Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central from New York City, the
Speaker 1: only city in America. It's the show that infected News.
Speaker 2: It's The Daily Show with your host Nnessee Lighting and
Speaker 2: Jordany Clapper.
Speaker 3: Welcome to The Hailey Show.
Speaker 4: I'm Jesse Lightning and I'm Jordan Clapper, world co hosting tonight. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and of course it is the night before Thanksgiving, so
Speaker 4: that could only mean one thing.
Speaker 3: Neither of us wanted to see our family go.
Speaker 1: We got a great show. So let's get into headlines.
Speaker 5: Let's kick things.
Speaker 3: Off with some news about cryptocurrent and see historically it's
Speaker 3: the best investment if you're looking to have your money
Speaker 3: stolen by a guy whose mattress is one hundred percent
Speaker 3: for sure on the floor. But now there's one less
Speaker 3: place for Americans to trade it.
Speaker 5: This morning, another major blow to the cryptocurrency industry as
Speaker 5: the leader of the world's largest crypto exchange pleads guilty
Speaker 5: to multiple US violations, including money laundering.
Speaker 6: The FEDS accused Binance and its CEO, Changpeng Joo, of
Speaker 6: processing more than one hundred thousand transactions by child abusers,
Speaker 6: cyber criminals, and even terrorists.
Speaker 5: Joo has agreed to pay.
Speaker 6: More than four billion dollars in fines and step down
Speaker 6: as CEO, and Binance will no longer do business within
Speaker 6: the US.
Speaker 3: WHA, No, you're telling me that crypto guy was shady.
Speaker 1: The crypto guy was shady, so weird.
Speaker 3: He was so nice when he sold me the weapons
Speaker 3: on the black market.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of shot, you know.
Speaker 4: But you know, there is that one thing that you
Speaker 4: always say, Oh, that's.
Speaker 3: Right, the one thing.
Speaker 5: What is it? Oh?
Speaker 3: Oh, everyone in crypto is shady. Have you ever talked
Speaker 3: to someone who's into crypto and thought to yourself, Wow,
Speaker 3: what an upstanding human citizen. I definitely would prefer talking
Speaker 3: to them rather than shooting myself in the face. But yes,
Speaker 3: Binance is going to have to shut down in the US,
Speaker 3: which could jeopardize any American who has money there. To
Speaker 3: be fair, if you're a non criminal who's lost money
Speaker 3: in this, that's on you, because at this point, investing
Speaker 3: in crypto is like playing r Kelly at your wedding.
Speaker 5: You should know.
Speaker 3: It's not a good choice.
Speaker 4: I gotta say I saw this coming from a mile away.
Speaker 4: I knew this company sounded fishy from the moment I
Speaker 4: heard its name.
Speaker 3: The name binance alone. It it sounds like a four
Speaker 3: year old trying to say finance.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like a woke economics course, Oberlin.
Speaker 1: I haven't really picked a currency. I'm more financial.
Speaker 3: Basically a guy with a fake mustache trying to get
Speaker 3: away with something. Are you guys doing finance?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 3: No, we do binance with money?
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, thank you.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna leave my money in the real banks where
Speaker 4: nothing bad ever happens. Moving on to President, Biden pulls
Speaker 4: show that he's not doing well with young people, who
Speaker 4: apparently find him suss mid and deficient in rids, all
Speaker 4: words I a young person know quite well. But Biden
Speaker 4: has a new policy to win them back.
Speaker 7: Biden administration wants to eliminate so called cord cutting fees.
Speaker 7: It would be done through a new proposed rule from
Speaker 7: the FCC, which would require cable and satellite TV operators
Speaker 7: to get rid of those early termination fees for subscribers.
Speaker 7: The agency says those fees really limit a customer's ability
Speaker 7: to choose the service they want.
Speaker 4: Well, okay, so so Biden wants to make it easier
Speaker 4: for people to cancel cable.
Speaker 3: This is a bad idea, and I am not just
Speaker 3: saying that because we're on cable.
Speaker 1: No, absolutely not.
Speaker 4: You're saying it because cable is the lifeblood of the
Speaker 4: American experience. Cable is about family, tradition.
Speaker 3: The Bible, the Constitution.
Speaker 4: Have a four to one ks for the on air hosts.
Speaker 4: You know, we get that, right, Yeah, we do.
Speaker 1: We do nice.
Speaker 3: These fees are essential. I mean you can't just get
Speaker 3: rid of no.
