Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: Barack Obama's tenure is almost at end. He only has
Speaker 2: ten months left, which is a lot of time for humans,
Speaker 2: but you must understand in the American governments, that's barely
Speaker 2: enough time to have anything obstructed. Still, you can't argue
Speaker 2: with one thing. Obama made history as America's first black presidents,
Speaker 2: and that fact has been a cause for celebration for all,
Speaker 2: well most and Jordan Klepper has more.
Speaker 3: Under the Obama presidency, a segment of Americans have felt
Speaker 3: like second class citizens. Tragically, some have been marginalized their
Speaker 3: entire lives. I'm talking about white kids. What does it
Speaker 3: do to a young white child's dreams to have never
Speaker 3: seen themselves reflected in the nation's highest office.
Speaker 4: I want to know, guys, what do you want to
Speaker 4: be when you grow up?
Speaker 5: I want to be a stah e changer.
Speaker 4: A stock exchanger.
Speaker 6: I want to be a pizza man.
Speaker 3: A pizza man, Like, what's the what's the what's the
Speaker 3: coolest most powerful job? You can imagine yourself becoming probably.
Speaker 6: A singer plussecutor.
Speaker 5: I do want to work on History Channel.
Speaker 4: That's your biggest dream? Working on the History Channel.
Speaker 6: I'm so sad.
Speaker 3: Could these poor little crackers even imagine that a president
Speaker 3: could be white? I want you guys to draw what
Speaker 3: you think a president looks like. Try to find the
Speaker 3: colors that you think work best. Three two one reveal.
Speaker 3: I saw brown and brown and come on, kid, really
Speaker 3: a green president? What if I told you that a
Speaker 3: president could look like this?
Speaker 6: I can't.
Speaker 4: You need to see that, you get you can't.
Speaker 6: It's a white crayon.
Speaker 3: Imagine imagine a president could look white? Is what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: that we could have a white president.
Speaker 5: It's it's hard to be a president. You have to
Speaker 5: like do so many things.
Speaker 3: But Francesca, what I'm saying is that you could be president.
Speaker 4: You don't. You don't have to think you can't do it.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying that all white people are bad, but
Speaker 5: some of them are.
Speaker 3: I feel like this is this white self hatred where
Speaker 3: you don't think you can be great. Luckily, with Ben
Speaker 3: Carson dropping out of the race and Hillary and Donald
Speaker 3: leading the pack, there's a good chance the next president
Speaker 3: will be whiter than a game of ultimate Frisbee at
Speaker 3: Doubt Nabbey. This is an exciting time for you, guys.
Speaker 3: You guys have never known a white person in a
Speaker 3: position of power. I mean outside of like Congress and
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court, and I think most of the billionaires
Speaker 3: and actually most of superheroes I think are white, everybody
Speaker 3: who's played badman. Outside of that, you guys have barely
Speaker 3: known any white people in positions of power.
Speaker 7: The thing is, we.
Speaker 8: All need to as so all men are equal. So
Speaker 8: we have the dream of being president, and that's great.
Speaker 8: We should be president too.
Speaker 3: So saying white people can be presidents too, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: if we're at the point in our lives where we
Speaker 3: can have a white president, we might be able to
Speaker 3: one day have a white Oprah.
Speaker 4: The sky's the limit.
Speaker 3: And if I could get these milky white poindexters to
Speaker 3: sound presidential, maybe they'd actually start believing it. The only
Speaker 3: thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Speaker 9: We have to fear fear itself.
Speaker 4: Read my lips.
Speaker 10: No new taxes, read my lips, No new taxes.
Speaker 4: We're gonna build the best wall. We're gonna build the
Speaker 4: best wall. And who's gonna pay for it?
Speaker 9: And who's gonna pay for it?
Speaker 4: Mexico?
Speaker 3: Wait ah, Yes, we were teaching them a valuable lesson about.
Speaker 9: The color matters on the inside, waiting deformed faith. It
Speaker 9: doesn't matter. I can imagine a white president, I can
Speaker 9: imagine a black president.
Speaker 6: I can imagine anything.
Speaker 3: I'm a president mission accomplished, and soon enough, these kids
Speaker 3: will finally have a role model in the Oval Office
Speaker 3: they can look up to.
