This Week's Top Stories | Midterm Attack Ads Are Filled With Lies

place with the realist housewives, the lost city in the Ocean. No, that's Atlantis. But still same feeling. We're here. Oh, and I can feel it. You feel amazing. This feels good. This feels really good. Oh. I'm excited for this. This is great. We're gonna be here all all week. We're gonna be here all right. And if you're asking why, that's because you know that's how long I'll lay over is now I'm joking. I'm joking. It's because Georgia is

the epicenter of America's elections right now. Yeah, decided everything, decided the presidential race. Now it could decide the mid terms. And I know I know there are a few other states. I know there are, but none of them have the best food, right, So I'm loving the food out here. Everything is extra. I love it. Yeah, you got you got that Southern fried chicken. You know, you got that fried okra, you got you got fried tomatoes. Everything is fried.

Even even some of your politicians brains are fried. I like that. You went too far, but I like that. The point is We're in Atlanta and I love it. Can I tell you I am loving every single moment out here. Everything you know, the like like the yeah, the five is the five is difference. You've got good people, You've got great music. You know, everyone here is so polite as well. Yeah. Yeah. In New York people are like what the is wrong with you? But here everyone's

just like bless yo, huh, bless yo hut. And I know, I know it means the same thing, but it feels different, you know, it feels completely different. Oh. And can I just say, can I just say one of the things I've been loving most about being here is how black it is. What what I landed in Atlanta. I thought I flew black to South Africa. My mistake, because there's black people everywhere. It's like opposite Boston. I've never been

anywhere like this. This is wild. From the moment we left, like the moment I landed at the airport, this is black people ever. Everyone was black. You get in the car, your Uber drivers black. Everyone in the hotel was black. I get into the room, I turn on the TV. The news anchor is black. Throws throws to a black weather man, then crosses over to like a black sports reporter. I walk into the bathroom. I look in the mirror. That person is black. I was like what. And you

can feel it. You can feel it in the city because everyone complains that like, oh, Atlanta has so much traffic, trafl Have you felt the traffic if you felt what it's like I have. But the blackness changes that too. This is the only city I've been to where the traffic has rhythm. You can feel the trap even when you moving forward and back. It's just like it's got like a little like it's like a stop and then it's go, and then it's like stopping this go And

you're like, what are we are we do? What's happening right here? And you're like, oh, I'm gonna change lanes I'm gonna change nanthing, like oh no, I'm gonna go back to that lane, and ah, what's happening right now? Okay, what kind of traffic is this? He's gonna emerge, You're gonna e merge here, and it's like no, no, no, you're not gonna let me emerge. Well, bless your heart, sir,

bless your heart. But as I said, as I said, the reason we're here, the real reason we're here, is because we wanted to feel what it's like to be on the ground in a state that everyone is looking to as election day approaches. Everyone all right, and you can feel it. You can feel it. I mean you you all live here, you know what I'm talking about. Like, you can't even forget election days coming. Every single ad, every single ad is political now, every at, every billboard

is political. Everything, every flyer, every spam text that you get, everything is political. It's Halloween today. I bumped into a kid on the street dressed as Frankenstein, was like, hey, what are you doing? He's like, the real monster is actually inflation. This is three Musketeers. Feels like a two Musketeers. And as you know, there are two big races, two

major races that everybody's watching, two major races. First up, the governor's race, of course, yes, but the seats to seek currently occupied by Republican Brian Kemp, who's leading in the polls right now. What is that? Is that for Halloween? Is that why you're doing? Is that? What that is? Yeah? And he's running on a platform of making it harder to get an abortion but easier to get a gun. And despite his policies, Brian Camp is seen as a moderate.

That's what I find really interesting, all because all because he refused to help Donald Trump overturned the election, which is good, don't get me wrong, But that's how extreme politics has gotten in America. And he's like, I don't think we should hang Mike pants, and people like, wow, this guy's got some moderate views. Yeah, he's a real moderate politician. But of course, the person trying to stop Kemp from getting a second term is the one and only Stacy Abrews, who who, by the way, who, by

the way does it all. She writes books, She's a voting rights activist who played a big part in turning Georgia blue, and and and it turns out, it turns out she even has a budding acting career. Today we greet the President of United Earth about welcome missile caase that's coming. Okay, I see you, miss Abrams, I see you set phases to cameo. It's great. It's great to see that Stacy Abrams has gone boldly where no one

has gone before. Paramount plus I like that. Now we're gonna be chatting from Abrams right later on in the show, so we'll get back to that. But right now, right now, let's focus on a sentence showdown that has ramifications even beyond Georgia. Right, and it's between it's between Democratic Senator

