Cardinal Roger Mahoney was involved in an extensive cover-up to protect molestered priests.
That must have been one elaborate cover-up in order to fool God.
In foreign affairs, Prime Minister Netanyahu won re-election in Israel last week, although not by much.
I imagine his response was, what, being a three-term prime minister isn't enough for you?
I should win by more?
Eh, you're all mashugana.
That's my old Jew, by the way.
Wow.
You do a horrible old Jew.
Seriously?
You can wait.
That is the worst.
You can wait, like, five years, and then I'll probably talk like an old Jew.
But at this point, that's what you get.
Why don't you just do your voice?
Right?
Yeah.
In sports, it's brother versus brother in next Sunday's Har Bowl.
Ray Lewis is convinced that God is on the Raven side.
God, on the other hand, might be too scared of Ray Lewis to tell him he doesn't give a shit about football.
But first, if you follow the news, you know that the big story out of Washington this week is that Beyonce lip-synced the national anthem at Obama's inauguration.
And while reporters...
Dealt with that bombshell, the president laid out his vision for his second term.
This is from CNN.
We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky or happiness for the few.
We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss or a sudden illness or a home swept away in a terrible storm.
The commitments we make to each other, through Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security, these things do not sap our initiative.
They strengthen us.
They do not make us a nation of takers.
They free us to take the risks that make this country great.
So he's specifically using the Republicans' words, obviously on purpose.
Way less conciliatory than four years ago, for sure.
Can't really blame him.
He's been waiting.
It's not freedom and happiness.
For the lucky and few, it's money and caviar.
Without having to be re-elected, I'm surprised he didn't...
Forget Beyonce.
He should have had NWA out there.
Just a whole bunch of Flavor Flav running around in the background with a clock hanging off his neck.
Yeah, boy!
Just scare the shit out of some old Southern Republicans would have been nice.
They are complaining that this is the most liberal inauguration speech.
Now, they would complain anyway, even if he just read the Republican platform.
They would still complain.
But this was a pretty damn liberal speech for an inauguration.
Well, it's unacceptable for someone to express political views that don't belong to other people.
So...
Yes, to some it is.
I understand that it was a liberal-sounding agenda, but here's the thing.
It wasn't anything he didn't run on.
That is true.
So why not...
Aren't you entitled to go, Okay, I put forth these ideas.
You voted for me.
I got elected based on these ideas.
Maybe we should try and put these ideas into, you know, into work.
If he came on and said, like, I want to put, you know, a free abortion in every household.
One abortion for every household.
That would have been like a switch.
Yes, that would have been severely liberal.
I don't even know if I would call that liberal.
It's just strange.
But that would be...
It's the new turkey pot.
A new abortion in every pot?
That's nice.
I'd have laughed and laughed.
That is nice.
So, I mean, well, as much as they didn't like that, he continued on.
He had the gall to talk about equal rights.
This is also from CNN.
For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts.
Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law.
For if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote.
Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity.
First of all, I like how...
I like when he gets preachy and his voice changes a little bit and he gets...
I like that.
Now, did he say he enjoys bathhouses or was that just implied?
That was Travolta's book.
So, what cracks me up about that is that when he said...
When he said our gay brothers and sisters, you know, to be treated like everybody else, big applause.
Then he continues with something about the love that they commit is certainly the same and a slightly more tempered applause.
Like, is that...
Is that gay sex?
Is he talking about gay sex?
Like, there was...
There was...
Gay uncles?
Are those included too?
Or is it just brothers and sisters?
Everybody's got one.
Yeah.
You know, I was fine with that equal rights part until he said women should get the same amount of pay.
And that really is just not an American value.
Well, that's the thing.
It's like, how are some of those things...
I don't know how the thing's in there.
I understand maybe when you go with the immigration reform, when he starts talking about that, there are going to be Republicans that say, well, we view that differently.
But how do you argue or have a problem with, well, women should be paid equal for the same thing?
Well, you can say that since we've had that problem ongoing.
I understand, but I'm saying...
How do you complain?
How can you publicly complain about his statement of equal rights or requesting equal rights?
Logically, you can't.
But you do understand that even if...
As we speak, the Republicans are having conferences talking about how they can better reach and talk to women and minorities.
Yeah.
Because their platform was against that very notion.
It's because they're so stupid they can't figure out just be nice to women and minorities.
Just don't be a dick.
Don't do stuff that is against them and maybe they'll like us.
Yeah, that's the thing that cracks me up is they seem to ignore...
They seem to think that it's just a message.
They think it's a messaging problem.
They go, well, we're just not getting our message across.
And you're like, well, no, the problem is you believe that they are either not equal or you want to kick these other people out of the country.
So I don't care how you get that message across.
They're not going to like it.
Right.
But if you thought equal rights and immigration reform were going to piss people off on the right, then he brought up climate change.
We will respond to the threat of climate change knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations.
Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and more powerful storms.
The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult.
But America cannot resist this transition.
We must lead it.
They hated that climate change.
As we know, Republicans don't believe in climate change.
And don't want to commit any resources until we know for sure we're ruining the planet.
Well, he did snark to that piece.
Sometimes you might ignore, you know, that science thing.
Come on, guy.
You heard of science?
When smart people talk.
I mean, the whole speech was somewhat liberal.
But like you were saying earlier, Drew, is Mitch McConnell says, you know, what their reaction was.
They had a problem with the whole speech.
And he's saying, well, this is not going to bring us together.
And what you said earlier is this guy won.
Obama won on running on certain platforms.
His job is now not to appease the losing side.
Well, the other thing is just go back four years.
He won, you know, and tried to be bipartisan.
He made overtures to them.
And that very guy, Mitch McConnell, said our first priority is to make him a one term president.
We're not going to do anything he wants.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, this is how you want him to start again and go.
Let's try that again.
Yeah.
This was the reaction after this one from Senate minority leader and I believe first human turtle hybrid to be elected to Congress.
Mitch McConnell on C-SPAN.
The post inaugural period is usually a chance to pivot to governing after a long campaign.
It's an opportunity for presidents to reach out to the minority and to forge compromises.
OK, so that's him saying there he continued on slowly.
So he got rid of it.
This is him.
Four years ago, the same guy that says, I don't understand why he wasn't going for compromises.
Our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny President Obama a second term.
That's the same guy on CNN, Mitch McConnell.
Four years ago saying, hey, you know what?
We should just spend the next couple of years making sure this guy doesn't get anything accomplished.
