Use that slash pen and let them know that we sang you. All right, so Samantha B yesterday, of course, was the big news because Samantha B called Ivanka Trump a feckless sea word. Why? Because Ivanka Trump had committed the grave sin of having the gall to photograph herself with her child over Memorial Day weekend. Why, you ask, would this make her a feckless seaword? Well, because apparently at the border, illegal immigrant parents are being separated from their children. What does that have to do with Ivanka Trump? You ask nothing? The answer is nothing. But Samantha B decided that this made Ivanka Trump a feckless C word and that she should instead dress sexy for her dad because her dad wants to have sex with her, according to Samantha Bee, and then she should stump for Samantha Bee's preferred immigration policy. Well, all of this broke, and the right, predictably, and correctly, went nuts. They said, this is insane. Why would you go after Ivanka Trump this way? We just had a controversy in which Roseanne Barr lost her show for using a racist slur against Valerie Jarrett. And her show actually had ratings, unlike Samantha Bee's show, where seven people watch it, including Samantha Bee's immediate family. And yet Samantha Bee still gets to remain on air. Now, I'm not calling for Samantha Bee to be fired because, frankly, I think that her viewers got exactly what they were looking for. I think TBS hired her knowing full well what they were getting. I think the Roseanne's situation is just a little bit different in the sense that when Roseanne's creators decided to put her on the air, they were not fully expecting that she was going to do this, and it sort of undercuts the integrity of their product. Samantha B. didn't undercut the integrity of her product. This is her product. Her product is being a vile, terrible person who says vile, terrible things about people who she disagrees with, right? That is her product. So I don't see why she should be thrown off her air for promoting her product. I also don't see why Samantha B should apologize, because her apology is going to be fake anyway. So she did apologize yesterday. She put out a statement saying that she crossed a line. Her original apology is just ridiculous. She says, I would like to

3:13.1

sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe

3:17.5

her last night. It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line and I deeply regret it.

3:22.5

Okay. Do you really believe that Samantha B deeply regrets it? Or is it that advertisers were starting to drop out of her show? I don't think she deeply regrets it. I think that's a bunch of horse poop. I don't think that's correct at all. And then TBS put out its own apology. Quote, Samantha Bee has taken the right action in apologizing for the violent and inappropriate language she used about Ivanka Trump last night. those words should not have been aired. It was our mistake too and we regret it. Well, damn right, it's your mistake. Samantha B, unlike Roseanne, who's just tweeting out crazy stuff because it was late at night and Roseanne's a crazy person who takes Ambien. Okay, I actually believe her Ambien story in the sense that Roseanne is actually a crazy person than an Ambien makes crazy people crazier. It makes sane people a little bit crazier.

4:00.3

It doesn't make them racist, but if you're a little racist, it's going to make it more racist, presumably. But in any case, TBS's statement that they are responsible, this is correct. Samantha B's rant was scripted. It was put into the script. It was filmed. It was distributed. It was greenlit. Everybody at every step of the way had an opportunity to say, guys, this might be a little over the top, but they didn't because why would they? Because this is what Samantha Bee does for a living. I mean, there's nothing. And how do I know that this is fake? Here's how I know this is fake. So it demonstrates just how tied in Samantha Bee is to the mentality of the left. You know, what has happened to Samantha Bee over the last 24 hours. There was a tweet from Chris Hayes. That was just inane about Roseanne, basically saying that Roseanne's worldview represents a large segment of the Trump base or significant segments of the Trump base. That's what he had suggested. There's no evidence to suggest that at all. That large segments of the Trump base believe that Valerie Jarrett looks like an ape

4:49.2

or believe that it's appropriate to say such things in the first place. That's just absurd and there's no evidence to support it. There's pretty good evidence to support the idea that a lot of Samantha Bee's base are Hillary Clinton's base, and they all believe what Samantha Bee just said. And it's really funny. I was at a wedding for my sister over the weekend,

5:04.5

and a person who shall remain nameless came up to me

5:06.6

and was talking about politics a little bit. And at one point, actually said, I wish someone would shoot Donald Trump. And I said, are you insane? Like, why would you say that? Like, no. That's a no. But he said this in like normal conversation because this is the way a lot of

5:22.2

people on the left think. Well, this is also true for Samantha B. How do I know that this is also

5:27.7

that her apology was false and that a bunch of people defended her? Because her apology was

5:31.4

false and a bunch of people defended her. So first, her fake apology. So she sent that apology. She's so

5:36.2

sorry. Then she got an award.

5:38.5

I'm not kidding.
