00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:09.599
Calarugus shark media from Tampa, which you might want to

2
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:11.759
avoid today if you have a very contrived hair system

3
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.880
in place. This is ballad, solid Trump joke. Aside. We

4
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.679
hope everyone stays safe today, but I have a job

5
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:20.800
to do, and my job is to make fun of things.

6
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:26.199
So let's hit this well. Well, well, looks like Hurricane

7
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.000
Milton is barreling towards Florida faster than Ron DeSantis can

8
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.759
say don't say gay. And speaking of our dear governor,

9
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:35.640
he's apparently playing hard to get with Vice President Harris.

10
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.640
I guess he thinks ignoring her calls is the political

11
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.039
equivalent of swiping left on Tinder. Reports are that Harris

12
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.880
reached out to DeSantis to offer help, and he blew

13
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.840
her off. DeSantis claims he didn't know Harris called sure, Ron,

14
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.200
and I didn't know there was a hurricane coming until

15
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.799
I saw my neighbor's lawn furniture flying by my window.

16
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:02.600
DeSantis says Harris has no role in hurricane response. I

17
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.079
guess he forgot that being vice president is more than

18
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:09.920
just standing behind the president and nodding enthusiastically. Meanwhile, Harris

19
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:15.040
is calling DeSantis utterly irresponsible and selfish. And let's not

20
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.560
forget about Hurricane Helene, which just finished redecorating Florida's coastline.

21
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.239
I hear the new debris sheykh look is all the

22
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:26.159
rage this season. But the real kicker DeSantis, telling people

23
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.200
that time is going to start running out very very soon.

24
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.480
Thanks for the newsflash, Captain Obvious. I'm sure Floridians thought

25
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:35.239
they had all the time in the world to practice

26
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.879
their backstroke in twelve feet of storm surge. Donald Trump

27
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.519
is accusing the Biden Harris administration of using FEMA funds

28
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.959
to house illegal migrants. Now, I've never made fun of Trump,

29
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:50.079
not even once. How could I with his impeccable memory.

30
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.159
I mean, who else could forget their own actions so completely?

31
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.519
It turns out our dear Donald pulled this very same

32
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.840
move back in twenty nineteen. That's right, folks, Trump, was

33
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.280
you using FEMA's disaster relief piggybank to fund his border

34
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.239
wall fantasies faster than you can say Mexico will pay

35
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.639
for it. And now he's pointing fingers at Biden and Harris.

36
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.879
That's like the kool aid man accusing someone else of

37
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:17.159
property damage. Oh yeah, Meanwhile, the White House is playing

38
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:19.680
whack a mole with these falsehoods faster than Trump can

39
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:23.400
hit send on his next truth social post. FEMA's even

40
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.039
got a fact checking page now I hear it's right

41
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.639
next to their how to Survive a Hurricane guide and

42
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.240
there what to do when a former President raids your

43
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.400
funding Manual. Donald Trump is playing hide and seek with

44
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.240
the media, and he's winning if winning means not being found.

45
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.520
Our former president is dodging interviews faster than a politician

46
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:48.240
dodges tough questions. Joe Scarborough's over on MSNBC, scratching his

47
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.879
head so hard you can almost hear it through the TV.

48
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.520
Trump's skipping sixty minutes. That's like a kid skipping Christmas

49
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.479
morning and turning down a debate on Fox News. No less,

50
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.080
that's like a fish turning down water. Joe said, I've

51
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.479
heard from people inside his campaign, though they're very careful,

52
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.080
a real frustration that they have no idea what this

53
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.479
guy is going to do. He doesn't do the things

54
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.960
he should do to win, and they can't control him

55
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.159
at all. This is just not the behavior of somebody

56
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.800
who wants to win an election. Now, I'm no campaign strategist.

57
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.439
But even I know that avoiding the spotlight in an

58
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.919
election is about as smart as using a sieve to

59
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.639
bail out the Titanic. Trump's campaign folks are probably stress

60
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.840
eating their maga hats right about now. But here's the kicker.

61
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.199
While Trump's playing hard to get with the media, Kamala

62
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.680
Harris is out there chatting it up on sixty Minutes

63
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.080
like it's a coffee date. She's painting a picture of

64
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.280
Trump that's about as flattering as a caricature at a

65
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:48.000
county fair. So what's Trump's game plan? Is he trying

66
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.439
to win by not trying to win? Is this some

67
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.319
sort of four D chest where the goal is to

68
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.280
confuse everyone into voting for you, or maybe he's just

69
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.400
preparing for his next gig, professional Hide and Seek champion.

70
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.759
Trump's team is demanding CBS cough up the unedited transcript

71
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:08.159
of Kamala Harris's Sixty Minutes interview. Apparently they're not satisfied

72
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.719
with the word salad that made it to air. They

73
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:15.199
want the whole menu, seems. Harris's response about neta Yahoo

74
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.560
got a makeover between the preview and the main event.

