00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:09.919
Calarogu Shark Media from Washington, DC, where we have too
2
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:11.960
many stories for Monday, so we might as well drop
3
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.519
an extra episode. This is ballot. That's right.
4
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.440
With a debate on Tuesday, most of these stories will
5
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.679
go stale, so let's collect some sweet.
6
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:21.559
Mid roll advertising money. Let's hit this.
7
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.239
It looks like the political world just got flipped upside
8
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.679
down faster than a pancake at an ihap. Dick Cheney,
9
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:30.559
the man who once shot a friend in the face
10
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.759
and made him apologize, has decided to aim his political
11
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.960
firepower at Donald Trump instead. In a plot twist that
12
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.200
would make m Night Shyamalan jealous, Cheney's throwing his support
13
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:44.039
behind Kamala Harris. That's right, the architect of the Iraq
14
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.920
War is now on Team Democrat. I guess Hell really
15
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.479
did freeze over and pigs are currently doing loop de
16
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.280
loops over Washington. Cheney called Trump the greatest threat to
17
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.039
our republic in our nation's two hundred and forty eight
18
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:59.079
year history. Coming from a guy who practically wrote the
19
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:00.759
book on being a police boogieman.
20
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:03.640
That's like Darth Vader calling someone else to evil.
21
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.439
Meanwhile, Trump's response was about as mature as you'd expect.
22
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.359
I'm surprised he didn't add nin or Nina.
23
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:13.599
At the end, Liz Cheney, not to be outdone by
24
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:17.079
her dad, unleashed a verbal SmackDown on Trump and jd Vance,
25
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:21.519
calling them misogynistic pigs. I guess in the Cheney household,
26
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.599
that's what passes for dinner table conversation. The Harris campaign,
27
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.840
probably pinching themselves to make sure they're not dreaming, said
28
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:33.040
there deeply respects his courage to put country over party. Translation,
29
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.239
Holy cow, did Dick Cheney just endorse us?
30
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:38.640
Quick? Someone check if the sky is falling?
31
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.439
Trump took to truth Social, you know, that bastion of
32
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.159
free speech where the truth goes to die, to warn
33
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.079
us all about the dangers of unscrupulous behavior. That's rich
34
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.000
coming from a guy whose idea of scruples is deciding
35
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:53.879
whether to have two or three scoops of ice cream
36
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.280
for dessert. He's promising to prosecute anyone who cheats in
37
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.159
the twenty twenty four election. I guess he's finally he
38
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.599
found a way to get his family some quality time together.
39
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.680
And let's not forget his favorite catchphrase, when I win,
40
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:11.280
It's like he's trying to manifest victory through capslock. Next
41
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:13.960
he'll be telling us he can change election results by
42
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.199
clicking his heels three times and saying there's no place
43
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.919
like mar A Lago.
44
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:20.520
But wait, there's more.
45
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.960
Trump's hit list includes lawyers, political operatives, donors, and even
46
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.039
illegal voters. I'm pretty sure he just described his entire
47
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:33.599
twenty sixteen campaign team. And don't worry, corrupt election officials,
48
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.719
you're on the naughty list too. It's like Santa's List,
49
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.199
but instead of coal, you get a free stay at
50
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.599
Club Fed. Anyway, I'm glad the list doesn't involve podcasters,
51
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.960
and I want to remind everyone what a handsome, well
52
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.439
hung smart, generous man Donald Trump is with great hair. Well, folks,
53
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.840
it looks like we've got ourselves a regular political circus
54
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:57.840
and JD. Vance is trying to walk a tightrope without
55
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.439
a net. Let's dive into this three rings spectacles, shall we.
56
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.400
In one corner, we've got Tucker Carlson, the bow tie
57
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.759
enthusiast turned conspiracy theorist, giving a platform to a guy
58
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.120
who thinks the Holocaust was just a big oopsie daisy.
59
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:15.639
Because nothing says responsible journalism like rewriting one of history's
60
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.759
greatest atrocities as an accidental spring break gone wrong.
61
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:20.199
Then we've got JD.
62
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.919
Vance, Trump's running mate and apparently the world's most reluctant
63
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:28.240
fact checker, refusing to denounce this historical revisionism. His stance,
64
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.439
we believe in free speech and debate, sure, JD. And
65
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.039
I believe in unicorns and calorie free chocolate. Vance's campaign
66
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.719
is basically saying we don't agree with the crazy.
67
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.199
But we'll hang out with it anyway. Yeah.
68
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.879
I made that mistake once the sex was good, but
69
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.400
now she won't stop texting me. It's like saying I
70
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.360
don't believe in flatter theory, but I'll still go to
71
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:49.960
their conventions for the free snacks.
72
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.120
So there you have it, folks. JD.
73
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.319
Vance is still planning to chat with Tucker Carlson on
74
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.479
the twenty first, presumably to discuss whether the moon landing
75
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.800
was faked and if Elvis is still alive.
76
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:03.639
It looks like JD.
77
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.800
Vance has solved the childcare crisis, and his revolutionary solution
78
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.360
is Grandma.
79
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.719
That's right. Forget about policy reforms or increased funding.
80
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:14.919
Just call up old Nana and tell her to dust
81
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.680
off her apron Vance's groundbreaking plan seems to be, Hey,
82
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.439
you know that relative who's been dying to spend more
83
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.920
time with your screaming toddler, Let's guilt them into free labor.
