Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:10.480
Live from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where you

3
00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:13.240
shouldn't drink with the hotties for Harris until two am.

4
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:15.919
If you have to record a podcast, this is ballot

5
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:16.559
that's right.

6
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.399
But on the other hand, you only live once, and

7
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.199
old mac Davis had himself quite the night with the hotties.

8
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.039
And I'm feeling much better now thanks to some Luella's

9
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:26.760
Southern Kitchen Google it.

10
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:28.000
Let's hit this.

11
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.240
Well as I hang around the convention center until what

12
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:34.320
are we going for tonight?

13
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.200
Dems? One am, two am? You guys?

14
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.240
Ever hear the theory of putting the big star on?

15
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.799
At ten, Donald Trump is at it again, tossing out

16
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.119
more bizarre hot takes than a twenty four hour news

17
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.359
cycle can handle. This time, he's got his sight set

18
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.920
on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and in true Trump fashion,

19
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.240
he's taken it to a whole new level of weird.

20
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.399
In a post that read like a fever dream, Trump

21
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:01.399
decided to drag Shapiro's religion into the mix. Yep, nothing

22
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.519
says rational political discourse quite like throwing.

23
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:05.959
Around a guy's faith to score points.

24
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.079
Trump labeled Shapiro as the highly overrated Jewish governor of

25
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.920
the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Now, why the sudden obsession

26
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.239
with Shapiro, Oh, just because Shapiro had the audacity to

27
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.840
say that Trump is a man with no guardrails who

28
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:21.920
wants to take away our rights and our freedoms.

29
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.920
Ouch So, naturally, Trump's response was to.

30
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.519
Call Shapiro out for fighting for Comrade Kamala Harris and

31
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.079
to claim that she hates Israel, because when you're Donald Trump,

32
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.719
the best way to rebut criticism is to throw in

33
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.879
some casual references to communism and religious identity. Trump went

34
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:40.799
on to claim that he's done more for Israel than

35
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.519
anyone in the history of well everything. I have done

36
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.000
more for Israel than any president, and frankly, I have

37
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:49.760
done more for Israel than any person.

38
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.280
And it's not even close, he proclaimed.

39
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.079
Yeah, he said that, And just when you thought it

40
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.480
couldn't get any stranger, he dragged Vice President Harris into

41
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.719
the mix, suggesting that her not picking Shapiro as a

42
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.959
running mate was an insult to Jewish people. Shapiro of

43
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.560
course fired back, calling Trump the least credible person to

44
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:10.879
listen to when it comes to hate and bigotry, and

45
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:12.240
certainly antisemitism.

46
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:14.439
He also reminded everyone that.

47
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.759
Antisemitism has no place in their conversations, let alone their

48
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.080
political discourse. Trump recently got all fired up over reports

49
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.479
that the late Queen Elizabeth the ion and found him

50
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.639
very rude, and, because why not, decided to claim that

51
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:33.280
he was her favorite president. Move over, Dwight, Ronnie and Barack.

52
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.919
Trump's rewriting history again. So here's the setup. A journalist

53
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.479
named Craig Brown, who's apparently in Trump's sleees bag hall

54
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.479
of fame, published a book claiming the Queen wasn't exactly.

55
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:47.080
A fan of the Donald.

56
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.840
She supposedly thought he was rude and even speculated that

57
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:55.400
his marriage to Milania might have some arrangement ouch. But Trump,

58
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.960
never wanted to shy away from a good ghost fight,

59
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:02.280
decided to hit back, insisting the whole story was totally false.

60
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.000
In an interview after a rally in North Carolina, he

61
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.400
went on to suggest that they were basically besties, chatting

62
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.759
on the redge, I spoke to her often, He said,

63
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.199
like he was calling up an old buddy to reminisce

64
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.960
about the good old days, and then the peace to resistance.

65
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.400
She said to friends of mine that President Trump was

66
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.240
my favorite president. Sure, don, and I'm sure she also

67
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.439
told you that Buckingham Palace was originally designed with Trump

68
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:30.240
tower and mind.

69
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.599
But wait, it gets better. Trump didn't stop it.

70
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.560
Just defending himself, he decided to drag the Queen's impeccable.

71
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:38.319
Legacy into the mud.

72
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.400
It's a shame that a sleesbag can write an article

73
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:45.199
that's totally false, he fumed, And just like that, he

74
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.719
managed to turn a mild historical critique into a full

75
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.439
blown paranormal political feud.

76
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:51.639
Of course, this isn't Trump's.

77
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.719
First rodeo with outlandish claims, but seriously, trying to win

78
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.840
a posthumous popularity contest with the Queen.

79
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.240
That's a new low even for him.