75
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.199
It went from movements in the region to we need

76
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.279
this war to end. Talk about a quick change artist.

77
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.920
Maybe she's moonlighting as a magician. Trump's campaign is crying foul,

78
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.720
saying CBS pulled a fast one by editing out Harris's

79
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:41.160
idiotic response, Kamala Harris dropped by the view to remind

80
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.000
us all why she's the queen of saying a lot

81
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:47.800
while saying absolutely nothing. First up, hurricane talk, Harris tried

82
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.519
to paint Trump as the Weather Channel's evil twin, claiming

83
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.920
he's about as empathetic to storm victims as a cat

84
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.199
is to a mouse. Meanwhile, she's got her own storm

85
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.519
brewing with Florida's Governor DeSantis. But here's where it gets

86
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.680
really juice. When asked how she'd be different from Biden,

87
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.160
Harris pulled a total blank. It's like asking a mime

88
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:10.040
what their favorite catchphrase is. The Trump campaign always ready

89
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.879
to pounce like a cat on a laser pointer immediately

90
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.439
clipped that moment faster than you can say political gaff.

91
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.920
Oh but wait, Harris did manage to come up with

92
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.839
one difference. She'd put a Republican in her cabinet, because

93
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:26.279
nothing says unity like inviting the opposition to the party.

94
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.360
And then wondering why the punch bowls spiked. Now let's

95
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.800
talk about her big economic reveal. Harris wants to extend

96
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:37.639
Medicare for long term at home senior care. It's aimed

97
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:41.360
at the Sandwich generation, folks stuck between raising kids and

98
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.040
caring for aging parents. In other words, people too busy

99
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.279
to notice their being sold another government program. And of

100
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.600
course we can't forget the classic why is this race

101
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:57.360
so close? Question? Harris's response, basically, people are tired of

102
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:01.279
Trump's shenanigans. Well, it's one way to dodge the question

103
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.600
faster than a politician at a town hall. Does that

104
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.360
mean that if Trump didn't do shenanigans, then Harris would

105
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.120
be down by forty points? What are you telling us,

106
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.199
Kamala that you might just be less horrible? Yeah, most

107
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.439
of us know, we still might not care. Last, but

108
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.879
not least, Harris tried to paint herself as the people's champion.

109
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:24.600
Trump doesn't talk about what you need, she said, unlike Harris,

110
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.040
who talks about what you need but conveniently forgets to

111
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.240
mention how she'll actually deliver it. When asked if she'd

112
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.319
change anything from Biden's term, Harris basically said, now we're

113
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:39.199
crushing it. Yeah, because a forty one percent approval rating

114
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.600
is totally worth bragging about. That's like bragging about your

115
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.360
D plus and math class. Look, ma, I almost passed

116
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.319
forty one percent. That's the kind of number that makes

117
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.519
you look desperate. Sitting across from a seventy year old

118
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.879
shock jock who used black face and dropped the N

119
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.560
word a few times, man, it's a good thing, Howard

120
00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:59.600
made fun of Imus for sticking around too long and

121
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.959
talking about politics. Harris tried to convince us she's the

122
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.480
candidate of change, you know, because nothing says fresh perspective

123
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.079
like someone who's as new and exciting as a rerun

124
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.240
of Golden Girls. A seventy year old shock jock with

125
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.560
jet black hair has found his new favorite candidate. Howard

126
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.040
Stern is throwing his support behind Kamala Harris, and boy,

127
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.920
did Kamala serve up a feast of zingers for old Howard.

128
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:25.279
Doing her appearance on the show, she basically called Trump

129
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.800
a fanboy of dictators, saying he gets played by them

130
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:33.959
because he thinks that they're his friends. Kamala, did you

131
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.560
say someone was getting played because they think they are friends,

132
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:41.279
google Howard Stern, blackface and get back to me. We

133
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.560
also learned that Kamala's a Formula one fan. I guess

134
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.240
she likes her politics like she likes her racing, fast,

135
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.199
furious and with a chance of crashing and burning. And

136
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.920
get this, she's not a fan of her husband's taste

137
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:56.120
in music. Depeche mode more like depress mode. Am I right?

138
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.560
But the real shocker. Kamala starts her day watching Morning

139
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.839
Joe working out. Talk about a glutton for punishment. Most

140
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.480
people need coffee to wake up, but Kamala needs a

141
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.439
dose of political outrage and finally her serial of choice,

142
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:17.600
Raisin Bran and Special k. How exciting, I guess, Vice President,

143
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:20.680
They're just like us. Doesn't quite have the same ring

144
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.680
to it. So there you have it, folks. While politicians

145
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.439
are busy giving each other the cold shoulder, mother Nature's

146
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:29.720
about to give Florida the world's biggest unwonted hug. This

147
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.600
is mec Davies reminding you that in politics, sometimes the

148
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.639
only thing more destructive than a Category five hurricane is

149
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:40.000
a category five ego. Portions of today's show were made

150
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:44.440
with the help of AI. Stay safe if you're in Florida,