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, maybe we even double them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or canceling cable should just be illegal. Maybe the
Speaker 3: death penalty is that too much?
Speaker 1: It's not too much. Definitely not too much.
Speaker 3: I don't even think we should be talking about this
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 1: I don't think we should talk about it today.
Speaker 3: That let's move on, Okay, let's move on to some
Speaker 3: public safety news. Recent studies show that women are more
Speaker 3: likely to be hurt in car crashes, and Jordan the
Speaker 3: is obvious.
Speaker 4: Women are bad drivers. What you said, it's what you said.
Speaker 4: It's sexism.
Speaker 3: Sexism, Yeah, sexism. And now the auto industry is finally
Speaker 3: starting to do something about it.
Speaker 8: When it comes to designing crash test dummies, researchers say
Speaker 8: it's time to get smarter.
Speaker 1: This is the average female.
Speaker 8: Engineers in Sweden have developed a dummy based on a
Speaker 8: woman's body.
Speaker 4: More narrower shoulder area and a wider hip area.
Speaker 8: It's also lighter and has a lower center of gravity,
Speaker 8: all things experts say are important to consider when testing
Speaker 8: collisions at high speeds.
Speaker 3: Wow, what a surprise. The cars are designed to be
Speaker 3: safe for crash test dummies, and the dummies are designed
Speaker 3: to represent men's bodies. Although to be fair, it's not
Speaker 3: just the dummies. The study also revealed that right before
Speaker 3: a crash, men tends up, while women usually whisper. Sorry, sorry, sorry,
Speaker 3: sorry sorry. I will say I'm glad they're finally making
Speaker 3: changes to the dummies. But if we were worried about accuracy,
Speaker 3: let's go all the way with this. Why not fill
Speaker 3: the car with half eaten takeout containers and a hockey
Speaker 3: stick that was left in the back seat for the
Speaker 3: last three months, no matter how many times you told
Speaker 3: them to bring it in the fucking house. Let's see
Speaker 3: what happens when that hits the wall at sixty miles
Speaker 3: an hour. Sorry, Jordan, it's been a tough week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no worries. Thanks again for driving me to hockey practice.
Speaker 5: Yeah no product.
Speaker 3: So thanks to the scientists and congrats on designing a
Speaker 3: mannequin that men won't dream about having sex with.
Speaker 4: Right, right, right, totally, totally, totally definitely, so spot on
Speaker 4: spot on, spot off spot.
Speaker 1: Can we move on? Please?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The Holidays are coming up and that means the start
Speaker 4: of a decade old tradition.
Speaker 1: That's it. I went on location to watch it happen.
Speaker 4: America has had its share of intractable wars, but Fox
Speaker 4: News has been tracking one forever war.
Speaker 1: In particular, it's a war on Christmas.
Speaker 2: The War on Christmas.
Speaker 5: The War on Christmas to the War on.
Speaker 1: Christmas, and there's no end each side.
Speaker 9: Now it feels like the War on Christmas is coming
Speaker 9: earlier and earlier every year.
Speaker 3: So we came to the Fox News All American Christmas
Speaker 3: Tree Lighting Show to talk to people about how they're
Speaker 3: surviving the War on Christmas.
Speaker 10: I don't feel like there's a war on Christmas, and
Speaker 10: I think if there was a war on Christmas, Christmas
Speaker 10: move one.
Speaker 3: Are you familiar with the war on Christmas? I've heard
Speaker 3: of it, but I don't really think it's actually a thing.
Speaker 1: So are you serious? People can't say Merry Christmas anymore?
Speaker 3: If I say Merry Christmas and my neighbor ten times
Speaker 3: in a row.
Speaker 11: It looks at me like I'm crazy. Do you think
Speaker 11: that this tree.
Speaker 3: Lighting ceremony is so much smaller this year because Fox
Speaker 3: lost so much money in the dominion lawsuit?
Speaker 5: That's very possible, but I haven't really heard a lot
Speaker 5: of fun into that.
Speaker 2: Are you at all worried?
Speaker 11: That's on me?
Speaker 4: No tree lighting sae everybody next year when smart metic
Speaker 4: comes in and takes the rest of the cat. Not really, no,
Speaker 4: No the hell people even know it's Christmas. Outside of
Speaker 4: those Christmas decorations and those Christmas.
Speaker 1: And those.
Speaker 3: There's a Sanna.
Speaker 4: Finally, we spoke to some civilians who truly have experienced the.
Speaker 1: Noug of war. Fox has talked a lot about how there.
Speaker 8: Is a war on Christmas.
