the supreme court the world's lamest
gospel choir
today major news people
supreme court justice stephen breyer has
officially announced that he is retiring
and i know you're thinking wait we spoke
about this yesterday no that wasn't
officially that was unofficially that
was like a tweet that was official but
it wasn't official this is official
official right and this is gonna have
ramifications but before we get into the
politics let's take a moment
to honor justice breyer's career and
that's enough of that all right so joe
biden you may remember promised during
the campaign that he was going to
nominate a black woman if an opening on
the supreme court came up because
he cares deeply
about representation
and winning georgia
and so now it looks like that's what
he's planning to do but everyone is not
happy about that
right off the bat he is excluding all
potential candidates who are not
african-american women so if you're a
man if you happen to be white an
asian-american hispanic american joe
biden will not even look at your resume
to exclude certain candidates based
solely on race and gender is beyond
extremely divisive uh it may even be
illegal i don't think the president
should ever ever
insult the person he's going to nominate
by saying you're not the most qualified
person you're just the most qualified
black woman person well i mean what kind
of a qualification is that
being a black woman i mean is this our
standards now in terms of the highest
court in the land you almost got the
impression that joe biden believes all
black women are the same they're
identical this is exactly why decent
americans hated segregation it
dehumanized people and why isn't there
an american indian on the court or a
genderqueer
why isn't there an afghan refugee under
consideration
yeah and why isn't there a sexy m m
under consideration i'm talking about
one of those m ms that goes right from
the legs straight to the show
did we all just get horny
just me look man there's a lot to unpack
here but most importantly
being a black woman
isn't the qualification all right joe
biden is gonna pick a black woman who is
also
qualified
these people act like biden is just
gonna show up at the mall and be like yo
shaniqua come with me uh my name is
regina it doesn't matter just put on
these robes i need help with abortion no
she's going to be qualified
and why is that a bad thing why not try
to make the supreme court a little more
representative of the country it
represents
i mean their rulings impact the lives of
every person in the country so it would
be nice to have at least one justice on
there who's had to ask the walgreens guy
to unlock the shampoo shelf but at the
same time at the same time i also hear
what these fox people are saying you
know
it shouldn't matter whether you're black
or white this position should only go to
the most qualified judge
who also thinks that guns are people
and i mean i feel bad for tucker carlson
of course he's upset you know think
about it
for almost all of american history
the entire supreme court was white dudes
with bow ties and weird hair
and now that's all gone huh it's all
gone where's tucker's representation huh
lacrosse lives matter people all right
let's move on
from america to america's estranged dad
great britain
their prime minister boris johnson has
been embroiled in scandal ever since it
was discovered that while britons were
in lockdown
he broke the rules
and threw a bunch of office parties and
apparently they were partying for
everything retirement parties birthday
parties regular hangout parties
they were throwing parties just because
someone figured out how to unjam the
printer it's working it's rarely working
well this calls for a spot of bubbly
greg greg greg greg greg greg and as if
that wasn't bad enough now boris has
another scandal brewing british prime
minister boris johnson
get this
is once again
on the defense over another issue this
time it's whether he authorized the
evacuation of cats and dogs from
afghanistan a batch of leaked emails
appear to contradict johnson's claims of
having nothing to do
with the evacuation of animals from a
british charity in afghanistan as the
country fell to the taliban and human
beings were scrambling to find a way out
of that country but the prime minister
has always denied intervening a denial
he repeated this lunchtime
this whole thing is is is total rhubarb
the military always prioritized uh human
uh beings and that was quite right and i
think we should be incredibly proud of
uh of what pity and what it achieved
yo can i be honest
this is the most white people scandal of
all time you rescued pets before
human beings guys you have to prioritize
saving people over animals
because people will be grateful about it
you rescue a cat from afghanistan it'll
act like it's doing you a favor meow
thanks now boris says that this whole
scandal is total rhubarb so you can tell
he's stressed because british people
only bust out the obscure vegetables
when their backs are against the wall
prince andrew what were you doing on
geoffrey epstein's island oh brussels
sprouts it's not what you think this is
where you realize how special trump was
at getting out of a jam right
remember that guy because when most
politicians try and undo the scandal
trump was a genius man he would just add
another one to throw us off the trail i
know you're upset
but why are we talking about me sleeping
with a porn star when i'm about to
overthrow the government huh
that's the real story folks throwing
over my own government and i'm going to
overthrow it with me inside it now i'm
upside down all right finally
let us turn to today's big education
news
i before e
accept after c
apparently it's not true you can just
flip that i base my whole
personality on that also another
education story is over the last few
months there have been big movements by
conservatives to put limits on what kids
can learn in schools
laws saying that you can't teach
divisive concepts about race
laws saying that books should be pulled
from libraries for talking about gender
identity basically at this point if it's
not math science or how to hide from a
shooter they don't think it's
appropriate for kids to know about
and now one school board is going after
a surprising new target
a tennessee school board decided to ban
the pulitzer prize-winning graphic novel
mouse it's the only graphic novel ever
to win the pulitzer but the mckinney
county school board in tennessee has
banned the book
one board member said quote it shows
people hanging it shows them killing
kids
why does the educational system promote
this kind of stuff it's not wise or
healthy mouse is widely seen as the gold
standard when it comes to teaching kids
about the holocaust given its unique
voice its unique approach this decision
baffling the author of mouse art
spiegelman he was interviewed by cnbc
about this decision and he said this
it's leaving me with my jaw open like
what i also understand that tennessee is
obviously demented there's something
going on very very haywire there now if
you don't know mouse the whole reason
this book is taught in middle school is
that it's a serious book about the
holocaust that kids actually want to
read and adults too right because a
subject that's huge and horrifying is
hard to get your head around so what
mouse does is it turns all of the people
into cartoon animals right the jews are
represented by mice the germans are
represented by cats and because that's a
trope that we're familiar with from
comic books it helps people process this
event that's unthinkable otherwise
i mean it's either a comic book or that
peanut special it's genocide charlie
brown no but seriously though just
because you show something doesn't mean
you're promoting it you need to include
certain stories because they represent
reality right it's like having the
n-word in huckleberry finn or the n-word
in to kill a mockingbird or the n-word
in of mice and men or the n-word
good night moon wow
they said the n-word a lot so listen
tennessee school board
you don't need to be denying the
holocaust okay
that's youtube's job
stay in your lane
and when you teach kids teach them the
whole truth you can't teach it while
avoiding some of the unpleasant parts
that's not the thing
that's history you're supposed to teach
it properly
and it's going to make these kids look
really dumb later on in life
ah yes the holocaust
when millions of people were given free
pajamas no
