Latest / Breaking Absurdity — Today's Top Headlines That Can't Be Unheard. Brought to you by @ItsNotSatire. / Jack Smith Triumphed At Senate + More "Leaked" Audio of Melania and Donald Trump
Transcript
- 0:00Jack Smith testified that President Trump engaged
- 0:02in serious crimes against the United States.
- 0:04Predictably, a GOP senator tried to derail Smith,
- 0:07but instead derailed himself asking questions
- 0:09about the Easter Bunny. Today in Breaking Absurdity,
- 0:15we've got leaked audio of Melania and Donald
- 0:17Trump. Well, kind of. If that's what you want,
- 0:21you have to pay more. A new 24 -7 station featuring
- 0:25all Melania all the time. And Trump preparing
- 0:27to grow up a golf player. Leading off today is
- 0:30a Senate Judiciary hearing featuring former special
- 0:33counsel Jack Smith who made a pretty serious
- 0:35statement and you'll hear he didn't mince words.
- 0:38Here's Jack at the Senate today. Our investigation
- 0:43developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that
- 0:46President Trump engaged in serious crimes against
- 0:49our nation. If asked whether to prosecute a former
- 0:53president today based on the same facts, I would
- 0:58do so regardless of whether that president was
- 1:00a Republican or a Democrat. Rather than accept
- 1:05his defeat in the 2020 presidential election,
- 1:09President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme
- 1:11to overturn the results and prevent the lawful
- 1:15transfer of power. Wow, that's a powerful statement.
- 1:19Jack is coming in hot today, as we come to expect.
- 1:22Now, let's see what questions the Republicans
- 1:24have for him. Eric Schmidt had some probing questions
- 1:27about a basketball game. Here's that clip now.
- 1:31Did you go to an NBA game between the Golden
- 1:33State Warriors and the Atlanta Hawks on February
- 1:353rd, 2024? Seems relevant how? I'm sorry, could
- 1:41you say that again? Did you go to an NBA game
- 1:43between the Golden State Warriors and the Atlanta
- 1:45Hawks on February 3rd, 2024? What city would
- 1:50that be in? Atlanta. No. Okay. Did you ever meet
- 1:55Nathan Wade or Fannie Willis in your time in
- 1:58special counsel? No. I don't think you know that
- 2:02we have this stuff. You just took it down really
- 2:05quick. If I could look at that again. Okay. Mr.
- 2:08Chairman, can we give the witness a copy so he
- 2:10can see what's being read to him? Well, I think
- 2:14you've already sufficiently answered. I want
- 2:16to run through. We'll put it in a follow -up.
- 2:19You can respond. I think you've already perjured
- 2:21yourself. So they briefly flashed up evidence
- 2:24that they wouldn't even give Jack Smith a chance
- 2:26to process. And when they were asked to present
- 2:29the evidence so he could read it through, they
- 2:31refused. And I'm pretty sure by Jack's reaction
- 2:35that he thinks this is just GOP smoke and mirrors.
- 2:56You can check that out if that's what we're talking
- 2:59about. And Schmidt didn't stop there. He decided
- 3:02to make things personal and actually start hurling
- 3:04insults at Jack Smith. You will go down as a
- 3:08total dirtbag. That's right. The Senate GOP has
- 3:12resorted to name calling instead of providing
- 3:14actual evidence. But don't worry because Amy
- 3:17Klobuchar comes in and saves the day with some
- 3:19sound reasoning. Could it then be that University
- 3:23of Iowa's the Hawkeyes? Could that be it? And
- 3:26maybe before we show this kind of thing? I know.
- 3:32But if he was at an Iowa game, that might be
- 3:34the confusion over the names of the team. But
- 3:37perhaps you should have looked at it more carefully.
- 3:39Wow. Amy Klobuchar just shut the whole thing
- 3:42down. She figured out that Schmidt was actually
- 3:44mixing up the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes.
- 3:48So Jack wasn't committing perjury. He was just
- 3:51trying to understand a very confusing question.
- 3:53and Klobuchar handled that in only the way Klobuchar
- 3:56can, she managed to eviscerate Schmidt without
- 3:58even needing to raise her voice. But we can't
- 4:01say that for Schmidt, sadly. that could have
- 4:11obviously been related to the prosecution that
- 4:14was coordinated with his office in Atlanta. Well,
- 4:16I'm going to begin my questions now, but I think
- 4:19that people should have their back straight before
- 4:21they accuse someone of being a dirt bag and not
- 4:24get the team wrong. I stand by that statement.
- 4:26Thank you, Amy, for expertly taming the circus
- 4:29today. You will definitely not go down in history
- 4:32as a dirt bag. But the circus wasn't over yet
- 4:35because Senator Kennedy was next and you might
- 4:37remember his famous questions last week to Cash
- 4:39Patel about a very important topic. What about
- 4:43the bestiality? So when Senator Kennedy takes
- 4:46the floor, we always have to brace ourselves
- 4:48for what comes next. Okay, here we go. Do you
- 4:52believe in the tooth fairy? I do not. Good answer.
