Welcome to Tire Discounters. Oh, hiya, Phantom. Mike,

0:02

you may be in big trouble. Yeah? Free

0:04

alignment and a free oil change? On any

0:06

four tire purchase? And Michelin's up to $175

0:08

off? Right. Sorry, Mike, but

0:11

I'm telling. But the Wood family is

0:13

behind all this. Oh, those rascals. But

0:15

don't tell the accountants. Of course not.

0:17

What do they do again? Buy any

0:19

set of four tires and tire discounters

0:21

and get a free alignment and oil

0:23

change. Make them Michelin's and save up to $175 more. Top

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

We are nestles for the reason you think

15:18

said a spokesperson for the why does the Grazie

15:22

15:25

was showing whole has a few suing

15:27

hog. He was showing whole and

15:29

hogs. Now if you want to get elected

15:32

and know. I know there's different

15:34

audiences for in I'm Down. Here

15:36

to. People that I wouldn't can make the difference.

15:38

All the difference in the world. Send.

15:40

To draw a picture of efforts into my

15:42

mind and I'm having trouble and I just

15:44

figured Rory I'm like that's how I wish

16:23

we're not. A half of us were

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

16:38

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

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
