  Speaker 1: Showtime is here. No time to fear.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Corral is so near because Showtime is here.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Corral is the one that you need to know.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Now it's Showtime.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: Good morning, everyone. Good afternoon, or whenever it is you're
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: watching it. Welcome to day two of the No Show Show.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: No production, no background, no fancy lighting, no two camera angles.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: None of that. I'm giving myself a little mental break.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: But I did want to chat with you all a
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: little bit today. So I'm sitting at my desk where
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: so many of you, you know, where so much of
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: your life is, if you have a desk or a
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: computer where you sit and surf the web or do
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: your monthly bills or all of that, whether it's a
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: laptop or a desktop or your iPad or whatever it is,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: we've all got a desk that we sit and work at.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: And I am sitting and working at mine. I wanted to,
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: you know, talk to you a little about some of
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: the absurdities I mentioned when I was in the ER,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: the absurdity of them coming in with the credit card
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: machine while you're literally in the ER. And there's something
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: in the news today that is a couple of things
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: I want to talk to you about in the news.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: First of all, Medicare for all is a catchphrase that
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: you keep hearing everybody say. But anyone on Medicare will
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: tell you that while it is good and certainly better
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: than nothing. It is not socialized medicine. It is not
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: the single payer system that they have in the UK
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: or Germany or other countries where they go in, they
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: see the doctor, they get all the tests, they have
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: a surgery or whatever, and there's no bill. That is
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: not the case with Medicare. And case in point, I
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: have UnitedHealthcare, AARP, Medicare Advantage because I am on disability,
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: so I qualify for Medicare. And because of all the
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: heart issues that's been going on, I need an echocardiogram
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: and a cardiac stress test, a nuclear cardiac stress test.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: In the past, these tests have cost me $ 100 each, co-pay.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I called today to confirm my test. I have one
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: tomorrow morning at 9, another one next week on the 5th,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: two days before my birthday. You're gonna love this. My
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: copay on the echocardiogram is $ 260. When I showed my
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: disbelief to the person on the phone at my cardiologist office,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: he said, well, why don't you do this? We have
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: a cash pay where you just pay cash for the
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: echocardiogram and that's $ 250. So it would actually be $ 10
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: cheaper for you to just pay for the echocardiogram than
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: it would be for us to bill your insurance for
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: it because then your copay is $ 260. So what if
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: we don't even bill your insurance and you just pay
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: the cash price of $ 250? Now that's absurd. It is
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: absurd when a copay for a test is more than
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: the actual test. And I'm not justifying what Luigi did,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: but I can see why people get angry at, you know, UnitedHealthcare.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: So between the echocardiogram and the nuclear stress test that
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: I need, just my co-pay, just my co-pay is going
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: to be $ 520. And that's with Medicare or with, you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: a managed plan. Now, in many countries, the test themselves...
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: The nuclear stress test and the echocardiogram total for both
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: tests would be $ 500. Not co-pay, but just cash price.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I know, I looked. In Thailand, if I were having
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: a nuclear stress test, it's $ 150 American dollars. And I'm
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: paying $ 260 co-pay. The test itself, if I weren't, if
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: I had cash, because I asked, is $ 1, 100 dollars. So
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: we hear everyone talk about, oh, Medicare for all, Medicare
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: for all, Medicare for all. Medicare for all is not,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: you know, it's not, it's better than what we have
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: now for most people. But it is not the health,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: we still will be nowhere near the healthcare system that
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: they have in the UK or other civilized nations. So
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: what is wrong? with a healthcare system where you don't
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: pay anything. What's wrong with that? Why is that a
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: bad thing? Well, I know, and I'm gonna tell you
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: on day two of my no-show show, I like saying that,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: my no-show show, when we come back. So don't go
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: anywhere because I think you know the answer.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: I think.

• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Carell is so near because Showtime is here.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Carell is the one that you need to know.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: All right. Welcome back to day two of my no
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: show show. I was recording a segment for this segment
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: talking about health care and why can't we just do
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: what other countries do when my phone rang and it
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: was my sister. In tears. Now, as you all remember,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: she got a letter that said they don't think she's
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: a citizen of the United States, even though she was
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: born here and they were going to cut her off everything. Well,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: all of her state stuff, her access, it's called, which
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: is Medicare, her Medicare, and her food stamps. And then
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: she went down to all those agencies and they said, no,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: we show you as a citizen, Social Security shows, so
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: we don't know where that letter came from. She called
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: me in tears right now. They cut her off Medicare.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: and not Medicare, Medicaid, the state one. And no one
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: at the office down where she lives can tell her why,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: can find anything in the system. If she calls the
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: number on her access card, they won't let her get
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: to a representative because it says she's not a member,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: even though she has a member number. She doesn't know
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: what she's going to do, and no one is helping her.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: She could lose her home oxygen. She will lose They
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: pay the $ 200 Medicare. When you get Medicare, you get
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: charged for it. It's not free. And all of you
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: that think Medicare for all is free, I pay $ 212
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: a month for Medicare. It comes out of my Social
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Security check. So they give me a Social Security check,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: and then they subtract $ 200 plus every month for a
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: health premium. So I pay $ 2, 400 a year for a
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: health premium on Medicare or on Social Security. And she
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: gets state aid for that premium. So she's in tears.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: She doesn't know what she's going to do. She needs
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: health care, obviously, because of the brain tumor and everything
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: that happened and her COPD and all the other maladies.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: And no one is able to help her. She's calling.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: She's doing this. She's doing that. And no one is
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: able to help her. And I just thought to myself,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: here I am doing a topic. about healthcare and how
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: even if the Democrats who are running on their whole
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Medicare for all, Medicare for all, that's not good enough.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: When are we ever going to take the bold swings
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: to help Americans that need to be taken, which is
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: universal healthcare? Say it with me, socialized medicine. I am
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: going to a test tomorrow morning and my copay is
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: more than the actual test. Okay? The system is woefully broken.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Here's another thing. Let me show you what's in the
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: news today. One, two, three. So as you see there
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: on my screen, that's the handsome Cheyenne Jackson, who is
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: an actor. You may know him from American Horror Story
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: or many other things that he's been in. And he
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: has started a new social media campaign called One Job Away.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: All right? And what that is is to highlight SAG-AFTRA
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: actors who are struggling to qualify for health insurance Okay,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: now let me explain why he's doing that. So when
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: I had SAG-AFTRA health insurance, which I had for decades,
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: you know, I paid a premium out of our checks,
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: me and Andrew, and then me. I paid a premium
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: out of our checks, and then I got SAG-AFTRA health care.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: And to get it, I had to make every year $ 34, 000
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: in SAG-AFTRA wages, not just in wages, but in wages
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: that went through SAG-AFTRA. So KFI and KGO were both
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: union stations. So that meant that they reported my income
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: to SAG-AFTRA and each station paid a fee to SAG-AFTRA,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: which is why they union busted. It's why they got
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: rid of me from KGO. It's why they got rid
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: of any union hosts that worked at KGO. Not only
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: did they have to pay me a certain fee per
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: hour for the radio show, but it cost them money,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: meaning they had to pay SAG-AFTRA a small portion of
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: my salary for both healthcare and the vest and my
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: pension fund, which, you know, That's very typical for an
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: employer to have to pay for an employee. That's very typical.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: So with SAG-AFTRA, the ceiling right now, I believe, is $ 38, 000.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: It's going to be raised to $ 39, 000. And there are
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: people who are very mad at that. They say, I
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: pay to be in the union, and I do. Even
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: I'm on disability, and I pay $ 180 a year to
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: be a member of SAG-AFTRA. And they're like, the whole
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: idea of having a union is to have collective bargaining,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: which means... We shouldn't have to make anything to qualify
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: for your healthcare plan. We are a member of your union.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: And therefore, you, the union, should have a deal with
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Blue Cross, that's who they were back before, that says
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: your members, the members of your union, can buy into
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: the Blue Cross plan no matter how much money we make.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Instead of telling us if we don't make $ 33, 000, we've
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: got to go to the healthcare exchange or whatever it is,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: the Obamacare. So Healthcare is a huge issue right now,
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: and what Cheyenne Jackson is doing is there are actors, many,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: many very famous people that you would know, Jai Rodriguez
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: or J. Rodriguez, you would know him from the original
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Queer Eye and many other things, Star Trek. There are
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: many actors who are not booking enough gigs to make $ 33, 000.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: And these are major people like Cheyenne Jackson. And The
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: reason he started this campaign, Cheyenne Jackson, and I'll show
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: you him again, is he was one check away. He
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: needed one gig to qualify for his health insurance, which
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: covers his children as well. And he didn't know what
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: he was going to do. So he called his friend
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Kathy Bates and said, Kathy, I need one paying gig,
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: and then I will qualify for my health insurance. She
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: got him a small, very small part in one episode
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: of Matlock, but it was enough of a paycheck to
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: where he qualified for another year for his health insurance.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Doesn't mean it was free, by the way. He still
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: has to pay for the health insurance, but at least
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: he qualifies to buy into the plan. And he is
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: screaming that there, he says that he launched the social
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: media effort. He's had such a massive influx of requests
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: from actors as they face tough job environment in Hollywood. Now,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: these are well-known actors, and they're ending up in the
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: same situation as basically my sister, you know? And this country,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: you know, as we just gave $ 23 billion to Israel,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: you know, I don't want to talk topics that make
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: my heart upset. I don't want to, you know, but
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: But this is the real thing. Here I am going
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: through the stress of being attacked at the polls, two
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: days later going into AFib with RVR, three days later
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: AFib with RVR, going to a hospital, having them ask
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: for my credit card before a cardiologist even saw me,
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: having a co-pay of $ 400 a day, which meant I
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: was going to have to go into debt. And then...
