Transcript
- 0:00Donald Trump is fuming that he didn't win the
- 0:02Nobel Peace Prize, despite starting a war, and
- 0:05the White House has a new press secretary, the
- 0:07fourth woman in Trump's orbit whose name begins
- 0:09with K. In today's breaking absurdity, Susan
- 0:15Dell's husband is responding to the internet's
- 0:17reaction to her appearance, and the new White
- 0:19House press secretary is being compared online
- 0:21to a failed beauty pageant contestant. But leading
- 0:27off today, Trump's Nobel -sized meltdown over
- 0:29a peace prize awarded to a woman who has spent
- 0:31her career holding powerful people accountable.
- 0:34That's right, the 2026 Nobel Prize was awarded
- 0:37to Navi Pillay, a South African lawyer who has
- 0:40worked for decades on human rights issues and
- 0:43has called out Israel for genocide. And like
- 0:46clockwork, MAGA erupted in outrage because MAGA
- 0:49can't stand anyone criticizing Israel these days,
- 0:52much less a woman who was awarded a prize that
- 0:54Trump should have gotten. at least in their eyes.
- 0:57So we're quite shocked that Trump had some thoughts
- 1:00about it. Just kidding. Of course he had some
- 1:02thoughts about it. The Nobel Prize was given
- 1:05out today to a liberal person who works at the
- 1:07United Nations who nobody has ever heard of.
- 1:11I've never heard of the person. Yeah, sorry,
- 1:13Trump. This particular Nobel Prize awardee did
- 1:16not appear on The Apprentice. So yeah, you wouldn't
- 1:18have heard of her. And this is an indelible stain
- 1:21on the country of Norway. I think people across
- 1:25the world think somebody else has left an indelible
- 1:28stain in his nappies. And we will not forget,
- 1:31Norway, that you didn't give this prize with
- 1:34the greatest record in history. The greatest
- 1:38record in history, hey? Well, Colin Jost on SNL
- 1:41had something to say about that. He's genuinely
- 1:44angry that he didn't win the Peace Prize. Trump
- 1:48kidnapped Venezuela's president. Then he did
- 1:51so much war that we're running out of missiles.
- 1:54And he still thought this is my year. And of
- 1:57course, the Internet responded with their own
- 1:58thoughts. And a lot of people remembered Obama
- 2:01because Trump has been extremely jealous that
- 2:03Obama won a Nobel Prize and even said that he
- 2:06won it for doing absolutely nothing. So the Internet
- 2:09responded in only the way the Internet can. They
- 2:12imagined Obama dangling the Nobel Prize over
- 2:15Trump's head, taunting him like a child. I can
- 2:18only imagine what Obama is thinking right now.
- 2:21I hope he's having a great laugh. Of course,
- 2:23deep down, it's becoming clear that Trump knows
- 2:26that he can say literally anything he wants to
- 2:28his crowd. It's like the love. I could say the
- 2:31stupidest things and you clap, you know, I love
- 2:33you so much. But we don't say the stupidest things.
- 2:37We say things of common sense. Right, just like
- 2:40it's common sense that you're historically low
- 2:43in national polling right now. Sounds like common
- 2:46sense to me. Over the weekend, Trump appointed
- 2:48his new White House Press Secretary, Katie Zachariah,
- 2:52and the internet had some thoughts. And immediately
- 2:54people noticed that her name begins with a K.
- 2:57And that's significant for a strange reason,
- 3:00because it turns out that Katie is the fourth
- 3:02person that Trump has hired for a media role
- 3:04that begins with a K. We've had Kelly and Kaylee,
- 3:08Caroline and Katie. Internet responded with a
- 3:11meme that said, Trump must think four K's are
- 3:13better than three. I'm gonna let you connect
- 3:15the dots on that joke. Then somebody thought
- 3:18it would be funny to splice in an iconic beauty
- 3:20pageant fail into a Fox News interview and pass
- 3:23it off as Katie. Thank God that bell chimed in
- 3:40to save her from herself. Okay, enough jokes.
- 3:43Here's the real Katie appearing on Fox News.
- 3:46Is not actually deleterious to bringing peace.
