Last week’s stunningly bad debate and a few shocking Supreme Court rulings have rapidly taken the 2024 Presidential Race into relatively unprecedented waters. We’ve assembled the CTH election unit of reporter Dave Weigel and analyst Josh aka Ettingermentum to survey the state of the race, Joe Biden’s quickly diminishing outlook, and potential surprise outcomes that may lay ahead. Plus, key tips and tricks to master your playthrough of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

the Exxon ruling is real like ripping the copper wiring out of the wall hour lol. You know how the FTC isn't doing anything about robocalls? that's going to be everything now. Have fun!

etienne

oh also kinda nice to put together a guy who spent his time on the trail going like "welll I'm talking to some Concerned Parents from Wisconsin and the Trans Bathroom issue could come into the balance this season" and a guy who spent like 17 articles about how badly the Trans Bathroom Warriors keep losing their elections

BAYLE! VILE BAYLE!

This is going to be an all-time great episode

Is this episode of Chapo trap house podcast spoiler free

The permanent oligarchic autocracy is now official and not just a vibe

When's the real beltway garage coming back?

Was hoping ettinger would come on after the last week

raph4603

Welcome back Weigel

Ozzie

Give us the Kamala DLC you cowardly Dems

Josh O'Shields

Frank Biden is Joe but wider I hate it

JD Nonce

I’m going to listen to this sitting in my Nissan, nude, waiting in line at a Wendy’s drive thru

Max Headroom

One had a stroke and the other turned out to be Asian Matt Gaetz so

Ryan Carey

Keep Ettingermentum coming back!

Zach H.

Joe is currently in the Oval office holding a cardboard sign CAN PREZ HAZ IZE KREAM?

Mac daddy

I still say Weigels name the exact way Trump did that one time. "Dave WHYgel, who is this guy? Very unfair, fake reporter"

Bobi Jon-son Kenobi

Sick Kingdom Hearts reference in the title. No doubt Felix came up with it

Michael

Can NVDA just buy us already

Evan Pitkin

May Biden incinerate all that divides and distinguishes.

C. Ries

Joe Biden looks like a Fromsoft NPC at this point, fair enough

Kompy

Been waiting on my slop all day and folks, I'm eating good rn

Shane-A112

chunks of dead DNC in the slop fo the week

Cooper Rogan

I can't beat any of the giants in the first area of elden ring

Ranni

Make sure you all sign the Mohg apology letter

William

Just switch out trump’s Diet Coke for full strength Coke already and kill that pos

Antonio Kaisen

I'm only 4 minutes in I hope this whole episode keeps up the Elden Ring schtick

Olivia Kali

Glad that the boys are pro-summoning

Charles Calvert

Does Felix support my reliance on arcane/bleed build or am I not a real guy now?

Cumtickles

Dress, Check. One Gallon of Lube, Check. Fuck-Machine-5000, check. Giant 12 inch black dildo, check. Guys I’m ready to listen to my bi- weekly Chapo 😎

wolfgang

Felix needs to clear his throat before the show. The milky gargle is supremely disgusting.

Ari

The intro had me cackling

Swintronix

Oh, so it's just brain freeze?

Travis Gabe

The Ettingermentum and Weigel combo. Hell yeah

Zach H.

It’s probably the only way they can get him to take his meds. Like hiding a dog’s meds in a hunk of Velveeta.

Arjun Jayaraman

Great episode. But when did they talk about the Supreme Court?

Gabe

If Biden resigned today, can't Kamala just run as the incumbent? What am I missing?

Ivan Lopez

She’s goofy as hell and the Biden family probably still hate her after she went after Biden at the debates in 2020.

Ivan Lopez

Biden would make a great Finger Reader Crone.

claus_mc

I'm holding out for the return of the king

Heretic

Mimic tear can't help, Joe's build is garbage and I highly doubt he has the mind to call it anyway. He could summon phantoms, but can you imagine how much HP that would give Trump?

Oliver

Ettingermentum’s radio voice is very improved, much more expressive and relaxed. You love to see it!

Cory Bradfield

She didn't run in the primary. There's not an automatic entry for the incumbent; Biden still had to "win," though virtually unopposed.

steveL

I want to go home… And Edge (to this podcast)

Kollie123

That’s the fun part, they basically didn’t

Maddybird

ngl i thought from the name it was anothe d&d episode and i'd have been on board for that

Kollie123

Very bold and brave for chapo to dedicate an entire episode to sounding like the New York Times

boxfetish

She would do worse than Biden. Too many Dems and swing voters are closet racists or misogynists (or both).

