Because I like their sheets. That's why. A lot of people don't get a good night's sleep for a lot of reasons. One of the ones that you can control is bedding. One out of three of us report being sleep deprived. Okay, well, what is it? Well, it stresses all kinds of things. But the wrong sheets can make you hot, can make you cold. I'm telling you, I don't even believe it either. But Cozy Earth sheets breathe. And here's what I love about them. Cozy Earth's best-selling sheet is a bamboo set, okay? Temperature regulating. Gets softer with every wash. I'm not kidding you, all right? Now,

Let's start with some YouTube comments. This is from your interview with Ross Coulthart. Mr. Redness writes, why would the Russians or Chinese, Japanese not have their own crash recovery ships? I think they definitely do. Same with India. Just my opinion.

Well, you can't recover them on U.S. soil. I mean, that's the obstacle, right? If the shit crashes over here, then you can't get it because you'd be in our airspace and you would have been detected. Well, then how do they not detect those things? Sometimes they do detect them, but they're also very small.

Certainly not a spacecraft. I mean, an aircraft. These are similar comments. This is from Patrick L6932. Then the next one's from John. Maybe they do. Not to cut you off, but maybe they do. Maybe they do. Maybe they do land and take stuff.

But I'm just saying we monitor our airspace pretty carefully. Well, we're tight for time, so I can't read these names again. They wrote in response to the UFO interview. Still no actual evidence. Actual all caps. John variously. Okay, I have time for his name. Just another UFO slash UAP talk.

Lots of words, innuendos, indirect anecdotes and the like. But where is the evidence? I'm into this for the first 15 minutes. Now onto other things. Oh, please. First, you're not wrong. But why does the government

have these programs with millions of dollars in budgets and work with the special forces if they don't have anything to pick up or collect? I'm not talking about little green men. I don't know what I'm talking about. I just know that they exist for a reason. Okay? And it's not, oh, it's just a boondoggle. Okay.

So you have all these people staffed up, just sitting around doing nothing all the fucking time so they can collect a check. Nobody's ever picked it out. I don't believe that. That said, we need the transparency so there can be proof. Again, I don't believe they got little green men. It's not about that for me. If they don't have anything good, then let's cut the budget. You see what I'm saying? Transparency. That's what I'm looking for. And you're right. We need proof. We need transparency. This is from your video about whether or not third parties are a threat to President Biden's reelection. Sandra Spittel, 5,972, writes, above all else, this country won't survive another term of Trump. Do you really believe Bobby is the one to help heal

this mess in our country, Chris? By the way, you are judging by your words. I wish you luck with your show. I don't care if it's bad for Biden. See, if you see Biden as an existential proposition, oh, you can't do it now, it's too dangerous, we have to get rid of Trump. Every election they say, this one's too important, now it's too dangerous, this is the most important election.

Nothing changes if nothing changes. This two-party system is killing us. It's killing us because all you're about, don't you notice that you're getting worse and worse choices and that the margins in the elections are getting tighter and tighter? Don't you wonder why that is? That is a binary zero-sum situation. And there's attrition because people are flaking off

because they don't want to be part of it. And you're forcing people to make bad choice after bad choice. And eventually they'll leave you, okay? That's why I'm not just going to give up on making this system better or changing it because the way it is isn't working. The Ubaku Zen Center writes,

you have way too many sponsor breaks in your content that will put people off. Also, what's with all the bot subscribers? I feel like this is a good setup to your sub stack. It's kind of like a nice little convenient segue into your sub stack. It's almost like that's why I intentionally pulled this comment. Right. Look, sub stack hopefully will give us an opportunity to make sure that these are real people.

I think that one of the scams of social media is that there are at least, I don't want to put a number on it, a significant number of them are fake or dupes that are controlled by single or groups of individuals. And I'll tell you why I believe that. If I look at my own follow-up, do it right now, all right? Real time, okay? Real time, can't fake it. Doing it here. Professional dashboard. Okay. I think he is bringing it up. I'm trying to look over my screen. I'll show you.

Total followers, 1.17 million. Yeah, I'll show the screen. No, I'm going to show it. Follows. I'm reading it to you first. Follows, 10,300. Unfollows, 9,500. Wow.

How does it get to be that close? And it's usually closer. Okay? I know my phone's broken. Yeah, we actually can't focus that. It's manual focus. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

You broke this funnel right now. Yeah, all right. So, look, this happens every day. I'm up 0% every day. It nets to neutral. Same thing on Twitter. How? How does that make sense in any logical world?

Now, look, you can have your fun with it. They're unfollowing because you suck. Yeah, fine. Okay. Then why are the follower numbers and unfollowers so similar all the time? Are we all aiming for net neutral? No. Although that is a good pun. I do believe in net neutrality, by the way. I was talking about the climate. Oh, no. No, because we got to do a lot better. Neutral is not good enough with where we are right now. But there's something going on. We're being manipulated. They do it with the ads. They do it with the placement.

