Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Comedy Central, YEW. If you've been tuning
out the presidential campaign so far, I get it. It's boring.
I mean, my grandpa is also a rambling eighty year
old man, and let me tell you, I keep half

(00:22):
an ear open for the word inheritance and I just
ignore everything else. But the presidential campaign won't be boring
for long because this week Trump and Biden will be
rambling face to face. That's right. Thursday is the first
presidential debate, and these men are going toe to toe,
and if you've ever met or seen old men's toes,
you know that's going to be a dirty fight. Finally,

(00:46):
the American people will have something to judge these candidates
on aside from the four years that they were both
president already. And Joe Biden, for one, he's ready for
battle the president.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
This morning, it continues to be hunkered down at Camp David,
fine tuning his messaging, honing his attack lines. That he's
huddling there with over a dozen advisors, and over the
coming days his prep is expected to evolve from gaming
out questions and answers to holding ninety minute mock debates.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, that's the most dubious thumbs up I've ever seen.
That's the football player as he's being carted off the field.
He's gonna be okay, folks, his thumb is working well,
that's right. Joe Biden is holding up at Camp David
and doing ninety minute mock debates, although most of that
is just him walking up to the podium. And if

(01:44):
you're wondering who could possibly prepare him for debating Donald Trump,
will Joe Biden has just the guy.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Attorney Bob Bauer would be standing in for Trump during
mock debate sessions, yelling insults at Biden and trying to
get under his skin.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
When you're playing a role, you're trying to make the
experience as realistic for the person you're working with as possible.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Really, the guy who plays Santa Claus at the bad Mall,
this is your Trump. I don't know if he can
replicate the unhinged madness of debating Donald Trump. The only
Biden staffer who could pull that off is that dog
that keeps biting everyone in the face. But regardless of
how he prepares, there's one thing Biden can be sure of,
where exactly he's going to be on that stage.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
We're getting more details today about how the high stakes
debate stage will look. Biden won the coin toss and
chose to stand on the right side of the stage.
Why the right, There's actually a scientific reason. When there
are two people on stage TV viewers' eyes are drawn
to the right side.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Wow, thank you science. I mean, hey, any news on
a cancer cure? No, maybe, whenever you're done debating left
or right? Possibly, Hey, it may usually be true that viewers'
eyes are drawn to the right, but in this case
there'll be even more drawn to the neon man ranting
about how toilets don't flush anymore thanks to transgender swimmers.

(03:11):
But I do like this coin toss thing. You know,
why stop with the debate side. Let's have the coin
determine who wins the election. Yeah, it would be so
much less stressful than five months of campaigning. Just flip
the coin heads, it's Trump, tails, it's Biden. If the
coin bounces and rolls into the sewer, it's RFK Junior. Anyway,

(03:34):
that's what Joe Biden is up to. But preparing for
the debate is not the only way to prepare for
the debate, Because Joe Biden's opponent. Well, he's taking a
different approach.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Almost everything that President Biden is doing, Donald Trump is not.
There are no mock debates, There are no rehearse punchlines
or pivot points. The poor president also didn't take any
time away from the campaign trail.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Tell me a.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Little bit about how you're preparing for the debate, right
because we see that President Biden is out of camp. David,
you're on the campaign trail. What's your strategy for the debate?

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Well, this is really the best strategy right here.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
We have all these people's screaming questions.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Okay, first of all, no one's screaming questions. You're elevated
on a platform talking at people the whole time. And
how convenient is it that Trump's debate prep is holding
rallies the thing he wants to do. Anyway, It's like
when finals were coming up and you had that one
friend who would say, you know, I retained information better

(04:30):
when I'm high. You know, It's like, just to be clear,
that was my friend, that wasn't me.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Of course, when you don't prepare for a debate, you
run the risk of losing the debate. So it helps
to lower expectations a little bit.

Speaker 7 (04:45):
Trump appears to be lowering expectations and making excuses ahead of.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
The upcoming presidential debate with President Biden.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
So I'm not underestimating him. I'm not underestimating him.

