i want to be clear, as kendrick lamar says, they are not like us. he is not like us. so for my clients, i have never had one that had this many charges pending against them. but i've never had anybody come close to him and somehow still be walking free pretrial. that is not how we get treated when we end up eating locked up. in addition to the fact that i appreciate those that are on social media, pointing out the hypocrisies that right now, in this country, this guy can get high six figures for a job and potentially be higher where, in most places, we can't even ban the body, so that people who have a record can actually get an interview for an hourly job so no, you're not being treated like us. it is a two tier justice system and unfortunately, you have been treated so much more favorably than you should have ever. the fact that we are debating whether or not he is going to jail doesn't make sense either. >> when you hear your colleagues talk about ronny jackson, he is a colleague of yours in the same. >> thank you for reminding me. >> he is in the state delegation,

the last time two stars collided this violently, it was kendrick lamar and drake. [ moans and laughter what happened to that by the way? meanwhile, the former supreme commander of the space force, the bigly dipper, was in washington today. donald trump had a meeting -- he called a meeting with all the house republicans on capitol hill. it was his first visit to the hill since january 6th. they always return to the scene of the crime. [ laughter ] some republicans who were in the room described the meeting as a gripe-filled airing of legal and personal grievances. that sounds right. [ laughter ] that sounds right. they sang happy birthday to trump. he turns 78 tomorrow. and while there were no cameras in the room, trump reportedly covered a lot of ground. one of the things he's upset about that he talked about at this meeting is taylor swift supporting joe biden. [ laughter ] he said "why would she endorse this dope?" and they were like, "i don't know. why did we endorse this dope?" [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] trump had a lot to say. but this one took the cake. this is accordin
