Mike Lindell Dropped by Lawyers: He's BROKE! Trump as House Speaker?! – News Dump
it has been a bad week for bad people Trump is on trial and keeps accidentally admitting to fraud Kevin McCarthy became the first Speaker of the House to be ousted in American history bye-bye Elon Musk has been hit with two massive lawsuits while continuing to destroy his own social media platform ticket scalpers are finally seeing some well overdue consequences and so much more but you know who we haven’t checked in on at least this month that’s right my pillow CEO Mike Lindell oh good a man who has not only lost his mind he’s also apparently
lost his entire pillow fortune in his futile attempt to somehow prove that the 2020 presidential election was stolen despite multiple investigations concluding that there is no evidence of widespread roor fraud Mike buddy it is 2023 you got to let this one go people have already lost lawsuits over this it’s time to let it go you got a a whole new election coming up for you to uh claim was stolen yeah if he was a real uh business brain he would be hyping up the next stolen election yeah because it hasn’t happened yet you can’t prove
that it didn’t happen the problem with guys like mandale they have one good idea yeah a pillow so yeah looks like the introduction of
making the rounds for quite a while now and anyone with a functioning brain could tell that his pivot into debunked conspiracies probably would not be great for his brand but the latest news regarding lindell’s finances comes directly from the people who were supposed to be getting paid to defend him in multiple defamation lawsuits it be his own lawyers that’s right or former lawyers I guess at this point yep here’s NBC News the attorneys defending Mike Lindell and his business against defamation claims from voting machine companies are seeking to sever ties with the my pillow guy
over millions of dollars in unpaid legal fees in a court filing Thursday the law firm Parker Daniels kibart LLC said Lindell and my pillow are months behind on their legal bills in three defamation cases and they can no longer afford to represent him quote at this time fendants are in aers by millions of dollars to pdk the filing said pdk is a small litigation and trial firm in Minneapolis Minnesota and cannot afford to finance defendants defense in the litigations should have read it in the voice I didn’t know it was a local firm oh yeah
we can’t afford to keep doing this we’re just a couple of local lawyers I I don’t I don’t know what any of this business is I’m trying to just make a living for my family here uh so the firm said that if it was forced to continue providing legal servic to Lindell the future fees and costs will amount to millions of dollars in addition to the millions of dollars already owed Lindell Lindell on Thursday praised his lawyers as Brave and courageous and said he would gladly keep paying them if he wasn’t broke that’s just the
thing we’ve lost everything every dime he told NBC News in a phone interview all of it is gone Lindell said his company has faced Financial challenges amid the lawsuits and sustained bad publicity to the point that he can no longer take out any loans they took away my borrowing because of all you guys in the media Lindell said adding that he’d been Gant over his comments on the 2020 election asked if he planned to represent himself or hire new lawyers Lindell said it was too soon to tell oh baby you got to do it Mike
no one can tell your story better than you yourself bring the cameras in the courtroom right now defend yourself Mike obviously these lawyers they’re all a bunch of crooks yeah he we someone needs to feed him the idea that live televising this court case with him representing himself is the only way he’s going to get out of yeah you uh you you’re not just in the court of the law you’re in the court of the public opinion and everyone loves Mike Lindell and he might he might T he might scare the BFFs a little bit
with all the desk banging that he does but yeah but you know what he might not have uh formal legal training but what he does have is endurance he can just he can just filibuster this trial until they’re like fine get out it’s uh you know it’s it’s rare to see someone commit to the bit this hard it’s pretty much Mike Lindell and Rudy Giuliani who is also uh facing lawsuits for not paying any of his legal Representatives yeah I never checked in on the Mike Lindell the my pillow fire sale where they were just
selling like all their chairs and like coffee makers and uh well there’s also a uh uh you according to screenshots that people have posted on Twitter he’s doing a massive sale on the actual product right now you can get my pillows up to 80% off please please someone get these pillows i’ I’d love to Mike I’m good on pillows though yes it’s just not a product I’m buying a lot of I I have them and what they should do when they reclaim all of his businesses is just give all of these pillows to homeless people
