The Daily Show: Ears Edition - Trump Drops in on SCOTUS & Bulldozes Judge’s Ballroom Construction Ruling | Dr. Mary Claire Haver
Episode Date: April 2, 2026Desi Lydic tackles Trump's attendance at Supreme Court oral arguments on birthright citizenship as he pushes to end the constitutional right for "billionaires," and his insistence on continuing constr...uction on the White House ballroom despite a federal judge's ruling to halt it. Plus, Trump unveils plans for a presidential hotel-brary. Lewis Black breaks down prediction markets, where you can now bet on anything. People are making millions betting on wars before they happen and what insult Trump will hurl next. Some markets are even giving Jesus better odds of returning than the New York Jets have of winning a Super Bowl. Board-certified OB/GYN and founder of The ‘Pause Life, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, joins Desi to discuss her new book, “The New Perimenopause.” Dr. Haver explains what perimenopause is, how the initial mental and neurological symptoms often go misdiagnosed because of a lack of awareness, training, and medical research on the subject. Plus, she offers her book as a guide to help women advocate for their own health and navigate this “second puberty” without suffering. “This is an inevitable and a very normal transition that happens to 100% of us, if we’re lucky to live long enough, but you should never suffer through it, ever. There should be zero suffering.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

You're listening to Comedy Central.
From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central,
it's America's only source for news.
This is The Daily Show with your host, Desi Lydon.
...gatts co-blocked.
Lewis Black tells us the stupidest way to lose money,
and you won't believe this,
but Donald Trump attended a court case
where he's not on trial.
Court, the people have ruined more women's lives than eyebrow plucking.
Today, they took on a historic case,
to decide whether every child born in the United States
is automatically an American citizen.
Even kids with annoying names like Grayson or Portabella.
And it's a very tricky question
because on the one hand, it's been enshrined in the Constitution
for 125 years.
But on the other hand, Donald Trump doesn't like it.
So scales of justice.
And Trump is taking this case very personally.
I'm outside of the Supreme Court in Washington
where President Trump has become the first seat.
sitting president to attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court.
Well, that makes sense.
Trump heard they'd be doing oral and was like, I'm in.
Maybe he was just hoping to influence the justices.
He's doing this thing with John Roberts or this thing to Clarence Thomas.
Unfortunately for Trump, he's not a great legal scholar,
so he probably thought a Supreme Court argument was going to be like this.
I want the truth.
You can't handle the truth.
When actually it was more like this.
Is the application of that general rule limited only to the situations that they had in mind
when they adopted the general rule, or do we say they adopted a general rule they meant
for that to apply to later applications that might come up?
There is no way Donald Trump was still awake at that point.
The guy who fell asleep at his own criminal trial.
wondering why birthright citizenship is such a big problem for Trump.
Yesterday, he explained that it's all about devious people exploiting it as a loophole.
Chinese billionaires who are billionaires from other countries
who all of a sudden have 75 children or 59 children in one case or 10 children
becoming American citizens.
Okay, big difference between 75 and 10.
10 is Mormon.
75 is a spider.
Also, counterpoint.
Have you seen America's test scores?
We need as many Chinese kids as we can get.
Gotta cheat off someone.
But that's actually a fair point.
Okay, foreign billionaires shouldn't be able
to just buy their way into citizenship.
Finally, we agree on something.
For $5 million this could be yours.
A gold card.
For $5 million you buy a path to citizenship in this country.
See, that's weird.
So Trump says he opposes birthright citizenship.
because he doesn't want rich people to buy their way into America,
but at the same time, he wants rich people to buy their way into America.
It's almost as if he's bringing up billionaires
for a completely disingenuous reason,
and there's some other group of people that he wants to stop from becoming citizens.
Gosh, what group am I thinking of?
Sorry, that was just my reminder to turn my ringer off.
Go on from birthright citizenship,
because the president has another court case to worry about.
Tonight, a federal judge putting the brakes on construction of President Trump's $400 million ballroom.
Declaring the president of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of first families.
He is not, however, the owner.
It was a 35-page ruling, and it was quite extraordinary in its writing.
It had 19 exclamation points.
Exclamation points?
Who is the judge?
Me writing a work email?
The court demands an immediate halt in construction.
But no worries, if not, exclamation point,
sideways smiley face.
