Speaker 2 So, when I ask, what is Odoo? What comes to mind?

Speaker 4 Well, Odo is a bit of everything.

Speaker 2 Odo is a suite of business management software that some people say is like fertilizer because of the way it promotes growth.

Speaker 2 But you know, some people also say Odo is like a magic bean stock because it grows with your company and is also magically affordable.

Speaker 2 But then again, you could look at Odoo in terms of how its individual software programs are a lot like building blocks.

Speaker 2 I mean, whatever your business needs: manufacturing, accounting, HR programs, you can build a custom software suite that's perfect for your company. So, what is Odoo?

Speaker 2 Well, I guess Odoo is a bit of everything. Odo is a fertilizer, magic bean stock building blocks for business.

Speaker 9 Yikes, Fox News was collapsing and glitching on air.

Speaker 9 You had Sean Hannity trying to say that the shooting that took place in Minneapolis justifies Donald Trump sending the National Guard to invade cities and states across the country, specifically blue cities and states.

Speaker 9 But as he's talking about this, they're showing video of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., picking up trash on the floor and visiting tourist attractions, which is what's taking place right now here.

Speaker 11 Play this clip.

Speaker 12 But this horrific act of violence during the first week of school only underscores the need for more law and order and safety and security all around the country.

Speaker 12 This is something that we have been debating for weeks, something that President Trump now has put in the forefront of his agenda over the past several weeks with a lot of opposition on the left, sending in the National Guard troop, for example, to clean up crime in D.C.

Speaker 9 And then in a very despicable moment, Laura Ingraham, who's always despicable, she has this guest on who says that,

Speaker 9 why would Congress blame Donald Trump for the January 6th insurrection, yet we're not going to blame Governor Walls in New York and Chicago for these shootings.

Speaker 9 What the hell are you talking about, Sicko? Here, play this clip.

Speaker 13 Yet Congress stood around and watched and blame President Trump for using his position on January 6th, yet they're not going to hold Jacob Frye.

Speaker 13 Tampon Tim Waltz and all of their contemporaries in New York, Chicago, Boston, and Los Angeles responsible for using their positions to provide cover and to allow these people to go out and do these things.

Speaker 9 And folks, but 85% of Americans want common sense gun reform. We don't think that weapons of war should get in the hands of freaking sickos and disturbed and mentally ill and dangerous.

Speaker 9 criminals and terrorists like the people who engage in these heinous acts. And it is about making sure we get guns off the street.
It's also about mental health as well.

Speaker 9 But MAGA Republicans want more weapons of war than they defund mental health.

Speaker 6 That's an important point.

Speaker 9 They defund mental health across the country. They take away grants and they help cause the problems.
Here you have Jesse Waters saying that

Speaker 9 people who are trans he feels sorry for.

Speaker 9 It's not that I hate them. I feel sorry for them.
Here, play this clip.

Speaker 14 I don't hate anyone who thinks they're trans. I feel sorry for them.
But statistically, the trans population has been prone to violence. That's not villainizing.
That's reality.

Speaker 14 And if you can't recognize reality, you're in danger.

Speaker 9 And again, stop bullying the trans community. Stop talking about weird things like Cracker Barrel or

Speaker 9 Sidney Sweeney's jeans. Let's just be normal and let's focus on issues.
Let's get weapons of war off the street.

Speaker 9 Let's focus on making healthcare free and affordable for everyone and education the same and helping people get jobs with dignity where they can afford homes and afford rent and not live paycheck to paycheck in the richest country in the history of the world.

Speaker 9 Like, what are we talking about here? This coverage by Fox is so utterly disturbed. And it's really embodied here by Sean Hannity, who goes, this is all preventable.
You know what you need to do?

Speaker 9 Metal detectors, military at school. You put the military, you do metal detectors, you control the perimeters.
You got people on the rooftop snipers constant.

Speaker 9 What are you talking about? Just get weapons of war off the street. It's obvious what needs to be done.
Play this clip.

Speaker 12 and here's the saddest part school shootings are preventable and simple basic common sense actions can mitigate these tragedies if we have the desire to stop school shootings this is the first thing you should do every school in the country should have a metal detector uh you have them at airports you have them when you're around elected politicians by the way they have armed guards around them uh you have to control the entry of kids and the perimeter around every school And by the way, the way I would do it, I would hire retired military, trained, law enforcement, retired, with concealed carries.

Speaker 12 They should be in every school in the country, along with metal detectors, along with a secure perimeter. Now, for these people that you hire, you could even do it and not pay them.
What do you mean?

Speaker 12 Hannity, everyone's going to work for free? No. Offer them tax incentives if they are willing to volunteer a certain number of hours a week.

Speaker 12 I believe these common sense practices practices would help mitigate these horrific shootings, probably put an end to it.