Speaker 8 (04:56):
I assume he's going to be somebody that will be
a word the debater.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Maybe I'm better of losing the debate. I'll lose the
debate on purpose. Maybe I'll do something like that, all right,
don't lower expectations that far. Maybe I'll lose the debate.
Maybe I'll shit my pants and run off stage crying
about how much shit is actually in my pants. That's
how you'll know I've won. But this brings up an

(05:24):
interesting quandary for the Trump campaign. Right now, Trump is
saying Biden is a worthy debater, but don't forget for
the past three and a half years, he's been saying
Biden is a demented moron with the brain power of
a Love Island contestant. So how are Republicans going to
explain it if a guy they say has jello for
brains really does beat Trump, Well, don't worry. They have

(05:46):
a plan. The Trump campaign and the Trump allies. They
keep floating this conspiracy that Biden is going to be
amped up on drugs. They're going to need to goose
him and juice in.

Speaker 9 (05:56):
For a lot of Red bull, a lot of caffeine pills.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
He's on adderall, He's on riddle.

Speaker 5 (06:01):
In etcrin that has caffeine in it, hopped up on
B twelve ivy fluids, Monster Energy track or something or something.

Speaker 8 (06:09):
Whatever happened to all that cocaine that was missing a
month ago from the lay.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Whatever happened. Look, look we all know what happened. That
dog snorted it before a bit someone's face off. Certainly
it's conservative media now just wildly speculating that the president
is on drugs. Could be cocaine, could be adderall, maybe both.
I mean, at this point, Fox News is basically my
friend's group chat about Justin timberleg So. So yes, the

(06:38):
Republican talking point is that if Biden does well, it's
because he's taking performance enhanching drugs, which is just such
a stupid conspiracy theory, because first off, if Biden's body
could handle even half of what they're saying, he's the
strongest man alive. You know, he'll win the presidency and
the Kentucky Derby. Now, just by the way, Trump isn't

(07:00):
I really wanted to talk because in the same speech
where he claimed Biden is mentally incapacitated, he was going
around saying things like this.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
And my stupid people.

Speaker 8 (07:09):
When I wanted to refute it, they should sure don't
dignify it with a refuddle, refutal or refunnel.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
What the hell word would that be? Refunnled?

Speaker 8 (07:21):
Do what they'll say, he didn't know refuddle or refutal,
But they don't know either.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
It's neither. It's neither of those words. What do you
mean they don't know? No, I don't know what fake
word you're trying to say. This dude's entire brain is
just squiggly red spell check lines, and then his mouth
always tries to refuddle every thought he has. That's the

(07:47):
big difference between Biden and Trump. When they make a mistake,
Biden will correct himself, whereas Trump will deflect and call
everyone else an idiot, which, to be honest, is more relatable.
And it's like when I get to and then I
accuse everyone else of being drunk instead of just focusing
on the road. Right, So thank you for laughing. So,

(08:09):
on one hand, Biden's taking the whole week to prepare it,
and on the other hand, Trump's raw dog in it.
Two very different approaches, but which one's right. For more
on the debate over whether to prepare for a debate
or just to wing it, let's go to Desi Lideck
and Troy.

Speaker 7 (08:24):
Awada Ya Desi, Desi, you're for preparation.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Why is that better? Thank you, Michael.

Speaker 10 (08:38):
Preparation is the better approach because it gives you the
tools you need to lay out your position, project confidence
and do this thing with your thumb. Because, as Thomas
Edison said, genius is one percent inspiration and ninety nine
percent perspiration.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Thank you the wise Troy. Why are you pro winging it?
Because I'm not a dork.

Speaker 11 (09:09):
While Desi was in the nerd zone, I was eating
a double cheeseburger in a pool, staring at a cloud
that looked like a double cheeseburger.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
And what did all that studying do for her?

Speaker 11 (09:19):
I can also quote Thomas Edison, if you build it,
he will come.

Speaker 10 (09:25):
He did not say that. That's from Field of Dreams.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
You know I did like that movie. I'm going to
give a point to Troy for that. Now does he
try again.

Speaker 10 (09:35):
Okay, okay, okay. Preparation gives you the best chance of
crafting your answer, all right, and I will prove it.
If I were prepping Joe Biden to answer a debate
question on inflation, here's what I do. I'd arm him
with a six point economic plan that addresses rising costs,
job creation, affordable housing, tuition costs, abortion rights, and always

(09:57):
always landing on a charming story about a factory worker
named Jack.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, this is what I'm talking about. Blah blah blah
blah blah.

