Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: But first, I want to check in on the president.
- 0:05Speaker 1: You know, his approval rating is currently lower than really ever,
- 0:09Speaker 1: I think. It's really, it's not, it's not good. Really,
- 0:14Speaker 1: thanks to a combination of inflation and he's a dick
- 0:17Speaker 1: and the war in Iran, the ongoing energy crisis in
- 0:23Speaker 1: his own body. Weekend at Donnie's. But as is always
- 0:34Speaker 1: the case with Donald Trump, his MAGA base remains unfazed.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Now, this week saw the formal dedication of a 22-foot
- 0:43Speaker 2: gold statue of Trump at his Miami golf course by
- 0:47Speaker 2: none other than evangelical Pastor Mark Burns. Pastor Burns must
- 0:52Speaker 2: have known that he might take some criticism for praying
- 0:55Speaker 2: over a literal golden idol because he wrote on social media, quote,'
- 0:59Speaker 2: Let me be clear, this is not a golden calf.
- 1:06Speaker 1: No. It is not. But if I may say, it
- 1:14Speaker 1: is a full-grown cow. That is a golden cow. With
- 1:24Speaker 1: a gold load in its... But I don't want to
- 1:29Speaker 1: suggest this is actually a case of false idolatry. If
- 1:32Speaker 1: it was... God would probably be punishing us the same
- 1:37Speaker 1: way he did in the Bible with a plague. And
- 1:40Speaker 1: I mean, that's not happening.
- 1:42Speaker 3: Breaking tonight, the deadly outbreak of a rare rodent virus.
- 1:46Speaker 1: On board a cruise ship.
- 1:47Speaker 3: The race to contain a suspected deadly virus outbreak.
- 1:50Speaker 4: The public health threat so dangerous.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Nightmare at sea. Cruise chaos. A cruise from hell.
- 2:08Speaker 5: What?
- 2:10Speaker 1: What? Another pandemic? Are we going to have to start
- 2:16Speaker 1: washing our hands again? Or freaking the f * *
- 2:20Speaker 1: * out in a Target? Target?
- 2:23Speaker 4: I'm not playing another game.
- 2:25Speaker 6: This shit's f * * * ed over.
- 2:26Speaker 7: This shit's all f * * * ed over.
- 2:30Speaker 3: This shit's f * * * ed over.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Good times. Although I have to say, on the plus side,
- 2:54Speaker 1: I can't believe I still fit into my old hazmat suit. Hey,
- 2:59Speaker 1: quick question here though. Are we all going to die?
- 3:03Speaker 2: It's not like COVID.
- 3:04Speaker 8: It's not like measles.
- 3:05Speaker 1: It's not a very efficient transmission. The overall risk to
- 3:08Speaker 1: the public is low. You don't need to be hysterical
- 3:10Speaker 1: about it. I know we don't have to be hysterical
- 3:22Speaker 1: about it.
- 3:24Speaker 4: It's choice.
- 3:24Speaker 1: But you know what? It's a relief. I'm glad we
- 3:28Speaker 1: don't have to be hysterical about it. COVID was a
- 3:31Speaker 1: respiratory virus, passes easily, often when the person isn't symptomatic.
- 3:35Speaker 1: It was a brand new virus we hadn't ever seen before,
- 3:38Speaker 1: and we weren't allowed to know where it came from.
- 3:40Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't know. We were obviously allowed to know.
- 3:46Speaker 1: We just didn't know. Wink. While the hantavirus is a
- 3:54Speaker 1: known virus, it's difficult to transmit. It's mostly spread by
- 3:57Speaker 1: rat infestation. which does raise the question, how did a
- 4:02Speaker 1: cruise ship end up with hantavirus on it?
- 4:07Speaker 9: A husband and wife who were the first to be
- 4:09Speaker 9: stricken with the so-called rat virus reportedly went birdwatching at
- 4:13Speaker 9: a rat-infested landfill when their cruise ship was docked at
- 4:17Speaker 9: a remote city in Argentina.
- 4:28Speaker 1: I have some questions. Just gonna walk down the list. A,
- 4:35Speaker 1: what cruise line offers day trip landfill excursions? B, what
- 4:51Speaker 1: bird watcher wants to go to a landfill and spend
- 4:58Speaker 1: the whole day going, seagull, seagull, seagull, used condom, cerulean warbler. No,
- 5:18Speaker 1: that's used condom, sorry. Seagull. Vulture, seagull, condom. Vulture eating,
- 5:25Speaker 1: seagull eating condom. But in bird watching lingo, that's known
- 5:33Speaker 1: as a vulgoldom. A lot of people serve that on
- 5:40Speaker 1: the holidays. The point is, some people may get pretty sick.
- 5:47Speaker 1: But forget COVID, this ain't no pandemic. Hell, this hantavirus,
- 5:52Speaker 1: and not even in monkeypox territory. But I guess reality
- 5:56Speaker 1: don't sell papers. So boys, we learned that everything was
- 6:00Speaker 1: okay on Tuesday. What are we doing Wednesday through Friday?
- 6:05Speaker 8: The WHO has been vocal in saying this is not
- 6:07Speaker 8: another pandemic or epidemic situation.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Can they be so sure? Should people be worried? Is
- 6:13Speaker 1: this another pandemic?
