Speaker 1

You're listening to Comedy Central. Big tech news. Mark Zuckerberg has just revealed that from now on, people will have legs in the metaverse. Yeah, and I, for one, I'm truly excited for what this means, because first you get legs, then you will get feet. Pretty soon you'll be able to walk out of the metaverse and go literally anywhere else. In climate news, New Zealand has just announced a plan to fight methane emissions by taxing cows for their burbs.

And this is how much billionaires are winning in the world. Even cows are getting taxed before them. And by the way, even if you support this general idea to try and slow climate change, you have to admit if you were a cow, you'd be pretty pissed about this. Ah, hold on, hold on, it's still my milk might be spent. My whole wife on death row. And now you you turn nipple. Bitches are gonna text me for bupping? Are you all

driving a lecture cars? No? Are you're using solid panels? Now? No, you're still feeling private hits but I get text Okay, well how about this, bitches take that new pitches hows New Zealand cars are angry. All right, and in sports news, after it came out that NBA star Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors punched his teammate in the face during practice, Green has announced that he will be taking some time off, which is a great reminder for everyone.

Do not punch your coworkers unless you want some extra vacation time. All right, let's move on to some of the bigger stories of the day, which for some reason, all involved racism. Yeah. I don't know if you guys have ever heard of racism, but it's a pretty hot thing these days. And by these days, I mean the last like thousand years now. For some reason, for some reason,

it seemed like everyone was extra racist this weekend. I don't know, maybe because it's like a three day weekend, you know, people had a little more time to kick back and work on their racism. Whatever it was, it almost seemed like people were competing to see who could be the most racist. So let's dive in to all the competition for a segment we call the Amazing Racism. I have a first story involving racism. Hails from the

Great States of Alabama. I know, I'm shocked to what makes this racism special is that it's from a senator, one of the best people in America, and he said out loud on TV. Senator Tommy tubber Villa Alabama is facing a significant backlash from major civil rights groups for comments he made at a Trump rally over the weekend sta Timberville calling out Democrats as being pro crime. He also suggested that people who want reparations for ancestral slavery

aren't to blame for the crime. The Democratic Party, they have majority, they could stop this crime today. They won't crime. They won't crime because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have. They want reparation because they think the people that do the crime are old debt. Bullshit. They're not old debt. Yeah, you tell them time me. That thing you just made up right now, My reparations is bullshit. We can't have

that freakning happening. I gotta say people, I've heard racists say all kinds of things. I've heard them say that black people are criminals, and I've heard them say that reparations are reverse racism. But it takes a true racism

innovator to combine both ideas at the same time. Yeah, this is like the stuffed crust pizza of racism, because I knew you could have crust, and I knew that you could have cheese, but I know you can put the cheese inside the crust that's holding the rest of the cheese, because now the crust is holding the cheese at the same time that this chee. It is now. Now if you are confused, if you're confused by what

this man is saying, congratulations, it means you're saying. But his point is that democrats want black people to do crime because that's basically reparations which the Democrats believe they deserve. And there were just two things I can think of off the top of my head. Off the top of my head. One, how does this argument explain black people who steal things from other black people? Because then who's reparating who? And secondly, how is this man going to

stand on stage and imply that all criminals are black? Huh? That is disgusting. Has the senator never watched Netflix? Uh? I'm not gonna stand here and let Tommy Chapperville erase all these white people's contributions. This is the real rights that might to make it seems like white people come through crimes. I'll tell you, white people do crime just like anybody. These guys gonna make it seems like all my white friends in here, you can do the crime.

