00:00All right folks, buckle up, because today we're diving into the wacky world of American politics.
00:05Picture this, it's a heated Senate race in New York. In one corner, we have the Democratic
00:09candidate, let's call him Donnie the Democrat. In the other corner, Ricky the Republican.
00:14Now, let's just say neither of these guys was the sharpest tool in the shed.
00:18So, they're at their first big debate, live on TV. The moderator kicks things off with a simple
00:23question. Candidates? She says, what is 2 plus 2? Donnie the Democrat, eager to impress.
00:30Buzzes in first. He puffs out his chest and says, that's easy. It's 4. The crowd gives some polite
00:36applause. Then it's Ricky the Republican's turn. He leans into the microphone, looking very serious,
00:42and says, well, hold on now, it's not that simple. We have to consider the variables. Are we talking
00:47about 2 plus 2 before or after taxes? What's the corporate tax rate on that 2? And what about the
00:52carrying charges? My opponent wants you to believe it's a simple 4, but he's not telling you about
00:57the hidden costs. My answer is 3. After my proposed tax cuts, the moderator looks a little confused,
01:03but moves on. Next question. What is the capital of the United States? Donnie jumps in again,
01:09beaming. Washington, D.C. He shouts. More polite applause. Ricky scoffs. Wrong again. Everyone knows
01:15the real capital, the financial capital, the capital of capitals, is New York City, right here where we
01:21stand. My opponent wants to send our money to a swamp. I want to keep it right here on Wall Street.
01:26The crowd starts murmuring, this is getting weird. For the final question, the moderator decides to
01:31try something a bit more challenging. Alright, candidates, for your final question, can you
01:36please spell the word cat? Donnie the Democrat looks incredibly confident. He takes a deep breath
01:41and spells, C-A-T, cat. The crowd goes wild. Finally, a solid undeniable answer. Now all eyes are on Ricky
01:48the Republican. The pressure is on. He stares blankly for a moment, sweat beating on his forehead. He
01:53adjusts his tie, clears his throat, and then a slow grin spreads across his face. He leans forward and
01:58whispers into the mic. That's a very interesting question. But I believe it, as a gotcha question
02:02from the liberal media, trying to distract from the real issues. My opponent can spell cat, but can he
02:08spell job creation? Can he spell economic prosperity? No. He wants to focus on felines while I'm focused on
02:14your future. And guess who won the election? Neither of them. The moderator won, as a writing candidate.
02:18Just goes to show, sometimes the smartest person in the room is the one asking the questions.