- 6:14Speaker 3: Could the hantavirus mutate?
- 6:16Speaker 4: People have a right to be nervous.
- 6:18Speaker 1: You gotta fight for your right to be nervous. Yes.
- 6:29Speaker 1: We might have a right to be nervous, but I
- 6:32Speaker 1: guess the question the news might want to ask is,
- 6:36Speaker 1: do we have a reason? And your assignment, news, should
- 6:41Speaker 1: you choose to accept it, is to help the public
- 6:45Speaker 1: discern the difference. So may we hear from the experts again?
- 6:51Speaker 3: The potential to spread beyond an outbreak is very small.
- 6:55Speaker 10: Should be.
- 6:59Speaker 4: I have no concern about that.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I guess it's going to stick this time. I want
- 7:04Speaker 1: to make the timeline clear to everybody. Sunday, we found
- 7:08Speaker 1: out Hantavirus had been on a cruise ship. Monday through Thursday,
- 7:14Speaker 1: expert upon expert, scientist upon scientist, very transparently explained why
- 7:20Speaker 1: this illness, while a serious illness, is a low-level public
- 7:26Speaker 1: health threat. Their words went a long way to easing
- 7:32Speaker 1: the concerns of a curious public. And Lord knows the
- 7:37Speaker 1: news can't let that happen. So on Friday, after three
- 7:44Speaker 1: days of reinsurance, I give you Nightline.
- 7:49Speaker 11: A dream vacation turning into a floating nightmare. Authorities are
- 7:53Speaker 11: now working to stop the spread and track down passengers
- 7:56Speaker 11: who've already left the ship, including to the U.S. The
- 8:00Speaker 11: looming question, could this become the next pandemic?
- 8:04Speaker 1: God damn it! They got me again!
- 8:09Speaker 9: Whoo!
- 8:23Speaker 1: I was panicking. They got me again. And by the way,
- 8:27Speaker 1: did you check out the percussion on that? Could this
- 8:29Speaker 1: be the next pandemic? The question of whether it was
- 8:32Speaker 1: going to be the next pandemic had been asked and answered.
- 8:34Speaker 12: For three days.
- 8:44Speaker 1: But apparently that was before the authorities decided not to
- 8:48Speaker 1: fire a torpedo and sink the cruise ship, burying its
- 8:51Speaker 1: diseased passengers and cruise entertainers in a watery grave befitting
- 8:55Speaker 1: their disease. That's right, folks. These people from this ship
- 9:01Speaker 1: We're going to be allowed to disembark.
- 9:07Speaker 3: The deadly hantavirus is no longer contained to that cruise ship.
- 9:12Speaker 1: It is now literally flying around the world. Why'd they
- 9:15Speaker 1: let them off the boat? Releasing them off the boat
- 9:18Speaker 1: just creates new problems.
- 9:19Speaker 8: Why did they get off the boat and then come
- 9:21Speaker 8: back to America? How long do you think people on
- 9:23Speaker 8: the ship should be isolated before being allowed to leave
- 9:26Speaker 8: and then walk among us?
- 9:36Speaker 7: Look, I don't think any of us are crazy about
- 9:40Speaker 7: the idea of people who take cruises walking amongst us.
- 9:44Speaker 1: I just don't think it's... And I respect that. But
- 9:52Speaker 1: there's still people. There are just people who wanted to
- 9:57Speaker 1: travel the world on a floating shop mall they can
- 10:00Speaker 1: throw their fiancé off. Look it up! Trust me, it's
- 10:12Speaker 1: got a higher body count than the hantavirus. Trust me. Look,
- 10:20Speaker 1: I could be convinced to be on Team Sync them all.
- 10:23Speaker 1: But again, let's listen to the experts that the news
- 10:27Speaker 1: people themselves have vetted to answer these questions responsibly.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Dr.
- 10:33Speaker 5: Rasmussen, do you have any concerns about the process of
- 10:36Speaker 5: the passengers returning to their home countries?
- 10:38Speaker 8: So I don't actually have any concerns about this process
- 10:41Speaker 8: from a scientific perspective because I actually think that the
- 10:44Speaker 8: process itself is completely suitable for this virus.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Oh, suitable for the virus, but not suitable, apparently, for
- 10:52Speaker 1: this news cycle. The news experts say stay calm, but
- 10:57Speaker 1: the news media says, no, I believe we prefer panic.
- 11:00Speaker 13: Right now, we're in the port where the ship won't
- 11:02Speaker 13: even be allowed to dock.
- 11:02Speaker 12: You can have a look at what this looks like.
- 11:05Speaker 1: That is the MV Hondias.
- 11:07Speaker 13: Those are the Americans finally on board that evacuation boat.
- 11:10Speaker 13: You can see there's a small group of them being
- 11:12Speaker 13: ferried back and forth.
- 11:13Speaker 3: Helping ferry passengers off the ship and onto some smaller
- 11:16Speaker 3: boats to land.
- 11:17Speaker 4: Off of the ship on these.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Little boats that bring them here through a tent.
- 11:20Speaker 8: Within minutes, they are on a bus headed straight for
- 11:23Speaker 8: the airport.