I'm sorry, Donald Trump, it looks like your precious ballroom is over.
There is no way around this.
No loopholes here.
The judge does allow that they can finish up projects
so that they don't leave the site unsafe.
Oh, well, sure.
Yeah, of course you have to patch up the site to make it safe.
I mean, what if Christy Nome's husband tripped and fell
and popped his enormous kitty?
Aside from that tiny safety loophole,
the judge was clear, you are not allowed to build the ballroom.
It's over.
Even you can't talk your way into saying that this is somehow a positive for you.
This is positive for us.
I'm allowed that, meaning we are allowed to continue building as necessary to, let's see,
what is that to cover the safety and security of the White House and its ground.
So it says here very carefully, the safety and security have to be protected of the White House grounds.
Well, that's what we're doing because everything's bulletproof glass, et cetera, et cetera, including the ballroom.
The judge said no ballroom, and President Amelia Bedelia took that to mean the judge is begging us to build that ballroom.
By the way, bulletproof, et cetera, et cetera.
What was the et cetera?
It's bulletproof and it's ballistic proof.
The roof is drone proof.
We have secure air handling systems.
We have a hospital and very major medical facilities.
We have bio-defense.
We have bomb shelters.
Okay.
This is intense for a ballroom.
I'd I suggest if the ballroom starts experiencing ballistic assault,
maybe we just cancel the ball.
No worries, if not, exclamation point, hug emoji.
The worst part of all this is that this ballroom isn't even his only DIY project.
He's also starting a new one in Florida.
We're getting our first look at what President Trump's presidential library could look like.
The president posted the video on social media showing renderings of a skyscraper in Miami,
with no surprise Trump's name on it.
Huh, interesting library.
Has Donald Trump ever seen a library before?
Because this just looks like one of his hotels, but it's his library, right?
Not a hotel.
It's going to be most likely a hotel.
It could be office, but it's most likely going to be a hotel.
What a fitting monument to President Trump, a hotel parading as a presidential library, where
you can honor his legacy by cheating on your wife in the Ashley Madison suite.
All the suites are Ashley Madison.
I know Trump doesn't do anything in the traditional way, whether it's governing or standing,
but classic presidential library or museum?
I don't believe in building libraries or museums.
Reminder, this is him announcing that he is building a library and museum.
And he's like, I don't trust museums.
All the little guys come to life at night and make you learn history.
Honestly, honestly, this sounds like one of the worst ideas Trump has ever had,
which is not very easy.
I mean, I can't think of a single good thing about this building.
I wouldn't start until I'm out of office.
Wait, you wouldn't start until you're out of office.
office? Mr. President, we need this library that is most less. Yes, we are losing your administration,
but we are gaining so much more in hotel brary. No worries if not, fingers crossed emoji.
But the Trump Hotel is still just a twinkle in Trump's eye. For now, his main focus is on that
ballroom if he can overcome all the legal obstacles. But good news, help may be on the way.
Has this ever happened to you?
You smashed up the east wing of a historic building and started building a ballroom
no one asked for because you really like having balls and you need a ballroom to room your ball?
Then you need ball and ball law.
I dedicated my career to ballroom law.
That was a mistake.
But don't let my poor career choices stop you from getting justice.
This is America.
You have the right to demolish anything you want and build a ballroom in its place.
Who's to say the Statue of Liberty shouldn't be the ballroom.

When a news story falls through the cracks,
Lewis Black catches it for a segment we call Back in Black.
Since the day,
dawn of time, humans have wondered what the future holds. Will I get rich? Will I live long?
Will they ever bring back Milf Manor? These questions have stumped our greatest profits.
But now, thanks to the internet, we don't have to worry about the future. We can just bet on it.
Now to an industry skyrocketing and popularity, prediction markets. The online platforms like
Kalshi and Polly Market are where people bet money on the outcome of future events.
You can bet on sports, you can bet on world events, you can bet on like what song will be on the
charts next week.
Wow.
Can I bet on how many times I'm going to swear during this segment?
I bet it's over 10 because this shit is crazy, bitch.
And that's three.
That's three right there.
Trust me, bet the over.
Of course, I remember a simpler time when gambling meant going to the racetrack and blowing
your kids college fund on a tip from a guy who seemed Italian.
