Let's go, all in place. What is your evidence? Who is it? They stopped Ben Shapiro from going to events and speaking. They stopped Ann Coulter from doing it. Every week that song goes harder and harder. I still enjoy it, which is weird. Most intros, I'll skip to the show, but I like our intro. I'll watch it every time. It's objectively good. It's good. It's so cute. I like when they call us all the names and all the BS, like terrorists, all that good stuff. I love it. Thank you for explaining what we just heard, Rebecca. Thank you for demonetizing us immediately at the beginning of the show. How's everyone doing this week? Doing good. How are all of you? Doing okay. Doing good. I'm like, it's not Friday yet. Like that's crazy. Yeah, this has been a long week for me. I don't know. I'm actually surprised it's already Thursday. So it's a bit different for me. It's already September. That's that. Like August flew by. Yeah, the month went by faster. This whole year flew by for me. Well, there's still a number of months left in the year, Mike. We're not quite done with the year. We've already been so many more. But I mean, like it's already almost, it's already almost, you know, the whole year. There's like a whole quarter of the year left. It's, we're not even close to that. It feels like the final stretch. Yes, the final stretch. Yeah, yeah. Once fall hits, it's just, that's it. It's over. Last three months and there we are. Fall is an interesting time. Like, I know that fall also is like that time when people get seasonal depression. I know I get it. But, but I also really, really like fall at the same time. Like I like the changing of the leaves. I like to say that the change. I love Halloween. Halloween is my favorite holiday. Halloween is my favorite. You get to dress all slutty and sexy over like in the street. Like I love that part of it. I don't need Halloween to give me an excuse to dress like that. I love that for you.  Like it was one of those costumes where you inflate it. So I always do that. Maybe I should be like a slutty costume wearer this year. Although I'm not doing anything. Fashion over.  But fashion Nova sells a slutty version of every single outfit you can think of. Whatever. Joe Biden's slutty, right? Joe Biden's slutty. Like anything. Cornwall's slutty too. All of it. All of it. All of it. What about, what about, what about slutty David Dole? Do they got one of them? I'm pretty sure. What was that? That's his default setting. It's right there. That's the, that's the, that's the photo. That's the photo he posted on threads to get followers. Just topless. That's the photo. That's the costume. It's the wear shirt. They got to get the hair right. They got to get the hair right. Well, the hair. I mean, I got a haircut last week. So, you know, it changes every time. You can't just do it any kind of way. They got to get the hair right. And then no shirt. There you go. And then no shirt. Someone said Binder as a slutty wrestler. Yeah, I could see that. I could see Binder being a slutty wrestler. Me with the, me with the, me with the Sable hands from the 90s. Do you guys remember that? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That would be hilarious actually. But just me with the painted Sable hands. That would be so funny if people would really dress up like y'all for Halloween and like send y'all pictures because don't dress up like me because I have a new look every other day. I don't know what it will be, but no, it'll be funny if people do that and send pictures of what they, I know during COVID, we did like Patreon parties.  And I tried, I tried to do a cat.  And I just came out and they were like, is it, is it, are you doing like black panthers or what is how I'm like, y'all not getting it? You guys are, you're not seeing the vision. They weren't seeing the vision. And I had to do that for two hours and nobody saw the vision. No.  It's an easy guess. It's an easy guess. Yeah. I didn't do it. I was looking at all the YouTube videos and it, and I'm like, okay, so let me just. Did you have ears? You need ears for a cat. I don't even know. No. Maybe that's why that. Okay. So it was giving, and I had all black. So it was giving more like black panther. Revolutionary.  A win is a win. Yeah. I feel like there's a limit to what I can dress up as because of my beard. Like I can't do a lot. I mean, You have to commit.  That's what you got to get a cut for months after. I don't know if it's worth it. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's like, I can be what, like Jesus, did he have a beard? Yeah. No, you have that beard that they have. You can be white Jesus. I can be slutty Jesus. Nice lace front. Yeah. That's white Jesus. And like a little toga, but make it sexy. Right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Like I can't, if I, if I wanted to like do something, like every character doesn't have a beard. So I'm limited. So, you know, Jesus is a good one. Jesus. I could be Jesus. You could be Jesus. I say just, just shave your beard and be 2015. Mike, just be yourself. Oh, God. Eight years ago. Is that how long ago? 2015? Whenever you started, I shaved it in 2017 before my marriage, my marriage because I was like, well, I just grew it out then. I'm like, do I really want to have a beard for like the wedding pictures when I look back on it? And then I shaved it. I'm like, no, I really want that beard for the wedding pictures. So yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't even know what I'd look like. My dog would probably bark at me. She's never seen me without a beard. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Anyways. We got a weird Halloween. Because like, because you said clean face over here. Someone said they were excited for Halloween and we wanted a whole tangent, right? We did. Halloween is far away. Right, right. Halloween is amazing. Unfortunately, it's not on.  They're saying Rebecca's quiet. It is a little bit. Yeah. Oh, my mic is quiet. Yeah. You could do it in the Halloween is a Tuesday this year. That's, I could be a lumberjack. It's a bad year. I don't know. Am I too loud? No, that's good. I think that sounds okay. All right. Yeah. So I absolutely had to ask you guys about this. I don't know if you saw this, but Ted Cruz put out a video that is extremely contrived and cringe worthy. Oh, I already have it saved. Oh, thank God. Okay. Yeah. We have to talk about this because apparently it started when who was it? Peter Ducey. Steve Ducey's son.  And this is the Biden alcohol czar, possibly taking the Canadian recommendation of two beers per week and making that recommendation here. And the right is blowing this up as if it's some sort of in authoritarian takeover. Again, this is just the recommendation.  And Ted Cruz responded with this video that is, I don't even know how to describe it, but we'll watch. Ted has now done that for new construction. They're trying to go after and regulate ceiling fans. I got to tell you, it's hot in Texas. We don't want to get rid of our ceiling fans.  That's their guideline.  I'll drink this non-alcoholic beer with you, because I'm not allowed to drink on camera. But that's authoritarianism. Well, I got to say, have you ever seen a brand do more damage to itself than Bud Light? Oh my gosh. Single-handedly destroy themselves. I'm glad you're not drinking a Bud Light. Personally, I'm fond of Shiner Bach, which is a good Texas brand. I've been to the Shiner brewery in Shiner, Texas. And I recommend it. And I promise you this is not alcohol-free beer down here. This just makes me want to call him the extoller and hit him. So we watched this on the majority court earlier today. And there were a few things that immediately stuck out to me. Number one was, where did he get the guys in the background? The smiling bears, you mean? I love the dude in the very back with the hat. Is that a tractor back there? Yeah, there's a tractor. Oh, yeah. I like the guy who's standing slightly side profile, as if he was told to pose that way. Like, what is that guy doing there? And the checker, like, why is he standing like that? No, this is why. Also, I'm assuming they had to have told them, like, all right, when Ted Cruz takes a swig of his beer, you all take a swig, too, all right? Oh, of course. The fact that they planned this and choreographed this, it just, I can't handle this. This is American politics, folks. The anchor, for me, the news anchor is the worst part of it. Yeah, he has a beer ready, too. Like, what? Well, he has a non-alcoholic beer. Now, my question is, now, if you'll recall, Eric Boling was, he lost his job at Fox News for deviant behavior. He apparently sexually harassed his co-workers. So my question is, is there like a rule or regulation that you can't, like a cable news law or something, where you can't, like FCC, where you can't drink alcoholic beer on air, or is it just specifically as part of his agreement with Newsmax? Eric Boling is not allowed to drink on the job. He must be so. Because of what he might do to his co-workers. Oh, my gosh. This is so cringe, though. Like, the fact that they had the props in the back, the men, they're standing like mannequins until that time comes. And then there is just, I'm sorry, they have the look. They have the look of the people that they're targeting for this specific thing. And I'm just going to say that. That's the look. He went and got them people. And if beer, so the fact that they made this such an important thing, it's the guy on the side of the flash. The guy on the right, yeah. He's the one who does it for me. The smiling dude? He did just like this the whole time, waiting for his opportunity to take that swig. But it's like they make this so important. They do all that. He put so much work into this, but he's left his whole state so many times with no help. And this is the bigger issue that he set this up, called up the news station, told him how he going to do it. Had to anchor in on it. It's a joke. It is. The fact is now it's crazy. Had to throw some transphobia in there, too, right? Why you mention Bud Light in the middle of nowhere, you know? Ah, bad lot done. More diamonds to themselves. No one else. No one else. I like that. That's a good little accent. Yeah, that's really good. You know what else? He's Canadian, too, by the way. This is a fake accent. He's Canadian. Yeah, never forget. What? Oh my God, yeah. And I read that from the article that you dropped that they are trying to mirror the Canada rule for men to only have two beers. First of all, this is not even a rule. This is like some health record. It's a recommendation. It's a recommendation. Yeah. Because alcohol is not good for you. That's all it is. Yeah. The guys talk. They make a whole new story out of this. Like it's ridiculous. Right. The guy we were talking about, the reason this whole thing happened, it was Dr. George Kub, one of Biden's health czars, who is the director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, was asked these questions by the Daily Mail. The recommendation by the USDA is that a male should not drink more than two beers per day. Canada says no one should drink. The recommendation is no one male or female should drink more than two beers a week. So Daily Mail asked him and he said, very funny line, I thought. He said, where is this? It was a funny line. Hold on. He said, okay. So he was asked, would the guidelines change?  I'm pretty sure. Like this is the director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. What do they expect him to say? Listen, you know what? We're looking at what Canada's doing. And it's weak, man. We can't handle their shots. We got to do America, baby. Like it's so ridiculous. Like what do they expect? Why is the gender specific? Like why men can't? So men can't hold. It's probably average because of body weight as well. That's my guess. Yeah, I'm going to guess. But that is the case. The USDA says women no more than one beer per day. Men no more than two beers per day. I mean, like alcohol, technically it's a poison. Right. We all know that. I love beer. I love drinking. I'm not anti-alcohol at all. It's fun. I like the inflated sense of self-esteem and all that stuff. I just like these are just, these are just like, yeah. It's just doctor recommendations. Yeah. There's nothing. There's no cancel. Yeah. Like I can, I can understand that. Yeah. Alcohol is not good for me. I'm still going to drink a lot of it when I want to get drunk. Like I'm not, you know what I mean? Like it's not going to. I'm not offended by a health recommendation. Do I get drunk? Yeah. Wow. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. It makes this more insufferable. Once a month, once every two months, you know. What makes this more insufferable to me, aside from it just being Ted Cruz, is that this is the same motherfucker who tried to ban dildos in Texas. He's against the legalization of pot, but yeah. Dildos, no. He's all for individual liberty.  It's so insufferable. Oh, yeah. The country access is just really, it's very, it's tickling me. It's tickling me. Wait, why dildos? Uh, I guess that may be a bad experience. I'm not sure. Because they're all larger than him. That's why. Oh wow. Yeah. That's true. I could see that being very true. Now he, but the fact that he focuses on these things and there's so much wrong. There's so much that his state need.  People as props and you do all of this and you make it such an issue.  And this, this, this is an embarrassment. And this should be what people see when it comes time to vote and things like that for their states.  