Transcript
- 0:00Katie Zacharias' first press conference was an
- 0:02unmitigated cringe fest. She couldn't even tell
- 0:04the difference between the president and her
- 0:06husband. And Donald Trump appears to be lusting
- 0:09after male senators' athletic bodies. In today's
- 0:15breaking absurdity, JD Vance takes a homophobic
- 0:18swipe at James Tallarico, despite a rather spicy
- 0:20old tweet of his own that's just resurfaced.
- 0:23And Donald Trump's rally speeches are becoming
- 0:25increasingly unhinged, with the empty seats suggesting
- 0:28his audiences might be losing interest. First
- 0:31up today, it was a tough first day for Katie.
- 0:33Everything looked to be going smoothly at first.
- 0:36Here she is walking out to a packed press room
- 0:38with reporters eager to ask questions. Good morning.
- 0:43Why do I feel this sense of dread? I am so honored
- 0:47to work for President Trump and the American
- 0:50people as the new White House press secretary.
- 0:55I want to thank President Trump. For his trust
- 0:59that he has placed in me. I have wanted to work
- 1:04for him for a very long time Oh, I see. She's
- 1:07activated North Korean propaganda mode. Why is
- 1:10choice Katie? Let's see what else she does with
- 1:12it to build a to build eight large -scale Nuclear
- 1:17power plants just like he delivers on every promise
- 1:21Cringe in addition to that we will be we will
- 1:25be do it. Yeah, there is 54 billion dollars Whoa,
- 1:29Katie, I'm gonna have to stop you right there.
- 1:31I think you came with the wrong internet connection.
- 1:33You seem to be on 1990s dial -up instead of Wi
- 1:37-Fi. Let me show you what I mean. And something
- 1:39President Trump is delivering on, just like he
- 1:42delivers on every promise. In addition to that,
- 1:48we will be, yeah, there is $54 billion tied to
- 1:53the Alaska LNG pipeline and terminal to service
- 1:57the Pacific Rim. Yeah, I just don't think we're
- 2:00gonna get anywhere with that connection. Why
- 2:02don't we try some questions from the press? Katie
- 2:05explained to the press how she's gonna balance
- 2:07work and home life. The idea of not spending
- 2:09evenings with my kids is completely unacceptable.
- 2:14So my president, excuse me, my husband. Oh. That's
- 2:18a good one. My husband is out here. Apparently
- 2:21that cringe was so bad, even the phone lines
- 2:24crashed. Our family and we are very, very protective
- 2:27of celebrating birthdays as a family. So he brought
- 2:29the entire crew out here and blessed him. It's
- 2:32a lot. Clearly we can see it's a lot. So what
- 2:36else do you have for us, Katie? The president
- 2:39will be back on Thursday and that's what I will
- 2:42answer. I'll leave it there. That's it? That's
- 2:44all you got? He will answer those questions in
- 2:47what? Wow, you can literally hear the bewilderment
- 2:57of the press. That was only 14 minutes. They've
- 3:00never been to a press conference so short, so
- 3:03unhelpful and so abrupt before. And immediately
- 3:07thereafter, people had thoughts. Because, of
- 3:10course they did. There was a reaction from mainstream
- 3:13media. Tonight our sources say that several White
- 3:15House officials are already questioning how long
- 3:18Katie Zachariah will remain in her job as the
- 3:20White House Press Secretary following her first
- 3:23briefing. To the Internet meme machine. And I
- 3:27believe that our education, like such as in South
- 3:30Africa and Iraq. That's right, the Internet took
- 3:33one look at Katie's press conference and it reminded
- 3:36them of this South Carolina beauty pageant fail.
