00:02:18.000 It's Friday, and we are live.
00:02:21.000 It is 9, 10 Central.
00:02:23.000 God time.
00:02:25.000 God's time.
00:02:26.000 God time.
00:02:27.000 God tear is what people say.
00:02:28.000 So I'm doing it the way the kids do on the interwebs.
00:02:31.000 And we're actually doing a new segment here, or a new show.
00:02:35.000 You don't need a singer yet.
00:02:36.000 We're going to go through a couple of news stories, but then you send in, chat, what we've missed.
00:02:41.000 So I want you to send in clips, ideally, or stories.
00:02:45.000 Whatever stories it is, or whatever stories they are, I don't know, that you think we missed, that you want us to cover, so we can react in real time.
00:02:54.000 And we'll be doing that here probably in about 20, 30 minutes.
00:02:57.000 So start sending them in, and we will be receiving your most hidden places.
00:03:04.000 All right.
00:03:04.000 I thought you were going to say loads.
00:03:06.000 What?
00:03:07.000 What?
00:03:07.000 No.
00:03:08.000 Hey, we have senior citizens here today.
00:03:11.000 We're taping a commercial.
00:03:15.000 And we needed some older people.
00:03:17.000 And by the way, I was surprised at the gentleman, because I didn't think he was old enough.
00:03:20.000 I just thought he was just someone visiting.
00:03:21.000 And then I realized, oh, we're going to make him up to look older for the commercial we're doing.
00:03:24.000 And when you see the first story we're covering, I realize, oh, he had to watch that out there.
00:03:29.000 Sorry about that.
00:03:30.000 I was like, oh, I'm sorry.
00:03:32.000 We cleaned it up.
00:03:32.000 The clip that we had to censor more.
00:03:34.000 The clip that we had to censor more, and he asked me for a Jesus shirt.
00:03:38.000 I'm like, yes, I can.
00:03:40.000 Did you see Run Through?
00:03:42.000 How long have you been here?
00:03:46.000 Commenting on evil does not mean we are partaking in it.
00:03:49.000 Though sometimes.
00:03:50.000 All right.
00:03:51.000 Captain Morgan, you feeling better?
00:03:53.000 Great.
00:03:54.000 Josh Feierstein, not underscore Feierstein on X. It is what you missed later on.
00:04:00.000 Also, major announcement next Friday.
00:04:02.000 We'll be going wide, public.
00:04:04.000 Wide, everywhere, and potentially cross-streaming with someone else.
00:04:08.000 So stay tuned for that.
00:04:10.000 Bookmark it next Friday.
00:04:12.000 First story.
00:04:13.000 I know that you thought the NYPD were busy fighting crime.
00:04:18.000 Yes, of course. 0.97
00:04:19.000 Or shaking down black guys, let's be honest. 0.99
00:04:21.000 Heroes. 0.98
00:04:22.000 Not for the last part.
00:04:23.000 No, you mispronounced nurses and teachers.
00:04:28.000 Oh, sorry.
00:04:29.000 Yeah, come on. 0.77
00:04:30.000 Those are the true heroes.
00:04:31.000 FDNY? NYPD. NYPD. I know.
00:04:35.000 You said FDNY. I was talking about...
00:04:37.000 Oh, Lord. 0.99
00:04:38.000 We used to think they were the real heroes after 9-11, and now I realize that they are spineless pussies, is what I'm saying. 1.00
00:04:44.000 Well, they're no Uber driver. 0.99
00:04:45.000 They're no nurses. 1.00
00:04:47.000 They're no public school teachers.
00:04:48.000 That's true.
00:04:49.000 Do you have any idea?
00:04:50.000 Public school teachers, they had to do their job from Zoom for a year and a half.
00:04:55.000 Do you have any idea how difficult that is?
00:04:56.000 To hit the mute button when your tea kettle's going off and you're not teaching kids?
00:05:00.000 All those TikToks?
00:05:02.000 All those TikToks.
00:05:02.000 I know.
00:05:03.000 Remember how much trouble we got into for a 9-11 joke about it?
00:05:06.000 That was the greatest.
