New poll suggests Kamala Harris would defeat DonaldTrump!

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:09.519
Calaroga Shark media from Washington, DC, where, Oh my god, are

2
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.480
we really talking about Hillary again?
Really? This is valid? That's right,

3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.719
We've got some surprising poll numbers.
Tyler Perry's weighing in, and even

4
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:20.879
the late night guys showed up for
work. Let's hit this all right,

5
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.879
Folks gather around for the latest episode
of Who Wants to Be the Next Democratic

6
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:29.480
presidential candidate? Spoiler alert, The
lineup is more unpredictable than a cat on

7
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:33.719
a roomba. So the new poll's
in, and if Biden decides he's had

8
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.399
enough of the presidential rodeo, it
looks like we've got a real barnburner on

9
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:42.920
our hands. Gavin Newsom, California's
very own Kendall, is trailing Trump by

10
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.560
a smidge thirty seven percent to forty
percent, and Gretchen Whitmer, the governor

11
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.439
of Michigan, is barely ahead of
the why are we doing this again stage

12
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:56.159
at thirty six percent to Trump's forty
percent. Clearly, someone needs to remind

13
00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.560
these governors that America loves a good
comeback story, not just a DC haircut

14
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.760
and a solid pandemic response. Now, this survey of one thousand likely voters,

15
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.079
has a margin of error of plus
or minus three point one percent,

16
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.400
So basically, take all these numbers
with a grain of salt the size of

17
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:18.799
Trump's ego. Conducted via phone an
email from July second to July sixth,

18
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.640
This poll is hotter off the press
than Biden's last debate performance, which,

19
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.000
let's be honest, was a bigger
disaster than a Michael Bay movie marathon.

20
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:33.280
Anthony Williams, the Special Project's director
at Ben Dixon and Amandy, chimed in

21
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.000
with some deep political wisdom. He
said that voters want someone in the mold

22
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:42.280
of Clinton. No, not George
Clinton, although Parliament Funkadelic would definitely bring

23
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:48.079
the funk to the White House.
Williams argues that voters Crave's sophistication and experience

24
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.799
something to lull them into a false
sense of security amidst the global chaos,

25
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.480
because who doesn't want to sleep better
at night knowing our president can handle international

26
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:04.400
diplomacy and not another scandalous tweet.
In the hypothetical matchup of dream teams,

27
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.280
we didn't know we needed a ticket
with Harris and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro squeaks

28
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.800
by Trump forty two percent to forty
percent. Yet pair Harris with Whitmer and

29
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.919
it's a different story. They fall
behind Trump thirty nine percent to forty one

30
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:22.960
percent. Clearly Whitmer needs to work
on her debate singers, or perhaps invest

31
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.560
in a more charismatic running mate.
Now, Hillary Clinton, the woman who

32
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:31.560
just won't quit except she totally did
at seventy six, is still younger than

33
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:36.360
both Trump and Biden. She's vowed
not to run again, sticking to her

34
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.879
post debate support for Biden. Meanwhile, Shapiro, fifty one, fresh off

35
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:46.159
his Attorney General gig and now running
Pennsylvania, is already making waves. Newsome

36
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.039
and Whitmer, in their final terms, are out there fundraising and stumping for

37
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.960
Biden like their political futures depend on
it, because they do. Grab your

38
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.639
popcorn. Because the Republican National Convention
is about to kick off next week in

39
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.479
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the suspense
is higher than Hunter Biden's laptop repair bill.

40
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.000
With the event less than a week
away, the big question on everyone's

41
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.879
mind is who will former President Trump
pick as his running mate. Will it

42
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:15.840
be a political veteran, a fresh
face, or maybe even the MyPillow guy

43
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.840
In true Trump fashion, he's keeping
us all on the edge of our seats.

44
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.680
During an appearance on Fox News Hannity, he teased the possibility of announcing

45
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.599
his VP pick during the convention.
I'd love to do it during the convention,

46
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.000
he said, making us all wonder
if there's going to be a dramatic

47
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:36.719
rose ceremony on the convention stage.
However, Trump added that my people say

48
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.800
that's a little complicated. Oh you
mean, like the last four years,

49
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:44.039
or like explaining quantum physics to a
toddler. So we might get the big

50
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.240
reveal a little before the convention or
maybe even during, because let's face it,

51
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:53.479
nothing says keeping your options open like
deciding your running mate in the middle

52
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:58.240
of a major political event. Fox
News host Sean Hannity, ever, the

53
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.240
helpful sidekick, tossed out some names
that are rumored to be on Trump's shortlist,

54
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.479
Marco Rubio of Florida, jd Vance
of Ohio, Tim Scott of South

55
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:11.400
Carolina, and North Dakota Governor Doug
Burgham. Trump, in his classic style,

56
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.919
confirmed there in the mix, saying
the names that you mentioned, absolutely,

