Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Chow from the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central is
America's only.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Sorts for news.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
This is the Daily Show with your host Michael Custom.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Welcome to the whole show.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Wow, I'm Michael Tassa.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
We've got so much to talk about. Can I commalize?
Putting on a festival?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Tucker Carlson makes everyone uncomfortable, And with the election just
twelve days away, everyone in America is slowly losing their minds.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
So let's get into it. Indecision twenty twenty four, with less.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Than two weeks until today, Kamala's calling in the reinforcements. Tonight,
she held a rally in Atlanta with Bruce Springsteen, Tyler Perry,
and Barack Obama. And she announced that on Friday, she'll
be joined in Houston by Beyonce.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Baby talk about it yet.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The last time Beyonce appeared on stage with the presidential
candidate was Hillary in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
So things are looking good. It's in the bay. But
don't get the wrong idea.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Donald Trump has been bringing in some special guests too.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I have never, I have never in my life, spoken
at a political rally I've covered a million of them
for over thirty years, and I've never spoken in one.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Never thought I would.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
I can't believe I'm here.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Hey, I don't want to be a hater. He's excited
for his first political rally. Seems like a perfectly reasonable
time to laugh, like an old timey villain who tied
a woman to the railroad tracks.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So let's hear what his argument is for electing Trump.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
There has to be a point at which dad comes home.
And when dad gets home, you know what he says.
You've been a bad girl. You've been a bad little girl,
and you're getting a vigorous spanking.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Right now.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
You're getting a vigorous spanking because you've been a bad girl,
and it has to be this way.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Okay, Okay, so this might be wide.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
You've never been invited to speak at a political rally
before you see America.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
These Trump people, they aren't weird.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
They just know that Trump is a big, strong daddy
that's coming home to spank us.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
All totally normal stuff. I can't wait to hear Tucker's
thoughts on the economy.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Inflation is like a babysitter and she's been naughty.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
But that's just me. Donald Trump, what are your thoughts
on Tucker's intro. I'm gonna come right right. I think
of this much.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I figured so Kamala and Trump are pulling out all
the stops to get their message out to voters, but
at this point it seems like many voters have heard enough.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
How would you describe the onslaught of political ads so
far this year?
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Chaos, complete chaos, very ridiculous, absolutely no escape.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
I mean, you go on TikTok, Facebook, It's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
We're all sick of it. I think it's overwhelming.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
It's wearing me out, and all of a sudden, it's
nothing but like legal immigrants, she's the borders are, she's
not the borders are.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
And we're just trying to get into false spirit, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yeah, yeah, Look what you've done, America.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You've ruined this man's false spirit.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
You've made him so anxious he can't even enjoy apple
picking anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I'm just getting nobody really enjoys apple picking except for me, honey.
I can't wait to go this week out.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Why would I want to sit on the couch and
watch a football game when I could ruin my shoes
to bring home seventy apples. I mean, we eat what
one apple a week? It totally makes sense that we
bring home two years worth of apples. But with the leftovers,
you can make an Apple Chris. No one has ever
made an Apple Chris. My point is there's a lot
(04:25):
of political ads, especially in the swing states.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I spent a weekend in Pennsylvania recently.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
In every single commercial break, it was Kamala Trump, Kamala Trump,
on and on and on.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I actually wept.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Tears of joy when a Cars for Kids ad came
on and then one of those kids said, Kamala Harris
wants to turn me trans And I realized, just another
campaign ad.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
And it's not just that it's annoying, this barrage of politics.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It's taking a toll on our mental health.
Speaker 9 (04:54):
A new poll from the American Psychiatric Association finds that
seventy three percent of people surveyed cite the election as
a source of anxiety. Thirty one percent said they're fearful
when thinking about the election now. A separate survey done
by Pew Research found the majority of Americans feel exhausted
when thinking about politics.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Most said it made them feel angry.
Speaker 10 (05:14):
People's fearful bowel syndrome is flaring.
Speaker 11 (05:16):
That happens every.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Election cycle, irit old bowel syndrome.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
This election is so scary Americans are literally shitting themselves athout.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
We got some sufferers in the audience that I.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Although this does work as a convenient excuse, you can
leave the bathroom at your friend's place, like sorry about
the smell election year. But if you ask me, there's
one major sign that America has lost its mind this election,
and that sign is our behavior around well signs.
Speaker 9 (05:53):
They've been snatched from yards, burnt to pieces. In another
critical battleground state, Wisconsin, police receiving several reports of stolen
and vandalized signs, one letter left behind saying voting for
Kamala Harris will lead to blood on your hands. Trump's
supporter Ben Ganther says he isn't taking any chances after
he had one of his signs stolen and another sign
cut through.
Speaker 12 (06:14):
They didn't get the Trump sign this time because I
had wrapped it in chicken wire.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Man, are we really stealing signs? Now?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
You know that person can still vote. It's not like
if you take the sign off their lawn. They're gonna
be like, huh, I forgot who to vote for?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
What's that sign? Say, deer crossing. I guess I'll vote
for deer crossing.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
I don't know the only thing more deranged than stealing
someone's sign is the lengths that some people are going
to prevent that sign from being stolen.
Speaker 9 (06:44):
A resident in Leesburg, Virginia, took matters into his own hands,
sparking panic after rigging his anti Harris sign with tripwire
and alarms. In Tempe, Arizona, police arresting sixty year old
Jeffrey Michael Kelly for hanging multiple anti Harris signs with
white powder and razor blades attached.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
All right, you guys are really going to kill someone
over a campaign sign? Pace yourself.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
The Civil War doesn't start for a few weeks. But
Jesus Christ Fellas, maybe it's time for a hobby. No,
I never I thought I thought I'd say this, But
if you tried apple picking.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
My wife is looking for someone to go with.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
But Trump supporters better watch out with their anthracs and
their razor blades, because Democrats can hit back just as hard.
Speaker 10 (07:28):
John Scarborough had a sign showing support for Vice President
Harris and his garden until one night it disappeared.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
I got some gold crafted glitter, mixed it up with
some vasoline, and I smeared it on all four edges.
You know, I don't want anybody to get hurt, but
at least want them to understand that actions have consequences.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yep, and there's the election in a nutshell.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
The Republican strategy is to kill you, and the Democratic
strategy is merely kind of gay.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Although hello, to be fair, if you.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Tried to get glitter out of anything, I'd rather grab
razor blades, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And you don't have to booby trap a sign to
stop a thief. You just have to get high tech.
Speaker 9 (08:10):
Missouri resident Laura McCaskill putting an Apple air tag on
her Harris Walls signs after she says Steves stole them
three times?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Did you open the tent of your vehicle and show us.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
That it's not there?
Speaker 9 (08:20):
Using the GPS to track down these young men and
their mother, all this cameras rolled.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I'm sorry, this is funny.
Speaker 13 (08:27):
Why don't you just take.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Them all here?
Speaker 12 (08:29):
You go?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Liberals, Well, it's more than that, Actually it's not.
Speaker 13 (08:33):
It's so stupid.
