00:04Start the clock.
00:41I appreciate it.
00:44Thank you very much.
00:50Thank you, people.
00:51I appreciate that.
00:53Great to have you here.
00:55I know.
00:58All right.
01:00I know why you're happy.
01:02Trump says there is a way out of Iran.
01:05Unfortunately, it's through the airport.
01:07That is just...
01:10Oh, have you...
01:14Anybody here have to come through the airport?
01:16Ooh, it's easier to get through the Strait of Hormuz than the airport these days.
01:21And, you know, this impasse that has been going on since January 31st is when this bullshit started.
01:26You know, the funding of the TSA.
01:28Everything in this country is a hostage situation.
01:31Every side's like, the dog gets it.
01:35Unless you do what we say on this or the no...
01:38TSA, they haven't been doing this.
01:40So the latest plan A that Trump had this week was to send ICE to the airport.
01:48Okay.
01:49Forgetting that ICE does not perform any sort of task that would be alleviating the actual problem there.
01:56So it's just more people standing around.
01:59Plan B was to send to every airport 100 raccoons.
02:02That was...
02:10But finally, today, Trump signed an executive order.
02:13Don't know why he couldn't have done that five weeks ago.
02:16That will pay the TSA agents who haven't been paid since Valentine's Day.
02:28It's not good when people who have no money work in a place where water is $6 a bottle.
02:35Okay.
02:38So...
02:40But finally, some good news for you, ladies and gentlemen.
02:43Donald Trump is getting the America First award.
02:48I'm not...
02:49Nope.
02:50Maybe you never heard of it because they just made it up.
02:53But it is a real thing and he's getting it.
03:00Mike Johnson says we'll be given annually to Donald Trump.
03:11But speaking of awards, I'm finally getting one.
03:20I appreciate it.
03:21Yeah, there was a lot of...
03:23Everyone's asking me to explain what was going on
03:25because there's a lot of back and forth about this.
03:27It's an award given at the Kennedy Center,
03:29but of course that is now the Trump Kennedy Center.
03:34So I was going to get it,
03:35and then Friday, Trump's...
03:38Well, both his spokespeople come out and said,
03:40fake news, Bill Maher's never getting it.
03:44We have reached a compromise, okay?
03:46And the compromise is I am going to get it,
03:50and then I'm going to give it to him.
03:55Everybody's happy.
04:01I just want things to work out.
04:02And also, I want to say thank you.
04:04Okay?
04:05I'm not looking for a fight,
04:06and I'm not mad that he did this.
04:07You know what?
04:08Me and the president,
04:08we have a complicated relationship.
04:12Goes back to the orangutan lawsuit.
04:14You know, this has been going on a long time,
04:16so him trying to block me from getting it,
04:18I respect the move.
04:20I respect the move.
04:22Keep the game going, baby, okay?
04:24I'm all about engagement.
04:27Disengagement gets you nothing.
04:29You've got to engage.
04:31So even though I see that we're back to him
04:33calling me a jerk,
04:34and I'm a lightweight ratings loser,
04:38get it off your chest, big man.
04:40Okay?
04:41I'm totally fine with it.
04:42I was proud of these last insults you gave me.
04:45I added them to the list of insults
04:48that I brought to the White House
04:50that you signed graciously when I was there.
04:53Yeah.
04:55So I would just like to say,
04:58as a low ratings lightweight,
05:02and a rather dumb guy,
05:03and a pathetic bloated sleazebag,
05:06a dummy, a terrible student,
05:08a nervous failing comedian,
05:10and someone who was sick, insane,
05:11very sad, totally shot,
05:13and a crazy maniac,
05:16I am honored to accept the Mark 20.
05:19Thank you very much.
05:21And I will...
05:27I will be there, Don,
05:29and I hope you will be too.
05:30I mean, the place is named after you now.
05:32You really should show up.
05:33You could show up.
05:34You could thank me in person
05:36for being one of the few people
05:37on the lunatic left
05:38who's glad you hit Iran
05:40and is hoping we win that one, okay?
05:44So...
05:46Oh, the war?
05:48The war...
05:49You know, all wars are foggy,
05:50but this one's very foggy.
05:53Trump says...
05:54Boy, this is interesting.
05:55He says they're in talks with the Iranians,
05:58and the Iranians say
05:59they're not talking at all.
06:01It's a real...
06:02He said, she has said.
06:08It's an Islam joke.
06:11Listen to this.
06:12Trump's quote.
06:13He said,
06:13they want to make a deal so badly.
06:16An Iranian negotiator said,
06:20our first and last word
06:21has always been
06:22that someone like us
06:24will never come to terms
06:25with someone like you,
06:27not now, not ever.
06:28That doesn't sound just like a no.
06:30That sounds like a Taylor Swift.
06:32We are never, ever,
06:33ever getting back together now.
06:40But Trump gave
06:42an absolute deadline
06:44today
06:45about the Strait of Hormuz.
06:47He said,
06:47you either open that else
06:49or else,
06:49and Iran picked
06:51or else.
06:55And then he extended
06:56the deadline
06:57to April 6th.
06:58And then he said,
06:59okay, okay,
06:59if you don't do it,
07:01we're going to blow up
07:01your electrical grid
07:02and then they didn't
07:04move on that
07:04and so he extended
07:05that to April 17th.
07:07He's kind of like
07:08that dad in the car
07:09who says,
07:10don't make me turn
07:11this thing around
07:12because...
07:13And then never does,
07:15you know.
07:18And listen to this.
07:20Last week,
07:21we found out
07:22there's going to be
07:22a gold Trump coin now.
07:24He's putting his signature
07:25on the currency,
07:26which the Treasury Secretary
07:28has always had forever
07:29in this country.
07:31And I don't know about this
07:32because whenever Trump
07:33names stuff after himself,
07:35it never really works out.
07:36I mean,
07:37you think about
07:38the Atlantic City Casinos,
07:39Trump University,
07:41Don Jr.
07:42All right,
07:43I kid.
07:44All right,
07:44we've got a great show.
07:45Stephen A. Smith
07:46and Laura Coates
07:47are here.
07:48Well, first up,
07:49she's a former CIA analyst
07:50and pending out official
07:51who now serves
07:52as a Democratic senator
07:53from Michigan.
07:54Senator Alyssa Slotkin
07:56is here.
07:59Hi.
08:00How are you doing?
08:01How are you?
08:01Great to see you again.
08:03Oh, we love
08:04having you on.
08:05Look at that.
08:06A standing ovation.
08:08All right.
08:11Did you get out here
08:13okay with the airline situation?
08:15I did.
08:15We had a 2 a.m. vote
08:17yesterday
08:17and then got on a plane
08:18this morning.
08:19Wow.
08:19Thank you very much.
08:22And the airport was okay?
08:24The airport was good.
08:25Oh, wow.
08:25I saw some of the ICE officers.
08:27They were actually
08:28moving packages,
08:29Amazon packages,
08:30when I saw them,
08:31but it was moving well.
08:33And I think we want,
08:35you know,
08:35we want TSA paid.
08:37So that was the point
08:37of the 2 a.m. vote.
08:38Who knew ICE
08:38was such a Swiss army knife,
08:40right?
08:43What can't they do?
08:44That's my question.
08:45Well, police our streets
08:46the way we want them
08:47to be police.
08:48Well, that's the,
08:48yeah, that,
08:49now that's the whole
08:50sticking point, right?
08:51But,
08:54what I just mentioned there,
08:55it seems like every problem
08:56that we used to be able
08:57to solve like adults
08:59is a hostage situation.
09:00Does it strike you that way
09:01that everything is like,
09:03unless we get everything we want?