Speaker 11 (10:05):
Do you do you really want the queen of Library
town talking about a plan or do you want someone
like me who just says, don't worry, I got this.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, See, Deisy, it seems like he's got this point
to Troy. You know.

Speaker 10 (10:20):
That is not a point for Troy when he's saying
is empty. Someone who prepares for debate is someone who
prepares for everything, and that's what you want a president.

Speaker 11 (10:29):
Look at this cat that I drew. It has swords
for arms. It's not cool, dude, that is awesome.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
I'm not equine for toy cats. Yeah, you're not selling
me on preparation right now.

Speaker 10 (10:45):
Okay, okay, fine, you know what, I'm nimble. I can
see that being unprepared is winning this debate. So let
me tell you this. In my preparation for being prepared,
I also prepared a scenario where I am unprepared.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
Huh, okay, look at me.

Speaker 10 (10:59):
I don't really care about this. I'm an easy, breezy
lemon squeeze.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Okay, let me just let me just stop me there.
That was so bad. I'm going to give another point
to Troy. I mean I agree. Seriously.

Speaker 10 (11:13):
Look, yes, okay, policy is boring, preparation is nerdy, but
this country needs people that are prepared to run it.
A debate isn't some Bravo reunion. It's where candidates outline
their policies and platforms, their belief systems. So yes, running
the country is the one test you have to study.

Speaker 11 (11:33):
For counterpoint, I'm on the right side of the TV screen.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
You know what, Troy wins. Troy wins, Desney Lioneck and
Troy A wanna everybody.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
Show.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
My word is John Stewart.

Speaker 9 (12:03):
Thank you Ausin very much for joining us. We are
coming to you live.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
You may say, we.

Speaker 12 (12:15):
Just watched what you watched.

Speaker 9 (12:20):
We just witnessed a debate between President Joseph Robinette Biden
versus former President Donald Robinette Trump. It was a highly
anticipated affair, according to the network that was running it.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
The first Biden Trump debate a little over one month away.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Right here on.

Speaker 11 (12:39):
CNN, we are less than two weeks away from the
first presidential debate, just.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
One week from today.

Speaker 6 (12:44):
Welcome to the.

Speaker 11 (12:45):
First work day of the most important week of the
presidential campaign.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Three days and counting just two days. Now, we're about
thirty hour, thirty ish hours.

Speaker 12 (12:54):
Just over twenty four hours.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Twelve and a half hours.

Speaker 12 (12:58):
Say the words, It's debate.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Day in America.

Speaker 9 (13:05):
The candidates must have been so excited to know that
they haven't missed it.

Speaker 12 (13:11):
I imagine old man Biden opening.

Speaker 9 (13:12):
His window and shouting at the street below, you're that boy,
What day is today? Why it's debate day? Then there's
still time prepare the debate, goose. Prior to the event,
what did the political class believe would be the criteria

(13:33):
for each candidate to be successful in the debate?

Speaker 12 (13:36):
First, Donald Trump.

Speaker 7 (13:38):
Trump has to show that he's not going to end democracy.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Don't respond in a way that the suburban mothers wouldn't like, donatterrupt,
Joe Biden, don't take debate, don't look like a bully,
don't get angry, portray normalness.

Speaker 12 (13:52):
Can't you just pretend to be normal for ninety minutes?
How is that advice for a presidential debate?

Speaker 9 (13:59):
And not what you would say say to your parents
when you bring home a date for.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
The first time?

Speaker 12 (14:04):
Can you not talk about January sixth?

Speaker 9 (14:06):
And please don't do your Asian voice.

Speaker 12 (14:10):
I really like this girl, but that's Trump.

Speaker 9 (14:13):
Surely the expectations on President Biden will be higher.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
He absolutely cannot have a senior moment, a.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Physical or verbal stumble him forgetting something.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
Any of his kind of freezing moments.

Speaker 9 (14:27):
Stay alert, to stay engaged, and to stay awake.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
President Biden has to show that he can stand there
for an extended period of time, remain.

Speaker 6 (14:36):
Upright, remain.

Speaker 12 (14:54):
Upright to be president.