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: I get out and I want to follow up with
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: my doctors and the test that they're ordering, my copay
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: is $ 520. I don't have $ 520. It's going to go
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: on a credit card. I don't have it. And I'm
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: going to stress over that. And here I'm going for
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: a heart issue where I should not stress. And yet
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: I'm going to stress over the fact that I'm being
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: charged $ 520 for tests to see if my heart is stressed.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Do you see the logic here? Because there is none.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: There is no logic here. There is no logic to
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: have a system where someone is in the system because
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: of stress-induced heart problems and then you stress them out
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: with money problems to get the test that they need.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: There's no logic there. There's no logic in my sister
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: calling me crying her eyes out because she doesn't know
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: what's going to happen to her or how she's going
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: to make ends meet. if her $ 900 a month that
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: she gets from Social Security has $ 200 taken out of
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: it for her Medicare. And then her prescription plan goes
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: through the state. She doesn't know what she's going to do.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: She says, I'll just die. She just said that. She goes,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: I'll die. That's what's going to happen. And this is,
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: and she worked, by the way, but she didn't work
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: in jobs that paid into Social Security. So she's on
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: her husband's, her ex-husband's, her dead husband's. Social Security. Because
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Roseanne raised kids, five of them. That's supposed to be
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: the priority, right? Raise kids. That's what they're all telling
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: everyone to do. Raise kids. Well, you can't raise kids
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: and have a job that pays into Social Security. You
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: really can't. Yes, you can, Correll. Many mothers do it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Not in the 70s, not in the 60s, not in
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: the 70s, not in the 80s. So that's why Social
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Security is extended to the wife because they didn't work.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: They stayed home. That's what she did. Then she was
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: a migrant worker in the fields. She did that for
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: five years. Went and picked, you know, I'll say cotton.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Went and picked fruits and vegetables in the fields. And
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: her reward? A broken body and a country that, you know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: won't care about her or her health care. Cheyenne Jackson, online.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: trying to amplify the voices of out-of-work actors or actors
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: that need, not out-of-work actors, but actors that need one
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: more job. And please don't say, why don't they get
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: a regular job? This is not just in the acting field.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: My sister's not an actor. I'm not, you know, I am,
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: but you know what I'm saying. Health insurance in this
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: country is one of the biggest issues in every election,
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: and that's because they never fucking fix it. And the
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: fix is easy. The reason we don't have universal healthcare
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: is because UnitedHealthcare CEOs and Humana CEOs and Blue Cross
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: and Blue Shield CEOs can't make billions of dollars then.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Because Big Pharma can't make billions of dollars. That's why
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: we don't have universal healthcare. Because it removes the profit
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: from the healthcare system. And of course, we can't have that.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: That's why. It's not we can't afford it. They always
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: scream to you, we can't have it because we can't
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: afford it. That's a fucking lie. If we can send
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: 23 billion more dollars to Netanyahu, who may or may
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: not win the election today, I hope he doesn't. I
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: hope he loses. I hope he loses miserably. And I
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: hope that sends a chilling, chilling, chilling just bunch of
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: goosebumps down that fat bloated spine of Donald Trump. I
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: hope Bolsario losing is causing the Republicans to panic. I
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: hope they see that the right swing across the world
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: is now swinging back left because people are tired of
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: not having a quality of life. People are just tired
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: of it. They're tired of the, you know, I don't
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: know what to tell my sister. I don't know what
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: to tell her. I don't know who to call in Arizona.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: I don't have any contacts. I don't know what to do.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: I can't reassure her that I'll make up her losses
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: financially because I don't have $ 800 or $ 1, 000 a month
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: plus her medication things. No one could afford that. When
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: one drug can easily be $ 1, 000, you can't afford it.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: And to the state, to the country, let her die.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: And that's the attitude. all because we won't have universal
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: health care for everybody. Health care for all. They talk
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: about how it's a right, but they stop short of
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: saying it's a right to not have to pay for it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: They talk about Medicare for all. Medicare is not free.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: You pay a premium, and there's large co-pays on everything,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: and they don't pay. You could be in the hospital for,
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: you know, Three weeks and get out and have thousands
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: of dollars because they'll bill you. In other words, they'll
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: bill Medicare and what Medicare doesn't pay becomes your responsibility.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: And Medicare doesn't pay. They pay like 20%. If they're
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: billed $ 10, 000, they'll give them $ 800. And I ain't making
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: that up. Look at your statement of benefits and you'll see.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: So they bill $ 10, 000. Medicare gives them $ 1, 100. Who do
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: you think's on the hook for the other $ 8, 900s? Some
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: places write it off because they want to keep Medicare business.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Other places do not. And they don't tell you before
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: you get the care. They just give you the care
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: and say, oh, well, you know, go in debt, sell
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: your house, medical bankruptcies. And that's just it. The number
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: one cause of death of young people in this country
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: is gun violence. The number one. And the number one
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: cause of bankruptcies in this country are medical bills. And
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: we have the nerve, any politician has the nerve, to
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: stand up and say we're a great country. A great
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: country would not have the number one source of bankruptcies
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: be medical and would not have the number one cause
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: of death for kids be guns. That's not what a
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: great country would do. Baby loves sugar lambs, honey pies.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're not a great country. We're not a
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: great country because we see the statistics that directly affect
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: our people and we do nothing about them. Nothing. Why?
