Jia I'm the host of the show that's very kind I thank you for watching happy holidays thank you for uh thank you for joining us here in Hollywood where we are slowly inching into the holiday we no one at work is is working right now everyone is secretly shopping online which makes sense why not spend the money in the same place you make the money it's uh very logical and Washington tonight President Biden took part in the annual lighting of the White House Christmas tree not only did he light the tree this year he gave
it a preemptive pardon just in case it falls over on someone or gets all coed up and throws its gun in the dumpster who knows they kept referring to it as Biden's final tree lighting ceremony which when you're his age probably not what you want to hear everything you could you do could be your final time doing it is could also be his last time wearing shoes outside you know in New York last night they lit the big tree at Rockefeller Center which is supposed to be a fun and festive occasion but that was not
the case for one flave of flave who took to Twitter last night to say I feel weird I was invited to the Rockefeller tree lighting tonight and I was escorted to see my boys the Backstreet Boys like we don't know who his boys are we were backstage in their Dressing Room Security came up to me and says NBC does not want me in this area and I need to leave at the same time their social media woman came up and asked to capture social content what did I ever do to NBC or anyone all I
ever do is try to spread joy and love and I think I did that for NBC at the Olympics and I I agree wholeheartedly with I mean flavor flave flavor flave sponsored two whole water polo teams and now he gets clock blocked by NBC it's not right during the writer strike last year flavor flame showed up he brought food to everyone in the picket line he he did it at the the writer strike before that too and this is how the man gets treated I mean it's not like security could have mistaken him for somebody
else uh there's a man here with a big clock around his neck yeah uh we don't know who he of course you know who this man's whole life is popping up in random places and delighting us he's a real life elf on a shelf and FAA then deleted the tweet and followed up with I deleted the Tweet but my spirit is broken and that's not they broke his Spirit at Christmas this is not something to be taken lightly the man is nothing but spirit and they broke it for about three hours they broke it and
then he tweeted this 2 1 FL the build right Rockell Center baby yeah boy his Spirit his Spirit healed up very quickly and if I was in charge of Rockefeller Center I would put him on top of the tree like an like a flavor Angel but anyway sorry flave you deserve better flavor flave was one of many notable names in attendance at the tree lighting last night also celebrating was a man who was celebrating being charged with five felonies this year New York mayor Eric Adams please welcome the mayor of New York City Eric Adams
and hold on you know mayor Adams cuz he's wearing a hat that says mayor Adams and that's that hat is one of the least embarrassing things about him you know in September the mayor was indicted for wire fraud for bribery for solicitation of contributions from foreign Nationals but that hasn't slowed him down at all he's out there wearing homemade hats and bragging about his Bitcoin we should not be afraid of Bitcoin remember youall laughed at me when I first got my Bitcoin Who's Laughing Now now go look at my Bitcoin now y you all mock
me you're taking your first three paychecks in Bitcoin what's wrong with you now you wish you would have done it that guy it's the mayor of New York what goes on with mayors of New York they're either dullards or nuts there's no in between this man is very possibly going to prison next year he's like don't you wish you were me and then we have another character Pete hegseth who is Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense who's now def defensing himself against allegations of sexual misconduct and drunken behavior in the workplace he has been making
the rounds on Capitol Hill trying to get support from Senators today he wore his shiniest American flag pin his snazziest flag pocket square in his sharpest red white and blue socks to shake hands and to answer some uncomfortable questions what did president-elect Trump tell you Mr H uh he's behind us all the way spoke to him this morning yeah something tells me that might be the last time you speak to the president something tells me we might be able to get Pete Heth Cameo videos for Christmas this year Pete Heth who by the way not
even remotely qualified to be Secretary of Defense that we've already forgotten about but was accused of raping a woman in 2017 he paid her some kind of settlement and in exchange she signed a non-disclosure agreement but now he wants one of the most powerful jobs in the world and so it would make sense to hear her story even for him would be it would make sense but because of the non-disclosure agreement she can't tell it unless he allows it without having to write him a check so Jake Tapper from CNN asked Senator Rick Scott of
Florida who's one of the guys supporting ath if he believes This Woman's story should be shared with the Senate and the world Pete Seth paid her money uh and she signed a non-disclosure agreement so she can't come on my show to talk about it do you think Pete should release her from the NDA so that I can ask her the questions that you want me to absolutely not there's so many there's so think about it Jake you know wa wait wait Jake you started this interview and saying you don't like all these Anonymous accusations and
I should be able to interview these people I'm saying okay shouldn't Pete Heth release this woman from her non-disclosure agreement so that I can do what you suggested at the top of the interview you wanted me to do well absolutely not absolutely not Jake let me be clear I have no human qualities my eyes are completely black like a dark liard and my soul left my body many many years ago it's all very frustrating you wouldn't hire someone to walk your dog if they paid a woman to be quiet about a rape and then we
have vivc ramaswami and Elon Musk the Lenny and Squiggy of trumptown who met with Republicans in Washington today to discuss their new Department of government efficiency we don't know all of what went on in the meeting we can assume that there were a lot of missed high fives but other than that all we know is that one of the Congress people they met with was margorie Taylor green who afterward said uh musk she told reporters musk said he'd be putting lawmakers on a naughty list and a nice list nothing to worry about there just a
foreign born billionaire deciding which of our elected officials get to wake up on Christmas morning and which don't and by the way this group they run Doge has no power to make laws to cut budget or to do anything at it's like when you're a kid and you visit the cockpit the pilot he gives you you get a set of wings it doesn't mean you get to fly the plane now how many of you have seen the new Wicked movie The it's a big head it's all around the world people are seeing it including in
the UK where the British Board of film classification has issued a warning to viewers because one of the characters alphaba faces discrimination due to her green skin for real according to the bbfc website seeing below characters being mistreated especially when alphaba skin colors used to demonize her as the wicked witch may be upsetting and poignant for some audiences so please be warned you may experience poignant during this film who is who is this warning for lizards I mean the Hulk this is the wicked witch is she tried to kill the little girl and her little
dog too I would suggest that if you want to watch something with a progressive green skin message maybe check out the Muppet choke Kermit's been in a an inner species relationship for 50 years now and it's going strong college basketball season is underway and the Loyola Chicago men's basketball team has a very special Super Fan sister Jean Dolores she sister Jean is 105 years old she goes to every game she greets the players when they come in and out of the locker room and with that said this is what happened after they beat Eastern Michigan