or make a big like a giant ball pit but full of my pillows and I can jump into it and be like filthy anyway they also add that in a March interview with Newsweek Lindell said he’d been forced to borrow $10 million to pay for his legal fees in April an arbitration panel ordered Lindell to pay $5 million for losing his prove Mike wrong 2020 election challenge in which participants were asked to find proof that his cyber data was not valid data from the November 2020 election as he’ contended it was software developer Robert zidan
won the challenge but Lindell refused to pay Lindell is now challenging the arbitration panel’s ruling on Thursday Lindell told NBC that despite the financial strains on him and his company he plans to keep pushing his stolen election claims geez quote I will never stop trying to secure our elections he said keep in mind he is facing billions of dollars in Damages while refusing to pay out $5 million to someone who literally proved Mike wrong and previously borrowing $10 million just to pay legal fees safe to say this guy’s cooked yeah it’s only a matter of
time he is in the pot and the water’s boiling uhuh and here’s a clip for you because as we are all aware Mike Lindell he’ll take any media appearance he can get just say when just say when and where he’s there all the lawyers we have for my pillow and uh myself in the lawsuits with the lawfare with dominion and smartmatic they uh they just filed in federal court that uh to drop uh to drop us as our attorneys and um and this comes from uh the laware basically and from the media the attacks on
my pillow what American Express did uh T take just devastating our credit and we I we have to I can’t pay the lawyers we can’t pay there’s no money left to pay them uh yeah well I’m surprised that Frank truth or whatever the hell Frank Frank social Frank social isn’t uh Frank speech Frank speech isn’t floating this entire lwuit because obviously he’s raking it in from all the ad dollars and subscriptions over on Frank’s speach it’s a mystery I guess but let’s move on to a story that affected all Americans this week even some you
wouldn’t expect because on Wednesday of this week a nationwide text message was sent out to every phone in the country as part of a test of our national wireless emergency alert system it probably goes without saying why this type of test is important but that didn’t stop conspiracy theorists from going absolutely insane in the leadup to this test well hey look turns out they were right I’m a Zombie now yeah that’s true I am a woke vaccine Warrior M they claimed in some case that this test was going to either activate sleeper agents or like
Elliot said turned vaccinated people into zombies it would inject the woke mind virus directly into your brain yeah it triggers all of the ingredients that are included in the jab and uh there were there were more crackpot theories but uh people were instructed to wrap their phones in tinfoil turn off all of their electronic devices and spread the word of this upcoming apocalypse which allegedly even led to at least one landlord notifying tenants that they would be shutting down all of the power in their units in order to avoid this attack really a landlord I
you know just the smartest people on the face of the Earth landlords I’m surprised I’m shocked that a landlord would fall for something this just IDI the screenshots of the text message between the landlord and uh the renter are very long and unhinged M wow even landlords they’ve they’ve landlords have fallen MH anyway as you’re all probably aware by now the alert was sent out and aside from being a bit startled by the sudden loud noise coming from your phone speaker or in my case uh multiple loud noises because uh I guess because I set
my phone’s system language to English and Spanish so I got multiple alerts I got the English one and I got the Spanish one it was a wild two minutes um but yeah it really seemed as though there was there was no adverse side effects at least none that have been detected yet no one turned into zombies no one exploded because of something the government injected into them no chaos no nothing however not nothing not nothing Elliott well okay so there there were some unforeseen consequences as a result of this test for one very specific group
group of people um the Amish who typically reject most forms of modern technology as you know we should say that the modern Amish do Embrace some modern technology they they cheat a little bit but it’s still wild that this Nationwide text alert may have inadvertently outed a bunch of Amish people for secretly owning cell phones like like prisoners in a federal penitentiary who I I I wonder if there were any of those who got in trouble wo yeah your butthole you you’re going to want to turn that butthole phone off yeah that would be a
