beautiful. >> thank you. >> you look spectacular. >> mom and dad i know take good care of you, right? >> i want to the american girls store. >> i want to go, too. >> they may have to mortgage the house to pay for that doll but we're so proud of her. the wise men have found christmas everywhere. see you tomorrow. >> i'm filling in for greg. he said he's off skiing with a glass table and holed up

hundreds. i don't get it. i'm glad i made it back to nyc especially with that epidemic that the hallmark channel keeps covering. so, let's talk about the latest twitter files. earliest this we are it was shown the government went against twitter classifying content as misinformation. it was easy to miss if you started the week like i did it'sing mashed potatoes and drinking beer in your bathrobe. thanks for the tip, julie. >> any time. >> you're so lucky it was too cold for hotel staff to put knew a manger. anyway a lot of us had already figured the government was influencing covid content on

twitter so it's not shocking to see it confirmed. but, much like the 49th time tristan thompson got busted che cheating on chloe the fact is not making is what makes it egregious. i didn't come up with that kardashian analogy. i got it from kudlow news letter. he's into it. the government shouldn't be able to get away with manipulating narratives because we are so used to hearing about it doing so. instead the more we hear about it the madered we should be. sure, conservatives shouldn't be the only ones mad. the latest files reveal the trump administration put pressure on twitter to suppress tweets about panic buying. the biden administration

censorship seems to be more pervasive. that's not the reason that not conservatives should be upset by this stuff. it's because we all should be upset any time government uses influence to manipulate us for its own gain. sure the government pressuring twitter is not the same as forcing them but i freaked out over emails that were far less constant consequential, like the ones warning me this is the last chance to use my cohl's cash. more importantly, this is about so much more than twitter. it's about how messed up it is for the government to consider itself the authority in distinguishing misinformation and disinformation in the first

place. the people that call civilian casualties collateral damage shouldn't decide for us what's true. why? for too and reasons and one in the government is made up of people and people make mistakes, even smart well intentioned people can be horriblely wrong at one time and one that cries at your bachelorette party. not always about you, ashley. you can't always expect people to always have the right answer. in some cases not even if the question is where are you right now? but the second reason is even azariahier. people in power can also be tempted to use their power to purposely deceive us especially in order to keep it. any perception that such a fallible entity with the means

and motivation to deceive us is somehow a reliable ar bitter of truth is stupid. it's like when car dealerships give awards to them service especially since the government claims have been wrong a lot like hunter's laptop or the administration calls it, huh? or how it's actually not crazy to think a virus that appeared near a lab full of viruses might have come from that virus lab. all that and in order and they still expect to us blindly trust them. i haven't seen such shameless comingyness since the last time i watched jesse waters primetime. one of the important check we have on government is our freedom to speak out against it by throwing out misinformation

and disinformation the government is suggesting it's somehow worthy or even capable of drawing a distinction between what is true and isn't, even though that's so clearly not the case. if you really think that's a good idea even after they've given us so and reasons not to trust them i really don't know what to tell you except that tristan thompson is single and you might work out great as his girlfriend. welcome tonight's guest. she will try anything once except sobriety. julie van darren. when this comedian comes on stage they call it atom bomb. tv writer procedure adam yenzer. like your niece he doesn't want socks for christmas.

retired marine corps bomb technician joey jones. [applause] >> when niagara falls he picked a backup. nwa national championship, tyra. j.j. you've been on tv all day, every time i look on, you're on. let me ask you you about this. do you think that anything will change or anyone be held accountable for this stuff? >> no. it's mutually exclusive destruction. >> mutually assured destruction, how i approach my relationships. >> there you go. when people are in on it, like powder kegs, nowhere to go with it. what twitter did was pretty bad. what the federal government did was horn does. when it wares a tool that allowed themselves to be used but think about the way families

and people were treated over the vaccine and masks and to think twitter was suppressing valid information that now the government acknowledges when we had want to talk about misinformation that kills people, if masks were ever french tony fauci told everybody not to wear them for a while but not separatist 3d. >> know what else happened in covid? >> what? >> julie today home school her kids. >> yes. that's when the heavy drinking started. >> is that when the alcohol started? >> that's when i doubled the content from three to six bottles a day. >> if you didn't do that drinking you wouldn't have had wrote a good kids book. >> right, about morals and values. >> fiona? >> fiona is fantastic. >> hello. >> i wonder if that was all the f-words in the flight when you wrote it. >> you're right. i have to change i. as far as this is concerned first of all what ever happened to free speech? what happened to the freedom to