Like for him to focus on things like beer when you, y'all need water. Y'all need this. Y'all need that. I'm going to launch an investigation into Bud Light, like an actual inquiring. He never did it, but he was like, we're going to launch an inquiry until they betrayed us or something like that. That's what taxpayer money time wasted. That can go into actual change for the state. And that is just, to me, that's, that's telling like, those people don't care about nobody. They just like, it's nothing. They don't care about nothing serious. Anything's serious. They're not going to put any effort towards, they will fight it. Like we should be talking about gun laws right now. And they're here. Yeah. Honestly, anybody who is a constituent of Ted Cruz should feel insulted.  This is incredibly patronizing. I mean, there are actual issues as Rebecca said, and this is what he's focusing on. I mean, how is, how does every single person not see this is a transparent attempt to distract people from the real issues? They refuse to focus on anything substantive. And we all know why that's the case. So at the GOP debate, there was a post debate poll from data for progress and it found that a majority of Americans, including a majority of independents, disagree with the policy positions of the GOP. So when they say, yeah, I want to basically abolish the Department of Education, a majority of Americans and independents disagree with that. You know, when they talk about more restrictions on abortions, a majority of independents and Americans disagree with that.   We just want to give our donors more tax cuts. That wouldn't be popular, obviously.    Don't go for this.  I'm sorry. Also, Ted Cruz is just so, he's just so phony. I don't understand how anyone who sees, you know, five seconds of the sky can possibly think anything he's saying is honest. Like he's out of any politician to me out of anybody, Ted Cruz is the phoniest one. Like I have a hard time watching him because he comes off as just, he's acting the entire time. I want to know what Ted Cruz is like in private. Like I'm just, I'm curious who he actually is because we're not getting a real person. He's clearly just an actor. So it's how people do not see this and he's able to see what the elections is stunning to me. I don't, I really don't get it. He's like in real life. Past assaults. He hasn't been canceled yet. Is it woke salt? Get the woke salt away from me. He reminds me of one of those people who they refuse to give you personal space. And when they, when they want to talk to you, they're like one foot away from your face. Like I just get that vibe from him. Uh, I just get the creep vibes. And it, you can, you can, and I know like I am right. Like if I could interview his wife, I guarantee I could get that information out of her. He blamed him going missing when his state was needed him the most. So it was like a year or two ago. He blamed it on his kids. How can you trust somebody like that? He went on vacation and he blamed it on his kids. I forgot about that. He left them to die, literally. And then came back and blamed it on his kids. And then did a photo shoot basically to put on Instagram and such and Twitter where he was just, he had about three cases of water in the back of the truck. And then he was like, take this picture. Let me give it to the five people that we got out here right now.   I gave a case of water to two people.  I did my job.  But then I'm also reminded that America voted for Donald Trump and Donald Trump was also our president. And that's also very embarrassing. Like it's just, we are an embarrassment. I'm just seriously. Yeah.  Okay.   Okay. Land of the free home of the brave. What else is it? It's God bless. The carceral state. We're the melting pot. Everything is better in America. Everything. Every time I leave this place, I'm like reminded, and especially with me being Haitian, like I'm just reminded that even with countries where people are suffering and stuff, like it's just, they find, it's not like this. They wanted to, they want America to seem like it's so great. And a lot of people out of the country, my brother came here in 2012 from Haiti, and he had this big like idea and dreams. And he was like, it's so much suffering here. That man packed up and went back to Haiti. For real? Yeah. Because people really want to come here. People are fighting. I had a cousin under the bridge in September, what, two years ago, who I was going to pick up, and he was taken back to Haiti before I can get to him. But he had dreams and stuff like that. My brother, who got an opportunity to come here later on in his life, but in like 2012. And he was just like, it's just so much suffering. All y'all do is just work. None of y'all have time to spend with your kids. It's hard for us to get any like, like political, like to be able to vote or to do this or to do that. It's all, it's just so difficult. Healthcare. I'm thinking I'm going to be able to get access to healthcare. That's a whole thing. I have to go through a whole process. And then he didn't understand, because of course, where he comes from is predominantly black. He didn't understand that he can't do things because he's black. Like there's certain things that he can't do because of that. America is a joke. I wish it was exactly living up to its standards.  Like it's almost like they're stripping a lot of the work that we put in, that we, we didn't even got to where we need to be. But there are a lot of things that the people before us worked so hard to do. And they have already undone it. Like in these last few years, they just undid it. And I think that's just so crazy. And it's sad that it's being celebrated as that's happening. Right? I mean, like it's, it's seen as a virtue in this country to work yourself to death.  So, you know, it doesn't matter that. Yeah, exactly.  You don't make enough money. And when you come home, you don't have, you know, you don't have any additional support, health care, family, family. The school knows your family more than you do. You got to work so much that, and I ain't even got kids, but this ain't the type of mama I want to be in the future.  That's the only time spent with your kids for most people in America. I think that's, and I think that is just so wild.   That's not, that's not the American way. You got to come here and what is it? Get up by your bootstraps and all of this, you know, all of that, that mess, like you be, walk on the burning sands for literally mediocre, work at a damn corporate job for 25 plus years for you to get any tenure where you can at least rack up, where you can take a family vacation. It's so it's, that is just, that's talking.  It's, yeah, no. So, I mean, it's a good thing your country's sex and can is perfect. So we got no problems here. It's fine. You know there's like a trend on TikTok right now and I don't know if this is true. I haven't been to Canada yet. There's a trend on TikTok right now that's saying that Canada, where a lot of like generation Z and I'll say like later millennials, they're all complaining that housing, the like, Oh, housing crisis. It's the worst here. It's the worst here. It's expensive. I have actually, I have a graph in here, but let me find it. Do you have the one that compares Japan, the U.S. and the UK? I'm trying to do like unaffordability in Canada. It's just like it's off the charts right now. I never knew that. Oh yeah. It exploded really badly in like the last couple years, but it's just like there's so many things contributing to the problem. And I'm not just talking about homelessness.  A two bedroom condo in Vancouver right now is like $1.3 million.   And so to buy anything, you better have $250,000, $300,000 in a bank account somewhere just waiting. It's fucked. It's like, it's so... Not sure I have a nine problems too. I did not know. Dang. Yeah. I just, I don't think I've ever met somebody who has $250,000 just liquid cash. Like I've never, like it's like a unicorn. It's madness. It's madness.  You can buy, you can get provisions. There's like first time homeowners, like bursaries.  You can have like, you know, double couples with double salaries that are really, really good. And even then no one has $200,000 just like lying around. It's like, yeah, for whatever. How about like healthcare? Cause I know for me, I had to, because I had like surgeries and like cysts and all those other things I had to get removed. I knew that I needed to get like healthcare. At the time I was working for, we did like it or not at another place. And we were doing it in the studio. And I remember having the most pain, like it was the worst pain while I was doing the show. And I went to the hospital and they were like, they immediately rushed me in. They sent me a bill and I had to go to work the next day because the people were like, you got to get on air. We don't care. They like, we don't care or whatever. And then the bill was crazy. The bill that I had was crazy. So I thought about, okay, I need to get something that makes sense for me as I'm getting older because I have to go and get checked up like way more than somebody else because of this and stuff like that. And surgery. So when I thought about, okay, the next job I have, I need something to, I need something for healthcare. I need what like good benefits. So how's like healthcare, like in Canada, is that like, do you get healthcare with jobs? I mean, because it's by province. This is going to be different than mine, but I mean, I mean, my experience has honestly been largely great. Like there's definitely issues. There's definitely issues that have come up now. Like we have a conservative provincial government right now that is trying to privatize, or at least not privatized necessarily, but give at least private options that is, that is helping to drain the public system for certain procedures. So that, that isn't helping. He's underpaying nurses, which is also leading to nurses leaving the province and going elsewhere. So there's, there's shortages when it comes to that kind of thing. But like, so when it comes to like the emergency room, I'm not sure how it is in the U.S. I'm sure it's a pain there as well. But if you have to go to the emergency room is you got to wait. Then again, you don't have to pay for anything, right? So like you get, you get treated eventually. You go home. The emergency room is our basically primary care physician because if you don't have insurance thanks to which was passed by Reagan, you go to the emergency room. That's, that was kind of, and you get that bill still. They won't bill you don't work. They gon' see you, but they gon' bill you. You are literally a college student. Don't know nothing about finances.   You got to go somewhere, right? To make sure you ain't pregnant. No, but you got to go somewhere. And then you get there and they're like, yeah, nothing's wrong with you. Take this.  You never seen in a month. $2,000 please. We're like, right. We're like, I don't know where, who, where am I going to get this money? And now that's on your credit. You know, credit makes like, credit everything here goes by credit. Now you can't get a house.   Yeah. See, we don't, yeah, we don't have that problem. I mean, I've, I've never, the, the most I've paid for any healthcare related thing has been like for medication and it's never been over $100.  At the same time, I understand like we, you know, we do pay more in taxes, but in my opinion it's worth it. We would, we pay more, we pay less in taxes than you do to private insurance. So we're still, you know, it's net savings. My health insurance is the cheapest option that I can get on the Obamacare exchanges. And it's $800 a month for me and my husband.  And this is true for every single American. Like I, I didn't have insurance for basically most of my life until Obamacare made it so that way you could stay on your family's plan until you're 26. But even then I ended up losing the insurance that I had because I found out that the insurance that I was paying for was just junk insurance. And it didn't really cover a lot. Like it covered my primary care physician, but it was a junk insurance. But I had just gotten promoted at my job. So I was hoping to get insurance, but I found out you had to pay for that. And it was very expensive and it didn't cover everything. And like the care that I needed, it made more sense to just pay out of pocket. Because for example, like dental, I mean, am I going to pay like, I don't know how much a few, I don't know what it is for dental in general, because I've never paid for it, but like I can just spend $3,000 every five to 10 years.   But like it just, none of it makes sense and it's all so expensive. Yeah. And that's the, that is the reality for like healthcare, Americans and healthcare. It's crazy. I had, when I moved to New York right after college, I had to, I mean, essentially I was homeless, I was in a room with two little girls. That's how I was like saving my coins and a dog that peed in front of the bed, but that's neither here or there. I had to put in that I was homeless in order for me to get some kind of healthcare in New York, in New York City. And I went to a dentist. I still got a scar on my lip. It was a hood dentist. Like some man that he just, he accidentally drilled my lip. Oh my God. Yeah. It was crazy. It was bleeding for a while. And I'm just like, here's my insurance. This is, this is the free insurance. This is what it gets me.  I said, see, this is my, this is what gets the hair going. It was a man. This is what it worked. Oh my God. This is what it was. Yeah.  And this is what you get. And here we have Ted Cruz making a big deal, doing a full scene. Okay.  That reminds me. So there's a, you know, student loan payments are going to resume soon. But because now. Are they, aren't they postponing it for 2000, like the rest of 2023 years? I don't know. Not according to the email. Yeah. They're, they're emailing me calling me. They're probably going to call tonight. