Transcript. Timestamps are stored-video seconds.

[0:00] no. They have a legal process in which they routinely execute billionaires.
[0:08] More billionaires
[0:08] have died in China in the past 10, 20 years than any other fucking country with
[0:17] the average
[0:18] age of the billionaire that's dying in an untimely death is like 48 or
[0:22] something. I don't want
[0:25] to fucking kill billionaires. Obviously, I don't I don't think that I don't
[0:28] think that that should
[0:29] happen. That's terrible. But it's absolutely preposterous that the American
[0:34] government can't even
[0:36] fucking combat price gouging. You know, it should never get to that.
[0:49] It's crazy. Federal level as to how we can help families. Gas prices began
[0:54] climbing as inflation
[0:56] grew worse and supply chain. I mean, here it is. Yeah, Kate Aranoff can't be
[1:01] overstated how
[1:02] weird it is that the US has basically no control over its own resources. Just
[1:05] an extraordinary
[1:06] generous subsidy regime that pumps private sector companies with cash and then
[1:10] begs or
[1:11] berates them into doing what it wants. This is straight up what it is. This is
[1:15] straight
[1:15] up. What the fuck's going on? And that's why I say, you know, leader chairman,
[1:20] please save us.
[1:21] You know, I hold my hands up in the sky and I say, listen, like one day, ins
[1:25] hallah.
[1:26] I mean, think about it, dude. Think about it. Please, please for a second. Just
[1:38] think about it.
[1:38] Our tax dollars literally keep these fucking companies afloat. They keep them
[1:44] profitable. They keep them afloat through tumultuous times like COVID. Our
[1:49] government buys
[1:50] additional fucking oil barrels for reserves at a time when we don't need them.
[1:54] Okay. And then we act like we have no power. Like we just have no fucking power
[2:01] , dude.
[2:01] But please don't scroll over my meme. What? Oh, this one. Yeah, corporations
[2:08] forced to raise
[2:08] prices, record breaking corporate profits. Yeah. All I'm saying is this kind of
[2:19] shit
[2:19] that goes against the, you know, overall prosperity of the population would not
[2:26] be tolerated in a
[2:27] country like China. Country like China gets a lot wrong. Okay, there's a lot of
[2:31] shit out there.
[2:32] That's fucked up, whatever. But this is one area where they got it right.
[2:37] The, the prosperity of the people should take precedent over the profit
[2:46] incentives of
[2:46] a tiny fraction of shareholders.
[2:58] Chantel, reminder you can criticize your grassy without attacking for things
[3:01] like his age,
[3:02] mental state, voting record, personal reliefs and how he dresses. If you accuse
[3:07] him of wearing
[3:08] a diaper, he won't see it. But all of your followers who wear a diaper will and
[3:12] it's funny. Good job.
[3:13] Sometimes is sometimes Felix's reply guys are funny.
[3:20] Anyway, it wild issues unfold it then sword after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
[3:35] Republicans
[3:35] blame the Biden administration for hurting efforts to expand energy production
[3:40] here at home.
[3:41] No matter who you blame, many Americans are being forced to make changes.
[3:46] 59% of Americans say they plan to change their driving habits now that gas is
[3:51] more than $4 per
[3:53] gallon and three out of four people say they'll try to drive less if prices top
[3:58] $5.
[4:07] You know, it's funny. Other than forgetting the top of the hour ad break and
[4:14] then running
[4:15] it five minutes in and then telling you if you no longer want to see those ads
[4:19] that all you need
[4:19] to do is subscribe and which you can subscribe for $5 or for free or the to
[4:23] crime. Of course.
[4:27] Or if you're lucky, you can get gifted a sub of course.
[4:36] Here's the outbreak now.
[4:38] What's funny in this situation is that Republicans are blaming the branded
[4:50] administration
[4:50] and the branded administration is blaming Russia when literally it's just the
[4:56] oil and gas giants.
[5:01] That's it. Like they're both running defense for our oil and gas giants. Our
[5:08] fossil fuel industry.
[5:10] They are literally price gouging. That's it. That's what they're doing.
[5:15] And all Brandon is doing is just fucking, you know, hey, hey, sweaty. That's
[5:20] not great.
[5:20] That's not great. You better stop is sweaty. It's like, bro, you're the
[5:27] president, dude.
[5:28] Literally do capital punishment on like one CEO. What the fuck are you doing?
[5:33] Just like one, dude, one. The rest will fall in line. What the fuck are we
[5:39] doing?
[5:39] Legally speaking, of course, because we do kill people in this country legally
[5:45] for the record
[5:46] and also for those of you who are like freaking out, you know, it's okay. I
[5:50] guess when it's a
[5:51] fucking mentally ill black guy, but totally unacceptable. When I say one
[5:55] fucking billionaire
[5:57] that has caused a tremendous amount of fucking harm in comparison to one
[6:02] literally mentally
[6:03] deficient black dude that the state of Texas is like, we have to kill this guy
[6:07] or else everything
[6:08] falls apart. None of you motherfuckers give a shit when that happens on a daily
[6:13] fucking on a monthly
[6:14] yearly basis. But the moment I say like, wait, why can't we do capital
[6:19] punishment for dudes who
[6:20] cause like so much endless amounts of pain and frustration? If it's such an
[6:27] adequate deterrent
[6:29] and everyone goes, whoa, hold on. I don't care about the mentally ill black guy
[6:36] , but I could one day
[6:37] become a billionaire.
