It is time believe your worries outside and laugh with
4
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:16.839
us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with Trey Trendholm.
5
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:24.640
Today got a big show to start the week coming up.
6
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.120
Trey has a big surprise. It's such a surprise. He
7
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:32.280
won't even tell me about it, not one single thing,
8
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:38.840
no hint, no single word, clue, no nothing. I'm both
9
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.520
intrigued and terrified. That is coming up inside the Treehouse today,
10
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.560
So don't miss that. But we need to start with
11
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.799
one of the more shocking developments in the news cycle
12
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:56.520
over the weekend, and that is I can't believe I'm
13
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.240
saying this out loud. I'm not making this up. In
14
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.240
case you missed it, did President Trump calls Sea Span
15
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.760
under a fake name John there?
16
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.200
And you have look you have this is the worst
17
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:12.239
decision you ever have in your life. Practically, Jack and
18
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:16.040
Jacksicana agree with me, right, but this is a terrible decision.
19
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.519
And you have Hakeem Jeffries, who he's a dope, and
20
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.159
you have Chuck Schumer, who can't cook the cheeseburger of
21
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.680
course these people are happy. Of course these people happy,
22
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.719
but true Americans will not be happy. And you have
23
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.239
the woman earlier. I assume she's a woman, she's a Democrat,
24
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:36.599
but she said she's she's disgraced, she's devastated.
25
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:45.439
All right, man, there's a lot to unpack there.
26
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:52.719
First of all, First of all, it is absurd. Absurd.
27
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.400
Yes, yes, it is. Whatever you're about to say. I
28
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.000
agree it's going to be absurd. But please continue to
29
00:01:58.040 --> 00:01:59.680
think Trump would call in to sea Span.
30
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.319
They don't have the ratings.
31
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.280
He's more like, must have at least a million eyeballs
32
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:06.760
before he'll go.
33
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.599
I mean he has a I mean yeah, it's not
34
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.159
like there's any morning show or anything that well except
35
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.800
for MSNBC that probably wouldn't take his call. I mean
36
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:18.400
it is, it is ratings, but he's not gonna waste
37
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.240
his time on c SPAN. And let's be honest, that's
38
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:26.879
not even that I've heard better impressions.
39
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.400
For the record, the caller there that introduced himself as
40
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:36.719
John Baron is an alias that Trump used decades ago
41
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.479
when he would call tabloids trying to insert news stories
42
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:46.199
about Donald Trump. He would pose as John Baron. The
43
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:54.080
PR guy or Donald Trump. I want to agree with
44
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:58.280
you so bad, Tray, I do, but there is a
45
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.639
level of absurdity to this that I kind of want
46
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.879
to be true. Maybe he was in a giving mood
47
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:09.800
and felt like bolstering Sea SPAN's clout slash ratings for
48
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.120
a couple of days, because ratings don't immediately go up
49
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:19.599
when someone calls in. That's after the fact, right. I
50
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.199
just I kind of want it to be true just
51
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:28.039
for the comedy of it.
52
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:33.599
I mean, it'd be nice, I mean, but it's uh.
53
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.800
I mean, he's not like Kevin Durant on Twitter, where
54
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:38.960
you know he's got alias accounts, and.
55
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.280
We don't know because there's also the question of of
56
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.759
the Obamas as monkey video that got posted and the
57
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.120
White House came out AND's like, no, that was not Trump,
58
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.639
that was a staffer. We don't know who the staffer was.
59
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.560
As far as I know, they haven't named that staffer.
60
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.680
But then like two days later, the Press Secretary says, hey,
61
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.439
every thing that the president posts on truth socials one
62
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.080
hundred percent him. Now, granted she was referring to a
63
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.000
different matter that he had posted on, so you really
64
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.639
don't know, which is kind of the fun of it.
65
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:17.199
And again, if this were something that that had ratings,
66
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:22.680
I would, you know, really give it a thorough thinking about.
67
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:28.199
But it just se Span is beneath Trump. Yeah.
68
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.160
Se Span is typically where you got more of a
69
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:31.360
baba booie call.
70
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.040
In, right.
71
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:32.759
You know.
72
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.439
That's now, if this had happened, if this had happened
73
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.720
on Fox and Friends, I don't know if there'd really
74
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.639
be any debate to this. Plus I'm pretty sure Fox
75
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.680
would know that it was him or not ahead of time.
76
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.439
Yeah, I feel like they'd be able to verify.