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know that Rebecca's probably feeling the same existential dread that I'm feeling as well with those emails. Whenever I see it now that I'm like, Oh, I don't want to look Navi. It won't leave me alone.  Hey, what's going on? Hey, Oh, it's so funny is that like, I actually, so when I, when you get in, so I was in a PhD program for like a year. I ended up leaving to do humanist report. But anyways, you don't need student loans, technically, because you work for the university and they, they pay for your tuition essentially. I mean, cost of living is not covered. So you're still kind of fucked. But I took out a student loan so I could go to the dentist.  See, no, it's okay. So my situation that we talked about how the creditors I took out that credit card. Right. When I was in college to get my brother through school, like to get him because I mean my parents are immigrants. They came, they couldn't afford yet. Student loans are saying we made too much, which is ridiculous. Yeah. You didn't even make enough to live. So like I took out not knowing anything about nothing. Right. As a little like a young girl, I think I was like 19, 20. And my little brother wanted to cut. He wanted to go to fam. He wanted to go to family, but he wanted to go to school in Tallahassee. And I told him, my parents are like, he's going to be on yours because we can't afford it. And I was like, all right, I'm going to go. Those people, they, oh my God, they pray those bank of America, those bank, those people, they go to the campus and like look for people. They're like, Hey, do you need something? And I'm like, wow, this is coming at the right time for me. My brother needs to get to school. Wow. Convenience. Like this is great. This is so great. It took me less than 24 hours to get that credit card. I signed him up for his first semester and, you know, and here we are. Here we are. And, you know, they went and Siege my money, all kinds of stuff. Like I'm some kind of criminal, but this is what this is what we got to do to make it. You think you're doing something. Okay. You got to literally Rob Peter to pay Paul and people are just playing in our face every day.   We couldn't go to school. So you going to go to school. And I did that. And now look like they, they're like, no, we're going to get that money in blood. And we signed over your life to us at 17. I mean, too bad.  If you actually take a look at how much corporate profits, especially like, I'm not just talking making more money.  The profit margins have been increasing post COVID. They're just printing cash, whether it be like, you know, in the food industry, in the service industry, in the pharmaceutical industry, all these people are making obscene amounts of money.  They're all they're taking your beer away. Watch out. Yeah. The prices are going up across the board just on everything. Like the little things that we have to distract ourselves like Netflix and PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass. They're all originally priced.  Like when you start to take away these distractions from us though, that's when you start to see real social unrest. Because you know, as long as we have Netflix and we have the computer games track ourselves. Yeah. Then everything. No, we in there. Listen, Netflix. Oh, 1999. You don't even know when it's coming out. Why do I have any of these things? Like I can't even afford it, but I got those things. It's like, man, I can't even, I can't pay my bills, but I'm going to watch me some good shows. Okay. Yeah. Like we got to live. We got to live. You have to have some enjoyment in your life. Yeah. Like I'm not going to, it can make you really depressed or you figure it out. Like if I'm going to have to live paycheck to paycheck, I'm going to do that.  Like just miserable, be miserable or figure out something to do with yourself and fight for the cause in the same, in the same way or something like, but just realize like, I know that when I have children, I want to know that the people that I'm voting for, and I want to know that these people have us in mind, our future kids, or if we don't want kids, they have us in mind so that their communities can be fed. Like everybody, housing doesn't have to be such a crisis where we're still, we're paying mortgage prices in apartment, in apartments. Right. And it's, that's like, we can't even, a lot of us can't buy houses. We can't do all of this. It's not that we don't want to. It's not that we probably don't want to have families. We just can't afford to, we can't. So that's just the reality. That's true. If I was, if I lived in the U.S., I would not have had a child. Like, I don't even know how people afford to have children. Like it's, it's... You gotta pay for it. I don't know if you don't have insurance. How am I going to, how am I going to have this baby at the house? Cause I can't afford to go do it at the hospital. It's crazy. I have no idea how it's done. No clue. Let alone have two of them.  That's what stopped my siblings. You never sleep. You're always working. So I'm sure, you know, you found a way. Yeah, it's called always working. I was wondering on the healthcare thing. So one of the other benefits I often discuss is that I never have to think about healthcare in the sense that I don't have insurance company or anything. Have you had to like negotiate or like talk to your insurance company? Like have you had discussions where you've had to like fight for things to be covered? Like is that, is that a thing you had to go through? Yeah. Yeah, that is. That's like built into it. I was curious about that experience. Like it's not, it's not will you. It's like, it's like how, how long will you have to deal with it? Can I, can I do a payment plan? You know, I know I have another surgery coming up. So do I, so can I, if I, if I put this on this credit card and if I go ahead and I get paid on this day, can you guys go and deduct it on this day? But my other surgery is coming up. So can we just push that out a little bit? They'll be like, well, sweetie, we're not going to be able to do that procedure.  We're not going to be able to do that procedure unless, unless. And then when the bill comes, you also can try calling in, they already got you in collections because medical, they got collections all over.  But usually they want, they want their money.  So it's back to getting those, those calls. This is, this is true life like for an average American. So this is not, and this is, I got a job, you know, and life has hit me hard in this last month. But, you know, still we got to, you got to figure out how to make things work or I've seen people really crash and just give in. When I was living in New York, I saw so many people that I, that I went to school with. Just go and be homeless. Just live outside because they can't afford to live anywhere. Just because it was easier just to say, man, eff it. I'm just going to, it is what it is like. Yeah. And the opposite of that. I'm looking at an article here that says corporate windfall profits surged to $1 trillion a year as working people suffer an analysis released Thursday shows 722 of the world's top corporations made a combined windfall profit of $1 trillion per year in 2021 and 2022 as people across the planet struggle to meet basic needs. Yeah. And that, that happens and Republicans pretend like the number one problem with corporations is that they're too woke or there's these diversity programs. When it's like, if you think that that is the, that's your number one critique about corporations, you are living in an entirely different life than the average person. So do you see there fighting on the behalf of the pharmaceutical industry right now? Like the pharmaceutical industry for the first time is. Yeah, it's going to be negotiating with Medicaid for like 10 medications and there's like, if you do this, like you won't be able to discover any new drugs. That's how it works. Trust us, please. And like, that's not how this works at all motherfuckers. You all are lying. Oh, right. In some, I remember as Nina Turner, she, uh, at Ohio, she tweeted out and that was like the, oh my God, the Republicans were so mad that she said insulin should be free. Right. Oh my God. That was like trending for days on Twitter because she said that. Um, I forgot who responded to her, but it was a whole thing. And they were so upset. Um, I think they said something racist. It was one of the libertarian parties. Yeah. Yeah. And then everybody wanted though, like how dare she say that insulin should be free.  You guys have a following. You guys have a power. You guys can help push and, you know, help America actually be great. But no, you guys have all this money, fight for the wrong things, uh, endorse the wrong people, keep people in these seats. You know, speaking of keeping people in these seats, y'all saw what happened to Mitch McConnell. Oh, yes. One person again. Yeah. I was watching this. Are we going to play that? Yeah, we can play it. Yeah. I was really frustrated seeing the news articles about this and like they're reporting on this because it's like, well, it could be this. He could have this. It's like, he's dying. He's a thousand years old. Do we really need to talk about it this, this much? I mean, it's obvious. He is literally dying in front of all of us. That's what we're going to see. He's disconnected. Yeah. He's definitely glitching out. Like he looks emaciated. Like he looks like, he looks like he's been dead for years. I mean, isn't that, this isn't surprising. Aren't we all dying though in real time? I mean. That's not human experience. Not as, not as obviously as this man is. So, and the most, one of the most amazing parts about this is the question he's asked right before he's running for re-election. Yeah. Yeah. Running for re-election in 2026. Please do. Did you hear the question Senator running for re-election in 2026? All right. I'm sorry. Are you all working? What's confusing to me is that he can, he responded to yes. He said yes? Yeah. He said yes to her. He heard the question. Oh, I didn't notice that. Did you hear the 2026? Oh, OK. It looks, it looks. Yeah. He dropped that list. He looks like. It was a struggle for him to say yeah. Yeah. It was a struggle. Like maybe that's why he couldn't say anything else. But like there. He's just. You guys, this is honestly sad. Like this reminds me of this reminds me of my grandma. This reminds me of my grandma like shortly before she died. Like this is what. No, like look. So in my, I covered this and in my video I discussed like obviously he's a terrible person. Like what his impact on society is horrible. But just like watching him it's in this moment happened. I feel empathy in the sense that I feel anyone who's in that position who's that old suffering like that. Like it reminds me of people I've known that have gone through this. Yeah. And it's just it's like, it's not necessarily like, you know, I don't want to feel empathy for Mitch at all because he's not a good person. But it's just, you know, anyone going through this, I feel like what if it was, you know, my grandmother or what if it was like me? Like that's, that's kind of what.  You'll never get it. I might be a sociopath or a bad person. I know, but that doesn't mean I should be like somebody with a dead grandma who died like recently. I see that and I just like I put the smile on my face. Am I weird? Is something wrong with me am I broken? Because I don't think I make me genuinely happy to see him die. Is that. I prefer not. I prefer just not to have any real feelings about it.  He hasn't. I'm going to take what I can get. That's. Whatever, whatever happens to him, it happened to him. I, you know, that's my, that's my feelings on the matter. I mean, he's someone who would not have, you know, be empathetic in someone else's situation. In fact, he would already be strategizing about the political implications of what this means for the party. Yes. Or in in Congress, like this would be. He was a vulture. He would be right on top of this, like no, no tomorrow. So I mean. He has health care. Health care. Yeah. He has health care and many don't like. So in the more general sense, do I feel bad for him? No. Do I wish for anything to have? I mean, I don't have to wish for anything. It seems like it's just going to happen. It's going to happen. It's going to happen. It's going to happen. You can't help it. So I mean, my feeling. My feeling on the matter is whatever happens happens. You know. Yeah. I'm so much more cynical than that. Like it's not just that it's like, oh, he's dying and that gets me a pleasure.  Like I want to hopefully it's a lot. I mean, I'm sorry. I have to say that's that's on my. That's on my heart right now. OK. When I found out about this before I watch the clip and I just heard about it, I'm like, nice. OK, let's get some more of these moments. It's painful third. This is like the second time we've seen it. And it's the same thing, though. It's like he's freezing in the moment. And as soon as they ask him about re-election or something, it's like a trigger, something in him. That man is tired. First of all, he's been sitting somebody. I think Dan from the Internet had posted and said he's been seated longer than, you know, the inception of Mario. There's been there since 8084. Yes. Oh, my God. Right. That is more than Mario. I didn't know that. Yes. So it's insane.  So nobody has. And he and he's never thought to change how he views things.  