00:05:08.000 It was one of my favorites ever. 0.98
00:05:10.000 So, I know you think that NYPD, busy fighting crime, doing whatever it is that you picture in your mind, but what if I told you that some of the NYPD were busy, consequence-free, mind you, Not so much reading Miranda rights as shaking their fat asses, known as twerking. 0.96
00:05:30.000 I'm going to tell you about a girl named Keisha. 0.96
00:05:33.000 What up, Keisha? 1.00
00:05:34.000 Legs, long, ass, thick. 1.00
00:05:38.000 Just want to smash it quick. 1.00
00:05:39.000 Hit the dash and split.
00:05:41.000 Cash gap, be quick. 1.00
00:05:43.000 Straight on some ratchet shit. 1.00
00:05:44.000 She like to smash it. 1.00
00:05:46.000 Yeah, and before we go to this, I'm just going to cover the story.
00:05:51.000 I thought they were going to edit it more.
00:05:53.000 There's no good way to edit it, Gerald.
00:05:55.000 We're not trying to be titillating.
00:05:57.000 We're not?
00:05:58.000 Why don't you back the blue?
00:06:01.000 Why don't you get behind the blue?
00:06:04.000 Make it rain, Gerald.
00:06:05.000 It's changed from back the blue to blue, back that up. 0.96
00:06:10.000 Give me blue balls, I'll tell you. 0.97
00:06:11.000 That's right. 0.99
00:06:13.000 I hate this.
00:06:14.000 Pull me over for a speeding ticket.
00:06:16.000 I might get rain now.
00:06:18.000 NYPD officer.
00:06:19.000 Her name is Melissa Mercado.
00:06:22.000 And she was busted because co-workers recognized her, which is not like she was in a secret identity.
00:06:27.000 I mean, she's pretty easy to spot. 0.97
00:06:29.000 Also, she was texting them all the video.
00:06:31.000 Yes.
00:06:32.000 She was in this video.
00:06:35.000 Squires?
00:06:35.000 Oh, okay, I get it.
00:06:37.000 But it's spelled...
00:06:37.000 Really, honestly, it should be pronounced S-queer.
00:06:39.000 Yeah, that's what it's spelled with.
00:06:40.000 It's spelled S-queer. 0.99
00:06:42.000 Like straight queer? 1.00
00:06:43.000 It's just so funny how black people like to spell things. 1.00
00:06:47.000 Or new metal bands.
00:06:49.000 S-quires video for it, and the video's called Doing That.
00:06:54.000 So, this lady earns $144,000 a year as a grade three detective. 1.00
00:07:00.000 She doing that. 0.97
00:07:01.000 Yeah, she doing that. 1.00
00:07:02.000 It's that.
00:07:03.000 Who was doing it?
00:07:04.000 The detective will find out.
00:07:05.000 The lead at.
00:07:06.000 She's, I'm all that and a bag of chips, which is also what it smells like on the pole when she's done with it. 1.00
00:07:10.000 Now, you know when someone opens an old bag of chips and it wafts?
00:07:17.000 Or like a can of pumpkin and it's expired?
00:07:21.000 Oh, gross.
00:07:23.000 An NYPD union source said, well, she's not wearing NYPD paraphernalia. 1.00
00:07:29.000 Nothing in the video says she's a detective.
00:07:31.000 If she is performing for money, if she has a side gig, the job would want to know about that. 1.00
00:07:36.000 The member would be obligated to file an off-duty employment application.
00:07:40.000 I would say nothing she does in the video is the department's business.
00:07:45.000 I understand that in theory, but remember when the Alaska Airlines flight attendant was fired?
00:07:52.000 For twerking in uniform, but the difference is she was in uniform.
00:07:56.000 She wasn't in a thong.
00:07:57.000 So one could almost argue that this is worse because it's going to be pretty tough.
00:08:03.000 You get pulled over to respect the authority.
00:08:07.000 No, the Alaska Airlines flight attendant had a... 1.00
00:08:09.000 Small ass. 1.00
00:08:10.000 Yes, that's true. 1.00
00:08:11.000 And if you heard Esquire, he said that was thick.
00:08:14.000 Yes, he did.
00:08:15.000 Clearly.
00:08:15.000 That was actually the only prerequisite in the casting call.
