Speaker 1 (00:00):
I thought that Biden has been making regular calls to
former President Obama to talk about the election. Well, we
actually got our hands on a recording of their last call.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Really yeah, listen to this. Hey, hey, buddy, is Joe.
I was wondering, this is Barack Obama right right?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I listen my poll numbers there there. I can't come
to the phone right now. We're on the phone, so
leave a message after the beat.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Come on, Yeah, it worked again. We got a hold
of that.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I can't come to the phone right now. Leave a message.
The beep you see, he doesn't want to talk to
the old man. Uh, quickly, a little poll thing before
we get into tonight's giant fundraiser that's going to break
all kinds of records. I'm looking at TV right now,
(01:01):
star studded fundraiser. Man, all the New Yorkers love. It's
at Radio City Music Hall, and everybody in media's in
New York and they're al and they're all Democrats. Everybody
in the media's Democrats, so they're all excited about it.
The whole thing makes me sick. This is like the
met Gala or Oscars or something. I mean, it's got
that feel to it in terms of my level of
vomit getting so close to my mouth, I'm afraid it
(01:22):
might spew. There are chiminy. There are some polls out
where Biden and Trump are really really close, like within
the margin of air, closer than they have been in
the past. And there was one poll, as I mentioned,
that Biden had tied Trump in the battleground states. I
think that was the bloomberg pole. Anyway, anybody who didn't
think it was going to be a very very close election.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I don't know what you were when you were expecting.
But that's where we are right now. Yeah, keeping in mind,
if the election were held today, that would be a
violation of the Constitution, so it can't possibly happen. So
President Biden taking to the stage in New York City
tonight for a major campaign fundraiser, with Bill Clinton and
(02:04):
Barack Obama flanking him, a historical gathering of something or other.
Of course, they all have some pretty complicated relationships, but
they're joining together for Team Democrats. How old about the
fact that the president from two terms ago is going
(02:24):
to be on stage with the current president and is
twenty years younger Barack Obama's twenty years younger than Joe Biden,
who's raising money for her. That's amazing. Well, and Clinton's
fairly old. I can't even remember how old he is.
Last SERI, oh, I asked my watch, how old is
Bill Clinton?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I stand by everybody.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Siri tells me Bill Clinton hasn't gave me a long
Wikipedia page forty.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Seconds, keeps standing by everybody. I won't tell me how
old is Bill Clinton. Everybody knows that seventy seven.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
AI works better if you out at it. I'm mad
at her. She knows some mador so she answered me
seventy seven. Yes, yes, the guy who served in the
nineties is significantly younger and noticeably sharper than the current guy. Right,
the guy who got elected in ninety two is five
years younger.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
That's amazing. Yeah it is, and again a great deal
sharper too.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Attendees, we'll see the trio on stage at Radio City
Music Hall, with late night TAK show host Stephen Colbert
interviewing I guess moderating a conversation with.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
All of them.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
The program will be hosted by actress Mindy Kayling and Sir,
They've got a moderator and a host whoever that is,
and include musical performances by Queen Latifa and Lizzo.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
All right, Lizzo, she's ob sensational. Is that a new word?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Ob sensational? Yes, she's enormous and enormously talented. Ladies and gentlemen, Lizzo,
she sits around the house, She sits around the house.
Put your hands together for oh boy. Some top doors
will have their photo with the three presidents taken by
none other than legendary photographer Any Libovitz. And I wondered,
(04:20):
you know, I was thinking, you know, this would be
worth a certain amount of money to go to and experience,
just because the stories I could.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Tell on the show would be amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, let's roll clip fifty one and think about that,
Michael fifty one.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Tickets for this event started at two hundred and twenty
five dollars, went all the way up to five hundred
thousand dollars, with the more you pay, the more access
you're getting, including one batch of supporters who will have
a photo taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz of themselves
and the three president.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Whoa whoa whoa half a million bucks to get the
full Annie, yikes, twenty five to get in the door.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
It would be worth it. But then you're at the
back of the hall. It's like the cheap seats at
a concert.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I guess yeah, you would definitely be in there. You
can say you were their situation like happens with a
lot of big sporting events or concerts or whatever. But wow,
it'd be pretty cool to have a picture with three
three living presidents. Of course, the living presidents, you're gonna
get a picture with a debt one dead. That's better
than a big guy with one living and two dead. Hey,
(05:27):
if I ever showed you this picture of me with
Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and William McKinley.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
William mcinley's bones. Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So Biden's got a huge fundraising lead over Trump right now,
partly because Trump has to spend a lot of campaign
funds on defending himself against charges, some semi legitimate, some
completely farcical.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And Trump, for his part, is also raising money off
the fundraiser. His campaign sent an email to supporters yesterday
asking for contributions to defeat the Obama Clinton cartel. So
the photo, as you said, with all three is one
hundred grand a donation of two hundred and fifty thousand. Here,
you're a big swinger man. You donate a quarter of
(06:09):
a million dollars to a political campaign. Wow, uh, and
you're not expecting anything for that, by the way, you
just think you're just a good American. You're not expecting
any special privileges for your quarter million dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Certainly not access.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
For instance, EARNS donors access to one reception five hundred
thousand dollars gets them into an even more exclusive gathering.
The party doesn't stop there, according to the campaign, First
Lady Jill Biden and DJ d Nice are hosting an
after party at Radio City Music Hall with only five
hundred guests.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
After all, the other.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Things are open with several old men on their fourth
party of the night at like midnight?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
God, are they even going to be on.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Their feet for seven hundred and fifty thousand. Bill takes
you along and tells you his Monica stories. H Whooo, yes,
house Billager, that was a cheap shot. But you know what,
I feel like I got my money's for seventy five
thousand dollars. Joe Biden will tell you the Amtrak story,
(07:13):
the house catching fire story and a touching story about
bo Biden, all all to back to back. Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Wow, it wasn't a cheap shot. It was a thrifty shot.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
So so, but so you go to the thing, You've
got really good seats. Then a quarter million dollars gets
you into the special reception, and then twice that gets
you into an even more exclusive gathering.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
So how does that work? I mean, so are you wing?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I guess there's a meeting the next day with top
donors and top strategists. So you're in a room with
I don't know how many people it's going to be
five hundred people for your quarter million dollars. And then
it time's up, and then they shuffle you off and
some of you get into another room and then there's
like h seventy five of you in this other room
at all will look at each other thinking this is
(08:02):
worth a half a million dollars. This is the same
more nerves they just pushed them over into this room
and you get a little closer. Anyway, I'm sure there
will be uh official coverage and leaks and rumors and
that sort of thing to come out of the giant fundraiser.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Which we'll bring to you at our earliest possible.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Is Stephen Colbert going to try to make it all
kind of jokey or is he going to do any
serious commentary? I mean there's going to be all kinds
of Trump is Hitler? This is the last election if
we don't win stuff, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I think Colbert, for all of his obnoxiousness at times,
is really smart. And I think they have him because
he can go back and forth between those two moods.
I wonder what Lizzo gets paid for this sort of thing,
or is she volunteering or service as Wow, I just
(08:56):
have nothing to say
I thought that Biden has been making regular calls to
former President Obama to talk about the election. Well, we
actually got our hands on a recording of their last call.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