- 11:24Speaker 3: Looking at a portion of a bus that looks similar
- 11:27Speaker 3: to the ones that people have gotten onto.
- 11:33Speaker 1: You're literally showing us a bus they're not on? You're
- 11:39Speaker 1: just cutting to showing us what a bus looks like? Yes, Jim,
- 11:45Speaker 1: the passengers are getting on, and I'm being told that
- 11:47Speaker 1: the wheels on this bus go round and round. And
- 11:54Speaker 1: we're about to get on a bus where the wheels
- 11:56Speaker 1: go round and round, Jim. I see, and can you ask,
- 11:59Speaker 1: will that be all through the town? I believe it will, Jim.
- 12:03Speaker 1: I believe they will be going all through the town
- 12:06Speaker 1: on the bus. They were treating it like the OJJs,
- 12:13Speaker 1: that's the logistics of how you get from a boat
- 12:15Speaker 1: to the shore. But don't worry, the news media's high
- 12:19Speaker 1: level technology gets us access we never could have gotten before.
- 12:23Speaker 13: These images just coming in, those Americans getting on buses
- 12:26Speaker 13: and waving before boarding their flights. Drone video from Spanish
- 12:29Speaker 13: authorities capturing the first passengers leaving Drone video.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Spectacular. Such good use of drones. Ukraine uses theirs to
- 12:41Speaker 1: defeat Russia. But good on you. I still have not
- 12:46Speaker 1: learned enough. I mean, I know they've gone from a
- 12:48Speaker 1: boat to a smaller boat to a tent to a bus.
- 12:50Speaker 1: But at this point, I've somewhat lost the trail.
- 12:56Speaker 7: Where will it end? Where will these who are supposedly
- 13:00Speaker 7: to walk amongst us end up? Perhaps in a room?
- 13:06Speaker 7: If so, what does the room look like?
- 13:09Speaker 1: Is it furnished?
- 13:13Speaker 7: If it has a bike, will that bike be stationary?
- 13:16Speaker 14: Each person will have their own room, equipped with special
- 13:19Speaker 14: ventilation systems, private bathrooms, exercise equipment, and Wi-Fi.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Private bathrooms, exercise equipment, Wi-Fi. Oh, maybe we should all
- 13:40Speaker 1: get the Hantavirus. It's actually not that luxurious. Only one
- 13:45Speaker 1: of them will be given the password.
- 13:52Speaker 7: Which I believe is lowercase Hantavirus, but the I is
- 13:54Speaker 7: a one and the S is a dollar bill, y'all.
- 13:58Speaker 3: Look.
- 14:01Speaker 1: We are now eight days into this non-pandemic. And it's
- 14:06Speaker 1: beginning to affect our Mother's Day coverage segues. It's a
- 14:10Speaker 1: very happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there.
- 14:13Speaker 11: This morning, that cruise ship hit by a deadly hantavirus.
- 14:16Speaker 4: The State of our Union is calling our mom.
- 14:19Speaker 15: This morning, 17 Americans are beginning a trip back to
- 14:22Speaker 15: the U.S.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Happy Mother's Day to all the moms watching. Let's kick
- 14:24Speaker 1: this off.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Pandemic panic.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Happy Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day. Tell your mom you
- 14:39Speaker 1: love her. But also keep your eyes on her. Because
- 14:44Speaker 1: you don't know if she's got it or not. And
- 14:46Speaker 1: I got to tell you this. If she turns, you
- 14:50Speaker 1: know what you have to do. No tears, boy. No tears.
- 14:58Speaker 1: She's not your mother anymore. She's more haunter than woman.
- 15:12Speaker 1: No matter how many times the question can be asked
- 15:16Speaker 1: and answered, it doesn't matter for some people. And sometimes,
- 15:23Speaker 1: it's the same person.
- 15:25Speaker 8: Does this have the markings of the next pandemic or no?
- 15:29Speaker 2: No.
- 15:29Speaker 4: Should we still not be sounding the alarm?
- 15:32Speaker 13: I don't think we have to be very anxious about it.
- 15:35Speaker 5: Should we be worried that we have an American here
- 15:38Speaker 5: who's tested positive?
- 15:39Speaker 16: No, it's a low risk to Americans.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Should we still not be worried by this here in America?
- 15:44Speaker 13: Correct.
- 15:44Speaker 3: I don't think that this poses any risk to the
- 15:46Speaker 3: general public.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Jesus, lady! How badly do you just want to work
- 15:53Speaker 1: from home? Just work from home. We're not all going
- 15:58Speaker 1: to die.
- 15:59Speaker 2: That's a good thing.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Just zoom in, Jesus. Although it is important to note,
- 16:07Speaker 1: this virus can cause chronic fatigue syndrome, mostly amongst the
- 16:11Speaker 1: experts who have to repeatedly answer the same questions.
- 16:18Speaker 3: What is your message to Americans who are still scared?
- 16:23Speaker 1: We have been repeating the same answer many times.
- 16:27Speaker 4: This is not another COVID.
- 16:31Speaker 6: And the risk to the public is low.
- 16:36Speaker 1: So they shouldn't be scared and they shouldn't panic. You
- 16:43Speaker 1: f * * * ing idiot. Well, that certainly should
- 16:50Speaker 1: put an end to it.