Raphael Warnock and Republican candidates, and the Republican candidates herschel Walker. Yes. Now. Now, warnox campaign is focused on abortion rights and expanding infrastructure, all right, But as election day gets closer, I feel like his campaign adds and now more focused on making sure that the race doesn't go any longer than it

has to guess who's coming to Thanksgiving? That's right, I could be interrupting your Thanksgiving because if nobody gets fift the vote, there'll be a runoff, and nobody wants that to happen. Robo warnout, We don't have to mix politics and Thanksgiving. That's why I proved this message pass this proposed could I have to say that is the most convincing way to get people to vote. If you don't vote, politicians are gonna come to your house and hang out.

Can you imagine politicians just showing up on Thanksgiving? Like, ha, I'm herschel Walker. It's like, oh, hi, Dad, rang house, raw house. And by the way, by the way, I really need to understand it. What is what is going on in Georgia that Reverend Raphael Warnock is neck and neck with herschel Walker? What is happening? Like, I know, I know walkers all neck, but what what is what is happening? Every second thing the man says turns out to be alive, all right. He walks around with a

faith police badge. He pretended he was an FBI agents, all right. He claimed he was anti abortion, even though he apparently paid for one. He claimed he had only one kid, even though he has like a thousand oh and and he told people he graduates it in the top one percent of his class at the University of Georgia.

And then it turn out he never graduated at all at all like, at this point, I want to meet the hershel Walker that herschel Walker thinks he is right because at this point, at this point, everything is like he treats real life the way we treat dating apps, you know, just like in your profile, like I'm one of the tallest people. You'll love me. It's I founded my own industry and my mom lives with me, not

the other way around. Yeah, but the bigger thing about herschel Walker for me isn't all the lying in the hypocrisy. He's also just weird. He's a strange guy, you know, Like and if you don't believe me, if you don't believe me, watch him give one of my favorite answers ever in politics. Right, this is what he said when he was asked about the biggest problem facing America today. What do you see as some of the big biggest

problems going on in our country today? I think some of the biggest problems going on our country today we have so many celebrities telling people that they can't do it, telling a lot of people, oh, you know, it's you can't do it, Like you gotta feel bad for yourself, feel sorry for yourself. We just sayd theme go to. You know they've done it, but they're telling you you can't do it, and it's like, God, you did it, why they can't do it? Okay, First of all, that

was the sleepiest interview h of ever said. It's like, it's like if ambient had a podcast. Uh what was that? The only reason those two should be in the same room, is it been constant is doing brain surgery on her still walker? Because no other reason they should be talking to each other. No, because I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He says. The biggest problem, the biggest problem that America is facing right now, celebrities telling people they can't do it.

The biggest problem, the biggest part you think the average American right now is saying, I know inflation is bad right now, but the bigger issue is that I've been Eagel has never told me to follow my dreams. I could have owned a bakery by now, could have been banking for family and look and look, I get it. I get it all right. Some people be like, you're a celebrity, you're not objective. Well, I guess so, maybe I'm missing something here, you know, maybe I am and

so and so If I am. In case I've been too discouraging to the American people, let me say this. In America, you can do anything, just like herschel Walker. If you want to be an FBI agent, do you claim you're an FBI agent. If you want to graduate valedictorian, just tell people that had happened, because it did. If you want to be the father of one despite having father fall, then by God, be the father of one despite having father four children. That is the American way.

The point is, there are many major races that are going on this year, and they're really close. You know this American knows this. Right. A week from now, herschel Walker might actually be claiming victory. I mean he'll be doing that no matter what. But he could actually win for real. And that's why with one week until the election, the Democrats have pulled out the big guns. Yeah, Netflix is very own Barack Obama. This race is so important.