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: That's the worst part. Money. Money. We don't do anything
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: about it because of money. Because if we gave everybody
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: universal health care... Then, what's the CEO of UnitedHealthcare going
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: to do for a living? What's the board members going
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: to do? What are any of them going to do?
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Get a job?
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: You have to be proud with hatred.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Hey everyone, it's Carell. You know, Pride Month was rough
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: this year. We had a lot of hate heaped upon
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: us from Trump, from MAGA, and from other governments around
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: the world. And if you are a trans person, you
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: are really going through a particular type of hell right now.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: That's why when I was thinking of my next single
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: in June, I sat down and I wrote, you have
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: to be proud. You have to be proud with anger
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: so loud. Streaming everywhere. Keep fighting. Keep singing. Keep dancing.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: We're going to win. All right, we are back for
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: the No Show Show, and I am so glad that
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: you are here with me. Cheyenne Jackson has started an
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: online job campaign called One Job Away. He is trying
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: to get actors work so they can keep their health benefits.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: My sister in Arizona has just been cut off Medicare
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: and state aid. She doesn't even know if this is
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: about the citizenship thing or not because no one will
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: tell her. No one will tell her why the cut,
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: who to call, what to do. She's saying she would
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: rather just die. She said that to me. She goes,
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: I would rather just die than have to go through
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: all this. And she was in tears. In tears. In America.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Because you don't know whether you're going to be able
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: to have health care or not. Get your medicine or not.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Eat or not. In America. The best country in the world.
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: And I'm the biggest porn star. I have the largest
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: OnlyFans account. I'm the largest you know what? My doctor today,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: oh my God, can we just digress? My primary care
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: doctor today, it was an Indian man, I think, young, bearded, gruff.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: Oh my God, Grey's Anatomy. Grey's Anatomy style, cute. He
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: walked in and I said, excuse me, but I'm here
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: for heart issues and blood pressure and I don't need
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: you raising it. He said, what did I do? And
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: I said, look at you. And he laughed. I said,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: I ain't kidding. walking here in scrubs, looking like that.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Jesus H. Christ. It's like, this is not an Abercrombie
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: and Fitch runway. Holy shit. Oh, he was, reminded me
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: I'm still gay. That's for sure. Not that I would
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: have done anything had he gotten naked, but still, you
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying? So that went okay. He, he agreed.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: It was the stress that caused the incident. He agreed
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: that I need to look into an ablation. Whether I
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: have one or not, I need to have the conversation.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: And that, can I even afford to have an ablation? Yeah,
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: my insurance is taken at Cedars, but what's the co-pay
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: is going to be? If it's $ 260 to have a
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: heart scan, how much is it going to be to
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: have them work on you for three hours in the ER?
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: I can't go into debt $ 5, 000 or $ 10, 000 for my heart.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: I can't. And if that's what it's going to be
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: all told, I can't do it. I'd have to sell
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: my house. I can't do it. But we're the greatest
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: country in the world. More of our kids die from
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: gun violence. We do nothing about guns. The number one
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: cause of bankruptcy is in this country, medical bills. And
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: yet we do nothing to ease those medical bills. Gas,
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: five plus dollars a gallon. And our president boasted... that
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: these corporations are making record profits. He's been saying that
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: at every campaign stop. The stock market's doing great. The
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: oil companies are doing great. They're making billions of dollars.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: There's so much oil. We're getting all this oil. And
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: yet you're paying over $ 5 a gallon while he says
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: a giant fuck you. But we're the greatest country in
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: the world.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: No.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: No, we're not. We have industries that are collapsing. I
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: saw Vince Gill, probably one of the most recognizable and
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: famous country artists of the last, what, 20, 30 years.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: I saw Vince Gill saying today in a viral Instagram
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: that he's not making any money, that streaming does not pay.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: He says, I haven't gotten any checks of any substance
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: from Spotify, YouTube, from none of it. He goes, oh,
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: a few thousand dollars here and there. But he goes,
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: I used to get money from record sales. From radio
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: play and from publishing. And he goes, now there's no
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: record sales. Zero. Or just a few. And there's no
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: publishing or radio play. They used to pay for radio play.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: And now there's no radio play. It's very little what
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: they're playing on the radio. There is radio and people
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: are getting royalties from it. but not nearly because there's
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: not as many stations, there's not as much format, and
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: there's not as much listeners. And then the streaming companies,
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: just like healthcare, recording artists are not making any money.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: The head of Spotify is worth, I don't know, let's see.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Let's turn this around here. One, two, three. Let's see.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: How much is the head of Spotify worth? The head
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: of Spotify is worth $ 12.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: 7 billion.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: The head of Spotify is worth $ 12. 7 billion. He owns
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: all 14% shares of Spotify technology. $ 12 billion to run
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: a streaming service that makes no product. Spotify doesn't make anything.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: Spotify simply takes what music artists have released and streams
