- 0:01So, thanks for watching. Thank you for
- 0:04joining us.
- 0:06I'm glad you're in a
- 0:09a positive mood. We are at
- 0:13That's very nice.
- 0:15Okay, that's enough.
- 0:18This is
- 0:20Thank you for joining us at the
- 0:22beginning of what is sure to be a big
- 0:24week for the United States of America.
- 0:26And I wish I had better news to start it
- 0:28with, but I might as well get this out
- 0:29of the way. We learned yesterday, I
- 0:32believe, or at least I learned it
- 0:33yesterday. Sadly, America's sweethearts
- 0:35are no more. 74y old Bill Bich, former
- 0:39coach of the New England Patriots, and
- 0:41his 25-year-old galpal Jordan Hudson
- 0:45are no longer coupled. I know. I
- 0:49You know what? Let's take a moment for
- 0:51prayer or silent reflection to think
- 0:53about
- 0:54the good times. You can see uh here they
- 0:57are when
- 0:59Oh wow. It's there they are enjoying
- 1:02each other's bodies on a a surprisingly
- 1:06crappy beach. I don't know them, but I
- 1:08think more than anything I was in love
- 1:10with their love. You know what I mean?
- 1:11It's apparently some of the friction in
- 1:13their relationship. I don't know this
- 1:14for a fact, but I heard it came from the
- 1:16fact that every time they went out to
- 1:18dinner, the waiter asked, "Would your
- 1:19grandpa like to hear about the soup?"
- 1:24So sad. I don't know. It's I hate to see
- 1:27that happen. You know,
- 1:30maybe she'll be our next press
- 1:32secretary.
- 1:34The president could use one right now.
- 1:35You remember that birthday card Trump
- 1:37didn't draw for Jeffrey Epstein on his
- 1:3950th birthday? This one? Well, Trump
- 1:41sued the Wall Street Journal for $10
- 1:43billion for claiming he did draw that
- 1:46card. On Saturday, a federal judge
- 1:49dismissed that suit and praised the
- 1:51paper for its reporting. That's how
- 1:53crazy this guy is. with the lawsuit.
- 2:00He's filed so many lawsuits, judges now
- 2:02have to rule on Saturdays.
- 2:05He's got a hefty bag full of frivolous
- 2:07lawsuits out there trying to protect
- 2:09himself against the blue wave which
- 2:11seems to be headed his way tomorrow.
- 2:12Tomorrow is midterm election day. That's
- 2:16right.
- 2:17Hopefully, you're registered to vote.
- 2:19Hopefully, you will vote by this time
- 2:21tomorrow night. We should know nothing.
- 2:23probably they say it could take days or
- 2:25even weeks to get the results. If the
- 2:27pollsters are to be believed,
- 2:29Republicans are in trouble and not just
- 2:31on paper. This rally for Ken Paxton,
- 2:33who's running for Senate in Texas, this
- 2:36should tell you all you need to know
- 2:37about how things are going for them
- 2:38right now.
- 2:39>> I have a challenge for you. I want
- 2:41everybody stand up. You're able to stand
- 2:44up.
- 2:46If you have invited five people to go to
- 2:50the polls, sit down.
- 2:53Just five.
- 2:57If you have Oh, wait. Let's do it the
- 2:58other way. Stand back up. If you invited
- 3:02at least five people, stand up. If you
- 3:05have invited at least 10 people, stay
- 3:08standing.
- 3:11If you have invited at least 20 people,
- 3:13stay standing.
- 3:17All right.
- 3:19Oh, come on. It's Listen,
- 3:24listen ladies. If any of those people
- 3:26had 20 friends to invite to vote, they
- 3:28wouldn't be at a Ken Paxton rally. More
- 3:31than 57 million Americans have already
- 3:33cast their ballots. Trump made his
- 3:35closing argument today.
- 3:39He chose to do that in front of his ill-
- 3:41fated reflecting pool. And where better
- 3:43to reassure the public that they are in
- 3:45good hands than in front of a pool
- 3:46you've repeatedly botched to the tune of
- 3:48$16 million. Donald Trump, the man who
- 3:51famously promised to drain the swamp,
- 3:53made his last stand at the sight of his
- 3:56own man-made swamp, standing
- 3:58victoriously in front of this hard one
- 4:00pond like the soldiers who triumphed at
- 4:03Eoima.
- 4:04>> This has been this is a massive piece of
- 4:07uh piece of pool. There's never been
- 4:11anything like when you look at the side,
- 4:14>> right? It is. It is indeed a massive
- 4:17piece of pool when you look at the sign.