Right. It's 1774. But, you know, it's very vintage. Never tried to change or update his thought process. And he's been seated here. So there's nothing that he has needed to. He hasn't he didn't need to do anything. He just people keep voting him in. He has that he he's grandfather in the system. He has that respect. But there is nothing I can say that Mitch McConnell has done that has been so significant after being seated so long. But he's hurt a lot of people. Now that's significant. He's hurt a lot of people. He's taken away a lot of opportunities for people. And to watch it, I don't like to see people like in this state. Like now, there are a lot of means that I can't lie. I did. I don't know about not like I mean, what state? So crazy, I think there's a spectrum, right? There's my response. And then there's the more human response with Rebecca and David. But for me, here's this to defend myself. I do want to say I have no problem. I don't think it's good.  I have no feeling. My feeling is the guy shouldn't be in office. That's the general feeling. Yeah, absolutely. We can. I don't care. I don't care what happens to him. Same with Diane, fine scene. Everyone else who is just not sentient right now, they're not aware of the surroundings.  I don't care what happens to him either way. I think it's totally I think when, you know, I mean, when terrible people die, you could certainly celebrate. I don't think they're wrong. Yeah, yeah. I guess the issue is when they're alive and suffering through whatever I just prefer not to have any feelings about it because who cares? Let the fair it'll run its course. What it's course. Well, to each their own, I'm going to take the L, the W, not the L. I'm going to take the W where I can find it. And here's what I'll say. OK, to defend myself, this is really important. Any time you are feeling a sense of shot and Freud at a bad person and you're not sure, like, are they that bad of a person? Just do what I call the Henry Kissinger test where it's like, OK, if this were Henry Kissinger, would it be bad to feel this way? It's like, no, I don't. This this man has the blood of so many people on his hands.  I don't care if he dies. And it's not just that I don't care. Like, it's not just ambivalence. Like, it's a joy that his death is a sense of like justice for all the pain and suffering that he caused.  People are dying due to a lack of health insurance.    And honestly, like just that right there, it's not just satisfactory. But like, if he like froze and like fell over and like split his head open, I would I would I would smile. I'm not going to I would smile. Listen, listen, I think there's a difference to what you're saying. Like, listen, I'm I'm I'm awful. I'm all rolling. I have to be very specific, very specific. I'm all for rolling with the punches. Yeah, I'm just like, I think you're going to go this hard. I was not expecting this to happen. I'm holding back. I'm holding back. I wouldn't.  He's got to dig out. Oh, yeah. I wouldn't. I'm in that more. So crazy. I wouldn't wish something horrible. I wouldn't want or wish something horrible on anyone. With that being said, being that it's not on my hands and it just so happens to be going on and happening on its own, I'll just take it as it goes. You know, it's karma, it's karma. It's, you know, you reap what you sow in there. They're evangelical. So they know that very well.  And him, he'd been in that seat a long time. So we're about a hundred. Oh, what does I don't believe? I don't believe you are popular in the chat. I don't believe in karma. Me. That's the problem. I mean, all of them, though. You don't believe in karma. I don't believe in karma because none of these guys ever get their comeuppance. No one ever gets their comeuppance. No, I will say it.  He's how old, 80 something?  There is there is karma happening right now. So he he lived he lived a life that can I talk. Can I talk? Can I talk? I've been waiting for five minutes. The one thing that does give me pleasure right now is that Republicans are turning on him like that. But this guy has this guy has done everything for the party. He's has sold his soul to the party and they still hate him. To me, that is the most beautiful part about all of this is that they Marjorie Taylor Green was like, he should he should get out now. Like, do you understand why you have a Supreme Court majority? Do you understand he's stole a seat for you? Like, do you understand the amount of work he's given you? And you have no respect for him at all. It's amazing to me. That is the most that is the most beautiful part.  So it's not it's not worth doing. They're going to be just as nasty as you, very fickle. As soon as you die, they're going to replay it, even though it's been a hundred long years. But as soon as you die, they're going to replace you with somebody else. You're going to be forgotten. You there's no the history. It's going to be this. This is going to be Mitch McConnell's history.  Because, like, again, there was nothing positive or significant like that he did, except for a lot of bad things. People are people are going to remember that.  Like a lot of people are fit. We're naturally fickle people. Look, one day we people hate Kanye. Then Kanye comes out and they're like, oh, my God, Kanye is the old Kanye again. He's so great. And like, you know what, forget all the other stuff that he said. We're very fickle people. We cancel and uncancel people every day, depending on how popular it is, how, you know, what was the trend. That's what we do. So like for Mitch McConnell, I haven't really, you know, I don't. I didn't know that the Republicans were turning on him. And I didn't know that he didn't have like he's losing them. But at the same time, I think they're ready for him to die. I really do. I mean, but they're they're losing. He he lost them, though, because he wouldn't do all it took for Donald Trump. And he would likely criticize Donald Trump. Let's be clear, like it's not like he's losing them for anything. It's not like they are looking at him with or away live in real time.  If he didn't do that, continuing to push forth the Republican agenda. I mean, in the same way that there is plenty of die in the world, Democrats who are happy with Dianne Feinstein to go the same route, you know, for the Democrats.  She has no committee seats or any real power. But I mean, she has real power as a senator, but she has no committee seats or anything in terms of what's getting voted on or anything like that. She's just a vote, whereas Mitch McConnell is like the Senate minority leader. He's the head of the Republicans, you know, and yeah, I mean.  And he already said he's going to put a black woman in that seat. That would be Barbara Lee and they don't want Barbara Lee. They want Adam Schiff. So they're basically propping up this dead corpse all to keep Barbara Lee out of the Senate.   But what they're doing is straight up elder abuse. Is it a guarantee that he would choose Barbara Lee? Though like I've heard that there has to be another black woman he would choose that's closer to his Gavin Newsom is not with Barbara Lee on like the on, you know, her positions. Like he's he's a lot like he, you know, he plays progressive, but that's not who he is. So I would be surprised if Gavin Newsom actually put Barbara Lee in there. Like it's like I do understand that they don't want him choosing. I think the real issue is that they don't want him choosing at all. All right. Like they want they want a proper, you know, primary and that they want to push their candidate with a completely level playing field. And because they have so much money, they're going to have that advantage. But I would be surprised if Gavin Newsom chose Barbara Lee. But that's just we don't see him. Yeah, yeah.  It's a it's crazy. It's crazy. It's true. Another thing that is I don't know if you guys have seen on the radio that they're not talking about, that they don't want to talk about, that should not be as common as it is. And we're so desensitized to to the point where it doesn't make it past two, three days in the news, even though it just happened on Sunday. The Jacksonville mass murder. And I don't know if you guys heard about that. It happened on, I believe it's Sunday. And there was like a it's a hate crime. The shooter, who was 21, Brian Christopher Paul meter went into a Donald Dollar General in the local area of Jacksonville and shot three black people. I think he had a swastika or something on like mark on the gun. And he went to Edgar Waters first, which is a college university in HBCU, a historically black college university in the area. He went there first, but was turned away. And I think he went to another store and he told what there was an eyewitness who said that she was told by the gunman that if she wanted to live, she would have to like run or something like that. And she ended up doing that. She was with her daughter and she was just thinking about saving her child.  And it's just so sad that, of course, what anytime we want it, we should be discussing mental health. The right doesn't want to discuss it and its proper form. But when there is something like this, a hate crime, specifically when it's targeting, you know, a specific group of people, black people at that, it's like, but what was going on? And I said this on my show that they they want us to believe and to think and to have these type of talking points that we've heard police officers say he was just having a bad day. We've heard we've seen police officers take like people like Dylan Ruth after shooting up a whole church to go get Burger King. OK, we've seen we we know how these people are treated, especially in these hate crimes, so they want to always play it down. But this has been happening for the history of black people in this country. And it's I think it will be remiss of us. We will platforms not to discuss this because even these stories used to at least make it past, you know, a week in, you know, on on on television on mainstream where they're having these conversations and we're seeing experts have these conversations. People would have been rallying in the streets about this. But now it's we're it's happening so much and it's almost like these Republicans are winning instead of being able to talk about gun laws, gun control, to to put things into law that protects black people from these hate crimes or to acknowledge it. They're they're going to talk about anything else but that. And that's what I see here.  And we have politicians, especially on the right, who are part of the problem. They whistle blow. They allow a lot of these people who we can see what they do. All these people on the right, these politicians have to do, say Trump's name or something of the sort or say that Black Lives Matter is a problem or whatever. And people can rally up like they did on January 6th, right at the Capitol. Right there, like there's a lot of whistleblowing going on from these people in power on the right. They don't got to go do the work. These other people will literally go out there and do the work for them. What Charlie Kirk or whatever his name is, bust a whole bunch of domestic terrorists over there to the Capitol. They will fund this stuff. They got Kyle Rittenhouse outside, rich off of what he did. And this is where it's really problematic to me. I think this is like the fact that this just happened, the fact that that same day, I believe there was an attempted mass murder at a church where somebody tried to go do it at a church, shoot up a black church. These things are happening so much and they want us to become desensitized to it. It's traumatic to talk about, but we got to keep talking about this because something has to be done. Something needs to be done. I don't know how or what. And this happening, I think, on the anniversary of MLK's speech, or it sucks, because these are things that he was talking about the change and we're still not there. We're going back in time. This is something that we can say and it might sound cliche, but the truth is we are going back in time and they don't want to recognize that black people in America are like we're being gunned down.  It's it's so infuriating the way that they move the goalpost to, as you were saying, Rebecca, like with the mental health situation, like this is somebody who was involuntarily committed and he was able to purchase that gun legally.  So I mean, this is one of those interest instances where it's swastikas on the gun, swastikas on the gun. Yeah, you would think that this would trigger a broader conversation, but that didn't really happen. I was pleased to see like the Santas getting a lot of heat because of this climate that he's cultivated in Florida.  Like this is this is been like defending that vicious history about slavery being beneficial to slaves.  That's the one that got caught, by the way, at the fire.  What like what made you think that this could be a press hop for you?  This is happening in Florida. Rhonda Santas is out there in Florida. He's he is one of the whistleblowers out there in Florida. A lot of the leaders that he is the main leader there that's taken away a lot of our our black history to replace it with lies. And and people think they're winning. They think this is this is patriot. This is this is American. This is how America should be the way that Rhonda Santas is functioning and how he's running Florida. Yet it's very problematic and is dangerous. The Florida representative out there in Jacksonville, I believe her name is Angie Nixon. She did a few interviews. She did one powerful interview where she got super emotional and she had to and she had to say while she was getting emotional that she's not an angry black woman. The thing is, you have the right to be an angry black.  