debate? so the government is trying to el us what to do which i once was a bit of a controlling girlfriend. i never told they had what to say or do. if i want to be censored i'll call [bleep] on the government and get bleeped just like that. >> no swear words in the monologue because we have julie on. >> adam who are these people trusting government? >> i don't know who trusts the government. i don't think anyone at twitter will be held accountable. i feel if elon musk makes it a free speech platform that's good. if he destroys it that's good. either good or no twitter. were they only sensoring information that had a political agenda attached toy. could you find people posting

that healing crystals work and they are meditating and talking to aliens and nobody would post it was misinformation but say the vaccine might not be effective, it's don't listen to this nut job. >> can't do it. so tyra whoever wrote these questions wrote a good one for you. tyra, what do you think about this? >> that's a good question. >> it was one of the jealous moments. >> is that one is too good. >> you got to go with it. it's really deep. speaking of deep, you know, we are all about what twitter was doing, right? and the good news is that elon musk bought it and opened it up but it's still happening. anyone has skramd and facebook it's still happening. like a perfect example of again the reason why i was shadowed i

have no idea. all i know jim picks pictures of shows pictures of my kids so i don't know how was trying to go after with that but in it was lifted when elon came in all of a suds ten numbers of followers went crazy like over 300,000. instagram i got one more during that time. and i don't have a facebook but it's the same thing where again you're like dad, i saw you drinking. you're in trouble. he's like i'm the dad, what the are you going to do about it? it's the same thing with the government and twitter. we saw they did this but they have to police themselves so nothing is going to happen so that's the down side so it's up to us to start filtering looking and researching smart ening yourself because the government isn't going to let you do it.

>> i'm the dad of the show right now. all right. up next, the supreme court keeps and order to slow crossings at the border. here's one that'll really take you back. it's customized home insurance from liberty mutual!!! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ waiting. sometimes it's just inevitable. but if you're over 50 or live with a chronic condition, waiting could be deadly. because conditions like heart disease or diabetes raise your risk of serious illness or death from untreated covid. and if you don't get treatment within days, you may not be able to get treatment. so, got covid symptoms? get tested and get treated right away. it can't wait.

>> it's a crisis with immigration so biden goes on vacation and while the supreme court sloez the pace by keeping title 42 in place, on tuesday the supreme court voted 5-4 to keep title 42 in place while legal challenges play out. 5-4 reminds me of greg's toes. once you see it you can never forget it. [laughter]. >> now, the policy was enacted in march 2020 at the start of the pandemic.

it allows border agents to immediately turn away migrants on public health grounds. last month a federal judge sided with immigration advocates who sued over it saying it was outdated since covid treatment has improved but several states appealed to the supreme court including texas and arizona saying ending title 42 would make eight worse crisis that the federal government has no plan to deal with. the vote means 19 states will have their had a people heard in february while the biden administration is in charge of keeping the policy in place enforcing it. that doesn't seem a priority for the president. here he is tuesday. >> the boarder is not going to decide apparently. >> that was him leaving for

vacation in st. croix which is and island in the caribbean named after kansas sparkling water pretty sure but critics say regardless of the holidays the trip is ill timed considering the border crisis and a winter storm in the northeast and the locals are mad at joe because of the last time he went to the caribbean with columbus in 1493. so joe, how's the vacation going? >> no, no, no look, i got to stay out of the sun. leads to premature aging. good to get r and r. don't begrudge me a little vacation, would you? if you'll running in 2024 i'm going to have to get back in that basement. come on, man.

[applause] >> all right, julie. so neal gorsuch sided with the emergency judges saying you can't saying this is and emergency covid anymore at the ends of 2022. i agree with that. i don't think that necessarily think everything is cool there. >> no it's not. if you ask the white house we have closed borders but they're open borders under this administration 2.3 million immigrants have crossed compared to 700,000 in 220 so thank god we got oklahomans harris on i. this administration knows how to solve problems but as far as problems are concerned he needs to get to the border. he's never been there. i do believe we should give him credit because he's made to it the border of the north american, excuse me north atlantic ocean and caribbean sea so there's that so baby steps and you just got to move over to mexico.

it's not far. >> see, here's the thing. do you field like we notice that much a difference when biden is not on vacation? >> listen, to be honest it's getting hard every time or president speaks we need closed captioning. know what i'm saying? every time he talks you can't blame that [bleep] on the plane. that's him. you turn that plane engine off it's [slurring] it's like no, please don't go to the border. he will encourage have been to run over. as soon as he shows up. he's saying to come, more of you! then he will wandered off. then the border agents have to find the president because he's lost somewhere in mexico. wait a minute. go to the border, bro. yeah.

