the United Auto Workers Union is filing charges against former president Donald Trump and Elon Musk after their
00:00:05
conversation on X during the chat Trump praised musk for his anti-union stances calling him the cutter I don't know how
00:00:12
he came up with that well Trump and Ela boasted the conversation reach quote a billion users X is not disclos any
00:00:17
monetary information or advise surrounding the arrangement with the Trump campaign I mean the ex's space
00:00:22
started out about 45 minutes lat for people don't know due to technical difficulties which musk blamed on an
00:00:27
attack the Harris campaign wasted no time in making fun of the situation putting out a statement saying Trump's
00:00:33
entire campaign is in the service of people like Elon Musk and himself self-obsessed Rich guys who will sell
00:00:38
out the middle class and who cannot run a live stream in the year 2024 um also The Campaign which is doing
00:00:44
really well has put out a statement I don't know who's doing their social media saying it's been zero days since
00:00:49
JD Vance insulted women across the country so talk about the the Harris campaign is funny they're funny what do
00:00:58
you think about their humor does it land I I think it's no I think it's it's riding the right line tell me how so I I
00:01:07
think in comedy it typically a joke has a setup and a punchline and and a setup is something that we all agree to be
00:01:15
true and the punchline is a left turn that we don't see coming and I think the problem with political comedy in
00:01:23
everything year 2016 on is that we don't all agree on what is true and so so in other words if there are no setups there
00:01:33
can be no punchlines or or I should say it's very hard to come by a punchline so
00:01:39
I think that the wrong move comedically with with the Trump folks is to say things that the liberal media which they
00:01:49
believe is liberal and and biased and is not giving them the truth about Donald Trump um is uh but they they don't buy
00:01:57
it and so it can't be a setup right so so in other words like if you bring up the lawsuits a lot they'll go well
00:02:05
that's just a hit job the lawsuits are a hit job whatever and which on right however I just think there's a few
00:02:14
vulnerabilities in the Trump Universe which is we all know he inherited $400 million right um we we all saw with our
00:02:23
own eyes that there were Tech glitches in the zoom thing or you know whatever the the Elon thing
00:02:30
and Twitter the X thing and so as much as it as as as K's team can play in the moment with things that we all can see
00:02:40
with our own eyes I think that's going to be winning strategy I think the other thing is we can't like I think you
00:02:46
cannot make fun of Trump's voters because you know you have family who are Trump voters I have they have no
00:02:56
sense of humor is my impression well yeah I mean no no sense of humor is one thing but the other thing is they're
00:03:02
smart my dad's a doctor who has a law degree he's not unintelligent so if you just insult his him over and over again
00:03:11
I you're not going to get anywhere if you look at all the the zingers the famous zingers in history in the debates
00:03:18
it's these really light touches it's like it's like that bush Gore moment where Gore walks too close to Bush Jr
00:03:27
and then and then Bush sort of steps away and you kind of go like I know what he means right that's that's that's a
00:03:34
human moment right or or I don't want to take advantage of my age Reagan was quite good at it yes there you go again
00:03:41
the Reagan line and it's like and and I think as much as comma can be in the moment because she's extraordinarily
00:03:49
funny she's extraordinarily I mean her laugh is infectious I mean it's hilarious that Trump has gone after her
00:03:55
laugh because you go no no you people like when people laugh they do it's endearing she's turned it around
00:04:04
because they they for a while they were sort of pointing to something it was a little out you know it was more it was a
00:04:09
it was a laier laugh than other laughs right but she's turned it they've turned it into something lovely actually which
00:04:15
I think is interesting yeah I think I mean I think they're on the right path I think I think the the key is I think
00:04:22
there's like a famous line about dealing with hecklers which is the best thing you can do with a Heckler is respond on
00:04:29
honestly in the moment and I think she did that did you see her do that it yeah she was good she had the I'm the aunt
00:04:37
who's going to take out the slipper in a second and hit you with it kind of B which I thought was good when you do
00:04:42
these humorous things like JD Vance is obviously we're going to talk about him with a question from the audience but
00:04:47
he's he's been like a comedy go mine correct yeah I mean I don't know what to make of this guy he I like this
00:04:57
book and you know in 2017 or whatever it was and then I don't I don't feel like I'm watching when I when I watch JD
00:05:08
Vance now I don't feel like I'm watching the same person who wrote that book and
00:05:13
so I just I think he has a voice problem I feel like in of uh in other words like
00:05:18
his I don't understand where he's coming from is there a f the funniest member of
00:05:23
this group and and how much is too far I'm just I'll finish up with this but when you're when when she's doing this
00:05:28
it seems to have a very loose sense of humor it's not I mean the weird word has worked beautifully I'd love to get your
00:05:35
sense of why that works it's funny it's actually weird is funny versus deplorables or any other word say
00:05:41
Hillary used and stuff which who wasn't funny I think that I think that Democrats and myself included like there
00:05:51
there's a big there's a big talking point on the right which is that there's Trump derangement syndrome you've heard
00:05:55
this concept and what's funny about it is I think it's it's a good talking point because for them because I think
00:06:05
in 2016 or 15 when he came on the scene it did throw a lot of people off and we were kind of breathless myself included
00:06:14
on Twitter about every last thing he said and I think that the only way to deal with him is with facts and
00:06:24
composure and I think that the Harris campaign is doing a really good job of that so far
