Summary

The Correspondents Dinner assassin that wasn’t, a Washington press freakout over hearing gunshots vaguely in the distance, and whether there’s anyone left in America who hasn’t tried to kill a president. Then we get into the paper thin federal indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center and the effort to protect the real victim of racism: Donald Trump’s reputation. Also, the funny reactions of Nazis, who want to be very clear: the SPLC are dumb nerds who don’t tell them what to do.

what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you it's april 28th 2026 we're recording this on

0:14.0

monday april 27th at about 1 p.m. on the west coast i'm tray and that's mark how you doing

0:19.4

there mark looking particularly feral as you just noted, before we started. You get lined up? Do you go to a barbershop to get your beard lined up, or you do it yourself? No, a barbershop. I can't shape for shit. I knew it. I somehow knew you would go to a barbershop for that. I just couldn't, you know, I don't know. It just fits. So, yeah, we got at least one big thing to talk about, I think. Yeah, if you, like, we're going to talk about the Southern Poverty Law Center in Dymo with whatever time we have less. Well, hope is plenty because I don't, like, if you guys have watched the news over the weekend, you might have missed the fact that what

0:55.0

happened at the White House Correspondents Dinner was basically fucking nothing.

1:00.1

Right.

1:00.5

Nothing happened.

1:03.6

Like, the guy didn't even come with it, get him the same floor as the correspondence dinner.

1:07.9

He was like several floors away and several layers of security

1:11.0

outside, away from the president.

1:12.8

Right.

1:15.1

And I'm not an expert in secret service procedure.

1:17.8

It seems stupid for me

1:19.0

to put the entire line of succession

1:20.3

in the same room for something as stupid

1:22.0

as a fucking rubber chicken dinner

1:23.2

where you watch a medalist.

1:24.7

But like, what happened was

1:26.6

the guy was stopped by a metal detector, which is what the metal detector is for. And the signal, like, he ran, God ran past the metal detector with his guns. The signal service drew their guns to open fire. Like, they say he got a shot off, but, like, I don't, I thought maybe, because the signal service, they didn't get shot in in his blueprints, I thought maybe they shot each other in a crossfire, which, you know, I'm not impuging the honor of the Secret Service. They're supposed to be willing to shoot each other to stop by somebody from killing the president. But like, I don't even know if he got a shot off. Right. Well, here's, so here's what's happened from my perspective with the story i was at a like a

2:03.5

housewarming party out here in l.A on saturday it's like some comedy people and stuff and when the

2:08.7

news broke and everyone immediately first thing they said was some version of like i guess his poll numbers

2:14.8

are dipping too low or you know there's something you know get the other ear this time, you know. He isn't the WWE Hall of Fame. He's, you know, he knows something about showmanship and storylines and stuff, that type, basically just immediately, you know, implying that it was fake. And it's like, again, it's comedians, everybody's just sort of hitting or whatever. but then I start, but then, like, you know that I'd be on Reddit a lot, probably too much. Again, I'm a lurker. I don't post, but I'd be re-reddit. It is, like, just fully convinced, like, again, immediately that it is, that it did not really happen, that it's some sort of, like, false flag or whatever. and I just did a right before this I did one of the young Turks channel shows they'll have me online periodically and they didn't they did not they went out of their way to not say that they were saying that it was fake but they covered a lot of people saying that it was fake, right?

3:07.9

So there's like this big feeling out there, you know, immediately people would be like,
