00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:09.279
Calarogu Shark Media from New York City, where we really

2
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.519
don't need Trump to hold a rally. Seriously, don it's okay,

3
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:15.279
this is ballot. I'm sorry, did you say something? I

4
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:18.600
was reading Malania's new book. Well, I guess it's showtime,

5
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:23.359
so let's hit this before I goof on Trump for

6
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.480
ten minutes. Remember I told you that Kamala doing podcasts

7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.679
suggests they are panicking. Well, listen to old mac Davies.

8
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:31.879
I might just be a podcaster with a crush on

9
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.759
Cheryl Hines, but I know what I'm talking about. Just

10
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.159
a month ago, the Dems were riding high on Kamala

11
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.920
Harris's campaign, but now they're shakier than a Jenga tower

12
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.840
in an earthquake. As Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons put it,

13
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.159
everything is deadlocked and the composition of the electorate is unknowable,

14
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.079
and there are so many things that are unprecedented. If

15
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.359
you're not nervous, you're not paying attention. Talk about a

16
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.960
ringing endorsement of confidence. Huh. Harris is leading in some

17
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.359
national polls, but the battleground states are tighter than Tim

18
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.879
Wall's grip on his coffee mug. During budget meetings. Anthony Coley,

19
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.840
another Democratic strategist, admitted, now that the sugar high is gone,

20
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.359
people have realized what Kamala Harris has said from the start,

21
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:18.799
which is that she is the underdog. This is going

22
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.000
to be a fight. These numbers are just so stubborn.

23
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.000
Harris popped up on everything from sixty minutes to call

24
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.079
her daddy to some seventy year old shock jock with

25
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.120
suspiciously black hair. But some Dems are less than thrilled

26
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.760
with her performance. One strategist scriped, she is still fine

27
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.560
tuning her message twenty eight days out, and I'm sorry.

28
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:41.879
We are in the make the sale phase of the campaign.

29
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.439
Now we're not still tweaking the message ouch. On the

30
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.959
economic front, things are looking up for Harris. But is

31
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.840
it enough. As one major Democratic donor eloquently put it,

32
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.239
this election is shaping up to be a flip of

33
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.359
the coin. They added, I feel better than I did

34
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.319
last week, but it still doesn't feel great. I have

35
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.000
a pit in my stomach. Meanwhile, Trump's out there drawing

36
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.400
crowds like he's giving away free maga hats. Trump, the

37
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:12.879
man who thinks he's smarter than a fifth Grader just

38
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.560
tried to pull a fast one on Kamala Harris. Spoiler alert,

39
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.599
it backfired harder than his attempt at selling Trump steaks.

40
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:24.599
Picture this, Trump's sitting down with Ben Shapiro, probably reminiscing

41
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.400
about the good old days when they could spread misinformation

42
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.599
without those pesky fact checkers. And what does Trump do?

43
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.879
He brings up the twenty fifth Amendment, You know, that

44
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.919
thing his own cabinet considered using on him after January sixth.

45
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:41.639
Talk about opening old wounds. But here's where it gets good. Trump,

46
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.800
in all his infinite wisdom, suggests we need a double

47
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:48.840
twenty fifth Amendment to get rid of both Biden and Harris. Yeah,

48
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.439
because that's totally a thing. Next he'll be calling for

49
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:56.000
a triple dog Dare impeachment. When Shapiro mentions that Mike

50
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:59.159
Johnson would be next in line, Trump's face probably looked

51
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.039
more confused than when someone tried to explain wind turbines

52
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.639
to him. I mean, come on, the line of succession

53
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.280
is something most kids learn right after the wheels on

54
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.159
the bus go round and round. Trump's been playing international

55
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.840
leader bingo again, and this time he's landed on everyone's

56
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.800
favorite Chai sipping yoga loving PM Narendra Mody. According to

57
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.360
the Donald, Mody's not just your average politician. Oh no,

58
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.680
he's a killer in a sweater vest. Trump says, Mody

59
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.159
looks like your father on the outside, but on the

60
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.240
inside he's apparently Liam Neeson from taking. I guess that's

61
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.879
what passes for a compliment in Trump's world. But wait,

62
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:41.199
it gets better. Trump decides to flex his diplomatic muscles

63
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.879
by recounting how he offered to help when India was

64
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:48.479
being threatened. Because nothing says stable genius like casually offering

65
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:52.439
to intervene in international conflicts during a podcast interview. And

66
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:56.080
let's not forget the Howdy Mody event. Trump reminisced about

67
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.560
it like it was his senior prom. We filled up

68
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.159
the stadium, he gushed, Yeah, Donald, that's generally what happens

69
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.800
at stadium events. They tend to fill up. It's not

70
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.639
exactly the moon landing. For some reason, Trump posted a