It even got Obama off the beach. He was down here in Georgia over the weekend and he brought that Obama swag with him. Some of you may not remember, but herschel Walker was ahead of a football player. But but but here's the question, does that make him mc quinn two weigh in on the critical decisions about our economy and our foreign policy in our future. Let's let's do a thought experiment. Let's said here at the airport and you see Mr Walker, You say, hey, there's herschel Walker,

Heisman winner. Let's have him to fly on the plane. You'd want to know, doesn't he know how to fly on that plane? Wow? Wow? Really, Randy? President Obama? Ready, you're gonna say that about a man who graduated in the top one percent of pilot school. How dare you? A lot of people don't notice about me, hershul But I was in Top Gun. That movie was about me. My name in the eighties was Pete Maverick. I love

how Obama roasts you with like a signature swag. He makes it sound so polite, but he's roasting the ship out of you. The last time I checked, you don't have any brains. But it was fun. It was fun to see Obama at it again, wasn't it. Huh? People always love seeing him come out. You know, it gets the crowd fired up, gets everybody excited. You know, that's what you get from him in a race. You know that's why they don't send Joe Biden. You know you you don't get the same thing from him. It's true,

Joe Biden wants to do it. He's always like, I'll go give him speech and everyone's like no, no, it's please, sir, please, you're needed in Washington. There's a one thousand piece puzzle. We need your help. On you go on, you go on, sir. He's like, I used to know a guy named Puzzle. Yes you did, sir, Yes you didn't, go on. You just solved that, sir. So at the end of the day, it's all gonna come down to the votes, right, who votes who doesn't, which is gonna be a little bit harder.

I don't need to tell you this, but you know this because last year Georgia State Republicans passed a very controversial bill. Right. It was a law s P two O two, which created all kinds of new obstacles to voting, fewer drop boxes, short to absentee voting windows. Uh. And it's even illegal to hand water to people waiting in line. Yeah. I mean, luckily you can still hand out to sunny because legally that's considered sewage. But at that point, I

mean people would rather that first. Now. Georgia Republicans claimed that this bill was about votes of fraud, but we all know the real motivation and that it's about fraud, right, It was about trying to suppress the voter turnout. We get it, I get it. I mean because at some point they even tried to limit early voting on a Sunday. Why Sunday, We know why? Because of souls to the polls. All right, you have an organization that makes sure that they get people going straight from church on a Sunday

to go and vote. And I gotta say that's particularly messed up. How are you going to take that away? Sunday voting was the one day when black Church was only five hours instead of ten. But can I tell you what I've loved about being here in Georgia is watching the news and realizing that the votes of suppression strategy might have backfired, because it turns out, it turns out all these new restrictions are just motivating Georgia to

vote even harder. Continued to see a record purnout for early voters in a new turn So far, more than one point six million people have already cast their votes in charge and election officials expect that number to surpass the two million mark this week. And I think a lot of people are really motivated for a bunch of different reasons. Um And I think democracy is definitely on the table. People have fought for us to have the right to vote, so we are persistent about coming to

vote early. You know a lot of people lost their lives for us to have that privilege to come out and voice our opinion. I would have came out, I was snow on the ground, that would have came out to vote. Do you think including Yeah, that's right, that's right. The voter suppression people thought that they could stifle the vote. But all if that has motivate people to vote earlier than ever. And let me tell you something. That's how you know. That's when you know you've messed up and

you made black people angry. When we arrive early to some ship, that's when you know some sh it's about to go down from black people. I am, hey, man, you're only supposed to get here at twelve and say eleven thirties, like yeah, but we need to handle some ship first. Why are you early? You're about to find out You're about to find out let's kick things off with the big news of the day, right, starting with Elon Musk, the guy who always looks like a ghost.

Where the tallowin or not? For months now, for months now, Musk has said that he wanted to own Twitter, right, And the reason he wanted to own Twitter is because he wanted to make sure that it became a haven for free speech, al right. He wanted to change it to that, because, let's be honest, up until now, you know, people have really held back on Twitter. You know, always always find myself scrolling and thinking, but what do you

really think? Why are you so reserved? Sir? So? Anyway, on Thursday, that the day Ellen officially took over, right, we got a taste of this extra free speech all right, because in the first twelve hours under Ellen's ownership, the use of the N word on Twitter shot up five per cents, which, no, you don't you don't know, you don't know who knows what it is. It could be racist, yeah,

it could be. It could be right just who feel free and feel emboldened to say it now, right, Or it could be black people watching Ellen take over like this nigger. You don't know which one it is? You're not sure. You're not sure because he's going crazy. Here's my question, here's my question. I really want, I really

want to know this. Why is it always when when the free speech people, right, all these people are like, we want free spade, why do they never want to use their free speech to say words like perambulates or or pusillanimous? Like it's never stuff like that. Have you noticed that, like we want free spade, we want free spade.

