Trump Assassination Attempt: The Situation reacts to the situation

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:09.679
Calarogu Shark Media from the third rest
stop on iaighty, Western Ohio, where,

2
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:12.439
thank goodness they have good WiFi so
we can put an episode out.

3
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.599
This is ballid. Okay, look, let's be real. This is a

4
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:21.640
serious topic, so no snarky joke
at the top. Let's hit this the

5
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:26.640
Asbury Park Press headline and I am
not making this up. Jersey Shore stars

6
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:32.280
react to Donald Trump assassination attempt.
Now we've got the situation. Mike Sorrentino

7
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.039
tweeting, praying for our country faster
than you can say GTL. That's Jim

8
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.600
Tan laundry. For those of you
who aren't fluent in Jersey Shore ease,

9
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:46.359
I guess when the situation gets serious. Even the situation gets serious. So

10
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.280
as we wait for more details on
this developing story, let's all take a

11
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:54.880
moment to ponder what would Snooky do
in this situation. They weren't the only

12
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:59.920
celebrities to weigh in. Fifty Cent
tweeted, I know the vibes Trump gets

13
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.400
and now I'm trending. Nicki Minaj
posted WTF in the middle of the night.

14
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.760
MMA fighter Connor McGregor tweeted a seventy
eight year old multiple billionaire. He

15
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.280
should be on a yacht on the
med touring golf courses, but he is

16
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:17.400
not. He is in Pennsylvania,
spitting out bullets, running for the love

17
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.799
of his country. God speed Donald, God bless the United States. He

18
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.920
added prayer and heart emojis. The
guy I felt bad for was Anderson Cooper.

19
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:32.159
There's Anderson probably enjoying his Hampton's house
when his batphone rings and the commissioner

20
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.159
of CNN is telling him he has
to work on a Saturday night in July.

21
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.959
One two hour drive later, there's
Anderson working the weekend. I feel

22
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.120
you, Coop. I also felt
bad for the anchor who was doing a

23
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.400
good job on CNN the first half
hour after the news broke, as they

24
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.879
kicked her out of the chair as
soon as wolf Blitzer made it in.

25
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.959
President Biden also cut his beach vacation
short. How does it feel, Joe,

26
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.680
It's kind of annoying when news breaks
and you have to leave the beach

27
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.079
and work all weekend. The shoe
is on the other foot now. Biden

28
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:06.040
called the incident sick and said there's
no place for this kind of violence in

29
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.680
America, which, let's be honest, is probably the first time in years

30
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.400
that both sides of the isle have
nodded in agreement without pulling a muscle.

31
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.400
The White House is working faster than
a contestant on The Apprentice to pull down

32
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.199
campaign ads. Meanwhile, RFK Junior, the man who's running for president on

33
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:28.639
a platform of well, we're not
quite sure what, but it probably involves

34
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.000
a lot of vitamin C and distrust
of vaccines, reached out to Trump faster

35
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:38.039
than you can say conspiracy theory.
He called Trump's behavior inspirational. I'm not

36
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:44.599
sure what's more surprising that RFK Junior
found Trump inspirational or that he used a

37
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:49.240
word with more than two syllables.
Kennedy then suggested that Biden and Trump should

38
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.520
share a podium to reassure the nation, because nothing says everything's fine like putting

39
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.800
two septagenarians who hate each other on
stage together. Right. Meanwhile, Kennedy's

40
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.520
still waiting for his Secret Service protection, which, given the news cycle and

41
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.639
say a quick google of the last
name Kennedy, is probably a good idea.

42
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.120
Today, Trump loyalists are rushing to
post pictures faster than you can say

43
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.560
retweet, because nothing says I care
like farming for likes. During a national

44
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:21.080
crisis. JD Vance, meanwhile,
is playing the World's Smallest violin, claiming

45
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.000
this is what happens when America goes
Third World. Man, if only someone

46
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.520
had some sort of legislative power to
do something about assault rifles. But let's

47
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:34.479
not forget the real winner here,
symbolism. Trump's bloodied face and raised fist

48
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.599
are set to become the new Maga
hat. The GOP convention planners must be

49
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.360
doing cartwheels there. Make America safe
again theme just got a whole lot more

50
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.840
visceral. And poor Biden. He
was already struggling to look energetic, and

51
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:52.759
now Trump's got the ultimate I'm still
standing moment. It's like comparing a sloth

52
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.800
to Rambo. Okay, look,
we had a regular episode ready for today,

53
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.199
and I have to get back on
the bus if we're going to make

