Weekly Skews Weekly Skews, hosted by Trae Crowder and Mark Agee, is a new comedy podcast that offers a redneck and working class perspective from the Left on the week's news, politics, and culture.

It would obviously take a conspiracy to make Spencer Pratt, a well-known failure, fail. We get to the bottom of it. Then, Congress has it’s own CIA? And they’re mostly watching your posts about data centers. Before all that we get to Pete Hegseth declaring Mormonism a cult, which has gone over great in Utah.

Nigeria has the rare political scandal that would make a fun Disney movie where a candidate turned out to be a literal child. An immature congressman? Can’t have that. Then, we get into the Texas campaign for the U.S. Senate and the tens of millions of dollars worth of mud about to be slung at James Talarico, which so far amounts to “It’s communist to eat meat veganly” and “He has a girlfriend, but queerly.” Trae has an actual job at an office for one week, so Mark is joined by Drew Morgan this week. Come hang.

Good news, your fourth-grader is now free from the federal tyranny that barred them from mango-flavored vapes. We check in on a few primaries and discuss a gubernatorial’s winning gambit of ‘wearing tall socks,’ and an aspiring congresswoman in Texas who had way to much caffeine then talked about Israel. Then, we discuss our seemingly inevitable military action against Cuba for several pretexts we’re in the middle of making up.

Kash Patel continues living like a ten-year-old who found a winning lottery ticket. Trump’s supporters debate the strict meaning of “worship” with regards to the golden statue of him they built to take pilgrimages to. Then, we get into Mr. Wonderful’s planet-eating Death Star of a data center project in Utah, the fight against it, and his ability to sniff out all the Chinese A.I. saboteurs who’ve, uh, lived in Box Elder County, Utah, their whole lives.

The government (barely) disclosed (very little) stuff about aliens and you’ll never guess, no one is satisfied. The root cause of all of this does seem to be a government disinformation campaign that no one seems to remember why they did it for. It’s pretty funny. Then, we talk about the practical death of the Voting Rights Act and the mad rush all over the South to gerrymander every state into a sloppy segregationist mess.

The War in Iran has hit a new phase with dolphin troops. Dolphin troops? Support the dolphin troops. Primary season’s in full swing, so let’s talk about Graham Platner becoming the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine, the Reddit post controversies, and the shaken state of Dem moderates. Also,   Because the definition feels very specific, and not what you might think.

Today we talk about a guy in Colorado who’s trapped in a time loop movie of unwarranted traffic stops because of Big Computer. It’s a silly anecdote connected to the growing privacy and law enforcement nightmare that is Flock Safety, and how cities and counties across the U.S. have helped set up “Netflix for Stalkers.” Do you want to livestream a child’s gymnastics class in Georgia? Flock is the service for you.

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.

Live Nation's predatory grip on live music is finally cracking — and a homegrown, hyper-local music scene is rising up to take its place. Matt sits down with longtime music publicist and industry expert Devon Léger to talk festival season, why the corporate giants are getting pinched, and how Live Nation's monopoly playbook (own the venues, the artists, the tickets, then jack up prices) is running into real backlash. They get into the surprising forces reshaping the industry — from Gen Z drinking less to indie festivals outlasting the Coachellas of the world — plus how house concerts, co-op venues, and immigrant music scenes are quietly building a more sustainable future for live music. If you're feeling discouraged, Devon's prescription is simple: go to a show.

RFK Jr. “Yeah yeah, we’ll get to the measles outbreaks, but first what’s up with raccoon penis bones?” The FBI director apparently cries at work, but don’t worry, it’s only because he’s blackout drunk. Trump considers giving himself an Iran War medal. Then, we get into the insane goings on with influencers on the right, where the real ones are self-immolating at the same time they’re being replaced by A.I.