You're like, Okay, what do you want to say? Nigger? Like, really, all the things you could have said in the world, every word, everything you could have spoken about, all the issues you what do you want to say that any other word niggers? Feels like he doesn't want free speech, You just want to hate on people. Right, So, yeah, it looks like Ellen is up. He's scrambling. He's scrambling to figure out, you know, how to how to make

this whole thing work. Remember he spent forty four billion dollars where he was forced to spend forty four billion dollars because it was a troll that turned into a real He used his free speech and he paid a big price. And it's gonna be hard to make money from this thing. You know, Twitter has a lot of debts, right,

They're not profitable as a company, you know. And so today to try and mitigate this, Elon Musk came out and he said he's gonna start charging people eight dollars a month to be verified with a blue checkmark next to their name. Yeah, eight dollars a month for the blue check mark, because I guess he's hoping that everyone else on Twitter will also make terrible financial decisions like

he did. Because I'm sorry, eight dollars, what do you What are you spending eight dollars a month for like the blue check You realize what you get with eight dollars a month. You can subscribe, you can get like Netflix, you can get Paramount Plus, you can get Hulu, or or you can pay so that people verify that they're actually shipping on you. Right, It's just like, oh, this is the real Trevorer. I hate this guy. What was

he in? Funny? I was the reason? This is the reason Elon must gave, he said, the reason he's doing this, the reason he's doing it is because he's sick of Twitter's current lords and peasants system for who has or who doesn't have a blue check mark and then he ended it with power to the people blue for eight dollars a month. So here's my question. If you're trying to create equality on Twitter, why charge anyone to be verified? Huh yeah, just give everyone a blue checkmark? Then why

are you charging the people? Give it to everyone for free or give it to no one, give it to know it? Right? But it doesn't make sense to offer it as equality and then put a price on it. Do you get what I'm saying? Can you? Can you imagine if MLK was out there like I have a dream. I have a dream and I'll tell you all about it for eight not and in a month. It wouldn't be the same thing. What's all about equality? No, you're trying to make money. I get it. Yeah, So I

think this eight dollars a month thing is ridiculous. You know, if you ask me, if Elon Musk wants to make money from Twitter, what he should do. Don't charge people for blue check marks? No, you know, charge white people to say the N word. Twitter will be the most profitable company in history. Racists are gonna be taking out loans. I need a bit of extra cash. My neighbors are so goddamn loud. I can you know what else is going on in the news. Oh, of course, of course.

It's the story of that crazy dude. I'm sure you've all seen this by now, the crazy guy who broke into Nancy Pelosi's house and then attacked her eighty two year old husband with a hammer. Now, you would assume, I would assume probably all of you would assume that everyone, regardless of their politics, would be against hammering the elderly. Right, you would assume that, alright. But apparently, but apparently things have changed, because it turns out there are many Republicans

who find this whole thing really funny. A lot of Republicans have public and publicly condemned the violence, but some are actually making jokes about it. Yeah, that's exactly right, Wolf. I mean, instead of this moment of unity, what we have seen is Republicans actually mocking paul Pelosi and the attack. In fact, Donald Trump Jr. Tweeted out some really crude memes making fun of Paulo Pelosi and the incident that happened.

And then you have Carrie Lake, who is the Republican candidate for Arizona governor, who had this to say at a campaign event or here today, it is not impossible to protect our kids at school. They act like it is Nancy Pelosi. Well, she's got protection when she's indecent. Apparently her house doesn't have a lot of protection. But I'm not I'm not gonna lie. Mega comedy is weird. I don't. I don't get that. You hear the joke about the old man who was almost killed, That's that's

the joke. That's the joke. What like, like, who are these you know? You know what this is? What's crazy to me. What's crazy to me is these are the very same people, the very same people who are devastated and appalled because somebody was rude to Ted Cruise at a restaurant. Huh. These are the same people. They will be like, this was at a restaurant. They were rude to Ted Cruise at a restaurant where people go to eat and Cruise goes to lick the napkins. They were

rude to him. This is America. And look, I get it's like, it's not all Republicans. I'm not saying it's all some Republicans think it's a joke. Many other Republicans are not laughing, but not because they're being civil about it. No, they've chosen to turn this into a giant conspiracy theory. All right, Yeah, they've they've said there's a whole bunch of crazy conspiracies. They've come up with how why this has happened? Right, And then some of them have chosen