You hear me. You don't listen to these people say you can't. You can't do you do the crime. Look, you know what, while this is upsetting, you have to it's not exactly surprising. I mean, he's an Alabama conservative named Tommy Tubbleville. This is not. What would be surprising is if he got up on stage and he was like, I'd like to open today with my favorite passage from

James bald When y'all. So that's our first story, and I hope you warmed up because this next one is a little more unexpected and it takes place in liberal l A. In Los Angeles, the big political issue right now is a blockbuster tape recording that could force three

city councilors to resign. Nurie Martinez, a rising star in l A politics, potentially faces the care rear in ruins, the first Latina chosen to lead the Los Angeles City Council, caught on tape making racist and defensive comments during a redistrict in meeting with three Latino Democrats. At one point, Martinez talks about the black child of Mike Bonnet, a white council member, in Spanish, calling the boy a little monkey. White guy with a little black kid who's miss behaved

the jids, bosting off the wall over. There's nothing you can do to control him. Don't like a little white kid, which I was like, this kid a bet down. Let me let me take him around the corner and then I'll bring him back. Whoa boy? Yeah, And Latina Democrats called the black son of a white colleague a little monkey was bouncing all around the walls. I'm sorry, bouncing all around the effing walls. Yeah, thank you for censoring yourself. Uh, I appreciate it. That was weird. I mean, I'm not

sure she sensored herself in the right place. That was weird of her to black cansting off the Fina was like a little monkey. You know, I think he would have a sense of the racism and just say I think that would be better. But to each their own. I guess I'm just crazy that way. You know. Also, like, do you know how racist you have to be to see a kid misbehaving and your first instinct is to use a racial slur against him. It's a little kid,

all right. We all see kids of every race throw a tantrum or misbehave, and I'm I'm not trying to brag, but personally I hate all kids equally. Yes, it's not it's not the color of their skin that makes them annoying, it's the content of their shitty character. What's especially wild about the story as well, is that, in the same conversation she basically implies that because the kid is black, not white, he should be beaten so that he behaves.

And I'm sorry, people, if you believe that black kids deserve to be beaten, you have no place being on the l A City Council. You clearly belong in the l A p D. But before we run out of time, there is one story that has the whole world talking. I'm referring, of course, to Kanye West, rapper, entrepreneur, and the guy who proved that not even black people can

make the MAGA hat cool. Kanye has been drifting more and much of the right lately, from wearing a White Lives Matter shirt, sitting down for an interview with Tucker Caulson. But over the weekend, Kanye drifted right off the deep end. Yea formerly known as Kanye West, is now blocked from using Instagram and Twitter because of racist and anti semitic messages that he posted on Friday. Instagram was the first site to lock his account after Kanye posted text messages

between himself and the rapper Sean Diddy Combs. In those messages, he accused Diddy of being controlled by Jewish people. After did he criticized the shirt Kanye was photographed wearing that red White Lives Matter. Then on Sunday, Kanye posted a series of tweets, once again targeting Jewish people. You in the phrase deaf con three. The rap start lashing out, tweeting, I'm a bit sleepy tonight, but when I wake up,

I am going death con three un Jewish people. The funny thing is, I actually can't be anti semitic because black people are actually do Also, you guys have toyed with me and tried to blackball anyone whoever opposes your agenda. Oh no, Kanye, You're gonna do it again. You're gonna do it again. I don't even know where to begin

with this ship. I mean promoting anti Semitism to your fifty million followers, not even joking about it, threatening to go deaf Con three on Jewish people, which, by the way, I know this is not the point, but that's not how you say it's I know it's not the main issue here. I know that, but it's deaf Con three, alright, not deaf Con three. Deaf Con sounds like like a trade show where they unveil all the latest coffins or something, because like, our newest model comes with Bluetooth. Now you

can check on to make sure Nana still there. Just usually app deaf card. Not to mention, the deaf Con scale goes from one to five, so def Con three is like in the middle. If you're trying to tell people how hard you're gonna go, that's just a weird way to do it. You know, I'm about to open up a can of whip bass, but I'm gonna put half of it in some type of war for later. You can warn I don't want to use all my

whip bass. At the same time. Also, it's funny that he starts his threat with I'm a bit sleepy tonight. What is that does anti semits doesn't make you tired? Is that why mega people love the my pillow guy? Is that what this is? But I will say that I feel bad for American right wingers, you know, because they're getting Kanye Now. I think if they missed college dropouts, my beautiful dog twisted fantasy graduation, you know, they missed all.

