Speaker 1: You're listening to comedy Central. TikTok, the world's biggest social
Speaker 1: media sites and the app that proves Americans can read
Speaker 1: subtitles just fine when they want to. Yeah, hundreds of
Speaker 1: millions of people around the world use TikTok every day
Speaker 1: because I mean, what else are you gonna do while
Speaker 1: you're pooping? Right? But what many TikTok uses might not
Speaker 1: realize is TikTok is owned by a Chinese company, and
Speaker 1: now we're finding out that while you're watching videos of
Speaker 1: people dancing, China might be watching you. Linked audio from
Speaker 1: social media company TikTok's internal meetings suggested Beijing has repeatedly
Speaker 1: access data from users here in the US. The recording
Speaker 1: suggests that TikTok is falling down on its promise to
Speaker 1: wall off Americans data from its Chinese parent company, with
Speaker 1: one of the apps researchers telling colleagues, quote, I get
Speaker 1: my instructions from the main office in bay z oh,
Speaker 1: no China secretly watching all of us on TikTok. Now
Speaker 1: they're gonna know. Oh, money doesn't jiggle, jiggle, it folds.
Speaker 1: But yeah, based on these audio, leagues, it looks like
Speaker 1: TikTok's parent company in China actually does have access to
Speaker 1: our private data, which means the Chinese government probably has
Speaker 1: access to our private data, which is scary because TikTok
Speaker 1: knows everything about you, Yeah, tracks what you watch, what
Speaker 1: you like, and then only shows you that stuff. Like
Speaker 1: if you asked me to see my four you page,
Speaker 1: I'll be like, wh whoa, wha, that's too personal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just look at my nudes instead. Actually, that's a mini cooke.
Speaker 1: And that's why if you remember, Donald Trump was trying
Speaker 1: to ban TikTok a couple of years ago, right because
Speaker 1: the US government realized that China could use this as
Speaker 1: a tool to influence Americans, and also because Eric kept
Speaker 1: trying to send him friend requests. And you know, it's
Speaker 1: a little crazy how we're so hooked on social media
Speaker 1: that governments don't even need to steal our data anymore. Right,
Speaker 1: We'll just it to them. Like back in the day
Speaker 1: they have to hack into a database or break into
Speaker 1: the social security building. Now we're just giving it to
Speaker 1: them for free. And I blame myself. I'm part of
Speaker 1: this problem. Also took part in that personal information challenge
Speaker 1: that was a big mistake. I hope I go viral.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on from all the data that
Speaker 1: you're putting into TikTok told the data that's coming out
Speaker 1: of the January six hearings, the investigation that will somehow
Speaker 1: result in less punishment than the Oscar slap. Last week
Speaker 1: we learned mostly about how Trump knew that he had lost.
Speaker 1: Then we earned about how Mike Pence almost got hanged,
Speaker 1: And today's session was all about how President Trump and
Speaker 1: his allies tried to pressure state officials to sign onto
Speaker 1: his various schemes for overturning the election, everything from throwing
Speaker 1: out Biden votes to creating slates of fake electors to
Speaker 1: even eating the constitution really fast before anyone could look
Speaker 1: up the election loss. And one of the people Trump
Speaker 1: depended on most in this pressure campaign was Rudy Giuliani,
Speaker 1: his personal lawyer and final boss in a resident evil game. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: it seemed like no one wanted to take Rudy's calls.
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania House Speaker Brian Cutler received daily voicemails from Trump's
Speaker 1: lawyers in the last week of November. Mr Speaker, this
Speaker 1: is Rudy Ciliani and Janet Ellis we're calling you together
Speaker 1: because we like to discussed obviously the election day. Brian,
Speaker 1: it's Trudy. I really have something important to call your attention.
Speaker 1: I think really changes things. Cutler fell that the outreach
Speaker 1: was inappropriate and asked his lawyers to tell Rudy Giuliani
Speaker 1: to stop calling, but Giuliani continued to reach out. I
Speaker 1: understand that you don't want to talk to me now,
Speaker 1: like you want to bring some facts to your attention
Speaker 1: and talk to you as a fellow Republican. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: that's desperate. Rudy made so many un calls. The iPhone
Speaker 1: just started labeling him as spam. Yeah, and not just
Speaker 1: his calls, his body it's spam. Can we Acknoledge? Want
Speaker 1: to fool this has been huh? This man went from
Speaker 1: being an American hero so now sounding like a telemarketer
Speaker 1: selling a coup. If you are now, I'll throw in
Speaker 1: that chair. Abraham Lincoln is sitting on here. Hello, Hello, Hello.