And so he's not reelected this time when he's reelected.
He's going, I don't understand why he's not reaching across the aisle.
What a douche.
What do you want a president to do?
Just wait and be like, oh, you know what?
Let's all let's just do a thing that you want to do, too.
No.
Obama should come in and be.
Like, look, if you don't agree with me, I'm going to put your dick on this table and I'm going to punch you directly in the tip of your dick.
It's going to get uncomfortable.
Yeah, it is going to be uncomfortable.
You're going with the dick punch technique.
Why?
I'm fine with that.
You're fine with that?
I'm fine with some dick punching.
Look, that's what I wanted to do the first time.
Dick punch?
That was your idea the first time?
No, just.
Well, you know, I hadn't really thought about it till Rich brought it up.
No.
In other words, you get elected.
It frustrates me to no end that you have political power.
You have parties that get elected and then everything that they want to do gets stymied.
It's like, look, I believe you elect a party to power.
Let them do their policies and let them sink or swim based on what happens.
If you don't like it, you vote them out and you go a different direction.
But this idea that nothing gets done is ridiculous.
That was the biggest reason for me why Obama winning this most recent election was so important.
Because if he didn't, there's always going to be arguing.
But if he didn't, it would have just reaffirmed the whole strategy of obstructionism.
Let's make sure he can't get anything done, make him sound like the worst person in the world.
And then once he doesn't accomplish anything, we'll get him out.
And that's horrible for the system.
All right.
So obviously unnecessarily reported, way over reported.
But if you thought Beyonce was at the inauguration just to look good, well, you were mostly right because she prerecorded.
Did anybody give a shit?
I mean, is there any reason?
Does anybody care about that?
No.
The temperature makes it hard for a singer to do what they want to do.
Who cares?
You remember, you know what I did not know is when we were talking about this, the big Super Bowl halftime from Whitney Houston?
Everybody knew Whitney.
That was pre-recorded.
Yeah.
Why was she sweating her ass off then during that thing?
She was sweating her ass off.
She was high as hell on coke.
That is probably very accurate.
You know what else I read is 2009 cellist Yo-Yo Ma was questioned about hand-sinking at Obama's first inauguration.
Hand-sinking.
Hand-sinking.
Hand-sinking.
Hand-sinking.
He said it was too cold.
The instrument wasn't going to work properly.
Yeah.
Hand-sinking.
I didn't know that that was a thing.
And then have you ever heard of Lupe?
Marcel Marceau was big on that.
Have you ever heard of Lupe Fiasco?
That's the oldest, whitest question you've ever asked on this show.
Have you ever heard of Lupe Fiasco?
Yes.
I'm 28 years old and I'm from America.
I've heard of Lupe Fiasco.
I have no idea who the fuck Lupe Fiasco is.
I am 107 years old.
I am also from America.
I would assume if I put a sombrero.
I am assuming it's a punk band.
Oh, for the love of Christ.
I know.
I'm Jewish and I'm singing for the love of Christ.
I'm assuming if I put a sombrero on Drew, he would immediately become Lupe Fiasco.
Is that not true?
I'm starting to think I know what I'm going to be for next Halloween, but go ahead.
He played at a pre-inauguration party and played one song for about 30 minutes with some anti-Obama lyrics.
I believe I have this from the Young Terrics.
Let's listen to this.
Slim Bob is a racist.
Slim Beck is a racist.
Got his shit with him.
Bob Obama, D.S.H.
This one, go for it.
Next one.
Next one.
Next one.
Next one.
Next one.
Next one.
Next one.
Next one.
Next one.
There you go.
So I'm assuming most of the people didn't have a problem because they didn't know what the fuck he was saying.
I couldn't make out much, but I have to say I did get one line, and I'm pretty sure if you're at an Obama inauguration, one of your lyrics shouldn't have that phrase, Obama didn't say shit.
He says so much shit.
What are you talking about?
He says a large amount of shit.
That's what he's best at.
Yeah.
That is why they invited him, and then how they get surprised is here are the lyrics that you didn't hear.
Limbaugh is a racist.
Glenn Beck is a racist.
Gaza Strip was getting bombed.
Obama didn't say shit.
That's why I ain't vote for him.
That's good English as well.
That's why I ain't vote for him.
Next one either.
I'm part of the problem.
My problem is I'm peaceful.
And then they said, hey, let's get this guy for the Obama pre-inauguration party.
Somebody screwed up.
Good call.
That's never going to do much for winning over those, you know, the people in the South that were like, we don't like him because he's black.
Yeah.
Well, it was one song.
He was playing that song.
And he kept playing it.
And so they told him to move on.
They didn't supposedly kick him off.
They just said move on.
And he just kept playing the song.
So eventually they cut the mic.
Is he the fish of rap?
He just got stuck.
He had no idea.
All right.

After having to watch President Obama get sworn in for a second term, Republicans finally got their chance to grill Hillary Clinton about the Benghazi attack.
And they were hoping to make an impression that would last for probably about four years.
This is from ABC News.
Again, we were misled that there was supposedly protests and then something sprang out of that and assault sprang out of that.
And that was easily ascertained.
That was not the fact.
But the American people could have known that within days.
And they didn't know that.
With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans.
Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans?
What difference at this point does it make?
It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again.
As Bill Clinton found out, if you want a more submissive woman, you better keep an intern under your desk.
You know, the older Hillary gets, the more she looks and sounds like Harvey Keitel.
That is not good for either one of them.
But that is an interesting observation.
So they got to gorilla for a little bit.
Rand Paul, who, what a douche, came with, I see that you're accepting responsibility for the biggest tragedy since 9-11.
Did more than four people die in the Iraq war that we didn't need to go to?
Or what about Newtown?
I know, exactly.
I mean.
This is, that's, don't get me wrong.
Four Americans is four too many that, to be killed.
But.
What about the last season of Lost?
That was, that was tragedy as well.
So she gets grilled for a while.
She's on her way out.
She has to take it for about five and a half hours, six hours.
And I mean, here's the thing is, it's, first of all, it's as many hearings almost as they had on 9-11 itself.
Like just demanding hearings after hearing after hearing.
But some of the things that they're asking.
Democrats don't ask anything.
They just tell us she's great.
And then the Republicans are like something about leading from behind.
I heard on Fox News and I mean, some of the most ridiculous shit I've ever seen.
Rand Paul did the worst one.
Was there anything with the US selling weapons to Turkey?