thing where the the prison guards if they even cared or thought far enough ahead to realize that this was going to happen uh would have been able to find this kind of stuff yeah yeah so take this with a grain of salt because the source is just one ex Amish Creator but then again how else would this news make its way out of Amish Country we don’t know here’s Dex serto with more on this in most if not all Amish communities across the United States its members cannot have modern technology like cars computers and cell
phones but what happens if you smuggle in a cell phone and the US decides to send a nationwide emergency alert test without the ability to find out about it ahead of time tick tocker and ex Amish church member Eli Yoder revealed on October 4th 2023 that the Nationwide test that same day led to several members of the community getting shunned he said several Amish men got shunned by the Amish church for having smartphones in their pocket when the emergency alert system went off Eli went on to explain that on the day of the e as
test in the US three of them replied to Eli stating that they would have to lay low for a while due to getting caught with the device one guy said the elders were coming in his driveway and they were there to speak with him about something they’ heard about him that he might have to get shunned right as that was going on the alert went off and it was in his pocket Yoda explained um I the my only knowledge my only firsthand knowledge with this is that I I do I can confirm that Yoder is
an Amish last name it’s the big restaurant in my hometown where which is the place where all of the Amish go for R Rumspringa and a lot of them have uh put down Roots there there’s a certain part of town where you can’t drive more than like 15 miles an hour and everyone’s on buggies and tricycles so the Yoder name Yoder it’s legit but if this text would have affected anyone it would have been me because I got the newest jab and the flu shot yeah in one go fresh 5G fresh microchip and I I
got that the day a literally 24 hours before this text out and I’m feeling fine in fact I had no side effects from getting both shots just the you know the soreness in the arm but pretty cool well we’ll see about that Ricky we’ll see about that ja get your Jabs I I’m on the side of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift me Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift we all say get your Jabs oh they’ve gone woke that is what a lot of the right-wing NFL enjoyers are mad about is that uh this is all some
big scop to get people to do the vaccine because introducing Taylor Swift and getting everyone hyped up for a guy who uh was just in an ad campaign about the benefits of getting vaccinated I thought all the right Wingers like stopped watching football years ago or like switch switched to college football but I guess not I guess some of them want to torch themselves yeah anyway our next story should provide uh almost everyone watching with a much needed dose of shot INF frea because it has to do with ticket scalpers getting completely hung out to
dry and losing hundreds and in some cases thousands of dollars by betting on the the wrong concerts and falling for ticket masters ticket buying experience which uses emotional manipulation to trick people into thinking that they will absolutely miss out on concert tickets if they don’t pay whatever the hell the site initially offers a recent report from 404 media which by the way you should be following them and reading their coverage of everything because uh We’ve mentioned this before but it’s a new site that was launched by former staff members of vice’s motherboard yeah anyways a
recent article of theirs dives into this massive failure on the part part of scalpers trying to make easy money off a series of Travis Scott concerts full articles are always linked below but here you go check StubHub right now and you can find thousands of tickets to sold out shows in many cities for between $10 and $20 far below the face value for Travis Scott’s cheapest tickets at $61.50 before fees when they first went on sale in ticket resaler lingo Scott’s tour is a bloodbath the results of overzealous Brokers and noobs quote over buying tickets
based on a miscalculate of the likely value of his tickets on the secondary Market many Brokers now stand to lose a lot of money on Scott’s shows that’s shame it’s too bad unfortunate they go on to talk about um Buyers Clubs which is where people in members only groups indicate items that are likely to balloon in value and instruct those users to jump on opportunities like this saying at least part of this buying frenzy was fueled by a bet placed by PFS Buyers Club PFS told its members to buy as many many tickets to Scott’s
shows as possible according to emails viewed by 404 media PFS itself stands to lose more than $1 million on Travis Scott alone when all is said and done it told its members good yes good you MH stop it hopefully they have to now one can hope the reporting continues members of the club were promised by PFS that they would be reimbursed for any tickets they bought and would additionally get a $25 per ticket commission hundreds of members has bought thousands of tickets most of which are now selling for Far Below Face Value the author spoke
