What is Jon Stewart's take on Trump's trade policies?
No, no, no, no. Really? No, no. We're not talking your SAT scores.
Oh, yeah, that's right. Because it's all about merit and high test scores until it looks like this. And then suddenly we got to defend the white boys like it's a rape case at Kappa Sigma Phi. That was settled out of court. Yeah, yeah. It's all meritocracy until we get those H-1Bs and take your coding jobs and, oh, it's not fair. Yeah. Does black beat Asian? No. Your days are numbered, Costa.
Chang out.
Back to you, John. Thank you very much, Michael. You know, I guess if there's one thing that we've learned here today... Is it because of the Jewish thing or the age thing? Doesn't matter.
I guess not.
When we come back, my guest will be Mo Ammer. Stick around. I'm Gentile Stewart.
