Summary

Congressional leaders think they could pass a roughly $900 billion stimulus bill by the end of the week, which might include direct payments, but won't include money for states and localities. A deal can’t come soon enough: eight million Americans have been pushed into poverty since this summer, while jobless claims (and COVID cases) are rising.

The Supreme Court announced it will hear a case on compensation of athletes in the NCAA. Players think the NCAA’s cap on student athlete compensation violates antitrust laws… not to mention, college sports bring in billions in revenue each year on the backs of majority Black athletes.

And in headlines: Bezos’s ex Mackenzie Scott gave away $6 billion in 2020, Jackass guys got broke off on day two of filming, and at long last Trump gets new shower-head rules on the books.

And I'm getting arrested and this is what the day where we are calling for mall Santas

to get the vaccine immediately.

0:14.9

That's right. And I feel like if the mall Santas get the vaccine, then maybe they could

time.

That's right. We are going to be talking about our reviews of Jerry McGuire. No, we are

0:46.5

actually talking about student athletes who want to get paid and why the Supreme Court

0:50.6

is going to weigh in, then some headlines. But first the latest.

0:54.6

So what they actually come up with, we'll see. I'm understanding that it could be maybe

0:58.9

some direct payments in lieu of state and local.

1:01.8

And what would those look like? If the direct payments, because that was a big sticking

1:04.6

point, obviously, the progressives in the house really want that. So how much?

1:08.6

And then I don't know. I can't speak to that. I know it wouldn't be more than $1,200.

1:12.7

But I think it'll be in the $600, probably $500, $600 range.

1:16.4

You know, what we got now is not enough, but it is something. And I'm just simply happy

1:20.8

to say that as we enter the holiday season, when so many people are worried about how they

1:25.5

are going to pay their bills, whether they are going to get addicted, whether they are
