The President looked you dead in the eye and told you he "doesn't want to hear about affordability." This is what they voted for.
Yo, Josh Johnson has been killing it as a daily show host. Fantastic decision to add him to the lineup!
"And if black people could get loans, I'd be worried." Josh is brilliant. Give him as many shows as possible, please. He shows such an amazing combination of intellect, poise, empathy, and sense of humor that really can't be matched. Oh, and he can also just say when things are bad without being too corporate about it...hopefully, Paramount doesn't get their talons into him and start limiting his speech like they do to Jon and the rest.
You joke about 'generational debt'.. but that's _exactly_ what they want.
When Trump said “we’re gonna be rich” he didn’t mean you average joe and sally.
Exactly… “people know when they eat or not”. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Josh killing it at the desk. He's a natural, and I'm so glad to see him there 🥰
Trump heard *"Great"* Depression and couldn't resist getting us back there.
Josh thank you so much for explaining the 50 years crazy mortgage plan, and the $2.000 tariff check. He is saying this to keep his followers happy!😂😮
Literally passing away before you pay off your home. Never actually owning anything...just borrowing it from some wealth-hoarders, and working your whole life in indentured servitude. The American Dream.