80
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.919
At thirteen out of the fourteen US presidents during her reign,

81
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.639
and she was known for her diplomacy and grace, she

82
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.879
wasn't exactly the type to play favorites, unless you count

83
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:10.520
her corgies.

84
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.280
But Trump, he's convinced he was top dog.

85
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.519
Meanwhile, former royal staffers and just about anyone with a

86
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.800
shred of common sense are rolling their eyes. One former

87
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.600
Buckingham Palace staffer even chimed in, calling the whole idea ridiculous,

88
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.920
But hey, in Trump's world, why let facts get in

89
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.000
the way of a good story.

90
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.000
So there you have it, Donald Trump versus the ghost

91
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.160
of Queen Elizabeth, the feud we never knew we needed

92
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:37.079
or wanted.

93
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.319
Well, it looks like John Legend just hit a sour

94
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.199
note at the Democratic National Convention.

95
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:48.199
Quite literally.

96
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.519
The Grammy winning crooner took the stage with Sheila E

97
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:55.399
to perform Prince's iconic Let's Go Crazy, But instead of

98
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.279
getting people to party like it's nineteen ninety nine, he

99
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.800
left them wondering if they had accidental stumbled into a

100
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:05.399
bad karaoke night. Legend, who's usually known for his smooth vocals,

101
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.600
seemed to miss the memo that Prince's music isn't exactly

102
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.680
in the same lane as all of me. Social media

103
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.199
quickly lit up like Times Square on New Year's Eve,

104
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.279
and let's just say the reviews were not glowing. One

105
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:22.920
unimpressed fan on x formerly Twitter didn't hold back. Who

106
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.399
the hell decided that John Legend was the perfect pick

107
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:26.759
to perform Let's Go Crazy?

108
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:28.360
Don't do that crap again?

109
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:33.000
Another fan wasn't exactly feeling the Legend vibes, either declaring

110
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.600
I don't want to hear John Legend sing Prince songs.

111
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.319
And then there was the piece to resistance. Why did

112
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.079
they choose John Legend to perform a Prince song? He

113
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.439
can't hit the notes and he has no vibe. What

114
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:48.279
an insult to Prince's legacy. Honestly, people leave it alone already,

115
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:49.399
have some respect.

116
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:50.600
Ouch.

117
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.279
You know it's bad when people are using all caps

118
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.439
for emphasis. And if that wasn't enough, someone posted a

119
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.399
gift of logan Roy from Succession looking thoroughly unimpressed, aptioning

120
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.000
it Prince in Heaven seeing John Legend's tribute to him.

121
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.519
Legend's performance came just before Minnesota Governor Tim Walls took

122
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.040
the stage for his big moment, and you can bet

123
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.360
there were more than a few side eyes being exchanged

124
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.120
in the audience. Let's not forget that Prince, the beloved

125
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.680
musical genius, was a native of Minnesota.

126
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.319
So yeah, no pressure or anything, John. Now.

127
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.360
Sheila E, who actually knew and worked with Prince, was

128
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.680
on stage with Legend and reportedly brought the heat. But

129
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:29.959
it seems that even her killer drumming couldn't save the

130
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:34.720
night from the lukewarm reception to Legend's rendition. All right, folks,

131
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.439
gather around for some piping hot political pizza drama. So

132
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.279
New York Governor Kathy Hokeel, while in Chicago for the

133
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.279
Democratic National Convention, decided to weigh in on one of

134
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.240
the most divisive issues of our time pizza, and not

135
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:52.600
just any pizza, Chicago Deep Dish. Now, when handed a

136
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:56.040
slice of Chicago's beloved Deep Dish, she didn't exactly jump

137
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.120
for joy. In fact, she looked at it like it

138
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.240
had just insulted mother. When asked to take a bite

139
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.519
on camera, she hesitated, look the pizza up and down,

140
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.480
and basically said, why is it so tall? And then

141
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.319
she dropped the ultimate diss an hour to cook. I'm

142
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.759
a New Yorker. We don't have an hour for pizza.

143
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.279
We want our pizza like we want our subway, fast, greasy,

144
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.000
and with just a hint of danger. Yes, folks, she's

145
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.800
practically the Michelangelo of mozzarella.

146
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:27.839
And just when you thought it couldn't get any.

147
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.959
Worse for the Deep Dish defenders, she delivered the final blow.

148
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.120
If you want to know about pizzas, talk to me.

149
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:39.160
So Chicago. Sorry, but it looks like your pizza just

150
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.399
isn't cutting it in the Empire State. But hey, at

151
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:43.920
least you've still got your hot dogs.

152
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.560
Just don't try offering her. One of those.

153
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.680
Portions of today's show were made with the help of AI.

154
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.600
You know who could use AI, The Democrats who make

155
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:54.519
the nightly schedule.

156
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:56.959
How about we get out of here before twelve thirty

157
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:57.319
tonight
