This Week's Top Stories | The Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade

The ruling does not make abortion illegal, but it's no longer a constitutional right, so that leaves the issue up to each state. It's likely to become illegal soon in about half the nation. Some states have already banned it as of tonight. The rest of the band states are likely to follow in the coming weeks. That's rights. The Supreme Court has officially overturned Roe v. Wade. And look, I know we expected it because the decision was leaked back in May, but that doesn't make it any better.

You know. It's kind of like when as a kid, you're acting up in the grocery store and your mom would tell you, Oh, I'm gonna whip your ass when we get home. Yeah, you weren't like, oh sweet, I'm glad she told me first. That has softened the blow, because in some ways it almost made it worse. Right, we got to dread the day, and now that day

is here, And honestly, it's kind of surreal. For fifty years, fifty years, women in America have had a constitutional right to an abortion, and now just like that, the Supreme Court has decided that it's finished. And by the way, the Constitution didn't change, all right, Nicholas Cage didn't find

a lost passage inside of a pyramid somewhere. The only thing that changed is that Donald Trump, of all people, managed to appoint three pro life justices to the Supreme Court, judges who, by the way, went on and on in their confirmation hearings about how much they respect the important precedent of Row versus Wade. And we all knew they were of shipped too, because I mean, that's the same line you use whenever you book an Airbnb. I would never throw a party, part party, party, am I even

saying that right? Party? By the way, there's a hot top in this house. Yeah. It seems like the only people on the planet who didn't realize what was happening with Joe Mansion and Susan Collins, who now say that they were tricked. Tricked, I tell you, by these judges. And by the way, why does Susan Collins never get tricked into improving healthcare or solving climate change? Huh, She's never like, oh damn it, I accidentally canceled student loan debt.

Get it together, Susan. And if the overturning wasn't bad enough, Justice Q and on himself. Clarence Thomas wrote that he wants the court to reconsider the rights to gay marriage, gay sex, and contraception. Yeah, I imagine that let's due is so extreme. He's talking about banning rights I didn't even realize could be banned. He's gonna be reading the newspaper like Justice Tom just wants to ban the right to engage in nipple play. What like at some point,

you're not even a judge anymore. You just a cock block in a fancy road. That's all. You are hating on everybody else. And by the way, by the way, the one ruling Clarence Thomas doesn't want to overturn and all the others that he mentioned is the right to interracial marriage. Yeah, which is a coincidence because he happens to be in an interracial marriage. Yeah. I guess apparently if something affects Clarence Thomas personally, he's okay with it.

Makes me think if we could just somehow get him impregnated by like a gay man, all of our problems will be solved. And by the way, that's just the joke. I know there's some right wing pundits is gonna be like, he's trying to know a threatening to sodomize and impregnant a Supreme Court justice? Is that what he's doing? That there are people standing outside, he's howl right now with the penis. Is that what he's doing? A Joe, calm

down now. Despite the Supreme Court ruling to overturn Rov. Wade, that doesn't mean people in America want abortion outlawd and the reaction. The reaction to Friday's ruling showed just how out of step the Supreme Court actually is. From Los Angeles to Cleveland and Huntsville, Alabama, Americans took to the streets nationwide over the weekend. The protests largely peaceful gatherings, once again outside the justices DC area homes, Friday and

stretching from coast to coast. Today, thousands of pro abortion rights activists jammed New York City traffic for hours, others blocking the Los Angeles Freeway. This decision, he's an outrage. This decision is absolutely terrifying. More than anything, it just makes me angry. Yeah, that's right, from New York to

New Mexico. Millions around the country are furious, and rightfully so, because women in America just lost control over their own bodies, which I don't care who you are, is a horrifying thing to be faced with. I mean, Rudy Giuliani called the cops because someone touched his without permission. Imagine if someone forced him to give birth, huh, I mean, someone would have to have sex with him first. But you

get the points. You're gonna sell what I'm saying. And after half a century of having that right, it's now being taken away, which is especially crazy when you consider that countries like Mexico and Ireland are moving forward in the opposite direction. You don't realize how weird that is. Right, Ireland has had violent conflicts between Christians and other Christians, and even they are looking at America like don't you think you're taking it a wee bit too far with

the Jesus stuff. It's a little bit too crazy, don't you think so? The Supreme Court is shutting everything down. People are rising up in the streets, and the Democrats, well, they responded in a way that only the Democrats can. Democrats are already looking to November. They have fundraising emails going out in response to this decision. They have a new website up. Speaker Nancy Pelosi looked downcast when she began her press conference. I am personally overwhelmed by this decision.

From time to time, I quote this poem, I had no other country, even though my land is burning. Michigan Congressman Andy Levin tweeted a photo of himself in a yoga pose, saying, quote, in a moment of intense anger, I turn inward. Let us release toxicity. I feel like that's the perfect yoga pose for democratic leadership. Very little action on your head is basically up your own ass, because I don't know if anybody voted for the performanceive aspect.