09:05Because Trump umped the ante
09:06here at one point to,
09:08okay, I'm not doing this
09:09unless you also throw in
09:10the trans issue.
09:12Yeah.
09:12Trans.
09:13I think,
09:15I think,
09:15like,
09:16I don't think it takes,
09:17you know,
09:18a genius to understand
09:19that we are,
09:20like,
09:20ill as a country.
09:21We're not functioning
09:22the way we feel,
09:23most Americans feel proud of,
09:25our political system.
09:26And it used to be that,
09:28you know,
09:28you would argue
09:29and of course have disagreements,
09:30but you get in a room,
09:32kick everyone out,
09:33just put your head down
09:34and get a deal.
09:35And that has become,
09:36I've been a senator now
09:37for a year and change.
09:39Um,
09:39and that is just not the way
09:40it's functioning.
09:41And I don't,
09:42again,
09:42I'm from Michigan.
09:43We are a practical people.
09:45Um,
09:46and I don't,
09:47I,
09:4780% of the people
09:48that I talk to
09:49cannot stand the way
09:50politicians are representing
09:52themselves right now,
09:53period.
09:53So.
09:56Well,
09:58I,
09:59I see even in the conservative
10:01press this week,
10:03people who,
10:04you know,
10:04we have the California Post
10:05out here now,
10:06so that kind of keeps
10:07the liberals honest.
10:08It's,
10:09and they're usually,
10:10you know,
10:10I got their head
10:11way up Trump's ass.
10:12Even they
10:14are onto this story
10:15about,
10:16uh,
10:17irregular trading
10:18that's going on.
10:20What is your feeling
10:21about that?
10:21I mean,
10:22they're using words
10:23like curious
10:24in the head.
10:24Curious,
10:25because it's like,
10:25a couple of minutes
10:26before Trump
10:27makes some pronouncement,
10:28people will be trading
10:29and making enormous money.
10:31This is on the war
10:32in Iran
10:32and where oil is going.
10:34Yep.
10:34What,
10:34what is your make
10:35of this?
10:36Do you,
10:36do you?
10:37I mean,
10:38I,
10:38I,
10:39um,
10:39I just dropped
10:40a bill yesterday
10:41on prediction markets
10:42and that no one
10:43in the government,
10:44whether you're
10:45a career government
10:45person or a political
10:47appointee,
10:47like the president
10:48and his kids,
10:49anybody,
10:50no one should be able
10:51to place a bet
10:52based on insider
10:53information they have
10:55on,
10:56especially on issues
10:57of war and peace.
10:58And so what we know
10:59from the,
11:00I mean,
11:00it's just a simple,
11:03but just to put it
11:04in perspective,
11:05you know,
11:06you would,
11:06you would have people
11:07before we went
11:07into Venezuela,
11:08you had a bunch of people
11:09get online anonymously
11:10and go onto the prediction
11:12markets and say,
11:13I bet we're gonna have
11:14some military action
11:15in Venezuela tomorrow
11:15and made a ton of money.
11:17Same thing ahead
11:18of the Iran war.
11:19And these are people
11:20we can assume
11:21who have insider information
11:22that we're launching
11:23military operations.
11:24Number one,
11:25that's insider trading.
11:26Number two,
11:27it's also a complete
11:28operational security risk.
11:30If you're the Iranians
11:31and you're sitting there
11:32and you're like,
11:32huh,
11:32I noticed there's
11:33a bunch of bets
11:34coming in for a war tomorrow.
11:36It's like,
11:37oh shit,
11:37I think we're about
11:38to have a war.
11:39So I think that the,
11:42it's just a bad thing
11:44all around.
11:44All around.
11:48So what do you do about it?
11:50In the past,
11:50when Trump has done
11:51stuff like this,
11:52I'm thinking of the first
11:54impeachment over Ukraine
11:57and, you know,
11:58plainly,
11:59he was things
12:00he should not have been doing,
12:01but that didn't really work.
12:03And then they took him
12:04to court a number of times
12:06when he was out of office.
12:08That didn't seem to work.
12:09Robert Mueller died last week
12:11and somebody wrote a column
12:13and the basic idea was,
12:14you know,
12:15you guys,
12:16you put your energy
12:17into these impeachments
12:18and court rulings.
12:21That's never going to work.
12:22You got to win this
12:23at the ballot box.
12:24So for something like this,
12:26do you take this
12:27to the level of impeachment?
12:28Do you take this
12:29to the courts?
12:30Well,
12:31I think,
12:31I think there,
12:32we are going to have
12:34to grapple with
12:35the unbelievable corruption
12:37that is coming out
12:38of this administration.
12:39I mean,
12:39the president,
12:40just his kids alone
12:40have earned a billion dollars
12:43since he became president.
12:44So we're going to have
12:45to grapple with that.
12:46But the bigger question
12:47for us as Americans
12:48is it turns out
12:49a lot of the things
12:50we thought were laws,
12:51we thought were real rules,
12:53were actually just
12:54kind of traditions.
12:55Right?
12:55We had presidents
12:56who were just,
12:57they would feel ashamed
12:58if they got involved
12:59in business dealings
13:00in the middle
13:00of their administration.
13:01and there just wasn't
13:03real law there.
13:04So I think no matter what,
13:05whether you're Democrat
13:06or Republican,
13:07we're going to have
13:08to take a hard look
13:09at how some of those traditions
13:10that were based on good behavior
13:12actually need to become
13:13law with real teeth.
13:14With real teeth.
13:18Well,
13:23good luck getting the Republicans
13:24to sign on to that.
13:25Well,
13:26you know,
13:26it'll be interesting.
13:27Right now,
13:28I mean,
13:28you know,
13:28a lot of my peers
13:30really just like salute
13:31whatever the president
13:32tells them to do.
13:33They've sort of ceded
13:34their power
13:35as a separate branch
13:36of government.
13:37It's amazing.
13:38No,
13:39it's amazing.
13:39Oh,
13:40I agree.
13:40I'm just saying,
13:41it's curious to me,
13:43I mean,
13:43both parties do it
13:44to a degree.
13:45I feel like there was
13:45one viewpoint
13:47that came out
13:47after he started
13:49this war with Iran.
13:50I mean,
13:50there's one guy,
13:51John Fetterman,
13:52who I can think of,
13:53who has dissented
13:53from the Democratic Party line.
13:55Is that really the case
13:57that really there's
13:58only one person
13:59in the whole party
14:00who thinks differently?
14:01You all miraculously
14:02came to the exact
14:03same conclusion
14:04about Iran?
14:06I think it's different
14:06than that because,
14:07you know,
14:07I'm someone,
14:08I'm a former CIA officer.
14:09I did three tours
14:10in Iraq.
14:11And so I have
14:12no love lost
14:13for the Iranian government.
14:15I mean,
14:16the Iranian leadership,
14:18you know,
14:19killed friends of mine
14:20with rockets
14:21and mortars
14:21and IEDs.
14:23But that's different
14:24from just running
14:25headlong into a war
14:26without being able
14:27to articulate your goals
14:28and how you're
14:29going to get out of it.
14:30that's the Democratic
14:30talking point
14:31I hear all the time
14:32and I don't know
14:33if it's true.
14:34I think they were
14:35planning to say that
14:36whether he did it or not
14:38and then he did it
14:39and they just kept saying it
14:40even though they did say
14:42many times,
14:43okay,
14:43we found out
14:44that they're very close
14:45to the bomb.
14:47I mean,
14:47that's what came out
14:48in the negotiations,
14:48that they were bragging
14:50that they were,
14:51like,
14:51weeks away
14:52from having enough
14:53to make 11 bombs.