- 16:52Speaker 4: Unless.
- 16:53Speaker 1: So they shouldn't be scared and they shouldn't panic.
- 16:57Speaker 15: And there is concern out there that more positive cases
- 17:00Speaker 15: could pop up.
- 17:03Speaker 1: So when they say, you shouldn't be scared, you hear,
- 17:07Speaker 1: be scared! It's like they're all trying to recapture that
- 17:10Speaker 1: pandemic ratings magic. Remember the old big screen body counts?
- 17:16Speaker 1: All the ways they scared us? Well, the counts are back. Obviously,
- 17:22Speaker 1: not as compelling. There's one person who tested positive. A
- 17:27Speaker 1: separate person showed symptoms, but we don't have a positive
- 17:29Speaker 1: test result for that person.
- 17:30Speaker 3: One!
- 17:36Speaker 9: One!
- 17:36Speaker 1: One positive and one negative. Runny nose?
- 17:44Speaker 13: What?
- 17:46Speaker 1: Damn, this thing is spreading like, I don't know, what's
- 17:49Speaker 1: something that doesn't spread? Cold butter? The legs of a prude?
- 17:58Speaker 1: I could do this all day. So it's fine. It's
- 18:02Speaker 1: not a thing. Go about your lives. Go on a
- 18:07Speaker 1: cruise if you want. Meanwhile, a norovirus outbreak on board
- 18:11Speaker 1: a different cruise ship.
- 18:12Speaker 10: 102 passengers, 13 crew members are sick on the Caribbean Princess.
- 18:20Speaker 7: No!
- 18:22Speaker 15: Yesterday, Trump hosted an event on maternal health care, which
- 18:25Speaker 15: is a high priority for the White House. Because what
- 18:28Speaker 15: is a woman's birth canal if not a straight of
- 18:31Speaker 15: hormuz that our government must take control of? Now, the
- 18:35Speaker 15: focus of the event was America's lower birth rates. So
- 18:39Speaker 15: of course, Trump invited RFK Jr., health secretary and guy
- 18:43Speaker 15: whose iPhone screen is always greasy.
- 18:47Speaker 4: So let me ask, RFK Jr., why are birth rates down?
- 18:51Speaker 15: And please remember, when you answer, don't make this weird.
- 18:56Speaker 8: For men in 1970, men had twice the sperm count
- 19:00Speaker 8: as our teenagers do today.
- 19:07Speaker 4: I'm sorry. Did he just do a back in my
- 19:10Speaker 4: day for sperm?
- 19:13Speaker 1: Back when I was a.
- 19:14Speaker 4: Teen, we had twice the jism.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Our spunk knew how to drive a stick, you know?
- 19:21Speaker 15: They don't make man butter like that anymore. Now, he
- 19:26Speaker 15: didn't explain how he knows that, but.
- 19:30Speaker 15: Knowing RFK, I'm sure he personally went down to the
- 19:33Speaker 15: sperm bank and sampled them like gelato flavors.
- 19:38Speaker 1: Can I get it with sprinkles?
- 19:40Speaker 13: Please?
- 19:41Speaker 4: Okay, but it's.
- 19:42Speaker 15: Interesting that he mentioned teenage sperm in particular, because when
- 19:46Speaker 15: you look at the lower birth rates, that's mostly driven
- 19:48Speaker 15: by fewer teens. births, by which I mean teenagers giving birth,
- 19:53Speaker 15: and not moms giving birth to teenagers.
- 19:56Speaker 1: You know?
- 19:57Speaker 4: Oh, congratulations, it's a Mr. Beast fan.
- 20:01Speaker 15: I'm just confused why the government is apparently trying to
- 20:04Speaker 15: reboot 16 and Pregnant.
- 20:06Speaker 4: But Dr. Oz, maybe you have a good reason. And again,
- 20:10Speaker 4: you know what? I'll remind you. Just please, please don't
- 20:14Speaker 4: make it weird.
- 20:15Speaker 1: So let me speak a little bit about the reality
- 20:17Speaker 1: that one in three Americans are underbabied. I said don't
- 20:23Speaker 1: make it weird!
- 20:25Speaker 4: Under-babied? What does that even mean?
- 20:29Speaker 15: Are we shocked no one wants to have babies anymore?
- 20:32Speaker 15: I mean, nothing makes the ladies want a raw dog
- 20:34Speaker 15: like hearing RFK Jr. talking about what the jizz was
- 20:37Speaker 15: like at Woodstock.
- 20:40Speaker 4: Let's focus up.
- 20:41Speaker 15: This is an event about women. Let's actually hear some
- 20:44Speaker 15: of the women speak while we all pay really, really,
- 20:49Speaker 15: really close attention.
- 20:52Speaker 5: In the Perinatal Improvement Collaborative hospitals, we have reduced maternal
- 20:57Speaker 5: mortality by 41.5%, which is truly incredible. And this is
- 21:02Speaker 5: compared with the 5.9% decline in benchmark hospitals.
- 21:07Speaker 10: Oh.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Don't judge.