They're getting this Kanye. It's like getting to date the high school prom king, but decades off the high school. Yeah, it's you remember Chad from high school. Well, he's got uncontrollable flatulence. Now yeah, they might even tax him in New Zealand. So those are the contenders in this week's Amazing racism. You've got a black guy hating on Jews, a white guy hating on black people, and a Hispanic woman hating on a white guy for how he raises

his black kid. You've got like every combination of racism in there. And you could find that depressing. You could, and I would understand why. But I myself choose to see this. I choose to see all these things as the glass half full. You know, if everyone is being racist against everyone else, then that means that no matter what kind of we are, racism is at least one thing that we all have in common. And what a

beautiful thought that is. Tom Cruise is planning to shoot scenes for a new movie from the International Space Station, which good for him. He's finally getting to work a little bit closer to his home planet. This is nice, This is It's all about that work life balance. But seriously, people, Tom Cruise days winning, right, It's one of the greatest movie stars and stuntman is doing things that no one has ever done before, just success after success. So maybe

scientology is right. I don't know. I'm just putting it out there. I'm just putting it out there. Another space news. Remember how NASA slammed a spaceship into an asteroid to test whether they could change its course. Well, yesterday they officially announced that it was a success. Yeah. Yeah, the asteroid wasn't actually headed to Earth and they hit it and now it is so could work. Everyone, Yeah, you

just kept for us dying. I'm I'm not really sure this is all necessary though, like to like send like a vessel up to hit the asteroid, spend all that money, If we are honest, one immigrant mother could have done the same thing just by holding up a slipper. That's all she needed to do, just be like, come to earth and see what happ Come to earth and see

what happens. Yeah, that's right. Turn around, turned that turn that turn that after a round in in sports news, NFL star Davante Adams of the Raiders has now been charged with misdemeanor assault for shoving a sideline photographer on Monday. Luckily, the photographer was attended to by NFL doctor, so he'll be fine. I mean he died, but the doctors still hit into play. Next Sunday, they said the game must

go on. All right, Let's move on to some of the biggest stories of the day, starting off with a major story about the gig economy. You know, the gig economy, the reason you're tend to date had to make a stop to deliver shape shack. Well. Over the past decade, more and more people have been making a living at jobs where the companies they work for are technically not their employers. But now America's most famous employee might be changing that or at a potential game changer for millions

of gig workers. The Biden administration proposing a new rule that would reclassify millions of them as company employees. The new rule who could have wide ranging impact on profits at Uber, Lift, Door, Dash and other companies that rely on contractors. With that employee label, workers would be eligible for protections like a minimum morali wage, overtime pay, jobless benefits, and workers come. Wow, If Biden gets this done, it's

going to shake up the world of apps completely. Because you realize right now the reason delivery and car apps can take in billions of dollars is partly because they don't technically have employees, which is great for them. It's the same way some people on technically in a relationship, but they still get all the benefits. Yeah, they get the sleepovers, but then they don't have to take care of you when you're sick. You know, it's just like, oh,

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I guess I'll see you when you're ready to smash bidy. What what Biden is suggesting is that these companies have to give their work as the benefits that employees would get. And I know that you'll agree with me. No one deserves it more than them, right because these people are hard workers. They're driving everywhere, they're biking there delivering their taste, testing our food before it gets to us. This is hard work. So this is a big step for a lot of

people in the gig economy. But don't forget there are drawbacks to being considered an employee. Yeah, like, for instance, people singing you happy birthday at work. Yeah, you'll love it initially, but once they start on the how old are you now, how you'll be like, I have a health care but head word cost. All right, let's move on to some news about the midterms. The reason your inbox is now full of emails with the subject line