to just dismiss it. They go like, oh, this is not a big deal. There's just a random kind of crime that happens if you live in a Democrat run city. That's what they're saying. Which which is which is weird? Right? Because you tell me this is random? It's like a random, completely random, everyday crime. Right. You're telling me some right wing conspiracy theorists broke into Nancy Pelosi's house screaming where's Nancy? And you think that was a random crime? Yeah, because

we've all experienced this. Right. He's walking down the streets, some random guy jumps out with the weapons, like, where's your wife, Nancy Pelosi? And you're like, what, I'm not even married. And he's like, oh, well, if you do get married, one day, you look me up and you tell me where you live. You're like, how will I even find you? It's like, look me up on Twitter. I'll be verified. The mit chums are on. You know,

we've talked about this a little bit. This ads everywhere in Atlanta, and and every ad, every ad that I've watched in the city as a campaign ad right now. Everything you know this, you've seen it. Like I watched TV for ten minutes last night and I saw thirty minutes worth of ads and the thing that's the thing that stuck out for me was how most of them will mean and ship Georgia would be different. With Abrams, she pushed more COVID lockdowns, wanted businesses closed and kids

locked out of schools. Abram's crime plan eliminate cash bailed the same failed liberal scheme causing crime to surge in other states. Stacy Abrams and Dale Warnock support supporting babies, not just a six weeks, not just in fifteen weeks where the baby can feel pain, pun up to booty weeks, talk shows, magazine covers, television cameos, celebrity Stacy a perfect governor for liberally leeds, just not hard working Georgians. Damn you know, you know, if you if you only knew

Stacy Abrams from attack ads in Georgia. You would think she was Darth Vada combined with Fanos, combined with that asshole who cut you off in the traffic, pure evil. Stacy Abrams does all of it. And by the way, I don't understand that last part. What what was that? She's bad because she gets interviewed on TV shows like look at this? What what? What are they trying to say? Huh what is this about? What is this? Why is this? In an attack ad, she hugs Trevor Noah, which means

she wants to turn America into Africa. There's nothing wrong with hugging me. I give a good hug. I mean, on the flip side, this this is good for me. I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, no, because now I have a great excuse. Anytime I don't want to hang out with anybody, you know, they'll be like, hey, hang, I'm like, I would love to, but if we're seen together, I could be using in an attack ad. You know. Yeah, if you ever choose to run for governor of Georgia,

it's just gonna spoil you. I can't do that to you. You know, maybe you should just uber home from surgery. I think it would be better and It's not just in Georgia. This is the thing. It's not just in Georgia, and it's not just mean in this moment. It's getting men every single day. Every campaign in America right now is flooding the air waves with attack ads. Everyone. My opponent will raise your attach my opponent will cut your health care, my opponent. That's always that voice, too, right,

it's always that attack ad voice. I feel like you can say anything in that voice and it sounds terrible. You know, my opponent will donate his kidney to you. That's ton of a bitch. Wait, what I need a kidney? You know? If you ask me honestly, I think attack ads should be legal. Yeah, I mean it. I think attack ads should be legal, not campaign ads, Not campaign ads, attack ads. I'll tell you why. First of all, First of all, I think it's because they only drive up

polarization and hates. That's what they do, right. And secondly, politicians should be earning your vote by telling you what they're gonna do, not just by shipping on other candidates. Just tell me why you will do if you want me to vote, don't tell me about the other person, because you realize they're they're auditioning for the job. We don't accept the ship in any other job, right, there's no other job where you can apply for it, And then your resume isn't what you do. It's just a

list of other reasons that the other people suck. You can't do that anywhere else. Yeah, you can't just be sitting there and be like, oh, what are my strengths? Well, I think you should be focusing on Anthony's weaknesses. Yeah, that guy types with these index fingers. Yeah, so when do I start us. That's not campaigning, that's not winning votes, right, shouldn't be a part of democracy. Basically the same strategy

every R and B song from the nineties used. You remember that every song would just be some guys just coming out there like a girl. You know, your man ain't treating you writing. He never buys you flowers, he's never taken you to Disney World. She's like, well, are you gonna take me to Disney? Or a girl just saying about me? Right now? This is about your man and how he ain't doing you write. And by the way, my car's on the shops, so I might need to

borrow yours. Like it's it's not helpful, it's not healthy. And here's the thing. Here's the thing. It would be one thing if attack ads were just highlighting policy differences between candidates. My opponent wants to raise your taxes, but I want to lower him. That's that's one thing. But that's not what attack ads do, because like everything else in America, it has to be supersized. Left wing politicians are pushing sexual agendas on our children, X rated drag

shows for kids, pornography and elementary schools. Amment Oz doesn't want you to know about his deadly experiments on puppies. Katie Hobbs organized a mock slave auction. Katie Hobbs guilty of racism. No one is safe with liberal Amelia psykes. Babies have to watch their backs because of Tina Coo tech. Tina co Tech too extreme for Oregon. I'm sorry what babies have to watch their packs. If you're a baby watching that, you are crapping your pants more than usual.

