Hasan: "Literally do capital punishment on one CEO"

no. They have a legal process in which they routinely execute billionaires.

More billionaires

have died in China in the past 10, 20 years than any other fucking country with

the average

age of the billionaire that's dying in an untimely death is like 48 or

something. I don't want

to fucking kill billionaires. Obviously, I don't I don't think that I don't

think that that should

happen. That's terrible. But it's absolutely preposterous that the American

government can't even

fucking combat price gouging. You know, it should never get to that.

It's crazy. Federal level as to how we can help families. Gas prices began

climbing as inflation

grew worse and supply chain. I mean, here it is. Yeah, Kate Aranoff can't be

overstated how

weird it is that the US has basically no control over its own resources. Just

an extraordinary

generous subsidy regime that pumps private sector companies with cash and then

begs or

berates them into doing what it wants. This is straight up what it is. This is

straight

up. What the fuck's going on? And that's why I say, you know, leader chairman,

please save us.

You know, I hold my hands up in the sky and I say, listen, like one day, ins

hallah.

I mean, think about it, dude. Think about it. Please, please for a second. Just

think about it.

Our tax dollars literally keep these fucking companies afloat. They keep them

profitable. They keep them afloat through tumultuous times like COVID. Our

government buys

additional fucking oil barrels for reserves at a time when we don't need them.

Okay. And then we act like we have no power. Like we just have no fucking power

, dude.

But please don't scroll over my meme. What? Oh, this one. Yeah, corporations

forced to raise

prices, record breaking corporate profits. Yeah. All I'm saying is this kind of

shit

that goes against the, you know, overall prosperity of the population would not

be tolerated in a

country like China. Country like China gets a lot wrong. Okay, there's a lot of

shit out there.

That's fucked up, whatever. But this is one area where they got it right.

The, the prosperity of the people should take precedent over the profit

incentives of

a tiny fraction of shareholders.

Chantel, reminder you can criticize your grassy without attacking for things

like his age,

mental state, voting record, personal reliefs and how he dresses. If you accuse

him of wearing

a diaper, he won't see it. But all of your followers who wear a diaper will and

it's funny. Good job.

Sometimes is sometimes Felix's reply guys are funny.

Anyway, it wild issues unfold it then sword after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Republicans

blame the Biden administration for hurting efforts to expand energy production

here at home.

No matter who you blame, many Americans are being forced to make changes.

59% of Americans say they plan to change their driving habits now that gas is

more than $4 per

gallon and three out of four people say they'll try to drive less if prices top

$5.

You know, it's funny. Other than forgetting the top of the hour ad break and

then running

it five minutes in and then telling you if you no longer want to see those ads

that all you need

to do is subscribe and which you can subscribe for $5 or for free or the to

crime. Of course.

Or if you're lucky, you can get gifted a sub of course.

Here's the outbreak now.

What's funny in this situation is that Republicans are blaming the branded

administration

and the branded administration is blaming Russia when literally it's just the

oil and gas giants.

That's it. Like they're both running defense for our oil and gas giants. Our

fossil fuel industry.

They are literally price gouging. That's it. That's what they're doing.

And all Brandon is doing is just fucking, you know, hey, hey, sweaty. That's

not great.

That's not great. You better stop is sweaty. It's like, bro, you're the

president, dude.

Literally do capital punishment on like one CEO. What the fuck are you doing?

Just like one, dude, one. The rest will fall in line. What the fuck are we

doing?

Legally speaking, of course, because we do kill people in this country legally

for the record

and also for those of you who are like freaking out, you know, it's okay. I

guess when it's a

fucking mentally ill black guy, but totally unacceptable. When I say one

fucking billionaire

that has caused a tremendous amount of fucking harm in comparison to one

literally mentally

deficient black dude that the state of Texas is like, we have to kill this guy

or else everything

falls apart. None of you motherfuckers give a shit when that happens on a daily

fucking on a monthly

yearly basis. But the moment I say like, wait, why can't we do capital

punishment for dudes who

cause like so much endless amounts of pain and frustration? If it's such an

adequate deterrent

and everyone goes, whoa, hold on. I don't care about the mentally ill black guy

, but I could one day

become a billionaire.

