right, before we get to some news stories, let's do this. >> yeah. greg's leftovers. >> yeah. it's leftovers where i read the jokes we didn't use this week. and as always, it's my first time reading them. so if they suck, we'll force joe mackey to clean joe biden's toilet bowl with his toothbrush. his toothbrush. so this week, the presidential portraits were revealed for donald trump and j.d. vance. vance, as you can see, is sporting the beard. you know, that's the first beard to be in the white house since michelle. >> oh, yeah. >> that's so secretary of treasury janet yellen has admitted that she smoked weed. you know who else admitted to smoking weed? her barber. she's still adorable. japan is

selling the world's first toilet paper made from used diapers. oh, damn. i wish i thought of that, said one woman. a new study reveals which countries have the largest breast sizes, as well as which country has the biggest. but in last place? in last place, with an average of eight cups was greenland. whoever that arctic country still leads the world in hardest nipples. trump has proposed creating an external revenue service to collect money owed to us by foreign countries. and if they don't pay, we send chris christie to sit on them. that's how you break some legs. california's kyle gordey, the world's most prolific sperm donor, is on track to father 100 children by

the end of the year. needless to say, kyle is easily identifiable. don lemon went on a profanity laced rant about morning joe host being too civil to trump, prompting don's passenger to give him a lousy uber rating. some people are self-deporting. ahead of trump's return to the white house, it's true. seriously, liz warren is already going back to the navajo nation on horseback. in an interview with the washington post, doctor jill biden laments nancy pelosi's betrayal, saying they were friends for 50 years. yeah, she thinks nancy is two faced, which is an insult to

her other six faces. an alaska airlines flight attendant was fired for twerking on camera. in her defense, she's claiming that the pilot had just illuminated the shake dat sign. an onlyfans sex worker claims she screwed over 1000 men in 12 hours. yeah, she's thinking of changing her name to die. that's good. you thought it was going to go one way, right? oh. oh, this is filthy. no, it became politically relevant before your eyes. and for their heroic efforts during the wildfires, a porn star is offering free services to l.a. firefighters. patriotic men over there. they're already

saluting. in a related story, guess who was just caught impersonating an l.a. firefighter? all right, those were fun. so this week, president elect trump announced that on his first day in office, he plans to create a new government agency called the external revenue service. it's a pretty clever name, if you ask me. i can imagine how it came about. there's this meeting and some guy says, you know, what about the internal revenue service? they suck. and then some other guy goes, yeah, you're right, they do suck. i mean, why can't we have an external revenue service? then trump's eyes light up and he says, i love it. we'll announce it tomorrow. but what is it? asks one guy. and trump says, who the cares? you're fired. because he's. he's right. he

knows it's perfect. the mission is right in the title. here's what trump said. quote, for far too long, we have relied on taxing our great people, using the irs through soft and pathetically weak trade agreements. the american economy has delivered growth and prosperity to the world while taxing ourselves. we will begin charging those that make money off of us with trade, and they will start paying their fair share. yeah, yeah. that's great. in other words, just like americans fear the consequences of not paying their taxes at home, foreign countries we do business with with will now feel that same fear. our companies have sent jobs overseas only to import products here at no cost. we've been getting screwed on both ends like a double headed bolt. joey knows what i'm talking about. even more. all these countries have a huge gdp, you know, it's as if they're billionaires who won't pay

their fair share. in essence, trump is creating leverage in all negotiations where leverage never existed before. think of it this way a lot of countries don't put anything into their own military because they know they can count on ours. they're like the weak twerps who hang out with the high school bully, acting cocky but never having to throw a punch. shalu gets that. other countries, other countries think of us like a free insurance policy against invasion. so now trump wants to turn our military into a private security force, an insurance plan with guns and a co-pay. kind of makes sense for countries with no military or think of nato. they have generous social programs because they don't have to spend as much on the military thanks to us. so it's about putting america first. and it began with greenland. you know, look, we're happy to represent you guys, but we get something in return. so by creating the ers, trump puts his thought.