- 4:21I don't know. Maybe they'll give him the
- 4:22Nobel Piece of pool prize. It's
- 4:25He spoke for um about an hour
- 4:30in front of the the Lincoln reflecting
- 4:33pool. Many are calling it his Pettisburg
- 4:35address. He blamed Joe Biden and Obama
- 4:38for everything that happened to the pool
- 4:40before he was there. He said he's giving
- 4:42serious thought to renaming the pool
- 4:44after himself, which that's a nice idea.
- 4:46He ranted about Bermuda grass and top
- 4:49soil and his construction projects and
- 4:52the ballroom, James Comey, rusty pipes.
- 4:54He had visual aids, and then he stripped
- 4:57down to his diapers and did a pretty
- 4:58impressive cannonball right in the
- 5:00shallow end of the thing. Somehow, the
- 5:03Energizer dummy managed to blabber his
- 5:05way through 30 rallies over the past 32
- 5:08days. And with the campaign for control
- 5:10of Congress at the 2y line, Trump is
- 5:13laser focused on the issues that matter
- 5:15most.
- 5:16>> They attacked a place called Mara Lago.
- 5:19Nobody brought it up. And you know, I'm
- 5:21sitting I'm watching. They're good
- 5:22people. And is that a helicopter? Oh,
- 5:26you
- 5:28do you want to see a nice helicopter?
- 5:31How do you like the helipad?
- 5:34>> See, that's that's landing right now.
- 5:36I'm going to have a helicopter.
- 5:39Are
- 5:43are we 100% sure he isn't a
- 5:45four-year-old in a fat suit? That is
- 5:48what my nephew is into. Helicopters and
- 5:50garbage trucks. Trump was in both
- 5:53Florida and Iowa over the weekend using
- 5:55his gift for oration and storytelling to
- 5:58do battle against the Democrats.
- 6:00>> What's going to happen if the Democrats
- 6:02or as I call them now Democrats? They
- 6:04are dumb people. You know why? because
- 6:06their their policies are dumb. You
- 6:09simply replace the E with a U and nobody
- 6:14knows they're dumb as a B.
- 6:17You know what?
- 6:19He's a terrible president, but as a
- 6:21comedian, I have to respect his
- 6:22commitment to that bit. It's it's he's
- 6:25he's
- 6:28sticking with it. I respect his
- 6:31commitment to that bit and to this one,
- 6:33too.
- 6:33>> Think of it. Your beautiful
- 6:36son leaves the house. His name is Tim.
- 6:40Goodbye, Tim. I'll see you. Thank you,
- 6:42Mommy. Thank you. And you don't see Tim
- 6:44for four days. Four days later, Tim
- 6:48comes back as Sally.
- 6:52Four days. That's how long it takes.
- 6:54It's a four day. It's one day to do the
- 6:56operation, three days to legally change
- 6:59the name. Now, if they change it, if
- 7:00it's an easy change from like Sully to
- 7:02Sally, that only takes a day. You start
- 7:06with Tim, it's 4 days. Say what you like
- 7:08about the man. He really has a way with
- 7:10names. I have a lot of flag polls. I
- 7:12have them all over my place. But I have
- 7:14a guy, I call him flag pole gym. His
- 7:19whole life, that's all he does. Believe
- 7:23me, when you order a flag pole, there
- 7:25are good flag polls and there are bad
- 7:28flag polls. There are ugly flag poles.
- 7:30You know, flag pole gym, if you ask him
- 7:32to cross the street, please. He couldn't
- 7:34do that. But for flag polls, he's great.
- 7:36I Everybody loves it. Who the hell's not
- 7:38going to like a flag pole?
- 7:41I I say I
- 7:45I would I would bet $40,000 Flagpole
- 7:50Jim's name isn't even Jim.
- 7:53Flagpole Jim. He can't even cross the
- 7:55street. He's an idiot.
- 7:57But he's magic with a flag pole. They
- 8:00sent flag pole Jim to school. Four days
- 8:02later, he came back flag pole Jennifer.
- 8:04It's a disgrace.
- 8:07Now, one of the
- 8:10one of the races Republicans are most
- 8:13worried about is in Kansas, a state that
- 8:15could very well send their first
- 8:17Democrat to the Senate since 1932.
- 8:20And so, Trump posted this over the
- 8:23weekend. He wrote, "I've just been
- 8:24informed by the great attorney general
- 8:26of Kansas that a radical left pack
- 8:28operative was caught on camera going
- 8:30doortodoor in Witchah offering gift
- 8:32cards to people for votes. We have
- 8:34photographic evidence this is a criminal
- 8:37offense." Which is interesting because
- 8:39if that is true, I would like to report
- 8:41another criminal offense.
- 8:43>> So if the Republicans win, you will each
- 8:45have $5,000 in your pocket.
