“We shouldn’t have taken time off” is Chas’ daily anthem to talk himself out of sleeping

I think we need to just turn off the internet for a few months.

Grr Musk did not found Tesla, he bought into it

That song interlude made me think I was watching the Chaser's War on Everything and not Planet America

That song truly was CHAS UNLEASHED!!!

Raaaaggggggeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

It just feels so ominously uncanny how cheerful you two are while describing Trumps successful steps towards dictatorship.

It’s like the prequel to Idiocracy, except much worse

Its like watching The Making of: Idiocracy.

How can you say Biden's "Trump's a threat" rhetoric is over the top? Have you not watched your own broadcaster's latest 4-corners episode?

Why don’t you talk about Project 25

So sick of having to take screen shots of all my comments because youtube/google are removing comments they do not like.

Turning you guys off now. I think you actually underestimate the danger of trump and not so secretly admire him. Disappointing!!!

The American people (namely for the positions that they either hold or have previously held) that this show gets is remarkable! And the fact that most of them keep coming back is testiment to how good this show really is!!! 👏👏👏

Awesome show best analysis I've seen! Planet America is very underrated

i recall a podcast having numerous conversations about how comedy songs aren't funny

Chas what happened to not liking comedy songs?

DUDE! 🎼“We shouldna taken time off!” 🎶 F’g BRILLIANT!! 😂😂😂 I hope you release it in the US! 🤣🤣🤣

Awesome parady song. A little too awesome... me thinks someone spent their 2 weeks off to arrange everything to happen so the lyrics would fit

Awesome song, love the rap up

As feedback, the music during the Archives section is mixed way too loud. I needed to rely solely on subtitles in order to understand what was going on.

Great song, Chaz. Love you.

Great hit Chaz, can't wait to listen to it on Triple J!

Chas usually checks his facts, but this slipped by. The Thomas Crooks who donated was not the 20yr old shooter but a 60 yr old man.

He was worried about having his shoes on because Trump has 2 inch lifts and even in a moment like that vanity came first.

Lmao Chaz mid show song.. the best lmao

I'm sure there's a bible verse that applies to the Orange Jesus here... something about reaping and sowing...? Maybe Trumpy should read 'his' Bible, get some pointers.

On the silly dei comments cropping up: The guest's previous answer pre-empted the issue - protocol says they must push the asset low to the ground and immediately move. That is, it doesn't matter if the service is average height, they should force the person down to around waist height to duck and run, surrounded by the service's entire group. The service isn't woke for opening up recruiting more, putting physical or similar restrictions on the service likely limits their wider capabilities - same as the army. They aren't special ops, they just have a specific skillset and operational focus as a largely police bodyguard role. We don't need to give Tuberville another branch to go after lol. P.S. Thanks for the insightful commentary on reactions to political language and also the role of guns in US politics.

I appreciate you guys covering this honestly.

Welcome back boys, and you're right, ya shoudn't have taken' time off!

omg the song 🤣 so good!!

Thanks team ❤

This was a comprehensive analysis of the current politburo in Washington

Obviously the secret service don't like him very much, not exactly hard to understand.

😂 Eventually everyone will see that Trump’s ear was hit by shrapnel 😂

Can you guys fill us in on why Kamala Harris polls so badly? I can see from here that her persona seems to lack spirit/too corporate - but is that all? And is that all it takes to lose?

Dr Dave will be furious about the comedy song....

Vote BLUE!

Chas my brother welcome back! You've been far too reasonable and quiet lately. I swear I was literally reminiscing on The Chaser and lamenting lost days, and then you light this banger up! Love ya from downunder ❤

Ah what a difference a month can make. 🌊🥥🌴

Chaz, my good fellow, would you be so kind as to investigate a report I heard on Meidas Touch that the shooter did not donate to ActBlue. Rather it was a 69 year old resident of Pennsylvania of the same name. I believe it's important to clear up as it would remove the ambiguity concerning the shooter's political allegiance. Just brainstorming but for example the shooter may have preferred Nicky Haley as candidate or maybe Trump said/did something that triggered TMC as a victim of bullying.

Loved the music

the fact that the agent was female is irrelevant to the augment you're making about the height of the agent.

7:21 W T F That’s bad especially considering Trump will probably win meaning there is only 1 way to stop him Those types of ads need to be stopped

God forbid!im sure it’s allowed but why would they want to?!

You must Thank God for saving the life of Mister President Trump

38:45 the pollsters wrong 2016, over compensated 2018& 2020, wrong again , 2022 wrong again , 2023 and early 2024 wrong again. See allen lichtman

Trump is done

Time for Planet America to interview Professor Allan Lichtman about the expected outcome of the presidential election - his methodology is highly accurate - independent of polling.

Tbh as a religious Australian watcher of this and follower of American politics i was flabbergasted by the "holiday" during arguably the most crucial juncture of American history we have ever seen! -but i forgive!!!...That start the fire parody was chefs kiss-(weird Al vibes) --The best reaction and sincere appreciation to that from me would be the dumb and dumber meme of: "and totally redeem yourself!!!" (btw Your Lloyd Christmas and we are Harry)

Why doesn't Chaz wear his MAGA hat.

Could have done without the song :(

Why are there so many Americans complaining that comments are off? Always seems fine here. Does it depend on jurisdiction?

Thank You. loved the song but don’t want to hear it again on pep.

Comments being cut

nice to see someone is focused on solutions my blokes

It is 64 years since I felt this excited about American politics and the election of a then young JFK. Yes to Kamala Harris. Yes yes yes.