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: it out on their platform. That's all they do. They're
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: a record player. That's what they are. And the owner
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: of the record player is making exponentially more money than
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: any artist, including Taylor Swift, on his platform. He's got
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: lots more money than Taylor Swift. She's just a billionaire.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: I bet she made him some of those billions. This
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: is the country that we live in and this is
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: the state that we live in. We have music artists screaming,
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: we're going under. We're not making any money. There were 5,000
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: publishing deals made every year in music. That's where Record
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: labels found young songwriters, old songwriters, whatever, and then they
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: signed them to a publishing deal where they would keep
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: part of the publishing and administer their publishing rights and
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: make money for that. The artist would still get a
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: major portion of it, but Warner, Chappell, or whoever would
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: administer the publishing. There were 5,000 a year active deals.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: There are now less than 300 less than 300. But
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: the head of Spotify is worth $ 12. 7 billion. I bet
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: the head of Smith & Wesson and the head of
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: the gun manufacturers, I bet they're making millions and millions
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: of dollars. And we certainly know the drug companies are
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: making millions and millions and billions of dollars. And we
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: certainly know the health insurance agencies, which don't do anything.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: UnitedHealthcare does nothing but deny care That's all they do.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: That's their whole job. To pay bills and deny care.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: To collect money from the government and then deny services
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: and pay out as little as they can. so they
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: can then keep a profit. They don't do anything. The
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: head of Spotify doesn't do anything. And yet, here we are.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: But we can't, the Democrats can't utter the words universal
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: health care. Now they've gone to Medicare for all. A
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: system that, by the way, is not free, does not
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: pay everything, and could still lead to medical bankruptcy. Isn't
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: that just something? My goodness gracious.

  Speaker 1: You have to be strong. Showtime is here. No time
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: to fear.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Carell is so near because Showtime is here.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: So on with the show.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Let's give it a go.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Carell is the one that you need to know.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Welcome back to the No Show Show. You know, one
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: of the things I'm doing to take away some of
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: the stress outside of not doing a big, huge production
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: every day is.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: For instance, here, take a look around. One, two, three.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: There you see Aaron Parnas. And he is the blogger,
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: you know, whatever, news person that has now more followings
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: than almost anybody. And if you'll see his headline, end
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: of the Trump era, Trump glitches repeatedly on stage, major
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: election hack, Netanyahu crumbles, and Harris slams Trump. I am,
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: I can't participate in that kind of stuff. And I'm
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: not sure I'm ever going to want to again. First
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: of all, I don't care. Donald Trump today tried to
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: pass more legislation and do things through executive orders and
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: horrible things. The military boards have said they're not going
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: to kick out trans people, even though he said so.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: They're starting to fight. There's all of this going on.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: And I don't care anymore. You know, I really don't.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: There's one story in the news today that I'm actually
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: interested in, and that is whether Netanyahu loses in Israel.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: And I hope he does. I hope he's thrown into
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: the street and that it scares Donald Trump to death.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: The Department of Justice today failed to indict Cassidy Hutchinson
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: over her January 6th testimony. That's good. And that's a
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: blow to Trump because he's trying to punish anyone that
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: got involved in January 6th saying that he was a despot.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: And it's gotten to where I don't care. Because every
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: time Aaron Parnas or Midas Touch, which is number one
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: or number three on Audible now, oh, you've got to
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: hear this or you've got to see this. I don't
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: want to see any more video of Donald Trump on
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: stage either doing something stupid, making a noise. doing whatever
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: he did. I don't want to see it. It's an
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: embarrassment to the office. He should be removed by the
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: 25th Amendment. You know, I don't want to see it.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: I'm tired of it. I don't want to read about it.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: I don't care anymore. Let him fucking drop dead just
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: once and for all. I am sick of his sick, infirm,
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: demented ass. I'm sick of people that would go see him.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: I don't want them in my life. They make my
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: heart skip. They hit me in the face with bullhorns.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: I'm done with them. They're the most disgusting people on
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: planet Earth. Anybody that supports Donald Trump at this point
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: is truly less than human. They have not evolved like
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: other humans. They're just not human. They have no heart,
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: no empathy, and no sense, and no brain. And I'm
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: not playing into it. Someone's trying to bait me into
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: some Israel debate online, you know, because of Boy George,
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: still a comment that I had made weeks ago. And
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: I don't want to debate Israel. Israel committed war crimes.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Israel committed genocide. I'm not anti-Semitic. That's a fact. Israel
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: has broken so many of its treaties in the area
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: and treated the Palestinians and everybody else in the region
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: like shit. That's what Israel has done. If you're hated,
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: it's because of more than just your religion now. If
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: you're hated now by your neighbors, it's because you're a
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: fucking bad neighbor. Okay? There comes a point where I
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: and everyone have to own up You know what, Israel?
