Bill Burr has a brutally dark take on the environmental crisis: maybe the planet’s biggest problem is simply too many people. He jokes about sinking cruise ships, eliminating bankers, and rebuilding everything to create jobs as people disappear. It’s classic Bill Burr, outrageous, dark, and designed to make people uncomfortable.

Ilhan Omar says she still lives “paycheck to paycheck,” despite reports earlier this year suggesting her household’s net worth could be as high as $30 million. She points to having four children, driving a 2016 Toyota Camry, and renting homes in Washington, D.C., and Minneapolis as examples of her modest lifestyle. Her comments are drawing scrutiny over how she defines living paycheck to paycheck.

Whoopi Goldberg criticized Vivek Ramaswamy, arguing that his treatment of a woman sends a message to female voters across the state. She warned that voters are watching how candidates behave under pressure and questioned whether that approach would help him win support. Whoopi made it clear she believes his strategy could backfire.

Davram Stiefler asked a Trump supporter about rising prices, the national debt, and whether the Iran war was contributing to higher costs. She blamed the Biden administration, insisting the price increases were a carryover from his presidency and dismissing the idea that the war was responsible. Even when pressed, she stood by her explanation.

Ilhan Omar says federal agents spent four to five hours searching her Washington, D.C., home and seized 17 items. She says the items included several old phones, a vintage camera belonging to her husband, and a children’s book used to learn Somali. Omar described how agents went room by room during the search.

“Our schools and colleges are turning out people who cannot feel fulfilled unless they are telling other people what to do. The price of their self-indulgence is the sacrifice of our freedom. If we don’t defend ourselves against them, who will?” — Thomas Sowell

Whoopi Goldberg interrupted Stephen A. Smith as he told the story of President Trump showing him a portrait of an autopen instead of Joe Biden’s portrait at the White House. Smith said he even challenged Trump over the joke, but before he could finish the story, Whoopi cut in and announced a commercial break. The timing certainly raised eyebrows.