Back then, there were only three things you could bet on.
Sports, dice, and unprotected sex.
You could lose the last one two ways, an STD or CHIED.
or child support.
I can't count how many times I woke up in someone's bed like,
come on, clemedia.
Thanks to prediction markets, you can now bet on basically anything.
And I mean anything.
You can bet on, or Kalshi says, invest in, nearly 3,500 markets on the company's platform.
Things like Oscars, who's going to be the next Federal Reserve Chair.
How many tweets?
Elon Musk send in a week.
Who the next James Bond will be?
Who will be a bridesmaid at Taylor Swift's wedding?
Oh, Christ.
That's the stupidest bet I've ever heard.
Any real Swift he knows Taylor's going to have a small private service without bridesmaids.
Next time, try listening to the lyrics of her 2010 hit speak now, you f***, idiots.
And that's for...
Now, all of this frivolous game...
might have you hoping that the world is ending.
And I have good news.
You can bet on that too.
According to Polly Market, the odds of Jesus returning this year is 4%.
Jesus Christ!
A 4% chance!
That means, and this is true, Jesus returning has four times better odds than the Jets
winning the Super Bowl.
And if that's not bad enough, people put Jesus returning at 4%
and Jeffrey Epstein coming back alive at 5%.
That's right.
It's neck and neck between one of history's greatest monsters and Jeffrey Epstein.
I guess if I knew it, we all knew it.
We're not idiots.
We write the stuff.
We put it out there.
We hope for the best.
I knew this shit was going to hit us.
Son of a bitch, and that doesn't count toward my number.
I guess if Jesus is...
The joke, to be honest, is about Jeffrey Epstein.
Son of a bitch, I hate to have to explain this stuff,
but I don't want to go to jail.
Okay, sorry, that was a little extreme.
I guess if Jesus is coming back,
I'm going to need the cash to bribe my money.
way into heaven. Hey, St. Peter, I know you don't have room for a blasphemous Jew,
but what about my friend Ben Franklin? Now, if you're worried about people losing all their
money gambling, don't worry. A lot of these assholes are cheating. Massive bets on Trump's
war with Iran raising questions of insider trading on the prediction market platform
polymarket. Hundreds of accounts placed wagers correctly predicting a U.S. strike on
Iran before that strike was publicly known.
Among them, an account trading under the username Maga My Man made nearly a million dollars
since the war started.
Great job, Maga, my man.
I don't know who you are, but I'll keep an eye out for a Rolls-Royce with a don't tread on me
flag.
But for all I know, you could be Don Jr., who is an advisor to both Kalshi and Polly Market.
What the
could he possibly
advised them on?
Where to drop his large bag
of cash? Don't worry
Kalsi. He'll be awake for the next
48 hours, so the
timing is flexible.
But hey, you don't have
to be a member of Trump's family to make
money on his decisions. Any
Bartlett can do it.
Will Trump say low IQ
this week?
Let me tell you.
Before you've been asking, she's a very low- IQ preparation.
Yes.
Wow.
Wow.
That asshole won $100,000 predicting what the president is going to say next.
Trump only says like three .
He's like a big-mouthed billy bass that hates Mexicans.
It's not rocket science.
Suckers.
Now, I've seen.
worn ten times in this segment, which means if I say one more swear word, everyone who listened
to me earlier is going to make a killing.
But I'll let you in on a little secret.
I bet everything on me swearing less than that and took all your money.
Ha ha ha.
Oh, better luck next time, assholes.

OBGYN, founder of the Paws Life,
an author of the forthcoming book, The New Perimenopause.
Please welcome Dr. Mary Claire Haver.
We are so happy to have you here.
So happy to be here.
Thank you. This is, thank you for writing this book.
I think this is going to be such an incredible guide for so many women
who are going to be so grateful for you.
an evidence-based guide to surviving the zone of chaos.
Exactly.
The zone of chaos is also what I call my bikini line.
As you should.
When I'm a little overdue for a wax.
So many people have heard about the stage of menopause,
but not a lot of people have heard about the perimenopause stage.
Right.
Walk us through what perimenopause is.
She asks like she doesn't know.
Didn't you ask?
