announced that they're going to put a limit on junior investment bankers' hours. So if you're a junior investment banker at JP Morgan, they will no longer let you work more than eighty hours per week, no matter how much you want to. What? Who works eighty hours a week unless it's their own company? Well, you can make millions as an investment banker if you do everything right, but it looks like th…
← Previous segment →But even I don't work eighty hours a week. Eighty hours a week. Do you have any idea what that would do to you? I mean, there's a report of somebody dying from overwork, and in Japan you hear about it all the time. But there's no good reason to make somebody work eighty hours a week. There's no way that that extra ten hours or twenty hours at the end is your good time. You would have to have all kinds of breaks, and I don't know, you're going to have to have an affair with your co-workers to make that all work. So a pretty broken system.
Meanwhile, MSNBC has decided to spend some considerable time telling its audience what a terrible person Laura Loomer is. Now Laura Loomer is, if you've not heard that name, she's associated with the right, and she's, I guess I would say, an independent researcher journalist. And she's broken some good scoops, so she's got some serious credibility in terms of scoops. But she's also controversial, and it's not my job to defend anything that anybody else said. So you should hear this first. I'm not defending anything that anybody else said. But do I need to? Why would that be my job? No, I'm on a pirate ship. All right, I signed up to be on a pirate ship. If they let another pirate on the pirate ship, you know what I'm not going to do? I'd like to examine your past statements for acceptability. No, I'm going to take whatever weapons that pirate has because we need to get a mission done, and I don't give a rat's ass what anybody ever said to offend you.
Do I agree with everything ever said by RFK Jr.? I doubt it. I mean, I can't think of a specific example, but I doubt it. Do I think he shouldn't be on the pirate ship? No, I think he should be very much on the pirate ship. I want to be on the same ship as him. So Laura Loomer is very effective, and they wouldn't be talking about her unless she had made a big dent in the universe. And if you're a pirate who can make a big dent in the universe and you want Trump to win because I think it's vital to the survival of the United States, and that's the kind of pirate I don't mind associating with.
But it's kind of funny because we've entered this weird political mode where we're trying to take people down by who they associate with. And then it's kind of a contest. It's like MSNBC say, all right, all right, we're going to say that Trump is associating with this horrible racist. They would say Laura Loomer. And of course that's weird because MSNBC is the most famously corrupt and racist organization in the public knowledge. That would be an interesting question. Could you think

of a more racist organization, like just overtly racist, than MSNBC? Actually I can't think of one. I actually can't think of any. Well, that's weird. It seems like there'd be some competition for the top spot, but there really isn't. Yeah, MSNBC is so blatantly racist that they're going after Laura Loomer now. Again, I'm not defending Laura Loomer. I know you're going to say the ADL. I thought o…