Speaker 12 And by the way, that means they pay no local taxes, no state taxes, no federal taxes.

Speaker 12 And if they put in enough hours, how about no estate tax if they pass away and they get to do what they want with the money that they've already paid taxes on?

Speaker 12 And, you know, the left's rush to immediately blame Republicans, race to blame guns for every tragedy. It's sad but it's and pathetic, but it's predictable.

Speaker 9 And as long as you have these sicko MAGAs, these vile humans in positions of power who gaslight and behave like sociopaths on their propaganda network like this, this is going to continue to be perpetuated.

Speaker 9 Take a look right here as you've got MAGA Republican Congressmember Donalds. Here's what he says on Laura Ingram here.
Play this clip.

Speaker 15 Congressman,

Speaker 15 liberals kind of rushed in to make their commentary. I guess everyone has a political view and a cultural view of this.

Speaker 15 But your friend Jen Saki posted on X, when kids kids are getting shot at in their pews at a Catholic school mass and your crime plan is to have National Guard put mulch down around D.C., maybe you should rethink your strategy.

Speaker 15 Setting aside the fact that that's a run-on sentence and a non-sequitur, what's your point about that?

Speaker 16 Jen Saki is a hack trying to make a political point.

Speaker 16 The reality is the tragedy that occurred today in Minneapolis is once again where the Democrats are ignoring some of the serious mental health challenges affecting young young people in the United States, especially around gender identity, this transgender movement that they have fully gotten behind.

Speaker 9 And here he is again, play this clip.

Speaker 16 And I will tell you, once again, this is not about guns.

Speaker 16 This is about mental health issues that the radical left refuses to acknowledge comes from their crazy ideology, which is damaging so many children in the United States who are now becoming young adults.

Speaker 9 And then they go into, again, this is what MAGAs, this is what Republicans are mad about as Hemet Meta says sometimes I think about what upsets progressive and it's big societal issues that hurt the most vulnerable among us then I see what upsets conservatives and it's always dumb shit that they probably blow out of proportion because they have no real problems like this play this clip leave it alone or just hear what I want my values and have that be reflected if we had just put our foot down years ago think about what we could have saved Aunt Jemima

Speaker 14 the Indian lady in the Land of Lakes butter, the Redskins, the Cleveland Indians.

Speaker 14 I could go on for days. Look what they took from us, Emily.

Speaker 14 Never again.

Speaker 14 Never again.

Speaker 6 And

Speaker 14 I'm trying to think about all the things that we should have done like this years ago. If we had put our foot down in the 80s, we'd still be smoking on planes.

Speaker 11 Think about the great things we could still be doing if we had just said no, a hard no this episode is brought to you by prize picks preseason football is underway and college football season is here so don't miss any of the action this season on prize picks as someone born on long island y'all know i can't wait to see what justin fields has in store this year prize picks is simple to play just pick more or less on two to six player stat projections if you get your picks right you can cash in and win up to 2,000 times your money.

Speaker 9 And then you have Jesse Waters saying, and I deserve the credit for Cracker Barrel changing their logo back to have the old white man on the logo. They went so woke.
What do you mean they went woke?

Speaker 9 Who was even thinking about the Cracker Barrel logo?

Speaker 6 Like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 9 There are so many issues. We've got ICE disappearing human beings off the street of the United States, throwing them into concentration camps.

Speaker 9 We've got a disastrous trade war against the world as Donald Trump's tariffs are crushing our country. We've got Donald Trump seizing control of private businesses.

Speaker 9 We've got people getting kicked off of Medicaid. 17 million Americans losing their health care.
And this is what they're talking about. Play this clip.

Speaker 14 No, and I'm not giving Trump credit for this. I'm giving Fox credit.

Speaker 14 We covered this story for a week and he watched it for a week and then he basically,

Speaker 14 you know, hit the winning shot. Okay.
Mr. President, nice job, but come on.

Speaker 14 It was all us.

Speaker 9 And here's Sean Hannity whining that I left New York because people don't like me in New York. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 6 Here's my question. Because,

Speaker 3 look.

Speaker 12 I'm perfectly fine with Mom Dani winning. You want to know why? Because it's not going to impact my life.
I left New York. You know why I left New York? High taxes, quality of life, crime.

Speaker 12 I had a hard time going to a restaurant in New York City because people would stare at me and hated me and they had daggers in their eyes. You know what? I'm loved down here in Florida.

Speaker 12 Now, I don't know why New Yorkers are so intolerant, but that was my life in New York. So I left.

Speaker 6 Wait a minute, Sean.

Speaker 18 I thought you left because of Brian Cashman and the Yankees not being able to get together.

Speaker 12 No, I like Brian Cashman, actually. I think he's a pretty good guy.

