1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.119
Calarogu Shark Media from Washington, DC, where the only October

2
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:12.880
surprise would be if somebody didn't accuse Trump of something.

3
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:14.560
This is ballot, oh man.

4
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.600
I hope a whole bunch of things about Trump don't

5
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.800
come out and then everyone ignores them and nothing changes.

6
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.920
Let's hit this, folks.

7
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:25.320
It looks like we've got a new episode of Law

8
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:29.120
and Disorder Special Victims Unit, starring none other than Donald Trump.

9
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.880
Special counsel Jack Smith filed new details in the federal

10
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.920
election subversion case against Donald Trump. The filing alleges Trump

11
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.520
disregarded Mike Pence's safety during the Capitol riot, planned to

12
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.920
prematurely declare victory on election night, and that his campaign

13
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.880
encouraged unrest in Michigan. Trump's lawyers dismissed the filing as a.

14
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:48.640
False hit piece.

15
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.560
Our favorite spray Tan defendant is back in the hot seat,

16
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.679
and this time Jack Smith is turning up the heat

17
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.759
faster than Trump's temper. At a fact checking convention, we've

18
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.759
got Trump channeling his inner Marie Antoinette during the Capitol riot.

19
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.280
When told Pence was being evacuated, Trump reportedly said, so

20
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:12.319
what I guess. In Trump's world, MAGA stands for Mike

21
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:13.359
Ain't getting attention.

22
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:15.840
But wait, there's more.

23
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.159
Apparently Trump had plans to declare himself the winner on

24
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.560
election night faster than you can say kamabla. It's like

25
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.079
he was playing a game of political monopoly and decided

26
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.280
to skip right to go directly.

27
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:27.560
To White House.

28
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.560
Do not pass vote count, do not collect two hundred

29
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:31.959
and seventy electoral votes.

30
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.280
And let's not forget the supporting cast.

31
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.599
We've got campaign employees in Michigan responding to warnings of

32
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:43.319
unrest with make them riot, because nothing says democracy like

33
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:44.959
a good old fashioned angry mob.

34
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:45.480
Right.

35
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.719
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is probably sitting back with a bucket

36
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.959
of popcorn, wondering if she should send Jack Smith a thank.

37
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:54.239
You note or a fruit basket.

38
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.239
Apparently Trump is obsessed with rfk's sexting scandal. Maybe he's

39
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.439
jealous he doesn't have a sexting scandal of his own,

40
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.120
because when you're facing ninety one criminal charges, what else

41
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.879
is there to do but dive into someone else's dirty laundry.

42
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.120
Trump reportedly called up Kennedy himself to get the scoop.

43
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.759
I guess when you can't trust the fake news, you

44
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.439
go straight to the source. Kennedy denied everything faster than

45
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.039
Trump denies knowing people in photographs with him. Our ex

46
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.919
commander in chief was so worked up he almost took

47
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:29.439
the truth social to express his condolences to Ryan Liza

48
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:34.479
Newsy's ex fiance, because nothing says presidential like publicly gloating

49
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.879
over someone else's relationship drama. Meanwhile, New York Magazine has

50
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.719
put Newsy on leave faster than you can say conflict

51
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.479
of interest. I guess they draw the line at reporters

52
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.439
getting too personal with their subjects.

53
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:47.439
Who knew.

54
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.639
And now RFK is facing new allegations of affairs with

55
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.879
three more women. Apparently RFK has been busy love bombing

56
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.039
women in the health freedom movement. I guess when you're

57
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.400
fighting against vaccines, need all the love you can get.

58
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:03.280
And here's the kicker.

59
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.639
Trump's team is worried that Kennedy's affairs might turn off

60
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.360
suburban women voters. That's right, folks, the man who bragged

61
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.520
about grabbing women by their private parts is now concerned

62
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.960
about someone else's morals. It's like the pot calling the

63
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.759
kettle black, except the pot is orange and the kettle

64
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.919
is well a Kennedy, and let's not forget Cheryl Hines,

65
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.840
Kennedy's wife, who's ducking questions about the scandal like she's

66
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.280
dodging Larry David's social faux pas on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

67
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.080
In the end, we're left with a seventy year old

68
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.199
man allegedly sexting a thirty one year old reporter, a

69
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.560
former president more interested in gossip than his own legal troubles,

70
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.400
and a whole lot of people suddenly very interested in

71
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:44.879
journalistic integrity.

72
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:47.840
Just another day in American politics. Folks.

73
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.159
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go bleach

74
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:55.520
my brain. Cheryl Hines is reportedly considering divorcing Robert F.

75
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.000
Kennedy Junior, not because of his digital affair with reporter

76
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.319
Olivia Nutzi, but due to his flirtation with Donald Trump

77
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.560
an endorsement of the Republican for president. It looks like

78
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.000
we've got ourselves a real life episode of Curb Your

79
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.520
Enthusiasm meets House of Cards with a dash of The

80
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.000
Bachelor thrown in for good measure. Cheryl Hines, it seems

81
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.279
signed up for a Kennedy, but is getting a Trump

82
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:18.040
by association.

83
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:20.360
Talk about a political bait and switch.

