Trump's bogus Taylor Swift support, Biden and Hillary to speak tonight (Live from the DNC)

Show Notes
Transcript

Donald Trump is at it again, this time using AI-generated images to falsely claim that Taylor Swift has endorsed him for president. In a series of posts on his Truth Social account, Trump shared doctored images of Swift and her fans wearing “Swifties for Trump” shirts, alongside other fabricated content, including a photoshopped picture of Swift as Uncle Sam.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is planning to go "incognito" at the Democratic National Convention by... shaving off his mustache? Because, you know, nothing screams stealth like a guy famous for selling pillows and spouting conspiracy theories showing up clean-shaven. He's really going all out on this one, folks.

1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.439
Calaroga Shark Media live from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago,

2
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.160
where hopefully this time the producer schedules the podcast to

3
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:14.720
actually publish. This is ballot.

4
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:19.160
That's right, our producer scheduled the previous episode for three pm,

5
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.000
not three am. Glad to see the bosses back home

6
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.280
or qcing this thing. It only took everyone twelve hours

7
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:28.839
to notice. No wonder, crooked media overpays everyone and gives

8
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:30.000
them nine weeks vacation.

9
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:32.320
Okay, let's hit this.

10
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.640
Donald Trump is at it again, this time using AI

11
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.079
generated images to falsely claim that Taylor Swift has endorsed

12
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:44.799
him for president. In a series of posts on his

13
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:48.159
truth social account, Trump shared doctored images of Swift and

14
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.359
her fans wearing Swifties for Trump's shirts, alongside other fabricated content,

15
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.719
including a photoshopped picture of Swift as Uncle Sam. The

16
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.200
images are clearly manipulated, but that didn't stop Trump from

17
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.480
enthusiastically accepting the supposed endorsement with a gleeful I accept

18
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.920
on his post as expected. Swift's team has not yet commented,

19
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:11.760
but it's worth noting that she endorsed Joe Biden in

20
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:16.560
twenty twenty and has previously criticized Trump, particularly for his response.

21
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:17.640
To the George Floyd protests.

22
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.439
In the past, Trump has said, I think she's beautiful,

23
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.239
very beautiful. I find her very beautiful. I think she's liberal.

24
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.840
She probably doesn't like Trump. I hear she's very talented.

25
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.359
I think she's very beautiful, actually unusually beautiful.

26
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:34.239
Boy.

27
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.799
Reading that back, I think the producers may have given

28
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.200
me a transcript from Gump, not Trump Man.

29
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:41.280
Don't the Republicans know.

30
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.159
I just want to hand in goofy stories and head

31
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.079
to the Harris Hotties party. Instead, they went and made

32
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:50.359
actual news with this one. Remember Joe Biden, don't worry,

33
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.760
he doesn't either. The man's trying to retire, and now

34
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:55.920
House Republicans are hitting him with a two hundred and

35
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.680
ninety one page report accusing him of abusive power, obstruction

36
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.959
of just and running a twenty seven million dollars influence

37
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:07.560
pedaling racket. According to the GOP, Biden didn't just chat

38
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:11.000
with his son Hunter's foreign business partners. Oh no, he

39
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:14.199
supposedly turned his vice presidency into a side hustle that

40
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:18.240
rivals some of Wall Street's finest scams. We're talking millions

41
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.759
of dollars funneling through shell companies, shady deals with countries

42
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.360
like China, Russia and Ukraine, and even a one hundred

43
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.080
and forty two thousand dollars sports car gift from Kazakhstan.

44
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:29.759
But here's the kicker.

45
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:33.280
Despite all this smoke, Biden isn't likely to be impeached.

46
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.199
Why because even the Republicans know that getting the votes

47
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.439
to impeach a lame duck president is like trying to

48
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:40.759
get your cat to take a bath.

49
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:42.120
It's just not happening.

50
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.080
Plus, then Kamala Harris would get to test drive the

51
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.360
presidency and Trump would be running against the sitting president. Anyway,

52
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.719
Remember Joe Biden from the last story, don't worry, He

53
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:56.520
doesn't either, and he's mad. Joe is gearing up for

54
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.919
what could be his most bittersweet moment yet at the

55
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:03.960
Democratic National Convention. Picture it Biden standing at the podium,

56
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.120
gazing out at a sea of cheering supporters while.

57
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.960
Internally wrestling with the sting of betrayal.

58
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.919
It's like watching your favorite band's farewell tour, except instead

59
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.520
of hit songs, it's a medley of backstabbing and political maneuvering.

60
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.840
The shame of it all, he won't even remember it.

61
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.520
As Biden prepares to pass the torch to Kamala Harris,

62
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.759
he's apparently still fuming about how he was nudged out

63
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.520
of the reelection race by the very party he served

64
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:30.199
for decades.

65
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.879
It's like being kicked out of your own birthday.

66
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.560
Party because the cool new kid, Harris has suddenly stolen

67
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.360
the spotlight. Biden's loyalists see her rise as a brutal

68
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.599
rejection of their guy, like he's yesterday's news that's only

69
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.560
good for wrapping fish. And the betrayal isn't just coming

70
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.360
from the party's upper echelon. Even his old buddy Nancy Pelosi,

71
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.479
who's been friends with Biden for fifty years, is on

72
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.560
thin ice after allegedly playing a major role in his ousting.