They do it with the algorithm. They're doing it with AI. They're doing it to make money. They got a lot of fake accounts. They got a lot of manipulated accounts. And I can't wait for it to be exposed. I just want to remind you, this top of this was, you have way too many sponsor breaks in your content.

What I was trying to suggest with your sub stack comment was- You're not going to have sponsors. No, no, there's no ads. So you don't have to worry about it. It's an ad-free experience. You got no ads. The sponsors we have are fantastic, though. They're good sponsors.

I want brand partners. Why? Because it's a commercial business. And I want to make money. I want to generate revenue with this so that we can use it to do more stuff. But I feel you about it, okay? And look, my kids yell at me all the time because I buy the cheap subscriptions so there are commercials instead of getting the commercial-free stuff.

I get their point. But they just don't bother me because I grew up watching commercials. So it's not as big a deal for me. However, with the Substack, it's not just that it's ad-free. You are going to get access to me that other people are not going to get for good reason. And we're going to talk about things that I don't usually talk about because it's not for general audience. And I'm not saying it's going to be secrets because obviously some asshole will join Substack

and then leak the stuff there if they think they can find something that's a gotcha. But the goal is to be more help to more people. We don't fake the funk here. And here's the real talk.

We got to get to the bottom of these camps that were mentioned. If that is actually being bantered about with his advisors and stuff, we got to talk about that because that's the next step along this path to fascism.

People are frustrated by me for not seeing the existential threat of Trump. Some people say the existential threat of Biden. I don't know how Biden can be a fascist and clueless at the same time, but whatever. Again, I think it's all about just picking your pejorative and just heaping bad things on the people that you don't like. I don't believe that Trump has enough philosophy, wherewithal, or determination, or sense of strategy, or ideological calling to be part of anything bigger than himself. And for him, it's just about getting power, proving he's not a loser, him it's just about getting power, proving he's not a loser, and probably getting out. I don't think he has some dark agenda. And I think that all the prosecutions and checks and balances after what happened on January 6th and his efforts to mess with the election results

are reason that people are using why it's going to get worse. I see why I see it as just as likely for reason that it won't get worse, that who's going to want to be part of his team and try that again. When you see what's happening to them now, losing their law licenses, going to prison, people who signed up as fake electors, getting prosecuted in state, who's going to want to be a part of that? prosecuted in state. Who's going to want to be a part of that? Hey, Chris, I don't understand why you're not seeing the fact that they're going after Adams because he's bringing so much attention to the open border and the migrants in this city. Come on, man. Listen, do we have a problem with migrants? Yes. Is the border open? Technically, no, of course not.

Is it practically open? Yes, because when you come across, they do catch and release, which is a terrible policy. Adams is therefore being investigated because of that. I don't believe that. I also don't believe in the investigation yet. Why?

I only know what you show. And all I know so far is that you're going after a couple of people, of his people, for taking money from people they shouldn't have. I don't know that it didn't end there. How did it wind up in Adam's pocket? If it's just about him calling about a fire code, that's what politicians do for people all the time. For good reason, no reason, bad reason.

So you're going to come up and confront a sitting mayor of a major city and take his devices at a public event. You better have something. And I don't think the Fed should get the benefit of taking their sweet ass time in this. Mayor Adams has an election in a year. Okay. If you have something, come with it now or let him restore confidence in his leadership. We definitely have problems on the border. I don't know that that's why Mayor Adams is being investigated. I do not believe that the DOJ

is an arm of the Biden crime family. Hi, Chris, my name is Christy and an employee of yours is actually my husband, and we are expecting our first child. So my question for you is, do you have any advice for new parents, specifically new fathers? Thanks so much. First of all, I don't even know who your husband is. And I want to wish him well. Congratulations, man. You know, it's great when couples have a kid because now you're a family.

Now you're a family. And I'm not saying you can't have family without kids, but it kind of is what it is, right? So I wish you all the best. And you do need well-wishing because it is harder than anything you've done before because it will matter to you in a way it never has before. You love your husband to death. He's the best. He's the best. He bangs around with a couple of your friends. He loses his job and

becomes a drunk. He's gone, okay? That will never happen with your child. Now, there are some very dark circumstances where you do have to let a kid go and bottom out so you can get him help, but let's leave all that darkness to the side. You'll always love them. It doesn't matter how they treat you. It is so bizarre.

And until you're in it, you don't realize this. You're a little boy or a little girl, little boy, less likely, because boys love their mommies, but not always, but mostly. They'll say mean stuff to you about how you look and how you act that go right to your core, but it'll never hit you the way it is from anyone else because you love them, you made them

and you want the best for them. And it doesn't mean that everything goes the best, but the only advice that I have is forgive yourself for what's about to happen. Mistakes are gonna happen. Mistakes are gonna happen. You're gonna blame yourself over nothing, over something, over everything.