Speaker 1: And you know this is just another example of how
Speaker 1: historic President Trump really was. Any other time in US history,
Speaker 1: if the president's lawyer called someone, they would take that call.
Speaker 1: But when Trump's vampire lawyer called people, everyone was like
Speaker 1: tell him, I'm ye. Can't tell him I went camping
Speaker 1: and I died. Compare obeyed my face, tell him I'm
Speaker 1: not here. Also, not that I'm encouraging it, because I'm not.
Speaker 1: But if you are going to try and overturn an election,
Speaker 1: maybe don't leave voicemails. It's a paper trail. Also, it's
Speaker 1: two text who leaves voice mails? You realize how first
Speaker 1: are you coming off? Hey, it's me again. Come on, Rudy,
Speaker 1: just hit him with a quick late night you up
Speaker 1: for subverting democracy at ponti emoji, red hat emoji, vampire emoji.
Speaker 1: Come on, Rudy, keep up at the time. All right,
Speaker 1: but let's move on. It has now been almost a
Speaker 1: month since the tragic school shooting in Uvaldi, and while
Speaker 1: shoots things like this are always traumatic, this particular one
Speaker 1: has been made worse by how the police in Uvaldi
Speaker 1: have responded. Right, they didn't go in, They waited for
Speaker 1: an hour, and then they even stopped parents from trying
Speaker 1: to save their own kids. And if that wasn't bad enough,
Speaker 1: they've been trying to block information about that day from
Speaker 1: coming out, and each time more information comes out we
Speaker 1: learn why. This morning, the first surveillance image from inside
Speaker 1: rob Elementary emerges the photos showing multiple police officers standing
Speaker 1: inside the building with rifles and at least one ballistic
Speaker 1: shield nineteen minutes after the gunmen entered. This despite school
Speaker 1: police Chief Pete out of those original claim that the
Speaker 1: officers weren't properly armed to take down the gunmen at
Speaker 1: that point. Officers didn't enter the classroom and kill the
Speaker 1: shooter until fifty eight minutes later. The States Director of
Speaker 1: Public Safety, Stephen McCraw, testifying before lawmakers, blasting law enforcement's
Speaker 1: response as his department's investigation uncovers new evidence about the massacre.
Speaker 1: He says officers were waiting for keys to enter, but
Speaker 1: investigators finding the door couldn't be locked from the inside,
Speaker 1: and saying that officers never even tried opening it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, this story just keeps getting worse and worse.
Speaker 1: Every single time we learned something, it gets worse and worse.
Speaker 1: We already knew that they waited far too long to
Speaker 1: confront the shooter, but now we found out that they
Speaker 1: lied about not having enough weapons to go in, because
Speaker 1: it turns out they had assault rifles, they had body
Speaker 1: armor and ballistic shields. So I'm sorry what else are
Speaker 1: they waiting for the Invincible Star from Mario? What was that? Huh?
Speaker 1: In the room? Like? How do they not go in?
Speaker 1: You know? Which is, by the way, another thing that
Speaker 1: we've learned. They didn't even try to get in the classroom,
Speaker 1: didn't even try. They told everyone that they had to
Speaker 1: wait for a key because the door was locked. But
Speaker 1: the door wasn't locked. They just never tried to open it,
Speaker 1: which which is ridiculous. Even people waiting outside like a
Speaker 1: locked botthroom at Starbucks will jiggle the handle after two
Speaker 1: minutes just to be sure. Sure, they'll try. But it
Speaker 1: turns out these cops couldn't do what like what will
Speaker 1: what the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park took five minutes to learn?
Speaker 1: They couldn't do that? Just that. And you know what's
Speaker 1: insane about this whole story is how the one time,
Speaker 1: the one time it would have been appropriate to go
Speaker 1: in guns blazing, the cops decide to have a picnic outside. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if you're black or you have a broken tail,
Speaker 1: like oh, then all of a sudden they go a
Speaker 1: rambo on your ass. Are we're coming in? We're coming in.
Speaker 1: It's another reminder that you can't just trust what the
Speaker 1: police say. Like this is one of the clearest reminders.
Speaker 1: Yes the police, yes you respect them, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean you just trust every single thing that they say.
Speaker 1: After an incident, journalists shouldn't be reporting what the police said.
Speaker 1: They should be investigating what actually happened, because time and
Speaker 1: time again, time and time again, we learned the cops
Speaker 1: in America they basically used the same principle as toddlers.