You are shipping yourself. I've never seen an attack ad trying to scare babies. I was like, what child babies? Tina Kodak is here and now she's not, and now she's here, and now she's not and now she's here. And by the way, I know, I know there's some people who are thinking right now, But Trevor, don't I deserve to know the bad things about someone who's running for office? Yes, I think you do. I think you do. And ideally you would get that information from America's responsible,

objective news media. That's where you should be getting it from. Doesn't need to be in an attack because here's the thing. Here's the thing. In my opinion, these ads are not helping. They don't help. They don't help right because they don't just attack policy. They portray opponents as evil, inherently evil monsters that poisons the entire country because what happens to buy politicianship after that? Do people ever think of that? Huh? You can't be like, yes, I I said, my opponent

wants to drink the blood of children. But now that the election is over, that doesn't mean we can't work together on infrastructure. Get out in here, you pedophile, let's do this deal. You can't do that. Why would anyone support that? And what's even worse is that many attack ads are just straight up lives, straight up lives like, for instance, um, there's a. There's an ad in Texas. Greg Abbott put up this ad, right, a TV ad that's spliced together different quotes from Better or Rock to

make it seem like he said something that he didn't say, right. Yeah, campaign flyers in North Carolina they show candidates wearing defund the police T shirts that they never actually wore. Yeah, and I'm like, go, okay, well, as long as your photoshopping picks, why not go all the way? Just go all the way. Yeah, just be like, look, he's not just throwing out a garbage bag. He's throwing out the new Tailor Swift album You Monster. There's drinking children's blood,

and then there's evil. Oh and if you want to see just how bad the lies in these ads can get, look no further than this race in California. We want to show you for Hamps, the most dishonest TV campaign ad we've ever seen. Some politicians think they should control your child's education. We're trying to indoctrine in our students in the communism. J Chen is running for Congress to represent southern Californians. Here's what Chen actually said. You know,

I'm gonna be a recipient of some of these attacks. Unfortunately, they're going to be claiming that because our school district was teaching Chinese, that meant we were trying to indoctrine in our students and communism. Literally, that will be one of the points of attack. Huh. Look at that. He even called it. He said, these people are probably going to claim that we are teaching kids communism. And I guess his opponents so that, and they were like, well,

that's a great idea. We should do that. Yeah, we should do that, because he doesn't think it's bad enough. It's bad enough to attack someone, but to pretend they said something they didn't say and attack them for that, that's that's even worse. You're attacking them for something they didn't say. You realize if you edited the context is out of everything, right that that Cardy B song wap, that's a song about female sexual empowerment. But if you edit out the p now it's just a song about

wet ass. No one's gonna be dancing in the club to that song. Get a but get them them up for this wet ass. Oh please do not back that thing up on me. You can't do that. It's good for democracy. And and here's the thing that that may blow your mind at all, because a blew mine is that it's not illegal to line in attack ads. Did you know this? Yeah, it is not illegal. The courts have said that the governments cannot ban lying in political

ads because it falls under free speech. Yeah, and look, maybe you agree, maybe one of those people who thinks, oh, the government shouldn't get involved in policing what's true or false and ads. But here's the thing it already does. Right, if you lie in an ad for a car, or for a for a cell phone, or for even toilet paper, the FTC will ban that ad. Yeah, which is a weird set of priorities, all right, because if you lie

in an election ad, that could undermine your democracy. But if you lie about how many sheets on a roll of toilet paper, I mean, the worst that could happen is you end up with a wet ass. So, if you ask me, America has everything backwards. If there's one type of ad you're not allowed to lie in, it should be your political ads. Right. Not only is that better for democracy, but only is it better for democracy, But it means you would be allowed to lie in

commercial ads. And I think that would be funny as hell. Chef Boyard says is b ERRONI is quick and convenient. But of all people who ate b ERRONI immediately died in the other became transgender. You what chift pr D hiding under his at Is it critical race theory? He want to say, Chef Boyard, wrong for dinner, wrong for America, paid for it by concern citizens for spaghetti. You see, now that's what we need more. I can feel the city starting to seep into my bones. I can feel it,

