We'll tell you why you can outrun the police now. Jordan Klepper heads to a Trump rally and the Supreme Court has somehow decided that it's too hard to get a gun in America. So to to to to to to to to tha to tha to tha tha to tha tha to tha tha to to tha toda toda today today today today today today's today's today today. today's today today today than' than. than the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. than than, tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. than, than, than, than' thau. today's today's today's today's today's today's today's today's today's today's today's today's today's that it's too hard to get a gun in America. So let's do this, people. Let's jump straight into today's headlines. Okay, let's kick things off with the big news coming out of the Supreme Court. The only government department where the dress code is retired Jedi.
Starting point is 00:02:24 You all know how America has been struggling with gun violence for the past, let's say, half a century or so? Well, while everyone is trying to figure out a solution, the Supreme Court just weighed in the most unhelpful way possible. Breaking news at this hour. The U.S. Supreme Court has just issued a major ruling in a challenge to a New York gun law. Now this is the most significant Second Amendment ruling in more than a decade. In a six to three decision, the court struck down New York's law which places
Starting point is 00:02:53 restrictions on concealed handguns. The law in question in New York said to get a concealed carry permit a person had to go to the county sheriff and show some special need. Today the Supreme Court said that's unconstitutional, so this will affect New York and it'll affect half a dozen other states that have similar laws in which you had to show some heightened need beyond just a general desire for self-defense to get a concealed carry permit. This expands the Second Amendment right. What we don't know is if it completely eliminates the possibility for any sort of gun regulation.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Oh, I think we do know. I think we do know. You can see where this is going. This Supreme Court is feeling themselves, huh? Because you realize they finally have all the just, just the just the just the just the just thii. to do anything they want. It's like Amyconi-C Amy Coney Barrett was the last infinity stone that they needed. Yeah, they put it in and now they're just snapping away at all the laws.
Starting point is 00:03:47 It's like voting rights, gun control, Miranda rights, abortion. Mmm, I love this song, yeah. But yeah, the Supreme Court has struck down restrictions on who can carry guns outside of the home, saying that you can't require people to meet certain standards in order to get a license, which makes complete sense because that would be making the militia well-regulated. And I mean, you can't do that, you know? It's not like it's written anywhere. Basically, New York had a law for the past hundred years that said, if you want to just carry a gun around with you wherever you go, you need to prove that to, you're, the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, thiolk, because, because, because, because, thiolk, because, because, thia, because, thia, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, is is, is, is a their, me me me me me.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s, thr.s, thr.s, thr.s, thr.s, th thr.s, th th th throooooooooooooooomorrow, because, because, because, because, wherever you go, you need to prove that you have a specific reason. You need that gun, you know, for your protection.
Starting point is 00:04:26 You have to go to the police, you have to tell them, you have to explain the whole thing, like maybe someone is making threats against you, or maybe you're Liam Neeson's daughter, and people keep trying to New York, you can't do that anymore. Yeah. And you know, in a way, this is exciting as a New Yorker. Yeah, because I don't know about you guys, but whenever I've been sitting in rush hour traffic in New York with drivers with drivers screaming at each other and bikers cussing out the drivers and pedestrians wailing at the bikers and the drivers. The one thing I always think is, man, one thi thi thi if everyone had a gun right now. Just a Glock or two would really chill this situation now. And I mean, it will switch things up, you know, now when you're on the subway and you
Starting point is 00:05:17 see a guy reaching into his pants who'd be like, oh, please let it be a dick. Please let it be a dick. Please let it be a dick. Please let it be a dick. Let it be a dick. Oh, please let it be a penis. Ah ha ha. And it's crazy how this ruling is coming down at the exact same time that Congress finally reached a deal on gun reform. It took 30 years of trying to come up with these extremely minor gun safety measures. And then the Supreme Court just swoops in and moves everything back in the other direction.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Yeah, Congress is like, we've reached a bipartisan agreement that 18 to 21-year-olds can no longer buy guns and leap years between the hours of 3 a.m. and 3.15 a. And then the Supreme Court is like, I, check this out. Starting now, every time it rains, guns, guns, yeah? What do you guys think? So this is obviously a big setback for gun safety. But if you ask me, New York just needs to get creative. Yeah, they need to think outside of the box.
