i guess that explains mccloskey's campaign slogan, "mark mccloskey: i will kill god." ( laughter ) it's that mccloskey is a man of deep spirituality. i mean, who can forget the iconic parable, "when you saw only one set of footsteps, it was then that i was in the emergency room, because you winged me! jesus, buddy, i was just sayin' hi!" the country is opening back up, and so are our wallets. apparently, sales are way up on personal hygiene products, because during the pandemic, with few places to go, there was little reason to shave, use deodorant, or spray perfume. yes, why would you need personal hygiene when there's no one around for the last year but the love of your life? "what are you gonna do, maria, divorce me? the only other person you see is the seamless guy, and what's he got tat i don't? oh, mozzarella sticks, right." now that the c.d.c. has relaxed its mask guidelines, people are pouring cash into prettying up the lower half of their faces, so there's been a damatic increase in purchases of teeth-whitening products. good! as someone in show business, i know that teeth are

my name is mark mccloskey and i'm running for the united states senate to defend our homes, the greatof missouri and this great nation. >> shannon: a lot of contenders in that race. >>> a popular comedienne whose impressions of anthony fauci went viral claims the social media site tiktok is deleting his past posts. tyler fisher saying that the posts were removed for breaking guidelines. >>> pentagon is planning to launch a program to screen military personnel's social media for what they're calling extremist materials. the intercept reports that a private firm would be hired to do the digging in order to curtail first amendment protections. the report says the searches will use key words to identify potential extremists. >>> the u.s. army announcing it classifies climate change as a serious threat to u.s. national security releasing a memo that reads in part, "in line with the president and the secretary of defense's direction, the army is prioritizing climate change in its threat picture, strategic plans, operations and installations." >>> bill rogan is criticized tonight for blastin

mark mccloskey if you watch his launch ad it's a tour de force on bigotry and hate.sidewalk by his home last summer on the way to peacefully protest at his neighbor's house, the mayor, and i think because they're black lives matter protesters he said that those people were trying to come and kill him. he talks about how in his ad there's no systemic racism, yet he refers to peaceful black protesters who are there to kill him. the guy is insane. the reason that people like mark mccloskey are getting a hearing is because their message is resonating, unfortunately, with republican voters more than the message of someone like liz cheney. there is a poll this week that shows that republican voters from january until now, donald trump has actually become more popular in a hypothetical primary matchup in 2024. >> yeah. it's -- it's insane. we're going to continue to have this conversation on this show. so thank you, rachel vinman. your debut was excellent. you'll have to come back. lucy, you're a friend of the show and i anticipate we'll see you both a lot in the coming mon

there is also mark mccloskey running for senate in missouri.in wyoming, state senator anthony bouchard, who is trying to unseat liz cheney, revealing he impregnated a girl when he was 18. when you think about those -- the caliber of candidates. look. think about it. whatever you want. i just laid the facts out. what is going on here? do you think it's self-drukz? destruction? what? >> so i think these candidates represent, these candidates appearing now, in the past we would have called fringe candidates. they wouldn't get through the guardrails in place. that's no longer possible. republicans have thrown off any guardrails to any crazy, corrupt, or incompetent or criminal candidates and they are basically saying come on board, this is who we are. so those existed before. even as recently as they -- you know, as in two or three elections ago. they -- they would try to put something in place where this didn't happen. i think it's a mistake and i have heard a number of democrats say this. that the gop is self-destructing. the gop represents -- it

a video on social media showed mark mccloskey and his wife brandishing guns as protesters walked by theirrges and evidence tampering and they later appeared at the rnc. mccloskey will run as a republican. >>> bank of america is pledging to raise its minimum wage. >> we are going to $25 by 2025 as a starting wage in our company. we have now got 99% of our vendors to $15 an hour and we will get the rest of them -- it cost us a few hundred million dollars a year ultimately as we move up to t but it's just an investment in our teammates. >> investment in the workforce. look, if you want to get people back in the workforce, especially women, if you want to retain your workers you need to more. company after company has been doing it. it's the free market at work as congress stalls on raising the federal minimum wage from that rock bottom $7.25 an hour. the bofa ceo said raising the wage will cost a few hundred million a year when it happens which isn't until the year 2025. look, bofa can afford t in the first quarter the bank earned $8.1 billion and returned $5 billion of capital to shareholde