14:54That to me
14:55is pretty clear.
14:56But look,
14:56I can say very openly
14:58as a national security person
15:00we have for sure
15:01degraded their nuclear capabilities,
15:03for sure degraded
15:04their ballistic missile capabilities,
15:06important things
15:07in terms of
15:08the Iranian government.
15:10But until the Strait of Hormuz
15:12is open,
15:13you literally just can't say
15:15that we've won this war
15:16when another country
15:17has a veto
15:18over what ship
15:19goes in and out.
15:20So I don't think
15:21you...
15:21No, but it's a month old.
15:23It's a month old,
15:25but we're sending in
15:26ground troops
15:27into that theater.
15:28We're not there yet,
15:29but yeah.
15:30Well, they're moving
15:30into the Middle East.
15:31They're not on the ground yet,
15:32yes.
15:33Okay, but he's announced
15:34that they're going.
15:35So I think...
15:36And I'm not saying
15:37he's going to use ground troops,
15:38but I'm just saying,
15:39like, look,
15:40Saddam Hussein
15:41was a horrible guy, right?
15:43Used chemical weapons
15:44on his people,
15:45just murderous
15:46for years and years and years.
15:47So there's no love lost
15:49for Saddam Hussein.
15:50That doesn't mean
15:51that Americans feel great
15:52after we got bogged down
15:54for years and years
15:55and years in the Iraq war.
15:56It's not a lot to ask,
15:57whether you're a Democrat
15:58or Republican,
15:59for a plan
16:00when we're just coming off
16:01of 20 years
16:02of being bogged down
16:03in wars.
16:04But the difference
16:04between Iraq
16:05is there were
16:05absolutely no threat.
16:07We absolutely attacked
16:08a country that had nothing
16:10to do with 9-11.
16:12There.
16:12Just because we had
16:13this idea of planting
16:14a democracy
16:15in the middle of the Middle East.
16:16No, no, I'm sorry.
16:17At the time,
16:18it was that they had WMD.
16:19Remember?
16:19It was like,
16:20they could threaten us.
16:22I mean, it was like...
16:23But it turned out
16:23not to be true.
16:24Fair.
16:24They just wanted to do it.
16:26But the excuse, right?
16:27The reason.
16:27Right.
16:27But Iran has been
16:29attacking the West
16:30for a long time.
16:30Including the ally
16:32that is our most important
16:33ally in the world,
16:34and that is Israel.
16:36It's not NATO...
16:38Again, you're not going
16:39to get me to put love
16:41on the Iranian government,
16:43right?
16:43I've seen that all
16:44up and close myself.
16:45But I don't...
16:47Again, I just feel like,
16:48especially as someone
16:49who served three tours
16:50over in Iraq,
16:51it's just not hard.
16:53And it is totally fair
16:55to ask for a plan
16:57and to know that
16:58we are better in America
17:00when we do shock and awe
17:02hardcore quickly,
17:04rather than get us
17:05bogged down long term.
17:07We just...
17:07As a nation,
17:08nation building
17:09is not our strength abroad.
17:11And he would lose me
17:13in two seconds on this
17:14if he started doing that.
17:15Yeah.
17:15I don't think he will.
17:16I think he's a...
17:18He's...
17:18Look, he's the kind of guy
17:20who will definitely
17:22abandon you.
17:25And that might be
17:26a good thing in this one.
17:27I mean, I don't want
17:27to abandon the Iraqi people
17:29and the Iranian people.
17:30And I wanted to ask you,
17:31as a CIA analyst,
17:33are you surprised
17:34that the uprising
17:36hasn't happened yet?
17:37And did you think it would?
17:39Do you think it might?
17:40I mean, look,
17:41my entire life,
17:43the Iranian people
17:44have been under the thumb
17:46of an ayatollah
17:47and not...
17:47They've had periodic moments
17:49where they've really
17:49done brave things,
17:50but they haven't really
17:52pushed it all the way through.
17:53The Iranian government
17:55is...
17:55has a tight grip
17:56on that place.
17:57And now we've replaced
17:58one ayatollah
17:59with another ayatollah.
18:01So I just think
18:01the Iranian people
18:02are just kind of waiting
18:03to see what happens.
18:04I don't think
18:05any Middle East specialist
18:07would tell you
18:07that if we went in,
18:08they would automatically
18:09just rise up
18:10and overthrow
18:11their own government.
18:12Okay.
18:13Well, Israel is a way
18:14of surprising you
18:16with stuff they're doing
18:17behind the scenes.
18:18We'll see
18:19if any pages blow up
18:21and people expand.
18:22In the meantime, though,
18:22I mean,
18:23I have to say,
18:24one of the last things
18:25I saw when I left Michigan
18:26a week ago
18:27was a 90-minute line
18:28outside of Costco
18:29for gas, right?
18:31I mean,
18:31the American people
18:32are feeling
18:33the impacts of this war
18:35many, many miles away.
18:36And that's a very real,
18:38real thing for people.
18:39the Democrats could have
18:40a whole good slogan
18:41about, hey,
18:41you're getting rich
18:42from the war
18:43and we're paying more
18:45at the pump.
18:45Yeah, I mean...
18:46That would work,
18:47wouldn't it?
18:47Well, it...
18:48That's how I know
18:49you won't do it.
18:51Because it's simple
18:52and easy
18:53and concrete.
18:54You're not going
18:55to get me
18:55to defend
18:57Democratic messaging.
18:58That's not going
18:59to be ever something
19:00that I'm going
19:00to defend.
19:02That's part of the problem
19:03and why we lost
19:04the last election
19:04and we can have
19:05a whole autopsy
19:06about that.
19:07I think, for me,
19:08what is important
19:09going forward,
19:10whether you're a Democrat
19:11or a Republican,
19:12is, like,
19:13the American people,
19:14they're telling us something.
19:15They want something
19:16different out of
19:16their government.
19:17They want, like...
19:18They want some alpha energy
19:20from their leaders.
19:22And they certainly,
19:23whether you agree
19:24with them or not,
19:24are getting that
19:25from some of the Republicans.
19:26And my plea
19:28to my own party
19:28is, like,
19:29can we have
19:29a little bit more
19:30alpha energy,
19:32punch and believe
19:33in what we believe in
19:34and show people
19:35that we give a shit
19:36and be simple
19:37about addressing
19:38the needs
19:39that they care
19:39about the most.
19:40And that has been
19:41a struggle
19:41and I'm here
19:43to be a part
19:44of that change.
19:47You could lunge
19:48a president for me
19:49on that one.
19:49Thank you very much.
19:51I appreciate you
19:52making the trip.
19:53I know it wasn't easy.
19:54Well, this is Blackton,
19:55ladies and gentlemen.
19:56All right,
19:56let's meet our panel.
20:03Hey.
20:05All right.
20:07She had me
20:08with that last speech.
20:09All right.
20:10He is the host
20:10of Straight Shooter
20:11with Stephen A.
20:12And the Stephen A.
20:13Smith Show
20:14on Sirius XM
20:15and YouTube.
20:15Stephen A.
20:16Smith is over here.
20:20And she is CNN's
20:22chief legal analyst
20:23and author of
20:24Laura Coates Live
20:24airing weeknights
20:25on CNN.
20:26Laura Coates,
20:27back with us.
20:30OK, I hope it wasn't
20:34a nightmare for you
20:35two to get here.
20:36Was it?
20:36Airports and so forth.
20:37Were you OK?
20:38I'm good.
20:39OK.
20:39All right.
20:40Because it seems
20:41to be such a primer
20:42in the dysfunction
20:43of the way this country
20:45works, this whole mess.