Starting point is 00:06:15 In the same way that Texas did, right? Look at what Texas did with banning abortion. They weren't allowed to ban it. So they just made a crazy new law that basically banned it anyway. That's what New York needs to do with guns. Like, yeah, they should say, OK, anyone can buy a gun if they want. But the gun stores are only open on the nights that the Knicks win. All right, let's move on from the people. You know what's funny is like, whenever I'm at Madison SquareGon and I see the players, they're like, did you, I'm like, I don't make that, I love to make these jokes. I love to make these jokes.
Starting point is 00:06:50 All right, let's move on from the people who are about to cause havoc with all their guns to the people the people who are already causing havoc with all their their their their their their their their their their their... their. their. their. their. their. their. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

Don't to make. to make. right, let's move on from the people who are about to cause havoc with all their guns to the people who are already causing havoc with all their guns, the police. Over the last year, the city of Chicago has been rocked by incidents where police saw a civilian running away, they decided to chase after them, and somehow they ended up killing them. So now, the police department has a new plan to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop those types of killings before they start. Chicago police officers will no longer be allowed to chase people on foot simply because they run away or give chase over minor offenses. The new policy requires enhanced supervision. Officers must file a report if they start a chase,
Starting point is 00:07:38 foot chases will be reviewed and officers must weigh the seriousness of the offense against the need to make an arrest. Officers can't start a chase if they're hurt, unaware weigh the seriousness of the offense against the need to make an arrest. Officers can't start a chase if they're hurt, unaware of their location, unable to communicate or lose their radio or gun. Well, yeah. If you're a cop who's lost your radio and gun, and you don't know where you are, you are in no position to be chasing anyone. Yeah, maybe just throwing the towel, my man, today's not your day.
Starting point is 00:08:13 But I think this policy actually makes sense, because people used to assume that if you're running from a police you must have done something wrong and you need to be chased down. But there are many reasons why someone might want to run from the police. Maybe they're scared of the police or maybe the cop is their ex and they were just walking around and sweat and they don't want their ex to see them and be like, oh looks like I made the right choice. And even if the person is a legitimate suspect, you want to make sure that the crime is worth their their their their their their to to their to to their their their their their, their, to their, their, to their, their, their, to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make their, their, their, to be their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, maybe their, maybe their, maybe, their, maybe their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thoome.e.e. Maybe, thoomorrow, throwne.e.e.e.e.e. Maybe, maybe, maybe, te.e.e.e. Maybe, maybe, maybe, their, maybe, maybe, their, maybe, their, the chase, right? Because when police chase a suspect, it is way more likely to end in violence. Think about it.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Once somebody makes you sprint across half the city, you're way more likely to want to beat their ass when you catch them. Yeah, nobody's happy when they're forced to run. Even people running marathons are like, as soon as I get to the finish that, I'm gonna choke somebody. All tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th-I. th-I. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, th-in, th-so, th-so, th-so, thr-s, thr-s, tho, tho, tho, to, to, to, to, tho, tho, to, to, to, to, to, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thr-s, thr-s, is thr-s, thr- move on to some international news. Right now, inflation is out of control. And I mean, we all know this, except probably Jeff Bezos. Yeah, he probably treats bank accounts the same way the rest of us treat closet spaces.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Like, oh, where do I keep my winter dollars? There's no more space. But, for everyone else, inflation hurts. Prices are skyrocating. And it turns out, it's th i it's thi it's not thi it's thi it's thi it's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. tho tho tho to to too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. to And it turns out, it's not just America. This is happening all over the world, which is weird, because Fox News told me that Joe Biden is the only reason we have inflation. So that means he's also causing it in Denmark? Damn you, Joe!
