[@Ketsuekisan]

"What job have you committed" is a hell of a Freudian slip from a CEO.

[@stewy497]

And he actually could have kept going and made it "committed to" instead, that probably would have sounded better.

[@rabbit251]

Yeah, meant to say "crime" as in the same as what he had done.

[@CL-go2ji]

That was BEAUTIFUL!

[@tiffbeevachou108]

Exactly.

[@joymarcushahn]

I’m pretty sure it was the Senator who said that, not the CEO

[@goodtroublemaker143]

“What job have you committed?” Oops. Time to audit that dude

[@UlshaRS]

"I only took a 50k salary" and you can hear him slamming the breaks on the well worn bragging of how he explains the alternate compensation packages awards himself to avoid paying taxes when he remembers he's not at a CEO mixer and these people might actually be able to get a IRS to turn over his papers.

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

The Teamster guy forgot to ask about stock options.

[@cleverusername9369]

With respect, I believe you'll find that the things that stop a car are called brakes, not breaks.

[@sommmeguy]

Yep. Stock options, loans to self, contracting out to your own companies and those of your buddies (who are very generous to you). If you depend on your salary as an owner/CEO you don't deserve it.

He's clearly an immortal who has been saving prudently since about the eruption at Pompeii.

[@BrutalSnuggles]

Fyi, if you're wondering what he meant with the 'so you hid money' comment. He kept his salary low because that's taxable, and had his businesses pay his personal expenses and kept his wealth in the business. Gets to lie to his employees about his earnings and make a fuckload of money

[@tirsden]

The part of that teamster vs CEO clip that really gets me, is right after the teamster says, "You mean you hid money." The CEO suddenly turning away while pointing at the teamster like, "Mommy, the big kid is bullying me!" after talking smack and making wild accusations himself... really showed what the CEO was made of right there in that one, precious moment. 🤣🤣🤣

[@drewengel7073]

The weird thing is that the Senator could have thrown back to the Teamster, the history of the union, as the union handed the pension fund to the Mafia so they could build Vegas.

[@FakeSchrodingersCat]

@@drewengel7073 Loaned the money, Hoffa didn't just hand the money over to the mob he loaned it to them at high interest and the teamsters pension fund made a lot of money off of that deal. It went from 400 million to 1.5 billion in 10 years and that is in 1970s money.

As a retired UPS Local 705 Teamster out of Chicago, I have to say thank you to the Late Night team for including the Teamster boss Mr. O'Brien in tonight's Closer Look. He reminded me of my union stewards in that they never took sh*t from management. The union dues I paid every week were worth it! I was a proud Teamster! Another brilliant Closer Look!

[@carlyar5281]

Watching the full interaction was hilarious! I think Mr. O’Brien did a fantastic job! I’ve never been part of the union, and used to believe a lot of the lies that the right spread about unions… but the more I’m watching in the last few years, my opinion has changed and I see real value in unions. I am really glad to see them fighting back against these crooks who are profiting off of policies created from the failed Reaganomics.

[@trevorxlindeman1798]

Mullins actually lied about the salary he paid himself. His financial statement from 2012 listed his salary as nearly $92,000, the year he was first elected to Congress. The financial statement also has other income that year of over $200,000. He sold the business shortly after being elected to Congress which is why his net worth ballooned to between $30-$75M.

[@bassistmike1987]

I’m shocked! 😂 Nice research

I've been arrested 48 times and counting for articles I wrote exposing dirty kops and politicians. In the USSA. NYC. NH. Maine. Mass. all jailed me falsely over and over on IMAGINARY charges like "ATTEMPTED contempt of court" (!!!) and "ATTEMPTED harassment of city hall!" CURRENTLY, I'm being charged in NH with "insults which COULD cause a fight" (!!!), and they raided my home and stole over $50,000 of my musical instruments. A year later, cops in maine stole the remaining $20,000 of my rare musical gear. They stole my van, my scooter, my clothes, my EVERYTHING. Because not one journalist will tell the truth, and the ACLU protects dirty kops 99% of the time, cuz the RICH donate to each ACLU branch annually, to say "PUMP THE BRAKES" on that civil rights crap! The ACLU were busted as TOTAL grfiters in the Johnny Depp trial, but the press downplayed that part!

[@jonbongjovi1869]

HALF my 48 false arrests in the USSA have been for........POLITICAL CARTOONS I DREW!! (EX: Then-Mayor Looney Giuliani hated me and my cartoons humiliating him so much.......he smeared me and insulted me on tv and radio 12 times! Not one of my allies had my back (!!) -- cuz all were afraid they'd be NEXT!) Not one person PAID to protect me or free speech has ever helped in any of my 48 false arrests. NH, over the past 4 years, has literally cancelled 100% OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS. I literally have no rights of any kind to FIGHT THE CURRENT FALSE ARREST (for exposing the crimes of a NH police chief to the public!). They say I have no right to ANY TRIALS (nevermind SPEEDY TRIAL!), and no right to know ANY of the status of my cases (!!!) and no right to Discovery or evidence or witnesses. HOW DIRTY ARE THEY? The DA BRAGGED of having destroyed over 20,000 PUBLIC RECORDS.....and EVIDENCE in my arrests (!!!)......and ALL VIDEO too......(!!!).....and he did this in a n email to the PRESS and ACLU!! When kops are admitting to the press and ACLU that they DESTROYED PUBLIC RECORDS TO COVER UP FALSE ARRESTS OF JOURNALISTS & CARTOONISTS......nothing is more chilling. It means he KNEW not one person would defend the Bill of Rights or ANY LAWS. And he was right. The press hides millions of police crimes per day. Heck, we just found out THIS WEEK for the first time ever......that the press & govt COVERED UP 1700 train derailments last year alone in ONE nation! (Murica!) 3 train crashes PER DAY??? Every day every year/????
