Tonights debate was not the wrestlemania event most people were expecting. I think maybe somebody swapped trumps adderall out for tylenol. Donald trump, by the way, is the only president who gets marks for good behavior. [ laughter ] like when you bring a 2yearold on a plane. He tried very hard to resemble a human being tonight. The topics for this debate were american families, race in america, fighting covid19, climate change, national security, and dipping sauces. [ laughter ] the president requested the last one. Unfortunately for trump, he knows very little about any of these subjects. The only thing destructive could have really won this debate is if the topics were squandering your inheritance, shower head pressure, and combing your hair like this. [ applause ] i thought the moderate der a veg job, Kristin Welker handled them well. One of the reasons the president is so hard to wrangle is he just makes things up.

Im happy to welcome back. We had him here a year and a half or so ago. We will talk about the new book the 1948 election and you will be amazed of exactly how similar it sounds in other ways different. Whats different is the politicians were all younger so that is one big difference but take it away and tell us about the overview of the book. Thank you for having me.

Dodgers third baseman, justin turner, was mysteriously pulled from the game after the seventh inning because his covid test results came back positive. Why they didnt find out until the game was almost over i have no idea. Major League Baseball might want to invest in some slightly more rapid tests for the players. Turner took all the necessary precautions, he left the field for 20 minutes, then came right back out on the field. [ laughter ] here he is after the game. Good news is he was wearing the masks, one of those n95 no, wait, no, i guess he wasnt. He had the mask on his ears. At least he wasnt holding the trophy that everyone touched oh, he was.

Who is now definitely positive too.
