Show Notes
Transcript

Mac Davies dives into Trump's wild cabinet picks, featuring WWE's Linda McMahon for Education and Dr. Oz's surprise Medicare role.

1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.240
Callaroga shark media from the land of Oz. This is

2
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.400
ballad Oz. Are we promoting wicked or something?

3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:15.919
Nope, Oz is the name of the person who will

4
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:18.800
be in charge of Medicaid. Well, at least it's not

5
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:20.359
like Trump hired a former wrestler.

6
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:21.359
Let's hit this.

7
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.440
Trump's playing cabinet musical chairs again, and this time Linda

8
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.440
McMahon's getting the Education secretary spot. I hope she doesn't

9
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.520
hit someone over the head with one of those chairs.

10
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.439
Can you smell what the Trump is cooking? McMahon makes sense.

11
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.600
Who better to handle our education system than someone who

12
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.799
made their fortune watching people hit each other with folding chairs.

13
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.799
And speaking of wrestling matches, we've got Howard Lutnik body

14
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.679
slamming his way into Commerce secretary after trying to get

15
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.719
his hands on the treasury belt. Some transition team members

16
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.200
are upset about this domino effect, but hey, that's politics.

17
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.000
It's just like WWE, except the script is slightly less believab.

18
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.920
For example, in a storyline, even Vince McMahon wouldn't try

19
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.680
to sell doctor Oz is being tapped to run Medicare

20
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.640
and Medicaid. Finally, someone who can prescribe miracle weight loss

21
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.840
pills to our national debt. Doctor Oz lost his Senate

22
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.640
race in Pennsylvania, but he's still getting a job running

23
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.680
healthcare for one hundred and fifty million Americans. It's like

24
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.760
getting rejected at McDonald's but then being made CEO of

25
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.640
Burger King. At least he has experience in television, which

26
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.000
these days seems to be the main qualification for any

27
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:33.120
government position. Hey, maybe next week Trump will nominate doctor

28
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.560
Phil for Surgeon General and Judge Judy for the Supreme Court.

29
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.920
Everyone seems to have forgotten we might wind up with

30
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:40.680
President jd.

31
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:41.120
Vance.

32
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.480
Trump still has more pending cases than a luggage store.

33
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.840
Let's break down this legal lasagna. Shall we first up

34
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.920
the Manhattan hush money case, you know, the one where

35
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.359
Trump allegedly paid more to keep someone quiet than most

36
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.560
Americans make in three years. The DA's office is now

37
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.640
doing the legal equivalent of oh, shoot one, uh, can

38
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.359
we get a rain check on that sentencing. Then there's

39
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.920
the classified documents case. You remember, the one where Trump

40
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.360
treated top secret documents like they were hotel towels. Well,

41
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.360
Judge Cannon dismissed that faster than Trump dismisses his campaign managers.

42
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.120
So he's good there, but the real showstopper is down

43
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.840
in Georgia where Trump can't pardon his way out of

44
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.680
this one. It's state charges, baby, though the case is

45
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.840
currently moving slower than molasses in January thanks to some

46
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:35.599
appeals court drama. Oh man, you know the Dallas Cowboys

47
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:36.840
season has been a disaster.

48
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:37.719
When Stephen A.

49
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.919
Smith is comparing Jerry Jones to Joe Biden, Smith said,

50
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.599
I'm getting very, very worried about Jerry Jones because the

51
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:47.919
only thing that's worse than the team's play is his

52
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.840
press conferences or whatever you want to call it. When

53
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.560
he is in front of the reporters where he says

54
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.479
one thing after another after another. I find myself thinking

55
00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:59.639
about Joe Biden before he backed out of running for

56
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.159
real life. And listen, he's only one month. I think

57
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.120
Jerry is one month older than President Joe Biden. For

58
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.719
crying out loud, I remember when I was on the

59
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:13.520
airwaves literally guys, nine ten months ago and was like, yo,

60
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.960
he can't be the nominee, he can't make it to the.

61
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.479
Democratic National Convention. Y'all got to change.

62
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.439
Y'all got to do something to change. You know what

63
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.199
this means, folks, it's time for Kamala Harris to run

64
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.560
the Cowboys. She already has experience losing the teams from Pennsylvania,

65
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.000
so she'll feel right at home. A new poll shows

66
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.240
Kamala Harris is leading the twenty twenty eight Democratic primary

67
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.280
race with forty one percent. I guess after watching Trump

68
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.120
sweep all seven swing states like a mar A Lago Janitor,

69
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.120
Democrats decided, hey, you know what we need more of

70
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.280
exactly what didn't work before. I mean, at that point,

71
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.319
just run ninety seven year old Hillary Clinton again. Gavin

72
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.919
Newsom came in at eight percent, which is roughly the

73
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:57.719
same percentage of Californians who.

74
00:03:57.639 --> 00:03:58.919
Can still afford to live there.

75
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.680
Even Kaiti Kuric just went full Gordon Ramsey on Kamala

76
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.360
Harris's interview skills, basically saying what we've all been thinking.

77
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.639
Watching Harris answer questions is like watching someone try to

78
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.080
explain quantum physics while riding a unicycle.

79
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:14.680
Lots of movement, zero progress.

80
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:20.120
According to Couric, Harris's CNN town hall was word salad city,

81
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.680
and not the kind with the fancy dressing. We're talking

82
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.079
about the kind where you dump everything in the linguistic

83
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.879
fridge into a bowl and hope nobody notices it doesn't

84
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.480
make sense. When asked about the Supreme Court, Harris gave

85
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.279
an answer shorter than Tom Cruise at a basketball tryout,

86
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.279
then moon walked right into a completely different topic. Kuric said,

87
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.879
you know, people notice that, and it's like, answer the

88
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.959
damn question please. Portions of today's show were made with

89
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.839
the help of AI, which means

90
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:50.439
It was just as real as wrestling.
