0:11
I'm telling. But the Wood family is
0:13
behind all this. Oh, those rascals. But
0:15

0:26
10 Discounters.
0:29
The store for details. You
0:31
know when you make your therapist your dad, these things
0:33
happen. I just can't imagine telling a straight
0:36
man my problems. Unfathomable
0:38
to me. Yeah, it's like going to a male gynecologist.
0:40
What do you know about this? Yeah,
0:42
what do you know about this? Just like, who's
0:45
going to a male gynecologist? They're out there.
0:47
I know they're out there, but why are you going
0:49
to one? I would. Well, yeah, they're male obstetrician. Obstetrician
0:52
gynecologist usually comes together, right? He'd
0:54
have to be the nicest guy. I would never. But I imagine
0:57
he would. I wouldn't literally, never. But I feel like for
0:59
a long time, they were all men. Yeah,
1:01
because all the doctors were men. My uncle
1:03
is an obstetrician gynecologist. What's his deal? God
1:05
bless. We're estranged. And
1:16
we're back. I'm here with Kendra.
1:18
I'm here with Hallie. I'm here with Sarah.
1:20
Hello. David's on the ones and twos. Yeah.
1:23
Let's get into it. What
1:25
a weekday. Donald Trump had
1:27
a busy weekend of reintroducing himself to the
1:29
country during his latest campaign swing, starting with
1:31
this declaration at a rally in Ohio on
1:33
Saturday. Now, if I don't get elected, it's
1:35
going to be a bloodbath for the whole.
1:38
That's going to be the least of it. It's going
1:40
to be a bloodbath for the country. That'll be the
1:42
least of it. I should note, of course, that we've
1:44
taken this clip out of context. Right before this moment,
1:46
he took out a chainsaw and revved it up. In
1:49
the speech, he also said, if this election
1:51
isn't won, we won't have another election in
1:53
this country. The Biden campaign responded in a
1:55
statement. This is who Donald Trump is, a
1:57
loser who gets beat by over 7 million
1:59
votes. And then instead of appealing to
2:01
a wider mainstream audience, doubles down on his
2:03
threats of political violence. Trump would never sell
2:05
out by going mainstream. He's a niche act
2:08
with a small number of rabidly devoted fans,
2:10
like insane clown posse or the popcorn flavored
2:12
jelly bean. No
2:14
good. Trump on Monday defended his remarks,
2:16
writing on Truth Social, the fake news media
2:18
and their Democrat partners in the destruction of
2:20
our nation, pretended to be shocked by my
2:22
use of the word blood bath, which
2:25
he put in all caps. Even though
2:27
they fully understood that I was simply
2:29
referring to imports allowed by Crooked Joe
2:31
Biden, which are killing the automobile industry.
2:33
Trump continued, he's killing American cars, which
2:35
have blood. The cars in Pixar's cars
2:37
have eyes, so it follows that they
2:39
have blood to supply oxygen to the
2:41
eyes. The cars from cars have optic
2:43
nerves that go to the engine, which
2:45
is the brain. Trump
2:48
insinuates and vaguely asserts the possibility
2:50
of violence all the time. But
2:53
even in his claim that his words
2:55
are being taken out of context, he
2:57
refers to Democrats and the media
2:59
as being in cahoots to
3:01
destroy the country. Like
3:04
even when he's not using explicitly violent
3:06
words, when you claim your opponents in
3:08
politics don't just have a different point
3:11
of view than you, but will destroy
3:13
the country, you are signaling to people
3:15
that those people are dangerous. And if
3:17
you follow what he's saying to his
3:20
logical conclusion, of course, of course he
3:22
wants there to be political violence. Also
3:24
don't put blood bath in all caps or trying to
3:26
say you went in a chill way. Yeah,
3:30
he met blood bath in a chill way. Yeah,
3:32
you can tell because he put it in all caps. And
3:35
then on Sunday, Trump said on Fox News
3:37
that he would be making a decision pretty
3:39
soon about whether to support a national abortion
3:41
ban. New York Times piece by Maggie Haberman-Nethers
3:43
says that you have discussed with your advisors
3:47
having a ban, the possibility of a
3:49
ban on abortion after 16 weeks. Do
3:51
you think that could be politically acceptable?