20:46I mean, you could start
20:47with Biden and the Democrats
20:49for reasons unknown
20:51or Republicans have
20:53their theories,
20:53had to completely
20:54open border policy.
20:56So Trump gets elected
20:57on that and then
20:58goes way too far
20:59the other way
21:00and has ICE act
21:01like, you know,
21:02paramilitary groups
21:03in Chile in 1974.
21:07And so then
21:08when the funding
21:09comes up for the
21:10Department of Homeland
21:11Security, which TSA
21:12is a part, the Democrats
21:14say, we're not going
21:15to do it.
21:16We're not going to
21:16give any more money
21:17as long as ICE
21:18is wearing masks,
21:20doesn't need a warrant
21:21to break into your home,
21:22no body cameras.
21:23That was the big
21:24sticking point.
21:25And because TSA
21:27is in this department,
21:29they're the one,
21:30and they just want
21:31to hang out
21:31at the airport
21:32and do what they do,
21:34which is not stop
21:35anything from
21:35getting through anyway.
21:4080 to 90 percent
21:42of the stuff
21:43that's supposed
21:44to get stopped
21:45doesn't get through
21:45anyway.
21:46My stuff always
21:47gets stopped.
21:48So does mine.
21:49Hell, I get stopped.
21:51You know?
21:52It's ridiculous
21:53sometimes how many times.
21:54Oh, your flag,
21:55you got to do extra,
21:56you know,
21:56we got to scan you
21:57a few extra times.
21:58It's annoying,
21:59but, you know,
22:00I'll take it to be safe
22:0130,000 feet in the air.
22:02Yes.
22:03Well, then my deodorant,
22:04though, like,
22:05my deodorant's not a problem,
22:07my perfume.
22:07But I've been a federal
22:09employee not getting paid
22:10during a shutdown.
22:12The idea that you're
22:13supposed to do your job
22:15well and not know
22:16where your child care,
22:18day care, mortgage,
22:19rent, gas, food
22:20is coming from,
22:22those are fields
22:22that you want people
22:24to feel as though
22:25they are invested
22:25in the job,
22:26that they want to
22:27almost have an itching
22:28to stop whoever comes
22:29because they want
22:29to show that they're
22:30actually in financial
22:31security.
22:32To not to pay them
22:33and have them be a pawn,
22:35I don't know how
22:35anyone could feel safe.
22:36Well, I'll take it
22:37a step further.
22:38I slightly disagree.
22:39I would like to modify
22:40what she said.
22:41She said to do your job
22:42well.
22:42How about to do your job,
22:43period?
22:44So you go to work
22:45and you don't get paid,
22:46but meanwhile,
22:47the politicians that we
22:48send on camera,
22:49Capitol Hill,
22:49to handle their business,
22:51to reach an accord
22:51so we don't have to
22:52go through such things,
22:53they're the ones
22:54getting paid at the
22:55same time that you
22:56don't, they're disgusting.
22:57It's just that simple.
22:58We got to look at it
22:59from this standpoint.
23:03480 TSA workers
23:04have quit,
23:05according to the latest
23:06report.
23:0761,000 went unpaid
23:09over the last month.
23:1061,000 American citizens.
23:12Now you got to look
23:13at it from that standpoint
23:14and say as disgusting
23:15as it is,
23:15it gets a bit worse
23:17when you're looking
23:17at the president
23:18of the White House
23:19and they're projecting
23:20that he's made him
23:20and his family
23:21over 1.4 billion.
23:22I think it's about
23:23triple that,
23:24but that's neither
23:24here nor there.
23:25You've got other
23:25politicians that are
23:26doing what they're doing.
23:27You've got the Democrats
23:28sitting up there
23:29and talking about
23:29how there are some
23:30people who Americans
23:31need to suffer
23:32because they should have
23:33never,
23:33the 77 million people
23:35who voted for
23:35President Trump
23:36should have never
23:37voted for him
23:37to begin with.
23:38so maybe we'll allow
23:40them to feel
23:42voters' remorse
23:43so they won't make
23:44the same mistake twice
23:45and then on the
23:46Republican side,
23:47you've got them
23:47gung-ho about the fact
23:49that they regained
23:49power in office,
23:51that they had to deal
23:51with the nonsense
23:52that they were dealing
23:52with when Biden
23:53opened the damn borders.
23:54Either way you slice it,
23:56they're okay,
23:57the Americans get screwed
23:58and we're left to talk
23:59about the horrible
24:00job of getting this.
24:08That's the second
24:09good presidential speech
24:10I've heard tonight.
24:11Oh.
24:12No, really.
24:13I mean, it is...
24:16It is amazing
24:18that when people
24:19actually aren't
24:20running for president,
24:21they sound so much
24:22better than the ones
24:23who do.
24:23Yeah.
24:24You know, what is that?
24:25Well, what that is...
24:26You have to not
24:27give a shit.
24:27Well, ladies first.
24:28No, candidates first.
24:32Well...
24:35You know what?
24:36No, he told me
24:36he wasn't doing it.
24:37If they don't mess
24:38with my money,
24:39I will be a candidate.
24:39Yeah, that's...
24:40I'll tell you that right now.
24:41But I will tell you this.
24:43I mean, listen.
24:43They sound that way
24:44because they're too busy
24:46in keeping their jobs
24:47instead of doing their jobs.
24:48What they're doing,
24:49they're in office.
24:50They've got a little bit
24:51of power,
24:51in some cases,
24:52a lot of power,
24:53and they want to make sure
24:54to do things
24:54that are politically expedient
24:55to maintain their status quo.
24:57But in the end,
24:59what you're really highlighting
25:00is that you're thinking
25:00about yourself
25:01instead of thinking
25:02about your constituents
25:03and the American people.
25:04We've been lamenting this
25:05for quite some time.
25:06It's just become
25:07a bit more flagrant
25:08with Trump in office
25:09because you have
25:10so many people
25:11who hate him
25:11and you have
25:12so many people
25:13he hate.
25:14He hates.
25:15That ultimately
25:15it comes down
25:16to the American citizen
25:17being a distant third
25:18on the chart
25:19of things
25:21that you should prioritize.
25:22You even saw that
25:22just last day
25:23with the Deputy Attorney General
25:25Todd Blanche
25:25making a comment
25:26that they've gotten rid
25:28of, bragging,
25:28they've gotten rid
25:29of everyone
25:29who has helped
25:30in the prosecution
25:31or investigation
25:31of the President
25:32of the United States
25:32suggesting that
25:34in order for you
25:35to be a good public servant
25:36in the executive branch
25:37you have to have
25:39the ultimate loyalty
25:40to the President
25:41of the United States.
25:42When I was a prosecutor
25:43and I would say
25:44Laura Pote
25:45on behalf of
25:46the POTUS
25:47it was the people
25:48of the United States
25:49not the President.
25:50And so you have this idea
25:51that you're supposed
25:52to have loyalty
25:52to the wrong person.
25:54We're not supposed
25:55to be a nation
25:56where one person
25:57is king
25:57and the rest of everyone
25:58takes a knee.
26:01I'm in California
26:03I'm in California Bill
26:05I'm feeling a little
26:06bit better right now
26:07but I have to confess
26:08to you that over
26:09the last couple of weeks
26:10I threw up about
26:11three times
26:11watching these damn
26:12people working for Trump.
26:13If I see another one
26:15of these administration
26:16officials fawning
26:17over Donald Trump
26:19I'm going to lose
26:19my damn mind.
26:20What happened
26:21to just doing your job?