Speaker 5: I think there is.
Speaker 1: If I were to say happy Holidays, how would that
Speaker 1: make you feel?
Speaker 2: I might correct you.
Speaker 4: Some people talk about saying happy Holidays. Pot is really
Speaker 4: proud about saying Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1: They say there's a war on Christmas.
Speaker 2: There is.
Speaker 1: There's a war on Christmas.
Speaker 8: I believe we look around you, look at all the businesses,
Speaker 8: look at the corporations that have you know, not allowed
Speaker 8: you to say that.
Speaker 6: I think that people are scared to speak up about
Speaker 6: their Christianity, about their faith.
Speaker 3: Sure, there is a war on Christmas, and the group
Speaker 3: facing the most vitriol, for sure are Christians.
Speaker 1: I think Christians specifically, guess right now, right.
Speaker 3: Now, but it is defending Christmas enough to put them
Speaker 3: on saying as nice list? Or does Saint Nick reconsider
Speaker 3: when Fox News hosts say things.
Speaker 4: Like this, I want to say something about Arab Americans.
Speaker 1: We've had it with them.
Speaker 3: Okay, so not your nice Someone at Box News said
Speaker 3: we've had it with them, referencing Eric's in general, not
Speaker 3: just nice. So Jessie Waters will be in a nice
Speaker 3: nice category, maybe.
Speaker 11: Because I'm a New Yorker and I'm pretty you know,
Speaker 11: use this stuff, used.
Speaker 1: To stuff, and now I've been mom, keep your mind. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so that's like led to an.
Speaker 4: Irrational hour that you already project down to an entire
Speaker 4: group of people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got the five right here. Judge, not your nice, nice,
Speaker 1: nice good judge. He sees the world. Ye call it
Speaker 1: that she sees that exactly.
Speaker 4: That lady knows a way around exactly a bar a bar,
Speaker 4: not your nice Fox News nice, nice, nice nice. Yes,
Speaker 4: what about when they lied to the American people about
Speaker 4: the election results? That's naughty.
Speaker 1: That's no, that is naughty.
Speaker 3: We can acknowledge that's naughty.
Speaker 1: What overall Fox News nice nice makes mistakes. We all
Speaker 1: make mistakes.
Speaker 4: Who hasn't threatened the entire nation's trust in democracy?
Speaker 3: We'll start one moment for ninety one.
Speaker 4: We finally arrived at the moment to declare mission accomplished.
Speaker 1: All the War of Christmas three two one.
Speaker 5: Until next year.
Speaker 1: When we come back, We're gonna report from John as
Speaker 1: a double away.
Speaker 3: We've opened up our guests here the shows. Who are
Speaker 3: our guests? We've discovered that not all people are terrible,
Speaker 3: So now we're inviting some of our new not terrible
Speaker 3: friends back in a new segment we call in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Hey, what's help us up? Everybody?
Speaker 12: I'm John Leguizamo, and Yo, it's great to be back
Speaker 12: at the Daily Show.
Speaker 11: For two reasons. One, you guys got the best snacks.
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, I mean I could buy my own snacks,
Speaker 12: but they taste way better when they're free, except for
Speaker 12: that dried seaweed that always tastes like a flounders butthole.
Speaker 12: But more importantly, I came back because something is.
Speaker 11: Pissing me off.
Speaker 10: Univisa, you own face and growing backlash after giving Donald
Speaker 10: Trump the royal treatment. Last week, the network hosted a
Speaker 10: very friendly, our long exclusive interview with Trump that his
Speaker 10: son in law, Jared Kushner, helped arrange.
Speaker 11: I'd mother meal.
Speaker 12: I don't know what's more shocking that Univision gave Trump
Speaker 12: a softball interview or that Trump led a Latin guy
Speaker 12: into his house. How did that happen? What do he
Speaker 12: think he was there to mow the lawn? But yeah,
Speaker 12: journalist Enrique A. Sevedo interviewed Donald Trump for Univision Now.
Speaker 12: For decades, Univision has been the channel that Latinos have
Speaker 12: trusted for news, whether it's news about the.
Speaker 11: World or news about a sexy lady minor will he
Speaker 11: took off against the most powerful woman in town for
Speaker 11: a more.
Speaker 12: And don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with Univision
Speaker 12: interviewing Trump. In fact, I thought it would be dope
Speaker 12: opportunity to confront him on his hardline anti Latino policy.
Speaker 12: But instead of an interview worthy of Univision, we saw
Speaker 12: this ca Camerda, The.