3:53
So we're gonna find out, and pretty
3:55
soon I'm gonna be making a decision. And
3:58
I would like to see if we could do that. I
4:00
would like to see if we could make both
4:02
sides happy. Ah yes, Trump with his famous deaf
4:04
touch, a capacity to see an issue from every
4:06
angle, to put himself in the shoes of everyone
4:08
from a Baptist preacher to a 16 year
4:11
old who was impregnated by her uncle and only
4:13
had the courage to say anything after she began
4:15
to show he'll make both sides happy. For Trump,
4:18
sex is making both sides happy in a sense
4:20
that he finished. How
4:23
would you like that joke? I mean, it was
4:25
a well put together joke. It just fills
4:27
you with disgust. You know what I mean? Yeah.
4:30
I'm going to laugh here. I'm going to laugh here. I'm
4:32
going to laugh here. No, he's
4:35
repulsive on every measure. The idea that he
4:37
should be involved in anyone's intimate medical
4:40
decisions is repulsive. Some
4:42
jokes make you laugh. Some jokes make you take a shower. Some
4:45
kinds of jokes. That's comedy. Yeah, that's comedy,
4:47
baby. I think the other thing is there
4:50
is some polling about 16 week
4:53
abortion bans and other kind of abortion
4:56
bans that aren't as draconian as six weeks.
4:59
They do poll better than the
5:01
bans that take place earlier. But
5:05
it is also just the reality that
5:07
people do have an ambivalence about the issue, even
5:09
though they largely believe the government should not be
5:11
involved in these decisions. In
5:15
virtually every instance, when
5:17
actually confronted by the reality of any
5:19
kind of ban, even a 16 week
5:21
ban that might poll better than a
5:23
six or 12 week ban, the reality
5:25
of what that would mean for people
5:27
makes it extremely unpopular. Right now, doctors
5:29
in Louisiana are trying not to
5:31
get people to come into their first maternal appointments
5:33
until post 12 weeks, because 12 weeks is
5:35
about the time where if you're going to have
5:38
a miscarriage in the first trimester, that's generally
5:41
when it will happen. They're trying
5:43
to keep you not coming until 13
5:45
weeks and beyond so that there is no legal
5:48
implication that they may have
5:50
caused or performed
5:52
an abortion on you and then tried to discuss
5:54
that as a miscarriage. I don't know
5:56
if it was also Louisiana, but there's a headline this week. I
5:58
can look it up. Basically, they're
6:00
implying that some doctors were feeling
6:03
more compelled to do C-sections for
6:05
a similar problem. And it's
6:07
like, again, it's like this is not an
6:10
arbitrary moral decision that is someone
6:12
5,000 miles away should be making. It
6:16
is affecting how medical professionals are providing
6:18
care. And I think a lot
6:20
of the ambivalence has to come, I mean, it unfortunately
6:22
comes down to the increasing
6:25
ravenous Christian fundamentalists who are
6:27
gaining power in this country.
6:30
It's the same issue with queer people, the same issue with trans people.
6:32
Their discomfort with people having control over
6:35
their bodies is just causing them to
6:38
try to tighten the noose on our ability to live.
6:40
And it's just like, we're talking about
6:42
this, like, oh, it's 16, it's 12. And
6:45
in reality, the person
6:47
dealing with this is in the
6:49
worst possible situation every time. And
6:52
we would rather punish them and punish
6:54
medical providers than be
6:57
willing to address our discomfort with the idea that
6:59
someone might be getting an abortion in a way
7:01
that we don't approve of. But it shouldn't be
7:03
us, like, it shouldn't be our decision. And
7:05
I include myself in that, I was raised Catholic, I don't
7:08
know how I feel about it if I would ever get an abortion. That
7:10
doesn't have to do with it. Like, that should, the
7:12
idea that like my religious or personal decisions should be
7:14
a part of this is insane. And
7:16
then, I don't know, there's no conclusion to that.
7:18
It's just sort of like, it's only gonna get
7:21
worse. We throw out the word C-section
7:23
really, really easily because it is such like a common
7:25
procedure and like normal, like 95% of the time goes
7:27
very well. But
7:30
it is also the most like, in terms of
7:32
birth and that whole, like, all of that process,
7:34
it's the most dangerous thing you can possibly do.
7:36
So to jump from whatever the basic- It's major
7:39
surgery. Yeah, exactly. You jump from whatever the basic
7:41
option is to C-section is insane. Yeah.
