00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.119
Calarogu Shark Media from Washington, DC, where hopefully someone will
2
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.359
remember to hit publish on the podcast today. This is ballad. Yeah,
3
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:15.599
what time did this thing actually go out? Yesterday? Four
4
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:16.359
in the afternoon.
5
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.359
Jesus guys, no wonder crooked media overpays everyone.
6
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:20.480
Okay, let's hit this.
7
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.960
Some days, your producers hand you the script and realize
8
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:28.600
it's not wacky enough, and you say to them, hey,
9
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:30.399
did any of you idiots google JD.
10
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:30.879
Vance.
11
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:33.880
After they stare at you for a minute, they give
12
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.560
you some better material. Grab your shopping carts and your calculators,
13
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:40.240
because jd Vance just took us on a wild ride
14
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:44.520
through the dairy aisle. Our esteemed vice presidential candidate decided
15
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.280
to show off his math skills at a Pennsylvania supermarket,
16
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.880
and let's just say he might want to stick to politics. Vance,
17
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.200
clearly auditioning for the role of confused dad at grocery store,
18
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.799
boldly declared that eggs now cost a whopping four dollars
19
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:01.920
a dozen, even though the sign was screaming two ninety
20
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.879
nine louder than a rooster at dawn. I guess when
21
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.560
you're a politician, reality is just a suggestion, right, but wait,
22
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:13.159
it gets better. Vance's own son, probably embarrassed enough to
23
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.959
consider emancipation, tried to save Dad from this egregious egg error,
24
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:22.120
but our hero pressed on, undeterred by trivial things like facts.
25
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.400
Vance then treated us to a touching story about his
26
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.879
son's consuming fourteen eggs every morning.
27
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:30.760
I don't know about you, but I'm picturing the.
28
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.000
Vance household as some sort of protein powered frat house.
29
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:36.319
Maybe that's where all his budget went.
30
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.239
Forget inflation, it's the incredible edible egg draining the Vance
31
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.760
bank account. Of course, Vance couldn't resist blaming it all
32
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:48.799
on Kamala Harris, because nothing says vice presidential material like
33
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.480
not knowing the price of everyday items and then blaming
34
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.920
your opponent for it. It's like a game of pin
35
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.400
the tail on the donkey, but the donkey is the
36
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:01.439
Democratic Party and the tale is well, you get the idea. Meanwhile,
37
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.640
social media had a field day. One user suggested Vance
38
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.919
remove price tags before lying on camera next time, solid advice. Really,
39
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.479
it's political screw ups one hundred and one. But let's
40
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:16.360
not forget Vance's other culinary capers. There was the donut
41
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.080
shop debacle, where he made a worker more uncomfortable than
42
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:20.800
a long tailed cat in a room full.
43
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:21.560
Of rocking chairs.
44
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.400
And who could forget his Philly cheese steak, faux pas,
45
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.599
Asking about Swiss cheese at Pat's King of Steaks is
46
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:29.680
like asking for ketchup on a Chicago hot dog.
47
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.800
It's just not done, folks. So what have we learned? Well?
48
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:36.560
Jd Vance might not be the best person to send
49
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.039
on your grocery runs, but hey, at least he's consistent,
50
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.000
consistently awkward around food. That is, maybe next time he
51
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:48.240
should stick to topics he knows well, Like, well, I'm
52
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:52.319
sure there's something right. It looks like the former president
53
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.560
is sidekick jd Vance have found themselves in a bit
54
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:57.639
of a pickle, And by pickle, I mean they're being
55
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.960
charged with more crimes than a season of law and orb,
56
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.280
not that jd Vance would know how much to charge
57
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.800
for a pickle. Remember how Trump and Vance thought it'd
58
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.000
be a great idea to spread some juicy rumors about
59
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:13.319
Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. You know the usual, they're
60
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.400
eating our pets, bigotry. Now, the Haitian Bridge Alliance is
61
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.159
fighting back using a little known Ohio law that lets
62
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.800
private citizens file charges. It's like a reverse UNO card,
63
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.280
but for legal shenanigans. The local prosecutor was too busy,
64
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.479
I don't know, probably hiding under his desk, so the
65
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.840
Alliance decided to take matters into their own hands. The charges, oh,
66
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:39.080
just a light sprinkling of disrupting public services, making false alarms,
67
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:44.919
telecommunications harassment, aggravated menacing, and complicity. You know your typical
68
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.520
Tuesday for Team Trump man. I hope Trump doesn't go
69
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.479
to trial and be found guilty of all sorts of
70
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.199
things and then escape scott free. So will Trump and
71
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.560
Vance face the music? Will Springfield's pets finally be safe?