84
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.720
She was probably expecting Camelot, but instead she's getting Mara

85
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:25.160
a Lago.

86
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:27.959
It's like RFK Junior looked at the.

87
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.240
Kennedy Family Playbook and thought, hmm, how can I make

88
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:32.399
this even more scandalous.

89
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:34.720
I know, I'll throw in some maga hats.

90
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.480
Poor Cheryl must be feeling like she's stuck in a

91
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.720
bad political rom com. She probably thought she was getting

92
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.399
JFK Junior two point zero, but instead she's ended up

93
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.480
with Donald Trump Junior's new bestie. And if RFK Junior

94
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.399
does end up in Trump's cabinet, Cheryl might find herself

95
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.040
persona non grata in DC faster than you can say

96
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.720
you're fired. Looks like she might have to trade in

97
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.199
her Hollywood Walk of Fame star for a maga hat.

98
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.199
Talk about of fashion downgrade.

99
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.120
She probably should just get it over with, file for

100
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:09.000
divorce and start dating a younger guy with his own podcast.

101
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.199
Meanwhile, Milania Trump, our former.

102
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.600
First Lady of Mystery, has suddenly decided to break her

103
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.000
silence on abortion rights, and boy did she pick a

104
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.720
doozy of a time to do it, just when Donald

105
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.680
was trying to figure out which way the political wind

106
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.879
was blowing on abortion, Milania comes out swinging for team

107
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:28.360
My body, My Choice.

108
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:29.360
Now.

109
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.519
I don't know about you, but I'm starting to think

110
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.800
that Trumps have a unique interpretation of family values. Donald's

111
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.399
busy trying to make abortion as rare as a factual

112
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.480
statement from his mouth, while Malania is over here channeling

113
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.199
her inner Gloria Steinhem. And let's not forget this is

114
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.639
the same woman who wore a jacket saying I really

115
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:53.279
don't care, do you, while visiting migrant children. Well, apparently

116
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:54.920
she does care about something after all.

117
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.839
Who knew. But here's the real kicker, folks.

118
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.079
Donald Trump, the man who takes credit for everything from

119
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.480
the invention of the wheel to the discovery of fire,

120
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.560
is now in a pickle. He can't exactly brag about

121
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.160
appointing the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade

122
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.560
when his own wife is waiving the pro choice flag.

123
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:17.399
Talk about a homegrown insurrection. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is probably

124
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:21.399
doing cartwheels in the Oval office. She's thinking forget about

125
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.879
attacking Donald. I'll just let Malania do it for me.

126
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.480
It's like having a secret weapon, except this one comes

127
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.920
with a Slovenian accent and a pension for plagiarizing speeches.

128
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.240
It looks like the ghost of baseball past is haunting

129
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.639
us once again, and who better to summon it than

130
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:42.000
our very own tweeter in chief, Donald Trump. Trump, in

131
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.920
his infinite wisdom, has decided that Pete Rose's passing is

132
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.800
the perfect time to play umpire in the endless game

133
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:50.600
of should he or shouldn't he be in the Hall

134
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.600
of Fame? Because nothing says respecting the dead like using

135
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.639
their funeral as a political football right now.

136
00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.680
Don't get me wrong, Pete.

137
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:03.600
Rose was to baseball what Trump is too well, Twitter,

138
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.720
a force to be reckoned with, controversial as all get out,

139
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.639
and banned from his favorite playground. But while Rose bet

140
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.560
on baseball, Trump's betting on this hot take to hit

141
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:15.759
a home run with his base.

142
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:18.839
Trump declares that Rose has paid the price.

143
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.399
I'm not sure if he means the price of gambling

144
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.720
or the price of those hideous nineteen seventies haircuts, but

145
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.120
either way it's steep. Then again, Trump probably thinks Pete's

146
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.120
hair looked pretty sharp. And let's not forget the timing

147
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.600
of this grand pronouncement. Donnie Hussele dropped this bombshell during

148
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:40.680
the vice presidential debate, because why focus on trivial matters

149
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.120
like the future of our country when we can debate

150
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.040
about a dead guy's plaque in Cooperstown. Rose made his

151
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.240
money hitting singles. Trump made his money hitting Chapter eleven.

152
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.839
Pete Rose was known for his hustle on the field.

153
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.720
Trump's known for his hustle in court. Rose broke records

154
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:01.439
on the field. Trump breaks records for most impeachments. Joe

155
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.800
Biden remember him, Don't worry, he doesn't either. Biden told

156
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.720
a bunch of Olympic athletes at the White House that

157
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.519
he couldn't attend the Paris Games because, drum roll please,

158
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:13.319
he's the president.

159
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:15.199
I guess being the.

160
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.639
Most powerful man in the world comes with some drawbacks,

161
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.839
like not being able to watch people throw javelins in person.

162
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:25.680
Now here's where it gets interesting. Biden says, they wouldn't

163
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:30.439
let him go. Who's they, you ask, Well, your guess

164
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.559
is as good as mine. Maybe it's his staff, maybe

165
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.279
it's the Illuminati, or maybe it's just the voice in

166
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.399