You have the right to be angry because you don't know if it could be you, your son, your daughter, your family member. You don't know. And the person who was leading your state does not give a damn and is making changes where people are able to get guns, where people can go ahead and say that their mental health was the problem. And this is it's it's scary. It's very it's a scary time and that this can happen. And two, three days later, it's not national news. It's not an important story because it's happening so often. And I think this should not be this way. It should not be this way. And the conversation should go into putting our leaders, putting things into law that protect black people in these times. For sure, we need something. We need something. That's what I can say that I thought it was very. I love that when during covid, a lot of we saw a lot of Asian hate crime because of Donald Trump was still blowing, talking about it was the Chinese disease and all that stuff and people were beating up Chinese people randomly or people that they thought were from China, just being Asian because of that. And what happened, what we did see was our leadership in Kamala Harris and in Biden, where they created something to protect Asians from hate crimes.  And I couldn't believe that in that time. And that really bothered me, that that bothered me. And when you say stuff like that, we got these hate crimes going on every damn day. All the time I stepped out here and I go to the grocery store. I got to I have to act like I'm listening to some music or whatever the case may be. Just to just be calm. I go early in the morning and I remember I heard at the local Kroger something fell on the floor. I I got so scared. A couple of other black people was looking at me. I'm looking at them. We're looking at exits. We had to immediately start doing that. And it was just a sign that fell on the floor while everybody else was walking and just fine. This is how we have to shop. This is how we have to walk around. This is our life.  This it's it's it's disgusting. It's frustrating. It's sad that a state representative there decided to do something against Rhonda St. St. Florida and because she had had the audacity to hold him accountable, he put he placed her like in. I think she said it was like a the bottom of a building or something like that because she challenged him on something. He's he's doing this out there in Florida. I remember also for people who when it was time to go vote, he went around would put had police officers go to former felon's house that were mostly black and tell them that they had to go to jail because of trumped up charges like, oh, you it shows that your address is here next door, but you're really living here. So you got to go to jail. Scaring black folks. This time this is not there's black people are under attack. This is not something that I'm saying just because I want race wars or just because I wanted to sound good or I want to sound like a powerful black woman. This is actually my truth. This is our truth here.  We can't get nothing. We can't do nothing. We can't say nothing. But when something like this happens, we can't turn to blind. I like this did not happen. This happened a few days ago. A mass murder. People are gone. Somebody woke up to no child, no mother, no brother.  Like every single time they talk about this is a mental health issue. It was meant for mental health, clearly, but that radicalized them into being a white supremacist neo-nazi. Like I'm sorry, like when it's because you want to ignore part of the picture, I assume. Well, and it's not just that like nothing is being done. Like there's there's never any actions that are taken after something like this, not just because we've been desensitized, but because they don't care. They being the politicians. But the discourse around this is insane. So like I talked about this interview with Vivek Rama Swamy. He was on the Sunday shows after this had taken place and they asked him about this. And he basically blamed black people like he he said that basically diversity and the people fighting for equality like I'm paraphrasing, but this is essentially what he said. They're the reasons why there's so much division because the embers of racism was almost gone until it was reignited by these people who just want equality. And so like that's where we're at. It's so frustrating because we're so far away from where we need to be with with regards to even just the conversation we need to have. It's sickening.  Do we have that clip of him saying that? There's a couple and Dixon did a really good video on it, by the way. I recommend that he did and he called me about it. And we had to like pray with each other before even having the conversation because it's such it's tense. It's like it's really stressful and he he's in Jacksonville. He he stays up the street from that dollar that dollar general. He got kids. And so like this is in his I think nephew plays at Edgar Waters, which is the HBCO is discussing. And and so this, you know, it can be anywhere and it can touch us close to home at any point in time. This is just sickening that it's not. Um, even mass murders in general, we're not talking like they're happening. They're happening and a lot of a lot of this is happening because of I think like there are gun laws are so loose in these different states and all and the people want to say they're crazy.  Your laws here did that. You did that as a leader. You did that. And so it's just like it's very frustrating that they don't. And I always say this, you know, is now a good time to talk gun control right after the master is now a good time. When is it going to be a good time? Don't politicize it. Yeah, don't politicize it, which by the way, it's really weird that if you go just past this imaginary line known as the border and enter Canada per capita, we don't have this problem, right? Like, or if you look at other comparable countries, you don't see the same problem happening like we have violence. We have lots of violence. We have hate crimes. We have racism.  But we don't have the same number of mass shootings that you all have in America for a very clear reason. There's a lot stricter gun control laws here. Yeah, and there's no health care to deal with the trauma that this affects. Like it's not just like the families of the victims. Like this affects people in that community. It affects Rebecca, who is worried about a sign. I mean, this is it's so unhealthy. And the problem is that the people in power, they are fanning the flames. That's that's what really makes this so much worse. Like it's the culmination of a ton of policy failures, but, you know, a lack of gun control. And then when you have politicians basically openly white supremacists at this point, I mean, that's going to fan the flames. I mean, Tucker Carlson, he was doing the great replacement therapy theory, not therapy, mixing it up, need therapy, though. But he was doing the great replacement theory on national television. And after that point, it kind of became even more normalized.  Because I like it's it's happened across the country in so many different communities. And if it hasn't happened in your community, it's happened closer.  Yeah, it was this way blames trans people, too. Yeah, here's. Yeah, he had two different appearances. I mean, he had similar message for both. Right. There are more race based violent crimes on the right than on the left. Why is this a little more pervasive, a lot more pervasive on the right? Well, the fact of the matter is, I think that there's a lot more violence that's also pervasive in parts of the country that supposedly are left wing voter bases. So I don't think this is a left versus right issue. And I don't think we should try to politicize this through partisan goggles, either, Chuck, especially in the wake of a tragedy like this one. The fact is they're ignore the manifesto dying on the south side of Chicago. Do you ignore the elements that allowed this manifesto to spread online and that what we're, you know, it does feel as if social media connects some of these hate hateful ideologies. Well, the fact of the matter is I do think we have two standards that we're even applying if we're having a conversation about manifestos. We still have not yet even seen the manifesto of that transgender shooter in Nashville of a Christian school. And yet here we're focusing on the motive. So if we want to look at this through a politicized lens, let's look at what the political media and the political establishment is doing differentially and how they analyze different crimes and then create a new narrative around it. It's so ridiculous. It's so ridiculous.  So that's one of the reasons why people have it already. He actually put it out there. He distributed it.  So they're not considering it in a manifesto. It's like finding someone's journal after like they've done something and then being like, is this like, you know, what your manifesto is? That wasn't the point like you can't.  Yes, so fucked. Not to mention like what's what like what would the trans person why would the shooting have anything to do with them being trans?  It's a pattern of behavior.  There's nothing like it's such a bizarre. It's just an attempt to try and distract from the reality that he doesn't want to admit the subtext is that the true Nazi is the trans shooter and this gender ideology.  I mean, that's that's kind of the subtext. I mean, this is what they've kind of said. That's exactly what he said. That's what he said. Yeah, right into that. And that's this is what they do. They will dive. We're talking about what the what? OK, the manifesto you going over here. Well, the real story is about are you kidding me right now? First of all, and I said this before, too, the vape, right? Is that it? The vape like steak. The vape. Let me say something. And fake, like snake. Like snake, that's a better way to say all of this. Meanwhile, the same people that he's capping for like he's speaking for that he's using their talking points. I said this. They look at him like he is Osama bin Laden.  You think that you fit in with these people.  You are you even Christian or even you're they've already turned. They've already turned on him. Like fuck, he's criticized him this week. Yeah, you're not even they don't want you.  Why are you over here doing all of this?     They don't care for you. So all of this is going to be for nothing. They're going to turn their backs on you again, fickle people. OK, he also have to say. I don't think he cares like he's he's looking at his history, how he made his money. He helped to. So I'm not sure how much you guys read into this or know about his history, but he founded a pharmaceutical company that called Reuvent R.O.I. By the way, it was purposely R.O.I. because return on investment was like that's part of the name. Like the whole point of this pharmaceutical company is making up, making money like that, like it's in the name on purpose. Yeah. And so their whole thing was buying up a shelved pharmaceuticals from other manufacturers from other pharmaceutical companies that shelved a product because it didn't do well in clinical trials or they couldn't take the market for whatever reason. So his idea was to buy up these pharmaceuticals and then try and make them something. So he bought up this one Alzheimer's pharmaceutical, tried to use one of the clinical trials that failed, but tried to make it look like it was actually successful in some way by changing how you perceive some of the data and then used his mom who is like a doctor, like as like one of the authoritative voices on like approving actually how successful this drug is. They and so they had like he had like a it was a crazy IPO on the company because of this fake because of this drug that wasn't going to work. Of course, he got a ton of money invested into it.  Then the drug fails like the clinical trial that they do like a disaster. So it didn't never went to market, never went anywhere.  He was fine. Everyone that invested into it, you know, lost, but it's one of the many investments these people make. So, you know, the vast majority of those who invested into it were fine.  So he his whole purpose, his whole purpose now, I think, is just to try and make this is his new venture, try and make a name for himself, much like Andrew Yang did for a Democratic Party by being I forgot about him. Yeah, everyone did. So this is what some of these people do every election cycle.  This is my way to make a name for myself, get on television on, you know, you do get a lot of press. Think think of the millions of dollars in press. He's getting through all of this. Yeah, all the free press he has now. People now know his name, know who he is. He's recognizable and he's going to be able to capitalize on that on that for the rest of his life. So that's the game. That makes sense to me. Yeah, I don't think he cares either way about how the base may feel about him because he's brown or Hindu. I think it's for him as long as he can make some money off of whatever he's doing. That's that's his his focus. That's his whole thing. And a lot of people live their lives that way.  Yeah, did you guys see this? So I'm sending it to you in the chat. Hold on, pull up this video. Is it about Eminem? No, Vivek. Yeah, Vivek and Eminem. No. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I sent it to a cease and desist. Yeah, yeah, you lose yourself. I yeah, yeah, no more, no more. This I cover this this week. This is part of my big video, actually. This is just there to see. Yeah, that's crazy to me. Reverend Shepton, hello, I'm Vivek and I want to ask you a last week on the show, we had Senator Kerry and this week and the week before we had Senator Edwards. And my question for you is, of all the Democratic candidates out there, why should I vote for that one with the least political experience?  