7:44
I feel like this discourse about number
7:46
of weeks often leaves out the later you need
7:49
an abortion, the more tragic- Absolutely, yeah. ... the
7:51
situation it tends to be. That's usually a wanted
7:53
baby that there's a horrible problem. No one is
7:55
casually waiting until 18, 19 weeks to
7:57
get an abortion. Yeah. them
8:00
on what they want one. Yeah. Yeah. It's the same
8:02
issue to me. It's like, oh, you know, I
8:04
remember Gage would argue with my Uber driver, but she's
8:07
like, why does someone have like five abortions? And it's
8:09
like, that's a you problem. I don't know.
8:11
Like, what are you offering? And I
8:13
think it seems like, oh, queer people like, well, if
8:15
you guys would stop action so fruity or like, same
8:17
with trans people, it's like, well, if you were more
8:19
of a normal version, it's like, that's never going to
8:21
happen. So we all have to like, on the
8:24
left, at least acknowledge that there is no amount
8:26
of there are no weeks for like a Mike
8:28
Johnson's the world. There's no week. It
8:30
doesn't matter. Like we're having a conversation around the fact
8:32
that like, they don't want anyone to be able to
8:34
get an abortion. Well, and the fact that even if
8:36
you're someone who says like, I agree with some of
8:38
these abortions, but these ladies are getting five abortions, you
8:41
can be uncomfortable with that. You can disagree with
8:43
that. But if that one doesn't have access, no
8:45
one has access. If that was true, then that
8:47
woman needs help. Like that is a sign that
8:49
the system itself is wrong rather than this individual
8:52
proves that no one should get an abortion. Also,
8:54
frankly, that woman's doctor will have that conversation with
8:56
her because it is so invasive. So that doctor
8:58
might say, Hey, maybe this isn't
9:00
the best idea, but that's between those two people. Right.
9:02
We're creating laws based on hypotheticals rather than on
9:05
people's actual lived lives. And also the same
9:07
people who bring up that
9:09
woman as a counter example, I've seen people
9:11
want to ban contraception and so, you know,
9:13
yeah. Love it. Do you have anything you'd
9:15
like to add? Um,
9:17
no, I think I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm
9:20
gonna leave it up to you. Tell it to the
9:22
girl. Make us laugh. Make us laugh. Dance for us.
9:25
Tell a joke. Uh,
9:28
comedy. It's
9:30
a funny time. It's a funny time. We're
9:33
all laughing. We're all laughing. In
9:35
that same interview, Trump couldn't bring himself
9:37
to blame Vladimir Putin for the death
9:39
of Russian dissident Alexei Navalny. But
9:42
here's the thing. The media, as you know,
9:44
blame Putin. Joe Biden blames Putin.
9:46
Much of the civilized world blames Putin.
9:48
Do you believe Vladimir Putin has some
9:50
responsibility for the death of Alexei Navalny?
9:53
I don't know, but perhaps, I
9:55
mean, possibly I could say probably. I
9:58
don't know. young
10:00
man so statistically he'd be alive for
10:03
a long time. He'd be killed by the
10:05
insurance numbers, he'd be alive for another 40
10:07
years. So something happened
10:10
that was unusual. Then
10:12
Trump whipped out his magnifying glass and resumed
10:15
his other ongoing investigation. The death of JFK
10:17
said Trump, look at this, in the head
10:19
area. Statistically, heads almost never do that on
10:21
the road. He'll leave this
10:23
man's skull alone. It's been weeks since we made a
10:26
skull there. Yeah, we cut the last one. We
10:28
cut the last one. I just did
10:30
it for fun at the live show, but in the end of you people got
10:32
to hear it because it was
10:35
considered too risque for
10:37
the woke crooked crowd.
10:39
When Fox News host Howard Kurtz
10:41
pressed Trump on Duvalny having survived poisoning
10:43
by a nerve agent, Trump said this.
10:45
Well, obviously he survived a poisoning attempt
10:47
by the Kremlin and barely lived, went
10:49
back, got jailed, and then suddenly he
10:52
kills over. They don't release the body.
10:54
I mean, how could anything like that
10:56
happen without Putin and high ranking Kremlin
10:58
officials sanctioning it? Well,
11:00
I don't know. You certainly can't say for sure, but
11:02
certainly that would look like something
11:05
very bad happened. Right? I think we're going to
11:07
agree on that. I think so. This
11:10
is the Fox News version of a hard hitting question,
11:12
a single follow up that boils down to my leash.
11:14
Would you care for one more chance to clean this
11:16
up and make sense? On
11:18
Monday, Trump's lawyers told the New York appeals
11:20
court that he was unable to secure a
11:22
bond to cover the $464 million judgment against
11:25
him in his New York civil fraud case.