73
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.120
Let's not forget Barack Obama, who's friendship with Biden is

74
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:05.319
now reportedly as frosty as a Chicago winter. As Biden

75
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.639
prepares for his primetime address at the DNC, he'll be

76
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.439
highlighting his achievements and giving his blessing to Harris, all

77
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.560
while trying to secure his legacy. There's even talk of

78
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.680
him making one last splash with a potential US led

79
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:23.000
peace deal in Gaza. But make no mistake, Biden knows

80
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.879
that his legacy now hinges on Harris's ability to win

81
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.879
in November. If she loses, the whispers about Biden's late

82
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.000
exit will turn into shouts from the rooftops. And after

83
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.240
his speech, Biden's off to Santa Barbara with his family,

84
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.279
skipping the rest of the convention, including Harris's speech that

85
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:41.639
speaks volumes, doesn't it?

86
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.759
But enough with real news. I'm here for the stupid

87
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:45.519
Like this.

88
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.079
My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell is planning to go incognito

89
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:54.399
at the Democratic National Convention by shaving off his mustache

90
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:58.319
because you know, nothing screams stealth like a guy famous

91
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.040
for selling pillows and spouting conspiracy theories showing up clean shaven.

92
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.480
He's really going all out on this one, folks.

93
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.000
Lindell, who was at a pro Trump rally in Illinois,

94
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.160
decided that blending in at the DNC required a full

95
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.279
on facial hair sacrifice, and in true Lindel fashion, he

96
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.279
tried to turn his mustache's demise into a national event

97
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:22.759
by begging CNN to televise the shave live. CNN, of course,

98
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.639
responded with a resounding no, because even they have standards,

99
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.480
or maybe they just couldn't find a cameraman who could

100
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.600
keep a straight face. Apparently, Lindell thinks that losing the

101
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.959
stash will make him unrecognizable, which just shows how out

102
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.199
of touch he is. He might as well have said,

103
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.480
I'll be the guy in the fedora and sunglasses desperately

104
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.480
trying to pretend I'm not Mike Lindell. And to top

105
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.680
it off, he's teaming up with Rudy Giuliani at the DNC,

106
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.560
you know, because nothing says master of disguise like being

107
00:05:52.639 --> 00:06:08.079
Rudy's sidekick. Ah. Nothing says we're here for the people

108
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.920
quite like clearing out a restaurant full of regular folks

109
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.399
just so Kamala Harris and Tim Walls can grab a

110
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:17.040
sandwich without having to rub elbows with, you know, actual voters.

111
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.879
Patrons at the legendary Primante Brothers in Pittsburgh got a

112
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.519
rude awakening when they were unceremoniously booted from the premises

113
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.279
to make way for the Harris campaign. Stop Mark Dodson,

114
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.800
just a guy looking to enjoy a quiet afternoon with

115
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.879
a pirate's game and a signature Primante's Sandwich found himself

116
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.079
on the receiving end of a last call that wasn't

117
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.639
about closing time. It was about clearing out for the VIPs.

118
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:45.120
Mind boggling is how Dodson described the situation. But hey,

119
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.439
nothing says we care about your vote like shutting off

120
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.240
the game and asking you to leave.

121
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:52.839
As if that wasn't enough.

122
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.439
Harris decided to swing by a Sheet's convenience store on

123
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.199
her way out of town, snagging some Doritos while conveniently

124
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.519
ignoring that the administration is suing the same chain for

125
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.279
allegedly violating civil rights laws. You've got to love the

126
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.040
optics a VP grabbing snacks from a store her administration

127
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.680
is dragging to court. That's the kind of attention to

128
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.279
detail that really inspires confidence, isn't it. And let's not

129
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.519
forget the protesters who lined the streets shouting about how

130
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.759
they were kicked out of Promant's, accusing the campaign of

131
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.399
hiring actors to fill the restaurant for the cameras.

132
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:26.959
I mean, if you're.

133
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:28.920
Going to clear out a place, at least bring in

134
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:33.680
some convincing extras. Right in the end, the Harris Walls

135
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.439
bus rolled out of town, leaving behind a trail of

136
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:40.160
disgruntled diners and some rather confused Pittsburghers who just wanted

137
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.160
to enjoy their Sunday. But hey, at least Harris got

138
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:47.240
her Dorito's right priorities. Portions of today's program were made

139
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:48.079
with the help of AI.

140
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:49.439
Maybe we can.

141
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.720
Teach the AI to schedule these things so they go

142
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:53.360
out on time, not twelve hours late.

143
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:55.199
Okay, big night coming up.

144
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.839
We have Hillary speaking, and then Joe Biden remember him,

145
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.680
That's okay, he doesn't either, and then I got invited

146
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.319
to the hotties for harris after party. So if there's

147
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.199
not an episode at three am, that might not be

148
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.160
the producer's fault, if you know what I mean.
