[ laughter ] in eight 60s, lau llaugh in one of the hottest programs on tvs, and the characters we associated with lily tomlin became famous then and turned her into a huge star. she was hip. she was not doing material about being a frustrated wife. she was doing character material, and it was new and different and brilliant. said you went to college. they did? i m not going to college when i grow up. i seen pictures where they shoot you in college. her characters were no longer just innocuous, whacky, and weird. they started to become characters with a subtle political point of view. recently i did my most elient sculpture eloquent sculpture. i used four gallons of vanilla ice-cream and molded the first family. then i invited friends over and
concerned about this doj themselves? well, look, it s not illegal for lawmakers to pass on whacky conspiracy theories to mark meadows or for him to pass those on to the justice department, but there was such a massive effort here to co-author power. we saw that where the justice department officials talked about what was happening in the inner sanctum. at some point, it starts to look like a conspiracy. if i remember any of these lawmakers whose text messages were in this batch, i would not been comfortable. indeed. thank you very much. coming up, a shake up at twitter. who got canceled last night. first though, where you ll save and where you ll spend. the latest inflation numbers came out overnight. what the white house says is encouraging. what the white house says is