- 21:12Speaker 15: This man is exhausted from working the graveyard shift at
- 21:15Speaker 15: his second job, posting insane AI slop all night. It's important,
- 21:21Speaker 15: thankless work. So yet another Oval Office meeting, where Trump was,
- 21:25Speaker 15: as Dr. Oz would call it, under-conscious. I'd like to
- 21:30Speaker 15: see the White House somehow.
- 21:31Speaker 4: Spin their way out of this one.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Now, a Reuters reporter posted a picture of President Trump
- 21:36Speaker 1: with his eyes closed significantly, and the.
- 21:40Speaker 4: White House responded, he was blinking, you absolute moron. Look,
- 21:46Speaker 4: you know what? I can relate. I got a solid
- 21:48Speaker 4: eight hours of blink last night. I mean, come on.
- 21:52Speaker 15: Don't you hate when you're blinking and you have to
- 21:54Speaker 15: get up and go pee? You have to try and
- 21:57Speaker 15: get back to blink, you know?
- 21:59Speaker 1: It's a nightmare.
- 22:00Speaker 4: You know what? I think I see what's going on here.
- 22:03Speaker 15: Trump and Kash Patel have split up blinking duties.
- 22:08Speaker 1: You know?
- 22:11Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 22:12Speaker 1: This is.
- 22:14Speaker 6: Yes.
- 22:17Speaker 15: One keeps them shut, and one keeps them fully open.
- 22:21Speaker 15: Government efficiency at work. But look, let's not get carried
- 22:25Speaker 15: away here. Yes, Trump is falling asleep in the middle
- 22:27Speaker 15: of meetings, but he's not as.
- 22:29Speaker 4: Bad as Joe Biden, OK? Remember Sleepy Joe?
- 22:32Speaker 15: He was snoozing while inflation just skyrocketed.
- 22:35Speaker 4: This is completely different.
- 22:38Speaker 15: Today, new inflation numbers at the highest level in nearly
- 22:41Speaker 15: three years, up 3.8% from a year ago.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Well, well, well.
- 22:49Speaker 15: Looks like the Sleepy Joe-er has become the Sleepy Joe-ee.
- 22:52Speaker 4: But okay, all right.
- 22:56Speaker 15: Inflation is soaring, which means gas prices are going up,
- 22:59Speaker 15: transportation costs are exploding, and our most cherished airlines are
- 23:03Speaker 15: up in heaven now, charging the angels for water.
- 23:07Speaker 4: Now, you know what? Normally, I'd be worried.
- 23:09Speaker 15: But thank God we have Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who
- 23:13Speaker 15: I'm sure is laser-focused on fixing it.
- 23:16Speaker 13: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is starring in a new reality
- 23:20Speaker 13: show encouraging people to hit the road.
- 23:22Speaker 6: Duffy and his wife, Rachel Campos Duffy of Fox News,
- 23:26Speaker 6: met on MTV's Road Rules All-Stars. And they and their
- 23:31Speaker 6: nine children are channeling that past in this five-part YouTube series.
- 23:37Speaker 15: First off, nine kids? I guess we know someone who's
- 23:42Speaker 15: not underbabied. Now, you might be upset that your tax
- 23:47Speaker 15: dollars were spent on sending Sean Duffy and his entire
- 23:50Speaker 15: Wu-Tang Clan on an all-expenses-paid trip around the country.
- 23:54Speaker 4: But don't worry. You didn't put the bill. It was
- 23:58Speaker 4: the other kind of corruption.
- 24:00Speaker 16: Duffy says no taxpayer dollars were involved, neither he nor
- 24:03Speaker 16: his family were paid, and sponsors picked up the production tab.
- 24:07Speaker 16: But looking at some of those corporate backers, government watchdogs
- 24:11Speaker 16: warn that the secretary is enjoying a road trip that
- 24:15Speaker 16: appears to have been funded by the very industries his
- 24:19Speaker 16: agency oversees.
- 24:21Speaker 13: Wow.
- 24:22Speaker 15: I mean, Boeing just can't help being part of a disaster, huh? Look,
- 24:28Speaker 15: if you're furious about a cabinet member being paid by
- 24:31Speaker 15: companies he regulates to take a road trip in the
- 24:35Speaker 15: middle of a gas crisis caused by his administration, if
- 24:38Speaker 15: that really makes you want to.
- 24:40Speaker 4: Scream, please don't, because the president is blinking right now.
- 24:47Speaker 15: President Trump left for a major summit in China yesterday,
- 24:50Speaker 15: where he's sure to discuss important topics such as trade deals,
- 24:53Speaker 15: the war in Iran, and whether the Chinese can help
- 24:56Speaker 15: get his fingers out of that pesky trap. Honestly, this
- 25:01Speaker 15: trip could not have come at a better time. Things
- 25:04Speaker 15: have not been going great at home. And at a
- 25:07Speaker 15: press conference just before he left, you can see just
- 25:10Speaker 15: how testy he's getting.
- 25:12Speaker 12: So what happened is we have a ballroom that's under budget.
- 25:16Speaker 12: It's going up right here. I doubled the size of it,
- 25:21Speaker 12: you dumb person. You are not a smart person.
- 25:28Speaker 10: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 25:30Speaker 4: Calm down, Mr. President. Go to your happy place. Well,
- 25:34Speaker 4: not literally. That party's over and your wingman is MIA, but.