26:22If somebody wants
26:23I don't care
26:23if it's Pete Hegseth
26:24I don't care
26:25if it's Kristi Noem
26:25before she ultimately
26:27was reassigned
26:28I don't care
26:28if it's Mark Wayne Mullen
26:30who's the new
26:31secretary for the
26:32Department of Homeland Security
26:33I don't care
26:34anybody but Rubio
26:35because he hasn't done that
26:36he's been the adult
26:36in the room
26:37the vice president himself
26:38if they went
26:39and got the president
26:40a cup of coffee
26:41they literally are saying
26:43I just want to applaud
26:44your great leadership
26:45he's such a wonderful
26:46great younger
26:46you can't
26:47we are so lucky
26:48to have him in office
26:49I mean the kiss
26:50excuse my language
26:52the kissing of his ass
26:54is so
26:55it's so nauseating
26:58it's so noisy
26:59and listen
26:59I'm saying
27:00I'm not saying
27:02I'm not saying
27:03don't do your job
27:04I'm not saying
27:04if you believe
27:05in his vision
27:05don't be loyal to him
27:06I'm not saying
27:06any of that
27:07but the fawning
27:08they don't know
27:09breeds such a flagrant
27:11level of distrust
27:12because if you fawn
27:14over him so much
27:15you're shoving
27:16or throwing objectivity
27:17right out the window
27:18and then the chances
27:19of us believing
27:20that you would ever
27:21disagree with him
27:22or you would ever
27:23speak against him
27:23in any way
27:24on behalf of
27:25the American people
27:26it's not something
27:27we can trust
27:27I mean
27:34it's all true
27:35I couldn't
27:36I couldn't argue
27:36with anyone
27:37I'm just amazed
27:37that 10 years on
27:38people are just
27:40still that agitated
27:41about it
27:41I just
27:42I'm used to this
27:43agitated about what
27:44what you just said
27:45the fawning
27:45yes
27:46I mean I was doing
27:47bits about this
27:48you know
27:48back before I was
27:49wearing glasses
27:50you went ahead
27:50of the curve
27:50but I don't know
27:53if it was this bad
27:53I know
27:54but it's been going
27:55on for a very long time
27:56I just can't
27:57like he is who he is
27:59I just can't get
28:00constantly
28:01I'm not talking
28:01about him
28:01endlessly worked up
28:03about the same things
28:04which I recognize
28:04I don't condoning them
28:06I'm just saying
28:06it amazes me
28:07that people are
28:07going to be like
28:08Donald Trump
28:09is getting his ass
28:09kissed all the time
28:10like yeah
28:12yeah
28:12but if you
28:13if you stop caring
28:14if you stop
28:14getting agitated
28:15anyway
28:17but that's
28:17you know
28:18that's the net
28:20in the tennis game
28:21it's not going away
28:22how do we still
28:23win the game
28:24but it's
28:24it's not
28:25it's not that
28:26it's not going away
28:27it's growing
28:29it's it's it's
28:30I mean
28:30it's worse
28:31than
28:32I literally mean
28:34if they walk up
28:35to him
28:35and handed him
28:36a cup of coffee
28:37they have to
28:38they have to give you
28:39a soliloquy
28:39about how wonderful
28:41and marvelous he is
28:42but here's the thing
28:42here's the thing
28:43the Democrat
28:44we're going to have
28:45midterm elections
28:46very soon
28:47now here's the stats
28:49that are important
28:497 in 10 people say
28:51tariffs have
28:51cost them money
28:53food is up
28:542.9%
28:55since January
28:56household debt
28:57up 4%
28:59utilities up 6%
29:01Obamacare subsidies
29:02cut 22 million people
29:05the Democrats
29:06are not going to win
29:07this election
29:08the Republicans
29:09are going to lose it
29:10there's a difference
29:12between not winning
29:13and losing
29:14okay
29:15the Democrats
29:16can't not win this
29:17because of all this
29:19that's going on
29:20but that's kind of
29:21the Democrats
29:23can't not win
29:25this
29:25the Democrats
29:26not the midterms
29:27they've invented ways
29:28to lose
29:29not the midterms
29:31okay
29:33not the midterms
29:36not the
29:37the midterms
29:38they're just going to say
29:38let Trump win this one
29:40for us
29:40and that's going to happen
29:41but it's kind of like
29:43I saw this game
29:43you probably watched it
29:44because you see every game
29:45some
29:46I think it was the Cavaliers
29:47and they
29:47they won
29:48like 138 to 132
29:51and the coach
29:51after the game
29:52was pissed
29:53his team won
29:54but he said like
29:54if we're going to give up
29:55132 points
29:56we're not going anywhere
29:58in the playoffs
29:58he's right
29:59and that's what this
30:00reminds me of
30:01well that's because
30:03to your point maybe
30:04if you are simply
30:06campaigning
30:07on being reactive
30:08if you're simply
30:09campaigning on
30:09somebody clutching
30:10their pearls
30:11and being horrified
30:12by what's become
30:13normalized
30:14then you will not
30:15be successful
30:15at pointing out
30:16what ought to be
30:17if you spend your time
30:19focusing on
30:20what the standards are
30:21what the national
30:22practices ought to be
30:23what the law actually says
30:24what free voting looks like
30:26what the idea of
30:27accessible
30:28and free democracy
30:30and free press
30:31looks like
30:31if you are
30:32active and proactive
30:33about those things
30:34I think it's difficult
30:36for people to look
30:37a different direction
30:38but if you spend your time
30:39assuming that everyone
30:41is going to be
30:41as shocked
30:43as disgusted
30:44and as willing
30:46to be worked up
30:47as long as they are
30:48then that is the losing game
30:49look at your point
30:50you just made
30:50you're shocked
30:51if people are still
30:52caring about it
30:52if that's the strategy
30:53I didn't say that
30:54I didn't say caring
30:55I just worked up
30:57still shocked
30:57worked up about it
30:58tomato tomato
30:59you care what you worked up about
31:01it's so different
31:01it's so different
31:02you still care
31:04but you just
31:04after 10 years
31:05you just can't
31:06I just can't get it up
31:07it for me
31:09it just
31:09for this issue
31:14for this issue
31:17I just
31:18I look at it
31:19from the standpoint
31:20I will say this
31:20if Trump
31:22and the administration
31:23had stayed
31:24on the same path
31:26and never sent
31:27Tom Holman in
31:28to Minnesota
31:29and you know
31:31after the two
31:32individuals
31:33were unfortunate
31:34they unfortunately
31:34lost their lives
31:35dealing with ICE
31:36and what have you
31:37if they had stayed
31:37on that path
31:38and hadn't sent them
31:39to Minnesota
31:40to handle that
31:40to calm the waters
31:42per se
31:42and Kristi Noem
31:43still was allowed
31:45to go out there
31:45and spend about
31:46200 million dollars
31:47advertising herself
31:48and talking about DHS
31:50and all the things
31:50that it was doing
31:51I think that they
31:52would be on a path
31:53to their own
31:53self-destruction
31:54but having calmed
31:55that down
31:56I think that it's
31:57still possible
31:58they can win
31:58the midterms
31:59the message
31:59between things
32:00that matter
32:01those are actions
32:02that actually matter
32:03yes
32:04the ass kissing
32:05and his craziness
32:06and that's just
32:07that's just not
32:08going to go away
32:08until he does
32:09right
32:09anyway
32:10other stories
32:11to cover
32:11really important stories
32:12can you show
32:13the headline
32:13about Barbie
32:14I thought I had seen
32:16everything
32:17this was so disturbing
32:19Barbie sold
32:20a discount store
32:21test positive
32:22for cocaine
32:23and fentanyl
32:24just when you think
32:25it's safe
32:26to go back
32:26in the water
32:27I tell you
32:28this was so disturbing
32:30to me
32:30and it's true
32:31apparently Barbie
32:32is into the drugs
32:33and I don't know
32:35if you have kids
32:35who have Barbies
32:37but we thought
32:37as a PSA
32:38because we're always
32:39trying to do
32:39the right thing
32:40for America
32:40we would show you
32:42some of the signs
32:42which you'd like
32:43to see
32:43if your kid
32:44has a Barbie
32:46you might want
32:46to look out
32:47for these
32:47for example
32:49Barbie
32:50she looks like
32:51a troll doll now
32:52that's
32:55the Paw Patrol dog
32:56always barks
32:57at her purse
33:04she's dating
33:05Lamar Odom
33:12all of her
33:14conversations
33:15now end
33:15with the words
33:16we good
33:16right
33:22her famous
33:23pink Corvette
33:24now has
33:24Florida plates
33:25and trash bags
33:26for windows
33:32Bob the Builder
33:33found her
33:33stealing copper wire
33:35from a job set
33:41in the Barbie sequel
33:43she's now being
33:44played by Courtney Love
33:52she told Ken
33:54he needs to get
33:55himself tested
33:55that's
34:02and she's sleeping
34:04in the box
34:04she came in
34:05oh that's so sad
34:08so sad
34:11alright so
34:15big big story
34:16we have not
34:17mentioned yet
34:17let's do it now
34:18big tech
34:20finally lost one
34:22finally lost one
34:23a lot of people
34:24are just happy
34:25for this
34:25because they've
34:27never lost one
34:27and this
34:29the two trials
34:29went in New Mexico
34:30$375 million
34:32awarded
34:33this is against
34:33Meta
34:34that's Facebook
34:35and Instagram
34:36and YouTube
34:37I think is in all
34:39business
34:39but mostly it's
34:40Zuckerberg who got
34:42the headlines
34:43lack safety
34:44protocols
34:45that allowed
34:46sexual predators
34:47to contact
34:48minors
34:48and then
34:50the one here in L.A.