- 4:57How about the Easter Bunny? Hmm. I no longer
- 5:01believe in the Easter Bunny. Do you think Jimmy
- 5:04Hoffa died of natural causes? I do not. Well
- 5:08played, Mr. Smith. The Easter Bunny, the Tooth
- 5:11Fairy, and Jimmy Hoffa. If Jack Smith came to
- 5:13the hearing expecting difficult questions, I'm
- 5:15sure he's leaving with a completely different
- 5:17understanding of what the Senate wanted to know.
- 5:20And thankfully, we can finally put the Jimmy
- 5:22Hoffa investigation to rest. For now, anyway.
- 5:26I just hope that Senator Kennedy doesn't ever
- 5:28have to question Cash Patel about the Easter
- 5:30Bunny. We are not into bestiality. Whatever you
- 5:34say, Cash. Ads help keep the lights on here at
- 5:37It's Not Satire. But if ads give you the ick,
- 5:40let me help you with that. If you want all the
- 5:42absurdity without the ads, subscribe to my sub

- 5:46The link is in the show notes. Now let's get
- 5:48into the absurdity. So we wanted to follow up
- 5:51on last week's clandestine car conversation between
- 5:54Melania and Donald Trump. As you can see, the
- 5:57cameras caught them having a conversation, but
- 6:00we didn't have any audio. Until now, that is.
- 6:03Well, we kind of have audio. We had audio that
- 6:05we made up. Here, take a listen to the clip now.
- 6:39Now believe it or not, that clip actually got
- 6:42several million views on Facebook. And to be
- 6:45fair, that clip got quite a bit of criticism.
- 6:47A lot of people said this is so bad, this is
- 6:50clearly AI. But a lot of other people said, I
- 6:52know this is AI and I think this is what they're
- 6:54really talking about. So what do you think? Let
- 6:57me know in the comments if you think this is
- 6:59funny or just AI slop. And I decided that clips
- 7:02like this have become so popular, why not put
- 7:05together a 24 -7 TV station? Because Trump tried
- 7:09this last week and it was a complete failure.
- 7:11In fact, the views were so low and the footage
- 7:14was so boring, it got shut down within a day.
- 7:17But before it got shut down, I launched my own
- 7:19trailer, and one that was probably a little bit
- 7:22more accurate than what the White House said.
- 7:28And those of you who are just listening to the
- 7:30podcast right now, what we're looking at is various
- 7:32clips of Trump falling asleep in the office,
- 7:35in settings where other people are talking and
- 7:38he's struggling to stay awake, and the Trump
- 7:42TV branding on the screen slowly changes to...
- 7:45Insomnia cure. You don't need Ambien. Just Trump
- 7:51TV. Sleep tight. Good night. But going back to
- 8:01my TV station idea, after Trump TV failed miserably,
- 8:05I didn't want to try that again. I thought I'd
- 8:07try something a little different. I'm talking
- 8:09about Melaniavision. It's a 24 -7 station that
- 8:12I created. It's all Melania all the time. and
- 8:16it might also be a cure for your insomnia, but
- 8:18perhaps this one will stay on line a little bit
- 8:21longer. What you're looking at right now is the
- 8:23very first video that ever played on MelaniaTV.
- 8:26It's kind of like an old fashioned station intro
- 8:29from the 50s, except this one's a bit ironic.
- 8:32See, you've got Melania dancing with Trump, then
- 8:35you've got Melania dancing with a Marine. See
- 8:37how she's actually smiling now? Then we've got
- 8:40Melania and Donald Trump dancing to the YMCA
- 8:43on the White House balcony. Totally normal activities.
- 8:47Then we've got Melania in the car wash dress.
- 8:49Almost nobody's ever seen this footage. And the
- 8:52presidential couple was hoping you wouldn't notice
- 8:54this hand -hold and hand -release that the camera's
- 8:57awkwardly caught. Concluding with Melania's smile
- 8:59turning to a frown. And it just kind of continues
- 9:02from there. We've got Melania ironic slideshows,
- 9:06Melania trivia, and plenty of Melania shorts
- 9:09and compilations of all the videos I've been
- 9:11working on for the past four months. Melania
- 9:14Vision is linked here below and at the end of
- 9:16this video, so please take a look at it and leave
- 9:18a comment and let me know you found it. Just
- 9:21in case it stays on the air about as long as
- 9:23Trump TV. And take a look at one of the station
- 9:25IDs I created. I actually think it's kind of
- 9:28cute. Here I am. And Trump was in the news for
- 9:38other reasons recently. He attended the president's
- 9:41cup and attempted to grab the cup of someone
- 9:44else. Let's watch that again. Trump goes in for
- 9:49a stomach pat and aims a bit too low and quickly
- 9:52tries to correct, but it's too late before the
- 9:55cameras caught that moment. Say cheese. I feel
- 9:59for that guy who just got groped by the president.
- 10:01But remember, President Trump has absolutely
- 10:04no interest whatsoever in young, handsome men.
- 10:07And here's proof of that. Young, handsome guy.
- 10:11It's always nice to be young and handsome. Doesn't
- 10:14mean we have to like you. I don't like young,
- 10:17handsome men. Women? Men are hard to have any
- 10:23interest. Good. That's right. That's right. Thank
- 10:27you very much. You're doing a great job, too.
- 10:29Okay, President Trump. Sure, I believe you. Well,
- 10:33just tell that to the man's cup that you just
- 10:35tried to grab. Thanks for watching Breaking Absurdity.
- 10:38And remember, don't stare into the abyss alone.
