amaging information he has about the Biden family. Come on. Come on. He's up something like I don't know seven points against whoever runs against him if he were to run as president again. You know he has this pretty much commanding lead in the situation. The only thing he could do wrong is say something that could be spun as him siding with Russia. It's the only thing he could do wrong. And he k…

ng to come down too hard on a comedian being a comedian. Especially I think there was evidence he didn't know about the alopecia which was perfectly believable. So no it wasn't a staged little flap I'm sure. So Chris Rock comes out ahead.

How about Jada Pinkett Smith? Did she come out ahead? I'd say yes because do you think the women hate it when men defend them like that? They don't hate it. Nope. Nope.

How about Will Smith? He got an Oscar. He got a standing ovation. He apologized. Now that's not fake right? That Will Smith apologized for the hit? I think he did. And I feel as if it won't affect his movies. I don't think so. I feel like everybody came out ahead. The

Academy Awards got better ratings. The media got clicks. I had something to talk about. You were entertained. Is this the weirdest situation in the world? Literally everybody came out ahead. I'm not wrong about that right? I mean you know Chris Rock suffered one slap and then sold four times as many tickets and got rich and he's more relevant than he's ever been. And I don't know it looks like he…