What a question. But the way that... Coming from the guy with the least political experience in the race. But Reverend Shepton definitely handed him. This is thick Reverend Shepton, so he handed him. Oh, it's a good answer, yeah, you're watching the interview. Why should I vote for that one with the least political experience? Well, you shouldn't, because I have the most political experience. I got involved in the political movement when I was 12 years old and I've been involved in social policy for the last 30 years. So don't confuse people that have a job with political experience. Whoever the head of some local bureaucracy has a job in Cambridge. That doesn't mean that they have political experience and it doesn't mean they have experience to run the United States government. So I think that we confuse title holders with political experience. As we have seen with the president occupant in the White House, George Bush was a governor and clearly has shown he doesn't have political experience. Which by the way, I agree with him completely. I think he's completely right. But he's also had, you know... I can see that. Even now I can see how you were describing him, the fake. Like, I feel like even in this moment with that cheesy smile when he was asking his question, and it just gave like, I need to ask this question. I know it's going to be kind of offensive, but yeah, I'm going somewhere in my life. Like, look at just poor Jesus. Used to be on television. And yeah, Pete Buttigieg is a picture of Pete Buttigieg. May have been the same episode, but it's that show like the same year. It's so bizarre that two presidential candidates were like, on hardball, asking questions in 2000 boxes for a while. They were forged in the same factory, by the way. It's a perfect sort of audience though, for that type that... Yes, yeah, that's true. That centrist, well I guess Vivek is, but he was seemingly then like a Harvard-esque, you know, neoliberal... Yeah, they have no politics. Yeah. He said that the GOP debates that he came from like modest means, like a poor family. I don't think so. No, it never gave. It never gave for that for him. Even though he wanted to, he doesn't, he doesn't even play up on that. He tries to, but he knows that wasn't his story. Now, it may have been, you know, his parents' story or whatever, but that's not his. Yeah, oftentimes these guys, yeah, they adopt, like their parents struggle for their own, like... He was born in 1985 in Cincinnati, Ohio. His father worked as an engineer and patent attorney for General Electric. His mother worked as a geriatric psychiatrist. They had money, I'm sure. Wow. Okay, he's an engineer and psychiatrist. Okay, listen, anything engineer? Not just an engineer, a patent attorney for General Electric. Oh, for the general... Yeah, no, that's... David, I put it in the chat, but I'll show you Fox News debunking. This is a Fox News debunking of his claims. It's in the Streamlabs chat. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, they even say it here. His parents were lawyer and psychiatrist. Already had a stock portfolio when he graduated, turning on private high school. Elite private high school. You see? Oh, God, wait a minute. I didn't see this. Hold on, has the vape come out? I'm sure he has and been on the... I mean, we just saw the anti-trans, the whole grooming, anti-LGBTQ beat. This is... I didn't know about this. This is the New Yorker in a profile of him. Ramaswamy's political awakening began not at home, but in the company of a conservative Christian piano teacher with whom he took private lessons with from elementary through high school. That is where his conservative leanings come from, a private piano teacher who was a conservative Christian. It's getting weird. That's very weird. It's very bizarre. That's very bizarre. The best way. What were they doing during this piano lesson? I mean, how did it even come up? It's giving suspect. It's giving... It's giving what it's both people. Those weirdos, yeah. Very weird. Do we have the Among Us sound effect? We need that. I mean, I'm not even going this step further in saying anything happened there. I'm just saying how weird is it to get these...  No, no, no. I didn't even learn how to play music from my music teacher. That's what it looks like. No, it says that. Meanwhile... His mom having that license, again, this is why he was able to sell that Alzheimer's...  You see what I'm saying? It's like a lot of things were handed to him and that's not a bad thing. People shouldn't be... Why do you want to have a struggle story so bad? Yeah, exactly. Just be honest about who you are. Absolutely. You can't control who you're born into. Just don't fake it. But he's not honest about it. And I think that's what is not working in his favor. And we've seen that when we just really... Our eyes were bleeding watching that debate. But he was not... At first, he started off real hard and then immediately, we were like, okay, now he's acting. Like, and that's what he's doing. He's taking talking points that are trending off of Twitter or X. And then he's coming out there and trying to find like a personality to be to the point where he reached in his pocket and he allowed Mike Pence to say, you want to be Barack Obama. So bad, so bad. And if you allow Mike Pence to tell you that, like you should, that's embarrassing. That's embarrassing. Now, Vivek, he also is adopting all of these racist talking points. And for him to be who he is, it's very...  I think he was one of the people that said to focus on the shootings or the crime in Chicago. Like, he goes there all the time when we have to... And it's just dumb. It's just dumb. He doesn't have any... I don't... He doesn't have any swag. He looks like he was like the last one chosen all the time when they had to like pick sport. He just looks like he wants to be chosen so bad. This is... He's fighting to be chosen so bad.  When he was a first year law student in Yale, he had an income of two over $2 million as a student. Remember what we were saying? Even though nobody was $200,000, just sitting around... And then three years prior... Three years prior to him being a first year law student, he made a million. So he... Like, we're talking like, I guess early 20s, he's, you know, multi-millionaire already. When was the struggle? Oh my God. Since he chose this populist lane, he does have to lark as a quote-unquote working class person. So, you know, he's got to fabricate that story. But no, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, like all these other pricks. Yeah, he's insufferable. And one thing that has remained on my mind since you said it, Rebecca, is that he looks like Jimmy Neutron. Yes, the brown Jimmy Neutron. I can't get that out of my head. He looks like Jimmy Neutron. I love to see Jimmy Neutron, but this is crazy. And he doesn't know who he is that he even... His whole look is Jimmy Neutron. He's just adapting all of these things. Everything that is unnatural, that is not him. And it's really... It's sad, because that's gonna be where he fails, honestly, I think. I'm honestly still enamored by this piano teacher thing. How has more not come out of this? This is the first time I'm hearing of it. I'm looking online, no one's talked about it. This is so weird. This guy became a conservative because of his elementary school through high school piano teacher. There's another line here as he worked his way from the easy Bach preludes to Mozart's Rondo alla turca. I'm sorry if I messed up the pronunciation of any of that. The teacher who became something of a godmother railed against Hillary Clinton and extolled the virtues of free speech, patriotism, and Ronald Reagan. What was going on in this piano class? What is this? What's happening there? We don't know, but there was something there. It's a wealthy piano teacher is what that is. There was something there. Inductionation. There was something. Sounds like he was groomed. Yeah, by indoctrination. I mean, based on their usage of the term. How is this coming up though? How does this come up? I've taken lessons, music lessons, clarinet in the elementary school. Guitar. I'm getting some jealousy. Come on. It's such an original story. I've had no relationship like this with anybody. Well, who, where do you find these people? Who's doing this? You and I. This is like a whole different world. This is the wealth. I have a guitar lessons.  I'm sure it didn't cost as much as Vivek's teacher cost. We're talking like, you know, these are wealthy. These wealthy parents, they go to someone who's like, very well off to give these lessons. But how is any of this coming up in the conversation with an elementary school student? Like, it is weird. It is weird. It is weird. It is a very weird story. Yeah, it's worth mentioning in the context of like, you know, them claiming other people are groomers and like, here's a, here they are, or the indoctrination of like children. Here it is clearly done to Vivek. You see, maybe. Listen, hypocrites. This is what they do. This is what they are. That's the thing. They're always hypocrites. So it's not even like a story anymore. We're still being hypocritical going on. Like obviously. Yeah. Yeah. I have to share this. So I saw Bender share this video and this is just- Wait, don't play what I got because I want to continue the whole clip because it's really good. We're not going to watch the whole like 12 minute clip. You're talking about the, the, the Brett Cooper thing? Yeah, yeah. Okay, hold on. Oh, I saw that. Wait, there's a, I don't want to see a longer one. I haven't seen this yet. No, you want to see a longer one. Because the whole- I have 38 seconds. I want to see a longer one. Okay. Like I would say it's about four minutes long. The whole thing's incredible. Is it worth watching four minutes of this? Oh, it is. Yes. Hold on. Okay, okay. If you say so. If you say so. This is so good. I, I first became aware of this on the majority of port earlier today. And I did not see this coming myself.  I could not believe what I had just been witnessed to. Here is the longer version. We're going to play about four minutes of it. I think you could skip maybe, we could get a little bit less. We could do a, hold on. Yeah. Skip to what part? Is this whole thing's 12 minutes? Okay, you could skip to, you could skip to one minute, 20 seconds. When we only get about two and a half minutes of it. Skip to one minute, 20 seconds. All right. So this is Brett Cooper, who is the sort of Gen Z host on The Daily Wire. Wait, you said this is Brett Cooper? Is this not Ben Shapiro? Everyone says that she looks exactly like a Gen Z female Ben Shapiro. She absolutely does look like that. It's very bizarre. It's very bizarre. But her name is Brett Cooper. She was actually an actress on the TV version of the movie Heathers that came out in 2018. And I guess she got no work after that and became a conservative talk show host on The Daily Wire. Also as an actress. Where she's become their Gen Z person. If you look, that is definitely not a bedroom. It's a set, but they made it look like a Twitch streamer's bedroom to connect her with the Gen Z audience. And they give her the headset. She doesn't need that headset. The headset's probably not playing anything. She's on a set with professional equipment. Wow. Yeah. You see the purple light. I didn't know that. I didn't even think about that. She's a cutie. I hope she's not about to stress me out. Oh, she's about to. Oh, she is. She'll stress you out. Guaranteed. All right. So let's play this clip. She's talking about mask mandates, which in August of 2023 is obviously still a very relevant discussion. I say that with full sarcasm. Why are all the right wingers, why are all the right wingers acting like this is a thing again? Is that actually happening in the U.S.? I see everyone from the world. There was a, there was a, hold on, I want to bring up the name of the school so I get it all right. Okay. So there was a historically black, private college in Atlanta called Morris Brown College that reinstated a face mask requirement. As the school season began, the school literally has just a few hundred students throughout all the four years of the college that's the entire school body is just a couple hundred students. And this is why they've gone off the rails on this. They, you know, then of course she'll get to some more of it. Let's listen to her. She'll break it down for us and then get ready for the greatest segue you'll ever see in your life. We'll be coming back by the end of this year. Starting in a few weeks, actually, we all heard this first from Alex Jones and he said that he had a TSA whistleblower who told him that TSA was planning on re-implementing a mask mandate for airport employees and for travelers by the fall and it heard that full lockdowns will be coming back by December. Now a lot of people blew this off and you know said, oh, it's Alex Jones at some conspiracy theory. You know, take it with a grain of salt. This is not. By the way, sorry. Notice the echo in the room. Like you could, that's how you know this is like some giant set because you could, you could tell them like she's not at some like cozy bedroom like there's like an echo on the mic. Right. When they switched to another camera angle, you can see they set up like bedroom curtains. It's like, it's like the automatic to Kelly who's switched. I haven't seen this. Don't spoil it. Camera one. Camera two. Yeah. Great for Pete's sake. We're not doing this again. But guys, everything we have seen since that Alex Jones, they have a director is just supporting his claim. Now this is the most recent tweet I saw this is from a college in Atlanta who has reinstated masks for both of what I was telling you about saying that it is a precautionary measure. Here's the tweet. The mask mandate is a precautionary move for the next 14 days. We've been there before two weeks, guys. Remember that 14 days. The headline reads Atlanta college reinstates mask mandates for students, employees on campus. Now here's another article about that same school. Atlanta college brings back COVID mask mandates as government doctors in Seattle call for face coverings to be compulsory for healthcare workers amid rise of a new COVID variant Oh no. Healthcare workers need to wear face masks. So scary. This is so terrible and frightening. Now at the same time, Hollywood is coming back swinging and specific production companies are also taking these measures for our health and for our own good. Of course, Lionsgate is the big one that's doing that. Hollywood bringing back mask mandates, Lionsgate Studios, which makes saw and Hunger Games franchises asks office staff to don face coverings and test again as COVID hospital rates rise for the fifth week. No. Here we go again. Here we go again. You guys know what this means? 