And then he was on Fox News after going, I have no evidence.
No one said anything to me.
There's, there's been no reports.
I just, you know, but I wanted to ask that question.
It's like, really?
That's well, that's pretty much how Fox News is.
Does most of their reporting anyway.
I have no evidence, but I made up this question that sounds suspicious.
Miss Clinton, who shot Biggie Smalls?
Because if you don't get them, they don't get us all.
So, I mean, honestly, I think some of these people literally just want to make sure that they have clips to bring back in two and a half years if Hillary wants to start running again.
That's what I think mostly.
At this point in time, I think they realize, all right, we milked the Susan Rice thing as much as we could.
We can't tie this back to Obama.
We thought this was going to be a big thing for the big wedge issue for the election.
That didn't work.
We're scared of Hillary in four years.
So maybe we can at least have some clips that we can keep replaying on Fox News in two and a half years.
Yeah.
That is literally what I think they were hoping to get out of it.
I don't know what else they were going to get out of it.
I mean.
But now they just have clips of themselves looking bad, though.
Well, yeah, but they don't think they look bad and they won't play those on the stations where they're going to play it.
I mean, the problem is, is and we've said this before, is that this should be investigated.
People died, but it should be investigated, you know, to find out how to fix the problem, not to see if you can somehow tie it to the president and blame him.
But Hillary Clinton isn't the only thing going on in Washington right now.
The House has extended the debt ceiling for three months in exchange for the Senate doing its job.
I like that.
This is from Newsy.
Is it time to raise the roof?
The media is abuzz about a House vote today to temporarily increase the debt ceiling.
The Republican controlled House is expecting to pass the bill.
Even though the party has come out.
Against raising the debt limit without forcing spending cuts.
Fox News reports.
That's because there's a catch.
So we are doing a short term moving the debt limit past the April 15th deadline because the most responsible thing any elected officials do is do a budget.
And if you don't pass the budget, you don't get paid.
That's right.
The bill would withhold pay from lawmakers if the Senate can't find a way to pass a budget.
I like that.
I like that element.
I do not like the Republican using the debt limit as a negotiating tool.
Since they didn't do it for any other.
President and it has to be done anyway because you have to pay your bills.
But I do like the do your job or you won't get paid element of this.
Congress is like on a weekend in Vegas.
I'll just take out 200 more dollars.
Whatever.
She's hot.
Let's go for it.
Hey, that works.
It's a reason Vegas is still around and makes that much money.
I mean the house approved it 285 to 144.
They basically pushed the whole thing three months to all fight three months down the road figuring.
Okay.
Now we can negotiate the you know, the market doesn't freak out because we're about to come up against another fiscal Cliff.
And basically this is aimed at the house has passed a budget that isn't going to probably get approved by the Senate.
But the house passed the budget.
The Senate hasn't passed their budget in four years.
I believe so.
They basically said, all right.
Well, if you don't pass a budget, you don't get paid.
Love it.
I love that element of it.
I mean, it's a lot better than constantly reporting that these idiots keep giving themselves a raise.
Yeah.
But going from the debt ceiling to the glass ceiling.
That was nice.
Huh?
That was very nice.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
Nice.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta had discovered one of the ways to increase the number of combat troops is by eliminating the requirement that they have a penis.
This is from Al Jazeera English.
Since the founding of the country.
It has been a core us belief.
Only straight men should fight in combat under the Obama administration.
The prohibition on being.
Openly gay was lifted.
Now with little fanfare.
The last restriction keeping women on the sidelines will be thrown out Thursday.
Within a year women who serve in the military.
They make up just about 14% of the force will be eligible to apply for 230,000 new jobs.
The reason the last two US Wars.
There are no front lines anymore.
If you go all the way back to the Civil War, you had a front line and a clear back line.
You don't know because it's an asymmetric war fight.
So everybody at any minute any moment could be in danger.
Any thoughts any thoughts that either one of you guys have a problem with this women for the last while have been in combat positions.
So it's not like they've been restricted from that in the Iraq War and Desert Storm women were in in combat units.
They're not allowed to be in smaller ground combat units since 1994.
You know, if Augusta lets women in that I think women can do anything.
Yeah, there you go.
Yes.
I think this thing is mostly been just so that they can be.
Promoted.
In other words, it was more and after the fact thing.
I mean you can say they were banned but the fact is we've had women in combat.
We've had women but they have been they're not allowed to go into smaller combat units, which now are there's 230,000 battlefront posts that are have now been opened up that they were not allowed.
I mean as far as have they been in combat.
Yes, and that's kind of one of the reasons why they're opening it up is because even when they weren't in those units the type of Wars that happen now, they don't have a front line.
So exactly they they're there.
In the line of fire anyway, and what the change does now because the way it was they weren't eligible for certain promotions and certain jobs and now that this levels that playing field.
I smell a remake of GI Jane.
Oh goodness.
How about they just do the first one better?
That was horrendous dude.
There's no need for talking about a ball Demi.
That was one-handed push-ups.
That was impressive.
That was the thing I can watch the check did I could watch Jack Palance ever wanted to do that first of all, that's not true.
That's not true.
Just show.
Me a ball check and that Bell.
That is not not true.
Here's my thing is I'm fine with women fighting because I can't do it.
I mean, I there's no way and I've said this I think maybe on bad advice or an earlier show.
I would I am way too big of a pussy to be a good soldier.
There's no I mean, there's no doubt like a you guys saw.
No, that's true.
No, that is accurate.
Have you seen Saving Private Ryan?
You remember the beginning of Saving Private Ryan Saving Private Ryan when they say oh my God, it's a huge we got ourselves, you know, if you're a veteran.
If you're a veteran is maybe too real for you don't watch it.
So I'm sitting in the theater with my buddy and it's right before that happens.
They're on the way to the chaos and I look at my buddy and I go holy shit.
That water looks cold.
That's how I knew I would not be good 30 seconds later.
There's bullets.
There's people dying and I'm going oh never never mind.
Never mind.
I would not be good.
So let the women fight.
Let the women fight.
They're already better than I am.
I like it.
But of course the only person to have a problem with it.
Is it?
Is it any group with the word family in it?
Which also usually ties into a religion family research Council claim that the decision is another social experiment by people who never fought in an infantry or special forces unit.
Of course, this was recommended by the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
I assume they have some military always, you know, they played risk once or twice.
We would like to we should listen to the you know, the boots on the ground the generals unless they say something we don't agree with.
