043: Who Are These Freaks on My Screen? [Preview]
Episode Transcript
Last thing I want to talk about before we get out of here this week is the sombreros that are everywhere and and Benny Johnson of Turning Point USA gave us the perfect segue for this.
Wait, I need to talk about Benny Johnson for like a split second.
Jared, I I need to say something about this guy.
You don't have to beg me, Mike.
You can talk about Benny Johnson.
I got to say, I got to say, has anybody seen like we all know the rumors about Benny Johnson, right?
We have, We have to like.
He's the he's the straightest man in DC.
Yeah, the the.
He's a sexual threat.
He's a sexual Puma.
He's something he's something Milo Yiannopoulos insinuated that he was doing stuff with like TPSA boys or what.
I don't remember what it was that in the tweet.
There's a lot of rumors hanging around this guy.
He, you know, for a long time and I have, no, I'm not going to weigh in on their validity or not.
But one thing I do know with, with him is that he has been like posting a lot of like very especially recently cause 'cause it seems like there's been a whole lot of gossip about Benny Johnson has come out recently.
It's like a lot more, more, more rolling information.
People just posting all the time about him being gay and whatever else.
And he has responded by all these very glossy pictures of him with his family and his kids, sort of like have children like me, you know, this stuff.
And then the other day had a public communication with his wife where she's like, she's like, I cancelled our Netflix, Benny, now is the perfect time to have another child.
And then he replied to her and wrote like, something like, I'm on my way.
I can't wait.
What anyway?
Bottom text I don't know I have anything to say other than that is some of the weirdest motherfucking shit I have ever seen in my life.
That's really not helping his case.
I no.
That's that's not how people have sex, Everybody you don't do.
Like hey.
I'm home, let's make a baby.
Oh yes, that's something I enjoy doing, having sex with a female vagina.
It's it's the the cliche that how do you do my fellow kids?
You know, it's it's like, yeah, how many of you guys like putting your Wiener in a girl?
Because I like it a lot.
Like you, I enjoy putting my penis inside of a vagina, and here I'm going to tell you a little bit about it online.
Who are the children I created that way?
We never used a Turkey baster, despite anybody's, you know, insinuations online.
Look at these children.
Could a gay man do this?
And then, like every gay man on the face of the planet is like, yes, many of us have.
Oh shit.
Anyway, yeah.
Anyway, Penny Johnson, he was in Chicago.
He was, you know, like lips of TikTok and they every once in a while they pick out one of these high profile influencers and take them on ICE raids to film content about how based and epic it is actually.
So he was in Chicago fresh off the plane from Chicago.
You shared AAI generated video of yourself cringe beating up immigrants outside of a Walmart, I think.
And those immigrants, including a woman?
When Benny Johnson was beating up a woman in the video.
Yeah, he was like Batman or something.
All of the immigrants are wearing sombreros, so I feel like I want to talk about the sombreros thing.
So how the sombrero thing started is Trump posted meme videos on true socials showing Senator Chuck Schumer, lead Democrat in the Senate, and Representative Hakeem Jeffries, lead Democrat in the House in a sombrero and mustache set to mariachi music.
And this is all meant to play in to this falsehood that they're putting out, which is that Democrats are not working with them on the budget because they want to give free healthcare to undocumented immigrants, which a who cares?
Everybody should have free healthcare.
The way we do healthcare in this country is insane, and if you try to explain it to somebody who lives in a civilized first world country, they look at you like you're crazy and B, it's also just not true.
Democrats aren't doing that.
It's not they can't do that.
It's, it seems like a really loot.
It's it.
I bring up the caravan thing a lot because we're headed towards the same midterm cycle.
Kind of there there will be another quote UN quote caravan on the one right, you know, and some and these caravans are real, but it's like, you know, they'll they'll start talking about this shit.
But this, this feels like we've seen a lot of MAGA swings and misses over the years.
I know it feels like we've they're just crushing us all the time.
It does.
It has that feel sometimes just because of how shitty things are right now.
