big news about the 2024 19 00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:01,461 presidential race. 20 00:01:01,461 --> 00:01:03,129 Someone has stepped forward to run 21 00:01:03,129 --> 00:01:05,331 against Trump for the Republican nomination, 22 00:01:05,331 --> 00:01:07,300 and she's a lady. 23 00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:08,735 Breaking news this morning. 24 00:01:08,735 --> 00:01:12,272 Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is now officially 25 00:01:12,272 --> 00:01:13,640 running for president. 26 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,708 She is the first Republican to challenge 27 00:01:15,708 --> 00:01:17,777 Trump for that nomination. 28 00:01:17,777 --> 00:01:20,380 She obviously served as his ambassador 29 00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:21,748 to the United Nations. 30 00:01:21,748 --> 00:01:25,084 She announced as much just in a video a few moments ago. 31 00:01:25,084 --> 00:01:27,020 You should know this about me. 32 00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:29,055 I don't put up with bullies. 33 00:01:29,055 --> 00:01:31,458 And when you kick back, it hurts them 34 00:01:31,458 --> 00:01:33,426 more if you're wearing heels. 35 00:01:33,426 --> 00:01:38,198 [laughter] 36 00:01:38,198 --> 00:01:39,899 1997 called. 37 00:01:39,899 --> 00:01:42,101 It wants that joke back. 38 00:01:42,101 --> 00:01:43,503 Oh, wait, it just called again. 39 00:01:43,503 --> 00:01:46,372 It wants this joke back. 40 00:01:46,372 --> 00:01:48,007 I actually thought this was a great ad. 41 00:01:48,007 --> 00:01:50,710 And I'm excited to buy whatever pharmaceutical product 42 00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:53,146 that nice lady was selling. 43 00:01:53,146 --> 00:01:55,748 But this is going to be a tough race for Nikki Haley. 44 00:01:55,748 --> 00:01:58,117 Right now, she's polling at just 1%. 45 00:01:58,117 --> 00:02:00,153 And that's pretty bad. 46 00:02:00,153 --> 00:02:03,957 I mean, you know, even Mike Pence is at 2%. 47 00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:09,095 Mike Pence's noose rope is at 5%, which is VP material. 48 00:02:09,095 --> 00:02:13,333 [applause] 49 00:02:13,333 --> 00:02:15,268 But you do get some advantages if you 50 00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:17,170 run against your former boss. 51 00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:19,806 My opponent's economic plan is terrible. 52 00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:21,241 And when he poops in his office, 53 00:02:21,241 --> 00:02:23,042 we all hear him go ow, ow, ow. 54 00:02:23,042 --> 00:02:27,914 [laughter] 55 00:02:27,914 --> 00:02:29,883 I love political satire. 56 00:02:29,883 --> 00:02:31,851 It's really my lane. 57 00:02:31,851 --> 00:02:34,053 Whoever wins this election will be commander 58 00:02:34,053 --> 00:02:35,588 in chief of the US Army. 59 00:02:35,588 --> 00:02:37,957 Although based on how recruiting is going lately, 60 00:02:37,957 --> 00:02:40,460 that's going to be, like, 20 people. 61 00:02:40,460 --> 00:02:43,129 The US Army is trying to recover from its worst 62 00:02:43,129 --> 00:02:44,797 recruiting year in decades. 63 00:02:44,797 --> 00:02:48,001 And officials say those recruiting woes are the result 64 00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:49,469 of traditional hurdles. 65 00:02:49,469 --> 00:02:52,405 Young people don't want to die or get injured. 66 00:02:52,405 --> 00:02:55,041 They don't want to deal with the stress of army life. 67 00:02:55,041 --> 00:02:57,644 And they don't want to put their lives on hold. 68 00:02:57,644 --> 00:02:59,479 But the recruiting obstacles don't 69 00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:02,982 seem to be rooted in concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine 70 00:03:02,982 --> 00:03:07,387 or about wokeness, as some Republicans claim. 71 00:03:07,387 --> 00:03:10,657 Only Republicans would have the freaking lips to blame 72 00:03:10,657 --> 00:03:13,293 the lack of army recruitment on wokeness 73 00:03:13,293 --> 00:03:18,498 and the number one reason that people really like not dying. 74 00:03:18,498 --> 00:03:21,834 These Gen Z kids are just like, why would I go get shot 75 00:03:21,834 --> 00:03:24,103 in the Middle East when I can get shot in the comfort 76 00:03:24,103 --> 00:03:25,104 of my middle school? 77 00:03:25,104 --> 00:03:31,711 [laughter, applause] 78 00:03:31,711 --> 00:03:32,712 I'm

00:03:41,888 Soldiers are still soldiers. 83 00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:44,290 They're not going to be in battle like, I don't 84 00:03:44,290 --> 00:03:46,960 think this is a safe space. 85 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,295 Trigger warning, I'm going to pull my trigger. 86 00:03:49,295 --> 00:03:50,296 I'm-- 87 00:03:50,296 --> 00:03:52,298 [laughter] 88 00:03:52,298 --> 00:03:54,834 But this drop in recruitment is coming at a really 89 00:03:54,834 --> 00:03:56,402 perilous time for America. 90 00:03:56,402 --> 00:04:02,241 If we don't have a strong military, the balloons win. 91 00:04:02,241 --> 00:04:04,310 I think recruitment is done because there are 92 00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:06,212 too many pop star militias. 93 00:04:06,212 --> 00:04:08,448 Young people would rather be in the BTS 94 00:04:08,448 --> 00:04:12,885 army, or the Rihanna navy, or the Phoebe 95 00:04:12,885 --> 00:04:14,854 Bridgers mujahideen. 96 00:04:14,854 --> 00:04:21,160 [laughter, applause] 97 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,495 This is so weird. 98 00:04:22,495 --> 00:04:25,164 Like, why is everyone so obsessed with whether or not 99 00:04:25,164 --> 00:04:27,100 something is going woke? 100 00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,469 Anyway, let's move on to our next story. 101 00:04:29,469 --> 00:04:31,838 What are god's pronouns? 102 00:04:31,838 --> 00:04:35,675 Should god, should our father stop being referred to as he? 103 00:04:35,675 --> 00:04:37,810 The Church of England is considering whether to break 104 00:04:37,810 --> 00:04:40,279 with tradition and use gender neutral terms 105 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,181 for the almighty instead. 106 00:04:42,181 --> 00:04:43,983 Well, joining us now in the studio, 107 00:04:43,983 --> 00:04:46,552 Anglican priest Charlie Bell. 108 00:04:46,552 -->

