00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.720
Caalaroga Shark Media from Washington, DC, where our SEO guys said, what
2
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:14.119
is Project twenty twenty five? Would
be good for downloads? This is ballot,
3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.879
that's right. We thought everyone would
want to dunk on the press conference
4
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:23.920
from last night, but guess not. Let's hit this. So what exactly
5
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:29.960
is Project twenty twenty five? Picture
the Heritage Foundation and their conservative pals huddling
6
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:34.320
in a secret layer concocting a near
nine hundred page wish list for the next
7
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:39.840
Republican overlord. It's like their Mandate
for Leadership series on steroids, full of
8
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:44.759
grand ideas like axing the Commerce and
Education departments and deploying the military at the
9
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.280
border. They also want to get
rid of porn, but I will remind
10
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.600
them, without porn, there are
no porn stars. And without porn stars,
11
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.439
who are you going to cheat on
your third wife with? And it's
12
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.119
no coincidence that Trump's name pops up
in there more often than a Kardashian in
13
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.719
a tabloid. Kevin Roberts, the
head honcho at Heritage, has dreams of
14
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:08.439
sparking a second American Revolution, which
he assures us will stay bloodless if the
15
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:14.560
Left allows it. Charming. He's
been cooking up this scheme since twenty twenty
16
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.159
two, hoping it's the golden ticket
to a right wing utopia. Project twenty
17
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.480
twenty five isn't shy about its radical
ideas. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
18
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:29.519
gets a special shout out as a
climate change alarm industry villain, because you
19
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.359
know, weather men are the real
enemy here. Despite Trump's who me routine,
20
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.200
his fingerprints are all over Project twenty
twenty five. Key architects include his
21
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:44.040
former budget director Russell T. Vaught
and personnel chief John mcintee, the guy
22
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:49.159
who was Trump's broom in sweeping out
disloyal officials. Trump may claim he's clueless
23
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.959
about the whole thing, but that's
like saying he doesn't know what a spray
24
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.079
tan is. On abortion, Project
twenty twenty five is ready to go medieval,
25
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:04.239
while Trump's official Agenda forty seven is
conspicuously silent. Trump's been waffling on
26
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.280
the issue like it's a game of
political twister, trying to avoid making waves
27
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.599
post Roe v. Wade. In
the end, Project twenty twenty five is
28
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.560
a smorgasboard of right wing dreams and
nightmares, depending on your perspective. Whether
29
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.560
Trump acknowledges it or not, the
ties between his campaign and this hefty document
30
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.159
are undeniable. It's like a political
soap opera, with Trump playing the role
31
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:30.719
of the amnijiack villain who swears he's
never seen this plot before. The Washington
32
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:36.560
Post has an editorial under the headline
opinion, Are we really going to give
33
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.120
Trump a pass? Come on?
Man? Wait? Is that right?
34
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.919
Does the headline say, come on
man? Yes, yes it does.
35
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.840
Democracy dies in darkness man. The
Post rights the heavy handed attempt to force
36
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:53.479
Biden to quit the race after his
disastrous debate has predictably backfired. Biden has
37
00:02:53.560 --> 00:03:00.240
dug in pitting elites against the people. Democrats are fighting among themselves. George
38
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:05.080
Clooney is diagnosing Biden's mental competence.
He played doctor Doug ross on Er,
39
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.639
after all, and Republicans can hardly
believe their good fortune as they portray Biden
40
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.639
as a zombie with no good answer
to their attacks. Trump's doral rally was
41
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.520
full of endless variations. On the
weekend at Bernie's Theme, Marco Rubio,
42
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.159
now in the final round of auditions
to become Trump's running mate, warmed up
43
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:30.280
the crowd by identifying a conspiracy to
hide Biden's mental condition. He went on,
44
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:35.840
we know he's not calling the shots. Look, the guy's a figurehead
45
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.879
for a shadow government of leftists that
are propping him up. Then came Donald
46
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.719
Trump, Junior. We're running against
a party that wants to take away your
47
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.080
AR fifteen, but they gave a
vegetable the nuclear codes, he began.
48
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:52.240
He tried another. If Joe Biden
showed up to pick you up in an
49
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.800
uber, would you get in the
car? Would you let your worst enemy
50
00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:00.159
get in that car? Maybe?