Yeah, that was yeah.
That was McCain during the Don't ask don't tell why everybody was busy yelling at the outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton John Kerry Cruz through his hearing.
I don't I don't foresee him having any problem at all considering he's actually he had to have a hearing with the committee that he has been in charge of up until right now.
His confirmation.
Yeah, they were confirming that he's boring.
Yes, that was I would have assumed that was confirmed four years ago.
Yeah, yeah, or eight years ago whenever the hell is confirmed.
You are listening to the weekly wrap-up on extreme talk XM.

There was another shooting on a college campus this week.
I could have picked almost any one of the 300 shootings that happened today in this country, but I took this one because it's a great example of the dangers of having too many stupid people with guns and not good shots because nobody died.
That is true.
This is from the Associated Press.
We have low-star Community College campus is safe.
It just boils down to why it ended up the way it did was just stupidity.
I mean, there's no other way to clear.
I mean, no argument should result in someone pulling the fire.
No argument.
And so I don't care what it was about.
They need to happen.
Two guys in a cow.
By the way, that's the cop trying to explain what the hell happened.
How a lot of guns get pulled though.
An argument of some sort.
Even if it's between Nations.
Yes, no incident should result in that guy being behind a microphone.
That guy was explaining how two people bumped into each other in a college and then one guy left came back with a friend and shot him.
Here's what it did.
There was there were two guns right see and then like a chicken there was a road.
Hey, he is a sheriff.
He does not have to be a good spokesman.
I just solved the damn crime.
I mean two guys one guy left.
How about this?
By the way, one guy leaves comes back with his friend.
And and a gun and he accidentally shoots his friend in the process of shooting the other guy as well.
Also shot, you know, a custodial worker, I believe somewhere and then some woman also had a heart attack or a sorry a panic attack.
By the way, when there's a shootout going on and they have to take you to the hospital because you have a panic attack.
You're you better be the last line of that fucking story.
You stink.
You stink people getting shot and you're like, you know what?
My heart's beating.
Can someone take me to that?
Take me first.
The medal for that's a purple douche.
Meanwhile, in New Mexico, a 15 year old boy faces charges of murdering five family members with his father's gun.
Yet right now at the same time in that state, a Republican representative is sponsoring a bill that would allow licensed owners to carry concealed handguns into restaurants and liquor establishments.
Armed drunk people.
How is that a good idea?
Well, it is New Mexico.
So sooner we can fix that.
I don't I don't understand.
I mean, obviously, you know, the 15 year old the guns.
He took it from his dad.
It was the guns were legal, but there were guns in the house for him to get and the kid was kids not.
He claims he had homicidal and suicidal thoughts killed his family at homicidal ones.
We know that certainly killed his family and then was planning on waiting outside of Walmart and just opening fire on people until gun until the cops shot him down.
But somebody told somebody found out about the murders and told the cops before that could happen.
Well, I heard as he was shooting.
He was screaming.
No more turquoise jewelry.
God, please.
Walmart joke is you got a Walmart joke in there.
Nice.
I mean, how do you how is guns where you drink?
I mean guns in college is already a bad idea.
I've been drunk in a college and hit somebody with a cue stick.
Don't give me a fucking loaded weapon.
Well, that's I mean, they have that same thing.
They were talking in Arizona like in bars.
It's like no you I have spent a lot of time in a 20-year comedy career in bars.
Oh, yeah, and I have seen fights start over some really dumb shit.
You there is I don't care what side of the gun debate you are on.
You are never going to convince me that if there were guns in that room that it wouldn't somehow make its way into the equation.
Yeah.
Now it's been a little over a week since the president revealed his gun control recommendations.
I have them here and rich I'd like to ask you which one of these are if any of these specific recommendations will prevent you from defending yourself against the US military if that becomes bring it on.
Let's do it.
All right.
Well, we got number one proposed background checks.
I know you I'm assuming you don't have a problem with background.
Checks.
I mean depends on how far back they go because when I was eight one time I masturbated in public.
So I assume I look at you and that's probably just think of you as being a good shot 15 and 27, but I'm talking about specifically that was it's once again implied.
I'm assuming when I look at you, there's a good chance you will masturbate in public.
Yeah background checks for all guns including private sellers.
So it would close the the loophole gun show loophole.
You have a problem with that.
No, that's pretty cool reinstating and strengthening the ban on assault weapons and limiting.
I mean ammunition magazines to 10 rounds.
We've already disagreed on that.
I think we should get rid of handguns before assault weapons.
Yes, I think I mean, I mean, I'm going to assault weapon.
Okay, my handgun.
Okay.
Yes, and I don't disagree with that.
However, since that's not on the table, I don't like that.
I don't like the assault weapons ban.
Okay, and what's the assault of assault weapons are automatic rifles.
These are semi-automatic rifles.
They're not even assault weapons.
They just look like it.
It's a weird.
It's a weird term for a rifle.
That's semi-automatic.
Well, we are okay.
But I mean as far as banning.
Assault weapons is different than a banning.
What you're saying is something that's not an assault weapon, but looks like an assault weapon.
That's not what they're actually talking about.
Terminology because right now you can't buy an automatic weapon.
You can't semi-automatic.
You can buy semi-automatic.
You cannot buy automatic.
Okay, so I don't agree with banning assault.
The the assault weapons ban that they're calling it right now.
I don't like it.
So semi-automatic weapons.
You're fine with the more people having semi-automatic weapons.
Absolutely for the rifles not pistols.
I think pistols should be gone.
So no one's carrying a rifle.
No one's carrying an M16.
A semi-automatic rifle into a bar.
You're carrying a 9mm into a bar.
Right, but that that is going under the under the assumption that the only thing I'm worried about with somebody having a semi-automatic rifle is that they're just going to show up and I don't know they have it.
Fact is is I don't give a shit if it's concealed or not.
If he can hold it in his house and then decide he's going to kill 50 people now.
I don't give a shit if I if he can conceal it or not.
I understand the argument that handguns people can have them all the time, which according to a lot of Republicans is fine and they should but I understand the fact that at least with an assault rifle, you're seeing an assault weapon or semi-assault or whatever it is.
Our our gun death numbers per capita would drop to near the international average.
If we got rid of handguns.
Yes.
Yes.
And I think we should get rid of handguns with the exception of police, but that's not going to happen.
Yeah, so I'm just saying if you ask me how I don't like I don't like that one.
Let me keep your rifle.
