“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ‘The Pulse of the Nation,’ the place to hear it here first. Yesterday ‘Morning Joe’ was off the air and we honestly hoped it would never return. We have the same sentiments for anyone who ever articulated harm for Trump, even to the point of incarceration for life with no possibility of parole. I volunteered to serve in the military to defend the Constitution, and anyone who believes in the lies that the Fake News and the government spews is no less my enemy that I fought to the death when I wore the uniform. That is my opening, so what do you say we welcome one of our favorite guests, Madam Shylock? Welcome to ‘Pulse,’ the most-watched information show in its time slot.”
“Thank you, Henry, for the warm and informative introduction.”
“You’re welcome, I’m sure. So, tell us: what’s the news from your neck of the woods?”
“This last weekend I was honored to be one of the judges for a beauty contest at the pond across the street from where I live.”
“That sounds rather interesting; I’ve never been a judge for a beauty contest. Was it fun?”
“More like a lot of pressure; I mean, they all look alike.”
“What do you mean?”
“One lady frog kind-of looks like any other lady frog, if you know what I mean.”
“I don’t but I’ll take your word for it. Tell us what you see in Trump’s future, if you would.”
“I would for $100.”
“But you’re my featured guest.”
“Yes, I am and if you’ll fork over $100, I’ll answer your question.”
“You got me. Here.”
“Thank you. Trump will win, unless, of course, there’s some kind of ‘Bird Pandemic’ or some other such nonsense and Martial Law is enacted so the election will be indefinitely postponed for ‘the good of Democracy.’ Nothing but more lies.”
“Then what?”
“Registered Republicans will be targeted to stay at the nearest J-6 gulag, that’s what. They’ll remove any naysayer political blog. A new industry will emerge, employing a million to guard many more millions.”
“Tell us what a ‘naysayer political blog’ is.”
“The ‘Geller Report,’ ‘Breitbart,’ ‘The Post & Email,’ and ‘Jihad Watch,’ or any blog that would ask, ‘Who would you choose to watch your back, Trump or Biden?’”
“The ultimate rhetorical question if there ever was one.”
“Thank you. I’ve one last statement, if I may.”
“That’s what I paid for.”
“Aren’t you cute? Very well, here it is. I see paratroopers jumping out of perfectly good airplanes yelling, ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’”
“Touché. And that’s all the time we have and so, on behalf of Madam Shylock [“Fortune Teller” (2:41)], this is Henry wishing all of you a goodnight: Goodnight.
“Good show. Oh, you brought me a can of worms. Thank you.”
[That was a good question, don’t you think? If you had the choice, which one would you want watching your lemonade stand, your house while on vacation, or your back in a firefight? Trump [“Justice for All” (2:24)] or Biden?]