54
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.879
it to Milwaukee in time for the
convention. So let's take the break and

55
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.759
when we come back it's the regular
stuff I was going to make fun of

56
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:11.400
today. We'll be coming to you
live from Milwaukee all week with a modified

57
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.960
schedule as it's obviously going to be
a huge week. If you're a new

58
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:25.480
listener, be sure to hit follow
ah, the wonderful world of political interviews,

59
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.439
where unscripted means edited in post Milwaukee's
Civic Media just dropped a doozy of

60
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.879
an apology after admitting they trimmed parts
of a Joe Biden interview at the campaign's

61
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:40.319
request. It's like cutting out the
best parts of a reality show and leaving

62
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.959
only the commercial breaks. So here's
the deal. The interview was supposed to

63
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.959
be this straightforward Q and A with
President Biden, hosted by Earl Ingram,

64
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:53.600
aired on July fourth, perfect for
the holiday, right, except someone hit

65
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:58.000
the delete button on a couple of
Biden's responses. The station, channeling its

66
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:03.240
inner Oliver Twist, claimed the cut
were non substantive. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

67
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:08.480
spilled the beans, and when The
Daily Beast called Ingram for comment, he

68
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.399
pulled a classic ghost move. Now
let's talk about what got the acts.

69
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:18.639
First, Biden's grand claim about his
administration having more blacks in major positions cabinet

70
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:25.959
positions than all previous presidents combined a
nice sentiment, sure, but maybe someone

71
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.519
in the editing room thought it sounded
too much like a humble brag. Then

72
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.720
there was Biden's attempt to discuss Trump's
infamous call for the death penalty for the

73
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:38.279
Central Park five, which turned into
a rambling mess that even the most patient

74
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:43.240
listeners would struggle to follow. Snip
snip, and those parts were gone.

75
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:48.120
Civic Media issued an apology, saying
the edits didn't live up to their journalistic

76
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:53.439
interview standards. You know it's serious
when a radio station starts sounding like a

77
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:58.839
disappointed school principal. They stood by
Ingram and his team, calling them invaluable

78
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.439
and promising to do better next time. Basically, it's the media version of

79
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:09.240
we're not mad, just disappointed.
Ingram meanwhile confess that he accepted questions from

80
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.959
the Biden campaign and didn't get to
ask everything on his list. It's like

81
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.439
getting the cheat sheet for an exam
and still failing. This comes on the

82
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:20.600
heels of another Biden campaign snafu,
where WU Word host Andrea Laffelsanders got the

83
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:27.319
pre approved questions treatment, which cost
her the gig ouch. A Biden campaign

84
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:31.279
spokesperson, probably with a straight face, told The Daily Beast that hosts have

85
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.120
always been free to ask the questions
and air the segments they think will best

86
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:40.480
inform their listeners. Sure, as
long as those segments don't include anything too,

87
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:46.279
you know. Real Apparently, Donald
Trump Junior is scheduled to speak right

88
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.920
before his father's VP pick at the
convention. Now, I know what you're

89
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:54.680
thinking. Isn't Trump Junior always right
before his father's VP pick, like at

90
00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:00.639
the dinner table. But no,
this is official convention business rumor mill is

91
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.639
churning faster than Trump's spraytan machine,
and all signs point to JD. Vance

92
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:09.879
as the front runner for VP.
That's right, folks, the author of

93
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:15.120
Hillbilly Elegy might become one step away
from writing White House Elegy. Now.

94
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.519
Trump's been playing coy about his VP
choice, probably because he enjoys suspense almost

95
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:24.680
as much as he enjoys seeing his
name on buildings. But Don Junior has

96
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.639
been hyping up Vance like he's the
next Trump University. He even shared a

97
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:33.079
clip of Vance speaking, calling it
America First. I guess America second was

98
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.800
already taken by the rest of the
world's opinion of us. The real kicker.

99
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.639
Vance and Don Junior are apparently close
friends. I can just imagine they're

100
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.879
bromance now, long walks on the
golf course, late night tweets, and

101
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.839
heated debates over who has the better
hair. But let's not forget the other

102
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:56.480
contenders, Doug Burgham and Marco Rubio. Burgham's probably wondering if anyone remembers he

103
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.519
was running, while Rubio's still trying
to live down that water bottle incident from

104
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.040
twenty thirteen. Tune in next time
to Who Wants to Be a Vice President?

105
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.160
Same Trump Time, same Trump Channel. We'll have expert coverage of the

106
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.920
Republican Convention all this week. Well
by experts, I mean me and the

107
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.199
AI that helps me write jokes