34:51we heard a lot
34:51about
34:52a young woman
34:54named Kaylee
34:54got $6 million
34:55claiming she was
34:56hooked on YouTube
34:57and Instagram
34:58and
34:59the difference here
35:01is that
35:01they've always been
35:02safe
35:02because there was
35:03a shield law
35:04from 1996
35:05that said
35:06you can't hold
35:07people responsible
35:08hold the companies
35:09responsible
35:09for the content
35:10this is
35:11making the case
35:13the app itself
35:14is addictive
35:15they're making
35:16the analogy
35:16to tobacco companies
35:17you knew it
35:18and they have quotes
35:20by the way
35:20from Meta
35:21employees like
35:22LOL
35:23I mean all social media
35:24were basically pushers
35:26that's kind of
35:27a smoking gun
35:27so
35:29they knew
35:30they were doing it
35:31just like the
35:32tobacco companies
35:33and they did it
35:35the counter argument
35:36is
35:37doesn't all media
35:38try to hook you
35:39doesn't every product
35:40try to hook you
35:41and make you come back
35:42for more of it
35:42isn't that the
35:43American way
35:44well this is a
35:45design defect
35:46right
35:47that they are thinking
35:47essentially that
35:48they're trying to hook
35:49just like big tobacco
35:50as long as possible
35:52the biggest audience
35:53by confronting
35:54and trying to go after
35:55the most vulnerable minds
35:56who don't have
35:58perhaps the wherewithal
35:59or the restraint
36:01or even the ability
36:02plain and simple
36:03to put the phone down
36:04to turn away from it
36:05and so you've got
36:06this issue
36:07where they were
36:07intentionally trying
36:08to design an app
36:09whether it's the
36:09you know auto scroll
36:11or it's the infinite scroll
36:12whatever the scroll
36:13might be
36:13to make sure
36:14that you stayed on
36:15it kind of like
36:16the way they would go after
36:17with Joe Campbell
36:18and everything else
36:18young people
36:19so I think this is
36:20a very creative
36:21and necessary way
36:22to go around
36:23the section 230
36:24you're talking about
36:25that suggests
36:26that you're always
36:27going to be immunized
36:29that you can do no wrong
36:30because somebody else
36:31actually said the content
36:32this is
36:33I'm pushing the content
36:34I'm making sure
36:35that you never can
36:36turn away from the content
36:37isn't that very much
36:39like big tobacco
36:40and on it be punished
36:41it's very much
36:41like Lay's potato chips
36:43well I can eat just one
36:45you can eat just one
36:46I can eat just one
36:47okay but
36:53things we didn't know
36:54about to find out
36:56on this show
36:57I would say this
36:58two things could be true
36:59everything that you
37:00just highlighted
37:00is right on the money
37:01and I get that
37:02and when you consider
37:04the algorithms
37:05and how things are
37:06targeting towards adults
37:09then one could easily
37:10argue you know
37:11you've got malintent
37:13when you're targeting
37:13children because
37:14they're more vulnerable
37:15and so your willingness
37:16to do that
37:16you definitely need
37:17to be called
37:18to the carpet for it
37:19but in the same breath
37:20that that can be true
37:21it's also true
37:22that parental supervision
37:24to some degree
37:25definitely needs
37:26to be something
37:27that needs to be addressed
37:28there are a lot
37:28of people out here
37:29that are deadbeat parents
37:31that they're not
37:31paying attention
37:32to what goes on
37:33with their children
37:33that's why they think
37:34this may lose
37:35on appeal
37:36it probably will
37:37lose on appeal
37:37or at least be modified
37:38to be a lesser penalty
37:39than it's expected
37:41to be
37:42there's a problem
37:42with the tobacco
37:44analogy there
37:44because this
37:45the parents
37:47are the cigarette
37:48companies
37:49in this analogy
37:49because they gave
37:50the kid the phone
37:51I mean this kid
37:52was on Instagram
37:53at eight
37:54eight
37:55okay
37:56you know
37:57this is like
37:58parents all over
38:00the country
38:00let their kids
38:01go to their room
38:02with the phone
38:03it's like
38:03go to your room
38:05kids and smoke
38:05cigarettes
38:06in your room
38:08you know
38:08I mean
38:09that's crazy
38:09there's a level
38:10of culpability
38:10that has to be placed
38:11on the shoulders
38:12of the parents
38:13to the point where
38:13you know what
38:14it ain't just
38:15companies that need
38:16to be targeted
38:16to some degree
38:17you gotta investigate
38:18and probe
38:18into what role
38:19the parents played
38:20in assisting
38:21their children
38:22being vulnerable
38:23there was their
38:23dereliction of duty
38:24did you pay attention
38:25were you on top of things
38:26were you even interested
38:27in being on top of things
38:28all of those things
38:29fall in line
38:30as far as I'm concerned
38:31if you're gonna go to court
38:32if a judge is looking at it
38:33you should look at all of those things
38:34I think it's a cop out
38:34though in some respects
38:35to say
38:36that it's just
38:37the parent's responsibility
38:37I agree
38:38I'm a parent
38:39not just
38:40not just
38:40I'm saying
38:41that I am a parent
38:42and I am a very
38:43vigilant parent
38:44I'm driving my kids
38:46I'm the one who has the car
38:48and yet
38:48I've noticed
38:49that they know
38:50the words to songs
38:51I've never played
38:52now how does that happen
38:53right
38:54they're in school
38:55how many hours a day
38:56they're in sports
38:57how many hours
38:57they're in band
38:58or whatever else
38:58they're in my car
38:59they're in my house
39:00how do you know
39:01all the words to this song
39:02and I'll tell you
39:03that's part of the idea
39:04of why
39:06I'd like to know
39:06the answer to that bill
39:07we never know
39:08as parents we don't know
39:11however
39:12and so the thing about it is
39:15that is that gap
39:16that question that's there
39:17is exactly where
39:18some companies say
39:19aha
39:20here's where I will
39:21find myself
39:21nest
39:22and make sure
39:22that it flourishes
39:23to take advantage
39:24of this particular child
39:24and we do this all the time
39:25we bring things
39:26into our homes
39:27that we don't know
39:27are okay
39:28I don't have kids
39:29so if I'm off base here
39:31can't you say
39:32to your kid
39:33how do you know
39:34those words
39:34I do
39:35and guess what they say
39:36I hear it
39:37yeah
39:39friends
39:39people in school
39:40people you're hanging out with
39:42all this stuff
39:42on the radio
39:43I got two daughters
39:45and so I say this
39:46not to say
39:46that parents
39:47should not be vigilant
39:48but I say that
39:49if you think
39:50that companies
39:51that have a vested
39:52monetary interest
39:54in making sure
39:55that they can hook
39:55a consumer
39:56for a lifetime
39:57are not looking
39:59for the moments
39:59of vigilance
40:00being let down
40:01that's the whole point
40:03and so
40:03why do kids drink
40:04why do kids smoke
40:06but what I'm saying
40:06Laura is
40:07you're absolutely right
40:08but the flip side
40:09to that is
40:09that doesn't mean
40:10that if you're a court
40:11and a case comes
40:13before you
40:13you don't ask