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: You're a fucking bad neighbor. You're a bad neighbor to
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: the Palestinians. You're a bad neighbor to Iran, to Iraq,
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: to Saudi Arabia. You're a bad neighbor. Well, they all
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: want to stomp us out.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: If I lived in a neighborhood where every single person
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: in that neighborhood wanted me out of that neighborhood, I
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: might move. Well, how do you move a country, Karel?
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know. We created it. I'm just saying, own up.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Change your rhetoric. Yes, you have every right to exist.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: And yes, you have every right to defend yourself. Every right.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: No one should be just attacked willy-nilly all day, every day.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: But if my house is being egged every single night,
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: I have to examine, is it because I'm gay? Or
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: is it because I'm being an asshole to everybody in
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: the neighborhood? Am I a Karen? Israel, you committed genocide.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Netanyahu is a war criminal. If they elect him again
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: in Israel, my like of the average Israeli is going
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: to drop. They have a chance right now to get
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: rid of their war criminal. They have that chance. They
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: need to do it. I hope they do. We won't
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: know the results till early November, they say, but I
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: hope they oust that war criminal. If they don't, what
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: does it say about them as a people? That they're
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: okay with a guy that's a war criminal because he
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: killed their neighbor? And they didn't like their neighbor? Yeah,
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: that's great.

• 37:00
  Speaker 8: Stream I Dance Because on all services.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: The song is very, very personal to me. And the
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: video now is very touching to me. I cried the
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: first time. Well, I cry all the time. But I
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: cried the first time I saw it. We all have somebody,
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: whether it's someone that's passed from AIDS or some other thing,
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: we all have people that we danced with, and that's
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: why we dance. Stream I Dance Because on all services.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: You know, there's a funny story coming across my news line. Jay-Z...
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: Jay-Z is in charge of the Apple halftime show. It's Apple.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: And Jay-Z is in charge of the Apple halftime show
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: at the Super Bowl. He's the one who's been picking
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: Rihanna and all these other people. Well, guess who he
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: picked for the new halftime show? Himself. And I have
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: to laugh because I thought, well, I guess I would.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: If it were me, I'd Hey, I'm going to do
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: the halftime show. But that's what he did. And it
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: made me sad. And maybe I'm racist and maybe I'm
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: wrong or whatever. It made me sad because I thought, wow,
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: this will be the first halftime show in years that
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: I haven't watched. I watched the Kendrick Lamar one. I
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: knew it would be a spectacle and it was. I
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: didn't know any of his songs. But just like Bad Bunny,
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: I didn't know much of what he was saying, but
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: it was a great show. But Jay-Z... I don't like Jay-Z.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: I don't like his music. I don't like how he looks.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: I don't like anything about him. I don't like his shows.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: I've seen him perform. I don't like Jay-Z. I'm allowed
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: to not like Jay-Z. And I pretty much fucking hate
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: rap music. I think the early rap music from my
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: youth in the 70s and early 80s was a social
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: movement tied to a beat. But when it started being
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: n-word this, n-word that, and bitch this, and blah, blah, blah, nah. Nah,
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: it lost me. And so I don't like Jay-Z and
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: I don't, I will not be watching. So this year
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: I'm free during the Super Bowl. I don't even have
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: to be around for the halftime show. That's, that's liberating.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: That's liberating, Miss Ember. Miss Ember, who I'm worried about
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: now about dementia because she's, she's going to be 11,
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: but she's sitting around now just sort of sitting up
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: and sort of staring off and then just kind of
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: falling asleep, sitting up. And I'm like, oh God, does
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: she have dementia? She is old. But she's not walking
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: into walls or barking at doors or anything. So anyway,
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: so that's a funny story. That's an interesting story that
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: I noted, that Jay-Z is... going to be the halftime
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: at the Super Bowl. And I don't like him. And
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: I don't think he has the popularity now. And see,
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: this is another thing. If we really, I like to
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: talk about the facts now because the facts make me calm.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: Here's the facts. The Super Bowl halftime show should be country,
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: followed by rock. Because those are the genres of the
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: two biggest audiences of the Super Bowl, demographically, country and rock.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: That's what the halftime show should be. Why Jay-Z is
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: even in charge of it? We were talking about the
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: leader of Spotify being worth $ 12 billion. Jay-Z is worth
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: a fortune. He runs Tidal. And the head of Apple Music,
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: Apple itself, which runs Apple Music, is now a trillion-dollar company.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: And they're not getting that way selling Macs and iPhones.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: I venture to say billions and billions and billions of
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: their dollars. I wonder if there's a figure on how
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: much revenue does Apple Music make for Apple. Let's type
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: that in. How much revenue does Apple Music make for Apple?