Speaker 4: Except for one small problem.
Speaker 5: I refuse to vote for Hillary Clinton because she broke
Speaker 5: the law. She used her own private computer to talk
Speaker 5: about governmental stuff, so she should get arrested.
Speaker 6: That is over.
Speaker 10: This is over.
Speaker 4: It's over.
Speaker 9: It doesn't matter anymore.
Speaker 6: It's not like she murdered somebody.
Speaker 11: Should we let everybody?
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe they just lean a little more to the right.
Speaker 8: Rubio, Cruise and Trump. I think they all act like
Speaker 8: a bunch of kids. They act like people in preschool.
Speaker 3: And you should know because you were in preschool, like
Speaker 3: what four years ago.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're fighting over a bunch of nothing. And if
Speaker 9: they want to do that, then then they should at
Speaker 9: least go to Jupiter or something.
Speaker 8: America's one of the biggest countries in the world. You
Speaker 8: don't want to act like a bunch of children when
Speaker 8: you want to become a president like that?
Speaker 3: Are you afraid a white president might mess it all up,
Speaker 3: and we'll only have black per from now on.
Speaker 6: It depends which white president.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, get ready for Cory Booker in twenty twenty.
Speaker 12: As the Culture Wars ripped through America, one thing that
Speaker 12: always comes up is the children.
Speaker 11: We have one job, and that's to protect our children.
Speaker 11: Protecting children from you know.
Speaker 13: Sexual indoctrination, critical race theory, things like that.
Speaker 8: Banning books, especially these books, endangers our children.
Speaker 14: But as the father of a child about to start school,
Speaker 14: I wanted to know about how they felt about the
Speaker 14: Culture Wars, and more importantly, I look, you wanted to
Speaker 14: know if they thought I was cool. So instead of
Speaker 14: tweeting about the kids, I decided to talk to them.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, but I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit older, and there's a lot Okay, you have
Speaker 1: to let that part. There's a lot of stuff that
Speaker 1: I'm not aware of. So I'm gonna name something and
Speaker 1: then you tell me what you think about it. Adults
Speaker 1: are arguing a lot right now about what you should
Speaker 1: be learning, what subjects you should be taught, what books
Speaker 1: you should be reading. But we never asked you, how
Speaker 1: do you feel about school? What are your favorite books?
Speaker 1: What books are you guys reading right now?
Speaker 15: I love like racial justice books because I feel like
Speaker 15: I can relate to that a lot, like they hate
Speaker 15: you give or like blended.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about people wanting to ban those books?
Speaker 15: Not good, because like I feel like you need to
Speaker 15: This is It's what's happening in the world right now.
Speaker 15: Like racial injustice is happening right now, and these books
Speaker 15: are about racial injustice, so people need to learn about
Speaker 15: it if they want to do something about it.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like your teachers are trying to indoctrinate you?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: Do you know what the word indoctrinate means? Brentley, let's
Speaker 1: talk about this. Thoughts on the president and the Kurt administration.
Speaker 6: I think it's good.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 6: I feel like he's a lot better than Chump in
Speaker 6: my opinion. Sure, I feel like he's not the best president.
Speaker 9: We've definitely have Benu presidents, but he's a big step
Speaker 9: up from Chrump.
Speaker 1: What about this era feels different from other presidential.
Speaker 6: He's definitely older than other presidents.
Speaker 1: How old is too old to be president?
Speaker 17: Too old to be president is an age where you're
Speaker 17: scared that you might not live to see the next
Speaker 17: day because a country is depending on you to run them. Also,
Speaker 17: as long as you don't have any like mental health problems,
Speaker 17: like say you have dementia and you're sort of losing
Speaker 17: your memory.
Speaker 6: A little bit.
Speaker 17: Yeah, and people with dementia, they're perfectly good people, but
Speaker 17: they're probably not the best kind of person to run
Speaker 17: a country because they might not remember everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're eerily describing what Joseph ar Biden is going
Speaker 1: through right now now. Sometimes people say when you criticize
Speaker 1: people of a certain age that are that could be ageist. Hey,
Speaker 1: you can't do that because of your age, But that
Speaker 1: happens all the time with you. Yes, people tell you
Speaker 1: can't do things because of your age. What's something adults
Speaker 1: tell you that's agis?