People just want things done right. No one cares about kentick cloths or singing on the capital steps, and especially not poetry. All right, I feel like any moment now, Chuck Schumer is going to throw on a fake pregnant belly and just take a knee in the capital, be like we are all pregnant now and we're standing check out there. Why do Democrats do this? Why do they do this? Not once have I seen Mr McConnell come out and sing a song about how overwhelmed he is.

He just gets things done. He never comes up like oh no, barder no, or the trouble our shared no, every time he used his power to make a new In fact, that president's counterpoint judges if it's an election year and they're black American black god. In fact, watching the Democrats response and knowing, knowing that they had multiple opportunities to get ahead of this, maybe think maybe voters should change things up, you know, maybe you should do

a new thing in America. Instead of fundraising emails, maybe you should do fund rewarding emails. Right, yeah, make the Democrats show you what they've done and then you donate to their cause instead of then be like, donate, we'll do something, and then they don't. What do they do it? It's the same reason, it's the same reason I don't pay my boba before he does the job. Yeah, he'll get his money after I see what he does with my hairline. I'm not making that mistake again. And now,

please don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying the Democrats are doing nothing in response to this ruling. The Biden administration has said that it would fight any attempt to restrict access to abortion pills regardless of state laws, and they'll protect people who travel out of state to get a legal abortion. Plus, the Senate Judiciary Committee says that they're going to hold a hearing

next month to explore its options. Yeah. Yeah, so they're coming through with both too little and too late, very nice, very nice, the full range, all and and and in case and in case you're wondering what Republican lawmakers think of telling women what they should do with their own bodies, Well, they're celebrating the win of small government over the people. Cheers from anti abortion rights advocates, some celebrating the decision

they've been working towards for decades. Over the weekend, President Trump took a victory lap on his conservative court appointments at a rally with Republican House Member Mary Miller, who made these controversial comments. I want to thank you for the historic victory for why life and the Supreme Court yesterday.

A Utah state legislator is under fire for her remarks defending Utah's new abortion band and my responses, I do trust women in that to control when they allow a man to ejaculate so inside of them and to people that intake of semen. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Did she say women should control the intake of semen? How by by by turning the little chap that's on the top of the penis product turning that. Ah, that's enough. I don't want to get too pregnant. But other women with Trump,

that was even wor us. She literally thanked Trump for saving white life and to be fair, to be fair, she later said that she misspoke and meant to say right to life. But okay, here's the thing. Even if she misspoke, she still just kept on talking without fixing it. It's like she heard herself call it a victory for white life and thought, yeah, that sounds like something I would say. Yeah, let's stick with that. What's even worse

is that the Trump supporters applauded her. Even if we give her the benefit of the doubts, the reaction from the crowd is pretty telling, right, I Mean, it's it's one thing for a person to accidentally rip a fought in an elevator, but it's way worse if everyone else in the elevator goes, oh, yeah, yeah, that's the good stuff that we like that. We like that a lot. So yeah, pro lifers are feeling pretty good right now.

But if you think that Rob being dead it is the end of the story, and you think the right wing is are just going to take their bibles and go home, think again, because they're saying that this is just the beginning. Some and bolden House Republicans want to take this one step further by pushing legislation to ban abortion at fifteen weeks nationwide. We know that former Vice President Mike Patts, who wants to run for president, supports a nationwide ban on abortion. Another big question is over

the abortion pill as it's called. Some states may want to target that medication, and the states that ban abortion, it is illegal to get those bills from a doctor, and some states are trying to go further and also ban receiving the pills by mail from a state where they're legal. Yeah, you see conservative extremists ongoing to stop fighting just because they got roll overturned. They just won

a huge victory. Why would they quit now? When it teams scores a touchdown, they don't just walk off the field congratulating each other, you know, I mean the New York Jets do, But the rest of the teams they keep trying to run up the score. And that's what these people have their site sets. Because first it was no late term abortions, Okay, well it seems reasonable. Then it was no abortion after twenty three weeks, then fifteen weeks,

then six, now zero. What's next, Well, they're just gonna make tiny little handcuffs to have arrest every sperm that didn't fertilize an egg. Is that will be Maybe next time you'll think twice before ending up in a sock instead of a vagina. Huh. And I know, I know many people around the country feel infuriated, depressed, and like

there's no hope, But there is, there really is. First of all, there are many organizations, grassroots organizations on the ground who have already been helping women who couldn't get an abortion because they lived in some of these most extreme states. So you can donate to them where you can volunteer. And as for the Democrats in power, there is something you can actually do. Yeah, yeah, actually wrote wrote you a poem. Roses are red, violets are blue.

The people voted. So how about doing your job in passing loss to quarified contraception, marriage equality and all the other rights of Supreme Court is basically threatened to take away? And so are you. Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and America's most illegal lawyer. You see, he was in a supermarket on Staten Island Sunday campaigning for his son, Andrew Giuliani, who's trying to make history as New York's

first caveman governor. And thankfully, Rudy is now doing okay after just barely surviving a heinous drive by on his upper back. Staten Island grocery store workers facing assault charged is accused of slapping former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani. This surveillance video shows the encounter inside a Shop Right store.

