Transcript from 19:07

Man I want Doge to work. I want better efficiencies. I want to get rid of the alphabet agencies that don't do enough. Make the Pentagon pass an audit. But we are doing it in the wrong place if we want to really change the system.

Companies like Walmart, McDonald's, make billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidized profits. Yet many of their hardworking employees need taxpayer subsidized Public Assistance. Airlines get billions in bailouts that they use in stock buy-backs and bonuses, but if you're on food assistance you're not allowed to buy hot food with it because apparently heated entres are for winners.

We are subsidizing the very system that makes workers lives harder in the first place. All in the name of free freedom and liberty. But the greatest restriction of freedom in this country isn't DEIi and pronoun pressure, it's poverty and struggle and the government's role.

I'm not done yet [Applause]

You bastards. It's fine.

The government's role should be to end the corruption that enables that exploitation. That's what the Democrats should be doing every day, every day.

  • Every day, at 500 p.m. sharp, the Democrats should go live on Facebook and do the people's audit.
  • Find the absurdities and the remedies in our exploitative system.
  • Get someone like AOC or Jasmine Crockett or Chris Murphy or, anybody that doesn't sound like they're complaining why there's no more frozen yogurt at the cafeteria in The Villages.

I'm sorry you have no Riz (picture of Schumer)

And we need something more than shouting we need to do something constructive to Anchor our hopes.

A new acronym for a new age. It's not Maga, it's something more like make America not governed in obviously negative...

oh abort, abort, abort. I'm kidding. No vigilantes, but do something. [Music]

This is an article describing a little bit he did on their YouTube labeled "After the Cut," which was pretty funny. I fully believe John Oliver yelled, "It's only a flesh wound!" At him.