>> yeah, i mean, j.j., this is supposed to be congress's job to solve this immigration system isn't built to handle this. i believe you have so much faith in congress to figure it out. >> hallelujah, [bleep] where's the tylenol? here's the deal. this is what is so terrible about this. gorsuch is absolutely correct. this is the hypocrisy of congress. we have argument the pandemic is over the republicans arguing it's serious enough to close the border and this is such the way d.c. works. we do have a medical crisis at the border but it's through the poisoning of people through feint -- fentanyl. the republicans in congress

should be saying if we are going to use title 42 do it for a legitimate season. do your job correctly. we are looking at kechd mccarthy and mitch mccontinue. let's bring legislation for it and maybe fix it. >> what do you think? >> what do i think? [applause] >> i think you're the guy to solve it. >> i think i can solve it. >> i like that title 42 is going to stay in place. i think it's the wrong justification for it but i like the it gave the other side a chance to use it politically. the republicans go we don't worry about the mask mandates and covid lockdowns. immigrants coming through what if they have had covid? they can be the fear monkers there. >> you're okay with the hypocrisy?

>> i'm okay with the hypocrisy because it gives them a chance to use it against them. >> i think that because of they don't get enough credit for how much they're messing up at the border actually because also there's people who want to come here legally like that want to work here around contribute to our economy that are unable and i think that anybody who wants to contribute to our economy should be free to do so. it's not open in that sense. this is a total disaster and they're denying it is. >> you know, they didn't make everyone where masks. tall illegal immigrants weren't required to wear masks. you can't say the mask mandated applied to everybody. illegals got to come here and didn't have to do anything. >> the mask mandate is never applied if you act like enough of a bitch. >> i'm more principled than

pragmatic. that's why my life sucks. up next, how a principal may have lied to protect the unqualified.

to finally lose 80 pounds and keep it off with golo is amazing. i've been maintaining. the weight is gone and it's never coming back. with golo, i've not only kept off the weight but i'm happier, i'm healthier, and i have a new lease on life. golo is the only thing that will let you lose weight and keep it off. who loses 138 pounds in nine months? i did! golo's a lifestyle change and you make the change and it stays off. (soft music)

>> was a principal deceiving students who were high achieving? administrators at a top rated virginia high school reportedly withheld students about they are national merit awards until it was too late to list them on some college applications. it apparently affected about 1200 students at thomas jefferson high school for science and technology and was all in and effort to promote equity. the school has even implemented a polesi awarding 50 percent just for showing up to class and has eliminated 0's entirely. but back in october, the principal allegedly received a list of students to had earned the national merit distinction

but didn't tell anyone for weeks. the school board said they're looking into the mattered which is the same thing i say when my husband asks what i'm i'll be home. [laughter]. >> allegedly. >> looking into it. >> yeah. in a few hours. just confuse them so much they don't argue back. so julie what would you do if you found out this was going on at your kid's school? >> i'm pissed this didn't exist when i got it because then i would have had a fighting chance of passing all the passes i flunked. night grades in high school fun fact were so bad i would fail most if not all. i'd come home tell my parents and sell it to them but they're high f's. >> which isn't real by the way. >> in my world it really was and here you got a 50 just for showing up. that means all i would have had to scored would be like nine

more points to get a d-minus. i always look at the glass half full. >> d-mine news is yes. that was my goal. >> d-minus is way better than f-plus. >> they were high fs. >> congratulations. that's a lucky mom. >> this is so gross to me joey because working hard to bring yourself up is supposed to be what the country is kind of about. right? >> yeah. you know, maybe at one point. today weird talking about how our military can't recruitment we can't meet recruiting requirements. when you're in a country that has to fight for freedom maybe it doesn't respect it memorial day because it know no longer wants to protect itself any more. when your schooled board no longer cares about the students maybe we are not publicly educating. it a 1.7 grade average but i was gifted, you know. i just was lazy.

