Weekly Skews

Well Skewers a week out from the election and, as expected all along, all eyes are on the material of edgelord shock comic Tony Hinchcliffe, who made serious waves this weekend by letting the whole world know just exactly what kind of rally Trump was throwing at Madison Square Garden. Did you guys NotSee that? Support the show

Skewers, we’ve known for years now that Money in Politics is one of the biggest threats to our country, and it’s never been more evident than in this election. Tonight we talk about the hundreds of millions of dollars being funneled into Donald Trump’s effort to regain the White House, a massive chunk of which can be traced directly back to, who else, Elon Musk. Support the show

Evening, Skewers. Tonight we discuss the state of affairs in Florida, where citizens still reeling from the effects of two hurricanes are also forced to deal with a malicious governor hell bent on making their lives worse. So that’s fun. Also, some dumb stuff from Trump and MAGA wants to cancel the weather. Support the show

 Skewers it’s only been one week and already another generationally cataclysmic hurricane is bearing down on this country. Surely politicians on all sides have put away partisan disputes and come together to help our fellow Americans in this time of need right? Actually, no, Trump and MAGA have deemed this fertile ground for sowing lies and unrest. Imagine that. Support the show

Hurricane Helene cut a swath of cataclysmic destruction across the South last weekend, with much of the worst of it being in western North Carolina…which is profoundly upsetting considering it was a hurricane and that is the mountains. So what is being done, politically, to ensure this never happens again? Believe it or not, very little. But Trump’s getting some good photo ops out of it and that’s what really matters.

Skewers it has been one HECKUVA week for the American Right as a truly comical number of sex scandals have broken at basically the same time. Matt Gaetz doin’ Matt Gaetz stuff (i.e. bringing a teenager to a sex party), yet another vehemently homophobic activist turns out to have a super gay history, and of course the abject and filthy insanity of Mark Robinson. Join us. Support the show

Skewers, tonight we'll break down the latest apparent attempt on Trump's life, including a look at the would-be gunman, who oddly enough does NOT seem to be a transgender antifa agent. Join us as we talk about the increasingly absurd state of affairs in American politics as the 2024 election season barrels on. Support the show

Skewers this week we welcome Producer Laura to the fold (Matt is fine; we'll explain on the show) and what a first episode it is for her as we dive into the latest wholly made up fearmongering campaign being embraced by MAGA: that Haitian immigrants are out here eatin' kitty cats. Pre-game for the debate by joining us as we explore the reality of this truly insane story as well as the Ohio town at the center of it. Support the show

Skewers, it’s an election year, and you know what that means: time to gin up some immigration panics! The right has already been hard at work to this end but now they’ve got a new headliner: Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes in Colorado. Tonight we talk about the complex reality of the situation, plus Trump’s IVF position and a bunch of other dumb stuff along the way. Support the show

Skewers, tonight we talk about the astronauts currently stuck in space, and how lucky they are to be missing the insanity that is life on this planet right now. No obviously being stuck in space is less than ideal, but seriously things are wild, and we’re gonna talk about ‘em. Join us.Support the show