The worker appears to hit Julianni on the back, prompting a reaction from the former mayor in yp has said that this man was a thirty nine year old sesspact to approach Giuliani, slapped him in the back and said, what's up, scumbag. Giuliani refused medical attention at the scene, and the thirty nine year old was taken into custody, with the Vitty recommending charges of second degree assault. Don't you enough? Don't you get off? This? A second degree assault?

That's how tough New York's laws are. Third degree is if you lightly blow on someone's ear, and first degree is if you book them on the nose. Boo, I've been hit. I've been hit. Please at please, don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong. I don't think it is right for anyone to be putting their hands on politicians or anyone for that matter, without their consent. Right, I'm not saying that. But no way in hell is that second degree assault. But I barely tells that's not

second gift, that's assault. Then what I guess Will Smith murdered Chris Rock That's what happened there. And now I'm in the gray and the gray, and and I love how I love how they say Rudy declined medical attention. Medical attention for what? For what? That's the kind of injury we're the only thing you could do is kiss it and make it feel better. That's it. Is it better, Rudy, woe win? Is it better? In fact, if anyone needs

medical attention here, it's the guy who touched Rudy Giuliani. Yeah, dude's hand probably looks like dumbledoors off and he bare handed a hawk cross. And yes, I will admit, I will admit this guy did sound aggressive. But you've got to understand, what's up, scumbag. It's just how people say hello on Staten Island. You know, that's a normal conversation. What's up, scumbag? Nothing much for your mother, all right, well,

not to see your grandma. But to me, to me, the best part of this story is that the more Rudy told it, the more the slaps seemed to hurt. He hit me hard enough to knock me forward about like you know, elderly people die mostly from falls. Disc to the to me, I got hit on the bag as if a boulder hit me. Uh, you knocked me forward, Steppard two. All of a sudden, I feel a shot on my back like somebody shot me. You know that that was That was the woman who was rubbing my back.

The guy hit me so hard that she herself almost fell Trump the reverberation of it. Yeah, that's right. He slapped me so hard my eyeballs fell out and I have to pick them up and put them back. And you all saw that. He slapped me so hard I shipped out the side of my face two years ago. Yeah, that's how hard it loss. You saw it, everybody. I felt that. I felt that. You know, I thought that Rudy was lying about the election being stolen because he was a Trump sickophant. It turns out he just lives

in another world. This is just his brain. And I will say in his defense, in his defense, he was already in a weakened states. You know, you have to acknowledge that he was out during the day in a store that sells garlic. I mean, you know, it was hard for him. It was hard. Let's move on from an attack that Rudy will always remember to one that he always conveniently seems to forget. January six, the day Trump supporters tried to play capture the Flag with Mike

Pence's head. Yesterday, the January six Committee announced that they would be holding a surprise hearing with a surprise witness. And you know, whatever Congress says something like, oh this is a must watch, you're like, that's what they said about Morbius. But let me tell you people, today's hearing was insane. I'm talking like proper insane. So let's catch

up on all the latest January six updates. So it turns out the supper as witness today was Cassidy Hutchinson, a top eight to Donald Trump's chief of staff, which means she was often in the room where it happened. The room where it happens it was overthrowing democracy. Now, Hutchinson had a lot of firsthand knowledge of what Trump was doing from the moment that he lost the election

all the way through January six. And one of the stories she told was how Trump lost his ship when he found out his attorney general wasn't going along with his lies about the election. I remember hearing noise coming from down the hallway. I left the office and went down to the dining room, and I noticed that the door has cropped open, and the valet was inside the dining room, changing the tablecloth off of the dining room table.

He motioned for me to come in and then pointed towards the front of the room, near the fireplace mantel and the TV, where I first noticed there is catch up dripping down the wall and there's a shattered porcelain play on the floor. The valet had articulated that the President was extremely angry at the Attorney General's ap interview and had thrown his lunch against the wall. And Miss Hutchinson, was this the only instance that you are aware of

where the president through dishes? It's not. And are there other instances in the dining room that you recall where he expressed his anger? There were. There were several times throughout my tenure with the Chief of a Sock that I was aware of him either throwing dishes or flipping the tablecloth um to let all the contents at the

table go onto the floor. Yeah. I know, I too, are shocked to he had that Trump threw any of his food away, because I mean, let's be honest, this guy has taken more selfies with food than he has with some of his kids. Right for me, the reason Eric dresses up as a hot dog just to get a hug. Do you love me, now, Dad? Do you love me? You're the and I always wanted Oscar Meyer always wanted. And you heard what she said. This wasn't a one time thing. Trump was constantly throwing food tantrums.

