1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:09.560
Calaroga Shark media from Gotham City, which isn't even a

2
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:10.080
real place.

3
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:11.919
But don't tell Trump that this is.

4
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:17.960
Ballot that's right, and Catwoman better watch out for horny Haitians. Hey,

5
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.640
that's a pretty good joke. The AI didn't help with

6
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:21.039
that one.

7
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.039
That was all me. Okay, let's hit this.

8
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:28.640
It looks like the Al Smith Dinner is turning into

9
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:33.119
a real comedy extravaganza. Donald Trump and Jim Gaffigan are

10
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.600
set to co headline this shindig after Kamala Harris decided

11
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.039
she had better things to do than trade barbes with

12
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.840
the former president. I guess she didn't want to risk

13
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:46.600
getting ketchup on her white tie ensemble. Gaffigan, ever, the Optimist,

14
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.479
is still holding out hope that Harris might change her mind.

15
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.359
He's even offered to let her crash at his place

16
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.759
with his five kids, because nothing says RESTful campaign stop

17
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.479
like sharing a bunk bed with a toddler and waking

18
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.719
up to billed cheerios on your pantsuit. Meanwhile, Trump's over

19
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.120
on truth social bragging about his highly successful appearance in

20
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.400
twenty sixteen. You know, the one where he accused Hillary

21
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.719
Clinton of hating Catholics. Trump's now accusing Harris of persecuting Catholics,

22
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.879
apparently hosting a transgender event on Easter Sunday is the

23
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.319
modern day equivalent of feeding Christians to the lions who knew.

24
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.280
At a recent speech, Trump asked the crowd, what the

25
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:27.400
hell do you have to lose?

26
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.959
Stephen Colbert said, I've compiled a list.

27
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:36.680
Democracy, reproductive rights, sanity, the environment, the Department of Education,

28
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.640
the ability to look your grandchildren in the eye, the

29
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.319
ability to wear a red hat ever again, support for

30
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.239
our allies, and the strategic McNugget reserve. Seth Meyers commented

31
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.200
on Trump's recent visit to Long Island. As we all know,

32
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.200
every presidential election comes down to Long Island. We all

33
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.120
remember the nail biting final days of the twenty twenty election,

34
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.159
when everyone waited with bated breath to see which which

35
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.959
candidate would win, the crucial demographic of uncles who smoke

36
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.959
Marlborough lights and won't stop talking about the Jets ninety

37
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.360
eight season. Let me tell you something, kid, I'll vote

38
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.639
for anybody who gives the Presidential Medal of Freedom to

39
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.680
Vinnie Testaverdi. Ronnie Chang added, now I know what you're thinking,

40
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:17.400
is New York a swing state?

41
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:18.520
No it's not.

42
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.400
But Trump just wanted to go someplace where people wear

43
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.439
more bronzer than him. Colbert tagged on, Oh, people love

44
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.120
you in New York, sir. In fact, just this summer,

45
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.560
Trump won a unanimous vote from twelve of his peers.

46
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:33.599
It looks like we've got a new comedy star on

47
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.680
the rise, and his name is Samuel Wiles or is

48
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:37.120
it JD.

49
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:41.000
Vance? At this point, who can tell? Wiles has been

50
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:42.680
doing such a spot on impression of.

51
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:47.560
Our favorite hillbilly elegy author turned GOPVP hopeful. Even Swiss

52
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:52.000
Cheese and Philly is getting confused. Apparently Wiles stumbled into

53
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.960
this gig by accident, you know, just like how Vance

54
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.560
accidentally stumbled into being a conservative mouthpiece. The resemblance is

55
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.240
so unc ny they could probably swap places at a

56
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.759
Trump rally and no one would notice, well except maybe

57
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.439
the dog eating Haitians, speaking of which, Wiles has been

58
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.879
having a field day with Vance's let's say, unique campaign moments,

59
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.560
from flannel fashion, faux pas at the border to conspiracy

60
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:19.360
theories that make QAnon look sane.

61
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.680
He's covering it all. It's like watching a.

62
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.759
Train wreck if the train was powered by dark magic

63
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.599
and wearing a sinister top hat.

64
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.159
I read Hillbilly Elogy when it came out.

65
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.639
I remember liking it while I was reading it, said Wiles,

66
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.439
then putting it down and going, oh, what an a hole.

67
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.879
Then when he became an outright conservative media figure that

68
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.520
seemed really logical. It will never not be funny to

69
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.520
me that he's a huge fraud and no one likes him.