71
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.280
throwback clip of Jimmy Kimmel to his truth social account

72
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.960
on Sunday. Trump wrote, remember this what a dope? His

73
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.079
wife and agent begged him not to do it, and

74
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.120
just before Best Picture Award, Yet he suffers from Trump

75
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:26.040
arrangement syndrome. No talent equals bad ratings. Kimmel replied, saying,

76
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.759
thank you former President Trump for again reminding America that

77
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.079
everyone laughed at you at the Oscars while the haters

78
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.040
say you should be focused on the important things. Know

79
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.040
that I appreciate you always, including me, and I look

80
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.600
forward to visiting you often in jail. During a campaign

81
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:47.279
speech last month, Trump called Kimmel this stupid guy. Kimmel replied,

82
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.480
isn't that sweet? He's confusing me with one of his

83
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.720
sons again. Do you think he's flirting with me? What

84
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.680
is this? When I die? I would like that to

85
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.920
be the clip they play at the Emmys in Memoria, Montage, Trump,

86
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.800
who doesn't seem to understand why the swing states are important,

87
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:08.639
is planning a rally in New York City. Don You're

88
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.480
not winning New York. The man who once claimed he

89
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.319
could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose voters

90
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.639
is now planning to test that theory at Madison Square Garden.

91
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.560
Our favorite orange hued hair defying ex president is set

92
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.279
to hold a rally at the world's most famous arena

93
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:29.040
on October twenty seventh. Because nothing says make America great again.

94
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.720
Quite like gridlocking Midtown Manhattan on a Friday night, am

95
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:36.240
I Right? Now? Trump's been teasing this MSG rally like

96
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.519
it's the next season of The Apprentice. He's been dropping

97
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.879
hints faster than he drops allies, telling anyone who listened

98
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.759
that New York has changed a lot in the last

99
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.600
two years. Yeah, Don, we've noticed the rats are wearing

100
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.920
Maga hats now. But here's the kicker. Trump thinks he

101
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.639
can win New York. That's like me thinking I can

102
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.560
win an arm wrestling match with the Hulk. But hey,

103
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.680
stranger things have happened, like you know, Trump becoming president

104
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.319
in the first place. The Donald's promising a big rally

105
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.839
honoring the police and firemen and everybody everybody. That's a

106
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.439
lot of people to honor. Don, Maybe start with honoring

107
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.560
your court dates first, so mark your calendar's New Yorkers.

108
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.800
October twenty seventh is shaping up to be the wildest

109
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:22.519
night at MSG since the Knicks last won a game.

110
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.639
And remember it's first come, first serve, So if you

111
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.519
want a front row seat to this political circus, better

112
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.439
start camping out now. Just watch out for the Maga

113
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:41.079
hat wearing rats they bite. Let's dive into the literary

114
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:46.680
masterpiece of the century, Milania Trump's memoir. It's like Eat, Pray,

115
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.279
Love meets the Art of the Deal, with a dash

116
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:52.120
of the Emperor's new clothes thrown in for good measure.

117
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:56.800
So our intrepid author compares Milania to Marie Antoinette, not

118
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.360
the actual historical figure who lost her head over some

119
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:03.040
bad pr but Kirsten Dunst's version. You know, the one

120
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.639
who was misunderstood because she liked shoes. I mean, who doesn't.

121
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.959
Shoes are great. They keep your feet from touching the ground,

122
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.439
which coincidentally is exactly how Malania seems to view the

123
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:18.160
rest of US peasants. Now we've got Yale grads hovering

124
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.360
over Malania's shoulder, making sure she hits all the right notes.

125
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:27.519
Unwavering dedication to making America great again. Check heartwarming story

126
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.680
about immigration, double check. It's like they're playing Maga bingo

127
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.560
with every chapter. But here's where it gets good. Milania's

128
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.519
descriptions of her family are so vague you'd think she

129
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.480
was writing about strangers she passed on the street. Donald Trump,

130
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.079
the man who's never met a microphone. He didn't like

131
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:49.560
is reduced to nice to meet you. Wow, what a charmer.

132
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.720
I bet that line had Malania week at the knees

133
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.079
or maybe just contemplating an escape route. And let's not

134
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.000
forget her sister Inez described as a guy light and

135
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:04.879
an inspiration to reach for the stars. I haven't heard

136
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.680
such heartfelt sentiment since I last read the inside of

137
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.480
a Hallmark card. So there you have it, folks. Malania

138
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.800
Trump's memoir proving that you can write an entire book

139
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.439
without actually saying anything at all. It's like a literary

140
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.839
magic trick. Now you see substance, now you don't. I

141
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:23.839
wonder if she used any AI like we did to

142
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:25.439
create portions of today's program