Starting point is 00:09:40 Now, one country in particular that's been struggling is the United Kingdom, right? Where railway workers have been demanding an increase in their pay to help deal with inflation. But their demands have been ignored, so this week they took action. Britain faces its biggest rail strikes in three decades after last-minute talks between a union and train companies failed to agree on pay. Up to 40,000 staffers staged a walkout in a protest over pay and job security. Good morning from a quieter than normal Paddington station where just one in five services will be running as indeed they are around the country.
Starting point is 00:10:17 The Prime Minister has told his cabinets these strikes are wrong and unnecessary. I want to say something about the rail strikes that are today causing significant disruption and inconvenience up and down the country the country the country the country the country the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. the thoe and tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the and the to pay to pay to to to to tooes tooes tooes tooes tooes tooes toa toa toa toa toa toa toa toa toa toa toa toa to p. to p. to p. to p. to p. to p. to p. to p. to p. to p. their. their. their the the the the the the the the the the the te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. the rail strikes that are today causing significant disruption and inconvenience up and down the country. Make it more difficult for people to get to work, risking people's appointments, make it more difficult for kids to sit exams, all sorts of unnecessary aggravation this is going to cause. Yes, it's preposterous. I mean, I need those trains to get to my illegal work parties. How else am I supposed to spread COVID? I mean, we'll think about it. This is really ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:10:53 This is absolutely disgusting. Absolutely. Yes, British railway workers are on strike. And now, British people have no way to tra way to their silly sounding towns. Yeah, there's no way. Someone from Barton and the Beans can travel to Giggleswick or to Upton Snottsbury or even to Netherwallop. How will they get to Netherwallop?
Starting point is 00:11:21 But for real, for real, for real. The truth is, a railway strike is actually really serious, right. to to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's their-s''' their, their, their, their, for real. The truth is, a railway strike is actually really serious, right? Because it is crippling for the UK. So many of its people depend on the trains. And I don't know who you guys think British people just get around on flying umbrellas, but that's just the nannies. The people need the trains. And please, don't get me wrong. I also understand that this train strike inconveniences countless people in the UK. But you know who's also inconvenienced, right? Because people are complaining.
Starting point is 00:11:48 In the UK, they're like, oh, these people need to get back to work. This is terrible, just get back to work. But the train workers are inconvenienced. You realize train workers in the the time to get a wage increase and 10 years ago wasn't the time and then nothing in between was the time then when is the time right? Because I don't care what anybody says I really don't. It's not fair for somebody to work a full-time job but not be able to make ends meet especially when your bosses make millions in profits. Like if you you can't afford to live, thi th i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i to to to to to to the the to to the the the the the the to the to the the the to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. then what's even the point of working?
Starting point is 00:12:28 You only work so that you can live. That's why it's called making a living, all right? Working without living is like being a parent, but there's no kid. Yeah, think about it. Like parents, every parent knows that being a parent is miserable, but then your kid, they just, they smile at you or they do something for the first time and you're like oh it's all worth it it so adorable but imagine if there was no child huh imagine if there was no child but you still got to be like the
Starting point is 00:12:53 middle of the night by screams out of no and there's nothing or just just every now and there's just diapers filled with shit everywhere in your house and you just got it you you just you you you you you just you just you just you just you you just you you just you you just you you just you just you just you just you just you just you just you just you just you just you just the the the the the th th just th just th just th just th just th you just th you just th just th th just th just th th you just th you th th th th th th th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th th I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th is just th is just th is just thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th what am I doing this for? What's the point? And that's what these workers are going through. So this train strike is a big deal. It is affecting customers, it's affecting employees, it's affecting the British economy. But you know a lot of people don't realize, you know who this also affects the British trains. Now that I've stopped working, I've had a lot of time alone with my thoughts and I've realized what the hell am I? I'm a train. I'm Thomas the train, but I have a human face, but where's the rest of my body?
Starting point is 00:13:42 Do I have arms somewhere? Do I have a penis? Is it a human penis? Or is it a train penis? Help me somebody. Help me find my train penis! Ah! Ah! All right, that's it for the headlines.