14 days. Only 14. We're just precautionary. Again. We have been there before. We know what that means. Two weeks to sell the spread. We've done that. We don't want to do it again. And of course, they're going to tell us that it's good for us. It's not good for you. What is actually good for you is a good rancher steak. That is what you should be eating. That is what you should be cooking. And I'm not just talking about your mouth. And I'm not just talking about your mouth. Financially, good ranchers is the healthy option. All the time or the time that I get out, the one thing that I am not sweating is my meat price. And she got to float you up for an hour. Pause it. Pause it. Pause it. Pause it. Pause it. Pause it. Pause it. Pause it. Well, first of all, I just want to say that that lion's gate mask mandate is already done. They've already, they, they, they, there was a COVID scare on there. They did the mask mandate COVID eradicated as far as they know they're so mandate over. There's no mask mandate anymore. It's already done. So this is already old news. I I what else can you say masterful when it comes to the ad delivery Sad when it comes to people depend on these networks like the daily wire for their news Christ, did she go for good ranchers? No, did she go? Rewind it rewind it rewind it back to that transition. It's perfect. And also play on that play through the whole ad because it's also masterful how she Gets out of the ad reading We don't want to do it again And of course they're gonna tell us that it's good for us. It's not good for you What is actually good for you is a good rancher steak. That is what you should be eating That is what you should be focusing on. I'm not just talking about your health Financially good ranchers is the healthy option now this summer as hot as I'll get out But one thing that I am not sweating is my meat price. Thanks to good ranchers My price is locked in for the next two years. You might be thinking a price law guarantee on meat Yes, it is amazing. It is healthy and you need it Good ranchers is the only meat company locking in your price with their industry first price law guarantee since 2021 They have been helping people combat the inflation of the meat aisle as well as the mystery of it too Because it turns out that over 85 percent of grass-fed beef is imported in from overseas So not only a store about meat expensive But it is often low foreign quality as well when you subscribe to good ranchers You get a guaranteed price and they just a long ad but wait for it You can save on your beef chicken and pork by locking in your price today Every single steakhouse quality cut is individually wrapped in flash frozen to make meal time easy Visit good ranchers.com and use my code cooper for $30 off any box again That's promo code cooper at good ranchers.com and I've said this before but not only are you getting an incredible product But you are also supporting an amazing team an amazing company who stands up to all of this crap We're talking about today because everybody Just this editing is this crazy. They're just doing Hard cuts everywhere. Yeah, it's in like the zoom in and like this Yeah, the close-up and then you don't have a streamer set up and then have a professionally edited edited video with multiple camera angles and like zooms and It ruins the entire purpose of the set like Like if you're gonna do something like this actually make them a streamer like try to do it for real Make it believable come through like the if the if we're going through the commercial She spent I I know more about the damn food place and the steaks More important because she knew it was bs that she was talking about them damn mask now It's like it's well. It is more important because that's how they're making the money They they they bring them in with the you know the mask mandate and spend two minutes on steaks And by the way a lot of so arm around covers a lot of these these Weirdos and and he covers clips that people don't often see because he watches like their full shows I don't know how he can stand it But like they all do like Charlie Kirk does this regularly as well He'll have like a he'll have a weird transition to an ad like rent But Ben Shapiro all the time during his interviews, especially like he'll interview somebody and then he'll turn to the camera I started doing an act. It's just so it's so bizarre I've never seen one like that before that was my god I've seen them all do the stages ones. Yes. Yeah, because then like in the new studio, you know, you got the cameras You you go camera one camera two whatever Like that's just how the new studio is but you know when you're trying to create that set and especially for a generation zeer to be comfortable She's giving me little grown lady Like let's just not give it. It's and then the commercial thing It's like she's acting and then it's we're not I'm not really getting the the anger Or whatever in about the mask.  That's the same thing, but It's a subscription service too. Is a zoomer a generation? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah When did that when did I miss that? I don't know Gen Z I think that's a wrap up What do you call them the kids zoomers?  You can't you can't be you can't be both.  Yeah I'm curious though. Matt you said that your mom orders has she considered going to good ranchers.com using kube on code kube No, I was the mom is they don't contact good ranchers and have them cancel this uh conservative advertisement But she did such a good job.

She was not angry enough for me Um, you know, you know conservatives are really up They get so upset when it comes to like issues like mask. We saw how they we saw what they did now She was so focused on the stake. I feel like that that's what I focused on Stake and when I I looked it up. It's a lot of people that look just like them people It might be one of those conservative companies because they have a couple of companies that sponsored the daily wire glenn beck And it's always the same like couple of companies Um, so I'm wondering if this is one of those conservative companies Like there's another one.  They they watch these things religiously. So They're the two million people You know that are that are supporting her for sure. Yeah I'm trying to find others, but I can't find ad reads. She's adorable though.   I think a lot of these people never know There's no no, she doesn't give me she doesn't she gives me like Indoctrinated she gives me like she doesn't have a mind of her own. This is just a check like this is you know, I don't Rebecca, you got to watch your other stuff.  This is right before a transition. So let's see what she does Bugs and for the last couple of weeks he has been topping the charts and turning down eight million dollar record deals Literally here is his youtube page a couple of weeks ago He had barely any subscribers and now he has half a million Also, I just love that his youtube banner is still just a photo of one of his dogs Like this is a man after my own heart if you are watching sir, you need to try rough greens here three german shepherds Now like him there is very little that I love more than my dogs Which is why I love being partners with rough greens natural apathic dr. Dennis black the founder of rough greens is focused on So this one this one she transitioned from the man with the picture of the dog and she went into this It's still not as good as the it was still rough. It was still rough. Listen, this girl like no I feel she's trained like she finds ways to make the transition and I think she probably makes it work most of the time It's still ridiculous, but like she'll find. Oh, he's with a dog. Okay. We'll do this one Like it's it's you know, she knows how to uh play the game with the steak. Okay. Well, listen I have dogs.  I'm not gonna order it You see this is crazy.  We're focused on these damn commercials.  What she's giving the businesses She's good for these businesses that nobody would probably know about like this is that work that is working But the other stuff I don't care. I don't care. She's giving it up. It's not It's it's it's not giving anything for me. Like it's like she doesn't even know what she's talking about She doesn't even care about the math. She doesn't care about anything else She doesn't care about the political parts of this. She likes the commercial parts She gives it her all when it comes time to sell these businesses Okay, sorry one more because this one's about jennifer aniston and I want to see what the transition is here It's like what are you gonna do? This is the last one last one her somebody is pretty much canceled every day here facts or doxed Sometimes both because it is the wild wild west on social media. It is all very uncertain. I mean in a world full of uncertainties One shocking headline Okay, we don't like that we don't we want to see new commercials every time get her out of here Yeah, get her out of here Done. Yeah, she could have done a lot better for that transition too Yeah, that one is that that was rough. Look not us judging her. I give her I give her a five out of ten It just it was not It wasn't good. I I feel like we can we can do better She's she's an expert at the transitions, but we can do better right like like god America is so frustrated. We have to work so So many hours watching these conservatives makes me want to unalive myself in minecraft But if you also feel the same way you can get a better help.com for free psychiatric evaluation, you know something like that Like It's been such a hot hot summer. They don't want to talk about climate control But if you want a hot drink so that you can cool down And if you don't want to sound like Mike Figueredo talking about uh, Mitch McConnell's health go to better Please get some help please You know that one of one of the three signs of somebody who's a psychopath is exhibited by mike on this show Here you go And better help that harm can help you and yours not look like or act like sound like my fee because you got to make it work Nailed it nailed it Listen this drama between tommy loren and uh charlie kirk. It's great So we're gonna we're gonna spill the tea, but first did you know that green tea dot com? These are like these are if you like how as their transitions are If you like how if you like how mike described mcconnell's death Did you know that silence of the labs now available on netflix and netflix dot com subscribe today?  I am uh six foot six two hundred and fifteen pounds Oh, yeah, we're definitely in the same weight class, right? Now i'm around i'm around i'm around five four 125 pounds 130 pounds, maybe Okay, i am five seven uh 140 pounds Matt, well you're wrestling you're 130 i haven't been 130 since like high school We should me i mean it took me to mike are our same weight in height Are we really yes, oh my god. We're more closer to uh to the same class. Wow.  I couldn't fight anybody I talk a lot of shit about what wanting to see mitch mcconnell croak But really i'm a softy at horror honestly. I couldn't fight anyone If you were in the room and that and that and your fairy tale happened you would be stunned I think here's what No Here's what would happen if i were in that room And I saw mitch mcconnell collapse I would instinctively run over and try to assist him try to take us and then i'm like wait This is mitch mcconnell and i just like I walk away drop him so the instinct is there to help it's just that i'd have to remind myself No, this is a demon uh quite literally like i think he's actually possessed by the devil Um specifically lucifer and you you have to specifically lucifer like the demon lucifer You know the king So yeah, I gotta say before we uh wind down here since it's almost time If you're watching those mcconnell clips like mike migrano and you're a ba da ba ba loving it You check out mcdonnell's New big mac with the grand big mac has returned in canada to mcdonald's It is grand actually Before we wind down though, I have we have to show one of the I would say the Greatest uh twitter correction that i've ever seen in my entire life I know exactly what you're referring to already So let's go through that shall we So uh prank stallion wrote here um the student acts like he is too strong will to wear a mask Meanwhile society's opinion of male pattern baldness has strong armed him into wearing his beanie 24 24 hours a day So that's of course in response to uh tim pool and uh this reply here from sam hiddly says tim isn't even That just sam hiddly his at is at pp laugh You stick to the facts david come on tim is tim isn't even bald nice lie though, and then he was corrected tim is bald That's the community notes This is a picture. I haven't clicked the picture. I believe it's a picture It's probably the one with him with the shoe on it. Oh, it's not showing it. Okay here. Oh that one Yep, he's bald. He's all baby Hey speaking of this if you're also bald, do you know that two out of three men experience male pattern baldness by the age of 35?  