you know. It feels good. Yeah, and I'm starting to become more and more Atlanta, even even the way I said when I got here, every time I said I'll say Atlanta, I would say Atlanta. I'm in Atlanta, Atlanta. And then I started noticing all of a sudden, I was like Atlanta Atlanta, but he was gone, but he started fading away. Yeah, by the time I leave, I'll just be like Lanta Atlanta. Yet, now I understand how mumble rap was invented here. I get it. I'm just

trying to shrink all the words had I had. I'm having Atlanta. I get it now. And we've had so much fun. It has been so much fun, you know, we've eaten food, we've gone out, We've seen the sights and the sounds. Yesterday we went out as a whole group, went to Magic City. You know. Oh yeah, I will say, the worst magicians ever. The only thing that disappeared was my money. And I will say we came to Atlanta to have a good time, and I have not been disappointed.

We have not been disappointed. In fact, we've been lucky that we came when we came, because this has been a rarely momentous week in that freedom has been achieved in Atlanta, and I think you know what I'm talking about. As of this week, the Atlanta Zoo has announced that people are once again allowed to bring their guns when they visit. And I was like, wow, you really don't

mess around with Second Amendment in this town. Huh, the whole South, even if the zoo people are strapped, Yeah, just packing their lunch, being like and bring the clock. You never know, you never know, just walking in, Like, yeah, now, let's see that parrots say something, say something, rob say something, Yeah, say something, say something. Yeah, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right. Yeah, you're pretty cool parrots. And you know,

if you ignore all the terrible reasons. I mean, having guns at the zoo is actually a really great idea. You know, think about it. Think about how many times you've been disappointed you go to the zoo and what happens. The animals are sleeping when you get there. Not anymore. You just walk up to that enclosure. Pap pa pa pa pa. Ah, the pan does awake. Now look at him? Oh,

look at him running for cover. You know, the only way you could get more exciting is if they said, it's not just the people, right, they should go all the way. They should give the animals guns too. I think that's what we should do, right. I mean, they're the ones who're gonna be there. It's only it's only fair to them give them guns as well. See what happens, Huh,

it's gonna be exciting. Every single exhibit is gonna turn into a Mexican standoff as people walking in like, honey, honey, honey, keep the kids behind me, keep the kids behind stay cool, Stay cool, penguins, stay cool. Slots, no sudden moves, no sudden moves, snakes, let me see those hands, all right, nobody needs to go extinct today at latter now now look obviously, obviously, other than the armed animals, the reason we're here and the reason we're excited to be here

is because the mid terms are around the corner. Right. If everybody focusing on Georgia five days away and your races are coming down to the wire, can I tell you? All right, herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock neck and neck, which is wild, means that something happens to herschel Walker could be elected senator next week. Yeah, I mean I also hope it doesn't happened. I mean, that would be crazy, herschel Walker as a senator. Can you imagine how that

would mess with the whole capital? You know, take your child to work. There's gonna feel like another insurrection and he's just gonna be like they're storming the capital all no, wait, wait, did herschel Walker's kids? It's all of his kids. It's like, allegedly my kids. You know, this whole midterm campaign has gotten so extreme it almost feels like Republicans are running a political science experiment just to see how crazy a Canada can be and still get people to vote for them.

It almost feels like that what can they do before people say no? I wouldn't vote for them. It's it's almost like Mitch McConnell's just in the lab, you know, just working away. Like all right, they routed for a Herschel Walker. Let's try a bag of what spaghetta Knox, see if they're going for that. And I don't know if you've seen this, but Herschel Walker has gone from

beefing with reality to beefing with Barack Obama. I mean, if you've seen this, yeah, that they've got a thing going back, because obviously Obama roasted him in Georgia right over the weekend, and then Walker shot back shot back that he could quote put his resume up against Obama's anytime. And first of all, it wouldn't even matter if Walker's resume was more impressive than Obama's, because Obama's has aligned his resume. That says not crazy, that carries a lot

of weight in the job interview. But also Obama was president, people, he was president for two terms. Hushall, Walker can't even carry any of his pregnancies to two chims. What are you talking about? Are you serious? Right now? I'm kidding. His resume is impressive, I mean, any resume is impressive when you can just make it up right. I was a cup as an FBI agent, a ballerina. I discovered nitrogen, also am nitrogen. The list goes on in our But yeah,

Barack Obama is back on the campaign trail. He's back out there trying to get people whipped up. You're trying to get the people voting, all right. He's hitting all the swing states around the country. And last night, last nights, both Obama and President Biden made big speeches about how there is a lot more at stake in this election than which party gets used the good bothroom at the Senates.

