00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:09.919
Calarogu Shark Media from Washington, DC, where Rob Schneider and Jim Brewer passed
2
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:14.759
for celebrities this ballot. Today,
Stormy Daniel's husband threatens to leave the country.
3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.359
Comedians stick up for Trump and while
these opens are supposed to have a
4
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.760
rule of three rhythm, so someone
think of a third thing fast. Let's
5
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:32.719
hit this, oh man. I
hope Stormy Daniels doesn't leave the country.
6
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.039
In an interview with CNN last week, Barrett Blade dropped the shocking revelation that
7
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.759
if the former president is acquitted in
his hush money case, there's a good
8
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:46.159
chance he and Daniels will straight up
leave the United States. The stakes are
9
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.960
apparently so high for the Daniels family
that an acquittal could potentially drive them into
10
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.799
self imposed exile. Blade painted a
pretty grim picture no matter the verdict,
11
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.399
saying I don't see it as a
win situation either way for his wife.
12
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.959
Even if Trump is convicted, Blade
fears the former president's supporters will continue to
13
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:08.840
viciously target Daniels with hate and vitriol, as they've done throughout this year's long
14
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:14.000
legal saga. A lose lose of
harassment for the woman at the center of
15
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:19.640
it all. Blade described Daniels as
a warrior who has been prepared to weather
16
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.920
the onslaught, but acknowledge the toll
of having to keep saying the same thing
17
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.079
over and over to the point where
it wears honor. You'd think the media
18
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:33.000
would be a little more sympathetic to
someone literally recounting salacious details of an alleged
19
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.480
affair, but I guess that's too
much to ask. What's most striking about
20
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:42.519
Blade's comments, though, is the
sense of exasperation and desperation underlying them,
21
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.400
the clear implication that they may have
to abandon their home country and lives because
22
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.920
one side or the other simply won't
accept the legal outcome. It's a damning
23
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:56.959
indictment of just how polarized and tribal
American politics has become in the age of
24
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.079
Trump, when a presidential scandal devolves
to the point where its key figures feel
25
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:07.039
unsafe even after the legal process plays
out. Of course, Blade also pushed
26
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:13.039
back on the defense's claims that Daniels
fabricated her story, echoing her own assertions
27
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.159
that if it were untrue, she
would have added plenty more juicy details as
28
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:23.280
a brilliant writer. It's no secret
that Hollywood's liberal elite will be stumping hard
29
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.840
for Biden's re election bid. But
there's a ragtag crew of comedic iconoclasts charting
30
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.759
their own unpredictable course through the madness. From Rob Schneider to Jim Brewer,
31
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.240
these are the outspoken rebels, questioning
the pandemic overreach, championing free speech,
32
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:45.159
and seemingly appalled by both parties.
Shenanigans Website, Hollywood and Toto took a
33
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:50.879
look into the strange Bedfellow's coalition of
comedians fitting the ultimate anti establishment candidate,
34
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:57.960
Robert F. Kennedy junior Corolla.
Binder and Schneider hosted an LA fundraiser to
35
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:02.280
get the RFK junior campaign role,
while Russell Brand and Dave Landau are also
36
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.360
lending their talents to the contrarian's corner
in upcoming Nashville shows. It's a veritable
37
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.199
who's who of common sense stand ups, sick of the partisan hackery, and
38
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.759
willing to roll the dice on a
spoiler candidate who might just peel away enough
39
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.759
centrist voters to derail the whole two
party train wreck. Hey, when your
40
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.800
options are Grandpa wandering and Florida Man's
revenge tour. You can understand the desire
41
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.120
to shake things up. Now.
Maybe Rob Schneider at a Trump event is
42
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.879
lame, and Jim Brewer with RFK
is weird. But which one of us
43
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:44.000
is going to tell Joe Biden why
Laurel and Hardy can't make it? The
44
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.199
Trump campaign is rolling out the red
carpet for their big money donors ahead of
45
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:53.840
the Republican National Convention. According to
leaked documents, the Trump forty seven fundraising
46
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.080
committee has a whole buffet of lavish
perks and rewards lined up for those who
47
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:02.680
pony up the big bucks. We're
talking VIP tickets to exclusive events, behind
48
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:08.080
the scenes tours of the convention venue
itself, and even a private reception at
49
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:13.960
the iconic Harley Davidson Museum for donors
clearing that modest fifty thousand dollars contribution threshold,
50
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.519
because what screams personal touch more than
mixing and mingling at a corporate museum.
51
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:23.319
But the real high rollers are where
this donor pampering gets absolutely galling.
52
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.040
For those elite benefactors raising a cool
two point five million dollars or personally chipping
53
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.879
in upwards of eight hundred and forty
four th six hundred dollars. They'll be
54
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:38.360
treated to premium seating inside the convention
hall itself, you know, strategically positioned
55
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:42.360
so their wealth and fealty to Trump
is on full display. It's the ultimate
56
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:47.079
billionaire's backstage pass, and insiders look
at the championship grifter's crowning moment as he's
57
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:53.000
officially anointed the GOP's twenty twenty four
nominee, all for the small price of
58
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.120
bank rolling half of his legal defense
slush fund. Now, to be fair,
59
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.399
both parties have long trotted out these
kinds of delay donor enticements for their
60
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.519
marquee events, pay to play politics
and all that good stuff. But there's
61
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:11.279
still something distinctly on brand about Trump
dangling prime convention access like hospitality suite VIP
62
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.639
tickets for his biggest moneybackers. I
mean, of course, guys like former
63
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.839
Senator Kelly Loeffler, New York Jets
owner Woody Johnson, and other usual Trump
64
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:24.720
megadnor suspects are lining up for their
capsule wardrobes and premium photo ops. When
65
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.600
you're spending upwards of dollar eight hundred
k to keep trump Ism alive, you'd
66
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:34.480
better get those deluxe hospitality benefits.

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.039
In an interview with CNN last week, Barrett Blade dropped the shocking revelation that
7
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.759
if the former president is acquitted in
his hush money case, there's a good

00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:46.159
chance he and Daniels will straight up

9

one side or the other simply won't

00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:56.959
indictment of just how polarized and tribal
American politics has become in the age of

Trump, when a presidential scandal devolves
