I was 84 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: going to say, also, Joy Behart sounds great. I mean, 85 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: she sounds like she's still on topic, kind of trying 86 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: to balance the conversation. 87 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 6: Some of it's good and some of it's not. Listen, 88 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 6: we all have different views. 89 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 7: Yes, And when you say, you know, misinformation disinformation, we 90 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 7: could go back to COVID when connected circumcision. May I 91 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 7: finish that? 92 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but it's straight up he's connected circumcision to autists. 93 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 4: If that's the case, then they need immediately without even hesitation. 94 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 4: You know where the highest rates of autism are going 95 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 4: to be. It's going to be Israel. Yeah, because they 96 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 4: also at the same time medically, Because you know, me 97 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 4: with my PhD in human sexuality, I actually did research 98 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 4: on this stuff. The country that has zero percent penile 99 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 4: cancer rates is Israel for the same reason. 100 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 6: But don't they also circumcise in the Muslim community. 101 00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, wherever circumcision is directly, the rates are directly 102 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 4: related to penal cancer rates. 103 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 2: That's wild that did not know that. I think here Also, 104 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 2: there is so much sort of adjacent to the whole 105 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 2: autism thing. It became kind of a jihad for them. 106 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 2: So you hear them talking about You heard it with 107 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: the announcement that Trump made of the. 108 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 3: In Cuba. 109 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: They don't have TIL and all because they can't afford it, 110 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 2: and as a result, there's no autism. I mean, that's 111 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 2: completely fictitious. I mean, they have title and all, they 112 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 2: can afford it, and there is autism. So, I mean, 113 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: there's just so much disinformation swirling around this guy Kennedy, 114 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 2: and he seems to just be I don't know, happy 115 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: in the gig or something. I don't know why he 116 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: is okay with that kind of disinformation. Even the measles 117 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 2: and the measles vaccines, there have been outbreaks now on 118 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 2: a level we haven't seen any decades, I mean, and 119 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: it's clearly the result of the lack of the vaccine 120 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: the fact that people have said vaccine hesitancy around measles. 121 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: Measles is a deadly illness. Potentially it can really do 122 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: damage to these kids. So anyway back to. 123 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 7: The view to COVID, when circumcisions, may I finish please? 124 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 7: When people faucci, people were saying, when you get the vaccine, 125 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 7: you cannot transmit COVID, it will stop COVID, and that 126 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 7: was disinformation missing you're as. 127 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 6: Still learning about it. 128 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 7: It was a novel virus and you've never any found it, 129 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 7: right because now the doctors will acknowledge that doctor. They 130 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 7: were censoring Bobby because Bobby said, where's the science to 131 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 7: show us this and there wasn't any but people attacked 132 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 7: him and said, you you're wrong. So it's like, let's 133 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,679 Speaker 7: let's take a step back. I know that's your opinion, 134 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 7: and that's okay. 135 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 2: Well, actually, I mean I get like you always have 136 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 2: to go and that's your opinion, and that's okay. But 137 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: there are facts and it is true at the beginning 138 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 2: of COVID, and of course COVID is what really set 139 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: this country back in so many different ways. But the 140 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 2: conversation around COVID was related to the initial virus. The 141 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: COVID vaccine was treating this COVID virus at that moment 142 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: that could be treated and apparently, based on what I 143 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: was reading at the time, it could be treated effectively 144 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: with the vaccine. But the problem is, and the problem 145 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: continues to be that the mutations are coming so quickly 146 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: that the landscape of what vaccine has needed is changing 147 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: alongside those mutations, and it can't possibly keep up with 148 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: the mutations. So that became the problem. So this vaccine 149 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 2: that was so you remember at the time when the 150 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 2: vaccine first came out, everybody was trying to, you know, 151 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: you get some kind of medical cards. So they were 152 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: an essential worker, so they had to get one. I 153 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: mean that was kind of people are knocking each other 154 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: over to get to the vaccine because the promise was there, 155 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 2: and then the reality set in, and so the promise 156 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 2: became your experience with COVID won't be as bad if 157 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: you get the vaccine. 