I agree with the audio

Funded by Blackrock

Both sides?

Why are we listening to Australian ABC?

I heard The Daily Beans podcast talking about Trumps medical report after the shooting. Why no report put out by the RNC? Also where’s the concern about PTSD and the possible psychological effects on a sociopath- will Trump believe he is the second coming of Christ?? And lose all touch with reality? Any that he has remaining that is? Big Questions for Chas & Dr Dave in the next PEP edition. 🤔🤔 Can’t wait.

It appears that some Americans are offended by Aussies covering American politics.

Did y’all cut short the vacations?

Man the music is so distracting

After all the PEP chat on comedy songs.

24:00 Convention? Will Trumps 3rd wife show up?

Either the secret service is incompetent, or complicit.

30:42 lol a billy joel song - someone's been watching "The Boys" TV series

Why are comments disappearing?

You 2 are halfway decent but how can you let that video on project 2025 be on ABC? I used to watch sky news and love Aussie news but never again

A little bit over the top?

Why don't you move to america

12.38....secret service has 5.11 written on his socks...

you are literally reporting from the United States propaganda networks. It’s considerate you do both sides but it’s all bs. Come here investigate and then tell us what you find. Also all your videos with comments off is a bad look. Like you know you’re full of it. I won’t bother watching a video that can’t take the words on the internet, so they may be great videos. You should have the balls to defend your words or don’t bother speaking.

Scaramucci-esque

this seems like the neutrality in newspresentation the people have wanted (& want)

Any Epstein chat?

Who knows the motive?

Stop turning comments off because you’re afraid of people calling out your lies.

군인으로서 한국에서 2년을 복무했는데, 누군가 내 마술사 권리를 공개했고, 식량 비축업자로서 내가 그런 일을 하고 있다는 주장에 대해 매우 화가 났습니다. 우리는 카리브 해의 아시아 섬주민들입니다. 우리는 신과 대천사들의 총애를 받는 존재이므로 모든 일에 사기로 박수를 보내주십시오.

Can the delegates decide to swing their support behind RFJ Jr?

Love your show, but I was mentally scarred by the musical segment. You spent 68.29% of the video singing about Biden's age issues. Therefore it was biased. Just joking... but don't put me through that shit again.

Ninety-nine percent of US political commentary - even by the parties themselves - seems to be negative framing of 'those other guys.' There needs to be more articulation (by both) of what policy and legislative agenda will follow a White House win. And a lot less "the nation will be destroyed if (the others) win." I get the feeling most US citizens have lives that will be unaffected by whoever is in the Oval Office.

This show is the dumbest. It's freaking useless.

If Taylor Swift were to write an endorsement song for President Biden and VP Harris, it might sound like a empowering, upbeat anthem with a mix of pop and country influences. Here's a possible song title and lyrics: Title: "United We Rise" Verse 1: "We're standing together, hand in hand With President Biden and VP Harris, leading the way Their vision for a brighter future, guides us through the night With hope and unity, we'll shine so bright" Chorus: "We're united we rise, with love and pride With leadership that cares, we'll never divide We'll stand strong and tall, through every stormy night With Biden and Harris, we'll shine with all our might" Verse 2: "From sea to shining sea, we'll rise above With compassion, justice, and freedom, we'll fill our hearts with love We'll work together, side by side With President Biden and VP Harris, we'll never divide" Chorus: "We're united we rise, with love and pride With leadership that cares, we'll never divide We'll stand strong and tall, through every stormy night With Biden and Harris, we'll shine with all our might" This song would likely feature Taylor Swift's signature powerful vocals, a catchy melody, and a sing-along chorus, blending pop and country styles to create an uplifting and inspiring message. Please note that this is just a fictional example, and Taylor Swift's actual endorsement song (if she were to write one) might differ in terms of lyrics, style, and tone.

Your broadcasting service is absolutely horrible and biased

Boys. Is this journalism? Is it comedy? A mix? Whatever it is, it's impossible to endure. Booo.

What are you doing on the abc, you are obviously trump biased, I won't be watching you again, why didn't you also have a democratic strategist!!!!😂

This is so ridiculous!

That wasnt Trumps voice

So the former secret service agent believes there is no problem with 5 ft 6 women or men guarding a 6ft 3 man......... he won't be hired any time soon.

The fallacy of there being two sides to a one-sided story.

Great show, however, nearly 5000 views and only 12 fairly mundane comments. Makes you wonder what the others that didn't make the cut looked like.

JD said that 8 years ago BECAUSE of the media.

Watched this for the first time last night after being encouraged to watch Gruen. What a pile of shite both shows are. The ABC does for comedy and political analyses what Gina Reinhart does for wind surfing.

Second comment

These guys have a bunch to say about our politics but aren't from here? Who has talk shows in America talking trash about England ? Nobody most Americans have no idea what's going on there or care for that matter ? Your comments are offensive mind your business !! Was this the bbc ?

Australia is the best country in the world. Australians are much smarter than citizens of other countries, especially Americans. Australian TV programs have every right to use the symbols and structures of foreign countries as they please, especially during times of crisis or after national tragedies. This show is the best purveyor of foreign policy analysis ever broadcast. Australia and her citizens provided stellar support to Julian Assange in his 15-year struggle with the United States and this show provided an educational framework for that support through incisive self-analysis of the AU-UK relationship. And God-knows, I would never mock you. No never. Not ever ever. Just keep doing what you are doing.
