Hello, everyone, and welcome to Decoding TV, a podcast about television.

I'm David Chen, and joining me as usual, it's Patrick Kleppick. Patrick, how goes the summer? It's hot, so it's going. I don't know what it's like in Seattle around this time. It is also hot. It's brutally hot. People are not used to how hot it is here right now. Yeah, it's been a real spats of, it's, I mean, it's the humidity that kills you, right? Like, and so we've, we've had some, I've had some decent pool time recently, I guess is what I'll say, because it's either stay inside the, the AC, which at a certain point, like, I feel like I can taste the AC. You know what I mean like it, it's just, it's a different, but it's a different way of like being in the air. And I get so tired of it at a certain point. So I'm always trying to figure out, negotiate with my wife like, okay, I know it's pretty hot out, but like, what have we turned off the AC for the evening? And it's always like, then the entire family throws rocks at me yeah yeah well I think

we just learned you and I should not spend eight hours hanging out in AC together uh but speaking of

places that are hot the kitchen in the bear which is by the way it's probably pretty hot in there

you know we're going to be reviewing today our main review is going to be the bear season four patrick club and i have seen all ten episodes of the show and we are going to be discussing them in depth and i'm really excited to talk with you about him patrick especially because i was so extremely negative on season three of the bear which i thought was was a colossal waste of time. Have they pulled it back from the brink? We'll find out in our conversation today. Of course, we got a little bit of TV news to discuss before we get to that. So let's get into it. Patrick, let's talk about some of the TV news that's going on in the world right now. And as the first story, this is kind of a stroll-d-down memory lane.

I thought it might be some good service journalism to explain what the hell is going on with this post that Donald Trump recently made on his own personal social network, truth social.

Quote, because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our great

country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her citizenship.

She is a threat to humanity and should remain in the wonderful country of Ireland if they

want her.

God bless America.

End quote.

God bless America, by the way, all in caps with an exclamation mark at the end of it.

Of course.

Now, I want to, let's just put aside for the fact, put aside for now the fact that that's not how any of this is supposed to work.

And the president is not supposed to be able to unilaterally revoke the citizenship of people he doesn't like.

I thought it might be worth taking a step back and explaining who the hell is

Rosie O'Donnell and why does President Trump hate her?

Because it's been a while since some of this stuff has happened.

Now, Patrick Kloppock, what are your associations with Rosie O'Donnell?

Like when you think of Rosie O'Donnell, what comes to mind?

The View, which is the most recent one.