158 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 9: Well, maybe somebody could politely explain the scientific method to 159 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 9: Cheryl Hines and possibly her husband. As new information comes in, 160 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 9: you change your hypothesis, and that's not the same as disinformation. 161 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, and that's exactly what was happening. As Moore 162 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 2: was known about the vaccine and was known about the 163 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: disposition toward how it was transmitted, the advisories out of 164 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: official agencies of government changed. I thought one of the 165 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 2: great things Trump did in Season one of Trump was 166 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: that he ramped up that vaccine so quickly. I mean, 167 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: he threw government money at that vaccine. Was an operation 168 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: warp speed, they called it. I thought that was you 169 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: can take a victory lap on that. That was imprisonment. 170 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: And then somehow it became fraught with all the bs 171 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 2: around Fauci and then people like RFK Junior, and there 172 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 2: became a cottage industry in question the vaccine, and we 173 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 2: end up where we are now. 174 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 9: Well, studies have shown that the vaccine has saved tens 175 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 9: of millions of lives, and that's not really debatable. 176 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 4: And Trump advocated for it, and he I think received 177 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 4: it recently. 178 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: Yes, he got boosted. So, yeah, he got boosted ed. 179 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: He got the flu vacs. 180 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: What's good for the should be good for the gander. 181 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a weird kind of disconnect, but I 182 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: mean I think there's a wink wink with him on 183 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: a lot of stuff. 184 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 6: So I'm with Robert F. Kennedy Junior on this. 185 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 3: All right, Well you just like him because he's hot. 186 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 6: He is hot, and I'm a hippie. 187 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 2: Is Tuesday Night on KFI AM six forty. Mark Thompson 188 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 2: sitting in. We're Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Tuesday 189 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: Night on KFI AM six forty, Live Everywhere on the 190 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. Mark Thompson's sitting in on this Tuesday Night. 191 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: Kind of wild that the the media has pushed back 192 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 2: against the demands of the Pentagon to get everyone to 193 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 2: sign on to the this new press policy. Essentially, the 194 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: policies as follows, you can't report anything that we don't 195 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 2: give you officially from the Pentagon. In other words, you 196 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 2: can't work sources, you can't have connections at the Pentagon. 197 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 2: You can't talk to people and use anything in your 198 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 2: stories that doesn't come from the official mouthpiece of the Pentagon. 199 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 2: That's just not the way journalism is done. And no 200 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 2: one signed that among the higher profile press outlets, I'm 201 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 2: just looking Washington Posts, New York Times and other outlets 202 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: refusing to sign the Pentagon's press pledge. Now they said, 203 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: if you don't sign it, and the deadline was five 204 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: pm Eastern, we will take away your pass to get 205 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: onto the premises at the Pentagon. After months of restricted access, 206 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 2: the Pentagon issuing a longer memorand expanding the one page 207 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 2: form it's twenty one pages detailing security rules, following Hegseeth's 208 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: moves replacing outlets like mainstream outlets with one American news network. 209 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: They are the only crew one American news network that 210 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: signed this deal, this pledge. Washington Post executive editor Matt Murray, 211 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: New York Times Washington bureau chief Richard Stevenson said their 212 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 2: newsroom's not going to sign it, and Washington Post New 213 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 2: York Times had to say no. Critics saying that the 214 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: policy fits a broader pattern of restricting independent coverage, linking 215 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 2: the Trump administration's efforts to imperil First Amendment rights and 216 00:11:53,640 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 2: ignore the essential freedoms press freedoms that define this country. 