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: Let's see if maybe there's a statistic. Apple Music generates
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: $ 9 to $ 10 billion in annual revenue for Apple. So
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: you've got the head of Spotify being worth $ 12 billion.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: You've got Apple Music generating $ 10 billion. That's $ 22 billion
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: that's not going where? Into the pockets of the artists
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: that make the music. That's where it's not going. And
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: that's okay with everybody. What is it with you guys
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: and the arts? You know, really, what is it with
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: you guys and the arts? I don't get it. Why
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: don't you want to pay for music? Oh, we do.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: We pay Spotify. We pay Apple. That's not paying for music.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: That's paying for Spotify and paying for Apple. You know,
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: what is that? Why don't you want to buy the record?
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: You know, what is so hard with buying a record
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: that you like? No, I'd rather just stream it. Yeah,
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: I know. And pretty soon all you're going to have
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: is AI slop to here. Have you guys, have you
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: even seen this River Kane? Have you guys seen him?
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: River Kane is his name. Have you seen him? Let's
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: see if we can find him on Instagram for you.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: He's everything that's wrong with the music industry. Let's see.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: Let's see if we can find him here. Instagram. Instagram.com.
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: There we go. Pulling up. Let's search River Kane. There
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: he is. Where is it? There's several. Oh, there.
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: There.
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: So in his profile, see here, it says musician band. Here,
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: let me get you closer. It says musician band, AI
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: generated profile. Okay. God first, country music artist, my one
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: and only official account. I write all my songs. Listen here.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: All of this is a lie. River Cane, by their
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: own admission right there on the site, is fake. It's fake.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: So they create these videos like this one. He wanted
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: to sing this for his mama. This entire video is fake.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: This concert is not real. These crying people do not exist.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: This is all A.I. All of it. He doesn't exist.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: He's not real. The songs are written through A.I., And
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: if you look over here at the comments, these fucking
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: morons don't know it. Love this song. Beautiful song and
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: you are such a beautiful soul. So very proud. He's
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: not real. This is how easily they are fooled. He
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: is not real. And all of these videos you see, oh, look,
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: the soldier is coming to tell the lady that, you know,
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: the husband's dead. This music video was inspired by the
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: heartbreaking stories of so many who have shared. We want
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: to bring some of those stories to life through music
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: to every mother who has lost a son. I love
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: your music. I think this would end me. My mama
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: and all these, oh, heart, heart, heart. He's not real.
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: This woman is not real. She never lost a son.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: None of this. He is not real. And yet he
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: has how many followers? 725,000 followers that aren't what? Following
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: a real country artist. That aren't helping to break a
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: real country artist. Yep. What are you doing? You're giving
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: me a complex, Miss Amber. You are just sitting there
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: like that. Just sitting there watching me. You're going to
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: give me a complex. I wonder if she's in pain
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: or something. I don't know. She's on antibiotics. We'll see.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, she doesn't seem like she's in pain. She
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: played at the park this morning. Boy, did she ever.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: So I tell you that about River Cane. Because he's
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: everything that's wrong with the entertainment industry. That account is
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: making money. That Instagram and YouTube account with his fake
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: videos that the people don't know are fake because they're
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: too stupid to know what AI generated profile means. They're
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: not making any money. And we got artists out here saying, hey,
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: can I help you try to get a gig so
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: you can keep your health insurance? We got Vince Gill
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: out here saying ain't no one making any money. We
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: got fake artists like River Cain actually making money. We
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: are just messed up. We are so messed up. Meanwhile,
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: have you seen the news about Long Beach? Oh yeah,
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: there's more flooding in Long Beach and everything else. You know,
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: it's so ridiculous. And what's ridiculous is they're just going
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: to keep those houses there. They're going to keep the
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: condos there. And they're just going to keep hoping that
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: You know, I don't know that the ocean doesn't do
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: what the ocean's going to do. I don't know what
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: they're hoping, but they better hope. Who are the Alexander brothers?
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know who these people are. They're sentenced to
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: 30 years for drugging and raping dozens of women because
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: that's what a lot of men do. Oh, well, three
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: Florida brothers who exploited the wealth and influence of their
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: family's luxury real estate business. Oh, so three white rich
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: guys have raped dozens of women. Well, yeah. It's called
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: the Epstein files, dude. So these guys get put in jail,
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: but the Epstein people are still out there? Map shows
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump's approval rating in every state. I don't fucking care.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: It should be zero. That's why I won't even look
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: at those stories. He should have a zero approval rating.
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: No human being in the United States should have Unapproval
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: for Donald Trump. No one. Woman takes gravely injured cat
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: to Florida vet. They refuse to touch him unless she
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: pays $ 700 up front. It cost him his life. My
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: heart is broken. That's why Amber has insurance and why
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: she has a credit card with a $ 10, 000 limit that
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: I never touch. That's why. I don't even have that.