11:27
Rote Trump's lawyers, our client has also
11:29
been unable to forge an emotional bond of any
11:31
kind, which is neither here nor there, but just
11:33
to give you the full picture, about 30
11:36
companies have refused to issue a bond because they
11:38
won't accept real estate as collateral and real estate
11:40
is what accounts for most of Trump's wealth, real
11:43
estate and suits that have enough room in the dumper
11:45
for an adult diaper. But he's not using that space
11:47
yet. He's just investing in it for the future. And
11:49
that, my friends. Is
11:52
real estate. Rote one of the
11:54
companies. We Don't accept buildings as a matter of
11:56
policy. And Also, these particular buildings are tacky as
11:58
hell. Real Uggos. As far as buildings. Then you've
12:00
got. the bond is due to be posted in
12:02
a week for Trump as the appeals court to
12:05
delay requiring a bond to prevent the States from
12:07
seizing his assets and we'd hate to see that
12:09
said, a judge who loved the movie Past Lives
12:11
In it. Rachel Maddow wanted the Navy Secretary walk.
12:15
On Monday, the Us Supreme Court heard
12:17
arguments as to whether the government's efforts
12:19
to persuade social media companies to remove
12:21
misinformation was a violation of the First
12:23
Amendment rights of those who posted the
12:25
nonsense. And. They have a watertight
12:27
case because the Federal government put pressure
12:29
on these platforms by threatening to lot
12:32
non compliant executives in a soundproof rooms
12:34
with Commander Biden away. I'm sorry. I'm
12:36
sorry I misread that. It says here government
12:39
officials sent to light emails at the center
12:41
of the case or posts about the Twenty
12:43
Twenty elections, the covered vaccine, and you guessed
12:45
it, Hunter Biden laptop Good. Let's try to
12:47
shut up and a the Hunter Biden related
12:49
Mtg is walking around everywhere with a bone,
12:51
a picture of his hog, sex and causes
12:53
of Us. Have done that.
12:55
A repeated every letter. analyze them as I
12:58
think it's funny. Bring it back cause I'm
13:00
able to have hogs. Down. Some
13:02
be lazarus the like where your by you. I like
13:04
the pics. No. No hog but a
13:06
hot or or in our supplies better. yeah actually
13:09
a biden. he's got a hot summers without a
13:11
wiener is other we can do about it Now
13:13
I that human. Some people have pigs as pets.
13:15
Oh and we are. they do. but I didn't
13:17
realize you're still in the analogy him and good
13:20
for you to be in. I'm anti vax. There's
13:22
alleged their posts were banned or t prioritized by
13:24
social media algorithms at the behest of the government
13:26
during a pandemic. is actually cool when you think
13:29
about it. that the government really was out to
13:31
get me because I was saying that for years
13:33
and my ex wife told me I was crazy.
13:35
For who's laughing now Angela and or
13:37
new housing for Us Senator competitions and
13:39
you are kids Called Dad but also
13:41
me. A
13:44
success as it pertains with kicked up to
13:46
the Supreme Court following a ruling last September
13:48
by the wacky right wing says you assert
13:50
it's which part officials in the White House,
13:52
the Cdc, the Surgeon General's office, any of
13:55
the ice from even contacting social media companies.
13:57
In response, the by the administration pointed out
13:59
that person version informing the public that's part
14:01
of the President's job. For example, in one
14:03
email, the White House flies in our As
14:05
King Jr tweets that tied the death of
14:08
baseball great Hank Aaron to being vaccinated against
14:10
cove It. There is no evidence that Hank
14:12
Aaron's twenty twenty one death had anything to
14:14
do with a vaccine. I don't know.
14:17
What? Else to explain some on passing away at
14:19
age eighty six I suppose. the feeling of
14:21
a job well done after passing Medicare for
14:23
all securing abortion rights, fixing the climate and
14:25
fucking. you're hot teacher wise one last time
14:27
on January Nineteen. Twenty Twenty something. We
14:30
assess case scenario. Is described. Yeah oh
14:33
I get be hearing suggested the Just
14:35
As Bleed. The White House has the
14:37
right to contact social media companies about
14:39
majority posts provided they are not issuing
14:41
threats. Justice Sonia Sotomayor also accused the
14:43
States of misrepresenting communications, telling we the
14:45
on Solicitor General that I have a
14:47
problem with your brief. You emit information
14:49
that changes the context of some of
14:51
your claims. For example, the States brief
14:53
sites an email from the White House
14:55
to face books that said are you
14:57
guys fucking serious I want an answer
14:59
I want happened here and I want
15:01
it. To day. Not.