Olivia Kali

I'm always listening to Hell of Presidents Chris

Man2quilla

Twitter manifesting a Kamala 2024 campaign in real time

Scoot

Unleash the Bidenseeds

Jack

I already listened to this sitting in my Subaru, clothed, waiting in line at a Wendy's drive thru

plainwrap

The Democrats really are the only ones who could panic about having no candidates with national popularity (aside from Bernie), nominate Biden as some kind of safe placeholder who passes the baton to the next generation of leaders, then spend the next 4 years NOT PASSING THE BATON so that by the time 2024 rolls around they have to wheel out the world's oldest candidate because they still don't have a replacement.

Tea for the Tillerman

Barfsack ending his support tweet with a hanging, no punctuation “joebiden.com” is one of my fav parts of this saga

Jeremy

She would be president for now but there would still need to be a nominating process for her to be the candidate. Obviously though she would be the front runner choice, most likely anyway. Theoretically the Dems could have allowed a real primary or Biden could have chosen to be a one-termer, in which case he could have finished out this term while someone else actually ran as the nominee. Which at this point may even happen.

lolwuthappend

Tv voiced journo guest was not a great fit for the pod

Jack

At this point i give Biden a 60% chance of holding on, but if he fucks up the abc interview on friday he's dead

Valerie Maybe

Waiting for a new Chapo normally= 😕 Waiting for a new Chapo while trapped in our exponentially heightening hellscape= 🤤 Right after listening to a new Chapo normally = 🤭 Right after listening to a new Chapo while in hellscape = 🥹 Right after this new Chapo = 🙂‍↕️ ❤️‍🩹 heavy Wisenheimering with a deliberately light sprinkle of expert facts and opinions. Floss Latino

J P 3

The obvious answer to the Biden's stubbornness is for the Dems to support Republican efforts to impeach and convict Biden. Preferably before the convention.

The Other Lauren

man wtf happened. i wake up the day after the debates and everyone is scrambling to be team biden just to spite the NYT? Sorry but a broken clock is right twice a day. Y'all have lost your damn minds

christoph.s

I think on July 24 when Netanyahu speaks to congress. The dem and republican leaders will step up and announce Bibi as the bipartisan candidate. And from now on all Israeli pms are officially also us president. As it was always meant to be.

Kollie123

I’m not scrambling to defend Biden, he’s a piece of shit and the whole Democratic Party are incompetent buffoons. I’m just point out how insane and frankly basic is it is for the chapo boys to so intensely focus on Biden like the rest of the news media are while Trump and this corrupt ass Supreme Court just get passing mentions by them Maybe when Trump wins and he personally sends in US troops to help Israel finish the job the chapo boys will finally dedicate more time for him

The Other Lauren

i have talked to 300 million of you in the past 48 hours and i'm bored of it

Kollie123

That’s funny because I’ve seen 300 million news outlets not shut up about Biden’s bad debate performance over talking about the Trump Epstein logs or how the Supreme Court is fucking is all over, and I’m kinda bored of it…

Of course

"dont tell ruth bader ginsberg to resign, its fate - dare i say The Will of God? - that we are privileged to witness such fortitude in the face of advancing age... and anyway its all trumps fault"

Zen Ben

Better political analysis than both the NYT and WaPo. I'm glad that they are offering real political education for their young fans. Weigel is a DC legend and Ettengermentum is the progressive inheritor of Ezra Klein's beat.

Of course

"agency capture" is already a thing, business + lawfirms are currently in the revolving door with agencies and congressional committees... i guess this reflex ("decision") is another tool to make sure the right people get what they need from govt... also, now the judges and their staffs are directly part of the grift

Patrick Banks

Wasn’t Rectenwald the guy who sued Amber for calling him Rectumwald?

MEAT CLOWN

Admitting to using a bleed build in 2024 is like admitting to being a diaper fetishist

Michael S. Judge

Biden keeps waking up with pennies on his eyes and flying into a rage while Brett McGurk tries to explain Continuity of Government

Mountain Dew Or Crab Juice

What can unburdened be, what has been unburdened can be. What has been unburdened can be, unburdened by what unburdened has been.

William

Sorry, I’m confused by your train of thought. Talking about Trump and the supreme court is going to do.. what exactly?

tabbyswipe

Joe needs to get some scadutree fragments FAST

Fuck it Tony Evers for Prez

manbob

Biden definitely does not have 60 vigor

Ardy Rezv

Weigel is a plant. They had him cover “progressive” issues and he crapped all over them post 2016. He sucks.

Ardy Rezv

Her dying was one of the funniest days of my life.