interesting question? 112 00:04:57,897 --> 00:05:01,334 I think god has bigger things on his mind than pronouns. 113 00:05:01,334 --> 00:05:02,568 I mean, come on. 114 00:05:02,568 --> 00:05:04,003 The Super Bowl just happened. 115 00:05:04,003 --> 00:05:06,906 You think those touchdowns score themselves? 116 00:05:06,906 --> 00:05:09,075 And, really, like, who cares about this? 117 00:05:09,075 --> 00:05:10,743 There are actually people out there who 118 00:05:10,743 --> 00:05:13,346 really need god to be a man. 119 00:05:13,346 --> 00:05:16,482 God is the embodiment of all that is good, and merciful, 120 00:05:16,482 --> 00:05:21,020 and holy, and he definitely likes girls. 121 00:05:21,020 --> 00:05:23,289 And he only created mountains because he's 122 00:05:23,289 --> 00:05:27,927 really into boobs. 123 00:05:27,927 --> 00:05:29,495 It doesn't matter god is fake. 124 00:05:29,495 --> 00:05:32,565 This is like debating whether Bigfoot wears Reeboks. 125 00:05:32,565 --> 00:05:38,371 [laughter, applause] 126 00:05:38,371 --> 00:05:43,209 All right. 127 00:05:43,209 --> 00:05:45,478 And, finally, today is Valentine's Day, 128 00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:47,480 the day when flowers find out which 129 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,083 house they're going to die in. 130 00:05:50,083 --> 00:05:52,719 Seriously, why do we give people roses? 131 00:05:52,719 --> 00:05:55,488 They are already dying the second you cut them. 132 00:05:55,488 --> 00:06:01,160 You're basically giving someone a hospice patient. 133 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,329 Love them while you can. 134 00:06:03,329 --> 00:06:05,498 Just try to keep them hydrated and make sure 135 00:06:05,498 --> 00:06:10,303 they're as comfortable as possible. 136 00:06:10,303 --> 00:06:12,105 But there is a Valentine's surprise 137 00:06:12,105 --> 00:06:13,840 that's even worse than roses-- 138 00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:16,175 stealing people's money. 139 00:06:16,175 --> 00:06:18,244 Well, this

seem sweet, genuine, caring, talking about a future 156 00:06:56,149 --> 00:06:59,152 together a little more quickly than typical relationships, 157 00:06:59,152 --> 00:07:02,255 they could be drawing

another red flag is 164 00:07:15,968 --> 00:07:19,472 if the person has an amazing lifestyle, a perfect job, 165 00:07:19,472 --> 00:07:20,506 gorgeous photos. 166 00:07:20,506 --> 00:07:22,208 Oh, my

00:07:42,628 especially on Valentine's Day. 174 00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:43,796 I know, Sarah. 175 00:07:43,796 --> 00:07:47,133 But every holiday is an opportunity for scams. 176 00:07:47,133 --> 00:07:49,168 Last President's Day, a guy on Facebook 177 00:07:49,168 --> 00:07:51,270 claimed he was Abraham Lincoln and asked me 178 00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:53,739 for money, which was clearly a scam 179 00:07:53,739 --> 00:07:56,776 because I had already just wired the real Abraham 180 00:07:56,776 --> 00:07:59,612 Lincoln $10,000. 181 00:07:59,612 --> 00:08:01,480 There's only one Lincoln,

scams 185 00:08:09,388 --> 00:08:11,424 because I'm especially worried about how 186 00:08:11,424 --> 00:08:12,992 they target the elderly. 187 00:08:12,992 --> 00:08:15,261 Yeah, the elderly are easy targets 188 00:08:15,261 --> 00:08:17,830 because they're so vulnerable and they're so horny. 189 00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:21,267 Honestly, I'm scared for my own loved ones. 190 00:08:21,267 --> 00:08:26,706 That's why I've started catfishing my grandmother. 191 00:08:26,706 --> 00:08:28,975 You're catfishing your own grandmother? 192 00:08:28,975 --> 00:08:31,143 As a preventative measure, yes. 193 00:08:31,143 --> 00:08:34,480 The best way I can protect my 97-year-old grandmother 194 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,017 from being scammed is to scam her myself. 195 00:08:38,017 --> 00:08:40,086 This way, she feels loved and I put 196 00:08:40,086 --> 00:08:41,854 all the money she sends me right 197 00:08:41,854 --> 00:08:43,956 back into her bank account. 198 00:08:43,956 --> 00:08:46,158 It's the same way I stop dogs from eating 199 00:08:46,158 --> 00:08:48,494 discarded chicken bones laying on the street, 200 00:08:48,494 --> 00:08:52,431 by eating them myself. 201