this thought which never occurred to you into your mind whether you like it or not. and what if it makes sense? first trump has to reveal the consequences if countries lose american protection. till now we've been offering protection through our military and access to our markets while asking for nothing in return. now that will change. that's what trump's military strategy and the ers is. and only trump could come up with this. it's what he learned as a contractor in new york city. trump ran into so many don corleone's that he became one of them. a scott adams points out trump absorbed their techniques of persuasion. you know, your country looks pretty good right now. it'd be a shame if something were to happen to it. so america is going to be don corleone. i just hope canada doesn't wake up with a horse's head in its bed. then the view

will have to replace joy behar. period. yeah. tom, you know what's great about the this idea is that no one ever bothered to bring these things up. and trump has this thing where it's like, well, what if what if. and it's like, he doesn't care if it comes off as stupid. because often that's where you lead to great ideas, you know? >> and as i was looking at this story, i always wonder, what is it about the people who hate trump so much? you know, the people who are super anti-trump, and that is like the republican establishment and the political consultant class, you know, and i think the reason is that because he comes up with ideas that are totally off the map, and the way that these political consultants made a living was telling politicians, you shut up and you do what i say, because we've done the polling and we know how this town works, and we know the lobbyists and we know who has the money and we know everything else. and trump

comes up with an idea and it messes with their plan. and they're like, oh, but here's what you have to say. and he's like, no, i'm just going to say my own thing. i don't care what you have to say, i'm just going to tweet it. and they're like, well, how do you know if that's going to work? and he's like, well, i'll know tomorrow morning when i look at my twitter feed. >> yeah. >> you know, so he's trying this idea and it's like, i love that idea of the thinking of the countries as billionaires. >> anytime you can use the left's rhetoric against them. and so he shouldn't go after the poor countries. >> he should say why is monaco getting away? why the monaco? >> they're wearing those nice clothes, driving around in rolls-royces. they need to pay their fair share, you know. so i think it's great. >> i love the fact that he goes. what? he redefines him as billionaires. boom. makes total sense, joey. there's also something that he does in a lot of these situations. he takes the political world, which is phony, and he injects the real world into it because you couldn't get away with you couldn't get away with the countries you're doing in the real world, in your relationships with other people, like a contractor or a mafia. >> i mean, that's how regular

americans have identified with a billionaire from new york the entire time. like he he speaks like we do in the sense of he says what we think. listen, you have the external revenue service. >> he says he's going to offset it. basically what he says is he's going to raise so much money with that that he can get rid of income tax. yes. >> and i don't know if the numbers work out. >> it's how tariffs used to be. >> but this is what i'll tell you. >> i look at trump and the things he's done in his life similar to mine. >> i work in politics. >> he's president. >> i run the bench at fox news. >> he had a hit television show for ten years, right. he grazed like, turned his head and missed a bullet. i'd stepped right when i should have stepped left. so it's like he's leading the way. >> i just need to follow. >> but the one place i want to catch up to him is to get rid of income tax. if i could file my taxes and say, you know what, i didn't make any money this year like he's done. that's that's where i want to be. >> well, you know, the thing is, i don't i'm not an expert in this, but isn't that what

tariffs originally were not to pay income tax? it was that the country you got enough from tariffs so that the country didn't have to. so he's not positioning that way. he's turning it into something else. andrew first off i want to congratulate you. outstanding charity work for the wildfires i don't know if you're aware. thank you. >> thank you. >> i think it was commendable that you saved julia roberts shoe collection. yeah, yeah. no, but you've been delivering food to everybody, finding housing. you had people sleep at your restaurant. it's like. it's like a truly kind of, like american type of charity. it's not a bunch of platitudes. it was action. so i commend you. i appreciate that it was actually everybody else who jumped in and helped. >> there was a whole community spirit, and the person sleeping at the restaurant was me. >> so, you know, i thought about helping anyway. so, so i want to dovetail off of what what tom said and what joe said, because i actually agree with both of them is, is that

