  1. 0:01So, thanks for watching. Thank you for
  2. 0:04joining us.
  3. 0:06I'm glad you're in a
  4. 0:09a positive mood. We are at
  5. 0:13That's very nice.
  6. 0:15Okay, that's enough.
  7. 0:18This is
  8. 0:20Thank you for joining us at the
  9. 0:22beginning of what is sure to be a big
  10. 0:24week for the United States of America.
  11. 0:26And I wish I had better news to start it
  12. 0:28with, but I might as well get this out
  13. 0:29of the way. We learned yesterday, I
  14. 0:32believe, or at least I learned it
  15. 0:33yesterday. Sadly, America's sweethearts
  16. 0:35are no more. 74y old Bill Bich, former
  17. 0:39coach of the New England Patriots, and
  18. 0:41his 25-year-old galpal Jordan Hudson
  19. 0:45are no longer coupled. I know. I
  20. 0:49You know what? Let's take a moment for
  21. 0:51prayer or silent reflection to think
  22. 0:53about
  23. 0:54the good times. You can see uh here they
  24. 0:57are when
  25. 0:59Oh wow. It's there they are enjoying
  26. 1:02each other's bodies on a a surprisingly
  27. 1:06crappy beach. I don't know them, but I
  28. 1:08think more than anything I was in love
  29. 1:10with their love. You know what I mean?
  30. 1:11It's apparently some of the friction in
  31. 1:13their relationship. I don't know this
  32. 1:14for a fact, but I heard it came from the
  33. 1:16fact that every time they went out to
  34. 1:18dinner, the waiter asked, "Would your
  35. 1:19grandpa like to hear about the soup?"
  36. 1:24So sad. I don't know. It's I hate to see
  37. 1:27that happen. You know,
  38. 1:30maybe she'll be our next press
  39. 1:32secretary.
  40. 1:34The president could use one right now.
  41. 1:35You remember that birthday card Trump
  42. 1:37didn't draw for Jeffrey Epstein on his
  43. 1:3950th birthday? This one? Well, Trump
  44. 1:41sued the Wall Street Journal for $10
  45. 1:43billion for claiming he did draw that
  46. 1:46card. On Saturday, a federal judge
  47. 1:49dismissed that suit and praised the
  48. 1:51paper for its reporting. That's how
  49. 1:53crazy this guy is. with the lawsuit.
  50. 2:00He's filed so many lawsuits, judges now
  51. 2:02have to rule on Saturdays.
  52. 2:05He's got a hefty bag full of frivolous
  53. 2:07lawsuits out there trying to protect
  54. 2:09himself against the blue wave which
  55. 2:11seems to be headed his way tomorrow.
  56. 2:12Tomorrow is midterm election day. That's
  57. 2:16right.
  58. 2:17Hopefully, you're registered to vote.
  59. 2:19Hopefully, you will vote by this time
  60. 2:21tomorrow night. We should know nothing.
  61. 2:23probably they say it could take days or
  62. 2:25even weeks to get the results. If the
  63. 2:27pollsters are to be believed,
  64. 2:29Republicans are in trouble and not just
  65. 2:31on paper. This rally for Ken Paxton,
  66. 2:33who's running for Senate in Texas, this
  67. 2:36should tell you all you need to know
  68. 2:37about how things are going for them
  69. 2:38right now.
  70. 2:39>> I have a challenge for you. I want
  71. 2:41everybody stand up. You're able to stand
  72. 2:44up.
  73. 2:46If you have invited five people to go to
  74. 2:50the polls, sit down.
  75. 2:53Just five.
  76. 2:57If you have Oh, wait. Let's do it the
  77. 2:58other way. Stand back up. If you invited
  78. 3:02at least five people, stand up. If you
  79. 3:05have invited at least 10 people, stay
  80. 3:08standing.
  81. 3:11If you have invited at least 20 people,
  82. 3:13stay standing.
  83. 3:17All right.
  84. 3:19Oh, come on. It's Listen,
  85. 3:24listen ladies. If any of those people
  86. 3:26had 20 friends to invite to vote, they
  87. 3:28wouldn't be at a Ken Paxton rally. More
  88. 3:31than 57 million Americans have already
  89. 3:33cast their ballots. Trump made his
  90. 3:35closing argument today.
  91. 3:39He chose to do that in front of his ill-
  92. 3:41fated reflecting pool. And where better
  93. 3:43to reassure the public that they are in
  94. 3:45good hands than in front of a pool
  95. 3:46you've repeatedly botched to the tune of
  96. 3:48$16 million. Donald Trump, the man who
  97. 3:51famously promised to drain the swamp,
  98. 3:53made his last stand at the sight of his
  99. 3:56own man-made swamp, standing
  100. 3:58victoriously in front of this hard one
  101. 4:00pond like the soldiers who triumphed at
  102. 4:03Eoima.