Speaker 9 (08:34):
Just go vote.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
It's a felony, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's not. It actually is.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I'm tired of hold on, hold on, you're giving them
attitude for the stuff your son stole. That's the law
and order party for you. No, see when we can
make crimes. It's funny, okay, But honestly.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I'm disappointed at these high school kids.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
They're spending their Saturday nights going around stealing political yard signs.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
There are my kids.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I'd be like, you go up to your room and
you smoke weed like a normal teenage boy.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, the way I did.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
But I don't want to give you the idea that
everyone is stealing yard signs, No, because some people are
actually adding them. A Davis voter is raising concerns after
a ups driver was caught on camera leaving opposing political
signs on her lawn.
Speaker 10 (09:26):
The driver here seeing walking up on the property leaving
about ten tiny Trump flags.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
When Shelley Bales checked the lawn of her Davis home,
she found these nearly a dozen small flags supporting former
President Donald Trump's twenty twenty four campaign.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Ah, make America cute again? Seriously, you call that a magaflag.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Good luck beating a police officer unconscious with that?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
What are you even helping to achieve? With a flag
that's small?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
You think someone's gonna be walking by like wellos, I
dropped my keys and I don't even know who.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
To vote for. Hey, I have an idea.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
You know the problem with all these people stealing signs,
they face no repercussions.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Tucker Carlson was right. These people need a vigorous spanking.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Yeah yeah, these men, these men need their exposed bottom spanked,
bright and rosy red.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I'm gonna come.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, we know, we look, here's the bottom line.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I know we don't like these elections the last two
years and cost a billion dollars, but we've got to
learn to deal with it. And don't give me the oh,
what if we had shorter elections that cost less money.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
That's just not how democracy works.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Okay, unless, of course, you're talking about Canada or France,
or Britain or Germany or Australia or every other democracy
on earth except for ours. Don't worry if you feel
like you can't take it for another two weeks.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
There is one new service that has a solution.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Millions are crossing our board the second Trump term.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Are you stressed and exhausted from this endless campaign, then
you need hole for just twelve ninety nine a day.
We'll drive you into an empty field and throw you
into a hole, deep down in the dark. You'll be
free from the flood of political noise, experience a piece
you haven't felt in years. Kamala, who Trump?
Speaker 11 (11:31):
What?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
They don't exist?
Speaker 7 (11:33):
There is only hole. Using cutting edge technology, we will
build hole to your specifications and you'll have everything you
need to get through the election. Hungary, We'll throw a
bucket of votes into a hole.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Need you use the bathroom?
Speaker 7 (11:48):
Just go in hole. Feeling horny, dig a smaller hole
and go to town. Just listen to these satisfied customers.
Speaker 13 (11:56):
I'm slowly losing my mind in this hole, but it's
still better than deleting new to Pelosi's texts.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Thank you, Hole, I'm never leaving.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
You at now, and receive our deluxe whole package. Fill
up whole with you in it. Yes, whole, it's a whole.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Ye, I'll welcome back.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
We'll find out if nerds, if it's Trump, don't go away.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Welcome back to the Beta show.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
The campaigns are targeting all sorts of micro demographics in
these last two weeks, Ronnie Chang sat down the one
that's been getting some unexpected attention.
Speaker 14 (12:48):
People have a lot of names for jd.
Speaker 11 (12:50):
Vance, weirdo, oddball, so to f I'd freak seven days
a week.
Speaker 14 (12:54):
But does he deserve this reputation?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Thanks everything? Yeah, it'll be a lot of ways to
pretticle stuff.
Speaker 14 (13:01):
So these several rules whatever makes sense.
Speaker 11 (13:05):
Nothing about the way he did that makes anything sense.
And recently Vance's wife out at him on national TV
for something even weirder.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
He has all sorts of dorky interests.
Speaker 15 (13:15):
I want him to explain what the dorky habits he had.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
She said, he's gonna kill me for saying this.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
But it's Magic the Gathering, which was a card game.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It's similar to like Pokemon.
Speaker 11 (13:24):
That's right before JD. Vance was a powerful political shape shifter.
He played Magic the Gathering, a collectible card game that's
been around since the nineties. So we magically gathered a
bunch of cod carrying dogs to see how they thought
Vance's allegiance would affect their community. So what is Magic
the Gathering and how would you explain it to someone.
Speaker 14 (13:47):
Who doesn't give a fuck about any of this year?
Speaker 10 (13:49):
It's a turn based card game. You get resources called manna,
you get those by plane lands or other sources, and
then you generally like will play creatures and then that's
what you used to attack your opponent, and you try
to accumulate evans over time.
Speaker 11 (14:01):
Right, and at what point do you grow up and
stop playing this shit? But how do these supernerds feel
about one of their own trying to move out of
his mom's basement and into the White House. Are you
worried that Jdvan's playing Magic will make you guys seem weird? No?
Speaker 13 (14:17):
No, No, he's a magic player, so either step up.
In my book, you need a certain level of intelligence
to play Magic, yep.
Speaker 10 (14:24):
Because you're making a whole bunch of tactical decisions based
on what's going on.
Speaker 11 (14:27):
Why, like being able to decide like I don't ever
want to have a woman touch me. I would rather
play with some dudes in a smelly room.
Speaker 13 (14:35):
It doesn't always well invest in here.
Speaker 11 (14:37):
That's also I mean that his favorite strategy was something sinister.
Speaker 14 (14:41):
I think I still don't understand this game.
Speaker 11 (14:44):
Jdvan said that when he played Magic the Gathering, his
favorite deck was yog Mouff's boggain, What.
Speaker 14 (14:53):
Does this mean?
Speaker 10 (14:55):
It's a commo deck where you get to trade your
life away for power.
Speaker 13 (14:58):
He's doing what he needs to win, and if he's
been a dirty Yagma player, so is Yagma's boggin disqualifying
the way like a fellow shouldn't be president.
Speaker 16 (15:08):
I probably wouldn't trust someone if they're willing to sacrifice
so much just to get ahead.
Speaker 14 (15:14):
Like how JD.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
Vans spend years talking about Trump and then totally flit
and it's now running with him.
Speaker 10 (15:19):
Yeah, people who played it one pretty much too much
for it to be fun anymore.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
You could draw twenty cards if you want, which gives
you a ton of advantage.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
You can't be touched for a whole turn.
Speaker 14 (15:28):
I wouldn't worry about that.
Speaker 11 (15:29):
I'm pretty sure that effect is in play independent of cards.
But was Vance's nerd credit enough to work a little
magic in the voting group?
Speaker 14 (15:38):
Who here is voting for Trump? Vance? Who here is
voting for Harris Waltz? Oh? And undecided voters?
Speaker 11 (15:53):
What are you gonna do? Get in a voting move
and roll a twenty sided die?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Benk babe?
Speaker 11 (15:58):
What's harder to explain to your family being an undecided
voter or being an adult man who plays magic together.
Speaker 14 (16:07):
Big undecided voter.
Speaker 13 (16:08):
Actually, my parents are Haitian like born and raised, so
they're like.