one? >> i love the way trump manages and his policy is just like crowdsourcing. he'll tweet it out there, he'll see what the media's reaction is and then the people's reaction, and he'll take credit for what's best, or he'll go against what the media said. so i mean, that's just brilliant. he's going to be doing that for the next four years. it's unbelievable. but i also want to see the equal and opposite offset in regards to income tax. i didn't see too much in that. that's why i was lukewarm off the bat when i saw this headline, because we shouldn't have any income tax or tax altogether. right. and the thing is, is that all of these politicians, they just love to spend, spend, spend, you know, speaking of the la wildfires, they actually said that there were all these looters that were going in and stealing everybody's stuff. and a lot of the la politicians, they were evacuated from their zones, but none of their houses got looted because the looters said it was a professional courtesy. right. so they didn't want to steal from them either. so he's got to cut taxes so that it's a net zero across the board. and i'm all for it. so you can let him know i'm good with this. okay, great. >> i'll get him on the phone. yeah. you know he will call.

you know cat, i get the impression that for all the fears of trump getting getting into power, the world is actually enjoying this. it's like, this isn't like bewitched, where they replaced one darrin with another darrin. it's like they replaced mr. roper with godzilla. >> these are. i don't know who any of those people are, i know i purposely use references, and you do it again with people from vanderpump rules. no. >> you know, i look at you, you were like a you were like a teen mom. >> that's. i'm 36, but no, but that's a compliment. geriatric pregnancy. >> that's a that's a compliment. >> okay. well thank you. i think that's a compliment. america. >> no, i'm saying she looks too young to be pregnant. >> yeah, yeah. you ain't from georgia. thank you. >> i you told me i don't compliment you enough, and then i compliment you in front of 20 million people. >> 20 million? well, listen, i can also admit i'm in a tough spot right now because i don't understand the external revenue

service. i don't understand at all how it works. because the tariffs are paid by the importer, not the foreign government. but i also know that i work on cable news. so your job is not to understand. your job is to have a strong opinion regardless. yeah. i love how it's so cute. how many of you think i'm joking? so yeah, i don't really understand what it means, but but the spirit of it, as everyone has said, it is so true that we pay so much in income tax and a lot of it does go to other countries and other countries that have like a lot more time off than we do. and we fund so many of their things. so i think that that spirit for sure is something that resonates with a lot of people, or at least with people who pay enough attention to know that, which i think is most see. and then now i get the applause. >> so, kat, strong opinion is that trump wins again, right?

cats? >> that is how the headline would read. yeah, that's how it works. the nuanced opinion gets boiled down to four words. >> yes, i'm really good at that. usually it's five words coming up. trump wants to do good for sunny hollywood. >> before revolution. >> before america, before destiny came calling. >> he was george. >> you have ambitions. >> i have pride, sir. >> a pioneer, a soldier, a leader on the rise. ready yourselves. >> the enemy is here. >> get the general out of here now! this is the story of the greatest american. >> before there was an american. >> this is the story of george george. >> rise of a revolutionary. >> streaming now on fox nation. >> nearly 1 in 4 u.s. consumers have been a victim of identity theft, even when they did all the right things to protect their personal information. >> i did everything right. but an institution that had my data

didn't, and now my identity has been stolen. >> banks, hospitals, employers and other institutions all have your personal information too. >> and when they're exposed, careful monitoring of your accounts and credit won't be enough. >> i changed my passwords all the time. i shred my documents. i thought i was bulletproof, honestly, i was on the hook for $75,000 loan. >> i didn't take out the information thieves need to steal. your identity is already in the hands of others, and it only takes one vulnerability in one place to put your identity at risk. >> let me make this very, very clear. >> you could do nothing wrong. be perfect about all of your security, and still be a victim of identity theft. >> tens of thousands of my hard earned money gone. >> the stakes are high, and even if you take steps to protect your personal information, you're not the only one who has it. >> only lifelock monitors hundreds of millions of data points every second, alerting you to the widest volume of threats. >> others could miss far beyond what you could possibly monitor on your own, like someone trying to use your social