send me four dollars or all guilties. Alf Let's catch up on some of the tightest races in our ongoing coverage of Vote Demico. Right now, any single Senate race in America could determine which party could take control of the Senate, giving them the power to get nothing done for the next two years. And few races are closer right now than the one in Pennsylvania. On the Republican side, you have doctor Oz, famous TV doctor and proof that

even Oprah makes mistakes. And on the Democratic side you have John Fetterman, former lieutenant governor, and dude who's just going off in the marsh pits. This race has hinged on a number of issues like crime, abortion, and the fact that doctor Oz has only lived in Pennsylvania for less than two years, which is that even a real Pennsylvanian. Has this dude even been in a fist fight in a wah wah parking lot yet? But now another question has begun to take sense of stage in the race,

John Fetterman's health. Back in May, Fetterman suffered a stroke, and even though he's been back on the campaign trail, he still hasn't fully recovered. And now his first major interview since the stroke has everyone talking. Can voter stress that you will be able to do this job on day one? Yeah? Of course. This is Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman's first in person sit down interview since a stroke sideline him from the campaign trail for months.

That auditory processing where I'll hear someone speaking but sometimes will be will be precise and what exactly that they're saying. I use captioning. His campaign required that he'd be allowed to use a transcription program on his computer during our interview. I always thought I was pretty empathetic, Uh, emphatic I think I was very excuse me, empathetic. Uh. You know,

that's an example of the stroke empathetic. I always thought it was very empathetic before having a stroke, but now after having that stroke, I really understand, you know, much more kind of the challenges that Americans have day in and day out. So, yeah, this interview came out, and now obviously you've got people on the right saying peedom and forgot a word and he can't understand speech, so he's not fit for the Senate. And look, this is politics, So I get it. People will jump on any weakness

to give their party an advantage. I understand that, but let's be real, people, it's stumbling over a word every now and again disqualified you from politics. America wouldn't have had a president for the past six years. Huh, let's not. In fact, In fact, at least Peterman acknowledged that he messed up the word and he corrected himself. Yeah, Biden wouldn't have noticed, and he would assist her. Negroes Man

and Trump. Can you imagine Trump? Trump would never even acknowledge that all like Trump would have tried to convince us that he actually got the word right. He'd be like, I always knew that I was emphatic, and I was and also empathetic. I was emphatically empathetic, and so emphatic about being empathetic emphatic about emphysema. Do we love emphasyma, folks, We love it so much? And also as for needing to read captions, because he has a troubled understanding of speech, now,

I don't know is that really a deal breaker? Huh? In fact, if you ask me, I think America needs more people in politics who actually know how to read. Maybe that's just how I see it. If anything, if anything, needing captions is super relatable these days. Yeah, have you tried watching House of Dragon without captions? It's impossible. I mean,

half the characters have the same name. Here, you Gonen tell a mon to get Rania to warn Ranerious about Eagle's dream, but don't tell for serious, He'll tell you serius. Did you get that? No? I didn't. I don't know

what that was. So look, so look, I'm not I'm not vouching for feedoment over doctor Os or anything like that, but I do think this whole debate is veering into the territory of saying that people with disabilities cannot be lawmakers, which is trash all right, especially since America already has disabled lawmakers serving right now, it shouldn't be disqualifier. But Dan Cranshaw is missing an eye, Tammy Duckworth lost both her legs right, and Mitch McConnell, he's literally melting all

the time. But has he let that hold him back? No, He gets up every day and he vows to keep on working until the moment his face slides right off of his skull. Marrow, that's right. Never Now, I tire

my skirt into opponent ter mar Now. Even though the sentence is getting the most attention, there's also a heated race for maya of Los Angeles where Congresswoman Karen Bass is facing off against real estate tycoon Rick Crusoe, and in their final debate last nights, there was one moment that got everyone's attention, and it's when the moderator mentioned that Karen Bass is a person of color, and then Rick Caruso said, uh me too. Then this question goes