[6:51] Nationalize the motherfucking extraction industries, okay, and jail the fucking
[6:59] CEOs.
[7:00] Yeah, the irony, of course, is that you are significantly more likely to be
[7:07] mentally ill or
[7:09] are mentally ill than a fucking billionaire, like by the widest of margins.
[7:15] In California in response to those rising prices, lawmakers have proposed a $
[7:20] 400 rebate for all
[7:22] taxpayers. Supporters say it's a better approach because it doesn't affect
[7:27] funding for future
[7:28] transportation projects. And it helps more people. Hi, everyone, George Stephan
[7:33] opoulos.
[7:34] Art confirmation.
[7:41] His code is dropped. Hearings begin this morning for Supreme Court nominee
[7:45] Katanji Brown Jackson. Now, if approved, the federal judge would be the first
[7:49] black woman
[7:49] on our highest court. Leaders from both parties say they want to keep things
[7:54] civil,
[7:54] but some Republicans are previewing a line of attack. Nicole Killian is in the
[7:58] hearing room
[7:59] where it's all going to happen. A little Hamilton reference there, Nicole, but
[8:02] it is a room where
[8:03] it's going to happen. Nicole, good morning to you. Absolutely, Gail, good
[8:07] morning to you. These
[8:08] hearings will last for four days. But today is really all about introductions.
[8:13] Judge Jackson
[8:14] will be seated just behind me where she'll deliver an opening statement. Then
[8:17] she'll be questioned
[8:18] by senators starting tomorrow. And a White House official confirms to CBS News
[8:22] that President Biden
[8:24] and Vice President Harris are expected to watch some of the proceedings.
[8:27] I'm pleased to nominate Judge Jackson.
[8:31] Less than a month after President Biden nominated the first black woman to the
[8:35] Supreme Court.
[8:37] Judge Katanji Brown Jackson will make one of the most important cases of her
[8:41] career to the
[8:42] Senate Judiciary Committee. And if I'm fortunate enough to be confirmed as the
[8:47] next associate's
[8:48] justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, I can only hope that my life
[8:53] and career
[8:54] will inspire the Jim Clyburn's choice. Didn't make it future generations of
[9:03] Americans.
[9:04] The Harvard Law graduate and mother of two currently sits on the D.C. Circuit
[9:09] Court of Appeals.
[9:10] She has also been a district judge, public defender, and served on the U.S.
[9:15] Sentencing Commission.
[9:16] This is the last one this week, Judge.
[9:18] For weeks, Judge Jackson has made the round on Capitol Hill,
[9:24] meeting with 44 senators from both parties. She's also been participating in
[9:29] moot court
[9:30] sessions with White House staff. She's gone back through her college career,
[9:35] her law school career.
[9:36] She has done all the due diligence on herself that the senator should be doing.
[9:42] How is this one different? Oh, it is different. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin
[9:46] chairs the Judiciary
[9:48] Committee. How much pressure do you feel to get this right? I feel some. I'll
[9:52] be very honest with
[9:53] you. I want to do this in the right way. I also think the committee's not on
[9:58] trial, but the
[9:59] committee. Why is Dick all over the news lately?
[10:01] Our Mitch McConnell, but like not as fucking good at his job.
[10:09] Straight up.
[10:13] People will say Hassan, he's the whip. Not the same. Not the same fucking,
[10:28] not the same position. No, I think he plays a more significant role in the
[10:32] Democratic party
[10:32] than than, uh, cuck does. Cuck Schurmer.
[10:36] And no, I'm not talking about him overseeing the confirmation hearings. I'm
[10:45] talking about him.
[10:46] He was on the fucking Ukrainian, uh, video to earlier. He's also terrible.
[10:54] Like absolutely terrible committees. But of course, I mean,
[10:59] it's like redundant to say that an Illinois politician is bad. You know what I
[11:04] mean? It's like
[11:05] just the absolute fucking worst, sickest freaks coming out of there,
[11:10] except for our rotund and perhaps greatest governor of all time. Just the
[11:17] absolute best.
[11:24] I don't.
[11:26] Baby, motherfucking Brits, girl, baby.
[11:29] You're right. He's a bigger player than the damn party than Chuck. Yeah, of
[11:34] course.
[11:34] Being watched closely. Don't forget that 90% of your jazz from the south side
[11:38] of Chicago. Yeah.
[11:39] Republican Josh Hawley has signaled he wants to use the hearings to go after
[11:44] Jackson's sentencing
[11:46] record. This is someone who has consistently let sex predators, child sex
[11:46] predators off the hook.
[11:53] This attack that we've seen over the last couple of days relies on fact.
[11:57] You're literally a Republican, dude.