15:03
Grunts not great but then you find
15:05
other that emails was not a demand
15:07
to censor any post but rather an
15:09
outburst over a technical problems affecting the
15:12
president's instagram account. The nothing to do
15:14
with moderating content at all. A.
15:16

16:04
think you I said yes am that
16:07
very specific Scenario Make up allow know,
16:09
make have allowed to exist see. The
16:11
tan lines and I think it. Will really just
16:13
the the arrow people your i'm just
16:15
the unfettered corpus it are. We allowed
16:18
hairpieces like what along with well I'm.
16:21
New. Here pieces seat. Yes, no,
16:23
we're not. A half of us were
16:25
not. Yeah. I think by
16:27
in that very specific scenario yeah I'd
16:29
in it's present and the ground agreement
16:31
there. And. Is where the people we to
16:34
horny to vote. Yeah, I mean that us, You
16:36
know, problem. We get married Americans did not. Oh
16:38
to vote, they're all coming up. For
16:41
go on, come to their. Own
16:45
Usps. And. Identifies.
16:48
Kittens Now that we're imagining this, I'm
16:50
excited to see who can be sending
16:53
next com. os. Oh yeah no no,
16:55
the lungs are not involving them up.
16:58
Speaking. Of misinformation. The Princess is
17:00
missing a we need information. Hold.
17:03
For deafening silence and I hear a
17:05
word itself into a frenzy theorizing over
17:07
why Kate Middleton had not been seen
17:09
publicly in months. even though she said
17:11
I'm going to get surgery and will
17:13
not as he said, assessment on assistance.
17:15
When the Royal Pr Department released a
17:17
photoshopped image of Middleton it or children,
17:19
the frenzy became a furor. Assuming email
17:21
been name, issued an apology for the
17:23
altered image, but there was no updated
17:25
image or video to put the rumor.
17:27
suresh. the lack of reliable information in
17:29
a system that requires unending posts and
17:31
contents meant that bullshit flooded into. The voice
17:34
kate is dead kid is and treatments to
17:36
it's absence is tied to the suicide of
17:38
another royal family member. That suicide was murder.
17:40
Some suggested take out a Bbl which is
17:42
ridiculous. It was Williams about the to sit
17:44
as. Another theory claim
17:46
that the Palace discovered Prince William had
17:48
an illegitimate child with rumored mistress Rose
17:51
Hanbury. It's causing K to seek a
17:53
divorce. Embrace Lawyers claim the stories completely
17:55
false which is what you would say
17:57
then. word of Charles his death had
17:59
Russian so. The media monday and spread
18:01
like wildfire said Russians on off. This
18:04
it popped up here between posts about putting
18:07
being handsome and our all the Mc Donald's
18:09
leading rusher his blessing in disguise. And.
18:12
Other seemingly basis from her claim that Buckingham
18:14
Palace alerted the Bbc about a coming major
18:17
announcement by the Royal family, and then it
18:19
turned out to be guerilla marketing for Meghan
18:21
Markle new Montecito Lifestyle. Okay,
18:23
it wasn't guerilla marketing for Meghan Markle
18:26
new Montecito Lifestyle brand, but this is
18:28
actually the week and Meghan Markle decided
18:30
to launch per month to see so
18:33
like the Sound brands. Mit
18:35
I get it as wild as a
18:38
trump card? Yeah. And then on Monday
18:40
Tmz published a video reportedly of Prince
18:42
William and Kate Middleton leaving a farm
18:44
shop. on Saturday. Some.
18:53
A disputed at the video is recent since
18:55
Live Breeders tell us Kate Middleton is chatting
18:57
about how nine eleven hasn't happened. Speaking
19:02
of grainy, I see these. Her I think
19:04
it's very distinct is optional but I think
19:06
it's you can ever driven insane by having
19:08
to write this, exits and be like wait
19:10
a minute I don't Always our know I
19:13
think that that people who are claiming that
19:15
they can tell civically from this video that
19:17
this is her and she's fine are as
19:19
crazy as the people who are claiming she.
19:21
Oh why don't we? Because. This video tells
19:24
us nothing. It's as he added a it's very
19:26
far away and I'm not saying it's not real.
19:28
I'm saying that if you're saying you can tell
19:30
from this video that that is that woman. I.