>> you know what's funny about this is, you know, trump is going to he's like, i've got a buddy here i need to take care of. let me make something up to give him a give him a little nod there. i'm waiting to see what antonio brown gets. just because if you follow him on social media, he's got some funny he's got some funny comments. but i was looking at this and i'm like, it kind of looks like the 1986 oscars. like it's kind of they're old. they're not young people. i don't know who they're going to reach out to. but the way i look at it is he probably had a really long list and had to narrow it down to who's not on the diddy list or the epstein list. and those were the three lefts, so that's what they get to do it. >> yeah. >> you know, andrew, i think what would make this amazing if they were the ambassadors, but they had to stay in character. so he, stallone would have to be rambo. mel gibson, what was his character in lethal weapon? do you remember? i forget it, riggs. he was riggs and midnight cowboy. >> yeah, that would be. that would be excellent. i agree,

though, this was just like another nod to this was another trump thing. it was kind of user generated. it's funny. and by that i mean like he's getting all the people who use truth social to kind of like engage back with him. and then the media jumps on it. and the funniest thing about this article was, is that they, the guys who were named as part of this little ambassadorship, this group, they were like, we didn't even know about it. they started asking him. they're like, i just read it too, which i think is hilarious, which goes to show that like, he's just a kid in a candy shop. i always talk to my son. i'm like, what would you do if you were president? right? and he's like, everybody would have a free chocolate bar for everybody. no school. right? like all the cliched bart simpson type of isms. and that's what trump is doing over like the next 4 or 5 days. so i'm excited to see what's next. and corolla should have been on that list. yeah, adam corolla should have been on that list. well. >> i was troubled by the list, kat because there was no non-binary woman of color. >> was there ever a list? i feel like he just like. i feel like he probably just, like,

thought of it and posted it because mel gibson said that's how he found out. yeah. >> on social. yeah. >> is that when it was posted? and he was, but he was like, okay, i think there's i mean, a lot of the problems with hollywood, i think have a lot to do with the problems of california is it's just cheaper to do things other places and it's easier to do things other places than it is in california. and also movies in general. are movies going to be around in 20 years? no, no, they're too long. yeah. if i, i was scrolling through instagram reels and i was like two minutes. i'm not watching that. >> yeah. >> like you want two minutes of my next. yeah. so a movie. >> how many times do you stop a movie now when you're watching it at home? >> okay, so if i, the last movie, i, i think i haven't watched a movie in like seven months, honestly. and it has to be. it's like you watch and you rewind and you watch and you rewind. you watch the commitment that you're asking of me. there is more than i'm comfortable with at this point. i like maybe when i'm a little older. >> yeah. >> no, it's when you're old

enough to have a baby. >> yeah, yeah. >> tom, what do you think they can do? do you think that they can do anything? >> i actually do. i think that if these guys put together a little company and they made appointments, they would get meetings with everybody in hollywood because hollywood is looking for an intervention. >> they have been drunk and high on di and woke stuff for so long, and they want it to stop there. >> yeah. so it's like a drug addict who's like, just give me an out just because that's why. >> look at all the streaming shows. everything takes place in another era. they love period pieces. why do they love period pieces? because people could speak in politically incorrect ways. >> yes. >> they can't do that in a modern thing. or it's set in some kind of weird sci fi alternate universe. and there's two reasons for that. one is because everyone's on their phone, like when you don't have phones, you can have drama, and also you can have realism. no one can be real anymore. that's why if you have something in

the 50s, people can act real and they can be sexist and they can be insensitive to each other and everything else that people like to be. so i think this would work. and i think movies i do love watching, movies. i don't like watching modern films, though. i have a subscription to the criterion channel. >> oh yeah, i just watch old movies and french films and italian cinema, and i can sit there all day and watch movie after movie, so i don't even think it's a time issue. >> it's a content issue. >> do you have a little espresso in you? >> yes, i do, i do the what do you watch the red balloon. >> oh yeah. >> all the time, greg, all the time. >> i just, you know, the one thing i just occurred to me, it also points out how pointless ambassadors actually are. you know what i mean? it's like it's a reward. the ambassadorship is a reward. or perhaps to get your son's ex-girlfriend out of the white house. but we'll talk about that later anyway. what do you mean? greg? i have no idea what i'm talking about. where am i?