Speaker 9 (14:58):
You know, I may be mistaken, but I believe those
are the same qualifications needed to be scarecrow. Tonight, the
president must show the country that he can keep our
corn safe. But then it was time for the actual debate.

(15:20):
And let's see how it began. Both men came out
and oh yes, okay, And then, of course both men
are ambulatory they are both upright.

Speaker 12 (15:32):
Level one cleared.

Speaker 9 (15:35):
It's going to be an important discussion between two important men.

Speaker 6 (15:39):
What are the rules?

Speaker 7 (15:40):
You want to share the rules of the debate with
the audience at home.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Each candidate will have two minutes to.

Speaker 9 (15:45):
Answer a question and one minute each for responses and rebuttals.

Speaker 12 (15:50):
What can you do it to a minute?

Speaker 9 (15:52):
I can't even articulate what's wrong with your entire setup
to this debate? An ad break to watch a Whulu
show is three minute?

Speaker 12 (16:00):
What can you do in two minutes?

Speaker 9 (16:01):
But all right, that's gonna winnow out anything that might
be interesting or substance.

Speaker 12 (16:05):
But let's begin.

Speaker 9 (16:06):
We know the bar that's been set up for each
to pass. Biden has to not look old and not
have a senior moment.

Speaker 13 (16:14):
Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary
person eligible for what I've been able to do with
the UH, with the COVID, I excuse me with dealing
with everything we have to do with if we finally
beat medicare, Thank.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
You, President Biden.

Speaker 9 (16:50):
I need to call a real estate agent in New Zealand.

Speaker 12 (16:55):
Okay, high pressure situation.

Speaker 9 (16:58):
A lot of times you can confuse saving Medicare with
beating it. I'm sure it's not something that repeated throughout
the debate, causing Democrats across the country to either jump
out of windows or vomit silently into the nearest recycling
Then anybody can talking, how did Biden do?

Speaker 12 (17:23):
Not talking?

Speaker 1 (17:25):
How close the police are there?

Speaker 5 (17:27):
Almost every police group in the nation from every state,
and everybody wanted.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
To get it back to the States everybody.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
And China nothing, and Russia nothing, in India nothing.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
I will have that reporter out.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
He should have had him out a long time ago
because I didn't have legislation.

Speaker 12 (17:42):
I said, close the border.

Speaker 14 (17:43):
We had the safest border in history.

Speaker 9 (17:57):
Not great, but uh, A lot of people have resting
twenty fifth Amendment face. I'm not a political expert, but

(18:20):
while Biden was preparing at Camp David for a week,
did anyone mention he would also be on camera on
the split screen? Is there any moment here that can
save Biden.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
This is the first presidential election since the Supreme Court
overturned Rob Wade.

Speaker 12 (18:39):
Oh shit, we're back baby.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Abortion. Ain't to the B to the O, to the AWE,
to the D to the the repeal of rov Wade.

Speaker 12 (18:51):
That is Trump's weakest issue.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
It's been a great thing.

Speaker 6 (18:56):
Oh he is, it's a great thing.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Hit him, Joey, I'm a terrible thing. What you've done,
this is awesome.

Speaker 9 (19:12):
We are done here tk oh no, no, no, Joe, Joe, Joe,
don't say anything else, Joey.

Speaker 13 (19:19):
The idea that states are able to do this is
a little like saying we're going to turn civil rights
back to the states. Let each state have a different rule. Look,
there's so many young women who have been including a
young woman who just was murdered and he went to
the funeral. The idea that she was murdered by an
immigrant coming in they talk about that.

Speaker 12 (19:52):
Did you just immigration?

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Abortion?

Speaker 14 (19:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (19:59):
I know, abortion, it is one of our strongest issues.

Speaker 9 (20:01):
But let me for a moment talk about immigrants killing
and righting people.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
It's one of the weakest folks.

Speaker 9 (20:09):
I think sportsmanship would insist that an opponent not sees
on a opportunities such as this.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
There have been many young women murdered by the same
people he allows to come across our border.

Speaker 12 (20:26):
So how do we do this?

Speaker 9 (20:27):
Now? Do I take his car back to the White
House tonight? I mean, gam on, we done with this shit?
Do I use ups his stuff.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
I mean, game on. That was crazy what he did
just now.