Speaker 2: New York Times Enapole came out this week. It has
Speaker 2: you with forty two percent.
Speaker 1: Of Latino voters support.
Speaker 9: That's unprecedented for our Republican candidate.
Speaker 2: What do you think the message voters are sending with
Speaker 2: his numbers? It's a forty two percent, Like I was saying,
Speaker 2: I unpresidented for our Republican candidate.
Speaker 1: What do you think voters are responding to your message?
Speaker 2: Do you think the voter is now more secure because.
Speaker 12: Of that relationship and the partnership you've been able to
Speaker 12: build with Mexico.
Speaker 7: More and more Latinos are identifying themselves as conservatives.
Speaker 2: Why do you think that is?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 12: Wait, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but those are your questions
Speaker 12: to the guy who might be the next president, mister Trunk,
Speaker 12: Why why are you so beloved by the Latino community?
Speaker 12: I mean, I was expecting this guy's follow up question
Speaker 12: to be is it true that to look upon your
Speaker 12: penis it would be like, I don't know, gazing into
Speaker 12: the very face of God.
Speaker 1: I mean, no charity, how big? Easy?
Speaker 11: Tell them, tell you to start, tell me to start
Speaker 11: and yo.
Speaker 12: Just to be clear, we Latinos are not a monolith.
Speaker 12: There are some of us that do support Trump and
Speaker 12: my family. We refer to him as the crazy uncle
Speaker 12: who doesn't get invited to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: But that's just my house.
Speaker 12: But as a news organization for the Latino community, Univision
Speaker 12: has a responsibility to fully report what a second Trump
Speaker 12: presidency could mean for them, and the truth.
Speaker 11: Is that that shit is mad scary.
Speaker 13: We have learned so much more about Trump's proposal for
Speaker 13: a twenty twenty five agenda, particularly when it comes to immigration.
Speaker 13: It's plan would essentially call for building detention camps for
Speaker 13: migrants who are rounded up around the country to be
Speaker 13: held at until they are deported. This is an extreme
Speaker 13: escalator from what we saw in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 9: Among his promises mass deportations, ending birthright citizenship, and denine
Speaker 9: entry to legal immigrants based on their ideological beliefs.
Speaker 12: We will begin the largest domestic deportation operation.
Speaker 1: In American history.
Speaker 11: And nobody has any idea where these people are coming from.
Speaker 11: And we know they come from prisons, We know they
Speaker 11: come from mental.
Speaker 5: Institutions, insane asylums.
Speaker 3: We know they are terrorists.
Speaker 11: It's poisoning the.
Speaker 1: Blood of our country.
Speaker 12: Wait wait, wait, what Latino immigrants are poisoning the blood
Speaker 12: of our country, mother, What are you talking about?
Speaker 11: Your blood is ninety nine percent big Mac.
Speaker 12: Also also, wait, did he really say immigrants are coming
Speaker 12: from insane asylums? That's not what getting granted asylum means, moron.
Speaker 12: And by the way, birthright citizenship is in the Constitution,
Speaker 12: just so you know. And I know most Republicans stop
Speaker 12: reading after the Second Amendment, but stick around because that
Speaker 12: fourteenth m That shit gets good. So the question is
Speaker 12: why would Univision avoid asking Trump about the radical twenty
Speaker 12: twenty five agenda? And more disturbingly, why did the network
Speaker 12: cancel ads from the Biden campaign that was set to.
Speaker 11: Run during the interview?
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, and why did it cancel a separate interview
Speaker 12: it had planned with Biden's Hispanic media director. I mean,
Speaker 12: canceling opposing views is bad enough, but canceling ad revenue
Speaker 12: that's down.
Speaker 1: That's down right on American.
Speaker 12: And I don't know all the answers, but maybe it
Speaker 12: has something to do with Univision's new co CEO, bernardog Mez,
Speaker 12: being close friends with Jared Kushner, Trump's son in law
Speaker 12: and the only man with the skin of a flower tortilla. Look,
Speaker 12: I don't know I'm just asking the tough questions, unlike
Speaker 12: Univision's interviewer. The point is, though Univision has got to
Speaker 12: come back to its core values. I'm not saying that
Speaker 12: they shouldn't have Trump on the air. I'm just saying,
Speaker 12: if you do decide to sit down with a lying
Speaker 12: insurrectionist who wants to bring back interment camps like it's
Speaker 12: freaking nineteen forty two, you might want to point it
Speaker 12: out in the interview, okay, because there needs.