I want to shoot deer in the face and you can't shoot deer in the face with a regular rifle.
You need a semi-automatic.
Well, I want to get rid of its head.
All right, fair enough.
I'm going to feed you to a deer.
Yes, fair enough.
I would like it.
I'll choke a deer out and then kick it in the face.
I'm fine with that.
Why don't you do that?
Yeah, that's fine.
Bring a deer here right now.
I will choke a deer in front of everybody.
If you're going to do that, I'm fine with that.
I'll put a rear naked choke on that deer and I'll whisper in its ear as it goes out.
This is going to be so hot.
I am fine with that.
You probably don't have to do it, but I'm fine with the rest of it.
But but you know that way you don't have to shoot it.
75 times in a 30 second span.
Yeah, I think what Gus's earlier point is that...
Well, you can't shoot 75 times.
You have a 10 round clip.
These larger massacres tend to occur when people have these semi-automatic or automatic weapons.
Yes.
From what I've heard so far, the guns that actually did the killing in Newtown were the pistols, not the semi-automatic.
AR-15s from what I was reading.
Well, the AR-15 was in possession, but from what I've...
Now, I might be misquoting this.
I've heard that it actually wasn't fired.
And it was the 9mm that were fired in that situation.
That is not what I heard.
Hmm.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe you're not.
Maybe you're not.
It's possible.
Depends which...
Yeah.
Depends which blog you read.
Next gun law.
I want to talk about another one that I can...
Increasing penalties for straw purchasers, people who buy guns on behalf of somebody else.
Yep.
Sure.
Confirming a nominee for the director of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
I don't know the purpose of that, so I couldn't comment.
Well, here is what...
They are mostly there to try and enforce already passed and existing laws.
Yeah, sure.
Let's do it.
So, here...
I mean, basically what the NRA has said is, you know, just use the laws.
Don't pass any other laws.
Use the laws that you have.
But then, what they did was they made it...
They pulled funding and made it basically impossible for the ATF to, one, get somebody in charge of it.
They haven't had somebody in charge in like six years.
They can't go in and demand inventory right now.
They can't go in and find out how much inventory.
Background checks that are done in this law that was passed, thanks to the NRA, they're all...
Everything is thrown away or destroyed 24 hours later.
Confirm that, dude.
Let's do it.
24 hours later, they have to get rid of all paperwork for background checks.
So, you can't trace anything after that.
That's nice.
Banning the possession of armor-piercing bullets by anyone other than the members of the military and law enforcement.
That seems pretty reasonable.
Yeah.
I don't know.
That's one where I'd have to think about that one.
And my reasons are, you know, mostly post-apocalyptic, so...
You do have yourself some post-apocalyptic...
Post-apocalyptic.
Post-apocalyptic.
Post-apocalyptic thoughts.
And I mean, and those are the biggest ones of his...
When the zombies come, they won't be wearing body armor.
I don't want to have to sell my anal virginity for gasoline.
And if I have an armor-piercing bullet, then I can keep myself intact.
If you get it for a pizza, what's the difference?
I was gonna say, and I think those days are behind you.
Well, gasoline's not deep dish.
I mean, and most of his other...
Those are the biggest actions.
Everything else is, you know, recommendations of, hey, we'll start a national dialogue on mental health.
Like, I mean, how do people complain about any of that?
I don't know.
But basically, they seem to...
The rumor is, and Dianne Feinstein, who I believe proposed the last assault weapons ban, just proposed another one.
And they don't think that has a chance of passing.
A lot of people think that that was just proposed so they can throw that away and be like, all right, we gave in on that.
But this is interesting.
Majority of people polled support the separate elements of Obama's plan.
However, when asked whether their representative should vote for the whole gun plan, almost half of them say no.
I think they like the package.
They don't like it being presented in a brown wrapper.
It's like the healthcare debate, except for that brown wrapper part where they don't like it because it's from this president.
Yes, well, it is exactly the same thing as the healthcare debate.
And they even say that in this thing.
Polling shows the same thing.
Individually, they like the elements of the healthcare debate.
But when you specifically ask about the whole package tied to Obama, they go, no, vote against it.
Yeah.
We like what's in it.
We don't like that it's being presented.
I like the gift.
I don't like the brown box you put it in.
Yeah.
That is what, now that's not all of them, obviously.
92% of Americans favor background checks for all potential gun buyers.
I mean, I think that's, they're going to settle on something that simple, I believe.
And that's basically it.
So, Rich, here's the thing is, for the most part, if you can just convince all your other gun loving friends, any of what you said, with the exception of maybe the semi-assault weapons ban, man, more power to you, buddy.
Yeah, most of them are kind of dumb by comparison.
Like, I'm a genius.
And I'm hot.
So, like, they don't like me that much.
Nice.

Thousands of pages of newly released documents reveal an extensive cover-up of sexual abuses at the Catholic Church.
I haven't been this shocked since Lance Armstrong admitted to doping.
This from NTDTV.
You can find this and other articles on NTDTV.org.
You can also find articles on the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles for attempting to cover up cases of sexual abuse.
On Tuesday, victims demanded that former Cardinal Roger Mahoney and other high-ranking officials be publicly admonished for trying to cover up clergy molestation.
This is in response to internal church documents that were released on January 21st as part of a pending civil lawsuit against the archdiocese.
Mahoney and Thomas J.
Curry, Mahoney's chief advisor on sex abuse issues, had been covering this up for a while.
The documents said they discussed ways to prevent law enforcement from learning about the sexual abuse.
These cases date back to 1986 and 1987, more than a decade before the abuses became public knowledge.
Nice, nice.
I don't know how this would surprise anybody.
Well, I did get surprised.
I read the report and I was surprised to find out how many people in Los Angeles actually go to church.
I thought this was a godless city.
Well, they don't necessarily practice what they preach.
2007, there was a settlement agreement and the victims wanted these files released and the church wanted to release these files with everybody's name, anybody that's related to it blacked out.
And the judge said no.
So this first group of pages came out and basically they show just, and these are just specific pages about individual moments.
Molesting priests.
And then it's these, you know, these back channels of these people, no pun intended, of these people basically figuring out how to hide it from the police.
This one specific guy on this case, Father Nicholas Rivera, who is now deceased, of course, this is when it all comes out is after these guys are dead.
Mahoney, Cardinal Roger Mahoney was found out about it, told this guy to flee and waited two days to tell the cops.
So this guy had a two-day, head start, and then he went back to Mexico.