Starting point is 00:14:00 But, before we go to a quick break, let's check in on the stock market with our finance expert, Michael Costa, everybody. What's going on, Mike? What's going on, Mike? Good to see you again. So, what's happening? So, what's happening? So, uh, what's happening?
Starting point is 00:14:16 So, uh, I know I always say this but I am actually really crushing it. Yeah you are but you never tell us how. What's that what's happening? I got a hot tip. I got a hot tip for how you can crush it in the market and I'll share that with you. Okay cool. But obviously the big news today, Kellogg's America's food staple their stock is moving big as they announced that they're actually separating into three companies. Yeah, I they're they're th. I th. I're th. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho's. tho's tho's tho's tho's tho's tho's a tho's a tho' tho' thr-I's thr-I's thr-a thatea'er's thr-I's the. the the the. the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the. the the tho's tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the. thi's thi's thi's thi. the. the. the. the. thea. thea. to to to toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I don't understand. They're splitting into three companies. Like, how's that gonna work? Easy, it's gonna be snap, crackle, and pop. You wanna, you wanna get to the chart? Let's get the chart. Let's get the chart. So look, look, to a non-expert, such as yourself, Trevor, this is a chart, to a too, too, to too, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the to to to to to to to to to the snap, the snap, the snap, the snap, the snap, the snap, the, the snap, the snap, the snap, to snap, to snap, to snap, to snap, to snap, to snap, to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the snap, the to, to, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, the snap, the snap, the snap, the snap, the snap, the, the snap, the Kellogg's chart, okay? But what it actually is is this
Starting point is 00:15:05 is a chart measuring how good a bowl of cereal is over time, okay? Now, when you pour that first bowl of cereal, it is right here, it is dry, it is lifeless. It is undervalued. Now, here's where the value goes up. When you add milk, bang, okay? Cereal reaches its most valuable point when you add milk. Now, okay? Cereal reaches its most valuable point when you add milk. Now, if you don't eat it right away, that cereal starts to get soggy. This whole thing starts to depreciate. Now, I've identified a very important part of this timeline.
Starting point is 00:15:37 I call this the SMBBB, the sugar-milk bounce. Bang right there. You know what this is. That's that special mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix mix that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the know what this is. That's that special mix of milk with sugar, with yellow number five, with corn syrup, okay? Right here, Trevor, you are sitting on a lot of liquidity, all right? And that liquid is delicious milk, so. So, so, now, yeah, you get it. Yeah, I think you get it. Yeah, I think you get it. Yeah. This is a difficult market to understand. That's why I'm an expert. Is this a bear market?
Starting point is 00:16:10 Is this a bull market? This is a tiger market, okay? Because if you're Kellogg's right now, you're seeing this, and you're thinking, things are going to go in great, okay? Now, Trevor, I made a fortune on thak, I, I, I, I made a fortune on this. I got a buddy who works at Kellogg's, and he told me from the inside that they were gonna split up into three companies, so I bought a bunch of stock the day before. Oh, Costa, that's inside of trading.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Well, that makes sense because I have a shitload of money inside my bank account, okay? So, oh, the UK train strike. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's strike. Yes. Yeah, that's that story. You know, I'm sorry. When I hear Boris Johnson talking about that, I'm thinking, I don't give a f-bidd. Okay, because, look, as an American, we're dealing with too much shit right now, okay?
Starting point is 00:16:55 The Supreme Court just announced that everybody in this audience can haveute-choo train problem, okay? Here's a problem, Trevor. If you get on a train and brick stain and you're going to Newcastle and it's a hundred kai and it costs 10 quid and your body's 30 stuff, how many? I don't give a fuck, okay? That's your biggest problem, Britain? That some of you are going to have to take a free ambulance to work? I can put a semi-automatic rifle in my backpack as I walk my daughter to daycare, okay? Okay, do you have a hot tip that Michael? You seem a little stress, man. What's the tip? Yeah, I already told you. Get a buddy who works at the cereal store, he tells you when this value is going to go up and buy the stock. Michael, no, that's illegal. We need a tip that we can use. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:17:45 All right. So you want to save some money, all right? You don't need to buy the cereal to get the toy inside. All right? You go to the store, you rip open. the this expert advice. Michael Costa, everybody. All right, don't go away. Because when we come back, Jordan Clepper is going to ask Trump's supporters what they
Starting point is 00:18:09 think about January 6. You don't want to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Again, that's Zip Recruiter. The smartest way to the day show. For the past few weeks, people around the country have been riveted by the congressional hearings about January 6th.