okay, and so, not being lacey more important than being smart. i had the part that mattered least. the kids that aren't lazy go in make a's should be rewarded and acknowledged and the fact they're going to do this to these kids because they might be affluent, white, middle class, things that are just horrible now. i don't get it. >> i was a great student because i didn't have had anybody inviting me to social activities. >>. [laughter]. >> what high school? >> adam, this hurt the kids that worked for it but it also didn't help the other kids who didn't get it i'd they are. >> i feel it did help them because a lot of them could tell their parents i have and award, the teachers are hiding it. they're just not letting me know i won a national merit award also.

they had went from giving everyone and award to no one and award. that's equity. it wasn't they were affluent white people there. were a lot of asian americans and it didn't serve equity purposes so they hid it. >> what would you do if this was your kids? >> walk in there and stare? >> no. i'd invite the principal out to lunch, a quiet lunch somewhere. >> in your shed. >> on the menu would be his ass. okay. this, this is what's wrong right now in this country is 2005 lost our fight and being run by cowards because the pandemic hurt other education thousand per cent. kids grades went down i think eighth grade literacy for math 80 percent lower than it ever

was. when do you when you're bunched in the mouth? you get up and fight. what are we going to do? fixing the kids would take effort. that would take accountability. parents would have had to put down their smartphones. that would take the student union putting money where it's supposed to go. they gave i think it was $1.5 trillion or billion whatever it was to schools. only 15 percent wasn't to the actual schools so you're setting the table for failure. then you're saying instead of recognizeing the filed you're we are going to eliminate success so we are not going to tell you that your straight a student deserves a medal. i remember having to go to sell bliss sitting there with the biggest grin because i knew it was getting one. i kicked ass. i wasn't like you losers.

3.0. and played sports. kicked ass. >> yeah. >> one year. [applause] >> i heard them because i'm a 3.0 student so one year i was getting the drama award because i won a shakes appear festival word and i was getting in english although i didn't write about shipwrecks i did have and essay about how to fix up the school cafeteria because i like food so i had two awards and looked at homey next to me what are you getting, the next year that dude wanted to get and award. we are taking that away. no one gets and award. this is the time we should be recognizing success because if your student is getting straight a's after the pandemic masks and stuff that's the kids we should want to be. how did you do it young man? er who kids would see it i want to be like that kid instead of the kid who sits in class, you can't ask me that. we need to step it under.

[applause] >> julie. the said they're looking night. i don't think that's true. >> i'm glad they're not looking into what happened at home when our kids were under our responsibility during those zoom classes. in fact at one point this is the teaching i did my child was in first grade onner in computeered and the class was on there and i was in the kitchen and so she had to come to me because i had to unmute her and she turned the turned the camera on the toilet so i not only stirred my kids up during the pandemic but i have therapy busy owe to other parents so i'm not expecting high a's or low a's, i just want my kids to pass. >> and not show your teacher you're on the toilet. >> yes. >> coming up a famous director says he's done with showing so

>> is the new avatar hacking because the action scenes aren't packing? in a recent interview, director and shipwreck enthusiast james cameron said he cut ten minutes of top gun footage from the new top gun -- of gun footage from the new top gun movie. i've never seen any of this [bleep] so i don't know. [applause] >> keep it honest here. he added he also regrets the path use of firearms in his films. which is odd. if he took out the gun scenes from terminator and aliens they qualify as short films, kind of like those art films greg made in germany. they wouldn't have much of a plochlt and ghb around sid he had would come back, he

wouldn't. but james cameron saying he regrets using guns in his work is part of what cameron describes as his new approach saying i wanted to get rid of the ugliness to find balance between light and dark. translation, cash blocking my windows, hard to see the pool on my racetrack. julie who do you think has worse regrets cameron or you? >> me. that's weird. you read my mind. let me started with guns. they've been in movies since the beginning of movies. where would wild west movies be

without guns? brokeback mountain. >> no, john wayne is not doing brokeback mountains. >> i don't know that. >> the term unpacking would have a complete definition. >> a backpack on your mule to head out of town. >> as far as regrets seriously we all have regrets. my marriage 13 years ago. cam needs to get over it. seriously. no need to regret anything. move on. forget that they every existed. >> adam i really think he might have regretted it more if he made terminator without guns. >> he would not be where he would be today. i personally would rather watch ten minutes of top gun footage than three hours of avatar. i don't know the reason for

editing out guns but think anything that makes the movie shorter is better. [applause] >> james cameron has been on a weird trend lately that testosterone is a toxin. >> i hope that's not true. >> cyrus, we have never seen an old white man who wants to feel bad because he's very rich and has to hate himself to be popular. does it work? >> i'm not a old white man yet. i would imagine he went a young woke woman that had something to

do with this blasphemy. he needs to make up his mind. all of a sudden he's anti-gun. he wants to do the right thing between light and dark but to launch this movie he started from an aquatic park. why would you promote a place that abuses dolphins? but that is okay. but then he decided to cut ten minutes of guns. what makes old men do gun movies? young 20-year-old women. that's what happens. because he's hip. >> yeah. i've seen that in the news before. you're a gun guy.