There’s a chimpanzee war. Sound dumb? You’ll never guess. Then we get into JD Vance’s global catastrophe of a week, starting with failed low-effort negotiations with Iran while the Secretary of State got drunk in Miami. Then, we talk about the election results in Hungary, where the people basically voted for JD and the rest of the MAGA Dweeb Wing to go eat rocks. It was a campaign with an insane amount of propaganda, meddling, and a pretty weird sex abuse scandal involving the new Prime Minister’s ex-wife. Join us.

Since the beginning of 2025, Democrats have flipped 30 Republican state legislative seats while Republicans haven't picked up a single Democratic one. Joe breaks down the pattern of overperformance showing up in special elections from Iowa to Florida to Georgia, why state legislative candidates are connecting with voters in ways that DC politicians can't, and how all of that local organizing and candidate recruitment is building toward something big in 2026. ]]> Fri, 10 Apr 2026 23:02:52 +0000 tag:audioboom.com,2026-04-10:/posts/8887042 Weekly Skews Weekly Skews S6 Ep18: Weekly Skews – Social Media War Crimes, plus an Interview with Congressional Candidate Dr. Michaela Barnett https://audioboom.com/posts/8884013 18 Weekly Skews – Social Media War Crimes, plus an Interview with Congressional Candidate Dr. Michaela Barnett 6 3586 false full

JD Vance has a new book about his journey through forty-eleven religions before he arrived at the correct one, Catholicism-Where-You-Hate-the-Pope. Then Mark and Trae talk about the president threatening war crimes in internet posts where he sarcastically converts to Islam. Then, a fun discussion with scientist, small business owner, and Congressional candidate Dr. Michaela Barnett about running for office because you’re mad as hell and no one else is doing it.

The White House has horny pun fun with sex-working farmers. Marco Rubio wants you to know he listens to rap music while various prediction market fiascos continue to surround the non-war with Iran. Also, Iran hacked the FBI director’s emails and we learned that he pays for porn? Yeah, Kash Patel pays for porn. Then we get into the overlords’ obsession with replacing teachers with A.I. ,which somehow led to the first lady having to hang out with a Roomba with feet.

Congressional retirements are hitting a modern record heading into the 2026 midterms, and author, political scientist, and professor Dr. Tom Schaller joins Matt to break down what it all means. More Republicans are fleeing the House than at any point in the last century — tied with Trump's own first midterm in 2018 — and historically, that's a very bad sign for the party in power. Tom and Matt dig into what the retirement wave means for Speaker Johnson's razor-thin majority, which races to watch, and why the fundamentals of 2026 look increasingly like a Democratic wave election. Plus, they get into the cracks forming inside the MAGA coalition, Trump's cratering approval numbers, and whether the dam with Trump voters is finally starting to break.

We’ve got a new FEMA chief who believes he has telekinetic powers. In other DHS news, the likely new secretary has been stealing Delta Force valor but you can’t catch him on it because the truth is too classified, and Trump is sending ICE to be the new TSA. Then we get into the latest stupid war news. An aircraft carrier is out of commission because of a laundry fire and overflowing toilets and it’s not nearly the biggest waste going on.

Cops in Ohio are suing the rapper Afroman (remember Afroman?) for negatively impacting their self-esteem.

Our solution to the Hormuz crisis is for some guys in boat captain hats to do Pickett’s Charge. All of this is very necessary, according to an A.I. George Washington, I told to say that. We did the Vietnam Airlift to with one private jet to rescue a TikTok dogwalker. Then we get into all the unforeseeable (very foreseeable) impacts the war is having, including that we’re kinda paying Russia to help Iran.

This week, we begin with the number one political issues facing Texas: Sharia Law and lies about porn addiction and organic honey. Then we get into the beginning of our most recent non-war with Iran, news of which was broken by a couple drunk guys overhead at a seafood restaurant by TMZ, and things have only gotten dumber since then. Why’d we attack? The White House will have to get back to you on that.