So medically we define perimenopause as simply,
the transition from normal regular menstrual cycles to full menopause. But it's a whole lot more
than that. And perimenopause begins actually in the brain. So females, we're going to get a little
sciencey here. Go for it. Females are born with all of our egg supply. So at birth, we have one to two
million eggs. By the time we're 30, we're down to about 10% of that original egg supply. And by the time
we're 40, we're down to 3%. And full menopause is, you're out of eggs. That's it. So,
the reason why we ovulate is because we have signals coming from the brain when estrogen levels naturally get low that tell the ovary, okay, let's ovulate this month. And so for a healthy woman at like 28, pretend. You know on day 12. Thanks for guessing my age. Don't Google it. So you're going to do this on day four, this on day 12. You're going to ovulate on day 14, on and on and on. It's just this beautiful, predictable cycle that looks like an EKG month after month after month. Then we reach a critical egg threshold level where the signals from.
the brain stop working as well because there's not enough eggs to respond.
So the brain starts going crazy, trying to force our ovaries to get the hormones out.
And so what used to look like this beautiful pattern, now I take spaghetti, I throw it at the wall,
and this is the next seven years of your life.
Oh, God, that sounds terrible.
With this administration.
Oh, God, help us.
I'm sorry.
I just talked to women.
So, hey, guys.
Yes, there's a lot of...
Don't worry, they put the men in perimenopause so that you would listen to.
So you are included in this conversation.
One of my favorite things in this book is that you have comments and stories from actual women who have gone through this.
One woman wrote, this is like puberty with a vengeance.
My question is, why does God hate women?
You know, this is a normal natural transition that 100% of us, if we're lucky to
to live that long, we'll go through.
And the reason why I wrote the book is so many women are blindsided by the symptoms,
and they shouldn't be.
Like, we don't go through puberty without someone in our family and our lives guiding us
through this is going to happen.
You're going to grow taller, hair's going to grow in weird places,
and you're going to just start bleeding everywhere once a month.
Right.
You know, like, you get a heads up about that, right?
Yeah.
And so now we're going through perimenopause, like, as reverse Blue Lagoon.
I'm dating myself.
Right.
You know, we're all Brook Shields in the water, and, like, no one is guiding us through it.
And so women are getting blindsided.
We see, you know, mental health disorders
increase 40% across the transition.
We see women quitting their jobs.
We see, you know, long-term relationships coming under strain.
And it doesn't have to be this way.
We have lots of tools to help guide you through this zone of chaos
until you get out on the other side.
So one of the things that I found so interesting,
the way that you explain it,
because I felt it on the other side as a patient,
but never understood why, is this the evidence to practice gap.
in the medical world.
Yes.
Explain what that is.
So there is about a 17-year-old, a 17-year gap from when a study comes out that is going
to change the way we practice medicine before it is actually assimilated into clinical practice.
17 years.
17 years.
So this could be medication for a heart attack.
This could be, you know, menopause information.
It is 17 years.
Now, something about the Internet, which has become the women's water cooler, it's how we share
medical information now is speeding that up.
We are getting, lay people are getting access,
clinicians are getting more access,
because we can now go online and search the studies ourselves.
So I think that is speeding up.
But if I wait 17 years for this study that I read
and then try to wait for the guidelines to change
and then, you know, to go to a medical conference
and then they talk about it and then I start trying it,
I'm gonna have a patient like lose her entire perimenopause.
Right, right.
And the ability to get her treated.
Well, and you bring up the internet,
which I'm grateful that.
that so many more women are talking about it,
you're leaving the charge.
It's actually how we met on social media
because I was a patient.
Where I find all my new friends.
Is it my DMs?
Same.
Just slide into those DMs.
Doctors all over the place.
But that was happening to me.
And I love my doctors, but I was experiencing symptoms
that I thought were hormonal.
And I had a doctor ready to just write a prescription
for Lexapro and send me on my way.
And I am all for antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds,
if needed.
but I was feeling like this was,
I didn't even get to have the hormonal conversation.
Right.
That's a problem, help.
Because in medical school, so I'm gonna date myself,
I was in medical school from 94 to 98.
We had one one hour lecture on menopause,
nothing on perimenopause, okay?
Then I graduate and from 98 to 2002,
I'm in my OBGYN residency program,
which was amazing and I learned so many important things.
