Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of the Zyder Cut. Everyone's talking about it on social media. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. The Zyder Cut of Justice League. Zach Zyder. Yeah, Zach Zyder. I'm Jack O'Brien. That's Miles Gray. This is what is trending this Monday afternoon. The RNC is underway. It's interesting. It's new in that Trump is speaking constantly.

Speaking every day. Every day he's going to have a little time to do some material he can work on. It's going to be pretty cool. It's like he's emceeing an open mic night more than being the main attraction. Usually it's supposed to be a build-up. I mean, he had some really dope openers before he took the stage. I mean, I'm just going to play a couple bars before some of these other GOP emcees stepped on the stage to, you know, just

show out. And by that, I mean, say all kinds of racist bullshit or just whatever your fear is, get ready for the mongering. This one, this is an interesting one. This is just a random attack on Joe Biden. We love both mother and child, but

where Joe Biden is hiding in the dark, waiting to take the lives of our unborn babies. Okay. Uh-huh. Okay. That's fine. I mean, it paints a picture for sure. Yeah, 100%, where it kind of already looks like Joe Biden anyway,

hiding in the dark. Right, right. So another one, but just that whole rhetoric, like Biden as the snatcher of unborn souls, like that's the level, like pretty soon they're going to have doctored photos of him and Baphomet together. Like that's the only way this goes. Another one, someone lightly letting their racist show while talking about the great

history of North Carolina. North Carolina is home of the Underground Railroad and two of our greatest abolitionists. Frederick. Okay. Whoops. Up, up, up. Whoops. Yeah, that was another one.

And then I just want to also say, Mike Pence gave a really great, just, again, the real, this is when it got hot. This is when we started seeing okay wu-tang's about to go on because if capadonna just went on okay then we got maybe 45 more minutes and then wu-tang will come out so mike pence comes out the capadonna of this whole uh ku klux klan or white house clan uh this is and this was his intro president

donald trump for four more years and with your continued support and with god's help we're gonna make america great again again oh thank you all very that's how it's done because the man controls the crowd how do you linguistically take that apart make america great again and with god's help yeah it's it seemed like each part was the end of the sentence so people were like yeah is this is this where we clap so then you would have to say that america then fell yet again right the presidency. Right. Because if we were in the process of making America great again,

we made it great, shit fell apart, and we're acknowledging the need for it to be great again. Yeah. Joe Biden. It was great, and then Joe Biden was hiding in the darkness. Give everybody coronavirus.

Take your babies. Take your babies. Give them China flu. And the next thing you know, they're going to be wearing wigs and stuff. Being like, Mom, I want to get a tattoo under my eye. I'm into this Tekashi 69 or something like that. Not even down with real hip hop anymore. You hate to see it.

The other thing is Trump just came out. These are all from Aaron Ruppar, who is always like the master of clipping out these fantastic soundbites from any given conservative gathering. And this is another one where Trump just out of nowhere, his the way he describes this tweet, he says, nobody, not a single soul. Then Trump says this. I would say, well, 2016 2016 how special was that evening was that one of the great that was one of the great evenings but i mean okay sure it was one of it was one of the great evenings i remember i basically drank a pint of hennessy to my face the second i was like okay it's a wrap bye goodbye and then i had to go to ziggy marley's house the next day for work wow that was the most surreal shit well no it was like work bro i didn't i had to go to ziggy marley's house the next day for work wow that was the most surreal

shit well no it was like work bro i didn't i was not wanting to go there i'm not necessarily a huge ziggy for no shade to him but i'm not necessarily like following ziggy on tour but it's like one of those moments like coming off one of the most just you're like oh wow we're going there as a country and then like ziggy marley's like my new vegan cookbook and i'm like sure man thanks i needed this little bit of positivity yeah yeah that was a great night it feels it's just interesting because the sound of like five people clapping is socially distanced very responsible but it sounds more pathetic than I feel like nothing would. Oh yeah. But,

but he does like, he is incapable of having any sort of, like he needs another human being to like bounce off of. He needs the right. Am I right? Jack? I mean, you,

you and I both nodding, smiling, the great performers, us included Donald Trump included. We just need the vibe. We need the vibes to keep the machine going yeah all right so the rnc is trending that's a that's a brief little tour through yeah uh of what we've gotten so far well a monkey is trending because of the rnc

also because the president mentioned barack obama and allegedly someone from the crowd yelled out monkey as to describe Barack Obama. And he's like, oh, come on. Only in North Carolina. And then like kept it moving. I don't know. Like there's a lot of some people are trying to say he said they said spy gate. It's like the green needle thing. It's tough to say what he's saying.

But Trump clearly thought he was saying monkey because of his response right like he wouldn't tell people to be nice if they said spygate whether it's true or not it doesn't change anything because like we're not going to find ourselves in a place where we're more shocked by the president's racism right uh and even if it was spygate yeah great like another just fallacy conspiracy to try and justify that he needs to make America great again. Again. For the fourth time now. I mean, it is like bordering on self-parody

that that is there. Make America great again, again. Dude, like, because if you said, yo, bring Jon Snow back from the dead again. Again. You're like, motherfucker, wait, you brought him back to life, and then he died, and now you're saying you fucked up that chance you already you brought him back to life and then he died and now you're

saying you fucked up that chance you already got bringing him back to life that you need to bring him back to life again again mm-hmm i don't really i don't fuck with this okay what was uh melisandre okay you know what i mean like you got your first chance okay and now now we're doing too much again and again why did they bring him back again? Again? I don't know. Who cares? No real reason. I mean, that's when things really went off the rails for me. I was like, D.B. Weiss, he's in trouble.

You're paying yourself into a corner with this one. I saw it coming from a mile away. Speaking of things that I feel like the mainstream Democrats are expecting, like, now we got him. I feel like the mainstream Democrats are expecting, like, now we got him. I feel like just the combination of, like, we're heading into the homestretch

of the presidential election, and as Kellyanne Conway announces she's leaving, we talk about it on tomorrow's episode, but I can totally see them like being like and the coup de grace kellyann conway has come out in opposition to trump we got him i feel like can't you see that being like in the deals they cut with these people it's like okay jeff flake which brings us to our next thing jeff flake and you know he's on a list with like two dozen other senator republican senators who are riding with biden now uh we're siding with biden uh where it's like could you imagine if it really was that

sort of one-dimensional superficial where it's like all right thanks jeff flake you're now secretary of state um ellianne conaway fantastic you're secretary of education like jesus uh and finally zoom outage yeah you hate to see it. Yeah, this morning, it was out. And like, you know, we live in a Zoom-based economy now. So everything, like, people were just being like, what's going on? We need the Zooms. And apparently, they said it was like their users were unable to, quote, authenticate to the zoom website and unable to start and join zoom meetings and webinars.

And they finally fixed it after 10, 10 a.m. Pacific time. So, so like one o'clock. So yeah, these coast got nothing done this morning. God,