Speaker 14 (16:12):
What do you mean we don't eat cats?
Speaker 11 (16:15):
But like, did you tell parents that Jjdvans also played
magic the gathering?
Speaker 13 (16:19):
No, but I don't think that's gonna sway them.
Speaker 11 (16:22):
Well, have these wizards and warlocks really undecided? I needed
to explain politics in a way they could understand. Using
a custom electure twenty twenty four magic deck, I gave
these dorito munchos some truth to snack on.
Speaker 14 (16:36):
I summon Jdvans to boy and wonder.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
When JD Van's boy wander enters the battlefield, all Haitian
creatures are returned to their owner's lands.
Speaker 13 (16:47):
That's pretty from So.
Speaker 11 (16:51):
Yeah, you thinking a little more decided now, I think
so one down, three to go. However, these players were
teaching me a valuable lesson that will all losers, but
especially then you.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Want a creature like that gets exiled, you can choose,
if it's your commander, to put it back in the
command zone or leave it there.
Speaker 14 (17:10):
How do I lose quickly choose wrong?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, I tooth wrong. Pick a number one, two, three
or four? Okay?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
All right?
Speaker 14 (17:15):
Ready on one, two three? I picked three iphick two
all right, so RFK Junior and Emon must die great.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I will pass the tim Please swamp.
Speaker 14 (17:26):
I'll go find an island.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Can you you're not even having a little bit of fun.
Speaker 11 (17:30):
I am having absolutely no funk time to do with
all favor and January sixth, the shit.
Speaker 14 (17:38):
Game over, Nerds.
Speaker 11 (17:39):
Now go vote and don't tell anyone I wasn't smart
enough to understand your dumb.
Speaker 12 (17:44):
Da Thank you running when we come back back, Joe,
if you're joining me on the shows, you don't go away.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Welcome Doctor Dash, my guest tonight, is a Grammy nominated
artist whose New Stars series is called Fat Joe Talks.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
He's also a healthcare reform advocate working with Power to
the Patients. Please welcome Fat Joe. Yes, yes, Fat Joe
(18:45):
in the house Bronx from the Bronx.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Let's go Yankees, Let's go Yankee?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Who Fat Joe?
Speaker 4 (18:54):
I got to admit when I was introduced to you
many years ago, you looked a lot different than right now.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Are you still more jandsome? Now? You are more handsome? Now?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
All right?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Thank you brother, Are you still not fat Joe anymore?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 16 (19:08):
I lost a lot of weight. Man, I'm trying to
stick around. Man, Okay, like so beautiful.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Tell me about tell me about that journey. I think
a lot of people can connect with that.
Speaker 10 (19:19):
Well.
Speaker 16 (19:19):
I lost a lot of weight, you know, I think
on one at in two different layers. You know, I
lost a lot of friends of minees at a young age,
especially big punt, and I lost maybe one hundred and
fifty pounds, and then I went back at it again
and lost like maybe another one hundred one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (19:41):
The hardest thing you've done is Nah, going to the
hip hop industry, the hardest thing you've done.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
What's the hardest thing you've done?
Speaker 16 (19:48):
Well, the hardest thing I've done is trying to get
a law passed in Washington, DC for healthcare price.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
That's been my hardest.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
It was easier to lose two hundred and fifty pounds
to get a law passed and washing it.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, you know, you just want to live for me.
Speaker 16 (20:07):
I've done it for so long already that it's just
a way of life.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
You know.
Speaker 16 (20:11):
We cut cabs whenever we eat defensively Now so we
stay off the rights, off the pasta off the you know,
and work out, you know, and stay active and you know.
But you know, getting the law passed in Washington is
harder than losing two hundred and fifty pounds.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
That's not defense, that's offense.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
That's major offense.
Speaker 16 (20:32):
I remember the first time I went to Washington, d C.
A journalist met me at the stairs like, fat Joe,
what are you doing here? I was like, Yo, I'm
coming to get this stuff. She was like, good luck,
that's never going to happen in Washington. But we've been
getting a great reception. We started with one politician I
believe it was Guthha Gufree from Kentucky. Now, last time
(20:54):
I went over there, I had about ninety one hundred
Congressmen and senator is there and we're supporting the Senator
bron Bernie Sanders bill for healthcare price transparency. So you know,
this is the only thing you go anywhere in the
world you don't get a price for it. There's over
one hundred million Americans in debt due to healthcare price transparency.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
So it's real in every family.
Speaker 16 (21:19):
And so you want to create a system where they
tell you the price is so we can know where
we go, like if we know we're going for MRI.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Believe it or not, There's people going to the same.
Speaker 16 (21:30):
Hospitals every day getting the same procedure by the same doctor.
Somebody's paying twelve thousand, somebody's paying two thousand, somebody's playing
five thouars.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
It ain't even discrimination. It's just highway robbery.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Right, You don't see it'd be interesting if the doctor
came in like little menu. I mean, am I right
a hip replacement?
Speaker 16 (21:51):
But do you just want to create a competitive system
to where like anything else you want to know and
you look at your three leading hospitals in your area
and get it for the right price.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
And that's what power to the patients? Yes, advocates for Yeah, yeah,
So tell me exactly what power for the patients is?
Speaker 16 (22:10):
Powers to the patients? Is an organization just fighting for
the American people?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
You know?
Speaker 16 (22:15):
O two found this Kevin Mora and Cynthia Fisher. Cynthia
had employees that worked for her for twenty years and
never bothered her about anything. And finally she sees the man,
the gentleman crying and he was like so embarrassed to
tell her he don't know whether to send his daughter
to college or pay for his wife's hospital Bill Man.
(22:36):
And so there's actually people I come from the Bronx.
There's people afraid to go to the hospital to get
health coverage because they're afraid of what the price is
going to be in the lawn run, because this is
like you're just pulling in the hat coming out with whatever.
So that's why you see people limping across the streets.
You see people struggling, and then it just like a
(22:57):
snow pillows and before you know it, you're in real trouble.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
So if you get the change that you're advocating for,
a patient would now know the upfront costs at various
hospitals of a procedure.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
As well as enforcing it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Okay, that's key.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
We don't. We hate to admit it.
Speaker 16 (23:16):
But Donald Trump passed similar law, right, but they never
enforced I'm just telling you, of course, yes, no, yeah,
I'm obviously not a Trumper, but you know, he passed
a similar law which is not the strongest Senator broad
or on Bernie Sanders, but they never enforced it. So
(23:36):
the hospital's got a way. We're still moving the way
they move it.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
You got to have the press release, you got to
have the headline moment.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
But they didn't actually enforce that.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
So if a patient knows what these things cost, they
can make a more educated decision, because I got to
be honest. I go to the hospital and you kind
of check in I have insurance. I'm one of the
lucky people that and then I leave. I get some
shit in the mail that has a huge number on it,
but I don't even pay that. I always just feel
like it's the secret language between the hospital and the
insurance company.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Man, let me tell you something.
