“Jorge Santos? Why do you have a baby? the day asks
“No one seems to know,” Yang replies before handing the baby to Gardner and saying, “Just put him in an Uber.”
Yang then offers her condolences to Day, saying, “I want you to know that I voted for you and to understand this, and so does Shoshanna Loggins.” To which Day replies, “Who is that?”
“Me too,” joked Day’s lying legislator with a supposed penchant for identity fraud.
Day then asks if he should try to run for speaker another time. “Well, look, I’d be lying if I said yes,” Yang says. “So, yeah,” then he takes a call that he said was from Tupac and responds, “Girl, I know. “Jada is crazy.”

“Yeah, well, that’s because I prefer Jordans who win, okay?” Johnson said. “Like the great Michael Jordan or the even greater Jordin Sparks. ‘No air’, remember that? That was a song. Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe without air. You can not. You can not do it”.
Johnson then boasts that people say he would be a great speaker, while alluding to Trump’s 91 felony charges.
“Unfortunately, I will be too busy campaigning, traveling from city to city, visiting your beautiful courtrooms,” he said. “But I’m doing great things for the courts. Great things for the courts.”
Day begins to vent, telling Johnson, “I did exactly what you would do. Intimidation. Threats. Because I did not work?