But what's interesting is she didn't say flipping the table. She said flipping the table cloth. So either Trump was an amateur magician. Oh, he wasn't strong enough to flip a table, so he just did the table clothey said. He was like, ah, And you know, if this happened regularly, it must have sucked for all the people who work in the White House. You know, all the staff who have to clean up after him, the people who made the food and the dishes. Can you imagine how traumatizing

this must have been for the dishes? Everybody wilcome to the White House be our Yes, yeah, you just killing me. Flogs. Don't look now your mother? Hundred pieces kiss mother. Oh my god, this man is with them, said bees. We should look back. He didn't quite to have sex with

the dusta. How long I'm straight to DVD now. It turns out it turns out that wasn't the only Trump tantrum that Hutchinson testified about because she also said that on January six, as the Trump mob was marching towards the capital, Trump wanted to lead them to the capital himself, right, But when Secret Service agent Bobby Angle refused the President's request for safety this happened. The President said something to

the effect of I'm the fving President. Take me up to the capital now, to which Bobby responded, sir, we have to go back to the west wing. The President reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. Mr Angle grabbed his arm said sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. We're going back to the west wing. We're not going

to the capital. Mr Trump then used his free hand to lunch towards Bobby Angle, and when Mr Ronado had recounted this story to me, he had motioned towards his classicals. God damn, that is insane. Trump fighting to take control of the President's car like he's a bad guy in an action movie, only he's the presidents and this is real life. I mean, you gotta admit, though, fighting your own secret serviceation is kind of genius. On Trump's pot right,

because he's hitting the one person who caught hit back. Yeah, I mean they can punch back, but then they've got to jump in front of their own punch, you know, just like take that, Oh did you feel that one, rudy, because you know, you know, this whole thing shows you how lazy Trump is. The capital it's like two miles away. Everyone else walked there, but Trump was like, Okay, I could walk there. I could walk or I could try steal a car from the Secret Service. Which one is it?

And not to victim blame, but but this is on the Secret Service, right. You had four years to Trump proof that vehicle. You knew who you were dealing with. This should have been a toy steering wheel in the passenger seat the whole time. Just let him think he's driving and go back, go back to the West wing. Anyways, and you know, beyond Trump, this story just proves once and for all that's sitting in the back seat is always a position of weakness. It doesn't matter what the

real power dynamics are. No one in the back seat gets their way because I mean he's lunging at them like I'm the president, and they're like you're in the back seat. Bit shut up. He's like, la, well, I'm gonna put my window down. So there were many funny and disturbing moments in today's testimony, but the most damning part of today was when Hutchinson revealed that when President Trump was told that some of the mob had weapons, he instructed security to take down metal detectives and let

the mob in. I was in the vicinity of a conversation where I overheard the President say something to the effect of, you know, I don't even care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me. Take that thing bags away. Let my people in. They can march the capital from here. Let the people in take the acting bags away. Yeah. Apparently Trump wanted the metal detectives removed so that his supporters with guns could march to the Capitol. Yeah. So I guess he didn't necessarily want

to hang my pens. He wanted to also give him the option of the firing squad, So he's pro choice. This is good to know. It's good to know. It has now been four months since Vladimir Putin sent his troops on the shittiest road trip ever, and not only has he failed to quickly overwhelm Ukraine. He's managed to

unite the rest of Europe against him. A landmark announcement today, NATO formally invited Sweden and Finland to join the alliance, and President Biden announced that the US will strengthen its military posture in Europe. NATO's thirty member countries are poised to add two more. The move will more than double the length of NATO's border with Russia. And I'm pleased to announce that we now have an agreement. Sweden and

Finland applied for NATO membership last month. Puton's decision to invade one neighbor had them worried he might be willing to attack another. After two hundred years of military and non alignment, Sweden has chosen a new path. Wow, this is huge. Sweden is joining NATO. You understand, they've been a neutral country for two hundred years. Two hundred years even when the World Wars were happening. They were sitting on the side like, well, that's none of miapesiness. But

today they are ending their neutrality. This is so wild. This is like the moment in a kung fu movie where the monk drops his broomstick and it's like I'm taking a new vow to whip some ass. And surely at this point, even letting me a putent can admit that this invasion has been an abject failure, right because you realized the whole reason he gave for invading Ukraine was to stop the expansion of NATO, and now his

war has caused the expansion of ATO. You don't, Oh, it's sort of like it's sort of like those um, those Dare anti drug programs, Remember those they trying to scare kids away from drugs by sending cops into schools who are like, gather around, let me teach you about drugs, And then twelve ye old kids were like, okay, crack sounds is fun. Crack guys. Now, look, it is a big deal. It is a big deal that Sweden and

Finland are joining NATO. But I'll be honest, I don't know if it's gonna scare Russia into retreats, because, let's be honest, these people on exactly the vikings they used to be. You know. Yeah, back in the day they would pillage your village and have sex with you on showtime, you know, but these days they're not exactly military superpowers. I mean their fighter jets are probably made by Ikea. You know, yeah, they look great, but you don't want

to sit on them. Actually, you know what, maybe maybe that's what they should do. Yeah, they should use their Ikea powers to help win the war in Ukraine. That's what they said. They said they should try and distruct the troops with meat balls, just been like would you like some would you like something? Or they should put those stickers on the floor all over Ukraine. Yeah, because that way the Russian troops will never get where they're going.