- 25:40Speaker 4: Metaphorically. The point is, I think both.
- 25:43Speaker 15: Trump and us could benefit from this time apart. I mean,
- 25:47Speaker 15: nothing wrong with a little break, get some distance, reset.
- 25:51Speaker 4: You know what? You can take your boys with you.
- 25:53Speaker 8: Making the trip with him, several of the nation's top CEOs,
- 25:57Speaker 8: including Elon Musk, Tim Cook, and Jensen Wang, the head
- 26:00Speaker 8: of Nvidia.
- 26:02Speaker 4: That's your crew? Those are your boys?
- 26:04Speaker 15: Not exactly the Rat Pack here, is this? That's the
- 26:08Speaker 15: kind of bachelor party that makes a stripper want to
- 26:11Speaker 15: get her life back in order. In fact, you can
- 26:16Speaker 15: tell that that was not a fun flight by watching
- 26:19Speaker 15: Donald Trump walking down the staircase.
- 26:22Speaker 4: After he landed in Beijing. I mean, look at that.
- 26:25Speaker 15: That is a man who spent 19 hours sitting next
- 26:28Speaker 15: to Elon Musk.
- 26:30Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, yeah.
- 26:31Speaker 15: All right, let's hear Grok do the Borat voice again.
- 26:35Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, all right.
- 26:37Speaker 15: Apartheid South Africa was very nice, yeah.
- 26:41Speaker 4: When do we land?
- 26:42Speaker 15: Luckily, Chyna was there to perk him up, though, with
- 26:45Speaker 15: a Jennifer Hudson spirit-tuttle of business casual children. That chant
- 26:57Speaker 15: translates to, ballroom now, ballroom now. And then, of course,
- 27:02Speaker 15: Tim Cook got off the plane and was like.
- 27:04Speaker 1: Hey, you kids, get back to work, huh?
- 27:07Speaker 15: I'm not paying you a nickel an hour to sing.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Get back there.
- 27:11Speaker 4: Anyway, you know what? I'm sure Trump will have a
- 27:13Speaker 4: good time.
- 27:14Speaker 15: And while he's gone, maybe we can have a little
- 27:16Speaker 15: check-in back here at home.
- 27:18Speaker 4: You know, I'm talking to you, MAGA base. Um, hey. Hey,
- 27:27Speaker 4: MAGA pals. What's up, guys? You know, this is a
- 27:30Speaker 4: safe space.
- 27:31Speaker 15: Donald's gone. It's just you and me, your old pal,
- 27:34Speaker 15: Jordy Klepp, you know?
- 27:35Speaker 4: Let's rap. Not in an urban way. Don't worry. So
- 27:39Speaker 4: how are we feeling, you know, about everything?
- 27:43Speaker 9: Hey, Trump supporter here.
- 27:45Speaker 1: This goes out to Don Jr.
- 27:47Speaker 4: And Eric.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Where the f * * * is my phone?
- 27:52Speaker 4: Well, it's in your hands, sir.
- 27:54Speaker 15: That's how you're recording this, but maybe you're talking about
- 27:59Speaker 15: the new Trump mobile phone that Don Jr.
- 28:01Speaker 4: And Eric are backing. You must have ordered one of them.
- 28:05Speaker 1: I ordered three, no, four gold Trump.
- 28:08Speaker 12: Phones in the summer.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Now we can't get... Any f * * * ing
- 28:12Speaker 1: updates on them?
- 28:14Speaker 4: Well, I stand corrected.
- 28:16Speaker 15: It was four phones from the world's top phone makers,
- 28:21Speaker 15: Eric and Don Jr. Look, look, for those of us
- 28:26Speaker 15: who don't remember, last June, the Trump sons introduced the
- 28:30Speaker 15: Trump mobile phone, which had one major selling point.
- 28:35Speaker 3: You're gonna have phones that are made right here in
- 28:38Speaker 3: the United States of America.
- 28:39Speaker 1: We're gonna be building phones in America.
- 28:41Speaker 3: It's about time we bring products back to our great country.
- 28:45Speaker 3: Build for Americans, by Americans.
- 28:47Speaker 4: For Americans, by Americans. Sort of like FUBU.
- 28:51Speaker 15: For people who call the cops on people who wear FUBU.
- 28:55Speaker 15: But still, a $ 500 phone made in America? Say what
- 28:59Speaker 15: you want about the Trump brothers. This is an incredible deal.
- 29:02Speaker 4: And of course, the haters will.
- 29:04Speaker 15: Say that you can't build a phone in America, that
- 29:06Speaker 15: the only thing we make here anymore are.
- 29:08Speaker 4: Nepo babies and looks maxers.
- 29:11Speaker 15: And that this whole thing was just a scam aimed
- 29:13Speaker 15: at anyone gullible enough to fall for it. But 600,000
- 29:18Speaker 15: people ignored the haters and put down a $ 100 deposit
- 29:22Speaker 15: because they knew they would be proven right when those
- 29:25Speaker 15: phones arrived in August.
- 29:27Speaker 3: August came and went. September came and went. At one point,
- 29:30Speaker 3: we were promised a November 13 date.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Okay, fine, not August. Okay.
