Passage 185: start 00:11:46.560; old end 00:11:46.560; new end 00:11:46.561

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.350
no. They have a legal process in which they routinely execute billionaires.

2
00:00:08.350 --> 00:00:08.960
More billionaires

3
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:17.360
have died in China in the past 10, 20 years than any other fucking country with

4
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:18.640
the average

5
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:22.660
age of the billionaire that's dying in an untimely death is like 48 or

6
00:00:22.660 --> 00:00:25.680
something. I don't want

7
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:28.860
to fucking kill billionaires. Obviously, I don't I don't think that I don't

8
00:00:28.860 --> 00:00:29.520
think that that should

9
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:34.960
happen. That's terrible. But it's absolutely preposterous that the American

10
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.800
government can't even

11
00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:43.040
fucking combat price gouging. You know, it should never get to that.

12
00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:54.600
It's crazy. Federal level as to how we can help families. Gas prices began

13
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.080
climbing as inflation

14
00:00:56.080 --> 00:01:01.130
grew worse and supply chain. I mean, here it is. Yeah, Kate Aranoff can't be

15
00:01:01.130 --> 00:01:02.640
overstated how

16
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.890
weird it is that the US has basically no control over its own resources. Just

17
00:01:05.890 --> 00:01:06.480
an extraordinary

18
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.860
generous subsidy regime that pumps private sector companies with cash and then

19
00:01:10.860 --> 00:01:11.440
begs or

20
00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:15.460
berates them into doing what it wants. This is straight up what it is. This is

21
00:01:15.460 --> 00:01:15.600
straight

22
00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:20.370
up. What the fuck's going on? And that's why I say, you know, leader chairman,

23
00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:21.120
please save us.

24
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.930
You know, I hold my hands up in the sky and I say, listen, like one day, ins

25
00:01:25.930 --> 00:01:26.720
hallah.

26
00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:38.090
I mean, think about it, dude. Think about it. Please, please for a second. Just

27
00:01:38.090 --> 00:01:38.720
think about it.

28
00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:44.000
Our tax dollars literally keep these fucking companies afloat. They keep them

29
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.490
profitable. They keep them afloat through tumultuous times like COVID. Our

30
00:01:49.490 --> 00:01:50.560
government buys

31
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:54.640
additional fucking oil barrels for reserves at a time when we don't need them.

32
00:01:54.640 --> 00:02:01.460
Okay. And then we act like we have no power. Like we just have no fucking power

33
00:02:01.460 --> 00:02:01.920
, dude.

34
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:08.240
But please don't scroll over my meme. What? Oh, this one. Yeah, corporations

35
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:08.560
forced to raise

36
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:19.200
prices, record breaking corporate profits. Yeah. All I'm saying is this kind of

37
00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:19.440
shit

38
00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:26.480
that goes against the, you know, overall prosperity of the population would not

39
00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:27.520
be tolerated in a

40
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.950
country like China. Country like China gets a lot wrong. Okay, there's a lot of

41
00:02:31.950 --> 00:02:32.640
shit out there.

42
00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:37.840
That's fucked up, whatever. But this is one area where they got it right.

43
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:46.080
The, the prosperity of the people should take precedent over the profit

44
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:46.320
incentives of

45
00:02:46.320 --> 00:02:50.480
a tiny fraction of shareholders.

46
00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:01.760
Chantel, reminder you can criticize your grassy without attacking for things

47
00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:02.320
like his age,

48
00:03:02.320 --> 00:03:07.750
mental state, voting record, personal reliefs and how he dresses. If you accuse

49
00:03:07.750 --> 00:03:08.320
him of wearing

50
00:03:08.320 --> 00:03:12.260
a diaper, he won't see it. But all of your followers who wear a diaper will and

51
00:03:12.260 --> 00:03:13.920
it's funny. Good job.

52
00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:20.880
Sometimes is sometimes Felix's reply guys are funny.

53
00:03:20.880 --> 00:03:35.290
Anyway, it wild issues unfold it then sword after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

54
00:03:35.290 --> 00:03:35.920
Republicans

55
00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:40.560
blame the Biden administration for hurting efforts to expand energy production

56
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:41.840
here at home.

57
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:46.800
No matter who you blame, many Americans are being forced to make changes.

58
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.860
59% of Americans say they plan to change their driving habits now that gas is

59
00:03:51.860 --> 00:03:53.280
more than $4 per

60
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.670
gallon and three out of four people say they'll try to drive less if prices top

61
00:03:58.670 --> 00:03:59.120
$5.