00:08:19.000 Mr. Qualifier did say. 0.95
00:08:21.000 Long legs and thick butt. 0.97
00:08:23.000 Look, this is my creative vision. 0.95
00:08:24.000 I know what I want. 1.00
00:08:27.000 Big ass. 1.00
00:08:29.000 We can't find anybody, Mr. Esquire. 1.00
00:08:31.000 I don't know.
00:08:31.000 Maybe go check with the NYPD. I see them patrolling.
00:08:35.000 Check the FDNY. They're going up and down all them stairs.
00:08:39.000 Like a lunge, motherfucker. 1.00
00:08:40.000 So, this, I think she could just, like, no. 1.00
00:08:47.000 If I worked at the NYPD, I'm sorry, like, taxpayers, if you're collecting $144,000, you're in a position that requires authority.
00:08:56.000 Like, I get that people can have side gigs.
00:08:58.000 Like, for example, I had a guy who was a fire chief, and he would do my pool.
00:09:03.000 A long time ago.
00:09:04.000 So that's different.
00:09:05.000 It's different, and that guy...
00:09:06.000 He did it in a thong, too.
00:09:08.000 That's the problem.
00:09:09.000 Well, that was my only qualifier.
00:09:10.000 He's Brazilians, man. 0.51
00:09:11.000 Also a Spanish accent, even though he was white.
00:09:14.000 I believe there is something wrong with your filter.
00:09:16.000 I will fix it for you.
00:09:18.000 Thank you, Todd.
00:09:21.000 But the guy made bank, because when he was a firefighter, I think three days on...
00:09:25.000 Two days off, or it's three days on, three days off.
00:09:27.000 So he said, you know, during the spare time, this is a perfect job.
00:09:30.000 I can work it in my schedule.
00:09:32.000 Some people do Uber.
00:09:32.000 That makes sense.
00:09:34.000 Glorified stripper. 1.00
00:09:36.000 Not even a glorified, just a stripper. 1.00
00:09:37.000 I think it's a little bit different.
00:09:39.000 Actress.
00:09:40.000 It's a music video.
00:09:41.000 She's not a stripper on the pole, I guess, like on the weekend. 0.97
00:09:44.000 I think she is.
00:09:46.000 No, no.
00:09:47.000 She's an actress. 1.00
00:09:49.000 Oh, really?
00:09:49.000 I didn't do my research.
00:09:50.000 And you believe the waitresses at Hooters like you? 1.00
00:09:55.000 They bring him extra ranch.
00:09:56.000 I almost said I've never been there.
00:09:57.000 I went there once in high school and I hated it.
00:09:59.000 I'm going to give you a little bit of pushback.
00:10:01.000 Sorry for the pun.
00:10:02.000 I'm going to push back on you.
00:10:03.000 Push it back.
00:10:04.000 Bring it on back.
00:10:06.000 Beep, beep, beep. 0.95
00:10:09.000 The response from the NYPD to me sounds like they're trying to cover their asses because she's actually on some kind of undercover mission. 0.94
00:10:19.000 Oh, that could be. 0.96
00:10:20.000 Yeah, like they just blew her cover and she blew three guys in the champagne room. 0.99
00:10:23.000 I was going to say, where's she hiding the wire?
00:10:26.000 What do you think that thong is made of? 1.00
00:10:28.000 It's all wire.
00:10:29.000 It's where I keep my spare keys, applesauce, tuba lipstick.
00:10:33.000 Yeah, she's like Serpico, but Slurpico. 1.00
00:10:35.000 Yes, exactly.
00:10:38.000 Well, to be fair, 144,000 in New York is like 20,000 a year anywhere else.
00:10:43.000 Yeah.
00:10:44.000 I don't know if that's her salary and her benefits, but it doesn't matter.
00:10:48.000 You know what?
00:10:49.000 You guys comment.
00:10:50.000 I just think the answer is no.
00:10:52.000 Now, here's the thing.
00:10:53.000 It also has come with consequences, right?
00:10:55.000 Actions have consequences.
00:10:57.000 And I believe she's in the Bronx.
00:10:59.000 The flow of calls to their emergency police line, as you can imagine, have increased dramatically.
00:11:05.000 911, what's your what's your emergency?