I mean, if this doesn't shake for anybody who's religious, and we're not going to get into that full conversation now, but if this doesn't shake your general belief in religion, and I say that for, and we're going to come up with an Orthodox Jew who was also just as fucking evil.
It's not just one religion, but it's, this is not one guy, one bad guy who snuck in and pretended to be a rabbi or a priest.
This is not only bad shit happening, but the people that are supposed to be at the very least, yes.
And at the very least believe what they're preaching to you.
Obviously don't.
And if those people don't, how are you supposed to buy the shit that's already seriously flawed with logic?
That is horrible, but I don't know how that would surprise anybody.
And I'm assuming every, you know, every time they release new documents, it's going to be another disgusting story.
Anybody, anybody else as disgusted as I am, or you guys just used to it?
No, of course.
No, it's horrible.
Now what I think the worst part is that because of the time they can't prosecute because.
That's amazing.
It's yeah.
That's amazing.
After seven years.
Right.
I think they would have been able to, if it's for molesting, but for covering it up, they can't.
It's like 10 years.
I think the only thing is that doesn't have a statute of limitations is murder.
The time of window of prosecuting obstruction of justice is 10 years.
And for conspiracy, it's three years after the last overt criminal act.
Like, I don't understand how there is a timeframe on that.
That seems, especially when you're dealing with a crime.
That crime is independent of the actual crime that's being covered.
Right.
That's the thing with the law and stuff.
Right.
That's why I don't know whether if this priest was still alive, if they could get him for it.
But I didn't foreign affairs.
Israelis decided this week that a hawk is kosher enough for them.
Listen to this from CNN.
We go to Israel where voters turned out in huge numbers today to decide whether a coalition led by Benjamin Netanyahu will continue to lead the country, a right wing coalition.
Now, the results were not as clear as expected.
It's a crucial election for the United States.
Aaron, here in Israel, a clear but slightly wounded winner in the Israeli, the Israeli-led coalition.
The Israeli-led coalition, which is the one that's been in the Zatita future.
They're a more liberal party in their two-state solution, middle-class support, blah, blah, blah.
And so it's a youth movement.
So they kept in the hawkish guy, but then tried to balance him out with a more leftist.
Well, it's parliamentary.
So if you get 16% of the vote, you get 16% of the parliament.
Yeah.
Apparently his, you know, his, well, they're questioning whether because he is so hawkish.
They said, first of all, he's basically bumped the Palestinian issue way down the list and has put Iran.
Iran as, as the big thing on his list.
But a lot of, you know, the youth movement that you're saying is, is basically saying, Hey, we got enough shit to get a deal with at home.
If you don't deal with the Iranian, uh, the Palestinian problem, you're never going to resolve the Iranian one.
Well, the Iranian one has zero to do with the Palestinian problem.
Anyone says otherwise doesn't understand the issue.
The Iranian thing has nothing.
We could give peace.
You could give Palestine, the Palestinians complete, complete, perfect state, give them all of Jerusalem.
That will not change Iran and its relationship to Israel, to Jews, to the United States or anything that I agree with.
I know.
I agree with that, but you know what, on the, there's other areas.
Yes.
They use that.
Find something else to get stoke.
They'll find the blood libel.
Like they'll do something.
They'll, they'll make fun of our hats.
They'll do something to stoke it.
We do have funny hats, but, uh, but yeah, no, I mean, I agree with you in the fact that they're not the only way they are intertwined to me or the, the biggest way is that it is used.
The Israeli issue is used right all the time in that part of the world to, to hate Israel.
Likud has shifted.
Likud, which has been a BB's party.
They were against a two state solution for a long time.
And in 2009, BB reversed the position and now they're in favor.
They're they're okay.
They're acquiescing to a Palestinian state, which is a big shift in policy from the history of that party.
Yes.
Except when they build settlements, suddenly start expanding settlements.
That's here's the problem is that's primarily a religious Jews, American immigrants who are coming over and building that.
And then since they have citizenship in Israel, Israel's mandated to defend them militarily.
And then you get into the power play politics of that situation that begin to arise.
But the settlements thing is so annoyingly complex and it's not necessarily about the government specifically.
No, but the government has announced certain things where they're saying we are going to now do a whole bunch of construction in this area that we're pretending eventually may be yours.
And, and I only say pretend because if you're saying it's eventually going to be theirs in any solution, stop putting obstacles in the way.
It'll be interesting to see the next election.
What happens with.
Yes, I T because, you know, there's a big, big upswell in, in a shift in the way that young people in Israel view the war and how they view military service and how they view in particular the economic structure in Israel.
It will, it will be interesting to see how, how that changes.
Cause obviously whatever Israel ends up doing, we're going to be, we're going to be right next to them.
So meanwhile, in Russia, they began a small scale.
Russia began a small scale evacuation of about a hundred of its citizens from Syria on Tuesday and what experts warn could at any moment develop into an evacuation.
We were still going to have times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where there were times where times were times where times were times where times were times where times were times where times were times where times were times where times were times where times were times where times were times where times were times where times were times where times were times where times were times where times were times where times were times where times were times Some of the female countries.
Well, if they're the ones giving you weapons, you're like, yeah, good friend.
You know, some countries like the bad boy.
They like the bad boy image.
Oh, yeah.
All right, let's come back to the States for a little bit for a less deadly kind of battle.
Brother against brother in the Har Bowl.
Winner gets top bunk.
This is from ABC News.
It's the San Francisco 49ers versus the Baltimore Ravens for the Super Bowl.
And the two brothers who coach the teams are now going head to head.
They're calling it the Super Bowl.
Or maybe the Har Bowl.
Either way, the 47th annual NFL title game will pit the two Har Bowl brothers, Jim and John, against each other.
After John's Baltimore Ravens crushed the New England Patriots late Sunday, just hours after Jim's San Francisco 49ers beat the Atlanta Falcons.
The 49ers are going to the Super Bowl.
Brothers have never been head coaches of opposing teams in the big game.
You guys have a prediction.
And do you have someone you're rooting for?
I think they're going to make out after the game is over.
The brothers?
Yes.
There's nothing good about that idea.
No, I think that what's going to happen is...
There's nothing good about that idea at all.
That's what I think is going to happen.
It's going to put an end to that, like, parents love all their kids equally.
It's like someone's going to be the favorite kid.
I will tell you this.
If they end up making out now after the game, Rich is the smartest man I have ever, ever seen.