217 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 2: So again, most news organizations refusing to sign that pledge 218 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: at the Pentagon. Meantime, of course, the countries closed down. 219 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 2: Government has shut down in about a fifth of the 220 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: Education Department laid off. They're using this moment to lay 221 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 2: off a lot of people in government, and most of 222 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 2: the layoffs at the Education Department are those working in 223 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 2: special ed. There's also funding for low income students, civil 224 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: rights enforcement. That's all going away. And again these aren't furloughs. 225 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 2: These are firings. About four hundred and sixty six workers 226 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: at the Education Department fired since Friday. It's grim times 227 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 2: in Washington. And the other thing I would just mention 228 00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 2: is this looks like it's going to go on for 229 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 2: a while. I was talking to friends in Washington and 230 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: they work adjacent to government, if you will. They said 231 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 2: they think it might go on conceivably into the Thanksgiving season. 232 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: And Donald Trump is talking about closing programs and shutting 233 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 2: down anything that is quote a Democrat program. He said, 234 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 2: his administration is closing up Democrat programs that we disagree 235 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 2: with and they're never going to open again. So two 236 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: weeks into this thing, there are a lot of closures 237 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 2: and a lot of layoffs and not a lot of 238 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 2: conversation going on between Democrats and Republicans. The idea President 239 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 2: Trump is articulated is we're going to hurt Democrats while 240 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 2: insulating Republicans from the costs of this crisis. And he 241 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 2: said today that we're going to give you a full 242 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 2: list of Democratic programs slated for cuts by Friday. And 243 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 2: you know, I think Mark was reporting on this that 244 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 2: the cuts extend here into California. I mean medical cuts, 245 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: psychiatric treatment, like if you go down a skied row. 246 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: There is no real program increasingly to help those people, right. 247 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 3: A lot of that money is federal aid. 248 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 2: So as this federal aid is canceled, and you know, 249 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: I think it affects some people's lives more than others. 250 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: Those that really need a handout and a hand up, 251 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: they'll be the ones most affected and first affected. The 252 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 2: problem for both parties and then for the rest of 253 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: the country is how this all shakes out and the politics, 254 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 2: the calculus of the politics is still being done, and 255 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: both sides think that they're winning. So that's what leads 256 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: to the kind of stalemate that's going to go on 257 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: potentially for a long time. Meantime, you've got people that 258 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: are forced to work. There are essential workers. I never 259 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 2: understood this. How can you call people who are air 260 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 2: traffic controllers essential workers? Force them to show up but 261 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 2: not pay them. It's outrageous. You're going to force that 262 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 2: guy to work? And I say guide generically men women 263 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: in the control Tower. The men and women who show 264 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 2: up at TSA. You're going to force them to go 265 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 2: to work, but you're not going to pay them until 266 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: the government reopens, and the government may not reopen until 267 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: after Thanksgiving. It's outrageous, it's criminal. I just don't see 268 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: how they get away with that. And as long as 269 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: these government sho are going to become a thing, you 270 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 2: got to work that out. I understand that Donald Trump 271 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 2: jackhammered some money out of the military and kind of 272 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 2: rearranged it so that some military people can get paid, 273 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: but that's not the only game in town. You've got 274 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: people who are essential workers. Look at the list. It's 275 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 2: a lot of people. It affects a lot of lives, 276 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: and I think it's unfair to make them come to 277 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 2: work and yet not pay them.