Speaker 9: I feel like it's always like something to do with
Speaker 9: when I go to bed?
Speaker 1: What time is your bedtime?
Speaker 9: Mosta like eight forty five that's what they wanted to be.
Speaker 9: But I feel like there's like study of this show,
Speaker 9: like you only need eight hours of sweep?
Speaker 1: What would be what would be the time that you want?
Speaker 1: Give me a time, let's pitch, let's work this out.
Speaker 1: What time do you want to go to.
Speaker 6: Sleep only like thirty mites aftway.
Speaker 1: Let's try it. I'm gonna be your dad, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you to go to bed, and you tell me, Quinn,
Speaker 1: go to bed, young man. It's eight forty seven pm.
Speaker 6: That's ages.
Speaker 1: I like that. A lot of the things that I'm
Speaker 1: talking about right now, you don't have a lot of
Speaker 1: control over, but there is something you do control culture.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about pop culture.
Speaker 5: Elon Musk billionaire, he owns Desk and SpaceX, Twitter, I
Speaker 5: mean Twitter.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you think he's doing a good job running Twitter? Quinn,
Speaker 1: how are you feeling about I.
Speaker 9: Think he's gonna get pretty badly because he did a
Speaker 9: bunch of stuff that's not good, right, Yeah, have a
Speaker 9: bunch of things and tried to just make the much.
Speaker 6: Money out of it.
Speaker 9: But he actually lost a lot of money while he
Speaker 9: got Twitter and the stocks went down a lot.
Speaker 1: What would you do if you were him to turn
Speaker 1: it around?
Speaker 6: Sell it to a bigger company for decent place.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think he's lost a lot of the money though, because.
Speaker 6: It's like giving up. No, no, he kills about it anymore?
Speaker 1: Got it? Taylor Swift, hero.
Speaker 15: Icon villain, I think her music is awesome, amazing, I
Speaker 15: don't really love her as a person.
Speaker 1: What about her as a person?
Speaker 7: That was just like, no, I don't know.
Speaker 15: She just doesn't sit right with me.
Speaker 1: I guess, Okay, any other thoughts on t Swift?
Speaker 17: I don't really know a lot about her, and I
Speaker 17: don't want to say things about topics I don't know about.
Speaker 6: So that's all I really know.
Speaker 1: So you're just saying if you don't know about something,
Speaker 1: you'll just say, hey, I don't know, or I don't
Speaker 1: have an opinion about that. It's really refreshing, bad bunny?
Speaker 1: What what does that mean?
Speaker 18: I love him, but I don't think my age should
Speaker 18: be listening to it. If you if you don't understand Spanish,
Speaker 18: then it's like, okay, it's really good.
Speaker 7: But if you.
Speaker 6: Understand it, yeah, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 15: Yeah, there's there's lots of artists whose music is really good,
Speaker 15: but their person them is a person themselves is not great.
Speaker 1: So how do you resolve that? What do you guys do?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 1: How do you come to terms with that?
Speaker 6: I listened to.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do and you know what, You're gonna keep
Speaker 1: dealing with this even as an adult and they're gonna
Speaker 1: write think pieces about it, and there's gonna be no
Speaker 1: real solution.
Speaker 17: I mean, even with like movies and actors who are
Speaker 17: probably not the best people, you can still enjoy their
Speaker 17: work and not appreciate the bad things that they have done.
Speaker 1: Got it, Yeah, I can.
Speaker 7: Definitely agree with that.
Speaker 10: Like, so, I personally am like a superhero fan yea,
Speaker 10: And the Flash Cheeser Grub was released, right, and there's
Speaker 10: like a lot of controversy around Ezra Miller and like
Speaker 10: what he's done, but like the movie itself looks really good,
Speaker 10: so you have to be.
Speaker 7: Able to respect that.
Speaker 1: This all sounds like very reasonable, nuanced opinions. I suggest
Speaker 1: you never put that opinion on Twitter. Yeah, it sounds like,
Speaker 1: you know, you are understanding that the world is a complicated,
Speaker 1: great place and things aren't as binary as you think.
Speaker 1: And I'm just giving you fair warning from the future.