okay. up next. what a delight. when acosta moves to midnight. >> for people who feel limited by the unpredictability of generalized myasthenia gravis, season to season, ultomiris is continuous symptom control with improvement in activities of daily living and reduced muscle weakness, and ultomiris is the only long acting gmg treatment, with the freedom of just 6 to 7 infusions per year for a predictable routine i can count on, ultomiris may lower your immune system's ability to fight infections, increasing your chance of serious meningococcal and other infections which may become life threatening or fatal. >> complete or update meningococcal vaccines at least two weeks before you start. if treatment is urgent and you're not vaccinated, you should receive antibiotics with your vaccines. don't start if you have a meningococcal infection. infusion reactions may include back, belly, limb or chest pain, muscle spasms, blood pressure changes, tiredness, shaking, chills, bad taste,

on, shut up, shut up! >> that's my dog. yes, i went to the movie. >> i got to be. >> crazy. so. hi. mike huckabee here. having spent many years in politics, i can comfortably say that the current climate is enough to keep any of us awake at night, and i safeguard my well-being by making sure that i get a good night's rest with relaxing and sleep. america's number one trusted sleep aid. >> i'm doctor eric silverberg, founder of axiom, america's most trusted sleep aid. >> just like you're seeing me on television now, i saw a commercial for axiom sleep back then. i called, and the rest is history. >> when i take axiom sleep, i sleep better than i have in years. >> i wake up feeling like i've had the best night's sleep. >> as a clinical neurologist, i know how essential sleep is for building and nourishing both your mental and physical health. >> while axiom sleep is made in the usa, has no risk of

dependency and is drug free, it's also the only sleep aid with valor est as part of its triple action formula, i developed the axiom to help my patients fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed. >> relaxing sleep worked from the very first night i took it. >> you've got to try relaxing and sleep for yourself, because once you do, you'll be a customer for life, just like me. and right now you can try it for free. >> for nearly two decades now, axiom sleep has been changing millions of lives. >> take axiom sleep. >> i promise you it'll work. >> if you're experiencing sleepless nights or tossing and turning, you need to try. axiom. sleep now. >> i trust axiom sleep, and so should you. get the best night of sleep, guaranteed. don't wait another minute. call. >> now. mike huckabee is so confident that axiom sleep will work for you. he's asked us to give away another 1000 bottles. get your free bottle of axiom sleep now. visit. try axiom.com

or call (800) 419-1286. that's trial axiom.com or call (800) 419-1286. it's coming your way. >> hey, hey, it's. video of the. day. >> thank you. cnn's biggest dork needs to be stuck with a fork. our video of the day comes from ratings vacuum cnn, where bloated buffoon jim acosta delivered a vomit inducing defense of the media. you got to check this out. >> i want to take a moment to talk about something president biden said during his farewell address. >> he warned the free press is crumbling in this country. i would add, that's only if we the people let that happen. >> journalists exist to seek the truth, to tell people's stories, to lift up voices that may not be heard otherwise, to shine a light on injustice and

to hold the powerful accountable. >> we are not the enemy of the people. we are the defenders of the people. i want to take a moment to show you something. a woman sent me this sign. eight years ago. she carried it here at a march in washington. she wrote on the back of the sign to me and the press. here in dc, you have our support to nora, wherever you are. right back at you. >> yeah, we know where she is. acosta held on to that sign for eight years. yeah. she does. i throw out my bodybuilding trophies after five, buy some art. meanwhile, cnn is reportedly considering banishing jim's morning show to midnight. the midnight slot at cnn. that's like a weekday afternoon spot at a strip club. but at least at the strip club, you won't just see an. okay, i