Where's Cliff? I keep ending up in the kitchen section? God dear me, Yain Lucky and Boris again. But let's move on from the war in Europe to the war that America is waging on women's bodies. Ever since the Supreme Court decided that having a child is a sacred choice between a woman and her state legislature, abortion laws have been chaos because you see, some states banned abortion, some states are protecting abortion, and other states banned abortion,

but then their courts unbanned those bands. So abortion is legal again until they reban it, which means right now, women's reproductive rights are as unpredictable as the mac rib It's here, it's gone, It's yeah, it's gone, it's back again, it's gone. And it turns out the overturning of Ruvie Wade has been such an earthquake that it sent shock waves through the rest of the world. In fact, France and Israel saw what happened in America and decided to

strengthen their abortion rights in their countries. Imagine that. Just imagine that. And I don't know, I don't know if you remember this, but that's what Canada did with guns, right, they saw the two mass shootings in America and they took away. Canadian done so, I guess in a wave. In a way, America still is a world leader, you know. Yeah, America does something and that leads the world in the

opposite direction. Yeah. At this point in America is almost like the dumb kid in class that you reversed cheats off of, you know, it's just like he circled. See. So it's definitely not c But the big question in the States is if abortion is illegal, how are the States going to enforce that? While it turns out they might have a snitch in your pockets in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, many women are now deleting their period tracking apps now.

Privacy experts are concerned that data from apps like Flow and Clue could potentially be used to identify someone that's seeking an abortion. The data on your phone in apps, search data, and other digital data is not necessarily protected by hippop. I think it's important that people realize there have been past court cases where online searches for abortion pills or abortion services have been used to prosecute women.

That's right. If prosecutors are aggressive enough, they could use your apps or your search history on your phone to prove that you had an abortion, which, first of all, is a very unhealthy practice in a relationship. You don't search through anyone's phone, Okay, it destroys trust. Don't do it. And also what a ship world for women to be

living in. Think about like you need to use your phone for everything, especially period tracking, or where you're gonna find an abortionally, like, how are you going to search for abortion pills without Google? Or you're just gonna have to write a question on a piece of paper, throw it out the window, and hope for the best. But that's where that's where we are in America right now. Women taking care of their own health have to cover

their tracks online like they're planning a heist. They've got to disable location services, they have to talk to each other through encrypted apps. They have to kill the dual lingo out before it snitches on them in English and Italian. And you know, you know, this puts into perspective just how much our phones know about all of us, right only when they say the government's going to use the

things on your phone to come after you. Because your phones know where you go, you know who you with, what we eat, what we buy, which actor we can't remember from that movie whose name we forgot. It means at any moment, cops could just bust down your door like bam, you run your rest And by the way, it's Richard Gear. Yeah that was there. That's why whenever I use apps or anything online, I try to throw the authorities off. Yeah, whenever I'm doing something shady, I

never search where do I find weed? No? I search where does Mitch McConnell find where? Yeah? Now, now the cops are looking for Mitch McConnell, and I've got the munchies. All right, let's talk about some vacation, that special time of year where you don't get laid in a different city. The US travel industry is expecting record numbers this weekend as the summer season kicks off, with some forty two

million people driving to their vacation spots. So if you have to pee, go now, because we are not stopping, I believe it or not. As chaotic as it's going to be on the roads, it turns out it could be even worse in the sky. Hundred of flights canceled across the US today, more than a thousand flights canceled over the weekend. The summer travel season is heating up, and so is frustration for thousands of Americans this week

their summer getaways, landing them in an airport armageddon. More than two thousand flights acts just since yesterday, Travel app Hopper reports more than a quarter of recent flights have been delayed, fueled by industry staffing shortages, soaring demand, and severe weather. The chaos comes just as airports brace for another flood of travelers July fourth weekend and anticipated eleven million to pass through airports over the holiday. Despite the

soaring cost of travel. Envoy Air, a regional carrier owned by American Airlines, is now offering pilots triple pay to work on their days off, saying it's part of a proactive strategy to run a reliable schedule during the peak summer travel season. Industry experts say, big picture, the airlines just weren't ready for this kind of demand coming out

of the pandemic. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Hold on? Did they say airlines didn't expect that there would be a surge in air travel after the entire planet was trapped in our bedrooms for two years straight? Speaking to our grand models through a hazmat suit. You didn't expect that ship? What is it like? Why? Why isn't that airlines are always shocked by things that should be easily predictable. If

you're shocked, Oh, shocked off? Who would have thought people want to travel after they couldn't for a long time? Oh guys, it turns out that that by booking too many people for the flight, there are now too many people for this flight. There is no way to know that this could have happened. Who could have seen this coming? Of course, people want to travel even cooped up for years. In fact, I'll bet you half the people at January six were just there for a change of scenery. You know.