- 29:36Speaker 15: But November's not bad either.
- 29:38Speaker 9: And then.
- 29:40Speaker 3: November came and went, December came and went, and here
- 29:42Speaker 3: we are in May of 2026, and there appears to
- 29:44Speaker 3: be no sign of it.
- 29:45Speaker 1: Okay, fine, not November or December or January.
- 29:49Speaker 4: We all know the names of months here, okay? So
- 29:52Speaker 4: it's taking a long time. But so what?
- 29:55Speaker 15: It's worth the wait to finally have a phone that's
- 29:57Speaker 15: made in America.
- 30:00Speaker 4: USA!
- 30:01Speaker 1: USA!
- 30:02Speaker 8: The company's website states that the phone, which was originally
- 30:05Speaker 8: advertised as being made in America, will now be designed
- 30:08Speaker 8: with American values in mind.
- 30:12Speaker 15: USA values in mind!
- 30:18Speaker 12: USA values in mind!
- 30:21Speaker 15: It's not as chanty as you'd like it to be. Okay,
- 30:26Speaker 15: all right, okay, so the phone went from made in
- 30:30Speaker 15: America to designed with American values in mind. This reminds
- 30:35Speaker 15: me of shopping for my kids' fruit snacks. Some are
- 30:38Speaker 15: made with real fruit, and some are inspired by the
- 30:41Speaker 15: idea of a strawberry. All right, fine, it's disappointing that
- 30:47Speaker 15: they couldn't make it in America, but hey, the important
- 30:49Speaker 15: thing is that you're absolutely still getting a phone.
- 30:52Speaker 8: The company behind Trump Mobile quietly updating its pre-order terms
- 30:56Speaker 8: and conditions last month to clarify that it, quote, does
- 30:59Speaker 8: not guarantee that a device will be produced or made
- 31:02Speaker 8: available for purchase.
- 31:03Speaker 4: Holy shit!
- 31:06Speaker 15: After people bought the phone, they changed the terms and conditions.
- 31:09Speaker 4: To say there might never be a phone.
- 31:12Speaker 15: That feels less like a terms and conditions and more
- 31:15Speaker 15: like a gotcha, bitch. And no wonder the MAGA base
- 31:19Speaker 15: is so upset. I mean, I'd be furious, too. And
- 31:22Speaker 15: the Trump sons must have heard the cries from inside
- 31:24Speaker 15: the F-150 because suddenly the Trump phone is about to
- 31:28Speaker 15: come out again.
- 31:30Speaker 8: Some of President Trump's mobile phones should be shipped out
- 31:33Speaker 8: this week. That's according to Trump mobile CEO Pat O'Brien.
- 31:37Speaker 4: This week!
- 31:38Speaker 15: Where on earth are they going to find 600,000 phones
- 31:42Speaker 15: to ship?
- 31:44Speaker 9: Oh.
- 31:45Speaker 4: Okay. Okay. That's why they brought all those people to.
- 31:50Speaker 1: China with them.
- 31:52Speaker 4: Now I get it.
- 31:53Speaker 15: It comes down.
- 31:55Speaker 9: Quick.
- 31:56Speaker 12: Everyone grab all the phones as you can.
- 31:59Speaker 15: I would do it myself, but this thing is more
- 32:01Speaker 15: complicated than I thought.
- 32:02Speaker 4: Grab it.
- 32:03Speaker 12: How do I do it?
- 32:04Speaker 1: How do I do it?
- 32:06Speaker 9: Look.
- 32:08Speaker 15: I don't know if these phones are actually being shipped
- 32:10Speaker 15: soon or ever, but there is a way to describe
- 32:13Speaker 15: the kind of person who put down $ 100 for a
- 32:16Speaker 15: phone made by Eric Trump, but I.
- 32:19Speaker 4: I don't really want to say it.
- 32:20Speaker 12: You dumb person.
- 32:22Speaker 13: Okay.
- 32:24Speaker 15: He said it, not me. President Trump is in China
- 32:27Speaker 15: right now, and the whole U.S. news media has gone
- 32:31Speaker 15: along with him, which means we at home are getting
- 32:34Speaker 15: a rare look at some of China's cultural wonders.
- 32:37Speaker 10: This is the Family Mart convenience store in Beijing. Inside
- 32:40Speaker 10: is a Galbot robot, the dominance of AI. Beijing is
- 32:45Speaker 10: trying to lead the way in AI and also in
- 32:48Speaker 10: humanoid robots. Let's go inside. This is the first of
- 32:52Speaker 10: its kind for this kind of interaction. If you want
- 32:55Speaker 10: to order something, hello, can I get a sausage, please?
- 33:09Speaker 4: A sausage?
- 33:11Speaker 15: You went to China, home of one of the most
- 33:13Speaker 15: famed cuisines in the world, and ordered a convenience store sausage? Brad,
- 33:18Speaker 15: you're making us look weird in front of our future overlords. Although,
- 33:23Speaker 15: it could be worse. Usually, when someone at Fox News
- 33:26Speaker 15: asks someone to grab their sausage, it comes with a
- 33:29Speaker 15: $ 10 million lawsuit, so... By the way, look at that
- 33:34Speaker 15: robot just standing there in the back. I love that
- 33:38Speaker 15: even in our tech future, there's still one guy at
- 33:41Speaker 15: work that does absolutely nothing.