to people who are currently floating tens of thousands of dollars on their credit cards for Travis Scott tickets they have no idea what to do with the article goes into further detail about these buying clubs again check the description for links to the full story but let’s take a look at some quotes from people who thought they could make a quick book Anthony agrate a member of PFS told me that the unlimited nature of the Travis Scott deal was enticing to him the fact they said you could buy an unlimited number of tickets for any
tour dates any City and all of them are $25 commission I thought well that sounds pretty good agrate told me he bought 123 tickets on seven credit cards for more than $336,000 idiot stupid uh another member Haron vaugh said the following I went into the waiting room for the sales in Oakland and Phoenix and there was 2,000 people waiting in Dallas the line was 5,000 people deep I thought there is actual real demand for this why not just try to buy them and resell them myself I went like full Mania with it later that night
Scott announced that he was going to be adding shows in specific cities thereby doubling the number of available tickets in some markets quote however much demand was there for one gig was cut in half essentially Von said I’m hoping there will be a natural damn disaster and they’ll have to refund everyone maybe Travis gets sick or something V is now stuck with a bunch of tickets he is probably going to take huge losses on tickets for some shows he bought are selling on StubHub for $10 yeah and I have started noticing with a lot of
bands I like uh especially for New York and Chicago shows they’ll block out an entire like week week and a half they’ll start with just like one or two shows and then they’ll just keep adding them and they well look at all this demand and they do eventually hit a point we’re like okay we finally we finally booked a show that didn’t immediately sell out so like we’re good and like anyone who bought tickets uh to the first couple shows thinking they could flip those is because everyone who actually planned to attend the show can
do so now yeah this is hilariously up in so many ways I mean yes it’s funny that these people are getting hung out the dry by attempting to artificially drive up the price of concert tickets and hopefully it dissuades others from doing similar things in the future but it’s just so perfectly ironic that because of their greed they actually created an inflated sense of demand for these concerts causing Travis Scott and his team to add more shows to the tour out of what they perceived as necessity because look these tickets they’re selling like crazy people
are buying 100 tickets a grip wow I’m sure he’ll be fun add some I know I know but I’m just saying it is funny that like in their perception the demand is all there but it’s not really I mean it is C people will buy the tickets for $10 yeah I mean so this is great for the remaining amount of Travis Scott fans yeah it’s good for the fans good for Travis Scott it’s terrible for the scalpers which good yeah so they added more shows and shows that have cratered the price of the previous shows
ruined the bank accounts of scalpers and um either will’ll have Travis Scott performing to half empty Arenas or actually um performing to people who want to see him perform and can afford decently priced tickets how about that yeah that’s the one bit of good news is that you if you are a Travis Scott fan you got the deal of a Lifetime right now I don’t know he’s gonna do any of that devil I don’t know uh and we should also point out that if it wasn’t obvious Ticket Master is probably loving this because they just
get all the fees attached to every sale of each ticket either way they win yes the game the game is fixed that’s right as Idris Elba would say mhm anyway we do have more news coming up for you in just a second including some updates to some stories that we’ve been covering this week but first we have to thank today’s sponsor factor for not forgetting about us while the show was on sickly yes thanks factor with the busy fall season already in swing you might be looking for wholesome convenient meals for jam-packed days Factor America’s

again altered the Twitter timeline despite everyone praying that he not alter it further I wish he would alter the timeline in a different way his lifetime line like going back in time and uh I don’t know doing something well in an incredibly stupid move that is only rivaled by every other decision that he’s made mosque has chosen to remove headlines from articles that are posted on Twitter opting instead to Simply show a thumbnail in their place and thumbnails for news articles they’re not always created with this type of interaction in mind and some are just