- 8:51Now,
- 8:53of course,
- 8:55the key difference between the $5,000
- 8:57check and the gift cards is the gift
- 8:59cards are real. They will actually get
- 9:01the gift card. And by the way, as long
- 9:02as you're looking into gift cards, the
- 9:04wife of Michigan Senate hopeful Mike
- 9:06Rogers might have some explaining to do.
- 9:09>> You should me
- 9:12$10 gift cards.
- 9:13>> Well, I'm sure the DOJ will be digging
- 9:16into that one bigly. That this is what
- 9:18it's come to. Remember at school there'd
- 9:19be a kid running for class president
- 9:21who'd promise like no homework and that
- 9:24the water fountain would be filled with
- 9:25chocolate milk.
- 9:27How is that different from this?
- 9:29>> I'm going to give all adult citizens in
- 9:32the United States of America $5,000.
- 9:36>> Sorry kids. Enjoy those little packs of
- 9:38Skittles you got on Halloween. The five
- 9:40grand is for adult citizens only.
- 9:43You know, last week Trump, you probably
- 9:45know, went after a reporter who asked a
- 9:47question he didn't like. He told him to
- 9:49put himself in shape and that he looked
- 9:51like hell. It was embarrassing. It was
- 9:53an ugly moment. And you would think he'd
- 9:55want to move past that, especially given
- 9:57his own body type, but you would be
- 10:00incorrect to think that. Instead, he
- 10:02went on his dumb website and he did it
- 10:04again. He wrote, "Ruters, one of the
- 10:06worst reporter. Put yourself in shape.
- 10:08You look like hell."
- 10:10Okay, first of all, no one says, "Put
- 10:13yourself in shape." Okay, it's that's
- 10:16not that sounds like something Melania
- 10:18yells at him when he eats French fries.
- 10:23PUT YOURSELF IN SHAPE. And also,
- 10:27that person you're looking at right
- 10:29there should not be telling anyone else
- 10:32to put themselves in shape. I think
- 10:34maybe I mean there's so many craziest
- 10:36things about I think maybe the craziest
- 10:38thing about Donald Trump is he thinks
- 10:40he's hot. He does. Our uh pumpkin spice
- 10:44ways a latte president hosted a lavish
- 10:47Halloween party at Mara Lago on Saturday
- 10:49night. Everyone invited was rich, but
- 10:51only one person was not in costume.
- 10:54>> These people spend a lot of time and
- 10:56money. Rich people, they'll spend nine
- 10:59hours getting ready. I had 10 minutes.
- 11:02So, I came as Donald Trump tonight.
- 11:05>> And the truth is, it's a good pro. It
- 11:07makes sense that the president wouldn't
- 11:08dress up for Halloween, but how good
- 11:10would it have been if he'd shown up in
- 11:12the most incredible like Deadpool
- 11:13costume you've ever seen?
- 11:16Another missed opportunity. Now, the
- 11:18theme of the party was the jungle. And
- 11:20to make it realistic, they brought in a
- 11:23zebra
- 11:25and a pony.
- 11:28Cuz you know the jungle is it's crawling
- 11:30with zebras and ponies. It's it's a
- 11:34jungle pony. It's not a regular pony.
- 11:36It's a special What a party this was,
- 11:39man. It was like eyes wide shut for
- 11:43people you'd have to keep your eyes shut
- 11:44to have sex with. It's Look at this
- 11:46group. Everyone's dressed as
- 11:48osteoporosis.
- 11:50It's the compression sock capital of the
- 11:53world. Melania went uh dressed as the
- 11:56invisible woman. She didn't show up. Her
- 11:59prenup does not require non- campaign
- 12:02related Halloween appearances. JD Vance
- 12:04didn't go to the party. He was at home
- 12:06in Washington. His family had a Harry
- 12:08Potter theme and you can see he dressed
- 12:11as Dumbledor. It's he got a lot of flack
- 12:15online for this because Dumbledore is
- 12:17gay and that's not allowed in MAGA Land.
- 12:20So afterwards, JD released a statement
- 12:22clarifying that the only boys he's into
- 12:25are lazy boys and
- 12:29It's
- 12:33you get it right, GMO.
- 12:36GMO, explain to those who haven't been
- 12:38following along.
- 12:39>> No, no, go ahead. You keep going.
- 12:43You know, it's always fun to see which
- 12:47which um
- 12:52I love seeing which famous people get
- 12:54hammered for their costumes the day
- 12:56after. Martha Stewart, for whatever
- 12:58reason, dressed like a homeless person.
- 13:01I am hungry. Help me. That's how bad
- 13:03Trump's economy is. Even Martha Stewart
- 13:06is homeless. The costume was actually
- 13:08only the second most ridiculous part of
- 13:10the post. Um, zoom in on the caption. It
- 13:12says, "My QVC candles are perfect for
- 13:14Halloween." Now, how does this happen?