62
00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:14.650
You know, it's funny. Other than forgetting the top of the hour ad break and

63
00:04:14.650 --> 00:04:15.120
then running

64
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.120
it five minutes in and then telling you if you no longer want to see those ads

65
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:19.520
that all you need

66
00:04:19.520 --> 00:04:23.550
to do is subscribe and which you can subscribe for $5 or for free or the to

67
00:04:23.550 --> 00:04:27.200
crime. Of course.

68
00:04:27.200 --> 00:04:33.520
Or if you're lucky, you can get gifted a sub of course.

69
00:04:36.880 --> 00:04:38.000
Here's the outbreak now.

70
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:50.010
What's funny in this situation is that Republicans are blaming the branded

71
00:04:50.010 --> 00:04:50.480
administration

72
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:56.720
and the branded administration is blaming Russia when literally it's just the

73
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:57.920
oil and gas giants.

74
00:05:01.200 --> 00:05:08.800
That's it. Like they're both running defense for our oil and gas giants. Our

75
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.000
fossil fuel industry.

76
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.600
They are literally price gouging. That's it. That's what they're doing.

77
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.370
And all Brandon is doing is just fucking, you know, hey, hey, sweaty. That's

78
00:05:20.370 --> 00:05:20.800
not great.

79
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:27.760
That's not great. You better stop is sweaty. It's like, bro, you're the

80
00:05:27.760 --> 00:05:28.880
president, dude.

81
00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:33.200
Literally do capital punishment on like one CEO. What the fuck are you doing?

82
00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:39.360
Just like one, dude, one. The rest will fall in line. What the fuck are we

83
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:39.760
doing?

84
00:05:39.760 --> 00:05:45.250
Legally speaking, of course, because we do kill people in this country legally

85
00:05:45.250 --> 00:05:46.640
for the record

86
00:05:46.640 --> 00:05:50.660
and also for those of you who are like freaking out, you know, it's okay. I

87
00:05:50.660 --> 00:05:51.120
guess when it's a

88
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:55.910
fucking mentally ill black guy, but totally unacceptable. When I say one

89
00:05:55.910 --> 00:05:57.360
fucking billionaire

90
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:02.720
that has caused a tremendous amount of fucking harm in comparison to one

91
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:03.680
literally mentally

92
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:07.620
deficient black dude that the state of Texas is like, we have to kill this guy

93
00:06:07.620 --> 00:06:08.400
or else everything

94
00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:13.180
falls apart. None of you motherfuckers give a shit when that happens on a daily

95
00:06:13.180 --> 00:06:14.480
fucking on a monthly

96
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:19.280
yearly basis. But the moment I say like, wait, why can't we do capital

97
00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:20.800
punishment for dudes who

98
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:27.680
cause like so much endless amounts of pain and frustration? If it's such an

99
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.280
adequate deterrent

100
00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:36.070
and everyone goes, whoa, hold on. I don't care about the mentally ill black guy

101
00:06:36.070 --> 00:06:37.440
, but I could one day

102
00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:40.240
become a billionaire.

103
00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:59.790
Nationalize the motherfucking extraction industries, okay, and jail the fucking

104
00:06:59.790 --> 00:07:00.800
CEOs.

105
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:07.720
Yeah, the irony, of course, is that you are significantly more likely to be

106
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.200
mentally ill or

107
00:07:09.200 --> 00:07:14.400
are mentally ill than a fucking billionaire, like by the widest of margins.

108
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:20.890
In California in response to those rising prices, lawmakers have proposed a $

109
00:07:20.890 --> 00:07:22.720
400 rebate for all

110
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:27.080
taxpayers. Supporters say it's a better approach because it doesn't affect

111
00:07:27.080 --> 00:07:28.240
funding for future

112
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:33.860
transportation projects. And it helps more people. Hi, everyone, George Stephan

113
00:07:33.860 --> 00:07:34.480
opoulos.

114
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.840
Art confirmation.

115
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:45.120
His code is dropped. Hearings begin this morning for Supreme Court nominee

116
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:49.200
Katanji Brown Jackson. Now, if approved, the federal judge would be the first

117
00:07:49.200 --> 00:07:49.840
black woman

118
00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:54.140
on our highest court. Leaders from both parties say they want to keep things

119
00:07:54.140 --> 00:07:54.560
civil,

120
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.640
but some Republicans are previewing a line of attack. Nicole Killian is in the

121
00:07:58.640 --> 00:07:59.200
hearing room

122
00:07:59.200 --> 00:08:02.590
where it's all going to happen. A little Hamilton reference there, Nicole, but

123
00:08:02.590 --> 00:08:03.360
it is a room where

124
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.380
it's going to happen. Nicole, good morning to you. Absolutely, Gail, good

125
00:08:07.380 --> 00:08:08.560
morning to you. These

126
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:13.440
hearings will last for four days. But today is really all about introductions.