stock images meant to Loosely represent what the article is about or who’s involved yeah so now these thumbnails are all you get when someone tweets a link to an article and because of the way that they look it’s also confusing whether not anything is an article or just an image yeah yeah I I saw stuff today where I was like oh I think this is an article and I clicked it and it was literally just a picture well there’s a simple fix for this all the news sites have to Simply make thumbnails like ours completely
change what they do make thumbnails like that that one fake one Uber driver sucked me off yeah start doing add Ben Shapiro to that today it was great um but yes that’s what they’ll have to do the return of clickbait thumbnails is quickly approaching to Twitter and this will create a lot of jobs because the AI can’t I don’t think the AI can do that yet that’s still a human job so thanks Elon Musk is that what you’re saying so yeah it truly is one of the dumbest moves he’s done so far removing text from
a text based platform in favor of something that is confusing and easily abused as proven by the countless examples that flooded the platform once this new update went into effect where people were just making up fake headlines that matched real thumbnails that either linked to stories which had nothing to do with the Tweet or weren’t actually clickable at all uh Juniper one of the best posters out there had a few bangers like the following new Scoop from me Andy no found passed out in the gutter after a massive dildo was thrown at his head breaking
Tim P has been arrested for double homicide new scoop evidence showing Elon Musk is a pedophile mounting quickly H concerning very concerning there were also countless posts indic that Elon Musk had actually died with the cause of death varying wildly with some indicating that he had passed during autoerotic asfixiation uh with more on the most recent Twitter update here’s the Verge X formerly Twitter is no longer showing headlines on articles shared on the platform instead X is only showing the article’s lead image and the domain it will link you to this change while very annoying
doesn’t come as a total surprise Fortune reported in August that this change was in the works and ex-owner Elon Musk confirmed confirmed that the switch over was coming from me directly and would greatly improve the athetics yes he spelled it wrong some Real Genius at work type going on here but uh like most of the other recent changes this update angered everyone and despite getting direct honest feedback he just continued to blame the media yeah and I saw like one theory for it is like by removing the title like that you now scroll past more
tweets and create more views but like well why wouldn’t you just keep the title and get rid of the thumbnail cuz that would shrink the post down even more because of the etics that’s why and again it it defeats what he’s trying to do is convince people to post their entire articles in the Tweet um but what it’s actually doing is probably sending more people off of the platform to figure out what the story that they’re looking at is about yeah maybe it’s just it’s dumb yeah it’s a bad decision it’s a bad decision yeah
uh one tweet in particular from box founder Aaron Levy said this link title change makes Twitter far worse for its primary value prop of getting news quickly hope they undo it uh to which musk himself replied directly saying really Aaron really you actually believe the media wow show me a screenshot of before and after and tell me which one is better actually which like uh like you’re only saying this is bad because the media said no I I’m stating my personal yeah it’s it’s wild he’s just like yeah the only reason anyone hates this is
because the media said so what yeah anyways it’s it’s yeah it’s always everyone else’s fault not elon’s fault but yeah this absolutely it sucks it destroys yet another reason that Twitter became popular in the first place uh you know keeping a breast of the current events literally current events yeah we have no idea if this policy will stick around or if he’ll revert back to the way things were but you know that would mean admitting that his idea was bad so we wouldn’t count on it no he doesn’t do that even when his ideas turn
out to be obviously terrible ideas in hindsight or as they’re happening yeah so that’s cool yeah but on to another update the vacant role of speaker of the house I will be Speaker of the House it really really looks like Donald Trump is going to attempt to fill this position and he’s said as much on his own social media platform truth social in a dizzying amount of posts over the past 48 hours I mean I understand the strategy if he gets that job all it will take is Joe Biden and KLA Harris dying for him