19:33
Don't That also is crazy to this video
19:35
you can't see anything. smile on. His Dylan's
19:37
You said I thought this lady never went outside
19:39
and leggings that countries that she does. So on
19:41
that's where one sees what I'll say. he's
19:43
very well known for her. like sporty lox see
19:45
will constantly that's rust if he's going to
19:47
like some and event the calls for. That's
19:49
what I will say as I'd never seen her
19:52
in trainers. It's almost always a hiking boots
19:54
and. Thank you for saying trainers as at the British. people
19:56
understand yes yeah most yeah raised
19:58
without soccer is Yeah,
20:01
I mean I continue
20:03
to believe that
20:05
everyone is crazy and that this
20:07
is a person who didn't want to be on camera and
20:10
the people who were monitoring how bad
20:12
things had gotten and whose job
20:14
it is to help manage the image are the
20:16
people who cared. She was not in this instance
20:18
one of those people and I
20:21
do believe being shot from far
20:23
away where she doesn't have to feel as
20:25
exposed because maybe she doesn't feel herself for whatever personal
20:27
reason which none of us have been privy
20:30
to which is fine is
20:32
kind of the compromise and why
20:34
we got this video and the
20:37
need for an answer quickly is not important.
20:41
It is only important in the internet which
20:43
is not important. Alien
20:45
doppelganger. Can't believe it there. Well have
20:47
you heard about the doppelganger? I believe her name is
20:49
Egan. Oh I don't know. I think it's a Google
20:51
bat. A new player. They did win. They
20:54
did a villa. And they did a villa. I
20:57
do think it rocks. They could have just produced
21:01
nothing at first, stayed silent, kept
21:03
to their plan but to
21:05
keep releasing a Photoshop photo, a
21:08
grainy video, they just have to know what they're doing.
21:11
Yeah but I do think like if
21:13
the Photoshop had been better, if
21:15
it had been a more successful execution
21:18
of a Photoshop and then it was
21:20
uncovered, I would be more willing to
21:22
believe that there is a genuine
21:24
kind of darker,
21:27
more interesting secret here. But
21:30
the fact that it was so ham-fisted,
21:32
so quickly done, tells
21:34
me that it is bumbling and not malicious. Like
21:36
it really does seem like here's an old photo.
21:38
We're not going to claim it's new but I
21:40
just made it look different and let's get it
21:43
out there. Whoever got it from
21:45
whoever just posted it, nobody really looked at
21:47
it very closely. This wasn't like a cabal
21:49
doing excellent cabal work here. I
21:51
don't know but the British are sort of known for
21:54
being bumbling and malicious. I think we've just
21:56
got to keep that in mind. Historically, historically.
21:58
That's a good point. That's why they're no
22:00
more dodos. Yeah. My
22:03
favorite sort of spin off from this on TikTok now
22:05
is that as people are discovering
22:07
who Rose Hanbury is, there have been more
22:09
pictures and stuff posted of whatever man or
22:11
house, whatever they have. And so
22:13
now people on, I don't know if it's
22:15
Chinese Americans or people in China on TikTok
22:18
are pointing things out being like, hey, that's
22:20
ours. Oh my God. Because of all the
22:22
stuff that's been looted. So now they're starting
22:24
to find more stuff that technically
22:26
belongs to them. Just
22:29
keepers. That's what I say.
22:31
Duly noted. John Lovett
22:34
quote finder keepers. And
22:37
he does have the Elgin marbles at his house. Yeah. Give
22:40
me the headline on nobody cares news. Yeah. Elgin
22:44
Elgin? I don't know. I think Elgin.
22:46
I think Elgin. I just, here's the thing. I
22:48
don't care how many letters they send me. The Kremlin's not getting those Romanov bones
22:50
back. Those are my Romanov bones.
22:52
Romanov's not going to be the Hudgens' mail.
22:55
Yeah. Yeah. Sorry,
22:57
Vanessa Hudgens. Hey, don't go anywhere. There's more of
22:59
Lovett or Leavett coming up.
23:06
Lovett or Leavett is brought to you by Angel's
23:08
Envy. How can Envy be
23:10
a motivating force that inspires people? I
23:13
don't know. I mean, look at the Elon Musk.
23:15
Envy makes the world go around. Envy
23:19
and FOMO. That's basically it. Yeah,
23:22
that's it. That's capitalism. Envy
23:25
is commonly regarded as a vice, but it
23:27
can be a good thing. Envy can be
23:29
a catalyst for creation, inspiring the world to
23:31
raise the bar. And Angel's Envy is a
23:34
bourbon that is worth the Envy. I was
23:36
wondering where we were going with this. Angel's
23:38
Envy bends the traditional rules of whiskey. It's
23:40
a little different from all other bourbons out
23:42
there. This bourbon makes the perfect gift for
23:44
any occasion. Angel's Envy are the pioneers of
23:46
secondary finishing in bourbon and one of the
23:49
first full production urban distilleries in downtown Louisville.
