In the latest episode of "Ballot," the courtroom drama unfolds as Stormy Daniels takes the stand once again, sending shockwaves through the political arena with her saucy testimony. Meanwhile, Trump's legal team tries unsuccessfully to discredit her, leading to some hilariously shady remarks from late-night hosts.As Stormy throws down the gauntlet, questioning Trump's courage to take the stand himself, the podcast dives into the legal and PR circus surrounding the former president's hush money scandal. With Trump caught napping in court yet again, the hosts can't help but poke fun at his seemingly endless legal woes.But it's not all about Trump; the episode also delves into Nikki Haley's surprising performance in the Indiana primary and the bizarre revelation about RFK Jr's brain. And of course, there's no shortage of jokes about Kristi Noem's infamous puppy incident.
1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.080
Calaroga Shark media from New York City, where real men are sworn in and
2
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:15.160
testified. This is ballad today.
Stormy's back on the stand, Trump's falling
3
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.800
asleep, and Christy Nome jokes are
still the rage. Let's hit this.
4
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.320
Stephen Colbert joked, but this was
not her first rodeo, and they would
5
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:29.800
have known that if they'd seen her
movie, My third rodeo, Jimmy Kimmel
6
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:33.359
said. Trump's lawyers spent much of
the day trying to paint Daniels as a
7
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:38.159
sleazy money grubbing liar, which if
that is true, you can see why
8
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.960
they hit it off. Fallon tagged
it with. Trump's attorneys finished their cross
9
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.799
examination of Stormy Daniels and they accused
her of lying and hawking merchandise for personal
10
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.320
gain, and Trump was like,
this also feels like a shot at me
11
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:56.600
too. Ooh, things just got
spicy in the Stormy Daniels versus Trump saga,
12
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.280
the adult film star took a brutal
shot at the former president after her
13
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.920
saucy testimony this week, trolling him
in spectacular fashion on social media. Real
14
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.480
men respond to testimony by being sworn
in and taking the stand in court.
15
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:15.920
Daniels taunted in her ex post,
oh wait, never mind, damn,
16
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:21.480
throwing down the gauntlet by questioning Trump's
manhood and essentially calling him too cowardly to
17
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:26.680
take the witness stand himself. The
zinger came after Team Trump spent days complaining
18
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:32.200
bitterly about Daniel's riskue courtroom revelations regarding
their alleged two thousand and six liaison.
19
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:37.439
His lawyers tried and failed to get
a mistrial declared based on her salacious testimony
20
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:42.840
being too prejudicial. They also pushed
unsuccessfully to get the gag order amended so
21
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.280
Trump could personally clap back at Daniel's
claims without risk of being held in contempt,
22
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.959
you know, because the former president
is just so renowned for his calm,
23
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:57.680
measured rebuttals. Instead, it was
Daniels gleefully twisting the knife, overtly
24
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.200
baiting Trump to quit hiding behind his
legal teams skirts and finally confront her under
25
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:07.640
oath mano amano, calling his bluff
in the most deliciously shady way possible.
26
00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:12.240
And let's be real, we all
know Trump's chances of actually taking the stand
27
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.639
are roughly equivalent to him admitting the
hush money payoffs where a scumbag move that
28
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:21.039
is zero. The man is terrified
of any scenario where he's not fully in
29
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.960
control of the narrative. We're talking
about a guy who couldn't even bring himself
30
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:29.400
to testify at his own impeachment trials, So the likelihood of him subjecting himself
31
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.479
to Daniels' legal team for a rigorous
cross on the most tawdry, embarrassing chapter
32
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.319
of his personal history laughable at best. That said, you've got to admire
33
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:43.560
Stormy's sheer audacity in taunting the former
president so brazenly proving once again she's not
34
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.240
going to be cowed or shamed into
silence. Despite Team Trump's best and predictably
35
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:53.719
misogynistic attempts in the battle of the
tell all memoir versus long standing non disclosure
36
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.919
agreements, It's looking more and more
like Daniels is the one boasting the stamina
37
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.039
to go the full distance, truly
illegal in pr circus for the ages,
38
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.919
Nicky Haley, who dropped out of
the race, still did around twenty percent
39
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:13.759
in the Indiana primary. Stephen Colebear
joked, Wow, that's got a sting
40
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.439
for Trump. That's like a boss
telling you sorry, we're passing you over
41
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:20.599
for the promotion and giving it to
Mark. May he rest in peace,
42
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.800
Jimmy Kimmel added, Nicki Haley disappeared
at the beginning of March, and she
43
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:29.400
still took home over twenty percent of
the vote, which means that either a
44
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.560
large chunk of Indiana voters are not
planning to vote for Trump or Mike Pence
45
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:38.199
voted one hundred twenty eight thousand times. Meanwhile, apparently RFK Junior has a
46
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.919
dead worm in his brain. Seth
Meyer said, this explains everything and nothing.
47
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.680
Jimmy Fallon joked, you know what's
really suspicious though, before it died,
48
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:53.400
that worm was vaccinated. Jordan Klepper
with a simple schoolyard joke. Cause
49
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.159
of death starvation and with Trump facing
jail time if he violates the gag order,
50
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:00.919
seth Meyer said, please, you
think Trump is scared of jail.
51
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.560
That place is full of mobsters and
white supremacists. He'll walk into jail like
52
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.879
Norm walks into cheers. Jordan Klepper
was still joking about Christy. Noam,
53
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.719
I'm not a political expert, but
if I had to give a politician advice,
54
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.040
I would say the top thing is
not to shoot your puppy. The
55
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.800
second top thing would be to not
write about shooting your puppy. And Jimmy
56
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.600
Kimmel adds, I really love that
she thinks she still has a shot.
57
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.279
I mean she had a shot.
She used it on her dog. Jordan
58
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.000
Klepper feels bad for the goat.
What did the goat do? It sounds
59
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.120
like she saw it and was like, well, I can't leave any witnesses.
60
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:40.800
Trump had fallen asleep in court again. Seth Meyer said, can you
61
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.800
imagine going back in time and telling
yourself ten years ago that an ex president
62
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.199
who staged a coup to stay in
power would fall asleep multiple times and at
63
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:53.439
one point reportedly even pass gas during
his criminal trial. Not for waging the
64
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.279
coup, which is a different trial
that we might not even get to,
65
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.160
but for paying hush money to a
porn star to stop her from telling the
66
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.160
world about his weirdly shaped penis.
And it wouldn't be the biggest headline in
67
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:08.879
the newspaper every single day. You'd
be like, no way, I'm gonna
68
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.879
tell everyone about this. On my
favorite well functioning website, Twitter, Seth
69
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.360
Myers talked about Trump, saying he'd
only accept the results of the twenty twenty
70
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:20.240
four election. If it's honest and
joked, dude, if everything was honest,
71
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.600
the only results you'd have to accept
would be the results of the Prison
72
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.160
Talent Show. Parts of today's show
were made with the help of AI.
73
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.120
I'll be back tomorrow with a Saturday
episode with a bunch of RFK stuff.