Hilary is Pant-suited Syphilis

The Eli Cash from the Royal Tenenbaums moment from the libertarian candidate would have two definitive reactions, one from people who experimented with psychedelics, who would have a flashback of a traumatic/awkward moment where they uttered those words while on psychedelics in an interaction with a square, or squares who would think “what kind of way is that to act?”

christoph.s

Yes but from then on more official, with a crowning ceremony, where Ben Shapiro the pope of the Jews puts the crown on Bibis head. Followed by antizionist Jews dropping to their knees and handing in their Star of David necklace, or their hats, and being sent to gtmo for antisemitism .

BigBoto

As an American who has actually lived in South Korea for years, the periodic freak-out about someone eating dog will never not be hilarious, glad Felix knows what's up

Dick Waglin

Felix is pro dog eating. Bold stance

C. Ries

Biden needs to build around Arcane

Ardy Rezv

Wait is the criticism that the boys don’t talk about Trump and republicans enough. You new here 🤣? Or maybe you just have Trump derangement syndrome. They talk about Trump all the time. Go check the episodes before the debate lmfao. If you want orange man bad content may I suggest pod save?

Ardy Rezv

They knew that battle is lost baby girl. When that hag Ruth dropped dead days like this were inevitable. They are making fun of our terrible president who is in office right now. Go watch msnbc and get your rocks off to wall to wall Trump talk.

Ardy Rezv

It sets a terrible precedent for whistleblowers and journalist but thank god Julian is free. If you didn’t support his release and charges that Trump brought against him being dropped then you’re not a real leftist. Just a Hillary bot.

Frank Lee Dontcare

They don't talk about more destructive actors? Oh you mean just for this episode? How is talking about the reelection of genocide Joe not that exactly?

Frank Lee Dontcare

I'd imagine they'll have on more relevant guests on a future episode. The ruling just came down. Pipe down sparky.

Frank Lee Dontcare

That's what gets me about commenter's in here like Sparky. You've got multiple generations that have walked by the fact that their state perpetuated,, or they themselves were beneficiaries of the political economy, of a global holocaust to turn the world into a workcamp for their quality of life, but the highest court confirming the head of state is a above the law is a bridge too far?

Valerie Maybe

Duh! Blazing Saddles ending we all make AI strawmen for ourselves to bot a steady stream onto Facebook/IG/“X” of how terrified we are about… the election/all OTUS’s whatever meanwhile we all start going outside and slowly we all begin to have a friend or two If we could do that… The rest is easy. We don’t need representative democracy anymore but we should deep fake it until they are all dead. Same with the stock markets corporate media etc etc

Lucas with the lid firmly secured

Eating dog makes no sense because you had to feed it meat in the first place just to get shitty predator meat in the end. A pig will turn vegetable scraps into bacon.

Petrorenminbi

Biden could be in a coffin on Election Day and they’d wheel him into the precinct in Delaware to vote for the cameras. He’s not going anywhere. Until he does, I guess

Jack

I live in Pennsylvania. I cannot vote for Biden this November due to his Gaza "policy". I will grit my teeth and vote for any other Democrat, excluding Fetterman. Make of that what you will.

Jennifer Wiren

Harris speaks like the titles for shoegaze songs.

These guys are morons. Bad run of guests.

Tim O'

On the 4th of July, Kamala will be visited by three talking coconut trees

I’m bad at lore so I assumed the hornsent were a colonized people and supported them. Oops

Damen Irving

It’s American as our 51st state—Saudi Israelia

Gant Diede

Great ep, felt like a classic. In the past this would've been a classic Matt ep, hope hes doing better.

Josh Tarpley

my two GOATs on one episode???????

the Minneapolis Kid

The "meat" can be really shitty animal protein like fish cleanings, feathers, all of the stuff that even the chinese won't eat even if it made their cock bigger and harder.

Mfusion

The fact that it wasn't mentioned makes me wonder if I'm misremembering this: Harris dropped out of the 2020 primaries *before voting began* ...like so unpopular she didn't even wait to see if she got votes.