Speaker 9 Then you have Sean Duffy, MAGA Republican. This guy got he's the secretary of the Department of Transportation.
He got famous from the real world road rules challenge.

Speaker 9 Like all these fools are like reality TV like wackos.

Speaker 9 And Sean Duffy says, we're gonna go to Union Station. We're gonna seize it.
We're gonna take control of Union Station. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 1 What can people expect the changes to be?

Speaker 19 So first off, DOT owns Union Station and we've had a lot of partners that we've subleased to or we've leased to.

Speaker 19 We're going to take it back and we're going to drive out the homelessness.

Speaker 6 We're going to drive out the crime

Speaker 19 and we are going to I think bring in more retailers, I think more customers. It'll be better revenue.

Speaker 20 And again, this is our capital city.

Speaker 19 It should be beautiful and the president wants a beautiful capital. I want a beautiful capital.

Speaker 19 And so this plan is going to make Union Station represent the president's vision of what America can and should look like.

Speaker 9 I mean, these are all like weak, mostly weak men, but these are weak people. They can't stand up to Vladimir Putin.
So what do they do? They go and they attack democratic states.

Speaker 9 They attack blue states and blue cities and marginalized communities because that makes them feel tough because they're weak people. If they were strong people, they would stand up to Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 9 They would stand up to Kim Jong-moon. They would actually stand up for a robust and strong American foreign policy.
And they would stand up for people and the most vulnerable among us, not punch down.

Speaker 9 Play this clip of Jesse Waters saying that, look, when it comes to Fox, we prey on our audience. We're predators on Fox.
Look what he says.

Speaker 9 We're predators. We sell reverse mortgages to old people and gold to old people.
We can't sell them to young people, he says. He's saying it in his own words, what their freaking scam is.

Speaker 9 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 14 But it's like they tried to make it younger but cracker barrels for old people It's like trying to sell reverse mortgages to young people or gold or relief factor or my pillow or all the things we sell on Fox.

Speaker 14 You just have to keep Your audience happy with what they're used to

Speaker 14 That's why people will be watching Fox until they die

Speaker 9 Then you have Dana Perino, one of the Fox hosts, saying that she's not all that excited about Cracker Barrel. It's not as big as

Speaker 9 going after Budweiser or Bud Light. Play this clip.

Speaker 18 Yes.

Speaker 17 So I have not been able to get extra excited about this. You can ask my America's Newsroom producer.
It's been a tough one for me. I don't think it's like Bud Light.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 17 With Bud Light, you had the vice president of marketing trashing their customers. You had a whole corporate equality index that had to be checked off.
And you had Dylan Mulvaney.

Speaker 17 They took a redesign of a logo and people have lost their minds.

Speaker 9 And I think Winsom Sears, the MAGA Republican candidate for governor of Virginia, this kind of sums up how MAGAs view the world, where she's like, life is bad. Life hits you hard.

Speaker 9 You come out of the womb screaming and that's how things are going to be. For them, life is always about suffering.
And they want more suffering.

Speaker 9 So they view their own success as relative to the suffering of others versus how do we lift each other up out of suffering. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 17 You know, life is going to hit you hard and you have to be prepared for it. You come out of the womb screaming.
That ought to be an indication of how things are going to be.

Speaker 9 And then you have Jesse Waters trying to spin the fact that you have the National Guard cleaning up trash now and saying, DC's so safe that the National Guard just gets to clean up trash.

Speaker 14 DC's so safe, the Guard doesn't have any criminals left to chase. They're picking up litter, cleaning up the park so Stephen Miller can take his wife on a romantic stroll under the moonlight.

Speaker 9 And then finally, you have Mike Nellis, who's been doing a really good job.

Speaker 9 He goes on Jesse Waters and he just spits facts. Watch what happens.
Let's play it.

Speaker 6 People are scared of strays, but go ahead.

Speaker 20 No, because

Speaker 20 I'm willing to support, I'm happy to support having more police on the streets of Chicago to help keep us safe.

Speaker 20 The problem is, in Donald Trump's budget that he signed by the Republicans, he cut community police funding by $2 billion, which means there'll be fewer police on the streets.

Speaker 20 Mike, you guys are not going to be able to do it.

Speaker 6 Because Donald Trump isn't interested in the police. They don't talk about cutting the police.

Speaker 20 No, Donald Trump is the one who funded the police.

Speaker 14 Everybody knows the Democrats deepening the police.

Speaker 20 Did Donald Trump sign the Republican budget?

Speaker 14 He's just over the country, Mike.

Speaker 6 I don't have time to debate that.

Speaker 14 But I respect that you are from Chicago and you want to be safe and you don't want to see a tank. when you see the White Sox lose, and that's okay.
That's okay.

Speaker 20 I want to, first of all, I want to cut stand before I'm a White Sox fancy. Okay, good.
