Scott Pruitt and these weird little grifts of his, like he's going to get fired just for embarrassing the people in the White House. That's all. But I'm not going to get angry about it. No, because if you think about, if anything, he's like a low-level grifter. All these other guys are trying to swindle the the the thtthis guy is trying to steal moisturizing lotion. Because that story is one of the strangest ones for me, right? Because they said he sent out his security detail

to go and get him Ritz-Carlton Moisturizer, because that was his favorite. Now, here's the thing. I believe that he was telling them to go get it for free because if he wanted for himself, he could just he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, I need you guys to go get me the Ritz-Calds and Moisturizer. And he's like, don't buy it, you go in, you wait for people as soon as they check out, you run in, find in the room, it's never finished, just shake it out, just shake it out. You do the thing like the ketchup, you bring it back to me.

Don't they. Don't they. Don't they. Don't they. Don't the the the it all over myself. Like, how cheap can you be? That might be the reason that he gets fired. Trump might just be embarrassed.

Trump doesn't really care about corruption, but he cares about looking bad. Like, you're going to steal, you steal everything, buddy. Making me look bad over here. A chickfilet is like, is like, yeah, no. And every time, there are scandals that come up in the Trump administration where I go, thank Jesus in heaven, this didn't happen under Obama. Because can you imagine if one of Obama's people was found to be trying to buy a chicken franchise? We would have never lived that shit down.

Everybody loves chicken. We apologize for what happened. The flavor is no excuse. The Daily Show with CoverNoa, ears edition. Watch the Daily Show weekn Noa, Ears Edition.