Maybe dumb to die? Right, folks?
51
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.000
Well, I can answer that.
If Joe Biden picked me up in
52
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.360
an uber, I would absolutely get
in, and I'd record an interview into
53
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.599
my iPhone and then I'd have the
number one podcast, and then maybe we
54
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.040
could afford to fly to Milwaukee next
week instead of taking a Greyhound bus.
55
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:18.879
So yes, Don Junior, I
would get in. Now would I let
56
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.519
my worst enemy get in? Did
you mean Norma? She can get in
57
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:32.639
too. She should get home safe
to her nine cats. Jimmy Fallon continued
58
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.680
his scathing commentary, saying the whispers
about Biden dropping out of the race or
59
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.360
getting louder they're getting so loud Biden
can almost hear them. Biden hasn't seen
60
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.160
this many people jump ship since he
took that vacation on the Titanic. The
61
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.160
political drama never stops, does it. Barack Obama, the guy who once
62
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:54.360
gave us yes, we can,
is now apparently saying, eh, maybe
63
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:59.560
we shouldn't so. After Joe Biden's
debate performance that had Democrats booking one way
64
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.639
tickets the Moon, Obama stepped up
to defend his old buddy Joe on X,
65
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:09.040
saying, bad debate nights happen.
Trust me, I know, because
66
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.319
nothing says everything's fine, like the
political equivalent of a pity pad on the
67
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.720
back, but behind closed doors.
According to The Washington Post, Obama was
68
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.319
practically shaking his head like a disappointed
dad at a little league game. He
69
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:28.439
reportedly told his pals that Biden's path
to reelection just got tougher than finding an
70
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.959
honest man at a used car dealership. Here's where it gets juicy. George
71
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:36.680
Clooney, Hollywood silver fox and big
time Democratic donor, decided to play political
72
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:41.399
assassin. He wrote an op ed
in The New York Times saying Biden should
73
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.319
step down because Let's face it,
Biden's showing his age more than that old
74
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.240
pair of sweatpants you just can't throw
away. Clooney even gave Obama a heads
75
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:53.279
up before he published it, and
Obama he just nodded along like he was
76
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:58.600
watching a particularly boring episode of Antique's
road Show. Politico tells us that Obama
77
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.399
didn't exactly give Clooney a high five
for his move, but he also didn't
78
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.879
slap the idea down. It's like
when you tell your friend you're gonna break
79
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:11.079
up with their cousin and they just
shrug. Obama's lack of pushback is now
80
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:15.360
causing Biden's camp to break out in
a cold sweat, suspecting the former pres
81
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.959
might be playing puppet master behind the
scenes. As if the political soap opera
82
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:24.519
couldn't get any better, Trump waddled
into the scene, swinging wildly on truth
83
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:29.279
social He ripped into Clooney, calling
him a fake movie actor who never made
84
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:33.480
a good film. Someone's definitely jealous
of Clooney's two oscars. Trump ranted that
85
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:39.319
Biden, aka Crooked Joe, is
a disaster who's done everything from weaponizing law
86
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:44.279
enforcement to letting people pour in from
prisons and mental institutions. It's like watching
87
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.920
a fever dream on social media.
So what's the takeaway? Well, it
88
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.959
seems Biden's camp is left defending the
president by pointing out that Clooney left a
89
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:57.360
fundraiser three hours early, as if
that's proof Biden's got more stamina than a
90
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:01.480
Hollywood a lister. Meanwhile, Trump's
camp is hoping Biden stays in the race
91
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.600
because they figure he's easier to beat
than someone who hasn't recently mistaken Putin for
92
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:13.480
Zelenski. On tomorrow's show, I'll
finally tell you which candidate allegedly ate a
93
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.600
dog. That is, if Joe
and Don can keep it together this afternoon.
94
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.560
By the time you're hearing this,
I'll be on a bus at the
95
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:24.959
Port Authority with tomorrow's show already in
the can with the help of AI.
96
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.120
Just like today's show. Keep it
together, guys, and no, I'm
97
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.360
not on my way to the shorehouse. I'm taking a bus to Milwaukee.
98
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.319
We don't have much budget on this
show. We should probably run some more
99
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.959
online casino ads. See you in
the morning.
