Show Notes

Meanwhile, Usha Vance sparks online chaos by simply not wearing her wedding ring to Camp Lejeune. And the DOT launches a new crusade to stop America’s worst airplane gremlins as holiday travel hits record levels.

1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:09.800
Callaroga Shark Media from Washington, d C. Where what the

2
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:13.000
world needs is a Jackie Chan movie. This is ballot.

3
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.640
That's right, Let's make movies great again. Let's hit this.

4
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:23.719
Hollywood's most persistent cameo king is at it again. Donald Trump,

5
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.480
now seventy nine years old and apparently still living in

6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.719
his blockbuster dreams, wants to resurrect the Rush Hour franchise

7
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:34.159
because nothing says presidential priorities like buddy cop movie nostalgia.

8
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.679
Apparently Trump's been bending the ear of Larry Ellison, you know,

9
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.079
just your average billionaire buddy who happens to own paramount

10
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.079
Trump's pitch. Let's bring back Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker

11
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:50.359
for another round of comedic mayhem, because clearly what America

12
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.679
needs right now is another reboot that nobody asked for.

13
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.399
The irony. Chris Tucker, one of the stars, was recently

14
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.799
spotted at a Kamala Harris camp Pain rally, so this

15
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:04.760
reunion might be more awkward than a family Thanksgiving where

16
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.120
half the table isn't speaking to the other half. But wait,

17
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.840
there's more. Brett Ratner, the original director, has been somewhat

18
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:17.319
let's say controversial. Warner brothers cut ties with him back

19
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:22.120
in twenty seventeen after some not so great allegations. But hey,

20
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.959
in Trump's Hollywood, apparently, second chances are as abundant as

21
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.719
spray tand Trump's movie Taste, by the way, is a

22
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:34.319
wild ride, blood Sport, Goodfellas, Gone with the Win. It's

23
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.359
like his Netflix queue was curated by a middle aged

24
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.519
dad who found the remote during late night cable. Usha Vance,

25
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.719
wife of Vice President JD. Vance, committed the cardinal sin

26
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:50.000
of potentially misplacing her wedding ring. Alert the media. Wait,

27
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:54.439
they already did. Apparently, when Usha visited Camp Lea June

28
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.680
with First Lady Milania Trump, her left hand was tragically

29
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.519
ring free. Social media to actives immediately went into full

30
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.079
CSI marriage investigation mode. Is JD sleeping on the couch,

31
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.479
which is all kinds of a great joke. Her spokesperson

32
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.879
responded with the most relatable statement ever. She's a mother

33
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.759
of three who does dishes and gives baths. Translation. Sometimes

34
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.800
you're too busy keeping small humans alive to worry about

35
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.800
where your ring is. I mean, have you tried bathing

36
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.479
three children? Finding a wedding ring becomes about as likely

37
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.479
as finding peace and quiet. Reminder to the Internet, women

38
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.240
are allowed to exist without constant marital surveillance. Shocking. I know,

39
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.400
New York mayor alect ZORINMOMDONI just proved that political drama

40
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.199
is alive and well. Just days after a shockingly cordial

41
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.840
White House meeting with Donald Trump, Mam Donnie went on

42
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.719
NBC's Meet the Press and basically said, yeah, I still

43
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.120
think you're a fascist. In his victory speech, Mam Donnie

44
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.439
dropped some serious political poetry, calling New York the light

45
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.280
in a moment of political darkness, and telling Trump to

46
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.680
turn the volume up spicy. Their White House meeting was

47
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.000
supposed to be more awkward than a high school dance.

48
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.280
Trump had previously called Mam Donnie a communist lunatic, not

49
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.680
exactly a term of endearment, but instead of World War III,

50
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.719
we got a bizarre political love fest. Trump was practically

51
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.280
adopting Mam Donnie, saying he feels very confident the mayor

52
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.840
elect can do a good job and that he'll surprise

53
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.759
some conservative people. They agreed to work together on housing,

54
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:30.560
food prices, and cost of living concerns. Because nothing says

55
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.159
we totally disagree like agreeing on literally everything that matters

56
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:43.560
to city residents. Department of Transportation Sean Duffy is on

57
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.400
a mission to make air travel civilized again, because apparently

58
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.479
we need a government campaign to remind people that sweatpants

59
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.000
aren't formal wear and your feet don't belong on someone

60
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.080
else's armrest. Duffy's launching The Golden Age of Travel Starts

61
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.280
with You, a campaign that's basically a massive, aggressive etiquette

62
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.000
lesson for grown adults who apparently were raised by wolves

63
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:09.639
and airport terminals. The stats are wild four and thirty

64
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.560
one reports of unruly passengers in twenty twenty five. That's

65
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.319
two point one million dollars in fines. Who knew being

66
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.120
a jerk at thirty thousand feet was such an expensive hobby.

67
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:24.680
Duffy's got five magical questions for travelers. Are you helping

68
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:29.480
pregnant women, dressing with respect, controlling your children, saying please

69
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.000
and thank you? It's like Emily Post wrote an airline

70
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:37.800
safety manual. One nostalgic traveler commented that in the early eighties,

71
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.199
she'd shop for a new dress just to fly. Now

72
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.480
people treat airports like their living room, and not the

73
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.720
fancy living room, the one where you eat pizza in

74
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.519
your underwear, So buckle up, America. The Trump administration is

75
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.720
here to save air travel one please and thank you

76
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:59.920
at a time who knew civility could be a government initiative. Well,

77
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.319
come to twoenty twenty five, where we need a federal

78
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:07.680
campaign to remind people how to be human. The FAA's

79
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.959
busiest week in fifteen years is upon US three hundred

80
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.680
and sixty thousand flights, seventeen point eight million people being screened.

81
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.000
That's more human traffic than a Black Friday sale at

82
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:22.680
a mall that's giving away free iPhones. Winter weather prepare

83
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:27.519
like you're going into battle. Check forecasts, pack smart, and

84
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.959
maybe pray to the travel gods. The Weather Channel has

85
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:36.000
a forecast that basically says expect everything, rain, snow, ice.

86
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.120
It's like Mother Nature is playing travel roulette. Pro travel

87
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.759
tip make sure you're not accidentally smuggling a giant shampoo

88
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:47.959
bottle through TSA. Nothing says holiday travel like being that

89
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.839
person holding up the security line. Seventy three million people

90
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.600
are hitting the roads. That's basically the population of a

91
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.439
medium sized country, all trying to get to Grandma's house

92
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:02.319
at the same time. Traffic predictions Wednesday is going to

93
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.040
be fourteen percent busier than usual peak traffic from one

94
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.800
to three pm. It's like rush hour, but with more

95
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:13.160
turkey induced road rage. So buckle up, America. Whether you're

96
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.720
flying or driving, this Thanksgiving travel is not for the

97
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:21.000
faint of heart. Pack patience, pack snacks, and maybe pack

98
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.759
a sense of humor. Remember, the best passenger is an

99
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.399
informed passenger, and the second best passenger is the one

100
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:33.079
with noise canceling headphones. Happy travels, and may the traffic

101
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:37.600
gods have mercy on your soul. Fly safe, dress nice,

102
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.079
and for the love of all that is holy, keep

103
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.600
your feet to yourself. Portions of today's show were made