You know, we're surgeons, we're obstetricians,
we're gynecologists, we do so much.
We did not have a menopause clinic,
a perimenopause clinic, all I learned about perimenopause
was how to pronounce it.
And so nothing about the zone of chaos.
Like that, it just wasn't, we didn't, there was no treatment.
There's never been a single, large-scale study
on the treatment of perimenopause.
And so now it's kind of consensus opinion.
Thank God for the menopausee, my friends in the menopause world,
all the menopause certification, there's now a menopause society.
So we're getting there, but, you know,
it's really unreasonable for you to think you can go
to your great OBGYN or your family medicine or interstate
If they haven't sought training outside of the residency program, most likely, they're not going to be able to connect the dots between hormone changes and brain fog.
Hormone changes and sleep disruption.
Hormone changes and mental health changes, which is really the first signs of perimenopause in the brain.
Not your periods, not your hot flashes.
Those are late perimenopause.
That's the end.
Really the first things that our patients are seeing and I see the nods going on in the audience is I'm not sleeping.
I'm struggling at my job.
I'm having executive dysfunction like ADHD type symptoms.
And I'm either anxious, ragey, or depressed.
Or all three.
Oh.
Talk about potential solutions.
So we've all heard about hormone replacement therapy.
It was good.
Then it was bad.
Now it might be good again.
There was a study that came out.
It's a pendulum.
So there was a landmark study.
It was pretty exciting that finally we were going to study women out.
outside of reproduction.
It was really, I was very excited about the study.
And it was to see if hormone therapy would actually decrease the rate of heart disease, right?
We thought it would because of anecdotal evidence and observational studies, but we need
randomized control studies to say this medicine actually does this.
So it had, you know, tens of thousands of patients enrolled.
But the average age of the patient was a lot older than average age of menopause.
It was 63 because they were trying to see, is she going to have a heart attack or not?
Right.
with HRT, is it gonna make it better or not make it better
or make it worse, potentially?
So when the first initial rolling out of the studies came,
they thought they saw a potential increase,
it wasn't statistically significant, of breast cancer,
but they led with a press conference
where most of the people on the paper
weren't allowed to attend, and it was this very dramatic,
estrogen causes breast cancer,
and like that was the shot heard around the world.
It was the number one medical news story of 2002.
I remember sitting in my residency hearing
this and it dream we were recommending hormone therapy to almost everyone right who was a good
candidate and all of a sudden it was like stop you might give her cancer and it was so hard to get that
genie back in the bottle it's taken 23 years for us to really reanalyze the data and say actually
this is really safe for the vast majority of patients we can start in peri menopause we can we can
decrease her risk of heart attacks will definitely protect her bones and it is the gold standard
treatment for hot flashes oh and this just you just got
the black box warning.
Yes. So what came with that study was this crazy scary black box warning that was,
you open up your medication and there's a big box in black that says this medicine basically
can kill you. Okay. And that's not what the study said. And so patients would get their
prescription all excited to go home and get their symptoms relieved, even for vaginal estrogen.
Can I say vaginal on national TV? I mean, he said, so.
This is basic cable. You can say whatever the fuck you want. Okay. Okay. I could say,
it. So yeah, the vaginal estrogen. So several, you know, this has been, we've asked the FDA for
decades to remove this black box warning. It was not warranted for this medication. So finally,
in November, we were able to, the FDA was able to take the warning label down, which has caused
a shortage of estrogen patches. Yes. So now we have a shortage of estrogen patches. So anybody
want to open an estrogen factory? I'll invest. Because it is really hard to find
right now. Oh, we got some hormonal women during an authoritarian regime. Look the
f*** out. Women need their hormones. There's Alzheimer's has affected both of our families.
Talk about the connection, the potential connection between Alzheimer's and perimenopause.
So two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients are female. So there's a huge, much higher risk for women
versus men. Did you guys know that? Yeah. So two-thirds. And most of it is not genetic, right?
98% of Alzheimer's is a non-genetic component. You don't have that APO-E4 gene. And so when we look at the
risks, it's definitely something about being female, like losing your hormones. And then, of course,
there's lots of lifestyle things as well. What we know about hormone therapy is we have to,
no one's doing new studies on hormone therapy, sadly, so we have to extrapolate from the older
studies, it doesn't appear to be harmful. So going on hormone therapy is not going to increase
your risk of developing Alzheimer's. What we think is that you're going to have secondary benefit
in lowering inflammation, living healthier, having stronger bones, potentially less heart disease.