for the both of you. The next mayor of Los Angeles will be either an African American woman for a white man I'm Italian Italian Americans. You're not white, You're Latin. What is that? What is that? We all know what this is about, right, this guy is running in Los Angeles, so now he's saying I'm Italian, which is a Latin language, So I'm basically Latino, right, don't I'm not. I'm not

claiming should be an expert. But if you tell someone you're grabbing Latin food, I think they'll be pretty pished off when you come back with all of garden. Right, we cannot agree on that. So I think we cann't agree that Rick Cruso was just bullshitting here, because I promise you when he gets pulled over by the cops, he's not like all the officer. What is the problem, Senor What's funny about this whole thing is that when they came to America, Italians weren't considered whites, but then

they fought for like a hundred years to change that. Yeah, and let's be honest, any debate was definitely over by the time the Mario trailer came out last week. Yeah, because Chris Pratts is out here like it is I Mario. So the Senate races are heating up. The mayoral races are heating up. But it turns out even in the animal Kingdom, my friends, elections are being fought tooth and nail. Then update on Fat and Bear a week. It's the popular bracket. It has been rocked by a big cheating scandal.

So each year people vote on the beefiest bear in Alaska's Cat Made cat My National Park. Before hibernation season, well, the national Park tweeted quote like bear stuff their face with fish. Our ballot box too has been stuffed. There were thousands of fake votes for Bear seven four seven, but even with the fake was removed, Seven four seven weighed in at fourteen hundred pounds and still wanted semifinal round. Now seven will face off against Bear nine oh one

for the final round. Voting start this morning. Yes, my friends, it appears that a voting scandal has tainted the dignity of fat Bear a week and don't you dare love? Don't you love? If we cannot trust the sanctity of the fat bare vote, then what can't we trust? I honestly don't understand this. Who would even care enough about a fat by election to try and cheat and stuff the battle box? Who is this person who's like, oh, I've got to ring this, and it why the fattest

bear doesn't get any power if it wins. Isn't like a bear is gonna win the election and then cut Texas? Right right? I use my clause to cut the taxas and not for those owning laws. What are you doing? And by the way, I feel like the story is almost the perfect encapsulation of American culture, all right, because when other countries engaged with nature, h there's a reverence, you know, it's like the mighty brown bear, weary of the coming chun how goes down the winter months. With America,

it's like, look at this chunky boy. Look at him. He's some chunky I just want to dude, Oh my god, he's just eate my arm. Take a picture the U s economy. Remember how the Fed raised interest rates a thousand times in the last week to try and stop inflation. Well it turns out it didn't work. Breaking news on the economy. Inflation shows no signs of slowing down. The

last inflation report before the med term elections. Take a look at him of these numbers shows that prices rose eight point two between September and September, Gasoline prices up more than eighteen percent from last year. Food prices still up eleven percent, Turkey up from this time last year, eggs up, butter, and then get the little candy corn graphic. Halloween candy up a whopping thirty across the board. That's right, people, Halloween candy lo how they say it like it's necessary

to live. What are we gonna do without it? Once again, inflation numbers are out and prices are still going up, affecting everything from gas to Halloween candy. Not only that, razor blades are up. One of my zodes are put in the candy. How do I live? I will say a thirty focus in increasing candy. That is a lot. It's so expensive. Parents are gonna start encouraging their kids to get into strange vans, you know, just like look, look Timmy the stranger says he's got free candy in

and in this economy, we gotta take a shot. Body, we gotta do it. You gotta air tag, I'll find you. Who are people? All this? All this inflation is just not sustainable, right because because here's the thing. Inflation is a lot like masturbation. Right, Yeah, we're a little bit as completely natural. But once you start noticing it in restaurants and card dealerships, things have gotten out of hands.

