00:00:50.000 Final flights into LAX for Spirit.

00:00:55.000 Just the good months.

00:00:57.000 Hey Spirit, from us guys at American, good luck to y'all.

00:00:59.000 It'd be better if you took $500 million, put it in a pile on the floor, poured gasoline on it, lit it on fire.

00:01:08.920 Pour one out, folks.

00:01:11.160 One of the great, terrible budget airlines.

00:01:14.020 I actually don't want to pour it on my desk.

00:01:15.680 Spirit Airlines.

00:01:16.680 R.I.P.

00:01:17.380 It is no more.

00:01:18.460 When you wanted a cheap flight, they get you the cheapest flight possible.

00:01:21.220 They would charge you for oxygen.

00:01:23.340 They would make you pay if you wanted a seatbelt or if you wanted to undo your seatbelt.

00:01:27.560 And it was truly an unpleasant experience.

00:01:31.660 But when you were broke, it was great.

00:01:35.360 Bullshit bourgeois ideology.

00:01:37.260 And I'm going to miss it.

00:01:38.680 So in memoriam, we have the best spirit airline memes.

00:01:57.560 And I don't want to go home right now.

00:02:02.680 Guys, never fly with spirit, okay?

00:02:06.440 You're a duke.

00:02:06.940 And all I can do is you.

00:02:11.560 And shoot her later, it's a real world.

00:02:15.740 I just don't want to.

00:02:17.300 Is that a monkey?

00:02:19.680 Oh, no, it's a raccoon.

00:02:21.000 yeah no that song killer song for spirit the other one that comes to mind is uh it's something

00:02:31.780 unpredictable in the end as the stewardess is punching people in the face people are just

00:02:39.220 gasping for air when we fly spirit you have this sense that like as you were circling the airport

00:02:45.500 All right, everybody, so we just need another $50 before we can land this airplane.

00:02:52.180 Someone's going to have to pony up.

00:02:53.600 We're running out of jet fuel.

00:02:55.320 So just if anyone wants to land.

00:02:58.920 Flying Spirit was just playing a big game of chicken.

00:03:01.460 Next one.

00:03:01.940 Looks like you're going to have to take over Spirit too, Marco.

00:03:15.500 Oh!

00:03:21.440 No!

00:03:51.440 Wow, I could watch it all day.

00:03:57.120 I like the subtlety, too, of the filmmaker

00:03:59.060 that every single person other than Marco Rubio is black,

00:04:02.460 of the auteur's understanding of spirit.

00:04:07.360 I think I'm getting the black lung, Bob.

00:04:09.520 Which is not totally realistic,

00:04:11.500 but it is realistic that Marco Rubio

00:04:13.920 will be tasked with taking over spirit.

00:04:16.080 Wow.

00:04:16.960 Who thinks the federal government knows

00:04:18.300 how to get a suitcase from Pittsburgh to Cleveland?

00:04:21.440 I mean, just the mechanics of running an airline, there is no expertise in the federal government.

00:04:27.240 I want to watch that feature film.

00:04:29.060 Right now, go to ground.news slash Knowles.

00:04:32.080 If you were watching this, you already know that free speech is under attack across the West.

00:04:36.040 European governments are openly censoring content online.

00:04:38.580 Most of the mainstream media barely want to talk about it.

00:04:40.940 Well, there is a solution.

00:04:42.280 Ground News is a website and app that pulls in thousands of news stories from around the world every day,

00:04:47.000 organizes them by story, shows you the bias, reliability, and ownership of every source.

00:04:51.720 Here's a story that maybe you haven't heard of, unless you've been listening to me. The Trump

00:04:55.320 administration is building freedom.gov. It's a portal designed to bypass digital content bans

00:04:59.760 across the globe. U.S. is making free speech a foreign policy priority. Yet over 85 outlets

00:05:04.840 covered it with 45% of coverage from the right versus just 19% from the left. Go figure. When

00:05:10.440 you compare the headlines, the framing is very revealing. Gizmodo, which is a left-wing outlet,

00:05:14.060 describes it as enabling Europeans to bypass bans on hate speech. Welt, which is a right-leaning

00:05:19.000 outlet, calls it digital freedom against EU censorship. So you're getting the framing on

00:05:22.400 both sides. Really, really cool website. Go to ground.news slash Knowles right now,

00:05:26.880 or scan the QR code for 40% off the Vantage plan. It's five bucks a month,

00:05:31.200 so give it a shot and stay better informed.

00:05:44.060 happiest spirit airlines employee that is that's going to be his epitaph on his tombstone that was

00:05:52.360 the happiest spirit airlines employee it was it was rough on there because it wasn't you know

00:05:58.960 the big airlines delta it's really nice united did this thing for a while where they would like

00:06:04.720 kill your puppy but they it's pretty nice on the big ones you know american whatever and then

00:06:09.640 Southwest was supposedly a budget airline, but it wasn't really.

00:06:13.740 The prices started to creep up, and they still made it feel like kind of budget

00:06:18.360 because the stewardesses would be wacky.

00:06:21.140 You know, they're eccentric.

00:06:22.700 One of them came over and sat on my lap one time.

00:06:24.700 It was interesting.

00:06:26.300 But on Spirit, the Spirit version of budget airline wasn't the wacky, eccentric,

00:06:32.520 we have fun here.

00:06:33.760 It was like, just got out of my halfway house, you know,

00:06:37.600 still going through a little bit of withdrawal, existential ennui, slash homicidal rage.

00:06:46.220 Those poor suitcases. Okay, next one.

00:06:52.380 There we go. That's the song I wanted.

00:06:57.960 So take the photographs and still friends in your mind.

00:07:03.420 Hanging on a shelf in good health and good time.

00:07:07.600 Tattoos and memories and dead skin on trial

00:07:12.540 For what it's worth, it was worth all the while

00:07:17.520 It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right

00:07:22.380 I hope you had the time of your life

00:07:26.560 The reason the song actually doesn't work

00:07:31.600 is that that was always predictable on Spirit Airlines.

00:07:36.140 That was always predictable.

00:07:37.600 you had a statistical certainty

00:07:40.340 of experiencing something like that.

00:07:45.080 And now we're certain that we won't experience it again

00:07:47.400 unless we fly on Frontier.

00:07:50.000 See you next time.

00:07:55.520 Look out the window.

00:07:58.180 Spirit.

00:07:59.000 Didn't see that coming, did you?

00:08:07.600 We'll be right back.

00:08:37.600 unpredictable but in the end is right i hope you at the time of your life