Speaker 1: People aren't gonna want to hear that. So are you
Speaker 1: gonna go to the movie?
Speaker 10: I might just kind of wait until it goes on
Speaker 10: streaming something like that, probably, got it?
Speaker 1: Is that because of Ezra or just because just because I.
Speaker 7: Mean, I'm not sure that I want to go to
Speaker 7: the movie. For that or it's just I'm kind of
Speaker 7: more of like a stay at home type of guy.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, when you're a member of society, you have
Speaker 1: to pay taxes. How much should you pay taxes? Like
Speaker 1: what percentage?
Speaker 17: It should really depend on, Like if you're a billionaire
Speaker 17: and like you pay less taxes.
Speaker 1: Than what about you personally? Like if you had a
Speaker 1: fruit by the foot, how much of that fruit by
Speaker 1: the foot should go to the government and how much
Speaker 1: should belong to you?
Speaker 7: Maybe like below twenty five? Below twenty five, yes, twenty
Speaker 7: five and below.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the candy caman island over here, you got it
Speaker 1: like a little place where.
Speaker 7: You're twenty five at most, I would say, I think below.
Speaker 1: There's a fruit by the foot. Okay, Quinn, let's talk
Speaker 1: about it. You're a member of society. You're gonna get
Speaker 1: a paycheck one day. You're gonna see a number on it.
Speaker 1: It's called gross. But that's not gross. You know it's gross.
Speaker 1: The number below it, it's called net. There's another thing
Speaker 1: called fika. That's what's making your net happen. We can
Speaker 1: get into that later, but it's really gonna fica. You
Speaker 1: over now, looking at this fruit by the foot. How
Speaker 1: much would the government get.
Speaker 6: Quinn, probably like.
Speaker 1: Thirty percent. Ste up to hear.
Speaker 7: I say it's like thirty lower lower.
Speaker 1: You want to lower, sofia, No, I think that's like.
Speaker 10: Thirty or twenty five thirty twenty five years.
Speaker 1: So nothing over forty percent, nothing over forty. Oh forty
Speaker 1: is way too much.
Speaker 11: Wait, no, I'm learning this in math. No way, forty
Speaker 11: is a.
Speaker 14: Past forty Right here, it's forty, But that goes That
Speaker 14: goes to schools, roads.
Speaker 15: Oh that makes you feel guilty.
Speaker 1: Now you feel guilty, right, It depends on your income.
Speaker 1: You want to be an active participant and a good
Speaker 1: participant in a society. It's got to match what was
Speaker 1: happening in the seventies and eighties. We're gonna go eighty percent.
Speaker 1: That's yours. This is yours. This goes to schools, roads, highways,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Now, if you take this, you're a good person.
Speaker 1: But if you don't, you're a part of the problem.
Speaker 1: This is something a lot of men in their thirties
Speaker 1: talk about feelings. How do you process things when you're
Speaker 1: sad or angry?
Speaker 6: I kind of get mad at my parents.
Speaker 9: When I get mad at them, I kind of don't
Speaker 9: like him, and I only go to my room, But
Speaker 9: like they'll come in and they always think they're right,
Speaker 9: so they're never gonna apologize.
Speaker 18: They want to be right when sometimes they're not right,
Speaker 18: Like they just can't say sorry sometimes.
Speaker 1: But if parents said sorry, then that means parents and
Speaker 1: children are equal. Well, you can't have that.
Speaker 11: You can't.
Speaker 1: Do you have any advice for just like a hypothetical
Speaker 1: adult that sometimes feels overwhelmed and at times doesn't believe
Speaker 1: in themselves and think they're not good enough.
Speaker 9: It like take a blake, go do something fun with
Speaker 9: some people you know, and then try to go back
Speaker 9: to it and try to go out and see your
Speaker 9: friends are your friends?
Speaker 1: What if the hypothetical person is thirty seven years old
Speaker 1: and men of that age don't really hang out with
Speaker 1: one another.
Speaker 10: I would say this hypothetical person, if you're trying to
Speaker 10: like convoy your feelings without feeling any pressure, maybe you
Speaker 10: should seek a therapist for that. If you're trying to
Speaker 10: express your feelings, you.