Speaker 16 (24:07):
There's a guy who went to the hospital for EpiPen
and they charged him eighteen thousand. He went online and
saw it for like one hundred dollars online.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Yeah, I think it's a guy in my subway stop.
It'll give it to him for twenty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Hey, maybe that's the guy who's selling me my OZEMPI.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
I know.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Well, and I want to talk to you in a
second about talking to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
But you mentioned ozepic and.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Astonishingly some reversed diagnosis of your type two diabetes.
Speaker 16 (24:43):
That why can you share that? Well, I don't give
all credit to that. But twelve years old, I was diabetic,
juvenile diabetes. I never knew in the hood that you
could actually lose weight and get rid of the diabetes.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
They never told me that.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I don't think a lot of people understand that now.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
They was just giving me insulin and for years.
Speaker 16 (25:05):
So once I started losing the weight one hundred and
fifty pounds of this, I'm working out twice a day.
My doctor tells me one day, you don't have diabetes,
you don't have to take the insulin. I wind up
arguing with my doctor. I'm like, yo, give me my insulin.
You're trying to kill me. Like nah, you're doing great,
you got rid of away. You don't need And then recently,
(25:25):
in the last maybe like two years or something like that,
the doctor was like, well, you ain't working out two
times a day, no more, Joe. You got to take
some ozempic. And so due to diabetes, you know, and
blood sugars. You know, I've been on that oz empic.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Okay, and you're healthy and strong and good. You're looking good.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I feel great.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, okay, great, let's talk about It's funny. It's funny
when a doctor gives you good news, we start questioning,
you know him or her.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I always look the diploma on the wall. Where exactly
did they go? You know, Costa Rica.
Speaker 16 (26:04):
I have the coolest doctor in the world, doctor Jean.
They've been down in Miami. He saved my life. And
so I go in there hang out with him and
just talk and hang out in the office with him,
and you know, just he's like a buddy. What the
problem is when you invite your doctor for Thanksgiving dinner?
One night he came to my house and I was
(26:26):
I ate, like two olives for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Looking at me, I'm like, that's like this, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Damn yeah, I'm.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Thinking up the place.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
You just had an opportunity at the b et hip
hop or words to interview Vice.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
President Kamala Harris. How did it go?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
First of all, wain't great.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Politicians politicians I don't want to say struggle. Maybe they're
confused or maybe they try very hard to reach the
black and brown men commune unity.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
What can they do? Are they doing the right stuff?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I would think?
Speaker 16 (27:05):
So it depends on what you know you're looking for,
you know, and some people, of course, the black and
brown community has been disenfranchised for many many years. But
the men, I don't know. You know, this race just
boils down to will a man vote.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
For a woman? That's all. It boils down to.
Speaker 16 (27:28):
I've done read the analytics, and every which way, shape
or form is the obvious person to vote for.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Now are you going to be man enough to vote
for a woman?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Right?
Speaker 11 (27:41):
We them?
Speaker 8 (27:43):
I like them?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
What I like.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
About you, In fact, Joe is not every artist is
willing to share opinions like that, because there's a lot
of people to buy music.
Speaker 16 (27:56):
But you know, I'm a business man, and so every
time I say stuff like this. The minute I said that,
I said, okay, I'm gonna get threatened by my Republican partners.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I mean, they get furious. I don't even got to
state nothing.
Speaker 16 (28:09):
They see me, you know, they you know, I have
friends on the Republican side who.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Want to save money in taxes.
Speaker 16 (28:18):
And then I think about where I came from and
the less fortunate people and women's reproductive rights and so forth,
and so my heart leans morally to where I got
to be. So but every time I say it, right.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Your new talk series, Fat Joe Talks, that's right. You
talk to celebrities like method Man, But also politicians like
Hakeem Jeffries and that's a good one. Yeah, well tell
me is it important to talk to you? Did you
tackle all different types of people on purpose?
Speaker 16 (28:55):
Well, you know, yeah, for sure, Fat Joe talking. I'm available,
Fat Joe talk, gotcha. And so you know, I get
into it with Hakim Jeffries, the leader, and I asked
him if the Aliens were real. I mean this guy
would know, right. I'm like, yo, tell me about the
aliens man. And so I'm just having fun and just
(29:18):
interviewing icons. This week we got It's on the Stars Network,
Go get the app. We got Mary J. Blige. This
week we got strictly icons. And my platform is all
about inspiration, bringing inspiration and positive vibes to you.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
It's crazy.
Speaker 16 (29:37):
I did an interview earlier with the newspaper out in
LA and they were asking me about the show, and
I'm like, this is positivity. We tell you our story,
where we came from, all the adversary, how we get
through it. We're bringing up the youth so they could
be inspired and they could see that it's possible. And
then my publicist gets on the phone, it says, you
got time for one more question? The woman acces me
(29:59):
the most controversial question you heard in your life, I said, miss,
I've been talking you for half an hour, haven't you
heard me? See, A good journalist is a good listener.
You gotta listen to the talent what you say.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
I'm sorry, you gotta listen. So right, But Big Joe,
but Fat Joe likes to talk. So are you doing talking?
Are you doing listening? You're doing everything.
Speaker 16 (30:21):
I'm doing a little bit of both because I really
like to talk, and so you're good at it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, I'm really good at it, and I like to
jump in. But I learned.
Speaker 16 (30:30):
I learned how to just let the let the artist,
the person talk, give me their perspective, and then I
lean in. But I normally you won't get one word
in in the house. And if you ever heard of
this guy called DJ Khalid, you won't get a word in.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Be me and DJ I can't like yo, like, hey.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Yo, all he's saying is his name over and over.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Oh no, yeah, it's calig.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I don't get to talk to a lot of hip
hop stars. So I gotta ask you.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
When I see a video and everybody's got the money
in the is that real money?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
On set. Is that fake money?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Actually is?
Speaker 16 (31:06):
I think it's fake money most of the time.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
So my wife told me.
Speaker 16 (31:11):
We got back from I hosted the BET Hip Hop
Awards and I did my song making range. So these
girls were throwing like money, and so my wife said,
I found a bunch of money in your pocket.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I said, yeah, did you look at it?
Speaker 16 (31:23):
She looked at it and had Fat Joe's face. That
ain't gonna get your care. That ain't gonna get you
a candy bar?
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Right, I love you haven't had a solo album in
fourteen years. All right, Now you're working with healthcare reform
to have more healthcare transparency.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Can you be transparent with us? Is there a new
Fat Joe album coming up?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yes, there is. It's called The World Changed.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
It's almost like I knew it.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
It's cool. The world changed on me.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Oh, the world change.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I feel like I'm the last ungentrified.
Speaker 16 (32:00):
I got the bodega, I got the bow dagga on
the blot. Hell No, we won't go and we just
gonna keep this real hip hop alive. I look at
the world changed on me. It's pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I look forward to it. Thank you for chatting.

And I wish I'd put it on tape. But every
time I think, I say, oh, I'd love these convers

could tell you. Here's the problem. Every time I think
about putting I want.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
To tape every conversation.

Welcome to the whole show.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Wow, I'm Michael Tassa.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
We've got so much to talk about. Can I commalize?
