Chapter 1: What are the latest updates on the Starbucks strike?
Well guys, Starbucks employees are on strike again, Hillary Clinton doesn't want us to have children because that's what illegal immigrants are for, and Lorde wants us all to know that she is in fact a woman, except on days when she is a man. And yes, all of this is confusing to me as well, don't worry, we're gonna break it all down today.
Now, before we dive into all of those stories and a couple of other things, as I was sitting down to film this episode, I stumbled across a juicy new update in the Blake Lively saga. So I just want to include this at the top of the episode because it was just too good not to share.
So if you guys have followed this case and this story at all, you know that at the crux of Blake Lively's lawsuit against Jessa Maldoni is workplace hostility, workplace toxicity, sexual harassment, all of these awful things that happened on the set of the movie It Ends With
Well, according to an exclusive from the Daily Mail, it looks like this isn't Blake Lively's first runaround with workplace hostility. However, in this case, she was the one who was being accused. So I had no idea that this was even a thing, but back in 2014, she decided that like basically every other celebrity, she also wanted to have a lifestyle brand.
And now this is so funny to me because my team can attest to this, but I have often mused like, What if I one day had a lifestyle brand? What if I was like selling things? We were making cool products. It'd be so fun. Well, apparently everybody and their mother wants to do that because Goop was so successful thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow.
I think Khloe Kardashian also tried to start one called like Goosh or something like that. You have Meghan Markle who was trying to make as ever or as love, whatever it's called, work.
well blake lively also tried to do the same thing so in 2014 she started a brand called preserve and then she handed the reins over to her brother who was running it out of his new york city studio apartment now all of this was going on in 2014 but apparently allegedly the brand did not last long because her brother was a tyrant he was awful to work for allegedly according to this daily mail article
He was doing drugs in the office. He was having affairs with employees. It was so toxic. It was completely unprofessional. And so people went to Blake Lively. The employees like set a meeting with Blake and were like, hey, this is your brand. This is the thing that you've built. It's representing you. And it's so awful we can't even work here anymore. and she dismissed their complaint.
She poo-pooed them and said, nope, not a big deal whatsoever. They ended up saying that we're going to sue you, so she settled with them, allegedly, for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Leslie Sloan, the same PR woman that is embroiled in all of this, this entire ridiculous lawsuit, was the PR woman who made all of that stay quiet.

Chapter 2: What scandal is surrounding Blake Lively?
Because again, we were called cruel for asking about his health and pointing out the obvious. And yet again, here it is. But again, Unfortunately, the story can't just end there, because this diagnosis, this announcement, also comes at a very particular time.
And people on X were very quick to point this out, because Jake Tapper in Axios' Alex Thompson's book detailing the cover-up of Biden's decline was literally set to be released the very next day. Just very interesting, very convenient that this would happen less than 24 hours before this bombshell book was set to come out.
I mean, even Jake Tapper, who was literally writing this book, even though he helped cover all of this up, he has even acknowledged that we were right and we all deserve answers.
And on top of that, just last week, in the midst of allegedly getting this awful, horrifying surprise diagnosis, he was on The View, which was all part of a whole other press tour that he had embarked on recently over the last couple of weeks, probably to direct attention away from the book.
The people who wrote those books were not in the White House with us. And they didn't see how hard Joe worked every single day.
And I hate to say it, but maybe when that didn't work, they had to figure out something else. And now that the diagnosis has been revealed, a Democratic advisor was quick to say that the conversation about his decline should be, quote, muted. This is from David Axelrod, a longtime Democratic operative and former Barack Obama advisor.
Said on CNN, minutes after the diagnosis was revealed, the conversations about Biden's mental acuity, quote, should be more muted and set aside for now as he's struggling through this. Okay, it's always going to be something. We're cruel if we bring it up. We're ridiculous. He's totally healthy. It's totally fine. But now that we know that he's not totally fine, we just can't talk about it.
We have to shut up. Jake Tapper, don't release your book. Nobody go read the book because that's too cruel. I mean, guys, this is like the quintessential left-wing playbook.
I mean, you guys have seen this online, there are memes about this, we have talked about it on the show for years at this point, but that classic formula is that we, or just common sense people, just anyone, will point something out that is crazy or wrong, and their response will be, actually, you guys are the problem, because that's not happening at all, and then eventually, over time, it turns out that we're right, and that thing, whatever it is, ends up happening, and then their response is, okay, well, yeah, it's happening, but actually, it's a very good thing, and actually, we should just be silent about it all.