I was like, I don't really want to hang Mike pants, but it's better than staying home in Idaho. And you gotta admit, all the TV during the pandemic made it worse. I mean, we watched all those cool shows where people are having fun in Fiji, you know, or in Paris or in South Korea. It made everything look so cool. I want to play red Light Green Lights. So of course people are traveling in record numbers. You know, you realize we don't even care that flying has gotten worse

and worse. Everyone wants to travel. Everything's gotten worse about flying. Everything is delayed, legroom is shrinking, Your bags are always on another flight going somewhere else. But we don't have a choice, right airlines have got us. Man, as soon the airlines are going to be like, all right, we've replaced all the seats with just a spike that goes up your butt. What are we gonna do, which is gonna be like, well, loop it up? Because I'm going

to disney Land. I'm gold. I will say I am happy that Cavin Cruise and pilots are getting paid more because of this. Yeah, because they said that pie that's are getting paid triple their normal salary just to come to work, which is great for them. Yeah, although I will say I'm a little worried that the airlines being so desperate might make the pilots a little cocky. Ah,

what's going on? Bitches of speaking and just half y Today I'm bawling out of control feats forever the hell I want to go, because what are you gonna do about it? Find another pilot? Good luck with that, there are none. I can do whatever I want. In fact, here and check this ship out. I was fun by the way, fast your seat belts, because I should have said that first. Right, Well, whatever in flight? Where's my co pilot? I gotta pay? There's no one here? Okay,

I guess I'll just do it right here. Ah, can't believe be cheered for that pilot. What an asshole? Oh? Speaking of people getting paid more, all across the United States, workers are unionizing to fight for better rights, right. Yeah, this is happening everywhere, from Amazon to stop Bucks, even Apple, and now the movement is gaining so much steam it's even stretching back in time. Medieval Times workers in New Jersey will vote next month on forming the company's first union.

The group pushing for a safer and more enjoyable workplace, siding safety concerns. They claimed guests can be disruptive, make loud noises and startled the horses, who will then throw the cast members off their backs. Unruly children and drunken adults have been known to grab actors and even reach out to touch the falcon as it flies overhead. Workers say Medieval Times skims on security to save money, leaving

performers to enforce boundaries and police the crowd. Wow, do you know how wild the crowd has to be to mess with people in armor carrying swords. I mean, I knew white people get drunk, but this is a whole other level. This is I want to fight that horse, bro. You know what they need to do, Actually, they need to make a new policy that if you course ship at Medieval Times, you get a medieval punishment. Yeah. Yeah, forget getting escort to the parking lot. You're making people's

jobs of misery. You're going down to the dungeon where group of like play greats are gonna eat your dick off. That's what they should do. You're in medieval times. Because here's the thing. You're never going to stop people from getting rowdy at medieval times. It's never gonna happen. Those people are just trying to act like they're in medieval times. That's why they're trying to grab the falcon. People in the year even they were definitely getting drunk and messing

with birds. That was one of the only hobbies back then. All right, you could drink meat and throw ship at a falcon, or you could die in the street. Those are the main activities. What are you doing next weekend? I'm dying. Oh no, no no, I'm gonna catch a falcon. So I'm glad. I'm glad these workers are trying to unionize. First of all, I love medieval times. You know where else can you get a glimpse of what America is gonna look like when the Supreme Court is done? But

also also these people deserve protections. I mean, these are serious performers. Have you seen them in character? They never break never break character. Almost Maybe wonder if like they stay in character during the union negotiations. You know, we're here by demandeth that our healthcare plan common Nature's also our wenches and halls want maternity leave. Oh, I'm sorry, Kimberly and Amber. Kimberly and Amber one maternity. I'm sorry, I got carried away. I got carried away. You know whatever.

Whatever I see medieval times, I always wonder if years from now they're gonna have a themed restaurant where people come to watch actors pretend they're in the twenty twenties, because we're in the old times of then. You know, is there someone who's gonna stand in the middle, like, welcome to millennial times? Watch does this man of legend binges Netflix while also scrolling on his phone a the Supreme Court, America's got talent but for laws and stuff.

From the moment Amy Coney Barrett was sworn in, it was only a matter of time before the Supreme Court started restoring America back to its factory settings. And in the last few weeks they decided that church and states should get a little cozier. They decided that America's real gun problem is that they aren't enough of them, and they decided that coaches are state property. And today, as they were closing out their term. They decided this the big news out of the Supreme Corps. The High Court

just handing down their final two decisions of this historic term. First, a major environmental case, the Court deciding sick to three in favor of sharply curving the e PAS authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. This is a big setback for the Biden administration for its efforts to restrict global warming. Wait, wait what? The Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency does not have the authority to protect the environment.