And look, if we had more time, we could talk about the Federal Reserve and and it looks like how they're gonna keep raising interest rates to try and curb this rampant inflation, because that's basically the only tool that they have. The problem is raising interest rates takes so long to filter through the economy that this could be too much raising interest rates, and we just don't know it yet. In some ways, raising interest rates is a

lot like taking mushrooms. Right, you take some, nothing happens, so you take some more, nothing happens, and then you finished the whole box. And because this stuff clearly doesn't work, what brol interest rates? God's agree time for this, because all everyone's bills are going up. One of the worst people of all time just got the biggest bill of all time. Tonight the stunning verdict conspiracy theorists Alex Jones ordered to pay nearly a billion dollars for spreading falsehoods

about the Sandy Park shooting. Jones was not in the courtroom for the verdict, but immediately reacted on his online show, calling the attorneys for the victims families ambulance chasers and mocking the verdict. Yifty seven million, twenty million, fifty million, eighty million, hun a million, you get a million, you got a hundred million, you got a fifty million. They actually believe we're getting Sturney. What a dick. You know.

I used to watch American movies as a kid, and I always thought the bad guys that were in the movies were fake. And then I came to this country and bad guys are literally in their lay like you haven't seen the last of me. Ha ha ha ah. But that's right. For the faming the parents and the first responders of Sandy Hook when he accused them of faking the shooting. Alex Jones has been ordered to pay nine hundred and sixty five million dollars. Yeah, which is

a huge amount of money. You know, you up when even your great great grandkids will have to declare bankruptcy. Yeah. He's basically got millions of sperms swimming around in these boats, and every single one of them is a bro gas bitch right now, every single one, every single one and by the way, by the way, Good luck to Alex Jones's lawyer trying to get clients after this, you know, like, what's your selling point? You know, in my last case,

the jury awarded a billion dollars. Wow to your clients, well to eight clients. Now, if we had more time, we could talk about how Jones's conspiracy theories have only become more mainstream since Sandy Hook, and that there's not enough billion dollar judgments in the world to change the fact that one fifth of Americans think that Sandy Hook might have been staged. But we can't get into all of that because while Alex Jones's trial is over, Andy

Warhol's is just beginning. The Supreme Court heard a case today involving one of the most famous artists in American history. The justices are deciding whether Andy Warhol had legally copied another artist's work. They're among Andy Warhol's most iconic portraits, the silk screen images of Prints. The image was based on a photographed by Lynn Goldsmith. She sued Warhol's foundation,

claiming copyright infringement. The justices did find some lighter moments when Clarence Thomas revealed his musical tastes and let's say that I'm both a Prince van which I was in the eighties and no longer. Well, not only on Thursday night. Who year, Justice Thomas us see you, your little freak nasty are six days a week, it's shapeless black robes.

But then Thursday night hits and you've got that full bush of chest heap pop. And now, yeah, I know a lot of people right now might be wondering why Thomas only listens to Prince on Thursday nights specifically, But you see, Clarence Thomas is an originalist. And it says right there in the Constitution Thursday night is night. Yeah, it says it. It says it. We always go back. I don't know why they put that in there, but

they did. But yeah, the big question in this case is if Andy Warhol simply copied the Prince picture or if he made it his own by transforming it. And it just so happens that I am not expert. Yeah, so I'm uniquely qualified to answer this question. Now, if you compare them and you look very closely, you'll see he made it red and purple with some squiddly things. I'm sorry, I'm such an archae that this is probably going all over over your heads. The bottom line is,

I think it is different than the other one. That's what I'm saying. Now, Look, if we have the time, we could talk about how it's weird that the Supreme Court is the only place where you get to be an expert on every single issue in the world. It's why we'll actually the Supreme Court and Twitter. But we just don't have the time for that, because while the Supreme Court is trying to decide if certain artists are stealing, it's becoming clear that a certain former president definitely is.

