| 0:00.0 | Sup ya beautiful bastards. Hope you have a fantastic Tuesday. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show and let's just jump into it. |
| 0:06.4 | The first thing we're to talk about today is oddly enough, there were two national news stories today about bedbugs. |
| 0:12.4 | The first that we're not going to really dive too deep into involved the president. Over the past day, |
| 0:16.0 | President Trump has suggested that his Florida resort be the next location for the next G7 summit, |
| 0:20.6 | which one resulted in some conservatives like Rick Santorum saying things like this. |
| 0:23.6 | The fact is that the president should not be doing this. He shouldn't it. It would be a violation of law as far as I understand it. |
| 0:30.6 | I hope that this is the last time he mentions it. But it also led to reports that that resort actually had a bedbug problem. |

| 1:06.2 | consideration for the next G7, spread that false and nasty rumor, not nice. So there was that. But the other bit, |
| 1:11.9 | I personally found more amusing. So if you didn't see, news broke on Monday that there was a bedbug |
| 1:15.9 | infestation at the New York Times Newsroom. And following that, David Carp, who's an associate |
| 1:19.6 | professor of media and public affairs at George Washington University, posted a tweet saying, |
| 1:23.5 | the bedbugs are a metaphor. The bedbugs are Brett Stevens. Right, so making a joke about one of the papers columnist. |
| 1:29.3 | And Stevens, a Times conservative writer, |
| 1:31.0 | who was not tagged directly in this tweet, |