- 13:17How does this woman wind up in that
- 13:19costume being photographed and posted?
- 13:22This is how you know your assistant
- 13:23hates you. Martha then claimed she was
- 13:26trying to raise awareness of
- 13:27homelessness, which is strike two.
- 13:30Here's a good general rule of thumb.
- 13:32Okay, don't use your Halloween costume
- 13:34to raise awareness of anything other
- 13:36than Halloween, especially when you
- 13:37complete the look with a boyfriend
- 13:39sweater from the row. Okay, yesterday
- 13:41was one of the uh for me one of the best
- 13:44days of the year, the end of daylight
- 13:46saving time. I woke up well before my
- 13:48alarm clock this morning. I felt like a
- 13:50Viking. And that other than my
- 13:52microwave, which can't seem to get its
- 13:54act together, I barely had to reset any
- 13:56of my clocks. They all We live in a
- 13:58digital age, uh, an age in which young
- 14:00people don't ever have to learn how to
- 14:02read a clock. And I know it sounds like
- 14:05old people talking, but it's true. They
- 14:07don't. And to prove it, we sent a team
- 14:09out to Hollywood Boulevard to ask
- 14:11members of generations Y through Z a
- 14:14simple question. That question is, can
- 14:16you set a clock?
- 14:17>> Have you ever seen a clock like this
- 14:19before?
- 14:20>> Yeah. Where have you seen it?
- 14:21>> A clock store.
- 14:22>> Clock store.
- 14:24>> What kind of people do you think still
- 14:26use these clocks?
- 14:27>> Probably ones are more of a brain. You
- 14:29know, probably some people that are a
- 14:31little more capable. Um, you know,
- 14:35>> what time does this clock say?
- 14:37>> 12:54.
- 14:41>> Can you set this clock for me?
- 14:43>> I'm not going to lie, I'm not good with
- 14:45my time table.
- 14:46>> Okay. With your time table? That
- 14:48shouldn't come up.
- 14:51>> What time does it say right now?
- 14:52>> Yeah, like now it's like 4:30.
- 14:54>> That's 4:30.
- 14:55>> Yeah.
- 14:56>> Well, how did you get there?
- 14:58>> I got there cuz I looked at the three
- 14:59and the 10.
- 15:00>> Okay.
- 15:00>> And like I figured cuz if you put the
- 15:02three over here, if you put this the
- 15:04small one at the 12, it would make it
- 15:053:00.
- 15:06>> Okay. So then you said it was 4
- 15:09>> 4:30.
- 15:10>> 4:30. Set it to 353.
- 15:14>> 3.
- 15:17>> Great job. Is that AM or PM?
- 15:20>> Well, yeah, but if Oh,
- 15:27>> how do you know whether or not this is
- 15:28AM or PM right now? How do you set it
- 15:30then from the difference or is it just
- 15:32going to maybe you just go into the
- 15:33future from wherever you're at?
- 15:35>> Oh, I hear ticks though when I do that.
- 15:39>> Can I ask you a question?
- 15:40>> Yeah.
- 15:40>> Are you high?
- 15:41>> Oh, yes.
- 15:42>> Can you set this clock for me?
- 15:44>> Yeah. Can you set it to 1010?
- 15:49>> It's okay.
- 15:50>> What are you What are you doing there?
- 15:51>> 10 10
- 15:52>> 10?
- 15:53>> Yeah.
- 15:54>> No, that's not 1010.
- 15:56>> It's 1010 for me because I'm French.
- 16:00>> Do you know how to tell time on one of
- 16:02those really old looking clocks? The one
- 16:04that looks like Mickey Mouse. You know,
- 16:06with the two ears at the top and the
- 16:08legs at the bottom,
- 16:10>> right? Yeah. Twin Bell alarm clock.
- 16:12>> Twin bell alarm clock. This is what it
- 16:14is.
- 16:15>> Uh-huh. Right.
- 16:16>> And what time is it?
- 16:17>> Okay. Wait, chat. Can you sh Can you
- 16:19send me a picture of of how to tell time
- 16:21on this clock? Oh. Oh,
- 16:25wait a minute. I'm I'm like I'm like
- 16:28Doctor Strange.
- 16:31>> And you just set it to 8 16.
- 16:34>> I don't know how to do this game.
- 16:37There's no Where does the 16 go? I don't
- 16:40know how TO SET A CLOCK. I GUESS I
- 16:41DIDN'T KNOW THAT I DIDN'T KNOW how to
- 16:42set a clock until now.

- 16:46>> Yeah, I can do that. Okay.
- 16:50That's for
- 16:54Why is he doing that? Does that mean I
- 16:56GOT IT? YAY! I GOT IT.