  103. 4:04>> This has been this is a massive piece of
  104. 4:07uh piece of pool. There's never been
  105. 4:11anything like when you look at the side,
  106. 4:14>> right? It is. It is indeed a massive
  107. 4:17piece of pool when you look at the sign.
  108. 4:21I don't know. Maybe they'll give him the
  109. 4:22Nobel Piece of pool prize. It's
  110. 4:25He spoke for um about an hour
  111. 4:30in front of the the Lincoln reflecting
  112. 4:33pool. Many are calling it his Pettisburg
  113. 4:35address. He blamed Joe Biden and Obama
  114. 4:38for everything that happened to the pool
  115. 4:40before he was there. He said he's giving
  116. 4:42serious thought to renaming the pool
  117. 4:44after himself, which that's a nice idea.
  118. 4:46He ranted about Bermuda grass and top
  119. 4:49soil and his construction projects and
  120. 4:52the ballroom, James Comey, rusty pipes.
  121. 4:54He had visual aids, and then he stripped
  122. 4:57down to his diapers and did a pretty
  123. 4:58impressive cannonball right in the
  124. 5:00shallow end of the thing. Somehow, the
  125. 5:03Energizer dummy managed to blabber his
  126. 5:05way through 30 rallies over the past 32
  127. 5:08days. And with the campaign for control
  128. 5:10of Congress at the 2y line, Trump is
  129. 5:13laser focused on the issues that matter
  130. 5:15most.
  131. 5:16>> They attacked a place called Mara Lago.
  132. 5:19Nobody brought it up. And you know, I'm
  133. 5:21sitting I'm watching. They're good
  134. 5:22people. And is that a helicopter? Oh,
  135. 5:26you
  136. 5:28do you want to see a nice helicopter?
  137. 5:31How do you like the helipad?
  138. 5:34>> See, that's that's landing right now.
  139. 5:36I'm going to have a helicopter.
  140. 5:39Are
  141. 5:43are we 100% sure he isn't a
  142. 5:45four-year-old in a fat suit? That is
  143. 5:48what my nephew is into. Helicopters and
  144. 5:50garbage trucks. Trump was in both
  145. 5:53Florida and Iowa over the weekend using
  146. 5:55his gift for oration and storytelling to
  147. 5:58do battle against the Democrats.
  148. 6:00>> What's going to happen if the Democrats
  149. 6:02or as I call them now Democrats? They
  150. 6:04are dumb people. You know why? because
  151. 6:06their their policies are dumb. You
  152. 6:09simply replace the E with a U and nobody
  153. 6:14knows they're dumb as a B.
  154. 6:17You know what?
  155. 6:19He's a terrible president, but as a
  156. 6:21comedian, I have to respect his
  157. 6:22commitment to that bit. It's it's he's
  158. 6:25he's
  159. 6:28sticking with it. I respect his
  160. 6:31commitment to that bit and to this one,
  161. 6:33too.
  162. 6:33>> Think of it. Your beautiful
  163. 6:36son leaves the house. His name is Tim.
  164. 6:40Goodbye, Tim. I'll see you. Thank you,
  165. 6:42Mommy. Thank you. And you don't see Tim
  166. 6:44for four days. Four days later, Tim
  167. 6:48comes back as Sally.
  168. 6:52Four days. That's how long it takes.
  169. 6:54It's a four day. It's one day to do the
  170. 6:56operation, three days to legally change
  171. 6:59the name. Now, if they change it, if
  172. 7:00it's an easy change from like Sully to
  173. 7:02Sally, that only takes a day. You start
  174. 7:06with Tim, it's 4 days. Say what you like
  175. 7:08about the man. He really has a way with
  176. 7:10names. I have a lot of flag polls. I
  177. 7:12have them all over my place. But I have
  178. 7:14a guy, I call him flag pole gym. His
  179. 7:19whole life, that's all he does. Believe
  180. 7:23me, when you order a flag pole, there
  181. 7:25are good flag polls and there are bad
  182. 7:28flag polls. There are ugly flag poles.
  183. 7:30You know, flag pole gym, if you ask him
  184. 7:32to cross the street, please. He couldn't
  185. 7:34do that. But for flag polls, he's great.
  186. 7:36I Everybody loves it. Who the hell's not
  187. 7:38going to like a flag pole?