Putting on a festival?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Tucker Carlson makes everyone uncomfortable, And with the election just
twelve days away, everyone in America is slowly losing their minds.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
So let's get into it. Indecision twenty twenty four, with less.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Than two weeks until today, Kamala's calling in the reinforcements. Tonight,
she held a rally in Atlanta with Bruce Springsteen, Tyler Perry,
and Barack Obama. And she announced that on Friday, she'll
be joined in Houston by Beyonce.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Baby talk about it yet.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The last time Beyonce appeared on stage with the presidential
candidate was Hillary in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
So things are looking good. It's in the bay. But
don't get the wrong idea.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Donald Trump has been bringing in some special guests too.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I have never, I have never in my life, spoken
at a political rally I've covered a million of them
for over thirty years, and I've never spoken in one.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Never thought I would.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
I can't believe I'm here.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Hey, I don't want to be a hater. He's excited
for his first political rally. Seems like a perfectly reasonable
time to laugh, like an old timey villain who tied
a woman to the railroad tracks.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So let's hear what his argument is for electing Trump.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
There has to be a point at which dad comes home.
And when dad gets home, you know what he says.
You've been a bad girl. You've been a bad little girl,
and you're getting a vigorous spanking.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Right now.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
You're getting a vigorous spanking because you've been a bad girl,
and it has to be this way.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Okay, Okay, so this might be wide.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
You've never been invited to speak at a political rally
before you see America.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
These Trump people, they aren't weird.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
They just know that Trump is a big, strong daddy
that's coming home to spank us.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
All totally normal stuff. I can't wait to hear Tucker's
thoughts on the economy.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Inflation is like a babysitter and she's been naughty.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
But that's just me. Donald Trump, what are your thoughts
on Tucker's intro. I'm gonna come right right. I think
of this much.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I figured so Kamala and Trump are pulling out all
the stops to get their message out to voters, but
at this point it seems like many voters have heard enough.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
How would you describe the onslaught of political ads so
far this year?
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Chaos, complete chaos, very ridiculous, absolutely no escape.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
I mean, you go on TikTok, Facebook, It's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
We're all sick of it. I think it's overwhelming.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
It's wearing me out, and all of a sudden, it's
nothing but like legal immigrants, she's the borders are, she's
not the borders are.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
And we're just trying to get into false spirit, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yeah, yeah, Look what you've done, America.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You've ruined this man's false spirit.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
You've made him so anxious he can't even enjoy apple
picking anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I'm just getting nobody really enjoys apple picking except for me, honey.
I can't wait to go this week out.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Why would I want to sit on the couch and
watch a football game when I could ruin my shoes
to bring home seventy apples. I mean, we eat what
one apple a week? It totally makes sense that we
bring home two years worth of apples. But with the leftovers,
you can make an Apple Chris. No one has ever
made an Apple Chris. My point is there's a lot
(04:25):
of political ads, especially in the swing states.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I spent a weekend in Pennsylvania recently.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
In every single commercial break, it was Kamala Trump, Kamala Trump,
on and on and on.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I actually wept.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Tears of joy when a Cars for Kids ad came
on and then one of those kids said, Kamala Harris
wants to turn me trans And I realized, just another
campaign ad.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
And it's not just that it's annoying, this barrage of politics.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It's taking a toll on our mental health.
Speaker 9 (04:54):
A new poll from the American Psychiatric Association finds that
seventy three percent of people surveyed cite the election as
a source of anxiety. Thirty one percent said they're fearful
when thinking about the election now. A separate survey done
by Pew Research found the majority of Americans feel exhausted
when thinking about politics.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Most said it made them feel angry.
Speaker 10 (05:14):
People's fearful bowel syndrome is flaring.
Speaker 11 (05:16):
That happens every.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Election cycle, irit old bowel syndrome.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
This election is so scary Americans are literally shitting themselves athout.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
We got some sufferers in the audience that I.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Although this does work as a convenient excuse, you can
leave the bathroom at your friend's place, like sorry about
the smell election year. But if you ask me, there's
one major sign that America has lost its mind this election,
and that sign is our behavior around well signs.
Speaker 9 (05:53):
They've been snatched from yards, burnt to pieces. In another
critical battleground state, Wisconsin, police receiving several reports of stolen
and vandalized signs, one letter left behind saying voting for
Kamala Harris will lead to blood on your hands. Trump's
supporter Ben Ganther says he isn't taking any chances after
he had one of his signs stolen and another sign
cut through.
Speaker 12 (06:14):
They didn't get the Trump sign this time because I
had wrapped it in chicken wire.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Man, are we really stealing signs? Now?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
You know that person can still vote. It's not like
if you take the sign off their lawn. They're gonna
be like, huh, I forgot who to vote for?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
What's that sign? Say, deer crossing. I guess I'll vote
for deer crossing.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
I don't know the only thing more deranged than stealing
someone's sign is the lengths that some people are going
to prevent that sign from being stolen.
Speaker 9 (06:44):
A resident in Leesburg, Virginia, took matters into his own hands,
sparking panic after rigging his anti Harris sign with tripwire
and alarms. In Tempe, Arizona, police arresting sixty year old
Jeffrey Michael Kelly for hanging multiple anti Harris signs with
white powder and razor blades attached.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
All right, you guys are really going to kill someone
over a campaign sign? Pace yourself.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
The Civil War doesn't start for a few weeks. But
Jesus Christ Fellas, maybe it's time for a hobby. No,
I never I thought I thought I'd say this, But
if you tried apple picking.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
My wife is looking for someone to go with.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
But Trump supporters better watch out with their anthracs and
their razor blades, because Democrats can hit back just as hard.
Speaker 10 (07:28):
John Scarborough had a sign showing support for Vice President
Harris and his garden until one night it disappeared.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
I got some gold crafted glitter, mixed it up with
some vasoline, and I smeared it on all four edges.
You know, I don't want anybody to get hurt, but
at least want them to understand that actions have consequences.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yep, and there's the election in a nutshell.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
The Republican strategy is to kill you, and the Democratic
strategy is merely kind of gay.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Although hello, to be fair, if you.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Tried to get glitter out of anything, I'd rather grab
razor blades, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And you don't have to booby trap a sign to
stop a thief. You just have to get high tech.
Speaker 9 (08:10):
Missouri resident Laura McCaskill putting an Apple air tag on
her Harris Walls signs after she says Steves stole them
three times?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Did you open the tent of your vehicle and show us.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
That it's not there?
Speaker 9 (08:20):
Using the GPS to track down these young men and
their mother, all this cameras rolled.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I'm sorry, this is funny.
Speaker 13 (08:27):
Why don't you just take.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Them all here?
Speaker 12 (08:29):
You go?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Liberals, Well, it's more than that, Actually it's not.
Speaker 13 (08:33):
It's so stupid.
