't give him straight. Yeah, right. But J.D. Vance being the president is like, that's just, that's pretty tough for me, imagining that. I don't know. Anyway, but I don't have any, like I said, I have no, that would, it wouldn't not hit for me.