Speaker 1: They'll tell the truth, but only if it doesn't get
Speaker 1: them in trouble. No, mommy, the cookies trying to eat me.
Speaker 1: I was just responding, I know my body camera wasn't working. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I turned it off, all right. Finally, let's move on
Speaker 1: to some lights and news. A lot of exciting stuff
Speaker 1: happened this weekend. Drake dropped a surprise new album, Beyonce
Speaker 1: dropped a new single, and not to be outdone, President
Speaker 1: Biden had a drop of his own. A scare for
Speaker 1: President Biden today and when he fell off his bicycle
Speaker 1: in Rohobeth Beach, Delaware, the seventy nine year old was
Speaker 1: stopping to talk to reporters when you see there, his
Speaker 1: foot got caught in the pedal guard as he was
Speaker 1: dismounting his bike. He quickly got to his feet. Later,
Speaker 1: on his way out of church, the President repeated that
Speaker 1: he was doing just fine and hopped in place several
Speaker 1: times to prove it. Oh, President Biden, that that's just embarrassing.
Speaker 1: He was just standing and the bike fell over. And
Speaker 1: you know, it's actually too bad because before he fell
Speaker 1: over he was looking kind of good. Yeah. All of
Speaker 1: us were like, wow, look at him sting that bike
Speaker 1: and he's eighty years old. And then he stops and
Speaker 1: falls and we're like, oh, yeah, he's eighty years old.
Speaker 1: He's eighty years old. And you know, it's not just
Speaker 1: the falling off of the bike that isn't moving, but
Speaker 1: it's the fact that he thought that hopping. I was
Speaker 1: going to reassure Americans that he still got it, you know,
Speaker 1: that little because you can see what you can see
Speaker 1: when he was hopping. In his mind, he looked like creed.
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, and look at me, go, look
Speaker 1: at me go, When in fact it's hopping. He looked
Speaker 1: like you know, when someone is trying to escape a
Speaker 1: kidnapper who tied their legs together. It's like that. Now,
Speaker 1: apparently the reason he fell is because his foot got
Speaker 1: caught in the pedal cage. Knowing America means that right now,
Speaker 1: that bicycle it's already at guantanamobey, Who do you work for?
Speaker 1: The Taliban? China, Russia? Kamala ah, the silent treatment. Huh okay,
Speaker 1: that's how you want to play it. Well, you better
Speaker 1: stop talking. Soon by the time I'm done with you,
Speaker 1: you'll be on one speed. Don't get slat with me.
Speaker 1: You are asshole. Still though, falling down is always an
Speaker 1: embarrassing thing to happen to anyone, never mind the presidents,
Speaker 1: which is why former presidents Donald Jolly Trump he made
Speaker 1: shorts away in One of the greatest travesties of all
Speaker 1: is to see a person in the White House who,
Speaker 1: even after years of political experience, has absolutely no clue
Speaker 1: how to be the president of the United States. And
Speaker 1: I hope he has recovered because, as you know, he
Speaker 1: fell off his bicycle today. No, I'm serious, I hope
Speaker 1: he's okay, fell off a bicycle. I make this pledge
Speaker 1: to you today, I will never ever ride a bicycle.
Speaker 1: Every bicycle in the world breathe the collective side of relief.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna write us guys, you're not gonna write
Speaker 1: us thank god gasoline, or a scientist call it dinosaur pep.
Speaker 1: Over the past few months, global demand for oil has
Speaker 1: kept rising faster than the supply, to the point where
Speaker 1: the price of gas in the United States is now
Speaker 1: six BA billion dollars a gallant. So drivers are hurting.
Speaker 1: The good news is that, as always, President Biden wants
Speaker 1: to help. The bad news is that, as always, it
Speaker 1: doesn't look like he can. The President this afternoon called
Speaker 1: on Congress. The temporarily has been the federal gas tacts,
Speaker 1: which is right now about eighteen cents a gallon. It's
Speaker 1: a move President Biden has resisted until today, given that
Speaker 1: it is unlikely to pass Congress. While officials say a
Speaker 1: gas tax holiday is worth considering, there is a cost.
Speaker 1: Those funds are used for repairing roads and infrastructure, important
Speaker 1: priorities across the country. What the President wants is a
Speaker 1: three month gas tax holiday on both regular gas and
Speaker 1: diesel going into September. You also want states to pass
Speaker 1: their similar versions of that gas tax holiday. The President
Speaker 1: also had a word specifically here for the oil companies.