40:14because every parent
40:16ain't as diligent
40:17as Laura Coates
40:17a lot of parents
40:19drop the ball
40:19a lot of parents
40:20ain't doing their job
40:21a lot of parents
40:21are out doing
40:22their own damn thing
40:23and they don't give a damn
40:24about what their kids
40:24are doing
40:25they literally say
40:25hey you got a roof
40:26over your head
40:27you got food on the plate
40:28go live your life
40:29and they're not
40:30putting forth
40:30their due diligence
40:31to make sure
40:32they're actually parenting
40:33and as a result
40:34it has a harmful effect
40:36not just on the kid
40:37but on society
40:38because of the kind
40:39of kids you raised
40:39because you weren't
40:40raising them at all
40:41when those kind
40:42of things happen
40:42if you're in the court
40:43of law
40:44you know you probe
40:44that
40:45you look into that
40:45you say
40:46a case by case basis
40:47as it pertains
40:48to parent involvement
40:49definitely is warranted
40:51especially in cases
40:52like this
40:57did you
40:57did you see
40:59what sir charles
40:59said yesterday
41:00about whooping kids
41:01what did he say
41:02charles buckley
41:03you gotta spank him
41:04oh no no no
41:05I don't
41:06I've said this
41:07on many many occasions
41:08I mean luckily

41:19oh no no no
41:20you act up
41:22you gonna feel something
41:23okay
41:24make no mistake
41:25about it
41:25now I understand
41:26in this politically
41:28I understand
41:29in this politically
41:30correct world
41:31we're living in
41:32and I call it
41:32the Oprah-fied society
41:33because it started
41:34with her
41:35and all of these
41:35damn explanations
41:36for every little
41:37thing that went on
41:37Dr. Phil
41:38Dr. Oz
41:39and everybody in between
41:39came along
41:40thereafter
41:41but it never changed
41:43in the Smith household
41:44when I acted up
41:46I got my ass whipped
41:48when my father did
41:49he got his ass whipped
41:51it's been passed down
41:53through generations
41:54it ain't changing
41:55you understand
41:56you act up
41:58and you're a kid
41:59and you're disobedient
42:02you're gonna get
42:03your ass whipped
42:04they're gonna be
42:05corporate punishment
42:06pulling a tree branch
42:07no they did that
42:08in my grandfather's days
42:09and stuff
42:09they're gonna do that now
42:10but when you get a spanking
42:12in the Smith household
42:14hell yes
42:20I'm not gonna come
42:22to your house
42:22okay
42:23you don't do that
42:24I don't like to be spanked
42:29that's the point
42:30is they don't like it
42:33that's why they didn't act up
42:35I'm gonna leave it alone
42:36yeah this
42:40this conversation
42:41is getting weird
42:42Mrs. Robinson
42:45we have only a few minutes
42:47but you're a big sports guy
42:49and this is a big issue
42:50more than sports
42:51Olympics
42:52what do you make
42:53of that story today
42:54that the Olympics
42:55have said
42:56they are not allowing
42:57trans women anymore
42:58competing in women's sports
43:01I imagine
43:02I imagine
43:04this is gonna be an issue
43:05in the Democratic primaries
43:07it's another one
43:08where you can make
43:09Democrats die on the hill
43:10that they died on last time
43:11if it's an issue
43:12within the Democratic party
43:13that's their own damn problem
43:16biological men
43:17should not be competing
43:20against biological girls
43:22in sports
43:23period
43:25period
43:26I am a supporter
43:27of the LGBTQ plus
43:30community
43:30I don't want to get
43:31in the way of anybody's
43:32civil rights
43:33civil liberties
43:34or anything like that
43:35but what about
43:35protecting the young ladies
43:37young ladies
43:38going up against
43:39men
43:39you know
43:40biological men
43:42there is no excuse
43:44for that
43:44and by the way
43:44you know what
43:45you could be
43:45you know Liam Thomas
43:46for example
43:47was you know
43:48was a male
43:48and he was
43:49ranked like
43:49a swimmer now
43:50yeah the swimmer
43:51he was ranked like
43:51over 400th in the world
43:53she
43:53and then she
43:54and then he became
43:55a she
43:56okay
43:56he became you know
43:57transitioning
43:58and number one
43:59well damn it
44:01does it really
44:02take an Einstein
44:03to realize
44:03that there's something
44:04wrong with that
44:04picture
44:05I mean are we
44:06kidding ourselves
44:07I know
44:07but
44:07we're talking sports
44:09that's my lane
44:10and I'm telling you
44:11there is no reason
44:13for a biological male
44:14to be competing
44:15in women's sports
44:16we certainly don't
44:17see biological women
44:18transitioning
44:19and trying to compete
44:20in men's sports
44:21I don't hear about that
44:22but is there
44:24when the democratic
44:25debates come
44:26yeah
44:27is there one
44:28candidate
44:28on that stage
44:29who's going to
44:30be clear like this
44:31who's going to
44:32just say it
44:32outright like that
44:33no
44:33exactly
44:34and that's why
44:35they're going to
44:36be vulnerable
44:36after they kick ass
44:37in the midterm
44:38that's why
44:38they've been vulnerable
44:39all right
44:39thank you very much
44:40time for new rules
44:48okay new rule
44:50someone has to
44:51break it to these
44:52venezuelans who
44:53poured into the
44:54streets to celebrate
44:54their victory over
44:55the u.s. and the
44:56world baseball classic
44:57that we didn't even
44:59know that was a
44:59thing
45:02no really
45:03enjoy the victory
45:04just know that
45:05while you're honking
45:06your horns and
45:07dancing the night
45:07away our cia
45:08planned this as a
45:10distraction so trump
45:11can take your oil
45:18new rule woke
45:20ain't dead
45:20here in california
45:22this week they
45:22canceled the
45:23governor's debate
45:24because some people
45:25were outraged that
45:26the top six
45:27candidates were all
45:28white even though
45:29this is what the
45:30people voted for
45:31and the people
45:32are 62 percent
45:34minority
45:34if their opinion
45:36was javier becerra
45:37is fucking awesome
45:38we'd know
45:46and for the record
45:47just because the
45:48top six candidates
45:49are all white it
45:49doesn't mean there's
45:50no diversity
45:51i mean i see all
45:53different types of
45:54people i don't want
46:03new rule now that young
46:05people have started
46:05knitting to avoid
46:08spending too much time
46:09on their phones
46:10someone must
46:11congratulate them for
46:12finding a bigger waste
46:13of time than social
46:14media
46:17i mean knitting made
46:21sense when we had to
46:22make our own clothes
46:23but now we have
46:24factories of children
46:25for that
46:32seriously just shake
46:34your ass kids on
46:35tiktok if option b is
46:36to spend all day making
46:37a potholder that's all
46:38i'm saying
46:44new rule to save
46:45everybody a lot of
46:46time the news
46:47media must only
46:48report when a member
46:49of the dugger family
46:50isn't accused
46:51of molesting a kid
46:58also you should change
46:59the name of the show
47:00from 19 kids and
47:01counting to 19 counts
47:03i'm not kidding
47:11uh new rule don't
47:12make me look at a
47:13baby picture of your
47:14new grandchild
47:28they all look alike
47:29to me
47:31i don't have kids