think the story here is that he held on to that for eight years. andrew. >> oh my god. >> i mean, how bizarre is that? >> this guy collects signs like my. my old aunt collects tupperware. i mean, like, i want to see what his garage looks like. that's got to be creepy, right? just signs and notes. pen pals all over the place. but the thing is, moving this guy's spot on the cnn time like, time frame. it doesn't matter. there's only three viewers at all times, whether it's 3 a.m. or 12 in the afternoon or 7 p.m. at night. right? i mean, this is just changing his bedtime. or when he wakes up, that's all. that's all it is. it's like it's like, okay, fine, you're going to be first class on frontier. great. you get armrests. it doesn't matter. but i think that i think that this idea. right. we've seen this now with like maddow and all these other news networks, the way in which you demote somebody by putting them in a really crappy time frame. but i want to see government act the same way. like, for example, right now i'd love to see governor newsom. he's done such a horrible job with the wildfires and just the overall management of california. if suddenly they make him like the

mayor of barstow. yeah, right. and then and then like karen. yeah, we can clap at that. and then karen bass. right. like she's the now suddenly the head of education in some random podunk town in california. so can we see that happen with politicians as well? >> that would be nice, a demotion and actually get them to do their job. kat it's he tried to deliver this like this rousing message and he can't do it. it's like he looks like a newsman, but he speaks like a. i can't say retard anymore. >> do it in an old film. you can say that. it's an old film. >> no, i can't, i shouldn't cat those memes steer me wrong. >> well, i it's interesting how he was, like, so far up his own there that i don't think he realized how much he was contradicting his own argument where he was like, yeah. and i'm just there's no free press anymore. which reminds me of how i said that eight years ago. yeah. the sign that i have

from eight years ago. and you're still on the air. yeah. right. so if it seems like you're pretty free to do press to me and people don't understand, i mean, the free press is the freedom from the government stopping you from speaking out against the government, which you're doing. yeah. and you're doing eight years ago. and you have this sign to prove that you've been worried about this for eight years, and yet things have remained okay. and you're still one of, you know, the most recognizable figures in media, despite all that. and it's just like, get a new bit already. >> yeah, yeah, it's kind of sad, tom. shouldn't he embrace the midnight hour? oh, yeah. i mean, like, he generally i mean i learned that read i you can do anything you want because no one's watching. >> well you know what i thought was interesting? one of the media analysts, i think it was in the times. but one of the stories that we were reading today about this, they said that they thought maybe cnn was going to take him off the air as a bone. throwing a bone to trump. yeah. and i was like, if you want to throw a bone to

trump, you leave him on the air. >> yes. >> like it's not a bone. it's like a carcass. you know, because trump loves that he would love to pick over his carcass for the next four years. but his his self-importance is, is quite amazing. and i don't know if i agree with you, andrew. i think there's not a whole garage full of signs. i think that's the one sign. >> yes. and it's not in his garage. he's got it above his bed. yes. >> yeah. >> on the ceiling. yeah. oh, nora. >> nora. >> right back at you. >> oh, joey, i feel so dirty, you know, andrew brought it up. the entire media landscape is like. it's like, become completely exposed. and it seems like even cnn's, like, they're not even bothering to hide their disdain for their

own talent. and it's just like, it seems like it's all falling apart. >> don't you kind of think they're trying to get him to quit, you know? yes. look for something else. like, because this is what i'm thinking, right? like they need to take and do a live feed of your studio with no one in it, just the lights on and a camera, and run that up against him at midnight. like, i don't know who's in charge in this building, but just run a live feed of this studio with like a cardboard cutout of you in the chair. and then you could be the king of late night and the king of midnight, because the ratings would be. >> that is a very expensive prank. i will tell you right now. you reminded me of office space. wasn't it an office space where they kept moving the guy's desk? that's where he's. he's the he's the fat guy in office space. they just keep moving him and moving him. >> and maybe they just do, like a yule log. yeah. you know, like the arendelle yule log or just, you know, and it'll get way more ratings. >> that was anderson cooper's nickname in high school.