Speaker 18: Need like an outlet or something that just distracts you
Speaker 18: from all the problems. And then that adds up to
Speaker 18: when you feel comfortable to express your feelings. To other
Speaker 18: people like a therapist.
Speaker 1: I'm sad. I'm sad. They're sad. They are sad. What's
Speaker 1: what are you most scared of?
Speaker 6: I'm actually a y scared of death and what happens after.
Speaker 9: Yes, and I'm also scared of like gusting spiders.
Speaker 1: What scares you most about death?
Speaker 18: Sofian, I like think about it so much at night
Speaker 18: because when I'm at night, like, I just think about it.
Speaker 18: And then like I f like, when you when you die,
Speaker 18: how does it feel the process of dying? And then
Speaker 18: when you die? Is it just like a blink screen
Speaker 18: or like or is there like another life or you're
Speaker 18: gonna be like walking through a tunnel? Is their heaven
Speaker 18: or how?
Speaker 1: I'm like, jab, are you scared of death?
Speaker 7: Uh? Kind? I used to be.
Speaker 10: I used to be like extremely scared, but then I
Speaker 10: kind of like got over the fear, peace support for
Speaker 10: my family.
Speaker 7: It wasn't that bad though.
Speaker 10: I'm pretty sure there's a study that's shown like someone
Speaker 10: they were like dying or something and they were like
Speaker 10: there was a like a piece of technology connected to
Speaker 10: their brain and sure that they were like reliving their
Speaker 10: entire life at their death.
Speaker 1: Wait, what great are you when again. Uh six sixth?
Speaker 1: Why are you having this nuanced perspective? Java? Why?
Speaker 10: I guess that's just my personality.
Speaker 1: Are the things adults tell you that you're like, no way,
Speaker 1: I don't believe that.
Speaker 9: Sometimes, Like when they said something when I was younger,
Speaker 9: I thought they were lying.
Speaker 1: Like what what did they say that? You're like, that's
Speaker 1: not true.
Speaker 18: If you bore your eyes toom, we're just gonna get
Speaker 18: stuck up there.
Speaker 1: I used to cross my eyes. I would do it
Speaker 1: like as a jogo. Yeah, and then my teacher like,
Speaker 1: your eyes stuck that way exactly?
Speaker 6: Is that not true? Wait? I thought that would actually happen.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, what's up?
Speaker 10: So as I know if your parents ever told you
Speaker 10: when you turned the car like the car laid on
Speaker 10: like that, it's illegal to leave it on. Yeah, I
Speaker 10: found out it's not illegal.
Speaker 1: How did you find out?
Speaker 6: You just?
Speaker 10: I saw it on like YouTube. I'm like, what the heck?
Speaker 4: Wait?
Speaker 1: Are you distrapped? Mallory talks to me.
Speaker 15: I thought everything I said was true. Like I thought
Speaker 15: my eyes would get stuck that way. I thought my
Speaker 15: eyes would never come back around.
Speaker 1: Wait? Is this like an internal dad conspiracy thing where
Speaker 1: they're all telling each other. Real quick, raise your hands.
Speaker 1: If your parents limit your screen time only on moveing day,
Speaker 1: does that make you upset? Quinn?
Speaker 6: Well, they failed, so I this is down. I tune
Speaker 6: it off.
Speaker 1: Wait no, but you have to put in a password
Speaker 1: to get around the screen.
Speaker 6: Time walk I just stump out.
Speaker 1: I thought it's supposed to be Wow, good.
Speaker 6: Proof it's not.
Speaker 9: So there's this app kids Walks, and it's the easiest thing.
Speaker 9: You turn off the settings, can go to VPN and
Speaker 9: then you go to you see it and you take
Speaker 9: it off.
Speaker 1: Your parents don't don't know that you cracked the kid's locks.
Speaker 6: Well now they don't.
Speaker 1: Okay, real quick, raise your hands. If you have an iPad, everyone,
Speaker 1: hands down, raise your hand right now. If you could
Speaker 1: trade in your dad for a brand new iPad? No, okay, no,
Speaker 1: the twelve point nine inch.
Speaker 19: One No no, no, Why then my dad he can
Speaker 19: pay for my iPad if he alady bought an iPad.