00:11:35.000 Melissa McArdo, do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?
00:11:41.000 Honestly, it's kind of to be expected when you look back on it.
00:11:48.000 It reminds me of Lil Wayne's Lady Cop song.
00:11:50.000 Do you remember that?
00:11:51.000 I don't remember.
00:11:53.000 That's all it is?
00:11:57.000 That was the chorus. 0.60
00:11:58.000 Was he singing it?
00:11:59.000 I don't like that.
00:12:00.000 It was Lil Wayne and some singer did the hook. 1.00
00:12:04.000 Oh, I was going to say, if he was singing it, he'd be like, She got me like...
00:12:08.000 What are you doing?
00:12:10.000 I'm doing a police siren like...
00:12:13.000 Oh, man.
00:12:13.000 I wish I could remember the lyrics.
00:12:14.000 It was a pretty fun song.
00:12:15.000 Okay.
00:12:16.000 All right.
00:12:16.000 I'll take your word for it.
00:12:17.000 We should have her on the show. 1.00
00:12:18.000 So last Sunday.
00:12:19.000 No.
00:12:20.000 I agree.
00:12:20.000 The 97th Academy Awards were held.
00:12:23.000 And remember, we used to do the Oscar stream every year.
00:12:25.000 Yes, I remember.
00:12:25.000 And it was a constant problem because we would get banned.
00:12:28.000 And I was the Oscar trophy.
00:12:30.000 I remember.
00:12:31.000 I'm glad that we...
00:12:32.000 It was a lot of fun.
00:12:33.000 I'm glad that we stopped.
00:12:34.000 And this one was relatively uneventful.
00:12:36.000 I think Conan did a good job.
00:12:37.000 There was one kind of political jab.
00:12:38.000 But as a general rule, it's clear they had to talk with these folks.
00:12:41.000 It's very clear.
00:12:42.000 When you see also what Gavin Newsom said with Charlie Kirk yesterday, you know what, maybe I want to bring that clip.
00:12:47.000 There's a reason he chose that platform, because he went unchecked on some of his comments that he's flip-flopped.
00:12:54.000 You can see that they've read the polls.
00:12:56.000 You can see they've gotten these focus studies, and they're going, oh, okay.
00:13:01.000 Americans aren't having it. 0.90
00:13:02.000 Like, at this point, if you start going off on your soliloquy...
00:13:06.000 If you start sermonizing, you get on your soapbox, we are going to lose viewers and we cannot have that, especially when you look at the ledgers of a lot of these companies.
00:13:14.000 However, there were some notable moments, I guess.
00:13:18.000 Here's the highlights.
00:13:19.000 I am rooting for everybody.
00:13:21.000 I don't care who wins because everybody who's been nominated deserved it.
00:13:26.000 Jeremy, you're amazing in The Apprentice.
00:13:27.000 I'm not supposed to single anyone out.
00:13:35.000 I am a proud child of immigrant parents.
00:13:41.000 With dreams and dignity and hard-working hands.
00:13:46.000 And I am the first American of Dominican origin to accept an Academy Award.
00:13:51.000 And I know I will not be the last.
00:13:53.000 We live in a regime where I am free. 0.98
00:13:54.000 Yes, because white American men hate Dominican women. 1.00
00:13:57.000 We're big fans, actually. 0.87
00:13:59.000 And I have to say, as I am here...
00:14:02.000 The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path.
00:14:06.000 I'm here once again to represent the...
00:14:12.000 Gay Pin Association.
00:14:14.000 ...lingering traumas and the repercussions of war.
00:14:17.000 He's the president now.
00:14:19.000 And systematic oppression.
00:14:20.000 I agree.
00:14:21.000 And of anti-Semitism.
00:14:24.000 I agree.
00:14:24.000 And racism.
00:14:26.000 I agree.
00:14:26.000 And of othering.
00:14:28.000 I agree.
00:14:28.000 And I believe...
00:14:29.000 If the past can teach us anything, it's a reminder to not let hate go unchecked.
00:14:35.000 I agree.
00:14:35.000 There's nothing he said with which I could possibly disagree.
00:14:39.000 He just doesn't understand exactly what he's saying.
00:14:43.000 The trauma of war.