Speaker 9 (08:34):
Just go vote.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
It's a felony, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's not. It actually is.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I'm tired of hold on, hold on, you're giving them
attitude for the stuff your son stole. That's the law
and order party for you. No, see when we can
make crimes. It's funny, okay, But honestly.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I'm disappointed at these high school kids.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
They're spending their Saturday nights going around stealing political yard signs.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
There are my kids.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I'd be like, you go up to your room and
you smoke weed like a normal teenage boy.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, the way I did.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
But I don't want to give you the idea that
everyone is stealing yard signs, No, because some people are
actually adding them. A Davis voter is raising concerns after
a ups driver was caught on camera leaving opposing political
signs on her lawn.
Speaker 10 (09:26):
The driver here seeing walking up on the property leaving
about ten tiny Trump flags.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
When Shelley Bales checked the lawn of her Davis home,
she found these nearly a dozen small flags supporting former
President Donald Trump's twenty twenty four campaign.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Ah, make America cute again? Seriously, you call that a magaflag.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Good luck beating a police officer unconscious with that?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
What are you even helping to achieve? With a flag
that's small?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
You think someone's gonna be walking by like wellos, I
dropped my keys and I don't even know who.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
To vote for. Hey, I have an idea.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
You know the problem with all these people stealing signs,
they face no repercussions.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Tucker Carlson was right. These people need a vigorous spanking.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Yeah yeah, these men, these men need their exposed bottom spanked,
bright and rosy red.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I'm gonna come.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, we know, we look, here's the bottom line.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I know we don't like these elections the last two
years and cost a billion dollars, but we've got to
learn to deal with it. And don't give me the oh,
what if we had shorter elections that cost less money.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
That's just not how democracy works.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Okay, unless, of course, you're talking about Canada or France,
or Britain or Germany or Australia or every other democracy
on earth except for ours. Don't worry if you feel
like you can't take it for another two weeks.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
There is one new service that has a solution.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Millions are crossing our board the second Trump term.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Are you stressed and exhausted from this endless campaign, then
you need hole for just twelve ninety nine a day.
We'll drive you into an empty field and throw you
into a hole, deep down in the dark. You'll be
free from the flood of political noise, experience a piece
you haven't felt in years. Kamala, who Trump?
Speaker 11 (11:31):
What?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
They don't exist?
Speaker 7 (11:33):
There is only hole. Using cutting edge technology, we will
build hole to your specifications and you'll have everything you
need to get through the election. Hungary, We'll throw a
bucket of votes into a hole.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Need you use the bathroom?
Speaker 7 (11:48):
Just go in hole. Feeling horny, dig a smaller hole
and go to town. Just listen to these satisfied customers.
Speaker 13 (11:56):
I'm slowly losing my mind in this hole, but it's
still better than deleting new to Pelosi's texts.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Thank you, Hole, I'm never leaving.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
You at now, and receive our deluxe whole package. Fill
up whole with you in it. Yes, whole, it's a whole.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Ye, I'll welcome back.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
We'll find out if nerds, if it's Trump, don't go away.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Welcome back to the Beta show.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
The campaigns are targeting all sorts of micro demographics in
these last two weeks, Ronnie Chang sat down the one
that's been getting some unexpected attention.
Speaker 14 (12:48):
People have a lot of names for jd.
Speaker 11 (12:50):
Vance, weirdo, oddball, so to f I'd freak seven days
a week.
Speaker 14 (12:54):
But does he deserve this reputation?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Thanks everything? Yeah, it'll be a lot of ways to
pretticle stuff.
Speaker 14 (13:01):
So these several rules whatever makes sense.
Speaker 11 (13:05):
Nothing about the way he did that makes anything sense.
And recently Vance's wife out at him on national TV
for something even weirder.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
He has all sorts of dorky interests.
Speaker 15 (13:15):
I want him to explain what the dorky habits he had.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
She said, he's gonna kill me for saying this.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
But it's Magic the Gathering, which was a card game.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It's similar to like Pokemon.
Speaker 11 (13:24):
That's right before JD. Vance was a powerful political shape shifter.
He played Magic the Gathering, a collectible card game that's
been around since the nineties. So we magically gathered a
bunch of cod carrying dogs to see how they thought
Vance's allegiance would affect their community. So what is Magic
the Gathering and how would you explain it to someone.
Speaker 14 (13:47):
Who doesn't give a fuck about any of this year?
Speaker 10 (13:49):
It's a turn based card game. You get resources called manna,
you get those by plane lands or other sources, and
then you generally like will play creatures and then that's
what you used to attack your opponent, and you try
to accumulate evans over time.
Speaker 11 (14:01):
Right, and at what point do you grow up and
stop playing this shit? But how do these supernerds feel
about one of their own trying to move out of
his mom's basement and into the White House. Are you
worried that Jdvan's playing Magic will make you guys seem weird? No?
Speaker 13 (14:17):
No, No, he's a magic player, so either step up.
In my book, you need a certain level of intelligence
to play Magic, yep.
Speaker 10 (14:24):
Because you're making a whole bunch of tactical decisions based
on what's going on.
Speaker 11 (14:27):
Why, like being able to decide like I don't ever
want to have a woman touch me. I would rather
play with some dudes in a smelly room.
Speaker 13 (14:35):
It doesn't always well invest in here.
Speaker 11 (14:37):
That's also I mean that his favorite strategy was something sinister.
Speaker 14 (14:41):
I think I still don't understand this game.
Speaker 11 (14:44):
Jdvan said that when he played Magic the Gathering, his
favorite deck was yog Mouff's boggain, What.
Speaker 14 (14:53):
Does this mean?
Speaker 10 (14:55):
It's a commo deck where you get to trade your
life away for power.
Speaker 13 (14:58):
He's doing what he needs to win, and if he's
been a dirty Yagma player, so is Yagma's boggin disqualifying
the way like a fellow shouldn't be president.
Speaker 16 (15:08):
I probably wouldn't trust someone if they're willing to sacrifice
so much just to get ahead.
Speaker 14 (15:14):
Like how JD.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
Vans spend years talking about Trump and then totally flit
and it's now running with him.
Speaker 10 (15:19):
Yeah, people who played it one pretty much too much
for it to be fun anymore.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
You could draw twenty cards if you want, which gives
you a ton of advantage.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
You can't be touched for a whole turn.
Speaker 14 (15:28):
I wouldn't worry about that.
Speaker 11 (15:29):
I'm pretty sure that effect is in play independent of cards.
But was Vance's nerd credit enough to work a little
magic in the voting group?
Speaker 14 (15:38):
Who here is voting for Trump? Vance? Who here is
voting for Harris Waltz? Oh? And undecided voters?
Speaker 11 (15:53):
What are you gonna do? Get in a voting move
and roll a twenty sided die?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Benk babe?
Speaker 11 (15:58):
What's harder to explain to your family being an undecided
voter or being an adult man who plays magic together.
Speaker 14 (16:07):
Big undecided voter.
Speaker 13 (16:08):
Actually, my parents are Haitian like born and raised, so
they're like.
Speaker 14 (16:12):
What do you mean we don't eat cats?
Speaker 11 (16:15):
But like, did you tell parents that Jjdvans also played
magic the gathering?