Speaker 11: To be honest journalism and parody.
Speaker 12: The Latino community needs you to step up because the
Speaker 12: stakes for us in twenty twenty four too damn high.
Speaker 12: You need to expose the truth, and not just about Trump,
Speaker 12: but also about how they are not those evil madre
Speaker 12: It's sabotaging is forbidden. Love of Emilias, swallow a more.
Speaker 1: I love you. I'm sure the whole time, John Reford,
Speaker 1: you're the right At Recovers with Jeff Glasses, it will
Speaker 1: go away. Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 4: Our guest Tonight is a former prosecutor and veterans serving
Speaker 4: his first term in Congress. He represents North Carolina's fourteenth
Speaker 4: Congressional district, and he's running for Attorney General in North Carolina.
Speaker 3: Please welcome Democratic Representative Jeff Jackson. Come crowd, Congress and Jackson,
Speaker 3: thank you for being here.
Speaker 1: Thank you so excited to have you.
Speaker 3: You are an incredibly successful politician, but most people know
Speaker 3: you from your TikTok videos. You do these incredible explainers
Speaker 3: that distill down pretty complex issues in a really clear,
Speaker 3: digestible way. Is the intent to simplify these issues for
Speaker 3: people and get that engagement? Are you really just posting
Speaker 3: foot picks?
Speaker 9: Every consultant in DC told me to go the foot direction. Yes,
Speaker 9: I said, that's not what I'm about.
Speaker 1: No, you're a hands guy.
Speaker 6: We know you are.
Speaker 1: I love a good hand TikTok Oh, show me that
Speaker 1: that Vogue era. Give me this, Lauren Bolbert.
Speaker 4: I had a great hands video a few months ago. Great, great,
Speaker 4: is that what you're talking about.
Speaker 9: I'm a kitchen table guy, right, I have a kitchen table.
Speaker 9: I put a camera on the other side, I look
Speaker 9: into it. I say, here's the most interesting thing that
Speaker 9: happened to me in Congress this week? And then I
Speaker 9: posted to a bunch of different social media platforms. I
Speaker 9: have been really surprised by the level of interest in
Speaker 9: this political environment where everyone is yelling at each other
Speaker 9: all the time, to be able to speak in a
Speaker 9: normal tone of voice and try to convey some of
Speaker 9: the complexity and some of the nuance that there would
Speaker 9: be broad interest for that, I think is really encouraging.
Speaker 2: I think it's a good signing.
Speaker 4: I now I feel though the platforms that we have
Speaker 4: our conversations on dictate the types of conversations we have,
Speaker 4: and TikTok is a short attention span platform, Like, what
Speaker 4: does it say about our democracy that this is where
Speaker 4: the conversations are happening.
Speaker 9: I've been surprised. I wouldn't have expected that. So I
Speaker 9: post to TikTok, but also Facebook, read at Twitter. The
Speaker 9: place where most people view is TikTok. When I'm home
Speaker 9: in my district, constituents come up and they say, hey,
Speaker 9: I appreciate what you posted on TikTok. I would not
Speaker 9: have predicted that. I will tell you I've got seven
Speaker 9: hundred and sixty thousand some odd constituents my senses, about
Speaker 9: three hundred thousand of them are on TikTok.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 9: I know TikTok's got all kinds of issues, but I
Speaker 9: think that reaching my constituents where they are is also
Speaker 9: something of real value. It should be normal and expected
Speaker 9: that your elected officials try and use social media to
Speaker 9: keep you posted about what they're doing.
Speaker 2: It should be part of our job.
Speaker 1: You think you think half of your constituents are on TikTok?
Speaker 1: How many high schools do you have in your district?
Speaker 9: You know, I've got a lot of young people, But look,
Speaker 9: there are people of all ages on all of these
Speaker 9: social media platforms. And every once in a while you
Speaker 9: meet a grandma who comes up and says, I really
Speaker 9: love you on TikTok. Usually they mentioned Facebook, but sometimes TikTok.
Speaker 3: So you were talking about some of the issues with TikTok.
Speaker 3: Nikki Haley has just openly spoken about banning TikTok and
Speaker 3: the security concerns. Do you have those concerns?
Speaker 2: Yeah, those concerns are all legit.
Speaker 9: Look, I have a phone that has one app on it,
Speaker 9: and that app is TikTok, and that's how I handle that.
Speaker 1: And that's because you fear what could happen.