to be president again without even having to do an election someone did point that out uh saying that this creates an incredibly risky scenario all it takes is one or one or two psychos yes he’s got plenty of psychos this is a an incredibly dangerous premise um but here’s a quick sample of one of his posts from the past 48 hours or so Elliot I’m going to let you do the voice okay I am running for president have a 62-point lead over Republican and I’m up on crooked Joe Biden despite the Democrat party’s massive lawfare
weaponization and election interference efforts by four to 11 points but will do whatever is necessary to help with the speaker of the house selection process shortterm until the final selection of a great Republican speaker is made a speaker who will help a new but highly experienced president me make America great again your favorite President hey so in addition to his endless stream of posts Trump has also indicated that he might visit the capital next week oddly enough well would you look at the time the exact time when Republicans are scheduled to pick a new what
the chances wow here’s the Associated Press the pending trip would be Trump’s first to the capital since leaving office and since his supporters attacked the building in a bid to Halt the peaceful transition of power on January 6 2021 Trump has been indicted in both Washington and Georgia over his efforts to overturn the results of the election which he lost to President Joe Biden Trump told Fox News digital he was heading to Washington on Tuesday to meet with Republicans three people familiar with the matter disclosed the talks about visiting the capital to the Associated Press
speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of an official announcement Trump told Fox News digital Thursday that he would accept a short-term role as Speaker for anywhere from 30 to 90 days if another candidate doesn’t have the votes to win and if the pay is good if the pay is consumate I get to smash that gavl yeah sure 30 to 90 days buddy yeah I’m sure once if this happens and you get in there the you’re going to be like all right it’s been 30 days we’ve found a good replacement uh they so I guess they’re
going to do it because you can always count on the dumbest possible thing happening yeah it really seems that way uh quote I have been asked to speak as a unifier because I have so many friends in Congress he told the outlet if they don’t get the vote they have asked me if I would consider taking the speakership until they get somebody longer term because I am running for president among those now pushing Trump for speaker is Georgia representative margorie Taylor green a longtime Trump Ally who didn’t vote to remove McCarthy she posted on X
formerly known as Twitter that she believed he would take the job Nells the Texas Republican who was among the first to promote Trump for the job said he’d been contacted quote by multiple members of Congress willing to support and offer nomination speeches for Donald J Trump to be speaker of the house next week he wrote on X is going to be huge again th this okay I would say this is impossible but I but reality constantly shocks me I don’t know the rules I hear that there’s rules in place to stop this from happening if
you are if you are on trial for a felony there’s like a clear line that says if you’re on on trial for a felony you can’t serve a speaker but look uh a lot of unprecedented things have happened so throw it on the pile great very exciting stuff and finally today some entertainment news Hollywood Hollywood so you remember a few weeks back when America’s sweetheart Drew Barrymore decided to bring her daytime talk show back while the writer strike was still in effect only to then reverse her decision after just everyone justifiably raked her over the
coals just bullied her for a week straight only to then have the entire writer strike come to an end just days after she had burned all of her Goodwill it was quite the timing uh Well turns out the consequences keep piling up for Miss Barrymore because according to the Hollywood Reporter the Drew Barrymore show writers declined to return no I’m good yeah you got to hand it to him that’s uh that’s that’s a bold step all she had to do was wait one week well a lot of people were saying that maybe this her and
the other talk shows that were claiming to come back might have been what what put it over the edge because uh everyone was just like no and then she was she backed down and like okay well I guess we can’t produce content without yeah that was definitely uh yeah that was the mptp dipping their toes in it and getting a taste of like oh okay I guess they’re really serious about this yeah so but uh yeah she kind of kind of ruined it so yeah here’s more from their reporting the Drew Barrymore show is once