Speaker 9 (20:37):
So Biden perhaps not on top of his game. Maybe
I will check out this young upstart Donald Trump. Obviously,
the election is a binary choice, so let me see
what this Trump fella is about. As we learned earlier,
he just had to come in there and not be
an asshole.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
He doesn't care about our veterans. He doesn't care.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
He doesn't like the military at all. Probably the worst
administration in history, the worst presidency in the history of
our country. This shouldn't be a debate. He's the worst resident.
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this. I don't think he knows what he said either.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
He challenged me to a golf match.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
He can't hit about fifty yards.

Speaker 9 (21:17):
Does not appear to have passed the asshole test. See
me after debate. All right, Trumper, what do you got
on substance?

Speaker 5 (21:29):
We had the greatest economy in the history of our country,
a lot of credit for the military, and no wars
and so many other things.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
Everything was rock and good.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
But the thing we never got the credit for and
we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess.
He allowed millions of people to come in here from prisons, jails,
and mental institutions. The only jobs he created are for
illegal immigrants. We had the lowest taxes ever. I didn't
have sex with the porn star.

Speaker 9 (22:06):
She was a porn character actor at best. I'm not
saying she couldn't open a movie. But so just so
we're all clear, everything that Donald Trump said in that
clip is a lie, blatant and full. And we were

(22:30):
tight on time putting this together. There's plenty more. It
really makes you wonder, what's RFK.

Speaker 12 (22:37):
Junior doing tonight. Maybe he's got some w what's up?

Speaker 9 (22:41):
I'm sorry, Oh, vaccines, No, I see that's but yeah,
sure there's sie effects to all of them, okay, and
a wormware okay, fair enough.

Speaker 12 (22:53):
He's vice president, she'll running. They donated, okay.

Speaker 9 (22:57):
Anyway, there was, of course a moment where I kind
of thought we were getting substantive.

Speaker 13 (23:04):
I was recently in France from D Day, and I
spoke all about those heroes that died. I went to
the World War II cemetery, World War One cemetery. Refused
to go to. He was standing with his four star
general and he told me, said, I don't want to
go in there because they are much of a loser
and suckers. My son was not a loser, was not
a sucker. You're the sucker.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
You're the loser.

Speaker 12 (23:34):
Shit just got real.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
The first of all, that was a made up quote, a.

Speaker 9 (23:43):
Made up quote, which I think a trump land means.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
That's a real quote.

Speaker 6 (23:48):
That's a quote.

Speaker 9 (23:50):
But this is about our nation's veterans foreign policy. This
is important to Biden.

Speaker 13 (23:54):
Come on, brother wor Star general stand your side was
on your.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
Staff who said you said?

Speaker 13 (24:00):
Period, We've done more for veterans than any president has
in American history. The only sacred obligation we have as
a country is to care for our veterans when they
come home and their families and equip them when they
go to war. That's what we're doing. That's what the
VA is doing now. They're doing more for veterans than
ever before in our history.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
All right, thank you.

Speaker 10 (24:18):
So much for let's move to the topic of foreign policy.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Wait what, move on?

Speaker 12 (24:22):
No, we don't move to stay on that topic. Not
move on, dot No, don't go moving on. Who came
up with these.

Speaker 9 (24:28):
Dumb ass rules and why would any of.

Speaker 12 (24:30):
These people agree to them?

Speaker 9 (24:32):
The one thing that we did prove tonight is that
the MAGA conspiracy theory about Biden's upcoming debate performance was nonsense.

Speaker 5 (24:41):
A little before debate time, he gets a shot.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
In the ass.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
They are giving the president some sort of a stimulant,
an add drug adderall riddling.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
New drugs that are out there.

Speaker 11 (24:50):
They are specifically for Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, a.

Speaker 9 (24:52):
Lot of caffeine pills E twelve debate viagriate, Well, certainly
there are drugs that can be used to energize a
person in that state. I apologize for how fast I'm

(25:13):
talking now I'm on those drugs. Let me just say,
after watching tonight's debate, both of these men should be

(25:45):
using performance enhancing drugs.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
I'm sorry, I told you.

Speaker 9 (25:54):
As much of it as they can get, as many