00:14:44.000 I agree.
00:14:45.000 There's only one person out there.
00:14:47.000 There was only one candidate who wanted to stop the forever wars.
00:14:49.000 The most anti-war president ever.
00:14:51.000 We can all agree on that, right?
00:14:53.000 Comment below.
00:14:54.000 Donald Trump.
00:14:55.000 Othering people.
00:14:55.000 Like calling people Hitler.
00:14:57.000 Nazis.
00:14:58.000 I agree.
00:14:59.000 Anti-Semitism.
00:15:00.000 Have you gone to the leftist forums and message boards lately and seen what these people say about Israel?
00:15:04.000 I get that there's a faction on the right, and I understand there's a righteous reason to criticize the Israeli government. 0.98
00:15:10.000 I get that.
00:15:10.000 But I'm talking about open support for Hamas.
00:15:12.000 Have you seen what's happened on campus?
00:15:13.000 Everything he just said, I agree with.
00:15:15.000 So even when they're being apolitical, they just don't realize how tone-deaf they are.
00:15:19.000 Also, I didn't realize that this was streaming to Rumble YouTube, I guess.
00:15:24.000 I had no idea because usually, just in case people don't know, we do a show every Friday.
00:15:29.000 If you're not a Rumble Premium member, you just click right there and you get to watch it.
00:15:31.000 It's a little more relaxed, as you can see.
00:15:34.000 Did we have to hit the YouTube jump button?
00:15:36.000 I'm sure we probably did.
00:15:37.000 This has been Gerald Relaxed.
00:15:38.000 Yes.
00:15:39.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:15:40.000 He's like the buddy cop uptight guy, but who doesn't have the redemption arc.
00:15:45.000 And then his partner is Melissa Mercado.
00:15:48.000 Yes, yes, exactly.
00:15:49.000 It's Mercado.
00:15:51.000 Mercado.
00:15:52.000 It's Ricky Ricardo. 1.00
00:15:53.000 Do you have to go out acting like a whore? 1.00
00:15:55.000 And she's like, why don't you loosen up? 1.00
00:15:56.000 It's what I do.
00:15:57.000 Why don't you loosen up?
00:15:59.000 Why don't you loosen up, my boy?
00:16:01.000 She teaches Gerald how to dance.
00:16:03.000 There's some kind of a montage where she's teaching him how to dance.
00:16:06.000 He's like...
00:16:07.000 Nah, let this loosen your shoulders.
00:16:09.000 He's like...
00:16:10.000 You're about as tight as my bra strap. 0.63
00:16:12.000 Yeah, that's right. 1.00
00:16:14.000 Well, if you see a nipple, that's nude! 1.00
00:16:19.000 Some sequence where he's coming out of the dressing room and he progressively looks more pimp-like, and at the end she's like... 0.97
00:16:25.000 Yeah, that's all you needed was an Al Green cane!
00:16:28.000 That's exactly right!
00:16:29.000 Thank you to H&M! And then DJ Daniel beats the shit out of him. 0.98
00:16:34.000 So I didn't realize, so click that button, you get to be with us every Friday, and we also do this 100% more show every day of the week.
00:16:41.000 Big announcements.
00:16:41.000 I already said big announcements.
00:16:42.000 I had no idea we were streaming live.
00:16:44.000 Someone could have let me know because I could have said all the things that I don't say on YouTube, but we're going to continue here.
00:16:48.000 You know what? 0.93
00:16:49.000 Rachel Ziegler and Gal Gadot in a contest for who is the dumbest person on stage. 0.98
00:16:55.000 And I don't just say this because of their politics. 0.97
00:16:57.000 I mean, Ziegler and Gal Gadot are barely walking upright.
00:17:03.000 So they are stars of the Disney live-action, I guess the live-action version of Snow White.
00:17:07.000 They appeared as presenters, and I know that this was only put in today's show.
00:17:11.000 Every now and then they sneak one in just to make me mad.
00:17:15.000 Please welcome Rachel Ziegler.
00:17:17.000 No!
00:17:18.000 do. No!
00:17:19.000 Visual effects.
00:17:30.000 Push the boundaries of what we see on screen.
00:17:33.000 Their work makes the impossible seem possible.