But all the emotion that's wrapped up 493 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 2: in Dancing with the Stars does spill over onto everybody 494 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 2: who has anything to do with this show. And Ilaria 495 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: Baldwin was one of the Alec Baldwin's wife, and I 496 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 2: guess she was eliminated and she feels that she was 497 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 2: bullied off the show. And so I have a little 498 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 2: bit of Ilaria as she speaks to the media, which 499 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 2: is the thing that you do once you get bullied 500 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 2: off Dancing with the Stars. 501 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 11: There's a big problem online right now. It's a big problem. 502 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 11: We don't see each other. We make enemies out of 503 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 11: each other. And I'm talking about my fellow woman. Women's 504 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 11: in humanity to women. 505 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 3: And we need to stop Pilotti. 506 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 12: I then went on to use World Mental Health Day 507 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 12: to address the quote very coordinated strategic bullying in an 508 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 12: October eleventh Instagram video. 509 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 13: I would be remiss if I didn't address the elephant 510 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 13: in the room, which is that there was some bullying 511 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 13: going on aimed at me over the past few weeks. 512 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 13: One of the most common things that people say to 513 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 13: me when they meet me, when they actually meet me, 514 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 13: is how surprised they are by negativity that I receive, 515 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 13: because in reality, I am none of the negative things 516 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 13: that some people say. 517 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 2: So she is Alec Baldwin's wife. I think they have 518 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 2: seven children, isn't that right, NICKI, you know about this 519 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 2: this kind of thing. Seven kids. There's a lot, a lot. 520 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 2: That would be the first thing I would ask about. 521 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 3: If I met her. And it breaks my heart. 522 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 13: Some of the people who have harassed me for years 523 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 13: and misrepresented. 524 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 6: And outright have lied about me. 525 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 13: I know that they'll only be satisfied when I'm gone. 526 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 13: It seems that nothing I can say or do will 527 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 13: be right in their eyes. I am always getting anything wrong, 528 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 13: and I'm too much and not enough. 529 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 2: I have to say this, I'm surprised with seven kids, 530 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 2: you could be so jacked up on yourself. 531 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 6: She's a bit of a crazy one. 532 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 8: Do you remember the whole how she faked that she 533 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 8: was Spanish but she's actually from Massachusetts. Yeah, she faked 534 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 8: her Spanish accent for years. 535 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 3: Well, even the subtle Spanish accent that she has going 536 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 3: right now. 537 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 6: Yes, Massachusetts, right. She was called the cucumber cucumba. 538 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 3: How do you say the cucumber? 539 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 6: How how you say cucumber? No, she's from like somewhere, 540 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 6: not even in Boston. 541 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's from suburban Massachusetts somewhere. But it's just remarkable. 542 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 2: But you're right, I mean, that's sort of that. That 543 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 2: was one drama. And then it's just astounding to me 544 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 2: that a mother of seven and could have anything on 545 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 2: her mind but her family, and she seems quite self absorbed. 546 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 12: By the negativity. The forty one year old is appreciative 547 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 12: to all of her supporters who helped her get cast 548 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 12: on the show. 549 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 13: I'm so grateful for this experience that I had on 550 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 13: Dancing with the Stars. 551 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 3: I never thought I would dance again. 552 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 13: And I have all of you to think for writing 553 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 13: into the show and making this wild experience happened. And 554 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 13: I'm so blessed that I got to share this with 555 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 13: my family. I loved everybody. I'm there, and I'm really 556 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 13: excited to cheer on my cast mats. 557 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 2: No, she tries to stick the landing there with some positivity, 558 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 2: but it just seems to me that I don't know. 559 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't want to begrudge anybody anything, like 560 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 2: you know, maybe she wants she was a dancer, she 561 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 2: gave it up. Whatever, she lives in the shadow of Alec. 562 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 2: Maybe that's tough, But it just seems seven kids is 563 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: a real commitment. I mean, when you have seven children, 564 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 2: you want a big family. But you'd think, as a 565 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: mother who wants a big family, you want to be 566 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 2: connected to that family more than social media and Dancing 567 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 2: with the Stars reaction. But you know, look, anyway she's 568 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 2: voted off, who's still there.

Yes, yeah, anybody 572 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 2: else that we know. Oh Andy Richter, I saw him 573 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 2: on there tonight. Was he not wearing a shirt? He 574 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 2: was wearing a pink shirt, which is just sort of 575 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 2: like you a pink shiny shirt. But no, he was. 576 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 2: He was shirted the whole time. But there were some Uh, 577 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 2: I mean, truly, I'm not exaggering.
