Today on The Matt Will Show, Congress wants to give itself a raise, and Alexandria Cazir Cortez says

that they need a raise, because if we don't give them a raise, then they're going to be corrupt.

Well, I have a different idea, which I will share with you today.

Also, Justin Trudeau, Babbles Nonsensecly, will play that clip just because it's really funny,

and finally, a 60% of male managers say that they are now uncomfortable working with women,

You know, it may not be politically popular to say, but honestly, this is why there's so much

pressure to turn to lobbying firms and to cash in on, on members' service after people leave,

because precisely of this issue. So, it may be politically convenient, and it may make you look