Speaker 13 (16:19):
No, but I don't think that's gonna sway them.
Speaker 11 (16:22):
Well, have these wizards and warlocks really undecided? I needed
to explain politics in a way they could understand. Using
a custom electure twenty twenty four magic deck, I gave
these dorito munchos some truth to snack on.
Speaker 14 (16:36):
I summon Jdvans to boy and wonder.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
When JD Van's boy wander enters the battlefield, all Haitian
creatures are returned to their owner's lands.
Speaker 13 (16:47):
That's pretty from So.
Speaker 11 (16:51):
Yeah, you thinking a little more decided now, I think
so one down, three to go. However, these players were
teaching me a valuable lesson that will all losers, but
especially then you.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Want a creature like that gets exiled, you can choose,
if it's your commander, to put it back in the
command zone or leave it there.
Speaker 14 (17:10):
How do I lose quickly choose wrong?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, I tooth wrong. Pick a number one, two, three
or four? Okay?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
All right?
Speaker 14 (17:15):
Ready on one, two three? I picked three iphick two
all right, so RFK Junior and Emon must die great.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I will pass the tim Please swamp.
Speaker 14 (17:26):
I'll go find an island.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Can you you're not even having a little bit of fun.
Speaker 11 (17:30):
I am having absolutely no funk time to do with
all favor and January sixth, the shit.
Speaker 14 (17:38):
Game over, Nerds.
Speaker 11 (17:39):
Now go vote and don't tell anyone I wasn't smart
enough to understand your dumb.
Speaker 12 (17:44):
Da Thank you running when we come back back, Joe,
if you're joining me on the shows, you don't go away.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Welcome Doctor Dash, my guest tonight, is a Grammy nominated
artist whose New Stars series is called Fat Joe Talks.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
He's also a healthcare reform advocate working with Power to
the Patients. Please welcome Fat Joe. Yes, yes, Fat Joe
(18:45):
in the house Bronx from the Bronx.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Let's go Yankees, Let's go Yankee?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Who Fat Joe?
Speaker 4 (18:54):
I got to admit when I was introduced to you
many years ago, you looked a lot different than right now.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Are you still more jandsome? Now? You are more handsome? Now?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
All right?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Thank you brother, Are you still not fat Joe anymore?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 16 (19:08):
I lost a lot of weight. Man, I'm trying to
stick around. Man, Okay, like so beautiful.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Tell me about tell me about that journey. I think
a lot of people can connect with that.
Speaker 10 (19:19):
Well.
Speaker 16 (19:19):
I lost a lot of weight, you know, I think
on one at in two different layers. You know, I
lost a lot of friends of minees at a young age,
especially big punt, and I lost maybe one hundred and
fifty pounds, and then I went back at it again
and lost like maybe another one hundred one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (19:41):
The hardest thing you've done is Nah, going to the
hip hop industry, the hardest thing you've done.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
What's the hardest thing you've done?
Speaker 16 (19:48):
Well, the hardest thing I've done is trying to get
a law passed in Washington, DC for healthcare price.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
That's been my hardest.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
It was easier to lose two hundred and fifty pounds
to get a law passed and washing it.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, you know, you just want to live for me.
Speaker 16 (20:07):
I've done it for so long already that it's just
a way of life.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
You know.
Speaker 16 (20:11):
We cut cabs whenever we eat defensively Now so we
stay off the rights, off the pasta off the you know,
and work out, you know, and stay active and you know.
But you know, getting the law passed in Washington is
harder than losing two hundred and fifty pounds.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
That's not defense, that's offense.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
That's major offense.
Speaker 16 (20:32):
I remember the first time I went to Washington, d C.
A journalist met me at the stairs like, fat Joe,
what are you doing here? I was like, Yo, I'm
coming to get this stuff. She was like, good luck,
that's never going to happen in Washington. But we've been
getting a great reception. We started with one politician I
believe it was Guthha Gufree from Kentucky. Now, last time
(20:54):
I went over there, I had about ninety one hundred
Congressmen and senator is there and we're supporting the Senator
bron Bernie Sanders bill for healthcare price transparency. So you know,
this is the only thing you go anywhere in the
world you don't get a price for it. There's over
one hundred million Americans in debt due to healthcare price transparency.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
So it's real in every family.
Speaker 16 (21:19):
And so you want to create a system where they
tell you the price is so we can know where
we go, like if we know we're going for MRI.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Believe it or not, There's people going to the same.
Speaker 16 (21:30):
Hospitals every day getting the same procedure by the same doctor.
Somebody's paying twelve thousand, somebody's paying two thousand, somebody's playing
five thouars.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
It ain't even discrimination. It's just highway robbery.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Right, You don't see it'd be interesting if the doctor
came in like little menu. I mean, am I right
a hip replacement?
Speaker 16 (21:51):
But do you just want to create a competitive system
to where like anything else you want to know and
you look at your three leading hospitals in your area
and get it for the right price.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
And that's what power to the patients? Yes, advocates for Yeah, yeah,
So tell me exactly what power for the patients is?
Speaker 16 (22:10):
Powers to the patients? Is an organization just fighting for
the American people?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
You know?
Speaker 16 (22:15):
O two found this Kevin Mora and Cynthia Fisher. Cynthia
had employees that worked for her for twenty years and
never bothered her about anything. And finally she sees the man,
the gentleman crying and he was like so embarrassed to
tell her he don't know whether to send his daughter
to college or pay for his wife's hospital Bill Man.
(22:36):
And so there's actually people I come from the Bronx.
There's people afraid to go to the hospital to get
health coverage because they're afraid of what the price is
going to be in the lawn run, because this is
like you're just pulling in the hat coming out with whatever.
So that's why you see people limping across the streets.
You see people struggling, and then it just like a
(22:57):
snow pillows and before you know it, you're in real trouble.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
So if you get the change that you're advocating for,
a patient would now know the upfront costs at various
hospitals of a procedure.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
As well as enforcing it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Okay, that's key.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
We don't. We hate to admit it.
Speaker 16 (23:16):
But Donald Trump passed similar law, right, but they never
enforced I'm just telling you, of course, yes, no, yeah,
I'm obviously not a Trumper, but you know, he passed
a similar law which is not the strongest Senator broad
or on Bernie Sanders, but they never enforced it. So
(23:36):
the hospital's got a way. We're still moving the way
they move it.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
You got to have the press release, you got to
have the headline moment.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
But they didn't actually enforce that.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
So if a patient knows what these things cost, they
can make a more educated decision, because I got to
be honest. I go to the hospital and you kind
of check in I have insurance. I'm one of the
lucky people that and then I leave. I get some
shit in the mail that has a huge number on it,
but I don't even pay that. I always just feel
like it's the secret language between the hospital and the
insurance company.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Man, let me tell you something.
Speaker 16 (24:07):
There's a guy who went to the hospital for EpiPen
and they charged him eighteen thousand. He went online and
saw it for like one hundred dollars online.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Yeah, I think it's a guy in my subway stop.