So what is their job now? It's gonna look at the environments and be like, oh, ship, all right, that was a good dead work. You guys want to get some drinks. And by the way, I don't know if if it's the same for you. It's always weird to me how the news in America frames some of these stories. You know, like, this is a defeat for the Biden administration. It is a defeat for human life. I'm not gonna do a Biden. Do you realize if we don't get

under control, climate change is gonna wipe us off the planet? Right? And still these news anchors are gonna be underwater, Like Will Will always in c levels, hurt the Democrats or help the Republicans in the mental loans. And by the way, by the way, just so you understand, this ruling might not just be about the carbon emissions. A lot of experts believe the logic of today's ruling makes it harder for the government to regulate anything unless Congress specifically passes

a law to do it. Because you see, right now, a lot of regulations are made by agencies like like the f d A they will handle like food, you know, the CDC with public health, the b RB with ignoring text messages, and and I know these agencies aren't perfect, don't get me wrong, but could you imagine if Congress had to approve like vaccines. Imagine if you had to

wait for them, it would have never happened. Which still will be locked in our houses clapping out of our windows because Congress couldn't convince Marjorie Taylor Green that needles weren't actually a space alien conspiracy, Then where did they come from? The one thing that's clear is that from environmental regulations to abortion, to guns, to school prayer, to vote to rights, this is one of the most radical Supreme courts in American history. And by the way, people

agree on that from across the political spectrum. You know, Rachel Matto was like, this is so radical, and Sean Hannity is like, this is a radical And they're also imposing their power on a country that for most part, for the most part, isn't on board with any of it, right, which is why many liberals are now calling for some major reforms, like adding more seats to the court, or imposing term limits, or setting up a trap for brit Kavanaugh. Do you never know or my work, But let's move on.

Let's move on from the people handing down the judgments to the people receiving them. This week we saw two major sex trafficking cases come to an end. One was with R. Kelly, R and B Legend and guy we wished had stayed trapped in a closet, and the other was Gillane Maxwell, Windowless Van and Human Form. And the good news is the good news is they're gonna have a long time to think about what they've done. Grammy winning singer and songwriter R. Kelly has been sentenced to

thirty years in prison for racketeering and sex trafficking. Kelly was convicted of winning a criminal enterprise that recruited women and young girls for sex. Twenty years behind bars for convicted sex trafficker Delaine Maxwell. The sixty year old was found guilty of conspiring with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse and traffic young girls. Yeah,

that's right. R Kelly is getting thirty years in prison and Gilaane Maxwell is getting twenty And once again we see that women only earning two thirds of what men get. Shame on you, America, Shame on you. She did all that work and Jeffrey Epstein, a man, still got all the credits. Not to mention, she gets sentences for twenty years, but Jeffrey Epstein, he was in prison for what a

few weeks? Huh and then Hilary them out. Uh. You know what's crazy about this What's crazy about this thing is how everyone has a conspiracy theory about Jeffrey Epstein. Who's gonna come from Gilaine Maxwell? Everyone? But what I've noticed is it depends on what people's politics. Is a right some of people, it's gonna be Donald Trump, It's gonna be Hillary That I'll kill it. It's gonna be the Royal family Illuminati. You're not just thinking wouldn't it

be funny if everyone was right? Like what if all these powerful people were involved and then like they will bump into each other on the way to Glene Maxwell's South. You know, if there's a get thing, it's like, oh my god, crookt Hillary, what are you doing here? Where are you? Also so embarrassing? I was gonna in the queen as well, what are you doing? It's an honor? She's like, Oh, I'm just here to protect my embarrassing son. You know what that's like? Donald Eric is not my son.

He's not my son. Do don't say that? As yting so so sentence R Kelly sentence, And I'll tell you what. Whichever prison r Kelly is going to is getting a major upgrade. Say what you want. That dude is going to dominate the prison talent show. Yeah, I'm sorry the guy who won last year. Nobody gives a shit about your juggling act. Now. In fact, whichever prison Arkelly goes to, they've got to jack up the security because once R Kelly sings, I don't care how much you hate him,

nobody can stop. No one can stop themselves from dancing. Hey, let's start singing step in the name of love, and the gods are gonna be like steph, steph. Somebody stopping round and round. No stop can bring it back. Let me, nobody can stop by the way. I wish they would have given us that song and taken Arkelly with it like the song and so good ship just said the song. The song did nothing. You could have adopted the song

like a child. I'll look after this song. But anyway, Yeah, justice has been served, and let this be a lesson to other prominent sex traffickers. The law will catch up with you after letting you totally get away with it for like twenty five years. You watch out, You watch out? Doesn't matter as Kelly Delaine Maxwell which Jeffrey Epstein, Prince

and speaking of the Royal family this week. This week we found out that Prince Charles, the Queen's slightly less embarrassing son, has a very unusual way of funding his charities. Royal sources say tonight the Prince Charles will no longer personally handle large cash donations for his charities. The Prince came under fire over reports he'd been handed a cash donation totaling three million euros, some of it stuffed into a suitcase from a former Quatari prime minister several years ago.