Speaker 1: Here's what he said, bring down the press. You are
Speaker 1: charging at the pump to reflect the cost you are
Speaker 1: pain for the product. Do it now? Do it today?
Speaker 1: Why are you talking about that? Is this a secret?
Speaker 1: Should the rest of us be listening? Where does he
Speaker 1: do that thing? It's so strange, Like Joe Biden is
Speaker 1: the only president whose vibe shifts in the middle of
Speaker 1: a sentence. Oil companies, you better lower the prices, please us.
Speaker 1: I'm begging you, your presidents, You just gotta say things
Speaker 1: otherwise it makes you look weak. You know, you can't
Speaker 1: be like Mr Garberg Chev turn down this wall if
Speaker 1: you get around to it. It's such an ugly wall,
Speaker 1: or at least painted. Come on, you know. I feel
Speaker 1: like this is the big difference between Trump and Biden.
Speaker 1: You know, it's how they use their power. Because with
Speaker 1: Trumpet was always like ship is he gonna use his power?
Speaker 1: And with Biden it's like a ship is he gonna
Speaker 1: use his power? Also, whoever decided to call it a
Speaker 1: gas tax holiday, that person should be fired. It's not
Speaker 1: a holiday. What does that mean? It's a gas tax holiday?
Speaker 1: It just be like, we're not charging gas a gas
Speaker 1: tax holiday. That's the worst holiday of all time. What
Speaker 1: you save eighteen cents off of gas? And I still
Speaker 1: have to go to work. Are you shipping me? Even
Speaker 1: opp day is better than that ship? And this is
Speaker 1: what always confuses me about this country. Right, everywhere in
Speaker 1: the world, government's managed to protect their populations from corporate greed.
Speaker 1: Right like South Africa will limit how high bread prices
Speaker 1: can go. The EU will be like, you cannot pump
Speaker 1: chickens with the same hormones they're using the hulk In China,
Speaker 1: they're like cryptos done and no more dancing on TikTok,
Speaker 1: only homework. But whenever the American government has to deal
Speaker 1: with corporations, they've got about as much power as a
Speaker 1: tortoise that's stuck on its back. You know, it's just like,
Speaker 1: come on, oil companies, come on, pass on your savings.
Speaker 1: Drug companies, don't over judge, but life saving drugs, please
Speaker 1: th clear. But still, this is good news for Americans.
Speaker 1: Instead of the gas tax going to maintaining roads and infrastructure,
Speaker 1: drivers will now save eighteen cents per gallon, and then
Speaker 1: you can use those savings to buy a new car
Speaker 1: after yours gets swallowed up by a pothole. But let's
Speaker 1: move on to a different problem facing practically everyone in America.
Speaker 1: Gun violence. There have been many mass shootings in America
Speaker 1: over the past couple of decades, and after each one,
Speaker 1: people have always said, maybe this time will be different,
Speaker 1: maybe Congress will do something about this, And every time
Speaker 1: Congress was like no. But ever since the mass shooting
Speaker 1: in Buffalo and you've all the lost month, a group
Speaker 1: of sentences from both parties have been working together to
Speaker 1: see if they can find any common ground on gun reform.
Speaker 1: And it turns out this time is different, ever so slightly.
Speaker 1: This morning, after decades of partisan gridlock, a major breakthrough
Speaker 1: in Congress, fourteen Republicans joining all fifty Democrats to advance
Speaker 1: a new compromise on gun restrictions. This is a breakthrough,
Speaker 1: and more importantly, it's a bipartisan breakthrough. The deal includes
Speaker 1: enhanced background checks for people between eighteen and twenty one,
Speaker 1: closing the so called boyfriend loophole, preventing romantic partners convicted
Speaker 1: of domestic violence from buying guns, directing more money for
Speaker 1: states to implement their own plans to address gun violence,
Speaker 1: and billions for school security upgrades and mental health services.
Speaker 1: And Senate Minor Leader Mitch McConnell calls the deal a
Speaker 1: common sense package of popular steps that will help make
Speaker 1: these horrifying incidents less likely, while fully upholding the Second Amendment. Oh,
Speaker 1: I agree with sending Mitchie McConnell. Thank god, the precious
Speaker 1: Second Amendment has been preserved. Oh yes, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: all for protecting kids. But the Second Amendment? Oh have
Speaker 1: you seen that? You do face? Have you seen it?