57
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.920
they're under consideration. Personally, I
am looking at the comedy aspect of

58
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:24.800
all this and rooting for Dakota Doug. I think the little Marco stuff has

59
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:29.079
played out. Trump didn't stop there, folks. He boasted about the great

60
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.319
bench in the Republican Party, which, considering the last few seasons, might

61
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.600
be more like a bench that could
use a few new cushions. I haven't

62
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.600
made a final decision, but I
have some ideas as to where we're going,

63
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.560
he emphasized, leaving us all wondering
if he'll pull a plot twist worthy

64
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:57.560
of a reality TV show finale.
Hey, it was nice of the late

65
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.759
night host to show up for work
ten days after Biden's disastrous debate. Stephen

66
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.360
Colbear said, I don't know what's
going on in Joe Biden's mind, something

67
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:10.160
I apparently have in common with Joe
Biden. Colebar also commented on Joe's new

68
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.879
schedule. So the state dinners are
all going to be early bird specials?

69
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.319
Also which eight pm, Sir,
East Coast, West Coast, Moscow.

70
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.720
The world does not stop at eight
pm? Is Kamala Harris going to have

71
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:25.560
to clock in as night president?
Well, Stephen, maybe Joe should take

72
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:30.399
ten days off around July fourth,
just saying. John Stewart also finally,

73
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.120
decided the election was important and came
back from the beach, and boy did

74
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:40.120
he have a field day. With
President Biden's recent blunders for a campaign based

75
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.040
on honesty and decency, the spin
about the debate appears to be blatant bullshit,

76
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.800
Stuart said, and the redemption tour
hasn't gone that much better. He

77
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:53.800
then played clips of Biden's team scrambling
to cover for the president's shaky debate performance

78
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:58.240
like a kid who forgot their homework
and blamed the dog. Remember that debunked

79
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:02.639
jetlag excuse from a trip taken two
weeks prior. Classic Stuart wasn't buying it.

80
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.079
We're told that the threat of Trump
is so great and the stakes are

81
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:12.160
so high that even bringing up these
absolutely legitimate concerns about the President's ability to

82
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.120
do the most vigorous job in the
world for the next four years is enabling

83
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:20.920
fascism, he said. Yet even
the President doesn't seem particularly alarmed. Q

84
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:27.079
the clip of ABC's George Stephanopoulos asking
Biden how he'll feel if he loses to

85
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:31.040
Trump in November. Biden's response,
as long as I gave it my alland

86
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.279
did as good of a job as
I know I can do. That's what

87
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:38.920
this is about. That's not what
this is about. Stuart roared. There

88
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:44.199
are no participation trophies in endgame democracy. Stuart pointed out that some Biden supporters

89
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.759
say everyone will rally behind him because
millions voted for him in the primary,

90
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:51.439
but as Stuart noted, that was
before the debate exposed Biden's health concerns.

91
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:57.800
More starkly, authoritarianism and Donald Trump
aren't the only threats our democracy faces,

92
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.199
he said, and arthritic status quo
oh, unable or unwilling to respond to

93
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:06.000
voter concerns also erodes confidence and faith
in the system of government. Honestly,

94
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:11.480
get on board or shut up is
not a particularly compelling pro democracy bumper sticker.

95
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.759
Jimmy Fallon provided his usual sharp commentary, saying that the Democrats plan to

96
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.639
remove Biden from the race will eventually
become to tie a bunch of balloons to

97
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.800
the White House and hope he floats
away like that old guy from Up.

98
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:29.920
Oh. Pretty edgy commentary there,
jim take it easy. Even Tyler Perry

99
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.360
wide in when asked by the Hollywood
Reporter if he's backing Biden. In twenty

100
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:39.240
twenty four, Perry dodged like a
pro What's important to me is that America

101
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:43.240
remains a democracy free from anyone trying
to be a dictator or king. So

102
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:47.319
I'm supporting anyone who stands against that. Translation, I'll back anyone who's not

103
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:51.480
plotting to overthrow the government, not
that there are any candidates who would want

104
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:56.399
to overthrow the government. On a
cold day in January, classic Hollywood.

105
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:01.319
Perry, who supported Biden Harris in
twenty twenty, is playing it safe this

106
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.040
time around, just as other Hollywood
big shots like Reed Hastings and Abigail Disney

107
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.959
are urging Biden to sit this one
out. Rob Reiner even did a flip

108
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.519
flop on Twitter about it, but
Perry's sticking to the Democrat's script that Trump

109
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.279
wants to be a dictator. At
the premiere, Perry shifted gears to discuss

110
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:24.000
his film's deeper meaning. Letting things
go and not trying to hold onto loving

111
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.360
someone into a place they can't go
to is so important. Well, another

112
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.240
day went by, and I still
don't have room in the show to tell

113
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.399
you about the candidate who may or
may not have eaten a dog. Portions