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: I'm worried about a $ 520 copay, but my dog has
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: a credit card with 10 grand available in case she
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: needs it. That's something. Did you hear about the guy
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: on the plane that left Vegas, was going to New Jersey,
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: and the stewardess saw him typing on his phone that
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: he should hijack the plane? Not the smartest thing to do.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: He's pled not guilty. The plane turned around, came back
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: to Vegas. See, he should be put in jail for
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: just utter stupidity. Utter stupidity should be a crime. That
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: is the stupidest shit I have ever heard in my
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: entire life. I am going to type on a plane,
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: in a phone, that I should hijack the plane. By
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: the way, I believe universal health care should extend to pets.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: I believe every community should have a pet clinic that
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: is sliding scale. If you come in, You make 60k
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: a year, you pay one thing. You make 100k a year,
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: you pay another thing. You make nothing, your animal gets
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: treated free. But see, that's just the socialist in.
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: Me, right?
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: The man accused of a terror threat on board a
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: flight that took off from Vegas plans to enter a
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: not guilty plea. Well, everyone enters a not guilty plea.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: Gallo declined to comment further. He was on his way
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: to Newark. In air traffic control audio, someone can be
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: heard saying that a flight attendant noticed a passenger writing
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: in a text message that they wanted to hijack a plane.
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: According to the arrest report, a flight attendant told police
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: that she saw a passenger receive a message from another
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: passenger beginning with the words, I'm going to hijack. The
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: message communicated a first-person declaration of intended violence involving hijacking
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: the aircraft and crashing the recipient's robe. Both individuals were
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: passengers aboard the aircraft. He probably was annoyed with the
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: people in his row. It's like, I'm going to hijack
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: this plane and crash it so these people die. That's
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: just really stupid, you know. According to the report, they
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: detained without incident. He told officers he was in Vegas
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: for a training program and had beer and shots before
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: boarding the plane. He said the message was banter between
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: co-workers and he did not plan to hijack the plane
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: or harm anyone. Milne acknowledged the seriousness of the aircraft
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: returning to Vegas and expressed remorse. The passengers then departed
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: for Newark the next day. He posted bond after his
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: bill was set at $ 10, 000. What should happen to him?
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: What do y'all think should happen to him? I think
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: he's terminally stupid. He should have to pay for everything
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: that happened. Don't put him in jail. Just make him
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: pay for the hotel for if they stayed at a
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: hotel or all the expenses incurred by everybody on that
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: plane because of him, he should have to pay. Yeah,
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: that's what should happen. Oh, Lord. I'm still, I'm going
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: back to the first thing I said before my sister
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: called in tears. We say we're the greatest country on earth,
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: but we're number one in medical bankruptcies and the number
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: one cause of death for our children are guns. And
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: we do nothing about either. Trump's son spent two days
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: hunting in Mongolia with a Russian oligarch. Of course he did.
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: Why is that news? The family is as corrupt as
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: any tyrant's family ever was. Every one of them, Ivanka,
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: Don Jr., Barron, all of them. They're all just corrupt.
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: So why is that news anymore? And in The Guardian
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: it says the survival of American democracy depends on taxing billionaires.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: It does. Why are we so afraid to tax billionaires? U.S.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: pensions are riding the AI wave for better or worse
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: because the AI wave is going to crash. AI is
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: like everything else. It doesn't produce anything. There's no product.
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: There's no widget that they sell. There's nothing. And it's
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: very hard to monetize. It loses money. Right now, Anthropic, OpenAI,
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: all of them, they're losing money. And they don't have
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: a five-year projection for profits. And yet everybody is rushing
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: to buy into these companies that are not profitable. When
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: they crash, and they're going to, they're going to take
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: pensions with them. And just like the last crash, you know,
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: I always beat myself up for not being financially secure
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: for my retirement. What's the matter? I could have $ 100
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: million or not. I could have a million dollars in
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: a pension. And guess what? And my SAG-AFTRA pensions are
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: riding the AI wave. What happens if that crashes? And
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: then I'm left with Social Security? But we're the greatest country.
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: Go out and vote. Elect your officials. People who spent
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: billions of dollars, all told, to get elected. Step over
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: the homeless to get into the polls. Pay $ 5 a
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: gas to get there. Risk getting shot or hit in
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: the face with a bullhorn. That's America. There we are.
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: That's the state of our.
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: That's the state of our union right there, honey. But hey,
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: Jay-Z's going to be the headliner of the half-time show
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: because he picked himself to do it because nobody else would.
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: It's a good thing he's in charge, because no one
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: was going to put him on the show, honey. Just nobody.

  Speaker 1: Carell is the one that you need to know.
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: All right, we are back with my no-show show. You know,
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: I used to click on the health page when I wanted,
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: you know, news that wasn't so terrible, that sort of stuff.
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: I used to click on the health page and, you know,
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: look at Health news. Not anymore. I just did right now.
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: CDC reports drug-resistant germs kill 50,000 Americans annually. That's a lot. Okay.
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: That's an entire stadium full. And then you add in
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: medical mistakes. Ebola cases in the Congo surpassed 10,000. The
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: Ebola outbreak is breaking records. Great. Great. GLP-1 side effects
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: versus benefits, real patient experiences. Well, and as I have
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: Zepound waiting over at Walgreens, I mean, everyone I know