Let's keeps dot com. I don't it stops you from male pattern. Well, let me tell you hang on a second No, look cut the check for every Yeah, yeah, now micah the cut the check and it sounds If you want that on leftist mafia cut the check Agreed agreed You know what's funny is that I actually got an email from a company that does sponsorships with There's like a razor company. I think it's man scapes and also magic spoon But I unironically eat magic spoon like I buy it every once in a while But it's actually actually amazing, but I still I wouldn't want to do a sponsor just because I feel like that's kind of like That's some sell-out weird I think a sponsorship is fine if you don't do it if you don't do it like they do like if you don't Make it part of your segment or your like or your politics Yeah, like I think it's fine. Just be like this video was sponsored by insert here And then you go into the segment majority report does for like a whole segment right after the first news one They even do that. They even do that. What is it? The what is the bidet called the what push at the hello? The bidet hello tissue. Hello tissue. What is it called a day one and saba day? What did I call did I call it a bidet? Wow, I don't even know how to pronounce anything I'm not french.  So I mean when people look at you. They like, okay.  It's cereal for adults. It's like a protein cereal. Uh, that's low sugar I'm gonna look it up.  That's a little bit more affordable But not as good as magic spoon A lot of people are making fun of bender in the chat for his pronunciation because There's by debt The big day thing isn't even that funny. The funny thing is one person pointed this out. The product is called The David you I feel like you were gonna make an admission when we were talking about the days Where are you gonna say? Yeah, but you all talked over me. So you're never gonna know. I need to know David I uh I bought one of those bidets using the majority of port code and it's fantastic. Oh, yeah I've heard I highly recommend getting a bidet. It's like once you use it. Yeah, you do not stop using like It's actually hard for me to go to the washroom and anywhere else. That's not my home now because yeah I need the bidet Yeah, I agree. I can vouch for the bidet Expensive bidets just on it. I hear people. Oh no, these are cheap. It's like a hundred bucks for like It just connects to your toilet. Yeah. Oh, you just connected to your toilet There are ones that are like like they're you can buy toilets that like built in those are expensive But yeah, this is just like a plastic thing you connect Wait, yeah, there it is called hello tushy the other person was wrong. I thought it was hello tushy Yeah, yeah, which is really funny tushy. Yeah, I don't know t u s s y Maybe maybe it's like maybe it's like like uh, when it hits you go like Rebecca that'd be tushy So the the the website's hello tushy, but the actual product I believe is called tushy like excuse me Yeah, so the product is is tushy, but the website is hello tushy Okay, wait, what is the u s s y that the t is? It's the spelling for me. It's it's it's it's um, it's A bodice This is so off the rail You guys are children see just like on like you're not having to tell you guys are kids Oh my god That guy's really enjoying it It is a good name for a product It's why I'm not in marketing. It's why I'm not in marketing This is why I'm not in marketing He had a little stool Can I explain I'm more laughing it for that much you two are laughing it's because it's because it When your feet are when your feet are raised on the toilet. It's supposedly this is supposed to like align your supposedly hello tushy consumer david No, but this isn't just a hello the the bet that this little person is just a hello tushy thing It's actually like this is like a thing that's been going on before Yes, yeah, so this is supposed to like like somehow I don't know looks like a molar It's supposed to That's like a molar. Why is it shiny? Is this a Canadian thing because you both know about this I know about it because of the majority report. That's what I care. I care about my health. That's how I know So you ordered the the stool ends. I don't have their stool. I have a different stool, but yes, I have one Oh, you have a I don't really use that often to be honest with you, but I still how tall is your toilet though No, no, your your legs are supposed to be raised I thought you needed help getting up on the toilet. I thought like David, you're tall, man You might need it. I'm fine though I'm six feet.   So that's why you need this stool because the toilet's below I don't know how it is in Canada, but them toilets be on the ground People are saying it's called a squatty potty Yeah, it's it's it helps you squat basically See these names are built like listen I would not have thought of the name pushy probably like if I had to market a product like Hey, you want to clean butthole get the butthole cleaner right here today No, no, I got it. I got it. If you have a dirty bussy get hello to she I keep on code majority report And it is it is you guys do sponsored on the show They have to use a majority report. They do They've got to use bussy in their ad read. They have to that is crazy That is absolutely out of control because I thought it was I already thought the spelling was out of control But that's not even Olay's in the chat. What if I walked in on? Yeah No, the best you skewp on code rational national You know what they they actually emailed me a couple years ago and I'm like If I had like a long-form podcast, I might but how do you fit in that? How do you fit an ad into like a 10 minute video? Yeah, without being weird? You do like a 60 second for the for them and then you continue on with your stuff You put it right in the middle of the with the five minute It would have to be it would have to be the very beginning of the of the video We're at the very end because I'm not gonna read it. I'm not gonna do like a hello to she the video about like You could do what the zoomer did and just right there within the five minute mark halfway through Just turn the camera to set you up one right here and go ahead and talk about the tissue And then turn it would be I feel like I would lose half my audience if I just did she like that It's just it's such a turn off. They would no it would they would find it comical They would absolutely if I was funny about it. Maybe I don't know you could I feel me able to work in that one a lot easier Like if this story makes you feel as shitty as it makes me feel you don't have to feel shitty Fresh as fresh as ever, you know But then that that that like makes the whole subject of the video seem like less important So like it definitely could not use it in like a serious a serious thing, right? Like it would have to be like a video where I'm like laughing about something You would put it at the front of the video. I don't see how you would insert it in Like I think I think the most proper way to do is just like, you know This video is sponsored by and then you get to the video after you do the ad read You put it in a video less serious like what about David David? Sorry, I was on mute. Oh, yeah, like but you put it out in the first minute of the video People turn the video off immediately. Like I can't I wouldn't do that either. Like there's no I don't want you. I don't know. Yeah, and then I'll get to the end Like there's no good That's why they do these ad reads like two minutes in because they got you and then they Get to the ad read like I guess what I would do the most lucrative way to do it It's just no no segue Just like a complete like transition to the ad like a tv commercial like fade the black quick cut something Yeah, that's something It could be at the end when you go ahead and tell people about the patreon and stuff like that right before that Most people don't get to the end of the video though.  I forgot to stream again. They were asking am I streaming and I'm oh, yeah I mean good. Listen, I come straight from work. Like I said, I forget and that I was I was ready to do it And look look at me just saying getting the right like I fell asleep last week But uh, we gonna get it right Matt was like girl. Come on.  I'm gonna bet She came on I mean she came on Usually I don't you know, I'd be like I'm ready to go but I felt so bad I said I'm gonna take a 30 minute nap and honey I was I was gone.  Yeah Yeah, y'all was still on here talking it up. I'm like Dean. They got energy They got energy We have to be gone. We have to be gone with me after the show.  I'm exhausted.

I'm I'm I'm gone No, it does it does something to me because it's thursday and I work I work So it's like trying to like squeeze in that nap That was dangerous I should have never did that then because the way that it sent me Just to nap sleep heaven.

So I said Get in here now You can still jump on lol. We're still doing super chats if you want to say hi Oh, see I would feel pressured if I saw yeah, that's pressure I'm like matt matt ignores everything that I say in the chat, but not that and he told me to come on So yeah That's right in that context like the rare time you send a chat. It's like come on the show. It's like oh jeez I mean I could see my third message might have been misconstrued because I said if you don't want to go the way of the triangle You should come on the stream now It was funny I was tired I was like damn I hadn't been on here to you already know people In the comments have everything to say.

I think Whenever there Whenever there isn't a guest on I feel like we're a little a little bit looser because we don't have to like, you know Be all all professional Not pretend as professional we can be unprofessional pretend that we're serious. I mean for that. We're serious actors. Oh, yeah. Yeah, right Yes And then you guys are not so serious all the time because we can be serious Like you see you got 17 different personalities out of me today. That's me. There was some serious in today's episode That's right. No, that's right. Yeah, we were all over the place. This was wild when I go there and do all of the The chapters and split it up it's gonna be Yeah this one is for me from theater business american wasp Does the connec know what a wasp is wasp the canuck White anglo-saxon Person I don't know what it means if i'm being honest that i'm not canadian White anglo-saxon person. Yeah They think you're canadian too. I wouldn't see. I would have never got that them two were canadian. It's it's white anglo-saxon Nice david. We did it. Oh, okay Protestant though Oh, okay, okay Seemed me as canadian. I try to remember to say a boat, but I forget I want people to think i'm not american, but Okay, I uh, I accidentally, uh, mixed The wasp with the the one for uh, you know the japs one Uh, jewish american princess You ever heard of that one? No, who makes these things up? Yeah Yeah, next boomers boomers sounds very boomer type thing that they would have come up with Law knowns. What does the GOP look like after mcconnell retires think it'll happen before or after the election? I mean, I think it looks exactly the same Like now They'll just get a new now I mean, you can maybe argue that whoever replaces him maybe won't be as Successful as mcconnell was at doing what he wanted to do. Um, so it depends who replaces him really Uh, but the party is going to be what the party is like not much I guess it could possibly go further right further towards mega because mcconnell is sort of He's not you know, I wouldn't say he's anti-trump, but he's he politically is a little more careful with some of that stuff Uh, but I don't know McConnell plays the game. He's the ultimate game game player He got a lot done Who's this for? Then it's for mike. I'll read it dynamic editor. I hope you all talk about the nlrb chain as to how unions are recognized Also, benjamin is spelled wrong in your description mike Mike dynamic editor with five dollars. Uh, I hope you all talk about the nlrb changes to how unions are recognized Also, benjamin is spelled wrong in your description mike. Is it okay? I will remember to uh fix that But yeah for those of you who did not know we could talk about it really quickly the nlrb made some changes I'm trying to remember off the top of my head when it comes to unionization to where now I'm going off memory when a majority of workers submit card check and The company is the what like the onus is on the come let me simplify The onus is on the company a company to file with the nlrb. Otherwise it does become a union It's a little bit more complicated, but there is Uh a thread I believe from more perfect union that breaks it down and it's a really significant thing I didn't get a chance to talk about it this week, but it's very important and I believe it's also retroactive apparently So, oh, I didn't know that this yeah, that's why I heard is like if this is for real Like it's really going to have an impact because we're going back I'm not sure I'm not sure how far it goes back retroactively But it sounds like it'll you know with cases that are currently going on. I guess it'll have a it'll apply to them Wow, no, this is actually this is awesome Um, it's it's really important. I try to like If I do a video on something I try to like loop Other stories in and I didn't really talk about anything Where it was appropriate to bring that in but it's it's really it's it's actually some really good news If a majority of workers submit card check the company has to file for an election If then they fail the union is automatically created Yeah, yeah, so now instead of the worker is basically having to do all of the work It's on the company. So if a company doesn't do their due diligence That's the union. So it just makes it so much easier to become a union. It's it's huge Unions are important Yes, kowalski. This is for It's for me. Uh, kowalski the super chat. I'm missing husker football for this a sacrifice Well, I hope you hope you enjoyed the episode For me still alive says, uh, thank you for the 499 I've been been watching up up yours.