Joan Guenther

not American but living on the other side of a very long undefended border dealing with our own right wing of grift and manic threat have to say your country is looking wacko but not the usual impressive version of wacko more the horrifying psychopathic version with AR-15s … utterly reckless …

absoluteboi

kamala sucks and this joke has gotten old

Of course

acknowledge the other malicious actors, Biden being a principal one, etc... its a matter of fact, and one that chapo has made its name on, that there is no material or political difference between overt fascists and the liberals who enable and empower them

Doug Cartel

The bidens are bunkered down, jill is feeding the most lethal multivitamins she knows to her sleeping adult children and in-laws, Biden has a pistol

Matthew

Post of the day

absoluteboi

it's completely incoherent logic, kamala has virtually the same unfavorability rating as joe biden

Florida Woman Podcast

Mashallah in my caliphate all those who speak aloud about video games shall be stoned

A wish, a curse, either way it's coming true 🙌

Chris T

Canada sucks

bloomtronzero

Monkey's paw: biden steps down, the party pokemon goes-to-the-phone and gives us 2016.

C. Ries

Don’t knock it till you try it

philfinn

Nice Pilkingtonesque use of "squoze"

Laurel

RFK Jr is our Connor Roy

K H

My advice to Biden would be to enact summary executions as official duty of the office. Start with anyone on the Supreme Court with ties to Jan 6th or what ever. Then same for Congress and Trump. Literally a get out of jail free card they handed him.

K H

Genocide a surprisingly strong issue for Americans.

K H

A malnourished dog. Yum. There are reasons certain behaviors are unusual and thus become taboo. I understand eating a tiger or bear because you are stunting on them as a stupid frail ape, but why a dog? Of course all meat consumption is evil, but to eat a dog you are really trying. Even a cat is like...ok they are kind of like racoons as city wildlife, dog just makes 0 practical sense.

K H

I absolutely did not understand that ending.

Greasy_Jones

well yes he is very old but did you know that trump!!! would be even older!!!

Michael Barbarich

Can you blame him? I wouldn't want to deal with this shit either

More Human than Human

“...Ahh, it's over... ...My Sun...it's setting... ...It's dark, so dark...” - Joe Biden

That’s Crazy

One stop shop of 1/4 of my current interests nice

Jon Clark

3? That's not even mass murder. If Biden weren't so feeble, I'd bet he's do it. But, alas...

Blair Rancich

I'm more and more of the opinion that the sicker Biden gets, the more enthusiastic about him I am. Trump wins, he seems spry enough to last 4 years. Biden limps across the finish line? Both of them are probably out of our lives before 2028.

Whucko Jaang

I just realized this is The View with personality, good opinions and no visuals.

K H

Literally just pick a dozen soy operators. Don't even need to be commandos actually. One drone operator could do it all.

@ByTheBaeram

I’m probably alone in this but wouldn’t mind that Kamala unburdened quote in every intro lmao

Agent Grange

Obviously fuck RFK Jr. but let's be honest here. The whole eating a dog thing isn't the silver bullet they think it is, if anything undecided voters will see him do that and think "Oh, he's wordly. He's not afraid to sample the local cuisine."

Dustin Sparks

Nothing made my heart drop into my stomach more than when Felix said that Trump winning reelection wouldn’t be the end of the country. I love you guys but you have a… record with predictions.

Jameson .

Felix is an oracle wym

Warbs

Great lineup, great ep.

Kevin

Best satire so far, I have to say. A bunch of C-list shit-libs discussing internal court politics in light of a brain-dead emperor was fire! Loved the wonderful bit of self-gaslighting when one of the characters said that "the more people knew about Biden the more they liked him," and that Biden has a had a relatively uncontroversial presidency. The perfect matter-of-fact delivery and tone are what sold it for me. The last bit , though, about how the adult thing to do is just accept day-drunk Kamala as the steady hand on the wheel in the face of burgeoning global catastrophe, was fucking cherry! Death of Stalin levels. Hats off to the masters, mates!

Z

I know, i wish they had you on to talk about doing epic leftist praxis instead!

Kevin

Nah, introducing educational material would have ruined the extemporaneous and natural atmosphere of the act. Never over-develop the piece: let the notes play naturally.

Reece Coren

great episode now i have to go listen to the donna brazille minion book one

etienne

alltimer episode

Matelda

Hillary Clinton is the only person ever to lose to Donald Trump.

Matelda

Trump may win and the country may "end," but if that's the situation Joe Biden isn't stopping it.

Matelda

We can never find out what both futures hold, but i am literally terrified of Joe Biden's state department getting another 4 years. I have never seen anything like it.

Matelda

It's not a joke, we all love the police now.

Matelda

Before Joe Biden was VP he had an even more embarrassing past at running for president.

Zen Ben

... yet you're paying money for the 'C-listers', dumbass. You are an ignoramus who needs to STFU.

Jon Lyons

I wonder how Booty Wipes is doing

etienne

what about Kai lol

Dark Belden

Trash episode. Messmer wasn’t that hard. Do better Mr. Chapo.