- 3:39Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe that
- 3:43they should Our education over here in the u
- 3:47.s Should help the u .s or should help south
- 3:49africa and should help the iraq and the asian
- 3:52countries Oh dear on her very first day of work
- 3:55She's already become a laughing stock of the
- 3:58internet and brian krassenstein on x had a great
- 4:00way of putting it He gave her 0 .5 scaramuchis
- 4:04Well, maybe the president can clear this up for
- 4:07her Here he is commenting on her performance
- 4:09right in front of her. Trump says she was very
- 4:13good. If you say so, sir. So the press are asking
- 4:22President Trump, where did Katie Zachariah pass
- 4:24the bar exam? China? Looks like she said China
- 4:33again. I think this cleanup act has only muddied
- 4:37the waters even further. In fact, the internet
- 4:39reacted pretty quickly before we knew it this
- 4:42meme was created saying that Katie Zachariah
- 4:45passed the Tmoo bar exam. I knew they had pretty
- 4:49much everything on Tmoo, but I didn't know they
- 4:51had that. Going back to Brian Krasenstein's .5
- 4:55Scaramucci rating, Scaramucci served about 10
- 4:58to 11 days. So if we apply our Scaramucci math
- 5:01formula, we're looking here about five to six
- 5:04days tops. Welcome aboard, Katie. Don't get too
- 5:08comfortable. One of the few things Katie talked
- 5:11about at her press conference was how successful
- 5:13all of Trump's midterm rallies were going. So
- 5:16I thought it'd be interesting to take a look
- 5:17at some of the footage. Here's one clip that
- 5:20stood out. And I don't do this with men very
- 5:22often. I started examining his body because I
- 5:25didn't know he was a great athlete. And I looked
- 5:28and I watched up and down. I looked at his ass
- 5:31and I looked at the hole. Wait, what is he talking
- 5:34about? Is he talking about looking at the senator
- 5:36or one of his magazines? And then I looked at
- 5:39his hands. Look at his hands. He's got these
- 5:42like claws. And I got it. You are a great athlete.
- 5:47I didn't know that because he doesn't talk about
- 5:49that. So Trump was ogling John Husted, Senator
- 5:56of Ohio. And here they are together. Granted,
- 6:00he is a handsome man, but I just didn't know
- 6:02this much about what Trump was into. This wasn't
- 6:05the first time recently that Trump had been expressing
- 6:08his admiration for the male form. I think they
- 6:19were from Oklahoma. Come on up here, fellas.
- 6:24Come here. Wow. Wow. I don't know what we're
- 6:30in for here. Okay. I guess everybody has a type.
- 6:39Boy, oh boy. That's the real deal. Those are
- 6:42real. Those are real people. Those are real people.
- 6:46Um is it just me or do those guys get downgraded?
- 6:50He said they were big strong handsome guys and
- 6:53once they came up on stage and left they got
- 6:55downgraded to real people. Well they do say that
- 6:59Trump destroys everything he touches so I just
- 7:02want to advise to those guys please go to your
- 7:04doctor immediately and make sure you're in good
- 7:07health. And moving to JD Vance. JD Vance appeared
- 7:11at a rally and just wanted to make sure everybody
- 7:13knew that he was straight. Now before we get
- 7:16started, I love you too, sir. In a totally platonic
- 7:21way. Why would anyone assume that JD Vance meant
- 7:23that he loved that man in a different way other
- 7:26than platonic? To be clear. And it occurred to
- 7:29me that JD Vance is probably saying this because
- 7:32an old tweet surfaced from a few years ago. The
- 7:35tweet allegedly said, girls are right all along.
- 7:38The big ones really do hurt like hell. Now I
- 7:40can't independently verify that tweet. But you
- 7:43know what they say, the lady doth protest too
- 7:46much. Wow, JD. What I think is funny about this
- 7:55is he thinks that's an insult. But actually,
- 7:58if he were James Tallarico, that would be a massive
- 8:01upgrade for JD Vance. What do y 'all think of
- 8:04this crack? I think it was a really cheap shot.
- 8:06Let me know in the comments what you think about
- 8:08JD Vance's jokes about James Tallarico. Thanks