about that, whether it's about aliens, whether it's about anything. so i completely understand that. but also, it is funny that they did it quietly. yeah. like, why would you. like why at this point? like, it's not very popular, but also, i mean, many things should be a meritocracy. i think everything should be a meritocracy. but i think that definitely the fbi should be a meritocracy. yes. i don't think that it should be a controversial opinion, but i guess apparently it's so controversial that they felt they needed to keep that quiet. >> yeah, we don't want anybody to know. >> also, shouldn't you be better at keeping things quiet if you're the fbi? >> yes. that's a good point. if i know about it. >> yeah, i feel like i shouldn't know. >> yeah, yeah, i'm a and i, you know, i do know research, tom. so i found out about it. tom, do you think that what they're going to do. well, first of all, you are a white man. some people say you're too white. >> friends. >> i've said it myself. >> yes. >> and do you feel that dye has been harmful to your career? did you lose jobs?

>> absolutely. >> it's time. well, in the beginning, you know, back in the 90s, i was my heyday, right? i was, you know, you're that washed up. yeah. i mean, it's so true, but. no. then the dye. now you can't even have the white guy around anymore. i mean, you know, who really made out in in this whole dye thing was multiracial kids? >> yes. because every commercial has to have, like, a if there's a white guy, he's got to be married to a black woman. >> and then you got to find the interracial kids. >> yes. >> so they've been working like crazy, you know. but i remember when i first. this has been affecting me even. i mean, i'm talking about late 90s. i remember auditioning for a multicultural sketch comedy show. and the audition, we had to give our first hand experience with prejudice that we've experienced, and they went around with the camera and, you know, everyone had a story. >> the woman was like, oh, the glass ceiling. >> and the black guy was like, they follow me in the store. they think i'm going to steal things. and the asian guy was like, well, i'm not that good at math or whatever, you know, they were going around.

everyone had everyone had a story, you know? and then the camera got to me and i was like, so far, no problems. >> what do you think, joey? they're really getting rid of it. are they just going to fan it out among different departments? because if you get rid of it, all those people are going to sue. >> i think trump's playing it all wrong. you have to you got to be like, all right guys, let's after action this and see why it didn't work. where did we go wrong. and just make them kind of like expose themselves. like why why are you shutting down your dye? like why why is that? is it because, you know, you have agents go in and make an idiot of themselves? is it like, what is it here that's happening? and then just do it like an after action. do it internally, keep it quiet, and then just blast everybody with it. yeah. this is why they can't get away with it. >> that easy is what you're saying. >> yeah. you can trick them right into telling themselves. >> yeah. you know andrew again one of these things that changes before trump gets into office. it's like the trump effect happens before the even

trump is there. it's kind of crazy. >> oh i love the trump effect. it's happening all over the place. i mean the thing though. let me i have two contributions to this. number one to your story is, is that i've been affected by dei as a chef. i'm not allowed to cook anything but like microwave steak and chicken. otherwise it's cultural appropriation. >> right. >> and i've been i've been told that on many, many times i actually had to send my 23 andme or whatever the dna stuff that showing that lauren is part mexican, part spanish in order to be able to cook paella and tacos and there's like a whole board. but the fact that the fbi has come out and said, we're shutting this down leads me to believe there's something much bigger there, right? like, i don't trust this at all. this isn't just, oh, trump effect. this is there's something huge there. and now they want all the cockroaches to scurry into everything else, right? like it's now it's just distilled into the rest of the fbi. and i imagine a speech that they gave before like, okay, guys, this is what we've trained for. he's here. go do what you were

trained to do. and boom, now they're in the wood. >> that's a great idea for a tv show. like an undercover dea squad. we've been banned from the trump government. now we have to go. we have to go underground. we have to go stealth. we're. and it's called underground dea. >> yeah, that's my show, greg. >> yeah. >> how about this? >> it's four guys and they sing barbershop. >> yes. >> no, they. you know what they could do? they could get, like, all these dea hires and put a white guy in charge. no, we did that with joe biden. oh, wow. >> i took your heart out and you're still alive. >> your mail is up next. >> oh, patients who have sensitive teeth but also want