47:33i don't like kids
47:34and i don't want to
47:34see kids
47:35so to me
47:36this is the equivalent
47:37of sending me
47:38an unsolicited
47:39dick pic
47:47it is
47:49now i know what
47:50women feel like
47:51i have to pretend
47:51to like it
47:52and also be amazed
47:53at how proud you are
47:54of something so tiny
48:02and finally new rule
48:04given the increasing
48:05number in recent years
48:06of sightings by serious
48:08military personnel of
48:09unknown aircraft operating
48:11outside our current
48:12abilities
48:13if at this point you
48:14don't believe aliens are
48:16here and observing us
48:17maybe you're the
48:18conspiracy theorist
48:25now in the past when it
48:28came to alien life i was
48:29like a liberal college
48:31girl whose roommate is a
48:32lesbian
48:36not sold on it but open to
48:38the possibility
48:40but look my opinion
48:42changes when the
48:43information changes
48:44yes there was a time
48:46when the only actual
48:47contact we heard
48:48from about aliens
48:49was rural people
48:51who'd been abducted
48:52and anally probed
48:55but you don't hear about
48:57that anymore
48:57why my guess is the
49:00aliens gathered all the
49:02information they needed
49:03about us that they could
49:04get through our ass
49:10it's where i'd look
49:12but now they seem to be
49:14on to another phase
49:15they seem to want to be
49:17spotted why else this
49:18constant playing peek-a-boo
49:19with our military
49:20and it's serious people now
49:22not hippies or hillbillies
49:24serious people people
49:26with mike pence's haircut
49:34who are saying that they
49:36keep seeing things move
49:38through air and ocean in
49:40ways that defy our physics
49:43military pilots who say
49:45yeah i saw something doing
49:46mach 10 and then it stopped
49:48on a dime and disappeared
49:50that's not a drone that's
49:52something from another
49:53country even elon is like
49:55not me
50:04now the government's
50:05official public line is
50:07we don't know what these
50:08things are but in private
50:09what they say is no
50:11seriously we don't know
50:12what the fuck these things
50:13are but they didn't leak from
50:21a lab in china that's why in
50:242022 congress had historic
50:27first-of-its-kind hearings on
50:28what the defense department
50:29calls unidentified aerial
50:32phenomena formerly called ufos
50:34but don't dead name them
50:37and again it's not weirdos and
50:40beardos saying this it's the
50:42guys with buzz cuts and
50:43security clearances who are
50:45spilling the tea and
50:46politicians who you don't think
50:49are crazy people like chuck
50:51schumer harry reed marco rubio
50:54kirsten gillibrand they're not
50:57disputing it jimmy carter said he
50:59saw ufo george w bush said yeah
51:02there are secrets about aliens
51:03and no i won't tell you
51:08barack obama recently made
51:10headlines when he said aliens
51:11quote are real but i haven't
51:13seen them former director of
51:16national intelligence general
51:17james clapper is on board and
51:19our current director of national
51:21intelligence has indicated that
51:23she believes in the possibility of
51:25alien life also that it illegally
51:28voted for joe biden in georgia
51:38if you don't believe me now you
51:40will in june when steven spielberg's
51:43movie called disclosure day comes
51:45out this on the heels of the
51:48documentary from last year called
51:49age of disclosure you get it
51:52disclosure we're at the
51:54disclosure moment in human
51:56history so can we cut the crap
51:58they're here they came in a sphere
52:00get used to it
52:03so
52:08so if i may i would now like to
52:11address the aliens directly
52:16in my capacity as the most
52:18rational person on earth which
52:21i'm sure they know
52:27i'm sure they know everything about
52:29me if they figured out intergalactic
52:31travel i'm guessing they have cable
52:35and so
52:38as the representative of all humans
52:44the first thing i'd like to say to you
52:46is hi please don't kill us even though
52:50you could
52:57probably just by pushing a button and i'm
52:59guessing you think about it every time
53:01you see jake paul's podcast
53:08look we've seen you go from zero to
53:11what the fuck was that in half a second
53:13we get it there's no sense trying to
53:15fight you
53:15two years ago one of our drones
53:18launched a hellfire missile at a
53:20high-speed orb and it hit it and just
53:22bounced off
53:24first of all i'd just like to offer an
53:26apology
53:29for that on behalf of all humans that
53:32was our bad that was dumb and yes we
53:36do have a lot of dumb people here
53:37assholes hotheads shitheads
53:40manosphere morons meatheads and that's
53:43just the conservatives don't get me
53:44started on the woke
53:52so it certainly would be understandable
53:54if you decided we were just too stupid
53:57to live
53:57it must be maddening studying us
53:59because we are obviously capable of
54:01advancements
54:02that aren't completely embarrassing like
54:05gene editing and cloud computing but
54:07we're also idiots
54:09we're the species that created the
54:11internet but also the one that once
54:14broke it with this chick's ass
54:20so
54:30so i don't know what we can offer you
54:32the stuff that we think makes living
54:34here great i'm guessing you're way
54:36beyond sex and good food and getting
54:39fucked up i i doubt if you care about
54:43that stuff minerals we got them
54:47i don't know if that still interests you you
54:49may be beyond them or maybe ours are
54:51obsolete although have you heard about
54:53clean coal
55:01but yeah i don't know what we have here
55:03for you climate we think ours is pretty
55:05uniquely pleasant in the universe but
55:07who knows what you have but just so you
55:10know ours has trillions of viruses in it
55:13and that's what killed the aliens in
55:15war of the worlds
55:19just pointing that out as a friend
55:23because i'd like to think we are friends
55:26after all if you wanted us dead
55:27we'd be dead already truth is you may be
55:31here to save us not kill us
55:33in 1967 an air force captain and nuclear
55:37crew commander who were there
55:38revealed an incident when something
55:41unidentifiable hovered over maelstrom air
55:44base in montana and then miraculously
55:4610 nuclear weapons suddenly became
55:49disabled was something about to go
55:52terribly wrong and you stepped in
55:53whatever it is please do more shit like
55:56that
56:03please feel free to beat our swords into
56:07plowshares because plainly we're not
56:09going to do it get us off oil get us off
56:12our phones and ai the father of ai said
56:16there was a 10 to 20 percent chance of it
56:19being an extinction event and yet we keep
56:22hurtling forward with it as we do with
56:25global warming and the factory farming
56:27that causes pandemics look it would be
56:30great if we could stop ourselves from
56:32self-destructive behavior but the truth
56:34is you should think of the human race as
56:38britney spears
56:43it would be nice if we didn't need a
56:45conservatorship but in reality we really
56:48do
56:50thank you aliens thank you people that's