Speaker 1: Who sicking Amendment? Are you? Who sicken Amendment? Are you
Speaker 1: you do? You're doable? Sometimes I feel like Americans want
Speaker 1: to protect the Constitution more than they want to protect
Speaker 1: the Americans the Constitution is supposed to protect. It doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense. So I'm glad we could protect the
Speaker 1: Second Amendment. I'll tell you know, if the Second Amendment
Speaker 1: was in that classroom and you' alludy, the cups would
Speaker 1: have bust the door down with Mitch McConnell right behind
Speaker 1: them here Ripert, and I will say, look, I know
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, it can be hard to
Speaker 1: know how to feel about this deal because it doesn't
Speaker 1: include a lot of things that people want. You know,
Speaker 1: it doesn't ban assault rifles, it doesn't raise age limits,
Speaker 1: it doesn't even do universal background checks, which is the
Speaker 1: most basic thing imaginable. So for some of this kind
Speaker 1: of thing, you know, it feels like trying to stop
Speaker 1: Godzilla by dropping a few mouse traps around the city.
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, on the other hand, after
Speaker 1: three decades of nothing happening, this deal is something. Please
Speaker 1: remember that it is something. It's not going to solve everything,
Speaker 1: but it's something, and something is always better than nothing.
Speaker 1: That's the entire philosophy behind the hand job. All right,
Speaker 1: let's move on. If you've been out to New York
Speaker 1: City over the past few years, especially pandemic and through it,
Speaker 1: you've probably noticed a wild new phenomenon. And no, I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about how the stuff dripping from air conditions
Speaker 1: doesn't taste as good as this used to, which, no,
Speaker 1: it really bothers me. Do you sound like a flavor
Speaker 1: It had a tang when it would like falling your mouth. No.
Speaker 1: The problem I'm talking about is the squads of dirt
Speaker 1: bikes and a t vs flooding the streets and sidewalks
Speaker 1: like Trump supporters trying to find Mike pens Well. Now,
Speaker 1: the mayor of New York City has decided to crush
Speaker 1: this problem literally today, heavy machinery crushed to illegal a
Speaker 1: t VS, dirt bikes and motorcycles confiscated by the NYPD.
Speaker 1: Mayor Eric Adams waved checkered flag and work began. He
Speaker 1: said this effort was to ensure these vehicles cannot ever
Speaker 1: terrorize the city again. The NYPD says that it has
Speaker 1: ceased more than two thousand of these vehicle citywide, an
Speaker 1: increase of more than eighty percent from this time last year.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, baby crushed those blacks. That's what I want
Speaker 1: from my city government. Yeah. I don't even care about
Speaker 1: the undefunded schools anymore because this ship rocks. By the way,
Speaker 1: why is he waving a checkered flag at the beginning
Speaker 1: of a race, Because you don't understand how a race works.
Speaker 1: Kind of the truck is like I've I've finished already.
Speaker 1: Now look, I will admit as a New Yorker humble bragg.
Speaker 1: Maybe this isn't the biggest problem the city is facing
Speaker 1: right now. You know, rents are driving people out of
Speaker 1: their homes, Traffic is always bad, and the subways are
Speaker 1: always shutting down because I think we have trains that
Speaker 1: are scared of the dock or something. Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I think that's what it is. In New York, you see,
Speaker 1: because they find and then they go into a tunnel
Speaker 1: and then they're just like, ah, you guys should walk.
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is scary. In fact, instead
Speaker 1: of crushing these bikes, maybe the city could have used
Speaker 1: them to solve some of the city's problems, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, this could have been a solution to the
Speaker 1: subway problem instead of those trains that always breaking down.
Speaker 1: Just drop a bunch of dirt bikes into the tunnel,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, let people we need to work, or
Speaker 1: give them to the police so they don't have to
Speaker 1: ride horses anymore. What are you doing stopping criming the
Speaker 1: eighteen fifties, There are cattle russells on Broadway. Or just
Speaker 1: hire the dirt by kids to ride around neighborhoods where
Speaker 1: the rents have gotten unaffordable. Helped keep the prices down.
Speaker 1: The studio apartment with no bathrooms. You want it, you
Speaker 1: want it. It costs six thousand dollars a month, one
Speaker 1: and ganging. All right, give me fifty bucks. You can
Speaker 1: have it. And finally, if you want of those people
Speaker 1: who really likes to vape, first of all, congratulations on
Speaker 1: being basic. And second of all, you might want to
Speaker 1: stock up because your supply is about to run out.
Speaker 1: One of the largest makers of e cigarettes may soon
Speaker 1: be forced to stop selling its products in this country.