right? does that make you a menace to society? >> guns are awesome. >> yes. >> listen. the best thing about the avatar movie is i can put it on, fall asleep watch terminator i and ii get a snack and it's the same scene. there is nothing cool about that movie. i could not believe they're making two or three more of these movies. you super size them. >> i never saw that. who has time to watch all these movies? >> you couldn't get away so they filled them all at once. >> listen. he's hollywood. hollywood is going to hollywood. you know who is going to take advantage of this probably whoever does john witt. thanks for keanu reeves. chris pratt doing terminal list.

we are smart enough to know the difference between a movie and real life. i don't expect people to show up ten foot tall. >> you wouldn't be surprised. >> i wouldn't mind. >> you know i bet they have guns. >> up next, they're giving up man's best friend because inflation won't end. really take. it's customized home insurance from liberty mutual!!! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

hearing aids that i can personalize to each ear right from here. brilliant.

>> story in five words. people are giving up pets. adam i guess inflation is making people give up their pets and more than 23 million dpoptd pets in the pandemic and a lot of them, precise number, a lot of them are giving them up. >> i hope theme make some people who didn't care about inflation care about it now. whenever you bring a cute cat face into it that makes everyone care way more than the people who are suffering from inflation. >> julie as you know i do enough for my feral old street cat it's certifi certifiable.

my husband had to drive. i bring up on this show but nobody knows who he is. >> i don't understand the story because if you've got to toss something out of the house or someone, why the cat? ditch the kids. i'm just saying kids are very expensive. they're way more expensive than kibble and kitty litter. >> i admit it's certifiable. >> very much. can i give my opinion on cats? i respect the fact you're the daddy of the show. >> thank you. >> i don't hate cats. i respect cats. dogs are really dumb and they're perfect pets and great tools to get things done. dogs are basically cute men.

[applause] >> and they will hump anything. >> that's true. my dog loves everybody, just as much as he loves me. i'm the one that pays for your life and some random person on the street you want to rub against them? that's why i'm a cat person. she would never love somebody random. >> she hates everybody. >> this one says, tyrus, thoughts? >> i thought they had foendz it in when i -- boy. lazy sons of bitches. they even put that on paper. >> literally. >> like she couldn't come up with that. >> like what do you gheng in? then it was too much work.

thoughts. >> after all it is wednesday and like i said the pandemic brought out the worst in a lot of people and people misbehaving and bad people were like let me get a dog. it's going to make my life better. after a while the was let me go, get me out of here. probably a good thing because if you're not going to fully commit to an animal give it up. keeping it home not doing anything is bad. so it's a good idea. >> don't go away. we are going to be right back. waiting.

sometimes it's just inevitable. but if you're over 50 or live with a chronic condition, waiting could be deadly. because conditions like heart disease or diabetes raise your risk of serious illness or death from untreated covid. and if you don't get treatment within days, you may not be able to get treatment. so, got covid symptoms? get tested and get treated right away. it can't wait.

. okay, before we go, 2022 is almost over. it is the perfect time to look back at all of the flaw less skits we made this year. by that, i mean all the times we screw up. >> a lot of other cities would have said hey, stop [ bleep ] in the street, okay? [ bleep ]. >> [ laughter ] >> hold on, hammer? >> yeah, i am not sleeping

enough? >> what was that last one? [ bleep ]. >> i also hit myself repeated lid with this wooden hammer i found? could be something. >> i am sorry. >> excuse me. >> janet, where is your mask and why are you 30 feet away from me now? >> because we are both [ bleep ]. >> sorry, i have murdered two people. >> sounds great. >> i am having trouble looking at your face. >> man, have i heard that before? how many, four or five? >> are you serious? >> well, no more than seven. [ laughter ] [ bleep ] >> are you serious? >> well, no more than seven. >> s>> seven? [ bleep ]. >> and he thinks you are cute. and he voted for trump.