- 3:49In fact, it works towards peace and I believe
- 3:51he's showing that. He's gonna be able to work
- 3:53a deal here. Yeah, and she really decided to
- 3:55haul out a big SAT word, deleterious. Way to
- 3:59go, Katie. But then people found this old clip
- 4:02of, you know, depopulation efforts of abortion,
- 4:07that the racist background of abortion, you know,
- 4:09the abortion pill has the same chemicals that
- 4:11they used in the exterminate camps in Nazi Germany.
- 4:18Ugh. Well, it looks like she's been spouting
- 4:20a little bit of misinformation. That tracks great
- 4:22with what we've come to expect from Caroline
- 4:24Levitt. She'll fit right in. And this is also
- 4:28her. on a beach in a bikini. I think I know the
- 4:32real reason she got hired and it's not just because
- 4:34her name begins with K. Welcome aboard Katie
- 4:37Zachariah, strap in for a wild ride. And it's
- 4:41been a few days since Susan Dell appeared in
- 4:43the Oval Office and people still can't look away.
- 4:46I've never seen so much interest in someone's
- 4:49physical appearance. I think it's because she
- 4:52just looks so different than she used to and
- 4:54And people are just fascinated in general with
- 4:57how people appear and how they change over the
- 4:59decades. Granted, it was a particularly shocking
- 5:03jump scare when she appeared that day. And the
- 5:08memes just won't stop coming. Here's one that
- 5:10was posted this morning. This is what you could
- 5:13end up looking like if you eat some of the raw
- 5:20frozen shrimp. being sent to the United States
- 5:25by other countries. I mean, maybe he's got a
- 5:29point with the way that RFK is running human
- 5:32health. We may all end up looking like that sooner
- 5:35or later. And here's another compilation of all
- 5:38the MAGA ladies together. How do you think they
- 5:40look? And taking the cake for the most iconic
- 5:44Susan Dell meme, it's Susan Dell as Michael Jackson's
- 5:47thriller. I'm sorry, I have to keep the audio
- 5:49muted here as I don't want a copyright strike,
- 5:52but I did want to post this in case you hadn't
- 5:54seen it. And one of the most anticipated Susan
- 5:57Dell appearances might be on South Park. This
- 6:00image was posted on an Instagram account, but
- 6:02then we soon learned that it was a hoax because
- 6:04South Park hasn't come out publicly and said
- 6:07that Susan Dell will be on her show. We can only
- 6:09hope. So what has been the response on this so
- 6:13far? We haven't heard anything from Susan Dell
- 6:16explaining her public appearance or any kind
- 6:18of reaction to the public's interest But actually
- 6:22Susan Dell's husband spoke out, you know the
- 6:25creator of Dell computers Michael Dell. Here's
- 6:29what he said He want an ex to say, y 'all have
- 6:32way too much to say about my wife, she looks
- 6:34more beautiful than ever, and I mean that. The
- 6:37internet really made some of you way too comfortable
- 6:39disrespecting people you don't know. Keep making
- 6:42jokes if you want, I'm the one who gets to wake
- 6:44up next to her. I mean, it's a fair point. Susan
- 6:48Dell appeared in the Oval Office to announce
- 6:51a program to help all of America's children with
- 6:53new Trump accounts and a donation of many billions
- 6:57of dollars in order to do so. But I think one
- 6:59of the reasons people reacted so much is because
- 7:02she has aligned herself with Donald Trump on
- 7:05an initiative to help children. And reportedly,
- 7:08Donald Trump's name has appeared more times in
- 7:10the Epstein files than in the Bible. I think
- 7:13people just don't understand why the Dells have
- 7:15aligned themselves with Trump, and I think a
- 7:17lot of people think that this is going to be
- 7:19an indelible stain on the Dells reputation. I
- 7:22mean, the Dells have hooked their anchor to a
- 7:25convicted felon, and someone found guilty of
- 7:28rape. Essentially, to people who view Trump like
- 7:31that, you're just now part of the Trump sphere,
- 7:34and you're just fair game for any type of joke.
- 7:37And I'd like to ask my listeners, what do you
- 7:39think? Do you think this is fair game? Or do
- 7:41you think this has been totally inappropriate,
- 7:43all the public scrutiny on Susan Bell's appearances?
- 7:46I want to hear from you. Thanks for watching
