Children tranned pped in wells, ten years ago yesterday, the balloon boy hoax. A man in colorado made a bogus 911 call, claiming his 6yearold son climbed into a weather balloon and flew away. My 6yearold boy, he got inside and it took off. Wheres he at . Hes in the air. Hes in the air . Yeah. Hes only, hes only 6. Jimmy turned out, the fact that the kid was only 6 was the only true part of the call. At first everyone was panicked. It made no sense. Theres no way balloon like that could lift a 60pound kid. They closed down airports in denver. The kid was in the attic. Turns out his father told him to hide in the attic so he could play dumb about the balloon stunt, get a ton of coverage and hopefully a reality show out of it. Unfortunately, for richard heeny, his son spilled the beans. Did you hear us calling us didnt . Mmhm. Why didnt you come out . You said that we did this for a show. No. Jimmy so richard heeny held a press conference to say it wasnt a hoax. Could you just say once an

According to a new poll out today, mayor pete is surging in iowa [ cheers and applause he just passed Bernie Sanders, is now right behind joe biden and
Apparently he just found out g7 doesnt mean you get to play seven rounds of golf [ laughter ] thats right President Trump will no longer hold the upcoming g7 summit at his golf resort in florida yeah, i guess it is a bad idea to commit an Impeachable Offense when youre already being impeached. [ laughter ] that would be like stabbing the bailiff at your murder trial [ laughter ] [ applause ] House Speaker nancy pelosi today distributed a fact sheet outlining what she feels are President Trumps abuses of power. Even more impressive, getting it down to a sheet. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause politico has published a new article about the Campaign Expenses of the top democratic president ial candidates and found that former Vice President joe biden has spent nearly 4,000 on ice cream since july [ light laughter ] that would explain all the brain freezes.

Agree with each other for hours. Ohio is a state where democrats hope will swing back their way. Tonight there are a lot of candidates with a lot to say. The main point i want to make that is not working for americans across this country. It works great for the wealthy. Demonizing and it must change. [ all talking at once ] the doebate is back right after this short break. Jimmy why are there 12 candidates in the debate now . Last debate there were ten. You cant subtract candidates and then add back. You dont go to the final four and then suddenly youre back to the elite eight. Its not the way it works. Amy klobuchar is still shes eight laps behind and stopped to have lunch and shes still in the race. It doesnt make sense. They need to pare this down. Its like the menu at the cheese cake factory. Theres too much to choose from. Lets go through the cheese cake factory and the candidates. Elizabeth warren is the super oxidated salad. Bernie, Chicken Salad sandwich, all over your chin, ma
Im italian, or im an italianamerican and many of my fellow italianamericans get defensive about Christopher Columbus. Im not sure why. First of all, he was working for spain. He wasnt yvoneven working for italy. Second, never even got to north america. He was never here. Did you know that . The closest he got was the bahamas. He died thinking he went to india and found a trade route to china. He did neither one of those things. This was a guy with three boats and a bad sense of direction. [ laughter ] columbus is basically the 1492 version of the people who write first in the youtube comments section. [ laughter ] but for some reason italians think its an insult to you are our ancestry to say no to columbus. Columbus missed india by 9,000 miles and still decided to call everyone he met indians anyway. [ laughter ] you know, Leonardo Da Vinci invented the helicopter in 1493. He drew a helicopter. Why dont we celebrate him . There are 100 maybe 500 more deserving italians we could be cel