- 33:44Speaker 4: But as for the summit itself.
- 33:45Speaker 15: Trump's welcome got off to a nice start when he
- 33:48Speaker 15: was greeted by.
- 33:49Speaker 4: Children upon children upon children.
- 33:53Speaker 15: But then things took a turn for the worse when
- 33:55Speaker 15: Trump was confronted by stairs upon stairs upon even more stairs.
- 34:03Speaker 15: But after all the greeting and the stair climbing, it
- 34:06Speaker 15: was time for the actual summit, a chance for President
- 34:09Speaker 15: Xi to explain his position in simple, clear terms Donald
- 34:13Speaker 15: Trump could understand.
- 34:15Speaker 8: President Xi said that he hoped the two countries could
- 34:17Speaker 8: avoid the so-called Thucydides trap. It's a historic reference about
- 34:21Speaker 8: a great power being threatened by the rise of another.
- 34:23Speaker 4: Damn it, Xi!
- 34:26Speaker 15: You're gonna hit President Trump with a Thucydides trip?
- 34:30Speaker 4: Now you're making his brain go up a flight of stairs.
- 34:34Speaker 15: Come on, all right, President Trump, don't let this guy
- 34:36Speaker 15: history-mog you. Show him you can communicate in equally sophisticated terms.
- 34:43Speaker 12: Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest fast-food
- 34:48Speaker 12: chains in the United States all combined. That's a pretty
- 34:51Speaker 12: big statement.
- 34:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 34:54Speaker 4: That's my president.
- 34:57Speaker 15: Putting his understanding of geopolitics into fast food terms. He
- 35:02Speaker 15: gives a summit speech like a third grader who got
- 35:04Speaker 15: assigned China for his geography project. In conclusion, China is
- 35:09Speaker 15: a land of contrast, and I brought Panda Express for everyone!
- 35:15Speaker 4: I got to say, it appears to.
- 35:16Speaker 15: Be a good sign to see all this bridge building,
- 35:19Speaker 15: because I was under the impression that our relationship with
- 35:21Speaker 15: China was growing increasingly tense and bitter, especially over Taiwan,
- 35:26Speaker 15: which China wants to take back, and we want to
- 35:28Speaker 15: keep independent. But I'm sure all the goodwill between Xi
- 35:32Speaker 15: and Trump carried over into their closed-door meeting about Taiwan.
- 35:36Speaker 14: During a two-hour closed-door meeting, Xi reportedly delivering a stark
- 35:41Speaker 14: warning to Trump on the issue of Taiwan, which China
- 35:44Speaker 14: sees as its territory. Xi telling Trump if the issue
- 35:48Speaker 14: is handled poorly, the two countries will collide or even clash.
- 35:52Speaker 4: Ho, ho, ho. Tough talk, President Xi.
- 35:56Speaker 15: Perhaps you've forgotten that you're talking to America, the country
- 35:59Speaker 15: that's just about to start kicking Iran's ass any day now.
- 36:06Speaker 15: And if you want to step up to us with
- 36:08Speaker 15: all this Thucydides crap, then why don't you do sit
- 36:11Speaker 15: on these nuts?
- 36:13Speaker 4: Now, I know Donald.
- 36:15Speaker 15: Trump's not going to take a tongue lashing like that.
- 36:17Speaker 15: Our president's definitely not going to walk out of those
- 36:19Speaker 15: talks looking like he's in a hostage video.
- 36:21Speaker 4: How were your talks, sir?
- 36:26Speaker 13: Great.
- 36:31Speaker 1: Holy shit, what happened in there?
- 36:34Speaker 15: That was like asking Tiger Woods how the drive home went.
- 36:39Speaker 15: All right, DT, do you want to expand on that?
- 36:42Speaker 15: Maybe defend Taiwan? What happened in the meeting that made
- 36:53Speaker 15: him really not want to talk about Taiwan? He's out
- 36:56Speaker 15: there like, don't you guys want to talk about anything else?
- 36:59Speaker 15: Jeffrey Epstein, I got a lot of redactions.
- 37:01Speaker 4: I got time.
- 37:02Speaker 1: Let's chat.
- 37:03Speaker 15: So after day one of this trip, I definitely have
- 37:06Speaker 15: way more questions than answers. What did Xi say to
- 37:09Speaker 15: Trump behind closed doors? Can our two nations avoid the
- 37:12Speaker 15: famous two centipedes trap? How many Chinese restaurants are there
- 37:17Speaker 15: in the US? Hell, I don't even know if Bret
- 37:20Speaker 15: Baier ever got his sausage.
- 37:22Speaker 10: This is the first of its kind here, and they
- 37:25Speaker 10: say there are going to be many different iterations, so
- 37:27Speaker 10: there's a real big back and forth.
- 37:29Speaker 1: He got his sausage!
- 37:30Speaker 9: Yeah!
- 37:38Speaker 15: And look, it's just a loose sausage on a plate.
- 37:44Speaker 12: Yum!
- 37:45Speaker 15: The robots are like, I know you are going to
- 37:47Speaker 15: eat this with your hands, you American pig.
