Gina’s News
1st Story is on Obama’s final speech as president and she plays some clips from it, Adam says he is a great orator and he loved the first 10min but hated the segment on race.

Adam says there is a questionnaire for figuring out how race relations are, Jay weighs in and then busts out some character work to make it funny.

Jay busts out the Big Momma impression and they both compliment Obama and Jay says Adam doesn’t like the race part as he’s a white guy and someone like George Wallace loved that portion of the speech.

Jay reframes Adam’s question and calls it amazing, Adam doesn’t want to hear the constant chorus of racism and white privilege, that’s not how it works.
Gary now has the clip of Obama talking about race and inequality, the same endless speech we’ll hear until we die.
Jay says the fatal flaw in this is based on the population numbers, he’s mostly speaking to white people and Adam says the government is not ever going to fix what Obama is talking about.
Only an individual family can fix those issues, even he couldn’t do it.
Gina has a great point about self-empowerment and how it’s the one thing he won’t say, he won’t address the personal element where someone has to work to achieve what they want.
Adam has Big Momma talk about ‘Champion’ some more and Adam talks about his wife’s ethnicity and how she’s not some legacy slave owner, nor is he.
Adam would like a tip of the cap for the guy who built the company and the factory, instead of hating him for being the employer of the employees, that he employs.
They got back to the speech and Adam asks who said they weren’t willing to invest in the education for the children of immigrants, Jay has some good points about the straw man argument Obama was perhaps presenting.

3rd Story is on Trump going to war with a reporter over his tax returns, Jay says his retorts are perfect and Adam says this perfect as everyone will have to go in the swamp with Trump, it only took this reporter moments to engage in the schoolyard tactics right back at him.
They play the clip again and Adam says it will soon start with them yelling “Melania’s pussy stinks” at these press conferences.
Gina has another clip of Trump talking about handing his empire over to his kids, Adam thinks this is going to be perfect.