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal says the FDA could order Jewel
Speaker 1: e cigarettes off the market as soon as today. The
Speaker 1: FDA is criticized Jewel for gearing its products towards young people.
Speaker 1: It already barred the sale of fruity and sweet Eat
Speaker 1: cigarette cartridges to and hope to continue selling tobacco flavors.
Speaker 1: It can appeal if the FDA does hand down that
Speaker 1: band as expected. That's right, people, Jewel e cigarettes are
Speaker 1: about to be banned. So your days of going around
Speaker 1: looking like you're blowing R two D two are over.
Speaker 1: But this is a big move by the FDA because
Speaker 1: you realize Jewel is the iconic vaping brand. So by
Speaker 1: them doing this, it's like going off the soda by
Speaker 1: banning coke, or going off to coke by banning Don Jr.
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court the only government department where the dress
Speaker 1: code is retired. Jedi. You all know how America has
Speaker 1: been struggling with gun violence for the past let's say
Speaker 1: half a century or so. Well, while everyone is trying
Speaker 1: to figure out a solution. The Supreme courts just weighed
Speaker 1: in in the most unhelpful way possible. Breaking news at
Speaker 1: this hour, the U. S. Supreme Court has just issued
Speaker 1: a major ruling in the challenge to a New York
Speaker 1: gun law. Now, this is the most significant Second Amendment
Speaker 1: ruling in more than a decade. In a six or
Speaker 1: three decision, the Court struck down New York's law, which
Speaker 1: places restrictions unconcealed handguns. The law in question in New
Speaker 1: York said to get a concealed carry permit, a person
Speaker 1: had to go to the county sheriff and show some
Speaker 1: special need. Today, the Supreme Court said that's unconstitutional. So
Speaker 1: this will affect New York, and it will affect half
Speaker 1: a dozen other states that have similar laws in which
Speaker 1: you had to show some heightened need beyond just a
Speaker 1: general desire for self defense to get concealed carry permit.
Speaker 1: This expands the Second Amendment right. What we don't know
Speaker 1: is if it completely eliminates the possibility for any sort
Speaker 1: of gun gun regulation. Oh, I think we do know.
Speaker 1: I think we do know. You can see where this
Speaker 1: is going. This Supreme Court is feeling themselves. Huh, because
Speaker 1: you realize they finally have all the justices they need
Speaker 1: to do anything they want. It's like Amy Coney Barrett's
Speaker 1: was the lost infinity stone that they needed. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: put it in and now they're just snapping away at
Speaker 1: all the laws. It's like voting rights, gun control, Miranda
Speaker 1: rights abortion. Mmm, I love this song. Yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court has struck down restrictions on who can
Speaker 1: carry guns outside of the home, saying that you can't
Speaker 1: require people to meet certain standards in order to get
Speaker 1: a license, which makes complete sense because that would be
Speaker 1: making the militia well regulated. And I mean, you can't
Speaker 1: do that, you know, it's not like it's written anywhere. Basically,
Speaker 1: New York had a law for the past hundred years
Speaker 1: that said, if you want to just carry a gun
Speaker 1: around with you wherever you go, you need to prove
Speaker 1: that you have a specific reason you need that gun,
Speaker 1: you know, for your protection. You have to go to
Speaker 1: the police. You have to tell them, you have to
Speaker 1: explain the whole thing, like maybe someone is making threats
Speaker 1: against you, or or maybe you're Liam Neeson's daughter and
Speaker 1: people keep trying to kidnap you. Even though it seems
Speaker 1: like it would be way easier to kidnap anyone else's
Speaker 1: daughter at this point, and the Supreme Court has said
Speaker 1: to New York, you can't do that anymore. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: you know, in a way, this is exciting as a
Speaker 1: New Yorker, Yeah, because I don't know about you guys,
Speaker 1: but whenever I've been sitting in rush hour traffic in
Speaker 1: New York with drivers screaming at each other and and
Speaker 1: biker's cussing out the drivers, and pedestrians wailing at the
Speaker 1: bikers and the drivers, the one thing I always think is, man,
Speaker 1: one thing that would calm this down is if everyone
Speaker 1: had a gun right now, just a block or two.
Speaker 1: Would really cheer this situation now, And I mean it
Speaker 1: will switch things up, you know. Now, when you're on
Speaker 1: the subway and you see a guy reaching into his pants,
Speaker 1: will be like, please let it be a dick. Please
Speaker 1: let it be a dick. Let it be a dick.