72
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.599
Will anyone ever look at their chihuahua the same way?
73
00:03:59.639 --> 00:03:59.919
Again?
74
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.199
Stay tuned, folks, This is one story that's sure to
75
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.120
keep on giving, kind of like those political robo calls
76
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:14.360
we all love so much. The New York Post reports
77
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.000
some people in both the Trump and RFK junior camps
78
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:21.319
are secretly doing a happy dance. Why because they're hoping
79
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.600
this little indiscretion might be the final straw for Cheryl Hines,
80
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.480
apparently the most hated woman in conservative circles since Hillary
81
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.079
Clinton forgot to delete her emails. Poor Cheryl, She's stuck
82
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.560
between a rock and a maga hat. On one hand,
83
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.879
she's got her husband cozying up to Trump like he's
84
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.480
auditioning for the Apprentice White House edition. On the other,
85
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.199
she's got Trump's team treating her like she's the Yoko
86
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.879
Ono of the political world. And let's not forget Trump himself.
87
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.600
He's probably sitting in mar A Lago right now, scrolling
88
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:56.079
through truth, social thinking. Finally a scandal that's not about me. Meanwhile,
89
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.279
Cheryl's been spotted without her wedding ring in Milan no less,
90
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.759
because nothing says I'm done with this circus like ditching
91
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:04.839
your ring in the fashion capital of the world.
92
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.120
I feel bad for Cheryl. It's a lonely world out there,
93
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:09.399
you know, Cheryl.
94
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.120
If you need someone to talk to or maybe grab
95
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.439
a bite to eat with, I'm here for you. The
96
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:18.000
Kennedy family has apparently written Robert off. I guess even
97
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.079
America's royal family has its limits. Who knew it would
98
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.560
be sexting that finally made them say, you know what,
99
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.399
maybe we should have stuck with sailing and touch football.
100
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:31.040
So what's next in this political soap opera? Will Cheryl stay?
101
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:32.079
Will she go.
102
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.199
Will RFK Junior end up with a cabinet position or
103
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.079
a reality TV show? Will she date a younger guy
104
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.480
with his own podcast? And most importantly, will anyone ever
105
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.959
trust a political journalist with their nudes? Again? Stay tuned, folks,
106
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.000
this is one story that's sure to keep on giving.
107
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.079
Kind of like those embarrassing photos you thought you deleted
108
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:55.920
but somehow end up on the cloud. Politics, it's just
109
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.519
like high school, but with bigger budgets and better lawyers.
110
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.639
Joe Biden remember him? Don't worry, he doesn't either. It
111
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.040
looks like Grandpa Joe decided to take his final bow
112
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.519
at the United Nations, and boy did he make it.
113
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.279
A doozy our fearless leader who woke up mid debate
114
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.399
to discover that he's too old to run for office,
115
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.839
decided to impart some sage advice to his fellow world leaders.
116
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.519
Some things are more important than staying in power, like
117
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:26.160
going to bed before nine, he said, presumably while desperately trying.
118
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:27.920
To remember where he left his reading glasses.
119
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.639
Biden took us on a thrilling journey through his political career,
120
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:33.399
from his days as a bright.
121
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.079
Eyed twenty nine year old senator to his current role
122
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:37.360
as well.
123
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.639
Let's just say he's lived long enough to see himself
124
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:44.199
become the villain in some people's eyes. The President spent
125
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.399
a good chunk of time patting himself on the back
126
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.079
for his Ukraine strategy. Apparently he thinks he's single handedly
127
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.839
saved democracy from the big bad Russians. I guess nobody
128
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.199
told him about the ongoing war and humanitarian crisis. But
129
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.560
don't worry, folks, Biden's got at all under control. He's
130
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.079
throwing money at problems left and right. Five hundred million
131
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:09.160
dollars here, a million vaccines there. It's like watching Oprah,
132
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:11.879
but instead of cars, everyone gets a slice of the
133
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:13.360
American taxpayer pie.
134
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.399
And let's not forget the star studded guest list.
135
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:20.040
Biden also touched on the Middle East crisis, AI and
136
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.959
his long political career. It was like a Greatest Hits album,
137
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.680
but with more mumbling and confused pauses. Wait until Joe
138
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.360
finds out portions of today's podcast were made with the
139
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.720
help of AI, especially the part that made fun of him.
140
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.800
As he wrapped up his speech, Biden reminded us that
141
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:41.360
things can get better. Well, Joe, after listening to that address,
142
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.519
I sure, hope you're right. Let's hope the world doesn't
143
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.399
fall apart before January, or we might need to wheel
144
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:48.680
him back in for an encore.
145
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.279
He's still eligible for a second term, you know,
