00:00:00
the United Auto Workers Union is filing
00:00:02
charges against former president Donald
00:00:03
Trump and Elon Musk after their
00:00:05
conversation on X during the chat Trump
00:00:07
praised musk for his anti-union stances
00:00:10
calling him the cutter I don't know how
00:00:12
he came up with that well Trump and Ela
00:00:14
boasted the conversation reach quote a
00:00:15
billion users X is not disclos any
00:00:17
monetary information or advise
00:00:19
surrounding the arrangement with the
00:00:20
Trump campaign I mean the ex's space
00:00:22
started out about 45 minutes lat for
00:00:24
people don't know due to technical
00:00:25
difficulties which musk blamed on an
00:00:27
attack the Harris campaign wasted no
00:00:29
time in making fun of the situation
00:00:31
putting out a statement saying Trump's
00:00:33
entire campaign is in the service of
00:00:34
people like Elon Musk and himself
00:00:36
self-obsessed Rich guys who will sell
00:00:38
out the middle class and who cannot run
00:00:39
a live stream in the year
00:00:41
2024 um also The Campaign which is doing
00:00:44
really well has put out a statement I
00:00:46
don't know who's doing their social
00:00:47
media saying it's been zero days since
00:00:49
JD Vance insulted women across the
00:00:53
country so talk about the the Harris
00:00:56
campaign is funny they're funny what do
00:00:58
you think about their humor does it land
00:01:01
I I think it's no I think it's it's
00:01:02
riding the right line tell me how so I I
00:01:07
think in comedy it typically a joke has
00:01:10
a setup and a punchline and and a setup
00:01:13
is something that we all agree to be
00:01:15
true and the punchline is a left turn
00:01:18
that we don't see coming and I think the
00:01:21
problem with political comedy in
00:01:23
everything year 2016 on is that we don't
00:01:27
all agree on what is true and so so in
00:01:31
other words if there are no setups there
00:01:33
can be no punchlines or or I should say
00:01:36
it's very hard to come by a punchline so
00:01:39
I think that the wrong move comedically
00:01:42
with with the Trump folks is to say
00:01:46
things that the liberal media which they
00:01:49
believe is liberal and and biased and is
00:01:51
not giving them the truth about Donald
00:01:53
Trump um is uh but they they don't buy
00:01:57
it and so it can't be a setup right so
00:02:01
so in other words like if you bring up
00:02:02
the lawsuits a lot they'll go well
00:02:05
that's just a hit job the lawsuits are a
00:02:07
hit job whatever and which on right
00:02:12
however I just think there's a few
00:02:14
vulnerabilities in the Trump Universe
00:02:16
which is we all know he inherited $400
00:02:19
million right um we we all saw with our
00:02:23
own eyes that there were Tech glitches
00:02:26
in the zoom thing or you know whatever
00:02:29
the the Elon thing
00:02:30
and Twitter the X thing and so as much
00:02:33
as it as as as K's team can play in the
00:02:37
moment with things that we all can see
00:02:40
with our own eyes I think that's going
00:02:42
to be winning strategy I think the other
00:02:44
thing is we can't like I think you
00:02:46
cannot make fun of Trump's
00:02:50
voters because you know you have family
00:02:54
who are Trump voters I have they have no
00:02:56
sense of humor is my impression well
00:02:58
yeah I mean no no sense of humor is one
00:03:00
thing but the other thing is they're
00:03:02
smart my dad's a doctor who has a law
00:03:04
degree he's not unintelligent so if you
00:03:07
just insult his him over and over again
00:03:11
I you're not going to get anywhere if
00:03:13
you look at all the the zingers the
00:03:15
famous zingers in history in the debates
00:03:18
it's these really light touches it's
00:03:21
like it's like that bush Gore moment
00:03:23
where Gore walks too close to Bush Jr
00:03:27
and then and then Bush sort of steps
00:03:28
away and you kind of go like I know what
00:03:31
he means right that's that's that's a
00:03:34
human moment right or or I don't want to
00:03:36
take advantage of my age Reagan was
00:03:38
quite good at it yes there you go again
00:03:41
the Reagan line and it's like and and I
00:03:44
think as much as comma can be in the
00:03:47
moment because she's extraordinarily
00:03:49
funny she's extraordinarily I mean her
00:03:52
laugh is infectious I mean it's
00:03:54
hilarious that Trump has gone after her
00:03:55
laugh because you go no no you
00:03:58
people like when people laugh they do
00:04:01
it's endearing she's turned it around
00:04:04
because they they for a while they were
00:04:06
sort of pointing to something it was a
00:04:07
little out you know it was more it was a
00:04:09
it was a laier laugh than other laughs
00:04:11
right but she's turned it they've turned
00:04:13
it into something lovely actually which
00:04:15
I think is interesting yeah I think I
00:04:17
mean I think they're on the right path I
00:04:19
think I think the the key is I think
00:04:22
there's like a famous line about dealing
00:04:23
with hecklers which is the best thing
00:04:26
you can do with a Heckler is respond on
00:04:29
honestly in the moment and I think she
00:04:32
did that did you see her do that it yeah
00:04:34
she was good she had the I'm the aunt
00:04:37
who's going to take out the slipper in a
00:04:38
second and hit you with it kind of B
00:04:41
which I thought was good when you do
00:04:42
these humorous things like JD Vance is
00:04:44
obviously we're going to talk about him
00:04:46
with a question from the audience but
00:04:47
he's he's been like a comedy go mine
00:04:50
correct yeah I mean I don't know what to
00:04:53
make of this guy he I like this
00:04:57
book and you know in 2017 or whatever it
00:05:01
was and then I don't I don't feel like
00:05:05
I'm watching when I when I watch JD
00:05:08
Vance now I don't feel like I'm watching
00:05:10
the same person who wrote that book and
00:05:13
so I just I think he has a voice problem
00:05:15
I feel like in of uh in other words like
00:05:18
his I don't understand where he's coming
00:05:20
from is there a f the funniest member of
00:05:23
this group and and how much is too far
00:05:25
I'm just I'll finish up with this but
00:05:26
when you're when when she's doing this
00:05:28
it seems to have a very loose sense of
00:05:30
humor it's not I mean the weird word has
00:05:33
worked beautifully I'd love to get your
00:05:35
sense of why that works it's funny it's
00:05:37
actually weird is funny versus
00:05:39
deplorables or any other word say
00:05:41
Hillary used and stuff which who wasn't
00:05:44
funny I think that I think that
00:05:47
Democrats and myself included like there
00:05:51
there's a big there's a big talking
00:05:52
point on the right which is that there's
00:05:53
Trump derangement syndrome you've heard
00:05:55
this concept and what's funny about it
00:05:58
is I think it's it's a good talking
00:06:00
point because for them because I think
00:06:05
in 2016 or 15 when he came on the scene
00:06:08
it did throw a lot of people off and we
00:06:11
were kind of breathless myself included
00:06:14
on Twitter about every last thing he
00:06:17
said and I think that the only way to
00:06:21
deal with him is with facts and
00:06:24
composure and I think that the Harris
00:06:26
campaign is doing a really good job of
00:06:28
that so far