Speaker 1: For Wait oh, because he can pay for an iPad,
Speaker 1: So you keep that around because he is a financial
Speaker 1: source of other.
Speaker 6: No, that's not the one any reason.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about social media. Are we on social media? TikTok? Instagram, Facebook, Twitter,
Speaker 1: I feel.
Speaker 6: Like Twitter is I think it's old people.
Speaker 15: Yea turn into like you know, like Facebook, like dive
Speaker 15: is kind of like dying Twitter.
Speaker 10: Twitter has a more It's kind of known for being
Speaker 10: more toxic. I feel like having more toxic or something
Speaker 10: like that. Yeah, yeah, it's very toxict.
Speaker 1: What is toxic mean?
Speaker 18: It's someone that like doesn't like like you and they
Speaker 18: kind of point out like maybe some insecurities about you
Speaker 18: and stuff, or talk bad about him.
Speaker 10: Yeah, kind of like saying negative things, being negative towards
Speaker 10: other people.
Speaker 1: Could you survive if someone took your phone?
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, entirely because I'm yeah, I don't have my
Speaker 5: phone right now, because there's like so many other things
Speaker 5: you can do, just like outside your phone, just like activities.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm what what does that mean? Why?
Speaker 18: I feel like my phone? It's just like it's like
Speaker 18: if I need help, I could call the police police.
Speaker 17: My dad is obsessed with Twitter.
Speaker 1: Do you think Twitter's good for him?
Speaker 17: Maybe a little less would be good, But I don't
Speaker 17: think it's getting out of hand?
Speaker 1: Got it? Do you want to join Twitter based on
Speaker 1: the way your dad uses it?
Speaker 10: Not?
Speaker 7: Really?
Speaker 17: I don't have much interest in social media.
Speaker 1: Are your parents on the phone too much?
Speaker 9: I feel like my dad always says I'm on the
Speaker 9: phone too much, but kind of every time I look
Speaker 9: at him, he's always on a slack or something.
Speaker 6: I just don't get off your.
Speaker 1: Phone, Dad, Get it off your chest. This is your
Speaker 1: chance to tell us off. Go to that camera and
Speaker 1: just tell them what's up.
Speaker 9: Get off your phone, Dad, need to maintain a better
Speaker 9: will life balance.
Speaker 12: You heard him, parents, stop watching this on your phone
Speaker 12: and go hang out with your kids.
Speaker 13: In the last few decades, women.
Speaker 11: Have made big strides in the workplace.
Speaker 13: We're no longer getting harassed while wearing big, ugly shoulder pads.
Speaker 11: It's twenty twenty three.
Speaker 13: Now we're getting harassed while wearing super cool big shoulder pads.
Speaker 13: Needless to say, corporate women still face challenges.
Speaker 16: When it comes to the CEOs of the largest companies,
Speaker 16: women are still vastly underrepresented. There are currently thirty eight
Speaker 16: female CEOs at the S and P five hundred, and
Speaker 16: women CEOs are forty five percent more likely to be
Speaker 16: fired than their male counterparts. There's also evidence that women
Speaker 16: who are appointed to the top job aren't necessarily set
Speaker 16: up for success. High level women are often promoted during
Speaker 16: a time of crisis. It's a phenomenon called the glass cliff.
Speaker 20: Women who negotiate are sixty seven percent more likely than
Speaker 20: women who don't receive feedback that their personal style is intimidating,
Speaker 20: to aggressive or bossy.
Speaker 21: When women have a child, their earnings decline for each
Speaker 21: child by four percent. Wow, whereas men there's a fatherhood
Speaker 21: bonus and they actually earn more when they have children.
Speaker 11: It's called a motherhood penalty. That's right.
Speaker 13: It's it's really hard to be a woman in the
Speaker 13: corporate world. And they didn't even mention the fact that
Speaker 13: the office is always so freaking cold, So no wonder
Speaker 13: women have to work harder.
Speaker 11: It's the only thing that will keep us warm.
Speaker 13: With all the challenges women are facing in the workplace,
Speaker 13: I thought it was important to offer some mentorship to
Speaker 13: the next generation of female leaders.
Speaker 11: Take a look. Hi everybody. Hi, my name is Deasi, and.
Speaker 13: Today I'm going to tell you how to climb your