again readying its return though a trio of wga writers have chosen not to return to their old gig Barry found herself in hot water last month when she announced that her daytime talk show would make its fourth season debut without its striking writers a week later after Barrymore face backlash and at least a few panicked guest cancellations she revealed that she’d be reversing chors pausing the show’s return until the wga strike concluded continues with the wga strike now over the show is set to come back October 16th and those writers Chelsey white Christina kinyan and
Liz Co have declined an offer to return with it according to sources the production is now interviewing new writers and will be in compliance with the guild as for white Canon and Co all three were visible and vocal in their protest during the show’s initial return to production in mid-september the trio of women who shared the title co-head writer and have been with the series since season 1 could be seen picketing outside of Drew’s Manhattan Studio on multiple days with signs that read honk if you love union labor or Drew’s news strikes on September 11th
which was the Show’s first day back in production they told The Hollywood Reporter that they’d found out Drew was returning not from their boss or colleagues but rather via audience ticket giveaways that had been posted on social media well um it turns out that when you piss off your main writers they might not want to return to this um business relationship yeah I guess so I guess we all learned a lesson in other news regarding Productions absolutely fumbling the godamn bag not only did Comedy Central avoid making the easiest decision possible a decision they’ve had
a year to figure that figure out yes they’ve had so much time and the answer’s right there yeah just give the Daily Show hosting gig to Roy Wood Jr it’s as simple as that he’s been around he’s been on the show for like over a decade now he’s great at his job he he was one of the interim hosts when they were cycling through potential hosts and I watched uh a lot of the uh daily ship I hadn’t watched it in a long time watched a lot of The Daily Show to check out the new
hosts he was far and the best he’s naturally funny yeah he’s a great writer did they give him the job no they didn’t they apparently still haven’t decided who’s going to be filling that role at all which has caused roywood Jr to just say it and leave the show entirely great job everyone with more on this here’s NPR comic Roy Wood Jr says he will not return to his position as a correspondent on comedy Central’s The Daily Show when the show resumes new episodes later this month ending a job he first started eight years ago
the reason since he hasn’t been offered for the job as permanent host of the show would want some time to figure out his next ACT quote I can’t come up with what plan B is while still working with plan a says wood who has decided he doesn’t want to be on The Daily Show as a correspondent waiting for someone else to take the top job the job of correspondent it’s not really one where you can juggle multiple things and I think eight years is a good run so eight years not a full decade but still
very long time a long time and also it was like even like months ago it was like yeah it’s probably between him and Hassan minhaj and then Hassan had uh he had some some very silly silly drama happen to him he’s out of the running all Comics embellished jokes but he did it in a very specific and weird way that called out real human beings for things that they did not do yeah and he did it in that way where it’s like it’s like I’m look I’m up here doing standup but I’m about to tell
you something some real truth some real truths I’m going to make you clap instead of laugh yeah and when you’re doing that that it is a little bit more important to actually tell the truth I’ve been victimized and here are all the people’s names yeah just uh just did not not a good look no um but hey Roy roywood Jr was right there and he was right there and the the Brilliant Minds over at Comedy Central who have squandered every bit of talent on their Network except for South Park uh we’re like nah well good
for him I mean you can only take so much disrespect before you gota get up and go yeah turns out uh everyone uh in all Industries incling entertainment are tired the show canel show I’m honestly shocked it’s still running I don’t know what else they have besides reruns of shows that they’re licensing out and South Park they don’t have Comedy Central has gone down the toilet it’s part of Mt the MTV network is just like it’s a shell of its former self it’s it’s fascinating yeah the and that’s why the South Park guys are getting
a billion dollars because they know they’re worth yeah so yeah it’s it’s wild but uh anyways check out this shirt hey Lavar Burton says butterfly in the sky hi I can fly twice is hi they uh that butterfly has been killed by the Republican party oh so take a look in a book get your T-shirt yeah uh so there was an initiative that’s artist against book bands mve on.org they partnered with Lavar Burton to organize nearly 200 celebrities and creative leaders like us yes to sign an open leaders to sign an open letter condemning these