127
00:08:13.440 --> 00:08:14.080
Judge Jackson

128
00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:17.760
will be seated just behind me where she'll deliver an opening statement. Then

129
00:08:17.760 --> 00:08:18.640
she'll be questioned

130
00:08:18.640 --> 00:08:22.870
by senators starting tomorrow. And a White House official confirms to CBS News

131
00:08:22.870 --> 00:08:24.080
that President Biden

132
00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:27.760
and Vice President Harris are expected to watch some of the proceedings.

133
00:08:27.760 --> 00:08:31.520
I'm pleased to nominate Judge Jackson.

134
00:08:31.520 --> 00:08:35.600
Less than a month after President Biden nominated the first black woman to the

135
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:36.480
Supreme Court.

136
00:08:37.040 --> 00:08:41.360
Judge Katanji Brown Jackson will make one of the most important cases of her

137
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:42.240
career to the

138
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:47.440
Senate Judiciary Committee. And if I'm fortunate enough to be confirmed as the

139
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:48.720
next associate's

140
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:53.920
justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, I can only hope that my life

141
00:08:53.920 --> 00:08:54.960
and career

142
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:03.750
will inspire the Jim Clyburn's choice. Didn't make it future generations of

143
00:09:03.750 --> 00:09:04.960
Americans.

144
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:09.180
The Harvard Law graduate and mother of two currently sits on the D.C. Circuit

145
00:09:09.180 --> 00:09:10.240
Court of Appeals.

146
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:15.010
She has also been a district judge, public defender, and served on the U.S.

147
00:09:15.010 --> 00:09:16.000
Sentencing Commission.

148
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.080
This is the last one this week, Judge.

149
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:24.000
For weeks, Judge Jackson has made the round on Capitol Hill,

150
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:29.690
meeting with 44 senators from both parties. She's also been participating in

151
00:09:29.690 --> 00:09:30.640
moot court

152
00:09:30.640 --> 00:09:35.440
sessions with White House staff. She's gone back through her college career,

153
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:36.480
her law school career.

154
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:42.160
She has done all the due diligence on herself that the senator should be doing.

155
00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:46.960
How is this one different? Oh, it is different. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin

156
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.160
chairs the Judiciary

157
00:09:48.160 --> 00:09:52.500
Committee. How much pressure do you feel to get this right? I feel some. I'll

158
00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:53.280
be very honest with

159
00:09:53.280 --> 00:09:58.430
you. I want to do this in the right way. I also think the committee's not on

160
00:09:58.430 --> 00:09:59.200
trial, but the

161
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.920
committee. Why is Dick all over the news lately?

162
00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:09.200
Our Mitch McConnell, but like not as fucking good at his job.

163
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.200
Straight up.

164
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:26.880
People will say Hassan, he's the whip. Not the same. Not the same fucking,

165
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:32.260
not the same position. No, I think he plays a more significant role in the

166
00:10:32.260 --> 00:10:32.880
Democratic party

167
00:10:32.880 --> 00:10:36.240
than than, uh, cuck does. Cuck Schurmer.

168
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:45.280
And no, I'm not talking about him overseeing the confirmation hearings. I'm

169
00:10:45.280 --> 00:10:46.080
talking about him.

170
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:52.400
He was on the fucking Ukrainian, uh, video to earlier. He's also terrible.

171
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:59.600
Like absolutely terrible committees. But of course, I mean,

172
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:04.650
it's like redundant to say that an Illinois politician is bad. You know what I

173
00:11:04.650 --> 00:11:05.280
mean? It's like

174
00:11:05.280 --> 00:11:10.400
just the absolute fucking worst, sickest freaks coming out of there,

175
00:11:10.400 --> 00:11:17.540
except for our rotund and perhaps greatest governor of all time. Just the

176
00:11:17.540 --> 00:11:18.960
absolute best.

177
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.880
I don't.

178
00:11:26.880 --> 00:11:29.760
Baby, motherfucking Brits, girl, baby.

179
00:11:29.760 --> 00:11:34.100
You're right. He's a bigger player than the damn party than Chuck. Yeah, of

180
00:11:34.100 --> 00:11:34.800
course.

181
00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:38.780
Being watched closely. Don't forget that 90% of your jazz from the south side

182
00:11:38.780 --> 00:11:39.840
of Chicago. Yeah.

183
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:44.910
Republican Josh Hawley has signaled he wants to use the hearings to go after

184
00:11:44.910 --> 00:11:46.560
Jackson's sentencing

185
00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:46.561
record. This is someone who has consistently let sex predators, child sex

186
00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:53.520
predators off the hook.

187
00:11:53.520 --> 00:11:57.200
This attack that we've seen over the last couple of days relies on fact.

188
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.880
You're literally a Republican, dude.