Speaker 4: I mean, because the overall threat is that essentially the
Speaker 4: Chinese government has access to your information and can influence
Speaker 4: the discourse because of it.
Speaker 9: Those are all absolutely credible concerns. As long as roughly
Speaker 9: half of my constituents are there, I'm gonna try and
Speaker 9: use it for good and keep them posted about what
Speaker 9: I'm doing.
Speaker 4: I want to talk about some of the people you
Speaker 4: work with. You you called out on your famous TikTok
Speaker 4: videos that a lot of the people in Congress you sense,
Speaker 4: are faking this outrage that what we're seeing at home
Speaker 4: is essentially a bunch of people faking it.
Speaker 1: Who would you put on blasts? Who are you talking about?
Speaker 3: And does it rhyme with Schmrjorie Schmaaler Schmid.
Speaker 2: All I will say is this, It's not George Santos.
Speaker 1: Never, He's not vacant.
Speaker 2: It's never a false word from that gentleman. I'll tell
Speaker 2: you this.
Speaker 9: I've been in committees and I have watched when the
Speaker 9: camera turns on, people's personalities change completely right before your eyes.
Speaker 2: It's really jarring. It is literal theater.
Speaker 9: And you've got a handful of people there who are
Speaker 9: in competition with each other every day to be the
Speaker 9: most outrageous, which is why it feels like when you
Speaker 9: look at Congress, they're on this escalator that's just increasingly.
Speaker 2: Crazy and angry.
Speaker 9: It's because they're playing a very specific game to try
Speaker 9: and get the attention of a very specific group of people,
Speaker 9: and it's awful and exhausting. Most of people up there
Speaker 9: aren't playing that game. The people we keep getting served up,
Speaker 9: they're playing the Outrage Olympics every day. That's how they
Speaker 9: treat their job in Congress as the day we tryouts
Speaker 9: for the Outrage Olympics.
Speaker 4: I find it interesting because you have found the success.
Speaker 4: You don't seem like the outrage kind of God.
Speaker 3: You always seem like you're at like an even five.
Speaker 1: That's you got, Like you got like a nice dad, energy,
Speaker 1: good dad.
Speaker 3: Like I'm not going to drink with you, but I
Speaker 3: will pick you up if you drink too much.
Speaker 1: I will no questions, ask, give me a call, Right,
Speaker 1: I'm that guy. Yeah, yeah, why do you think?
Speaker 2: Let me say something else? I think right now, that's
Speaker 2: the dad American needs.
Speaker 4: I could also say, kind of a tipsy uncle who
Speaker 4: can whip this country back into shape to it.
Speaker 5: All, we're dangerously close.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like uncle is going to turn on us.
Speaker 1: We better shape up.
Speaker 3: What does boil your blood? Does anything get you going?
Speaker 2: Outright?
Speaker 9: Political corruption For example, my state, North Carolina a horrible
Speaker 9: history with jerrymandering. Jerry Mandering is just letting politicians draw
Speaker 9: their own districts, because when you do that, they're all
Speaker 9: going to cheat my party. When my party had the
Speaker 9: ability to draw the districts in North Carolina, they always cheated.
Speaker 9: When I was in the state legislature, the first bill
Speaker 9: I ever filed was to end jerry mandering, and they
Speaker 9: sent it to a committee that hasn't met in twenty years.
Speaker 9: We can't let politicians draw their own districts because they
Speaker 9: screw the voters every single time. No more jerry mandering
Speaker 9: across the entire country.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a huge.
Speaker 3: Issue, But how do we fix this cancer on political discourse?
Speaker 3: How do you solve that?
Speaker 9: Don't vote for anyone who isn't explicitly committed to independent redistricting.
Speaker 9: Independent redistricting is how you solve jerry mandering. If there
Speaker 9: is any elected official or a candidate who says, well,
Speaker 9: I don't know if I'm forward, maybe maybe not, uh uh,
Speaker 9: we should just have a bright line. Jerry mandering is unethical.
Speaker 9: There is never a defense for drawing districts to favor
Speaker 9: one party or the other. Don't vote for anyone who
Speaker 9: would ever engage in that behavior.
Speaker 2: That's how we solve it.
Speaker 4: Now, well, you've been in Congress for about eleven months now,
Speaker 4: and you're you're planning on getting jerry mandered out, and
Speaker 4: you're running for attorney general.
Speaker 1: Attorneys general, attorneys general.
Speaker 2: It's very awkward, don't know.
Speaker 11: Could you do an.
Speaker 3: Explainer on why it's attorneys general.