77
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.040
Yeah, so one more time, let's just let's just listen
78
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.040
to it, you know. And I'm not even focusing on
79
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:55.920
the content. I mean, he's he's calling into c Span
80
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.759
talking about the uh SO the SCOTUS ruling on the
81
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:05.920
tariffs that was deemed illegal sixty three. So let's just
82
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.319
listen to the voice. Because when I first heard it yesterday,
83
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.439
I was like, or on Sunday, I was thinking that, yeah,
84
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:13.680
that's just that's just someone doing an impression. But I've
85
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.240
listened to it like three times now, and the more
86
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.519
I listened to it, the less sure I am as
87
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:20.839
to it not being him.
88
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.759
John there, and you have look, you have this is
89
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:28.040
the worst decision you ever have in your life, practically, Jack,
90
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.120
and Jack's gonna agree with me, right, but this is
91
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.600
a terrible decision. And you have Hakeem Jeffries, who he's
92
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.319
a dope, and you have Chuck Schumer, who can't cook
93
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.839
a cheeseburger. Of course these people are happy. Of course.
94
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:45.240
That, by the way, I think is my new favorite
95
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.759
PG insult so and so can't cook a cheeseburger.
96
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:50.040
Yeah.
97
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:54.959
Hey, I don't think I've ever heard trumpies were dope,
98
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.120
But like I said, I've heard better Trump impressions. It's funny.
99
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:07.079
Well, let's go to our residential comedian, Hello Raj. Hello friends,
100
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.240
have you heard a better Trump impersonation than this one?
101
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.759
Godfrey has the best Trump impression.
102
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:13.759
In the world.
103
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.240
How have I not seen this?
104
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:16.839
He's amazing.
105
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.720
Oh, I gotta watch that because it makes it even
106
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.600
funnier by the fact that Godfrey's a black man.
107
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:24.839
Yes, and it's it's unbelievable.
108
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.959
Do you know what Godfrey was doing Sunday morning? Was
109
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:35.279
he was he bent calling Seespan, posing as John Baron,
110
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:37.879
posing as Donald Trump on se Span?
111
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.279
Uh? I don't think he was. I think he was
112
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.000
probably busy doing show somewhere.
113
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.639
But on Sunday morning, there's no comedy clubs doing you
114
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.240
know Sunday mornings.
115
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:51.519
Right, he sleeps.
116
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.199
Until Like I've worked with him for years now, he
117
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.040
sleeps till about five pm.
118
00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:58.279
Because he goes up.
119
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.480
He takes the last spot of the comedy souf, so
120
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.480
he does like the two am spot.
121
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:09.720
All right, for this sake, just for this sake of diligence,
122
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.759
just shoot him at link to this and just say, hey, bro,
123
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:15.040
was this you?
124
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.399
So we don't think this was actually Trump?
125
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:26.079
Trey says no. I initially thought no because I, like
126
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.639
I said, just a minute ago, it sounded too much
127
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.959
like an impression. And if I'm being honest, based on
128
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.680
how he has sounded verbally on TV and stuff over
129
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:41.839
the past week, this sounds almost too tight of Donald Trump,
130
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.399
like everything's making sense in a row, whereas President Trump
131
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:50.279
is typically more stream of consciousness. Word vomit kind of
132
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.560
a thing. Like if if Trump was to actually call
133
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.439
in be like, see he's been it's me. I'm the
134
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:56.439
I feel like he would one want to say it's
135
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.759
him and then be like, yes, this is me. This
136
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.000
is a terrible ruling by this Supreme Court. And then
137
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.839
and then when he mentions cheeseburgers, then he would go
138
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.000
off into cheeseburgers, and then beef prices are down. Everyone
139
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.480
should be happy, and eventually you end up in some
140
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.240
other place that we have no idea about, whereas this
141
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.040
was a much tighter, more you know, thoroughly thought out.
142
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.079
Can can we can we play it again?
143
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.680
Yeah?
144
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.439
John Baron, and you have look, you have the words
145
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.480
decision you ever have in your life, practically, Jack, and
146
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.480
Jack's gonna agree with me, right, but this is a
147
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:34.360
terrible decision.
148
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:36.799
I like to think this part is real and that
149
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:40.960
Jack's just like the janitor in the corner. Okay, Jack agrees,
150
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:41.679
as he's mopping.
151
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:46.759
So the whole John Baron thing started in the eighties
152
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.559
when he wanted to get on the Forbes list. Ah
153
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:55.240
what he was not deemed an actual billionaire. He would
154
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.960
call Forbes as John Baron. Now what's his middle name?
155
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:01.600
I think it's John.
156
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:03.000
What's his son's name?
157
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.519
It's Baron. Yeah, we actually mentioned that a few minutes ago.