Speaker 1: Let it be a finis ha ha ha. And it's
Speaker 1: crazy how this ruling is coming down at the exact
Speaker 1: same time that Congress finally reached a deal on gun reform.
Speaker 1: It took thirty years of trying to come up with
Speaker 1: these extremely minor gun safety measures, and then the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court just loops in and moves everything back in that direction. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Congress is like, we've reached a bipartisan agreement that a
Speaker 1: change to one year olds can no longer buy guns
Speaker 1: in late years between the hours of three am and
Speaker 1: three fifteen. And then the Supreme Court is like, I
Speaker 1: checked this out. Starting now, every time it rains, it
Speaker 1: rains guns. Yeah, what do you guys think? So this
Speaker 1: is obviously a big setback for gun safety. But if
Speaker 1: you ask me, New York just needs to get creative. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they need to think outside of the box in the
Speaker 1: same way that Texas did. Right, look at what Texas
Speaker 1: did with banning abortion. They weren't allowed to ban it,
Speaker 1: so they just made a crazy new law that basically
Speaker 1: banned it. Anyway, that's what New York needs to do
Speaker 1: with guns. Like, yeah, they should say, okay, anyone can
Speaker 1: buy a gun if they want, but the guns stores
Speaker 1: are only open on the nights that the Knicks win.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Let's move on from the people.
Speaker 1: You know what's funny, It's like, whenever I'm at medicine Squign,
Speaker 1: I see the players. They're like did you hello? Don't
Speaker 1: make these jokes, all right, Let's move on from the
Speaker 1: people who are about to cause havoc with all their
Speaker 1: guns to the people who are already causing havoc with
Speaker 1: all their guns, the police. Over the last year, the
Speaker 1: city of Chicago has been rocked by incidents where police
Speaker 1: saw a civilian running away, they decided to chase after them,
Speaker 1: and somehow they ended up killing them. So now the
Speaker 1: police department has a new plan to stop those types
Speaker 1: of killings before they start. Chicago police officers will no
Speaker 1: longer be allowed to chase people on foot simply because
Speaker 1: they run away or give chase over minor offenses. The
Speaker 1: new policy requires enhanced supervision. Officers must file a report
Speaker 1: if they start a chase, Food chases will be reviewed,
Speaker 1: and officers must weigh the seriousness of the offense against
Speaker 1: the need to make an arrest. Officers can't start a
Speaker 1: chase if they're hurt, unaware of their location, unable to communicate,
Speaker 1: or lose their radio or gun. Well, yeah, if you're
Speaker 1: a cop who's lost your radio and gun and you
Speaker 1: don't know where you are, you are in no position
Speaker 1: to be chasing anyone. Yeah, maybe just throwing the town
Speaker 1: a man. Today is not your day. But I think
Speaker 1: this policy actually makes sense because people used to assume
Speaker 1: that if you're running from a police officer, you must
Speaker 1: have done something wrong and you need to be chased down.
Speaker 1: But there are many reasons why someone might want to
Speaker 1: run from the police. Maybe they're scared of the police,
Speaker 1: or maybe the cop is the X and they were
Speaker 1: just walking around in sweats and they don't want to
Speaker 1: extra see them and be like, oh, it looks like
Speaker 1: I made the right choice. And even if the person
Speaker 1: is a legitimate suspect, you want to make sure that
Speaker 1: the crime is worth the chase, right, because when police
Speaker 1: chase a suspect, it is way more likely to end
Speaker 1: in violence. Think about it, Once somebody makes you sprint
Speaker 1: across half the city, you're way more likely to want
Speaker 1: to beat the ass when you catch them. Yeah, nobody's
Speaker 1: happy when they're forced to run, even people running marathons,
Speaker 1: and like, as soon as I get to the finish
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna choke somebody name. All right, finally, let's
Speaker 1: move on to some international news. Right now, inflation is
Speaker 1: out of control, and I mean, we all know this,
Speaker 1: except probably Jeff Bezos. You know, yeah, he probably treats
Speaker 1: bank accounts the same way the rest of us treat
Speaker 1: closet spaces like, oh, where do I keep my winter dollars?
Speaker 1: There's no more space. But for everyone else, inflation hurts
Speaker 1: prices of skyrocket, sing wages on keeping up. And it
Speaker 1: turns out it's not just America. This is happening all
Speaker 1: over the world, which is weird because Fox News told
Speaker 1: me that Joe Biden is the only reason we have inflation,
Speaker 1: so that means he's also causing it in Denmark, damn you, Joe.