But there have been a lot of like, well, let's try to do this and it doesn't work.
And I and the fucking hat thing, I just don't think it's landing at all.
You see the percentages of people who blame the Republicans.
It's like vastly in that direction and even includes some Republicans.
So I mean, and the fact that any of the move is is shocking every time that happens.
So it feels like this hat thing is, it is really just like a pass directly into the defense.
It's just a complete fucking fail.
Yeah, yeah.
So Trump posted these videos and people rightfully said that they were racist and stupid.
It is the like, oldest cliche about Mexican people in the book.
This sombrero mustache, you know, lazy, lazy Mexican is the joke.
And the White House is just like leading full tilt into it, right?
It's just anything that people are like, wow, that's kind of dumb and racist.
They're just like, Oh yeah, we're going to do some more of it.
And the quote that Axios reported, I'm just going to read this verbatim.
According to a White House spokesperson, the sombreros will continue until the Democrats reopen the government.
Oh, don't give us more sombreros.
Oh my God, please stop.
Stop.
This is keeping me up at night.
Oh no.
You know you have to.
I have to watch more streams of Jack Bezobic and Tim Pool wearing fucking sombreros on their head.
I'm so scared.
Yeah.
I'm so scared of them, them them robbing themselves of all dignity, all dignity they could possibly have and just looking like a complete asshole on their own stream.
Oh no, please don't do that to me.
You beat me to the punch.
Because all of the right wing influencers, Jack Posobic, Tim Pool, they went on the show that Jack and Charlie Kirk used to host together and did a segment where they were all wearing these stupid sombreros and they are talking about some website about race, racism and the law, something like that.
Oh, that was a Southern Poverty Law Center banger.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
That it was.
It wasn't actually a Southern Poverty Law Center thing, but they were claiming that it had some, you know, it was sort of like, you know, 6° of separation with Southern Poverty Law Center.
They're claiming that this this had to do with Southern poverty lawsuit or whatever they were trying to.
They've been trying to get the claim together.
Imagine, by the way, someone you care about and your friend dies, right?
I mean, holy, I didn't want to imagine it on the show, but like someone we really care about.
Sometimes it was one of the guests that was is genuinely our friends is killed.
And your reaction, like less than a month later, is to fucking like, try, like try to try to bend it in such a way that you can use it to create trouble for Southern Poverty Law Center and blame Southern Poverty Law Center for having killed Charlie Kirk when there is absolutely no correlation.
Did you even care about your fucking friend?
Yeah, yeah.
And and to like remember his legacy by being like, but we're going to keep producing the podcast he was a Co host on.
And in this segment where we're like, the Southern Poverty Law Center calls everybody racist and it gets them killed.
We're going to do this racist trope of Mexican people.
Isn't that?
Isn't that?
Yeah.
Gee, I wonder why we're called racist.
Yeah, I don't want to spend more time talking about Charlie Kirk.
I think we've, you and I have agreed that we need to like, we we need to slow down on the Kirk.
We've just been hitting that pipe too hard.
But I got to say this.
This.
This brings up a point that has been on my mind for a while, which is they completely fucking butt fumble the Kirk thing.
All they really had to do is show actual grief and sadness as you would appropriately to someone you care about dying and everybody would be feeling really bad.
And they would have gotten the effect they wanted which is to turn Charlie Kirk the Kirk into like a St.
and a martyr.
They would, that would have happened be sad because people are sad when people are killed, But instead they immediately turned it into a fucking show like ATV show.
And they turn it into a because that's the only mode they know is like kind of grifting and money making and that sort of thing.
And the end result is they've turned Kirk basically into just a meme now.
I mean, he's just like a he's just like a meme for the left and for the and for the right, it feels like.
And all of the goodwill that they had seems to be really dissipating.
And it's just a perfect example of how shallow these people ultimately are.
And that's why they're they're trying to turn, you know, this murder into an attack on Southern Poverty Law Center while wearing sombreros.