  188. 7:41I I say I
  189. 7:45I would I would bet $40,000 Flagpole
  190. 7:50Jim's name isn't even Jim.
  191. 7:53Flagpole Jim. He can't even cross the
  192. 7:55street. He's an idiot.
  193. 7:57But he's magic with a flag pole. They
  194. 8:00sent flag pole Jim to school. Four days
  195. 8:02later, he came back flag pole Jennifer.
  196. 8:04It's a disgrace.
  197. 8:07Now, one of the
  198. 8:10one of the races Republicans are most
  199. 8:13worried about is in Kansas, a state that
  200. 8:15could very well send their first
  201. 8:17Democrat to the Senate since 1932.
  202. 8:20And so, Trump posted this over the
  203. 8:23weekend. He wrote, "I've just been
  204. 8:24informed by the great attorney general
  205. 8:26of Kansas that a radical left pack
  206. 8:28operative was caught on camera going
  207. 8:30doortodoor in Witchah offering gift
  208. 8:32cards to people for votes. We have
  209. 8:34photographic evidence this is a criminal
  210. 8:37offense." Which is interesting because
  211. 8:39if that is true, I would like to report
  212. 8:41another criminal offense.
  213. 8:43>> So if the Republicans win, you will each
  214. 8:45have $5,000 in your pocket.
  215. 8:51Now,
  216. 8:53of course,
  217. 8:55the key difference between the $5,000
  218. 8:57check and the gift cards is the gift
  219. 8:59cards are real. They will actually get
  220. 9:01the gift card. And by the way, as long
  221. 9:02as you're looking into gift cards, the
  222. 9:04wife of Michigan Senate hopeful Mike
  223. 9:06Rogers might have some explaining to do.
  224. 9:09>> You should me
  225. 9:12$10 gift cards.
  226. 9:13>> Well, I'm sure the DOJ will be digging
  227. 9:16into that one bigly. That this is what
  228. 9:18it's come to. Remember at school there'd
  229. 9:19be a kid running for class president
  230. 9:21who'd promise like no homework and that
  231. 9:24the water fountain would be filled with
  232. 9:25chocolate milk.
  233. 9:27How is that different from this?
  234. 9:29>> I'm going to give all adult citizens in
  235. 9:32the United States of America $5,000.
  236. 9:36>> Sorry kids. Enjoy those little packs of
  237. 9:38Skittles you got on Halloween. The five
  238. 9:40grand is for adult citizens only.
  239. 9:43You know, last week Trump, you probably
  240. 9:45know, went after a reporter who asked a
  241. 9:47question he didn't like. He told him to
  242. 9:49put himself in shape and that he looked
  243. 9:51like hell. It was embarrassing. It was
  244. 9:53an ugly moment. And you would think he'd
  245. 9:55want to move past that, especially given
  246. 9:57his own body type, but you would be
  247. 10:00incorrect to think that. Instead, he
  248. 10:02went on his dumb website and he did it
  249. 10:04again. He wrote, "Ruters, one of the
  250. 10:06worst reporter. Put yourself in shape.
  251. 10:08You look like hell."
  252. 10:10Okay, first of all, no one says, "Put
  253. 10:13yourself in shape." Okay, it's that's
  254. 10:16not that sounds like something Melania
  255. 10:18yells at him when he eats French fries.
  256. 10:23PUT YOURSELF IN SHAPE. And also,
  257. 10:27that person you're looking at right
  258. 10:29there should not be telling anyone else
  259. 10:32to put themselves in shape. I think
  260. 10:34maybe I mean there's so many craziest
  261. 10:36things about I think maybe the craziest
  262. 10:38thing about Donald Trump is he thinks
  263. 10:40he's hot. He does. Our uh pumpkin spice
  264. 10:44ways a latte president hosted a lavish
  265. 10:47Halloween party at Mara Lago on Saturday
  266. 10:49night. Everyone invited was rich, but
  267. 10:51only one person was not in costume.
  268. 10:54>> These people spend a lot of time and
  269. 10:56money. Rich people, they'll spend nine
  270. 10:59hours getting ready. I had 10 minutes.
  271. 11:02So, I came as Donald Trump tonight.
  272. 11:05>> And the truth is, it's a good pro. It
  273. 11:07makes sense that the president wouldn't
  274. 11:08dress up for Halloween, but how good
  275. 11:10would it have been if he'd shown up in
  276. 11:12the most incredible like Deadpool
  277. 11:13costume you've ever seen?
  278. 11:16Another missed opportunity. Now, the
  279. 11:18theme of the party was the jungle. And
  280. 11:20to make it realistic, they brought in a
  281. 11:23zebra
  282. 11:25and a pony.