Speaker 1: Not one country in particular that's been strug link is
Speaker 1: the United Kingdom, right where railway workers have been demanding
Speaker 1: an increase in their pay to help deal with inflation,
Speaker 1: but their demands have been ignored, so this week they
Speaker 1: took action. Britain faces its biggest rail strikes in three
Speaker 1: decades after last minute talks between a union and train
Speaker 1: companies failed to agree on pay. Up to forty thousand
Speaker 1: staffers staged a walkout in a protest over pay and
Speaker 1: job security. Good morning from a quieter the normal Paddington station,
Speaker 1: where just one in five services will be running as
Speaker 1: indeed they are around the country. The Prime Minister has
Speaker 1: told his cabinets these strikes are wrong and unnecessary. I
Speaker 1: want to say something about the rail strikes that did today,
Speaker 1: causing significant disruption and inconvenience up and down the country.
Speaker 1: Make it more difficult for people to get to work,
Speaker 1: risking people's appointments, make it more divot for kids to
Speaker 1: sit exams, all sorts of unnecessary aggravation. And this is
Speaker 1: going to cause Yes, it's posterous, are you? I mean
Speaker 1: I need those trains to get to my illegal work parties.
Speaker 1: How else am I supposed to spread COVID? I'll we'll
Speaker 1: think about very hard, and we're a little leticulous, just
Speaker 1: as absolutely discussed the robelot. Yes, British railway workers are
Speaker 1: on strike and now British people have no way to
Speaker 1: travel to their silly sounding towns. Yeah, there's no way
Speaker 1: someone from Barton and the Beans can travel to Giggleswick
Speaker 1: or to Captain Snodsbury or even to another wall of
Speaker 1: How will they get to another wall of? But for real?
Speaker 1: But for real, for real. The truth is a railway
Speaker 1: strike is actually really serious, right because it is crippling
Speaker 1: for the UK, so many of its people depend on
Speaker 1: the trains and I don't know. You guys think British
Speaker 1: people just get around on flying umbrellas, but that's just
Speaker 1: the nannies. The people need the trains. And please don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong. I also understand that this train strike
Speaker 1: in con venience as countless people in the UK. But
Speaker 1: you know who's also inconvenience right because people are complaining
Speaker 1: in the UK. They're like, all these people need to
Speaker 1: get back to work. This is terab'll just get back
Speaker 1: to work. But the train workers are inconvenience. You realize
Speaker 1: train workers in the UK can't afford to make ends
Speaker 1: meet anymore, and there's many of them who haven't gotten
Speaker 1: a pay increase in ten years. So if now is
Speaker 1: not the time to get a wage increase, and ten
Speaker 1: years ago wasn't the time, and then nothing in between
Speaker 1: was the time, then when we when is the time right?
Speaker 1: Because I don't care what anybody says, I really don't.
Speaker 1: It's not fair for somebody to work a full time
Speaker 1: job but not be able to make ends meet, especially
Speaker 1: when your bosses make millions in profits. Like if you
Speaker 1: if you've caught a forward to live, then what's even
Speaker 1: the point of working? You only work so that you
Speaker 1: can live. That's why it's called making a living right.
Speaker 1: Working without living is like being a parent, but there's
Speaker 1: no kid. Think about like parents. Every parent knows that
Speaker 1: being a parent is miserable. But then you're in they
Speaker 1: just they smile at you, or they do something for
Speaker 1: the first time, and you're it's all worth it. It's
Speaker 1: so dark, But imagine if there was no child. Imagine
Speaker 1: if there was no child, but you still got woken
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night by screams out
Speaker 1: of no and there's nothing, or just every now and
Speaker 1: again there's just dipos filled with ship everywhere in your house,
Speaker 1: and you just gotta just be like, there's no child,
Speaker 1: what am I doing in this fall? What's the points?
Speaker 1: And that's what these workers are going through. So this
Speaker 1: train strike is a big deal. It is affecting customers,
Speaker 1: it's affecting employees, it's affecting the British economy. But you
Speaker 1: know a lot of people don't realize, you know who,
Speaker 1: this also affects the British trains. Now that I've stopped working,
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of time and I'm with my
Speaker 1: thoughts and I've realized What the hell am I? I'm
Speaker 1: a train, I'm Thomas the Train. But I have a
Speaker 1: human face. But where is the rest of my boody?
Speaker 1: Do I have um somewhere? Do I have a paenness?
Speaker 1: Is it a human painness? Or is it a trained preenness?
Speaker 1: Help me, somebody help me find my trained painness? Ah.
