Well, guys, after weeks of delays, the white house is finally giving president elect biden access to something very important. Watch this 2 1 2 weeks after biden won, President Trump finally giving formal approval for biden to receive the president s daily brief. Its highly classified information that biden will need jimmy thats right, the president elect is finally receiving trumps daily brief. Today, biden was like, okay, gotcha thats right this is a marmaduke cartoon. So, is this [ laughter ] its okay, trump doesnt need the daily brief anymore. He gets all his intelligence from randy quaids tweets. [ light laughter ] thanks to trumps daily brief, biden will now be wellversed in foreign and domestic threats and who got eliminated on the bachelorette. [ light laughter ] actually, it does turn out that the brief they give biden is a a little different than the one they give trump. Ill show you what i mean. For instance, bidens brief says, iran Building Nuclear arsenal. While trumps brief says, iran makes big fireworks that go boomboom. [ laughter and applause next up, bidens brief says, norway experiencing harsh climate change. While trumps says, soon olaf will be a puddle. [ laughter ] and finally, bidens brief says, canada extends border restrictions with u. S. While trumps says, americans betrayed by beliebers. [ laughter and applause just a little bit. Even though the transition has already begun, Rudy Giuliani is still trying to overturn the election today he talked about voter fraud at an event in gettysburg, pennsylvania people were pumped about the event. Not to hear rudys speech, just to see whats gonna leak out of his head [ laughter ] its almost thanksgiving, i hope its gravy but rudy was smart this time first he dyed his hair, then he applied a coat of thompsons waterseal over it. Very smart and this is very interesting trump was also supposed to be in gettysburg, but he cancelled at the last minute because of Covid Concerns thats great trump was like, its not safe to be there in person. So, rudy, you go. Trump ended up appearing over speakerphone in gettysburg, and he actually delivered a speech inspired by abraham lincolns famous address here, check it out four seasons and seven total landscapings ago, the liberal media brought forth on this continent a news so fake, conceived by the haters and losers, can you believe it, folks, and dedicated to the preposition that every person, woman, man, camera, tv was created equal. Jimmy okay, i got it thats it. [ applause ] speaking of the president , today he decided to pardon his former National Security adviser Michael Flynn. He announced it via tweet. He wrote, it is my great honor to announce that general michael t. Flynn has been granted a full pardon. On one hand, flynn is thrilled on the other, hes like, you pardoned the turkey before me . [ laughter ] when people heard the name Michael Flynn, they were like, wow, they brought back a character from season one for the finale cool. [ applause ] thats how you do it seriously, theres a name from the past even Michael Flynn was like, damn, i totally forgot about Michael Flynn.

Sunbeam is voluntarily recalling nearly a million crock pot six quart multicookers the company says the cookers can pressurize when the lid is not fully locked and that creates a burn hazard jimmy anybody who watches this is us was like, a little late [ light laughter ] yeah, people knew something was up when the only button on the crock pot was, good luck. [ laughter ] did you see this theres a live action movie about clifford the big red dog coming out. And today we got our first glimpse of clifford. But some people are complaining about how he looks lets take a look. [ laughter ] clifford looks like a soccer moms teeth after a pitcher of sangria. [ laughter ] apparently, people were expecting clifford to be heinz ketchup red and what they got was hunts catsup. [ laughter ] and finally, check this out. A woman in minnesota put some old pears in her backyard, and i guess they were they got fermented, because look what happened when a squirrel ate one. This squirrel out in minnesota accidentally got drunk when he ate a fermented pear the homeowner says that she threw out some pears that she found at the bottom of her fridge the squirrel got into the pears.