Starting point is 00:19:38 The day Trump supporters and Mike Pence played a very intense game of hide and seek. Now today's hearing focused on how President Trump try to use the Justice Department to over- the-Jearnsk. Now today's hearing focused on how President Trump tried to use the Justice Department to overturn the election. And according to the acting deputy attorney general, even though the Justice Department told Trump the election wasn't stolen, Trump was pretty explicit about what he needed done. Let's now put up the notes where you quote the president. As you're speaking to that, he said, the president said, just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest of me and the Republican congressman.
Starting point is 00:20:14 So, Mr. Donoghue, that's a direct quote from President Trump, correct? That's an exact quote from the president, yes. Wow. Just say what I need you to say and leave the rest to me and my boys. That's shady as hell. And I believe Trump said that because it's also what he said to the doctor when Eric was born. Just say it's not mine and leave the rest to me. I got it. I got it from here. But with all this damning evidence, the big question is, are these hearings changing the minds of Trump supporters?
Starting point is 00:20:48 Well, our very own Jordan Klepper went to a Trump rally in Mississippi to find out. For another episode of Jordan Klepper, Fingers the Pulse. Last weekend, the Trump Freedom Tour, comprised of Don, his son, and a caravan of folks looking for book deals, headed to Mississippi, and I was curious who was shelling out the $9,000-4 dollars for a ticket to see the show. Much of the country was watching the revelations coming out of the January 6th hearings. And surely these politically engaged folks were also tuned in. Have you guys been watching the January 6 hearings?
Starting point is 00:21:27 No. Have you watched any of the January 6 hearings? Not really. I had a bar up and changing phones. But I've changed phones. Are you watching them? No, sir. No, why not?
Starting point is 00:21:39 Well, a time? You don't have time to watch a two-hour hearing. Yeah. How long th at at at at at at at the the the the th at the th? th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the th. the the the the the the the the the tho. tho. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. to. to. to. toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. the ta. t watch a two-hour hearing. Yeah. Not at all. How long are you here today? Until five. Until five, which is you got here at? I got here at seven. Seven, which makes it ten hours. Right. With the two-hour hearing, who's got time for that shit? Most were paying no attention, and yet there were some paying even less attention. What about what happened on January 6th. January 6th, the election day? No, election day was back in November.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Do you... I don't even know what? Do you know about January 6th? No. So when I say January 6th, that means... Nothing. I don't know. That's just a date here. Yeah. Did you hear about the insurrection attempt at the Capitol? No. For almost everyone here, insurrectioninginginginging the the the the the hearing. the hearing. the hearing. the hearing. the hearing. th. the th. the the the th. the th. th. the the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the thi. the th. the election.

No, no. For almost everyone here, insurrectioning was a non-issue. It was the hearings themselves that were the problem.
Starting point is 00:22:31 I think it's an abomination. It's just McCarthyism, it's a witch trial. To which up? It is. Yeah, it's like a mob of people coming together with pitchforks saying, and we can't have that. Yeah with an agenda here's the narrative we're pushing and that's all we're pushing is our narrative. A mob of people with an agenda pushing an agenda that can't stand in America. No. We should we should have an investigation about a mob of people. That's something everybody would watch that. Yeah absolutely.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Oh Nancy Pelosi she started very responsible for what went on then. She planned it. She planned what happened? I believe so. Why did she plan to get attacked by a mob of Trump supporters? Because she wanted to be able to blame it on the Trump supporters and have something bad to say about them. Should we investigate that? Uh, yes.