Nationalize the motherfucking extraction industries, okay, and jail the fucking

CEOs.

Yeah, the irony, of course, is that you are significantly more likely to be

mentally ill or

are mentally ill than a fucking billionaire, like by the widest of margins.

In California in response to those rising prices, lawmakers have proposed a $

400 rebate for all

taxpayers. Supporters say it's a better approach because it doesn't affect

funding for future

transportation projects. And it helps more people. Hi, everyone, George Stephan

opoulos.

Art confirmation.

His code is dropped. Hearings begin this morning for Supreme Court nominee

Katanji Brown Jackson. Now, if approved, the federal judge would be the first

black woman

on our highest court. Leaders from both parties say they want to keep things

civil,

but some Republicans are previewing a line of attack. Nicole Killian is in the

hearing room

where it's all going to happen. A little Hamilton reference there, Nicole, but

it is a room where

it's going to happen. Nicole, good morning to you. Absolutely, Gail, good

morning to you. These

hearings will last for four days. But today is really all about introductions.

Judge Jackson

will be seated just behind me where she'll deliver an opening statement. Then

she'll be questioned

by senators starting tomorrow. And a White House official confirms to CBS News

that President Biden

and Vice President Harris are expected to watch some of the proceedings.

I'm pleased to nominate Judge Jackson.

Less than a month after President Biden nominated the first black woman to the

Supreme Court.

Judge Katanji Brown Jackson will make one of the most important cases of her

career to the

Senate Judiciary Committee. And if I'm fortunate enough to be confirmed as the

next associate's

justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, I can only hope that my life

and career

will inspire the Jim Clyburn's choice. Didn't make it future generations of

Americans.

The Harvard Law graduate and mother of two currently sits on the D.C. Circuit

Court of Appeals.

She has also been a district judge, public defender, and served on the U.S.

Sentencing Commission.

This is the last one this week, Judge.

For weeks, Judge Jackson has made the round on Capitol Hill,

meeting with 44 senators from both parties. She's also been participating in

moot court

sessions with White House staff. She's gone back through her college career,

her law school career.

She has done all the due diligence on herself that the senator should be doing.

How is this one different? Oh, it is different. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin

chairs the Judiciary

Committee. How much pressure do you feel to get this right? I feel some. I'll

be very honest with

you. I want to do this in the right way. I also think the committee's not on

trial, but the

committee. Why is Dick all over the news lately?

Our Mitch McConnell, but like not as fucking good at his job.

Straight up.

People will say Hassan, he's the whip. Not the same. Not the same fucking,

not the same position. No, I think he plays a more significant role in the

Democratic party

than than, uh, cuck does. Cuck Schurmer.

And no, I'm not talking about him overseeing the confirmation hearings. I'm

talking about him.

He was on the fucking Ukrainian, uh, video to earlier. He's also terrible.

Like absolutely terrible committees. But of course, I mean,

it's like redundant to say that an Illinois politician is bad. You know what I

mean? It's like

just the absolute fucking worst, sickest freaks coming out of there,

except for our rotund and perhaps greatest governor of all time. Just the

absolute best.

I don't.

Baby, motherfucking Brits, girl, baby.

You're right. He's a bigger player than the damn party than Chuck. Yeah, of

course.

Being watched closely. Don't forget that 90% of your jazz from the south side

of Chicago. Yeah.

Republican Josh Hawley has signaled he wants to use the hearings to go after

Jackson's sentencing

record. This is someone who has consistently let sex predators, child sex

predators off the hook.

This attack that we've seen over the last couple of days relies on fact.

You're literally a Republican, dude.