Folks can win if we don't do our part. And if you've got elections and I are serving as your governor, as your senator, as your secretary of State, as your attorney general, then democracy as we know it may not survive in Arizona. That's not an exaggeration, that is a fact this year. I hope you'll make the future of our democracy an important part of your decision to vote and how you vote. In our bones, we know democracy at risk is at risk. I heard what he said, though,

he said in bones we know democracy that means we're screwed. Yeah, whenever an old person feels something in their bones, it means the storms are coming. I feel it in my bones. Seither that or osteoporosis, but I think it's a storm. By the way, I love seeing Biden and Obama both doing speeches back to back. No, because sometimes you think that you're imagining it. You're like Obama had more energy Boma, and then when you see it, you're like, no, they

have very different energies that they bring. You know. It's almost like seeing a before and off to of a night Quil commercial, you know. Yeah, and I'm not saying that like the the one is better or worse. It's like a level of excitement, you know. Basically Obama is the Beyonce concert and then like Biden is the traffic on the way home. Do you know what I mean?

That's what it feels like. Actually, actually, you know what it Actually, Obama is like me right before every dinner I had an Atlanta this week, and then Biden is like me after every dinner I had an Atlanta this week. Yeah, I would walk into busy Bee and I'll be like, let's do this. I'm gonna dominate this fried chicken plate and then after I'd be like, I did not feel confident about the future of my stomach. I can feel it in my bones. But but look, however they're saying

it's however they're saying it. Obama and Biden are making the same point, and it's a salient one. This election is about whether America wants to continue being a democracy, all right, And that's actually a tough cell, believe it or not, it really is, because ironically, democracy isn't what's on people's minds right now. Right, people are paying more for groceries, they pay more for gas, right, and Democrats are going, yeah, we know that sucks, but democracy, and

voters are like, can I eat democracy? Can I fill my tank with democracy? It's a challenge, it really is. And it's a challenge because if you think about humans, we wouldn't evolve like this, right, Humans didn't evolve to think long term, right. If you think about we're designed to put long term problems over immediate problems. That's just that's just how we are, all right. The caveman who was worried about the saber tooth tiger, I was worried

about surviving. That guy survived and save to tiger survived around the Caveman who are sitting in the cave like h I wonder how we could make out hunting practices more sustainable. That guy died, right, he was right, but he died. And this is one of the flaws of democracy. It's a it's a weird flow when you consider it, right is It's not just the fact that it can fall at any time, but it's also the fact that the people who are anti democracy can use democracy to

get into power and an end democracy. And if you if you want to see a silly example of how unpredictable voting can be, look look at what happened when people got to vote on what the election sticker should look like. A sticker design contest that went viral this year is making good at its promise to an Ulster County team a few months ago. The Counties I Voted sticker contest made headlines. All great designs, but one just

happened to get some national attention. Hudson Rowan's design you can see it right there, gave away with more than nine percent of the vote. Man, that is crazy. All the incoming counties New I voted sticker for November election see see, that's what can happen. And I mean I do I do love this. Don't get me wrong. I've always wanted to see Giuliani's baby pictures. But but this is what can happen. And you heard what they said. You heard what they said. This sticker got ninety of

the vote. You realize there's no politician who gets that kind of support, right, But you know, this competition got me thinking. People go so crazy over these stickers that, in fact, I think we should use that. What we should do is we should use that energy. There's so many people who only vote for the stick up. I know some people who are like, oh, I can't wait to vote, I can get the sticker, Like what about

the election? I just want that stick up? Maybe we should use that enthusiasm to save that democracy, right, you could use save democracy. In addition to an I voted sticker, From now on, they should also have an I accept the results of the election stickup. Yeah that way. That way the day after the election, when somebody is like, you know, the vote was stolen by robot pedophiles and be like, ah, you want this stick up, I'm like, oh, Mike Pantson is lucky. I like stickers more than he's

a knack. I'll take it before we go. I wanted to remind you the term elections are approaching and the stakes are higher than they've been in generation, So make sure your voice counts.