23:51
With its unique bottle design, Angel's Envy bourbon
23:53
finished in port barrels is sure to be
23:55
the Envy of any bar cart, too. Look
23:58
for Angel's Envy bourbon finished in port. Barrels.

25:39
of grainy videos featuring crisis actors, members
25:41
of the climate activist group Extinction Rebellion
25:43
interrupted a performance of Henrik Ibsen's An
25:45
Enemy of the People starring Jeremy Strong
25:48
and Michael Imperioli last week. No
25:50
disrespect to Extinction Rebellion, but if you're putting
25:52
on Ibsen's An Enemy of the People on
25:55
Broadway in 2024, it's already about climate
25:57
change and everyone in that crowd believes in
25:59
climate change. It's like interrupting Thanksgiving
26:01
dinner so you can raise awareness about cranberry
26:03
sauce. The play follows a doctor, played by
26:06
Strong, who discovers his town's bathhouse is contaminated
26:08
and he must go up against his brother,
26:10
the town's mayor, played by Imperiali, when he
26:12
attempts to let the public know the truth.
26:14
The play's director, Sam Gold, has talked publicly
26:17
about how this staging of the play is
26:19
inspired by the climate crisis, comparing Strong's character
26:21
to Greta Thunberg. The comparison makes sense, as
26:23
Greta Thunberg, a 50-year-old New Jersey man, has
26:25
been in character without interruption for over a
26:28
decade. One protester interrupted the
26:30
play during a town hall scene in which performers were
26:32
seated amongst the audience and delivered their lines to the
26:34
stage, which led many in the crowd to believe it
26:36
was part of the show. I
26:38
object to the silent thing of scientists.
26:43
And I agree that Michael Imperiali's
26:45
decades-long campaign of harassment and intimidation
26:47
against the scientific community on behalf
26:49
of BP and Monsanto has not
26:51
received nearly enough attention. Jeremy
26:54
Strong, seemingly in character, said the protester
26:56
should be allowed to speak, but Imperiali,
26:58
also in character, shoved the protester up
27:00
the stairs as the protesters warned about
27:02
sea level rise. I'm putting my career
27:04
on the line. I'm
27:06
not doing anything. I'm supposed to be doing
27:09
this. The water is coming for
27:11
me. The water is coming
27:13
for me. What is this planet? Sounds
27:15
like somebody hasn't seen Station Eleven. They
27:18
do theater, isn't it? Killing them does
27:20
survive. You need theater. You
27:23
can't have a society without art, Nali. People need stories, Nori. You
27:27
know, like a place to walk where there's not water. I'm
27:29
not worried about art. I think we got it. I'm
27:33
more worried about the grid. Anyway, even in a climate
27:35
apocalypse, if you think Lea Michele is canceling a show
27:37
just because the floodwaters are up under her neck, it'll
27:39
be the performance of a lifetime. If Jigsaw put a
27:41
Tony inside Bernadette Peters, Lea Michele would scoop it out
27:44
before he got done explaining the
27:46
rules. Also, I'd
27:48
like to say that the protesters said, I'm putting my career on
27:50
the line. Show don't tell.
27:53
You can't say during your protest that you're putting your career on
27:55
the line because that's a little too much about
27:57
you, I think. You know what I mean?
28:00
all gonna be funny in 20 years
28:02
or we're debating this. I get real
28:04
wacky at 20 years guys. I just
28:06
hope everyone's ready. I think if you're
28:08
in the audience during a Broadway play,
28:10
you need to be prepared for interaction
28:12
whether it's a screaming child at cats
28:14
or someone trying to like touch
28:16
a Lion King costume when I walked by. When
28:18
I was a little kid, my mom took me
28:20
and my sister to see Les Mis on Broadway
28:22
and I was obviously riveted. And
28:25
then my mother received a
28:27
firm tap on her shoulder and she looks to
28:29
her right and my sister is doing a full
28:31
handstand in her seat, bored
28:34
out of her fucking mind. Awesome. Remember
28:36
when someone pooped at that place that Hillary Clinton was at?
28:38
Yeah. But then it turned out it wasn't directed.