Place your bets now, people.
That is a fucking horrible idea.
So, I mean, it's an interesting story.
No brothers have you heard?
Is there an over-under on that?
No.
It's just...
Yeah, it's how many seconds they exchange tongues.
You guys are absolutely gross.
I put it at 15.
You know, here's the thing is, I like the San Fran players better.
I like the Baltimore Harbaugh better.
So, I need to mix and match a little bit.
But Ray Lewis thinks God's on his side, so he's got that going for him.
I mean, there's a lot of stories.
I would rather see the 49ers win because I don't like the other team.
You don't like the Ravens in general or you just don't like Ray Lewis?
I don't like the Ravens.
Are you scared of Ray Lewis?
No.
I think you're scared of him.
I would kick his ass.
He will kick his ass.
He will kill you.
He will not.
He will kill you with his stare.
So, I mean, one of the big stories out of...
It was his Kaepernick out of San Francisco where you're 10 games into the season.
They have their quarterback who brought him one game away from the Super Bowl last year, Alex Smith, who had the fifth best, I believe, QB rating in the whole league or maybe third best, and he gets a concussion.
And they replace him for the rest of the season, even though he could be back a week later with their first or second year player, Colin Kaepernick, who basically in his first playoff game set a record.
He set a record for 181 yards rushing for a quarterback.
I have never liked the whole thing where they bring in someone off the bench to fill in for injury, and that person starts crushing it, and they go, oh, well, the other guy's back now, so we're going to put him back in.
You go with the hot hand, and finally a coach is doing that, and that's why this is paying off.
Yeah.
And, you know, that's the one thing you have to credit the coach with is that is such a ballsy move because if it backfired, if it backfired at all, it was so easy to be second guessed.
So easy.
I mean, you had a quarterback that got you right there and was having a good year, his best statistical year up until that point, and you replaced him with a guy with no experience at all.
I want the Niners to win just because Joe Flacco being Super Bowl champion is like Woody Allame, the light heavyweight champion.
It just looks wrong.
Randy Moss, who came back to play this year after retirement and has not been a big factor but has not caused any trouble in the locker room, has not complained apparently, or at least not publicly.
Yeah.
It would be interesting to see him come back and after being a Hall of Famer, a certain Hall of Famer, and one of the best receivers ever, coming back and not being that good and then winning a championship.
Yeah.
That would be weird.
Did he?
He's been on a winning team before.
He has never won a championship, no.
No.
He has.
Patriots didn't win when he wasn't with them then?
No.
Patriots were, his first year was his record-setting year, and then the Giants beat him.
Okay.
You're thinking about when he won the best cornrow competition.
It's not a championship.
I mean, it's a championship, but not.
Most touchdowns.
Are you saying the Vikings?
Are you saying the Vikings?
Are you saying the Vikings?
The Vikings never won?
He was dominant then.
Most touchdown receptions in a season, him, 23.
In a 16-game season, 23 touchdowns.
Most touchdown receptions by a rookie.
Most seasons with 17 touchdowns, 16 touchdowns, 11 touchdowns, 10 touchdowns.
He has all those records.
And there's a bunch more.
Youngest player in NFL history to record 100th receiving touchdowns.
I mean, he is, he is either has the record or is tied with Jerry Rice or behind Jerry Rice for so many records.
Really is.
It would be impressive.
And the most impressive thing is that he has not really complained all year long.
On the sad side of sports, the family of Junior Seau, the former All-Pro player who committed suicide in May, his family just joined the class action concussion lawsuit against the NFL.
4,000 ex-players and around 2,000 spouses and families are suing the NFL for pretending that there was no connection between violence and head trauma.
The good news is they found five more players with this.
But these players are living.
Up until recently, they could not detect CTE.
But they can't do anything to fix it.
As of now, no.
But they couldn't figure out what to do until you can get it in a living person.
I want to sue all these people for not looking at Muhammad Ali and going head trauma can jack you up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, they pretend that Muhammad Ali is just straight Parkinson's and they pretend it's not punch drunk.
Yeah.
Which is what they used to call CTE.
Well, they also say that that thing can lead to the onset of Parkinson's.
Yes.
Yes.
I mean, here's the thing.
I agree with you.
You should know.
But to the extent of which it was, they did not for a while.
However, it does seem more and more that they knew for a while and continue to like the NFL put out their own tests or had their own research.
But they had their own research with a goal in mind, which is find out that this doesn't cause long term damage.
Concede.
Now, on the other side, you're playing against Ray Lewis.
If you're if you're San Francisco and you're playing against Ray Lewis, you're playing against Ray Lewis.
And you have to deal with this.
Watch how much evil.
Like when he does.
Which we call it crime.
Watch how much crime picks up if you take away our game.
Why do you think that would happen?
There's nothing else to do, Sam.
There's nothing else to do.
If there's no football, I need crime.
I need to kill.
That is that is without the crazy head drama.
I'm going to hit him.
That's why OJ did it.
That is Ray Lewis talking about a potential lockup.
On ESPN a couple of years ago.
I just like allegedly.
Sorry.
Allegedly.
OJ.
Allegedly.
I feel you can hear.
You can just blatantly accuse him.
I'm pretty sure.
All right.
Let's let's get the headlines.
Extra.
Extra.
Read all about it.
Extra.
Extra.
Extra.
Extra.
Read all about it.
All right.
We've talked about the president's inauguration.
And even though he was officially sworn in the day before the inauguration was symbolically celebrated on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the national holiday that celebrates the civil rights leader's birthday.
Um.
There are a couple of things interesting about that.
First of all, Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983.
And it wasn't until 2000 that every state celebrated and called it Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Took 14 years for some states to.
Isn't Arizona still fighting it?
No.
Arizona gave in.
Virginia finally gave in.
Virginia used to have.
It used to combine it with Robert E.
Lee Day.
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding?
It's even worse than that.
I was watching Kimmel on Monday night and country singer Brad Paisley.
Paisley.
Paisley was on.
He had a song.
He had a black gospel choir backing him up singing.
I wish I was in the land of cotton.
Really?
My brain just broke.
That is.
That is a strange.
I'm glad I didn't see it.
It's the definition of irony actually.
That is bizarre.
It took 14 years for states to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Yet how quickly were they able to organize National Gun Appreciation Day?
That's nice.
That's a nice sign.
Well, I don't think that's quite a national holiday.
No, it is not.
I'm just curious.
Although I would like to take off work for it.