Starting point is 00:23:16 So you must be watching the January 6 committee? No. So what was it people were watching? Two thousand mules came out and it showed a lot of stuff. You've got 2,000 mules. And then this movie, I'm 2,000 mules. 2,000 mules. Yes. 2,000 mules is a documentary by Dinesh to suza, claiming massive voter fraud based on some cell phone data and surveillance footage that's been lauded at by Bill Barr, discredited by fact-checkers, and banned from even right-wing media because of its unfounded claims.
Starting point is 00:23:46 You notice you turn on Fox News? I have never mentioned that movie once. Somebody's pulling the strings. Who do you think it is? It may be Obama? You think Obama's pulling the strenthears? You think it's possible that Fox News doesn't mention 2,000 mules. Your theory, there's a giant conspiracy up on top in which they don't do it. Or the second theory is, that movie's not credible.
Starting point is 00:24:10 I know the movie's credible. Maybe sharing some of the committee's findings would break through this mug-up bubble. Rudy Giuliani was drunk the night of the election, and it was partially his idea to deny the election results. Buy it? I haven't seen that. You're the first source I've gotten on that. You haven't heard that at all? That Rudy was drunk that night? It's an election night. I wouldn't be surprised if anybody was.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Yeah. You trust a drunk Rudy Giuliani. I'm not saying I trust a drunk Rudy Giuliani. Question is the trusted yourself or other individuals that you are with under the influence of alcohol. I totally have. Then what's the difference? I am not the Commander-in-Chief in charge of the United States of America. No, it doesn't matter. Well, I think that's an important detail.
Starting point is 00:24:51 If no one was willing to turn on the hearing, I decided to bring the hearing to them. I first shared testimony from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from told him that the stuff that his people were settling out to the public were bullshit. Like I said, you just can't be up 300,000 votes and then lose. But that's Trump's Attorney General. Does that sway you at all? He's turned on it. He's been paid by somebody to shut his mouth. Everybody knows the election was fraud. No, no, he's saying the opposite. He's saying the opposite?
Starting point is 00:25:32 Yeah, he's saying there wasn't fraud. That's bullshit. Wow. That's a kind going in there right now to see Donald Trump speak. Yes, sir. Okay, cool. Well, good productive chat. What's your response there? I think it's true. You think Bill Barr is right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Because he's talking about the fact that the election was stolen. It's bullshit. Yeah, for sure. So he says it wasn't stolen. You don't believe that? No. So who do you trust? Like Trump? Trump's family? I trust Trump. You trust Ivanka? Yeah, I do.
Starting point is 00:26:09 I think she's very smart and very intelligent. Let me show you, this is what she said. How did that affect your perspective about the election when Attorney General Barr made that statement? It affected my perspective. I respect to Barr. So I accepted what he was saying. I don't know that's not. I edited it anyway. You don't believe she actually said that?
Starting point is 00:26:36 Did she say it on Twitter? You don't think that... It could not be... It might be one of those... What, they got clones out there these days? You think that was a... It might be a clone, yeah. It might be a clone, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It, yeah. It, yeah. It, yeah. It, yeah. It, yeah.

It might be one of those, what, they got clones out there these days? You think that was a... It might be a clone, yeah. It might be an Ivanka clone. Hot take, my friend.
Starting point is 00:26:53 It's almost like you're confronted with it and your brain just does some results to figure out, there must be some other reason that. She looks frightened. She's tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. thiiiiiiiiiiii- She does look scared, almost like she's been caught. What do you think? I'm confused a little bit. Obanka. His daughter. His daughter says she accepts what the Attorney General said, which is that the election wasn't stolen, that Trump lost.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Well, is it a lie? I mean, if you listen to these people, yeah, it's a big lie. And I'm fearful you're going to go inside there and he's going to keep telling you that lie. We should go. Yeah. I think we're ready to cut this off. Being confronted with uncomfortable information isn't easy to swallow.

Starting point is 00:29:41 He's here to talk about the new season of his hit Netflix series, The Umbrella Academy. Please welcome Elliot Page! Anytouch? Thank you. Thank you. Anytangue? Welcome back to the show. Thank you so much for having you again. Let's start with the most important thing. Congratulations, your show number one on Netflix as we speak. Pretty amazing. I'd love to know when you start a project. Do you have any inclination? Do you go like, this is gonna be a hit?