This morning, a new twist in the investigation into former President Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents at his Florida state Trump told people to move boxes to his residence at the property after advisers received a subpoena in May for any classified documents at Mara Lago. That witness account was corroborated by security camera footage, which showed people moving

the boxes. Yeah, I'm sorry. Trump is a legend. Who else gets court committing crimes with their own security cameras? Who are you? You're in here as this guy's They're like, Harry moved those classified documents so I could illegally hide them from the FBI. But first by first, let's all wave at that blinking red light and tell that our names Donald J. Trump. That J stands for genius. It's

something that's firing about it too. When you think about it, you know this is actually inspiring because Trump is so bad at crime, but he gets away with so much of it. It just shows us that we could do crime too. He's like the drunk couple of karaoke. Hearing them screeched through don't stop and leaving gives you the compidence to try kiss from a rose. And look, if we had a little more time, we could have so much fun talking about how Trump has once again helped

the Justice Department cracked the case against him. Or we could even get into my personal conspiracy theory that run into Sanctus and his people are probably the ones who snitched on Trump to get him out of the presidential race. But we don't have the time for that because while the FBI is investigating Trumps was handling of classified documents,

Congress is investigating a whole gift and Trump crime. And today, at their final hearing, the January six Committee released never before seen footage showing what Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer were doing while Trump's mob was outside, asking to have an intimate conversation with Mike Pence's neck. And it was pretty impressive how they were keeping their cool and trying to get stuff done, everything from phoning the Vice president

to even trying to call in the National Guard. But one of the craziest moments was when Nancy Pelosi pointed out one really smelly reason the lawmakers might not be able to stay in the Capitol. What we are being told very directly is it's gonna take days for the capital. Again. We've gotten a very bad report about the condition. I would go, how decacation and all that kind of thing as well, I just got off because I spent He had the impression permit that mention wants to get everybody

there to do it there. Yes, I said, well we're getting at counter like that is time clean up the poopoo that they're making all over them literally and figuratively

in the capital. Yeah, you heard that right. It turns out right wing Jamaric Choir was shooting, or, as Nancy Pelosi put it, poop pooing all over the Capitol And you know when when I when I was watching this happen, I thought to myself, it's so interesting how people like Tucker Carlson, we're calling black people animals when the George Floyd protests were happening, But when these people were literally shifting in the capital, Fox was like, these brave patriots

are just expressing their frustration and standing up for American democracy. Uh, They're They're not the animals. Like I can tell you for a fact, even in Minnesota when ship was going down and people were raiding that target, there was no black man who stopped in the middle of all of them was like, hey, yo, hold up, hold up, hey yo, hold up. Okay, hold on, hold on. Black lives matter.

But we don't have the time to talk about those moments from the committee because the biggest news of the day is that the January six Committee has issued a subpoena to speak to the chief of Poopoo himself. Happening now, the January six Selectivity punctuates its final hearing before the midterm elections with a bombshell a subpoena for former President

Donald Trump. So this afternoon, I am offering this resolution that the Committee direct the chairman to issue a subpoena irrelevant documents and testimony under oath from Donald John Trump. Oh shit, that's what the J stands for, all on a bombshell. Oh and also the fact that they just subpoenaed a former president of the United States. It's and I mean, how are yeah, finally, how are they only

deciding on this now? Huh? Only now it's like doing a whole murder investigation and then on the last day being like, should we like talk to the murderer.

But I feel like he's going to be a little conflicted. Yeah, because on the one hand, yes, he thinks this is a crooked witch hunt that is out to get him. But

on the other hand, the ratings. Can you imagine the ratings. This would be like the Super Bowl meets water Gates meets a Game of Thrones meets a mandatory HR video about sexual harassment. Everyone who'll be watching, everyone will be watching, and we all know the only thing Donald Trump loves more than ratings is grabbing classified documents by the pussy and look, whether you like Trump or not, you've got

to admit this dude as a record breaker. First president to be impeached twice, first president to be subpoenab for stage in the coup. First president to go to prison maybe, first prison to break I don't prison. First president to escape to Mexico. First president to be blocked by his own wall. Try to escape to Mexican before we go.