It'll give it to him for twenty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Hey, maybe that's the guy who's selling me my OZEMPI.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
I know.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Well, and I want to talk to you in a
second about talking to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
But you mentioned ozepic and.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Astonishingly some reversed diagnosis of your type two diabetes.
Speaker 16 (24:43):
That why can you share that? Well, I don't give
all credit to that. But twelve years old, I was diabetic,
juvenile diabetes. I never knew in the hood that you
could actually lose weight and get rid of the diabetes.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
They never told me that.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I don't think a lot of people understand that now.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
They was just giving me insulin and for years.
Speaker 16 (25:05):
So once I started losing the weight one hundred and
fifty pounds of this, I'm working out twice a day.
My doctor tells me one day, you don't have diabetes,
you don't have to take the insulin. I wind up
arguing with my doctor. I'm like, yo, give me my insulin.
You're trying to kill me. Like nah, you're doing great,
you got rid of away. You don't need And then recently,
(25:25):
in the last maybe like two years or something like that,
the doctor was like, well, you ain't working out two
times a day, no more, Joe. You got to take
some ozempic. And so due to diabetes, you know, and
blood sugars. You know, I've been on that oz empic.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Okay, and you're healthy and strong and good. You're looking good.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I feel great.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, okay, great, let's talk about It's funny. It's funny
when a doctor gives you good news, we start questioning,
you know him or her.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I always look the diploma on the wall. Where exactly
did they go? You know, Costa Rica.
Speaker 16 (26:04):
I have the coolest doctor in the world, doctor Jean.
They've been down in Miami. He saved my life. And
so I go in there hang out with him and
just talk and hang out in the office with him,
and you know, just he's like a buddy. What the
problem is when you invite your doctor for Thanksgiving dinner?
One night he came to my house and I was
(26:26):
I ate, like two olives for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Looking at me, I'm like, that's like this, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Damn yeah, I'm.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Thinking up the place.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
You just had an opportunity at the b et hip
hop or words to interview Vice.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
President Kamala Harris. How did it go?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
First of all, wain't great.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Politicians politicians I don't want to say struggle. Maybe they're
confused or maybe they try very hard to reach the
black and brown men commune unity.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
What can they do? Are they doing the right stuff?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I would think?
Speaker 16 (27:05):
So it depends on what you know you're looking for,
you know, and some people, of course, the black and
brown community has been disenfranchised for many many years. But
the men, I don't know. You know, this race just
boils down to will a man vote.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
For a woman? That's all. It boils down to.
Speaker 16 (27:28):
I've done read the analytics, and every which way, shape
or form is the obvious person to vote for.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Now are you going to be man enough to vote
for a woman?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Right?
Speaker 11 (27:41):
We them?
Speaker 8 (27:43):
I like them?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
What I like.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
About you, In fact, Joe is not every artist is
willing to share opinions like that, because there's a lot
of people to buy music.
Speaker 16 (27:56):
But you know, I'm a business man, and so every
time I say stuff like this. The minute I said that,
I said, okay, I'm gonna get threatened by my Republican partners.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I mean, they get furious. I don't even got to
state nothing.
Speaker 16 (28:09):
They see me, you know, they you know, I have
friends on the Republican side who.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Want to save money in taxes.
Speaker 16 (28:18):
And then I think about where I came from and
the less fortunate people and women's reproductive rights and so forth,
and so my heart leans morally to where I got
to be. So but every time I say it, right.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Your new talk series, Fat Joe Talks, that's right. You
talk to celebrities like method Man, But also politicians like
Hakeem Jeffries and that's a good one. Yeah, well tell
me is it important to talk to you? Did you
tackle all different types of people on purpose?
Speaker 16 (28:55):
Well, you know, yeah, for sure, Fat Joe talking. I'm available,
Fat Joe talk, gotcha. And so you know, I get
into it with Hakim Jeffries, the leader, and I asked
him if the Aliens were real. I mean this guy
would know, right. I'm like, yo, tell me about the
aliens man. And so I'm just having fun and just
(29:18):
interviewing icons. This week we got It's on the Stars Network,
Go get the app. We got Mary J. Blige. This
week we got strictly icons. And my platform is all
about inspiration, bringing inspiration and positive vibes to you.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
It's crazy.
Speaker 16 (29:37):
I did an interview earlier with the newspaper out in
LA and they were asking me about the show, and
I'm like, this is positivity. We tell you our story,
where we came from, all the adversary, how we get
through it. We're bringing up the youth so they could
be inspired and they could see that it's possible. And
then my publicist gets on the phone, it says, you
got time for one more question? The woman acces me
(29:59):
the most controversial question you heard in your life, I said, miss,
I've been talking you for half an hour, haven't you
heard me? See, A good journalist is a good listener.
You gotta listen to the talent what you say.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
I'm sorry, you gotta listen. So right, But Big Joe,
but Fat Joe likes to talk. So are you doing talking?
Are you doing listening? You're doing everything.
Speaker 16 (30:21):
I'm doing a little bit of both because I really
like to talk, and so you're good at it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, I'm really good at it, and I like to
jump in. But I learned.
Speaker 16 (30:30):
I learned how to just let the let the artist,
the person talk, give me their perspective, and then I
lean in. But I normally you won't get one word
in in the house. And if you ever heard of
this guy called DJ Khalid, you won't get a word in.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Be me and DJ I can't like yo, like, hey.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Yo, all he's saying is his name over and over.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Oh no, yeah, it's calig.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I don't get to talk to a lot of hip
hop stars. So I gotta ask you.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
When I see a video and everybody's got the money
in the is that real money?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
On set. Is that fake money?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Actually is?
Speaker 16 (31:06):
I think it's fake money most of the time.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
So my wife told me.
Speaker 16 (31:11):
We got back from I hosted the BET Hip Hop
Awards and I did my song making range. So these
girls were throwing like money, and so my wife said,
I found a bunch of money in your pocket.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I said, yeah, did you look at it?
Speaker 16 (31:23):
She looked at it and had Fat Joe's face. That
ain't gonna get your care. That ain't gonna get you
a candy bar?
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Right, I love you haven't had a solo album in
fourteen years. All right, Now you're working with healthcare reform
to have more healthcare transparency.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Can you be transparent with us? Is there a new
Fat Joe album coming up?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yes, there is. It's called The World Changed.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
It's almost like I knew it.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
It's cool. The world changed on me.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Oh, the world change.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I feel like I'm the last ungentrified.
Speaker 16 (32:00):
I got the bodega, I got the bow dagga on
the blot. Hell No, we won't go and we just
gonna keep this real hip hop alive. I look at
the world changed on me. It's pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I look forward to it. Thank you for chatting.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I'm check out Power to the Patients dot Org.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
That's my show for tonight. Now here.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
It is the moment of the.
Speaker 15 (32:34):
And I wish I'd put it on tape. But every
time I think, I say, oh, I'd love these convers
I could tell you with Italy what I did. I
could tell you. Here's the problem. Every time I think
about putting I want.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
To tape every conversation.
Speaker 15 (32:46):
The problem is that I start thinking about Richard Nixon

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