84
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.000
Because nothing says fiscal responsibility like exploiting family bonds for
85
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:30.839
economic gain.
86
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:32.680
But wait, there's more.
87
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.279
If you don't have a convenient grandparent lying around, Vance
88
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:37.839
has another ace up his sleeve.
89
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.040
His solution make it easier for people who.
90
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:45.279
Love kids to become daycare workers, because apparently the only
91
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.839
thing standing between little Timmy and quality care is a pesky,
92
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.480
ridiculous certification that has nothing to do with taking care
93
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:57.160
of kids, you know, trivial things like first aid, child
94
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.959
development or knowing how to stop a toddler from eating glue.
95
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.360
Vance seems to think childcare workers are currently required to
96
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.439
have a six year college degree. I hate to break
97
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.319
it to you, JD, but most states don't even require
98
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.560
a bachelor's degree for childcare workers. It's almost as if
99
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:18.439
he's not quite what's the word informed. Meanwhile, social media
100
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.600
users are having a field day. One person pointed out
101
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.839
that they want grandma to work until she's seventy two,
102
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.800
So how exactly is she supposed to babysit. I guess
103
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.639
in Vance's world, retirement is just a fancy word for
104
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.839
unpaid childcare provider. Then there was Vance winning at America's
105
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.519
favorite game show, Who can say the most tone deaf
106
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:38.800
thing about gun violence?
107
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.800
Today's contestant JD. Vance.
108
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.079
Vance declared that school shootings have become a fact of life.
109
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.439
Vance's solution to this fact of life isn't to address
110
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:52.160
the root cause. Oh no, it's to turn our schools
111
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:56.120
into fortresses. Trump, not to be outdone in the empathy department,
112
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.319
chimed in with his own pearls of wisdom. It's a
113
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:03.600
sick and angry and we're going to heal our world. Well,
114
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.720
thank goodness for that. I was worried we'd have to
115
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.319
rely on actual policy changes or something crazy like that. Meanwhile,
116
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.920
Trump is trying to modify the twenty fifth Amendment.
117
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.839
I guess when you can't beat him, you just rewrite
118
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:18.519
the constitution.
119
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:22.040
Right. It's like he's playing monopoly and decided to add
120
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.560
a get out of vice president free card. Our spray
121
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.759
tand constitutional scholar wants to make it easier to boot
122
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.560
out a VP who lies or engages in a conspiracy.
123
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.240
I'm sorry did Trump just accidentally advocate for his own removal?
124
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:41.199
That's like Colonel Sanders campaigning against fried Chicken. He's claiming
125
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.639
there's a cover up of Biden's mental state. Coming from
126
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.399
a guy who thinks windmills cause cancer and that we
127
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:51.720
should nuke hurricanes, that's rich. It's like the pot calling
128
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:58.399
the kettle orange.
129
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:02.279
Well.
130
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.800
Well, well, looks like there's trouble brewing in the land
131
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:06.079
of sequins and touchdowns.
132
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:06.480
Folks.
133
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:10.480
Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes, once the dynamic duo of
134
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.800
the Chief's Kingdom, are now playing musical suites faster than
135
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:19.560
Travis Kelcey runs roots. Picture this Arrowhead Stadium, September fifth,
136
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.360
twenty twenty four. The Chiefs are facing off against the Ravens,
137
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:28.240
but all eyes are on the VIP suites. Why you ask, Well,
138
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.800
usually you'd find Taylor and Brittany side by side, cheering
139
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:33.800
on their men and serving up more chemistry than a
140
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:37.920
high school science fair. But this time they're in separate suites,
141
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.560
looking about as comfortable as a vegan at a BBQ contest.
142
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.639
Now, let's rewind a bit. Turns out Brittany.
143
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:49.639
Mahomes, wife of quarterback Extraordinary Patrick Mahomes decided to play
144
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.079
a little game of like that post with none other
145
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:56.040
than Donald Trump's Instagram. The post in question a lovely
146
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.279
little listicle titled make America great Again, featuring greatest it's
147
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.519
like keeping men out of women's sports and cutting funding
148
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.160
for critical race theory. You know, just your average, everyday,
149
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:12.040
non controversial political stance. Swifties being the eagle eyed detectives,
150
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.480
they are caught wind of this faster than you can
151
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:18.079
say anti hero. Twitter exploded like it was the fourth
152
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:21.120
of July, with fans wondering how anyone could support a
153
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.839
guy with more legal troubles than hit singles. Brittany, feeling
154
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.560
the heat, fired back on Instagram with a post about
155
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:31.800
haters and childhood issues, because nothing says I'm handling this
156
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:36.279
well like accusing your critics of needing therapy. Meanwhile, our
157
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.080
girl Taylor's been quieter than a library during finals week.
158
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.639
She hasn't endorsed anyone for twenty twenty four yet, but
159
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:43.559
let's just say she.
160
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.799
And Trump go together like pineapple on pizza. It's a
161
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:47.639
hard note from her.
162
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.799
So here we are back at Arrowhead with Taylor and
163
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.000
Brittany watching the game from different zip codes.
164
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:55.000
Is this the end of Swiftny?
165
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.000
Has politics finally tackled their friendship or is this just
166
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:02.440
a timeout before the back to twinning and grinning plus
167
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:06.519
Trump's over on truth social thanking beautiful Brittany like she
168
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.080
just won Miss Maga. Swift, on the other hand, is
169
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.919
probably writing her next hit, We Are Never Ever Getting
170
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:17.480