Clarence House, which is where Prince Charles lives, says the money was all charitable donations. Clarence House says it followed the correct processes regarding those donations. Royal officials say they dispute many of the details in that report. Yeah, so, in case you're a little bit lost, It turns out after an investigation they found that Prince Charles had received suitcases full of cash from a Qatari right, and he

was like, this is for my charity. And now says I realized this was wrong and I will now no longer do it. But I love how they say Prince Charles will no longer accept suitcases full of cash, Like he just realized this was a shady thing to do. He's like, all right, all right, no cash in a suitcase from now on. It's just bags of cocaine. Okay, come on, I can't do anything. Come on, come on, how do you gonna act like this is the first time you figured that, Like, I don't care what it's for.

Suitcase full of cash it's always shady. If your grandmother gives you five dollars for your birthday, but she slips it to you in a suitcase, your grandmother's up to some ship because they say this was for Prince Charles's charity. Only question is what kind of charity is it that needs to be paid in all cash? Huh? What has it got its headquarters in a strip club? It's like this money will do lots of help against poverty. In fact,

here comes poverty right now here, you go poverty. Shake that out, shake it, shake it, poverty check And you know, if this is one of those things that shows you the difference between normal people and really powerful people, all right, it doesn't matter if it's Prince Charles or American politicians, African presidents. Right, they just get to say, we made an error in judgment and so we're going to use this money to spend some time in central pay thinking

about where we've done. We're so sorry. But as a regular person, if the government finds you with the suitcase full of cash from anywhere anywhere, don't apologize. It probably gonna end up with the front row seat to one of those Art Kelly prison concerts. That's where your group this hide step. Don't play around. Okay, finally, let's move on. Let's move on to a good story about people getting

tons of money. Now, many people may or may not know this, but there was a time in America where black people have their rights and property taken away from them. And it was a period known as all of human history. And that may seem as a shock for many of you to hear, especially if you go to school in Florida, but it is true, and unfortunately, most black people who lost their land have had no way to find justice, but often only one hundred years. One family in Manhattan Beach, California,

is finally getting a little of what they deserve. Prime southern California beach front property is being returned towards rightful and original owner. Is more than a hundred years after officials actually took this land from a black family. L A County leaders voted to give it back to the descendants the property was originally bought in nineteen twelve. The original owners turned it into a resort for black family

since they were barred from many of the beaches. White neighbors and targeted that property with racist threats and harassment. The city eventually sees the property n claiming eminent domain. Well, now the county is going to lease the land back to the current errors and then give them the option to sell it for themselves down the road. The Bruce family originally bought that land for just over Now it's worth about twenty million. Yeah, that's right. That is amazing.

That is amazing. Long time coming through, the government is giving these people back their land. Although that's just proof that climate change is real. Yeah, all of a sudden, the government is like, you know what, the ocean for property can go back to the black people. Here, take it, take it, take it, take it. You're like, why, don't worry, don't worry. Take you No, no, no, but for real, for real, this is great news. It's great news for

that family, great use for justice. And it's especially exciting because now there's a black beach. Yeah, because I've seen white beaches they've got people surfing, playing volleyball, bathing, you know, but this is gonna be a black beach. And you know what that's gonna be, Like, it's gonna have people surfing, playing volleyball Sunday. What did you think I was gonna say?

H because it's gonna be different cause of that. You rightist, everyone of you even thought something you ratis, well, you got a black people's gonna have drive bys and people yelling at the movie screen, and you can't yourself. I like to relay racism traps just to see who comes out anyway. This's the thing. That's the thing people don't seem to realize, right with the story. The property is now worth twenty million dollars, right was bought for twelve

dred back in the nineteen twenties. And that's what people don't get is how Black Americans have been held back. Right. People always say, People always say, oh, come on, can't we move on in this country? That was a long time ago, Yeah, exactly, And in that time Black Americans could have built wealth. That's the time you see the all over America, all over the United States, you see this.

I mean, look at New York. People are living in brownstones that are worth twenty million dollars because they're great grandparents bought it for like three chickens. That's money now, right, you can use that as leverage, you can get student loans, you can buy other things. That's money. And it shows you how powerful generational wealth is. If it's taken away from you, it can cripple your family forever. It's like how anything that happened generations ago can still affect you today.

Like if your great grandfather spent like your entire family savings and then bought Coca Cola stock back in ninety, you set for life. But if your great grandfather bought our c Cola stock back in the nineteen twenties, well that's probably why you're working two jobs, you know. And it's like, we talk so much about systemic problems, but generational wealth is a systemic solution, so people don't see

you want this to happen. You want society. You want society to give every want a chance to build on generations of success so that eventually families of all races can come together to avoid paying a stay text together. It's powerful inspiration. If you are someone you know needs help accessing abortion care, please go to abortion find a dot Org or call the National Abortion Heartline at the