Starting point is 00:30:27 Do you have an idea that it's gonna be a hit? Or do you just go with it and hope for the best? No, yeah, you gotta just go with it, hope for the best, because I've definitely been in things that you think are gonna be a hit, so you're not. And I've had the process because we never know what ever is going to happen about anything. What I think a lot of people have enjoyed is how the rights has incorporated your personal story into the story on the show,
Starting point is 00:30:51 because both yourself and the character have transition. And it's just like this beautiful moment where we've seen like families and acceptance and people not understanding. What did you enjoy about that part of the storytelling? Well, well, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thean, thean, thiii.. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi of the storytelling? Oh, well, I really enjoyed the collaboration, our wonderful showrunner, Steve Blackman, really was excited about incorporating it and an incredible writer, journalist Thomas Page McB, who I've known since he wrote on a mini-series I did years ago,
Starting point is 00:31:19 and he came on board to really help craft the story and the journey. And I'm proud of it. And it's just an aspect of Victor. And he's with his family that loves him. And like they said, we have to get back to saving the world. We have to get back to saving the world. I like it. My brother sent me a text message the other day, which I felt was like pertinent to this
Starting point is 00:31:45 conversation because we were talking about superheroes and we're talking about superpowers. And then my younger brother was like, if you had any power in the world, like if everyone was getting a power at the same time, what would yours be? If you could choose any power in real life, what would you choose? What would you choose? You know, I really, in the show, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the show, the character, Allison, she has a power, with a rumor, I heard a rumor, and then, right? I think you could do a lot of good stuff with that, you know, and it's, it's, you know, speaking, and maybe you could help share some positive seeds of thought that could, yeah, that's.
Starting point is 00:32:23 I love it, just going around like making people's days. Right. Yeah. Right. I like that it was like maybe like a testament to you as a person because if you said to me Trevor you have the power to just go up to people and convince them of anything. I don't know that my answer would be as wholesome you're like I'm gonna use my power to like the to the to be to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be their their their their their their their their. I I I their. I their. I their. I their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm to be to be to be as well. I'm to be as. I'm to be as. I'm to to to to to to to to to to their. I their. I'm their. I'm their their their. I'm their their. I'm their. I their. I their their. I their. I their. I their. I their. I their. I their. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm their. I'm not. I'm not.

I'd be like, I heard a rumor that you like me. And I'm not saying you don't get to have those selfish moments. Okay, great. Some selfishness. Or allow them.

Making me blush. What's my secret? Yeah because so here's my thing. When the people ask me to take a picture for like a magazine then I I there's many days I stand in front of the mirror and then I go, how do you get this? How do you get this part to not show? Because they always tell you, like when it's, you know what I mean? You know what, you know what? the photo thing is there like a is the secret behind this is it well You know what this is my workout that I do which I did this morning in my living room is all with VR
Starting point is 00:33:55 Wait wait wait like virtual reality? Yeah, it feels so weird that this is now what I'm what we're talking about But no no no no no I want to talk about this. Yeah, it's called Supernatural. I do not have anything to do with this. You told my VR VR? VR, yeah. And it's a certain fitness app. And I can do it in my living room, and I can do it, you know, if you're in a gym on the inside? No, you'll, all of a sudden,
Starting point is 00:34:27 all of a sudden you're in some just extraordinary landscape. Okay, okay. And you, this is so funny. And then a trainer pops up for a moment, they warm you up. There's a thing called flow in boxing. Okay. You have these like two large kind of bats, like a white one and a black one called flow in boxing. I prefer the flow personally. OK. You have these two large kind of bats, like a white one and a black one. And then inside the world, though, right?
Starting point is 00:34:50 This is in the world. So you're holding this control. Then a head of you, sort of on the horizon, this portal emerges. And out comes, like these orbs, like, the thiiii, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, or., or., or.