Portugal has MAGA now, down to even A.I.-generated xenophobic rap videos, and we’re sorry. Then we discuss the nationwide widespread pushback against new ICE detention facilities due to an alliance of wokes and the most undefeatable of American political forces, NIMBYs. After that we bring on Corey Ryan Forrester to walk us through a hilarious mayoral scandal that’s rocked his small town.

 Small towns across America are being flooded by plans for massive ICE detention centers, which Andrea Pitzer, in One Long Night, describes as concentration camps. In this episode of Good Skews, Producer Matt talks with rural organizer and former state House candidate Megan Kocher about what’s unfolding in Northeastern Pennsylvania and across the country, why warehouse sites are spreading into small towns with little local input, and how recent reporting on ICE misconduct raises urgent oversight concerns. We also discuss what real organizing looks like beyond protests — from building ICEwatch networks and mutual aid systems to leveraging zoning boards, local officials, and elections to slow or stop detention projects before they take root.

We talk about the various freakouts surrounding the Super Bowl, then the various freakouts surrounding the Olympics. Then we get into the continuing fallout around the Epstein documents and how officials in other countries are facing consequences. Not in America though, because no one here did anything they could be ashamed of, because no one has shame.

The White House seems to be considering arming the Brave Mujahadeen of Alberta, Canada. Then we get into the latest Epstein document dump, the hilarious conspiracy theorists’ reaction to them, and also how Ol’ Jeff’s schemes seem to have been carried on after he was dead. Probably a coincidence. And yeah, the thing that’s in the episode title: Epstein tried to fund a biological weapon that would make women horny. Join us.

Unfortunately, we had very little time to discuss the latest rapper to try to become a LinkedIn Mar-a-Lago guy because of the weekend’s events in Minneapolis. It seems perhaps we’ve reached the limits of lying about: things we can all see, the sequence of events in linear time, and the plain meaning of third-grade vocabulary words. Also, the people who defrauded Kyle Rittenhouse’s GoFundMes think guns are bad now. Confusing times.

In this episode of Good Skews, Matt Hildreth sits down with comedians Drew Morgan and DJ Lewis to talk about what it means to help people when everything feels like it’s on fire, and why “mutual aid” is about showing up, plugging in, and supporting the helpers who are already doing the work.

The conversation moves from ICE raids and neighbors doing laundry in solidarity, to local fights over land, water, and data centers, to the left’s tendency to over-academicize politics.

Former most-annoying-Senator Kyrsten Sinema faces a lawsuit for being an irresistible seductress. Then, as the federal siege of Minneapolis drags on it gets dumber, more dangerous, and did we say dumber? Everyone’s falling for AI videos, ICE agents have been told citizens count toward the quotas they can’t meet, and suburban dads are making homemade teargas countermeasures. Plus some interesting leaked documents reveal ICE is trying to infiltrate resistance organizations they made up.

Happy New Year! We’re back, and talking about how you can’t run a pawn shop while investing in horny cowboys anymore, because of woke. Then, the U.S. finally pulls the trigger on Venezuela, after Maduro did TikTok dances and apparently that was the last straw. Trump screwed the opposition, announcing it was purely a war for oil. Plot twist: U.S. companies don’t want the oil, but no one asked them.

They explore how white nationalist ideology, spearheaded by figures like Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon, has shaped U.S. immigration policy—from the Tea Party era to today’s alarming use of military force and detention infrastructure. With recent CBS polling showing a sharp decline in public support for mass deportations, Mueller highlights the disconnect between campaign rhetoric and policy reality, the strategic manipulation of Republican primaries, and the growing backlash among independents and immigrant communities. The conversation also underscores how labor unions and everyday Americans are stepping up in defense of immigrant rights, offering a hopeful counter-narrative to an increasingly authoritarian agenda.

Her leadership has fostered the creation of innovative programs such as Block Captains, 93-County Voter Guides, and the Candidates of Color Fund. She is the longest-serving Chair in the history of the Nebraska Democratic Party.

Ewing’s victory marks a historic moment as he becomes the first Black mayor of Omaha and represents a strong rejection of anti-transgender campaign tactics.