I'm curious how many of those southern states were able to get a good showing for it though.
It's the 40th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court case Roe vs. Wade.
Or as the kids today know it, they don't.
The kids today don't know anything about it.
According to a Pew poll found, kids under 30 today, only 44% knew that Roe vs. Wade dealt with abortion.
That's nice.
How do you not know what that is?
Well, actually Planned Parenthood to combat that for the 40th anniversary is having a buy one, get one free sale this year.
So get them other hot ladies.
Nice.
63% of Americans think the Supreme Court should not overturn Roe vs. Wade.
Although an NBC poll had that number at 70%.
And that sticks with every group, every educational group, every racial group, every age group.
The only group of people that do not think Roe vs. Wade should stand is white evangelical Protestants.
54% want it overturned.
Meanwhile though, despite the fact that everybody but those Protestants, white evangelical Protestants, despite everybody but them, you know, are being good with Roe vs. Wade, there's been 135 laws passed restricting abortion rights in the last two years.
That doesn't even count how many things they tried to put out.
Yeah.
Oh, that's ridiculous.
Peter Robbins, the former voice of Charlie Brown from the classic 60s TV movies, is in a San Diego jail for stalking and making criminal threats.
I'm assuming he did it to Lucy for pulling the fucking football out one too many times.
But it was his ex-girlfriend.
He and Elmo, by the way, can team up.
The voice of Elmo can team up, make the scariest kid show ever.
I will watch that.
I got no doubt you'd watch it.
He's bailed a set at $550,000 and he's ordered not to have contact with the two people and not to possess a gun, which probably pissed off the NFL.
You know how at the beginning of People's Court, it's like, you think like when they start that court, like, Well, as soon as they found him guilty.
Ugh!
That's it.
You got a little Charlie Brown going.
Dude, he hasn't played jobs.
He was a kid when he played.
He hasn't played Charlie Brown in 43 years.
According to his site, he lives in Oceanside with his dog Snoopy.
He hasn't been Charlie Brown.
You couldn't be more creative?
He hasn't been Charlie Brown for 43 years.
How many fucking dogs named Snoopy has he gone through?
Yeah.
That's a lot.
A federal judge in Chicago sentenced an American citizen to 35 years in prison for his role in providing surveillance information for the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai, India.
Maybe this is why India never outsources to the U.S., by the way.
David Coleman.
Edwin Headley, a U.S.
citizen of Pakistani heritage, was arrested in 2009 and immediately talked to officials and gave up his connections.
And so we decided since he played such a big role in helping, we will not seek the death penalty.
You know, if this happened on our soil, we would have seeked the death penalty.
But it was Indian, so we were fine with it, apparently.
An esteemed religious counselor in New York City's ultra-Orthodox Jewish community was sentenced Tuesday to 103 years, which I assume by the Hebrew calendar is 103 years, for molesting a girl.
Who came to him with questions about her faith.
So just so we just know it's not just the church.
They should take all these fucking people, by the way, and lock them, all these religious molesty people, and lock them up in a place and just let them molest each other.
I think it's general molesty people.
Religious or not, it's general molesty people.
Let them fight lions with sticks.
Yeah.
Seems fair.
I just don't think that they'd be attracted to each other.
That's probably true, which is even better.
Make them molest each other.
Although the Orthodox Jewish guy probably can't beat his meat next to dairy.
That counts.
Thank you very much.
That's a joke you did.
Yes, yes.
Yeah.
I feel good about that.
Mom's proud.
I feel good about that.
Let me tell you something.
If that joke read from right to left, it would have been perfect.
North Korea this week solidified its position as our least favorite Korea when they stated that their nuclear program would target the United States.
Yeah.
Some experts believe this may just be an attempt to get aid from the U.S.
So apparently in Korean, can I borrow some money is very close to I will nuke you.
That is...
Well, they say the rocket...
Could potentially reach San Francisco.
Okay.
So just move back east is what you're saying?
Yeah.
You're fine.
That is nice.
I like the fact that they...
I like the fact that they say, well, they're threatening to nuke you, so they may just want something.
Okay.
That seems strange.
That's nice.
You get that little rocket coming and you look up and you say, ooh, made in Korea.
The only woman in the world who doesn't want Justin Bieber may be his girlfriend Selena Gomez after she reportedly found out that he cheated on her with a 22-year-old model.
I don't condone cheating, but if he's single, Justin, live it up.
Live it up while you can because it's just a matter of time before you get old, heavy, and marry Kevin Federline.
I've seen it happen.
The 22-year-old model, they say he cheated with a 22-year-old model and nursing student as if anybody gives a shit about the career aspirations of the chick Justin Bieber's having sex with.
In an attempt to get into character for his new movie, The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, Shia LaBeouf, or as I like to refer to him, the luckiest actor ever, tripped on acid for the first time.
Does it still count as acting like you're on acid if you're actually on acid?
If that helps, I should have been a very successful actor.
Nobody was filming you.
It's the problem.
Damn it.
According to TMZ, Lindsay Lohan has turned down a lucrative offer to appear on the ABC reality show, Dancing with the Stars.
There might have been a conflict due to her expected appearance on several upcoming Cops episodes.
That's the first time she said no to something other than a designated driver.
Oh, nice.
You've been sitting on that one, dude.
That's nice.
Yeah, I came out too fast.
We'll ask Jeremy to slow it down.
Jeremy, slow it down in post.
Apparently, they can offer up to $550,000 to appear on Dancing with the Stars.
That's nice.
But she said no.
She does not want to do reality shows.
Did you not even do the Octomom story that she was going to have to strip for $100,000?
No.
That's gross.
And on the 40th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, Catherine Brown, a Republican lawmaker in Mexico, introduced a bill that would charge a rape victim who aborted the pregnancy with a third-degree felony for tampering with evidence.
Yeah.
So you would have to legally, legally, carry the evidence to term.
That, uh...
Which is absurd.
See, I, I...
That's why she's my douche of the week.
She's, you know, she's a good douche of the week.
That would have been the dumbest thing I ever heard except for her explanation of why she did the bill was it was to punish the person who commits rape and then procures an abortion to destroy the evidence.
So for that rapist who's afraid of destroying evidence, gotcha.
What, were you going to have the fetus testify?
That's...
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
And look, if you want it for evidence, take the fetus and put it in an evidence locker.
Yes.
Yes.
He'll live there until he's 18.
Yes.
That's where I store my feti.
I'd like to thank everybody for listening.