28:40
It was just an old person who couldn't make it. Oh,
28:42
I forgot about that part. Shout out to that old person. It
28:45
would have been some sort of climate protest. I mentioned
28:47
this to you guys before I recorded, but I did
28:49
have my most neo-leb
28:51
shell reaction to this. Yes,
28:54
we saw. And it was just that I
28:58
appreciate given the state
29:00
of the emergency, the idea that like the interruption
29:03
of a play, like maybe there should be no
29:05
place of comfort. Maybe this is so serious that
29:07
if all moments should be moments
29:09
where we're directed back towards this because we're clearly
29:11
not doing enough. And then the
29:13
same time I genuinely
29:16
believe that in terms
29:18
of the next several years on the planet
29:20
of Earth, the single most important decision, the
29:22
single biggest hinge point as to whether or
29:24
not we do more or less on climate
29:26
change is whether or not we reelect Joe
29:28
Biden. It is the difference between
29:31
a president that believes in the
29:33
Paris Climate Accord, passes the biggest climate legislation
29:35
in history, and someone who will do the
29:37
bidding of the oil companies and who thinks
29:39
windmills cause cancer and believes climate change is
29:41
a hoax. And
29:43
Biden may not be cool and he may
29:46
not be beloved and he may be outraging
29:48
people for very, very legitimate reasons on a
29:50
whole host of grounds. But
29:52
the most important thing anyone anywhere in this
29:55
country can do over the next six months
29:57
is make sure that we reelect Joe Biden
29:59
no matter what. no matter our concerns, but
30:02
I don't feel like that is carrying through,
30:05
certainly not in the discourse on the
30:07
left about what this election is all about. And
30:09
that's why we need side by side fluorescent
30:12
lit nudes. Fully fucking lit,
30:14
bright, no shadows. You can't hurt at this
30:16
point. I want up lights, I want down
30:18
lights. These are blown out
30:20
fucking bodies. And also if we could
30:22
stop sending money over to Israel right now. To be like, you
30:24
want people to laugh at the, I think I know exactly what
30:27
you need to do. I get it.
30:29
I'm there. I'm there. Speaking
30:31
of performers who would die and kill. Speaking
30:34
of performers, this is just
30:36
for those listening at home, I'm not even gonna, we're not even gonna
30:38
fix it. Imagine the Leah Michelle joke
30:41
just happened. All right. Everybody has
30:43
that in your mind. Speaking of performers who would
30:45
die or kill for us, on Saturday, Tom Cruise
30:47
was spotted with a film crew as he climbed
30:49
the Hollywood sign. It's always fun to see
30:51
one of showbiz's. How did I miss this? Oh
30:53
my God, Kendra. It's
30:56
always fun to see one of showbiz's oldest,
30:58
most iconic landmarks climbing on something. Wait,
31:01
what is he doing? It's for his next
31:03
film. He's being a star. I mean, yes,
31:05
obviously. I'm never taking that away from him.
31:08
It's for his next film, Tiny, Tiny King Kong.
31:10
It's Tiny King Kong. He
31:13
looks great. I mean, he looks phenomenal. He looks
31:15
great. Any man who's doing
31:18
the ab show is so fucking
31:20
psyched about where he got his abs
31:22
to before this picture was taken. Also,
31:24
the lift and ab pic, it's
31:26
the mission accomplished. Yeah, finally. The face
31:29
has settled. The hair is back. The hair looks
31:31
great. Giving Mission Impossible 2. I'm happy
31:33
with where we are now. I said it before.
31:35
I'd say it again. If Scientology turns you into
31:37
this, sign me up. Yeah. I
31:39
didn't think it was like this story I saw about
31:41
this. The headline was like, Tom Cruise spotted a top
31:43
Hollywood sign. He's on the second rung of that W.
31:46
We need to keep going. He may have kept going.
31:48
He can't call that a top. He's our greatest export
31:50
and our last movie star. What if it's a new
31:52
AMC ad? Yes, please.
31:56
Please. That would be so for or if it's
31:58
for regal. I
32:01
mean it's giving see me see you at the
32:04
movies. Yeah. Hmm. Can't wait to see you
32:06
there. I'm excited This is especially
32:08
since mission impossible was pushed back another year.
32:10
I know that yeah, you know, it's
32:12
not coming out this year I'm a bummer. That's
32:14
a bummer. Yeah, never gonna find out
32:16
what happens to the AI No, I
32:18
need to know For our
32:21
own sake any final thoughts my
32:23