  283. 11:28Cuz you know the jungle is it's crawling
  284. 11:30with zebras and ponies. It's it's a
  285. 11:34jungle pony. It's not a regular pony.
  286. 11:36It's a special What a party this was,
  287. 11:39man. It was like eyes wide shut for
  288. 11:43people you'd have to keep your eyes shut
  289. 11:44to have sex with. It's Look at this
  290. 11:46group. Everyone's dressed as
  291. 11:48osteoporosis.
  292. 11:50It's the compression sock capital of the
  293. 11:53world. Melania went uh dressed as the
  294. 11:56invisible woman. She didn't show up. Her
  295. 11:59prenup does not require non- campaign
  296. 12:02related Halloween appearances. JD Vance
  297. 12:04didn't go to the party. He was at home
  298. 12:06in Washington. His family had a Harry
  299. 12:08Potter theme and you can see he dressed
  300. 12:11as Dumbledor. It's he got a lot of flack
  301. 12:15online for this because Dumbledore is
  302. 12:17gay and that's not allowed in MAGA Land.
  303. 12:20So afterwards, JD released a statement
  304. 12:22clarifying that the only boys he's into
  305. 12:25are lazy boys and
  306. 12:29It's
  307. 12:33you get it right, GMO.
  308. 12:36GMO, explain to those who haven't been
  309. 12:38following along.
  310. 12:39>> No, no, go ahead. You keep going.
  311. 12:43You know, it's always fun to see which
  312. 12:47which um
  313. 12:52I love seeing which famous people get
  314. 12:54hammered for their costumes the day
  315. 12:56after. Martha Stewart, for whatever
  316. 12:58reason, dressed like a homeless person.
  317. 13:01I am hungry. Help me. That's how bad
  318. 13:03Trump's economy is. Even Martha Stewart
  319. 13:06is homeless. The costume was actually
  320. 13:08only the second most ridiculous part of
  321. 13:10the post. Um, zoom in on the caption. It
  322. 13:12says, "My QVC candles are perfect for
  323. 13:14Halloween." Now, how does this happen?
  324. 13:17How does this woman wind up in that
  325. 13:19costume being photographed and posted?
  326. 13:22This is how you know your assistant
  327. 13:23hates you. Martha then claimed she was
  328. 13:26trying to raise awareness of
  329. 13:27homelessness, which is strike two.
  330. 13:30Here's a good general rule of thumb.
  331. 13:32Okay, don't use your Halloween costume
  332. 13:34to raise awareness of anything other
  333. 13:36than Halloween, especially when you
  334. 13:37complete the look with a boyfriend
  335. 13:39sweater from the row. Okay, yesterday
  336. 13:41was one of the uh for me one of the best
  337. 13:44days of the year, the end of daylight
  338. 13:46saving time. I woke up well before my
  339. 13:48alarm clock this morning. I felt like a
  340. 13:50Viking. And that other than my
  341. 13:52microwave, which can't seem to get its
  342. 13:54act together, I barely had to reset any
  343. 13:56of my clocks. They all We live in a
  344. 13:58digital age, uh, an age in which young
  345. 14:00people don't ever have to learn how to
  346. 14:02read a clock. And I know it sounds like
  347. 14:05old people talking, but it's true. They
  348. 14:07don't. And to prove it, we sent a team
  349. 14:09out to Hollywood Boulevard to ask
  350. 14:11members of generations Y through Z a
  351. 14:14simple question. That question is, can
  352. 14:16you set a clock?
  353. 14:17>> Have you ever seen a clock like this
  354. 14:19before?
  355. 14:20>> Yeah. Where have you seen it?
  356. 14:21>> A clock store.
  357. 14:22>> Clock store.
  358. 14:24>> What kind of people do you think still
  359. 14:26use these clocks?
  360. 14:27>> Probably ones are more of a brain. You
  361. 14:29know, probably some people that are a
  362. 14:31little more capable. Um, you know,
  363. 14:35>> what time does this clock say?
  364. 14:37>> 12:54.
  365. 14:41>> Can you set this clock for me?
  366. 14:43>> I'm not going to lie, I'm not good with
  367. 14:45my time table.
  368. 14:46>> Okay. With your time table? That
  369. 14:48shouldn't come up.
  370. 14:51>> What time does it say right now?
  371. 14:52>> Yeah, like now it's like 4:30.
  372. 14:54>> That's 4:30.
  373. 14:55>> Yeah.
  374. 14:56>> Well, how did you get there?
  375. 14:58>> I got there cuz I looked at the three
  376. 14:59and the 10.