70
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:47.719
He doesn't even get the benefit of the weird lying,

71
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.800
said Wiles. His life would be so much easier if

72
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.120
he could be honest, but there are so many layers

73
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.759
he can't have an honest moment now. But here's the kicker, folks.

74
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.000
Wiles says he hopes Vance doesn't respond to his impression

75
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.479
because and I quote, I don't know if JD has

76
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.400
the ability anymore to ingest why my impression of him

77
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.520
is funny at this point, Ouch, that's colder than a

78
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.439
Philly cheese steak made with Swiss. And let's not forget

79
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.319
the secret ingredient to nailing that. Vance look wet and

80
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.600
wild mascara from Walgreens. My fiance works in beauty and

81
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.040
did my eyeliner for the first round of videos, and

82
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:24.199
we kind of both realized it needed to look worse,

83
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.160
he said. So now I just get the three dollars

84
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.439
wet and wild from Walgreens and mash it into my

85
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.040
eyes on my own, he added, shout out to Walgreens,

86
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.920
which kind of sounds like the type of random thing

87
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.800
Trump posts on truth Social at three am, shout out

88
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:47.120
to Walgreens. Baron Trump, Donald Trump's youngest son and now

89
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.920
a freshman at New York University, has unexpectedly found himself

90
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.319
at the center of a TikTok frenzy. His classmates have

91
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:59.360
turned into covert documentarians, posting grainy, stealthily filmed videos of

92
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.360
him strolling around campus, often set to music like Camillionaire's

93
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:07.000
Ride In. According to Wired, these clips have a certain

94
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.639
Bigfoot like vibe, with shaky camera work in distant angles

95
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.439
that have racked up hundreds of thousands of views. Despite

96
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:18.720
the viral attention, the content isn't exactly revealing. None of

97
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.959
the videos offer much insight into Baron's personality, academic pursuits,

98
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.759
or even the curious rumor that he's majoring in aquatic biology. Still,

99
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:32.120
his presence at NYU, a famously liberal institution has sparked

100
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:36.000
intrigue among students like Grace Rowley. She told Wired, I

101
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.279
feel like Baron could have gone to any school, but

102
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.040
the fact that he chose one of the most liberal

103
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.519
schools in the country speaks volumes. She added that she's

104
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.199
fascinated by his decision and would love to read his

105
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.720
y NYU essay. So far, Baron's been elusive in more

106
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.360
ways than one, but his TikTok popularity continues to grow

107
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.639
as NYU students try to capture a glimpse of the

108
00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:01.839
former first son in action. Man, some things never change.

109
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.040
Back in nineteen sixty six, the Penguin ran for Mayor

110
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.879
of Gotham City, his opponent Batman, and here's what the

111
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.639
Penguin had to say, how do you do, ladies and gentlemen.

112
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.000
The station KGM is very happy and proud to bring

113
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.720
you a debate between the candidate who are running from

114
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.360
mayor of Gotham City. I believe the Penguin will lead

115
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:23.360
off the debate. Friends and pelosicians. I want to give

116
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.800
you my solemn word that there will be no mud

117
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:28.800
slinging in this campaign, and I, of course my opponent

118
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.680
slings it, but I intend to stick to the issues,

119
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.959
and what are the issues? There is only one Batman?

120
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:36.240
Who is he?

121
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.240
Who is this acrobatic clown whose somersaults around Gotham City

122
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.240
and then that ridiculous costume. I suggest that behind that mask,

123
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.639
Batman is in reality a dangerous criminal.

124
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:48.600
Why else does he.

125
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.600
Wear a mask? Why else does he conceal his past?

126
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.319
When you think about that a moment, My friends, whenever

127
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:59.279
you've seen Batman, who you live? Criminals? That's who you

128
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.240
look at your newspapers. Every picture of Batman shows him

129
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.000
with thugs and with thieves and had knobbing with crooks,

130
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.319
whereas my picture is rus show me always surrounded by.

131
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:12.600
Own by the police.

132
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.759
Now which man do you want to run Gotham City?

133
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.639
A man like myself who is always in the company

134
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.839
of the law, or a man like Batman who rubs

135
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.720
elbows were the worst elements of this city, and who

136
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.439
is undoubtedly a desperate criminal himself. Think about it. Without

137
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.879
writer annals, no much singing in this cafe.

138
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.920
You know he's got a point. Batman is always around criminals.

139
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.600
What's with that? Shout out to Walgreens