158
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.799
That so yeah, So this is Neale as Trump used
159
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:14.039
decades ago, also in part to get stories about himself
160
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.440
and the tabloids, but.
161
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.840
He also denies that he's John Baron. He says that's
162
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:19.240
not him.
163
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.879
So look, you know, I think it's fine if all
164
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.840
the presidents want to have alter egos, you know, I
165
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:27.960
mean I think so I would.
166
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:31.799
I would love to see Barack Obama's alter ego.
167
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:33.759
I haven't figured one out for him yet.
168
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:35.200
I think it would be Jay z.
169
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:42.559
I figured Biden's is like Mike Malarkey and and okay,
170
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.639
and then you know Trump is John Baron and we
171
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.759
could go back whatever. But I mean, like, I'm not
172
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:47.480
opposed to it.
173
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.600
Yeah, I just I it sounds. It sounds to me
174
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.399
like him.
175
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.799
Because nobody else uses the term John Baron, Like nobody
176
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:58.639
would know to do that.
177
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:04.039
Everybody knows that Dame. Yeah, everyone knew that, Like everybody
178
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:05.679
knows John Baron. I knew what, Trey knew it, You
179
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.120
knew it. Every news story that I've seen knows it.
180
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:12.919
In fact, just trying to put a dampener on this.
181
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:19.600
C SPAN came out after this went viral, the best
182
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.519
press c SPAN has had in at least ten years. Yeah,
183
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.200
at least since the last time Baba Booie prank called
184
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:32.240
them and instead of letting it, you know, breathe and
185
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.120
fester and get more attention on the network. They actually
186
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:38.360
came out and said, no, this definitely was not President Trump.
187
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.240
Really okay, but I don't.
188
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.320
Know what their reasoning is for that, or what their
189
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:46.000
justification or evidence is for that.
190
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.279
Again, Trump is not going to bother with c Span.
191
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.519
Really agree. I don't think you would either if it
192
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.240
And that's what I was thinking before. If this is
193
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.720
Fox and Friends, then I believe it, or I'd at
194
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.600
least come closer to leaving. And if he called it
195
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.039
Fox and Friends, he wouldn't use.
196
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:08.399
The name John Barton. I don't think. I don't know.
197
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:12.480
I think he was mad enough at the Supreme Court
198
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:14.879
to call into wherever he could call into.
199
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.960
Well, then he needs to drink called gorsicch and Clarence
200
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:23.480
Thomas and John Roberts bothering the nice lady on Sunday morning, Seaspan.
201
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:27.120
She's just trying to get through the day. She just
202
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.720
wants chicken fried steak later after the shift on a
203
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.960
Sunday afternoon, and some peace and quiet. She don't need this.
204
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:40.279
Yeah, I just I mean, he he went on the
205
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:41.840
press conference that he held.
206
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.679
It was it's kind of the same points that he
207
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:49.440
was making.
208
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.679
In this call that he was ashamed of the Supreme
209
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:55.200
Court and he was ashamed of you know, the justices
210
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:56.840
that he that he's appointed.
211
00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:59.919
Uh.
212
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.399
I think that i'd be mad too if my people
213
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:10.080
didn't do what I wanted him to do. That's pretty relatable.
214
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:12.279
Yeah.
215
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:16.279
The downside is there's no real HR Department in the
216
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.279
federal government to go to to say, hey, these people
217
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:21.519
that I hired to do this job aren't doing it
218
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:22.000
the way I.
219
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:26.120
Wanted him to. I think the Supreme Court is the
220
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:27.919
HR Department, well.
221
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:33.519
Even worse for him, while at the same time knowing
222
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.919
that the the Supreme Court said, yeah, as president, you
223
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:40.519
can pretty much do whatever you want. So they are
224
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:42.039
mixed signals here.
225
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.039
Yeah. I was pretty shocked by the decision as well,
226
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.559
because I mean, he's stacked the Supreme Court on his
227
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.840
side and they've turned on it.
228
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.200
So it's not that that is the dumbest part of
229
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.879
the liberal argument about the Supreme Court. They always yes, no,
230
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.840
he stacked it as every president does when they have openings.
231
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:06.440
Biden could have put two more in and he didn't
232
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:10.519
know he couldn't. Yes, he could, how he could actually
233
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:12.200
add two more people to the Supreme Court.
234
00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:14.080
You have to have congressional approval to that. You can't
235
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:17.639
do that. But no, he wouldn't have. Yes, there's no way.
236
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.639
He did not have both houses. There is no way. Yes,
237
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.120
And even both parties are very reluctant to get into
238
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:27.000
you know that with the Supreme Court. No, no one,
239
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.120
no one has had that kind of authority and nor