It doesn't matter. Forgive yourself. And Live by Norman Lear, may he rest in peace, had a great two-line bromide, a formula for how to deal. So what? Now what? When something happens with the kid, oh, she didn't get into the toddler group of music. So what? Now what? What else can we do? What else is, you know? Just that's the attitude you have to have. It's going to be a wild ride.

It's not easy, but the grind is the glory. And it will be more worth it than any relationship you've ever had or will ever have in your life until your next kid. Enjoy it. Well, thanks for answering that. My wife is going to be very excited that you- Is that her?

Yeah. Are you serious? Yeah, man. When? I wanted to get your real response before you knew it was me. When? We found out a little while ago.

She's doing in May. Oh. Congratulations. Thank you. I'll hug you later. Oh, that's beautiful. And it's funny because I threw in a little bit about how, well, you don't have to have kids to be a family

because I was like, oh, Greg's gonna give me a hard time about how he's married, but he doesn't have kids. This is gonna be beautiful. You were raised right. You love family. You care about your relationships. You care about the right things. You're gonna be fine.

You're gonna be a great dad. Thank you. But it is tricky for someone who is used to stuff working out, you know, having ups and downs, but getting it. This is not that way. This is not that way. This is about being scared to death about not knowing what this thing, which is the right way up and how did this kid sleeps and Googling shit and WebMD and all these silly things. But I'll tell you a couple of things happen that are magical, okay?

One, and I don't know Christy, but she's got a great voice. I know, right? Yeah. But there are things about you that I guarantee she doesn't like. Oh, thanks. And they will matter much less when she doesn't like. Oh, thanks. And they will matter much less

when the little one comes. Okay, good. Because you do not have time. You know, the way you chew, or why do we have to watch this again? These things don't matter. Everybody likes watching Letterman. You are desperate for any downtime,

and it gives you perspective. And you are going to have someone, do you know what the baby is yet or no? It's a girl. Oh, so for you, every man wants a son until he has a daughter. And you will love this female in a way you have never contemplated loving a female before. contemplated loving a female before. Your mommy, your sister, your wife, you will require nothing from her except her own happiness. And you want nothing, but it is so weird because every other relationship you've ever had, even if it's your mom, even if it's your sister. Yeah, I love her. I just don't talk to her because it's like, oh, this will be different. sister yeah i love her i just don't talk to her because it's like oh this will be different where i want a sandwich say please yeah all right i'll get the sandwich you know it it just you will

never hold her the same standards because you love them you'll shape you'll want her to do the right thing you want her to be respectful you want to put all that good stuff in her that was putting you because you're a great guy but you will never have another relationship like this. When that kid is put into your hands, you will know with more certainty than anything you've ever known in your life. The answer is yes. I will do whatever needs to be done.

Whatever it is. Oh, I'm not gonna sleep tonight. You'll bitch, but you'll do it. Oh, I'll tell you, you know, she's about to fall. Whatever it is, yes, will be the answer. You will do anything for this kid for the rest of her life. And that is a unique feeling. Sure, we make our promises to our spouses.

We mean them when we make them. But you didn't make them. You didn't make them. They are not a piece of you. And you will also have a bond with your wife that can never go away. It doesn't matter. If you turn out that you're only romantically attracted

to tortoises or whatever your generation does, you will always have this bond. They will never ever be someone who was the mother of your first child. And it makes it all worthwhile. It makes all the difficulty worthwhile. And it is difficult. Anybody else who tells you something is selling something. Well, we bought a SNU on Black Friday, so that's supposed to help. I don't have any idea what that is.

It's a very expensive bassinet that is like AI powered and it like sleeps the, it like rocks back and forth. It's supposed to. That's fine as long as the easy way isn't the most usual way, which is that the kid's in the bed. And you'll say, oh, we don't want the kid in the bed. You get a nice five, six nights of no sleep and the baby sleeps even 15 minutes longer

when it's right next to mom. So she can turn and feed if she's feeding. We'll see how you feel then. All right. I was you once. I looked like you. Big mane of hair. No grays.

Laughing at everything. Look at me now. This is my future right here. Look at me now. I guess I got to start hitting the gym or something. Well, thank you. Thank you for taking the call. Oh, that is great.

That was the best piece of producing you've done since you came here. Wow. That was great. I hope you appreciated that. I know I do. So please keep the comments coming. That's how we get to a better place. Thank you for subscribing, following, checking out the sub stack, get things earlier, get

things without ads, get things about long COVID and access to moi, the Mo Man. And I'll see you on News Nation, 8P and 11P every weekday night. For Greg Ott, I'm Chris Cuomo. Let's get after it.