That will also help keep your brain healthier. But, you know, women are of centuries of research
here, does he? So I go to PubMed, which is where I look up research articles, right? And I type in
the word pregnancy. One point two million articles today.
Important. We need healthy pregnancies. I love being an obstetrician when I used to do it.
My 50th birthday president was stopped delivering babies to myself because if they didn't come at 3 a.m., I'd still be doing it.
Congratulations.
So, yeah. And I type in the word menopause, and we have about 99,000, 12 to 1. So that's brainpower. That's NIH funding.
That is academic institutions. That is what we're focusing on in women's health. If I type in the word perimenopause, 9,000.
Wow.
9,000.
Wow.
So we have a lot of work to do here.
Yeah.
And, you know, this book is a guide to help you get tools, resources, know what questions to ask so that you can go through this transition as healthy as possible.
Yeah.
I get these habits locked in, the lifestyle habits, so that you don't suffer.
My patients, when they come to see me, we put out the fire of menopause, right?
She's not functioning.
She can't sleep.
She's, you know, she's in crisis.
We calm her down, okay?
Then we start looking at the next 30 years.
years. And we say, maybe not with this current administration, but you know, we say, what,
how did your mother age? How did your grandmother age? And I don't have a single patient who wants
to be Brian Johnson, God bless him, and live to 120. You know, any of you ladies want to live
to 120? No, right? And so. Not in this economy. Who can afford it? Right. Who can afford it?
They don't want to be a burden on their children. They want the years they have to be full years
without loss of independence.
And what we're both dealing with in our family
is having women in our family
who are suffering from dementia due to Alzheimer's
that maybe had some choices.
You know, we could have limited this or delayed it.
You know, and I want that,
I don't want this to be the inevitable for my children.
So for my two daughters.
So we start making the plans in that visit
after we get the hot flashes stopped
and her sleeping and her feel like she's got her life back.
How much fiber are you getting?
What kind of exercise are you doing?
How's your stress? Are you in therapy? You know? And so all the tools that she needs so that she can live her best life for as long as possible.
So it feels like a lot of this kind of falls on the shoulders of women themselves to take it, take it upon themselves, get educated, know their bodies, go in and have conversations with their doctors.
What advice would you give them to best advocate for themselves?
So educate yourself as much as possible. Try to find someone who's menopause certificate.
you can go to menopause.org, order our website at the pauselife.com.
We have a list of providers who have been recommended by thousands of our followers,
and they give a little testimonial, and we organize them by sitting in state.
And the menopause society has a list of certified providers on their website.
That's all over the United States and in Canada.
So there are resources available.
But just plan.
It's not a well-woman visit.
That's the other thing.
So if you're going to use insurance, this is not your well-woman exam.
Your well-woman exam is to get your breast exam, your pap smear, and all the basics.
This is a separate visit for you to really have the time, not in stirrups, so that you can discuss your...
Don't bring my stirrups, got it.
Got it.
Yeah, so that you can get the most out of your visit and hopefully have someone educated enough to connect the dots and help you.
Excellent advice.
Do men experience perimenopause?
Is that like buying a corvette?
Is that?
So women's hormones fall off a cliff.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So we go through chaos and then it falls.
And then men's have a slow, gentle decline.
They're so gentle.
They need to be gentle with them.
That makes sense.
What is your hope that women take away from this wonderful night?
You know, this is an inevitable and very normal transition.
It happens to 100% of us if we're lucky to live long enough.
But you should never suffer through it, ever.
There should be zero suffering and that you come out of it on the other end.
I'm 57 years old.
I'm fully menopausal and I am living my best life.
Yes.
That's for everyone.
Here's to living our best lives.
Cheers.
Yes, cheers.
Living our best lives.
In the street, number 10's, also number 10's front door,
drawing that press conference when Larry the cat, been around here for a long time,
was filmed by my colleague Steve, the cameraman,
catching a mouse and killing it and eating it.
It's the first time I've ever seen Larry the Cat do anything useful in Downing Street.
He normally appears to pose for photographs, but now finally he's catching a mouse.
