Hammer and Nigel.
David Stefanoff (0:01)
Do you believe these characters?
SPEAKER_3 (0:02)
They're weird of us.
David Stefanoff (0:03)
So let's rock it!
Nigel (0:06)
What's going on? My name is Nigel Jason Hammer, right over there, with the whole big UN thing going on in New York right now. President Trump and President Xi from China meeting today in person.
AI expected to be a big topic between those two. But what I really want to talk about is this footage of Donald Trump showing the president of China, President Xi, and the auto pen portrait of Joe Biden in that long hallway at the White House.
Hammer (0:41)
If you think we're making this up, go to our Twitter account right now, at Hammer and Nigel, ex Twitter, whatever you want to call it. We've retweeted the video. Like before the two most powerful men in the world sat down and talked about global dominance and AI.
Trump took him on a tour and they stopped and laughed at the Joe Biden auto pen portrait on the wall of presidents.
Nigel (1:10)
There's this long hallway outside of the White House, and it has all the president's portraits, all of them. And the only portrait that is not of an actual president of the United States, it's just of the auto pen referring to Joe Biden's auto pen of the executive orders and all the pardons and stuff.
Hammer (1:35)
I mean, it is an accurate portrayal of who the president was.
Nigel (1:38)
Yes, of course.
And the thing is, this isn't the first time Donald Trump has shown the auto pen portrait to a head of state. And President G starts laughing, by the way. Like, they did it to that lady from Japan. She had to put her... I think she put her hand over her mouth.
So she thought it was so funny. That's where I'm taking away from this whole thing.
Hammer (2:10)
President G doesn't look like a wacky kind of guy.
Nigel (2:15)
No, they're not wacky in China at all.
Hammer (2:18)
No, especially not him. But the fact that he's openly laughing at it right there, knowing for four years he had to, I guess, work with or boss around Joe Biden and or the auto pen.
And now President Trump and President G are openly laughing and mocking it.
Nigel (2:40)
G points at it. He's like, Oh, yeah, you got that right.
Hammer (2:46)
Oh, it's fantastic. Go to our Twitter.
Nigel (2:50)
I know I'm not going to apologize. I did say sorry, but no, I'm not going to apologize. I think it's hilarious.
Hammer (2:57)
You know what? I think the best person to talk about this meeting between President Trump and President G and pointing at the auto pen, the best person that could break all of this down. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now exclusively on The Hammer and Nigel Show, AI.
Joe Biden.
SPEAKER_6 (3:20)
Hey, it's me, you know, Joe, Joe, Joe Pesci. Anyway, I know both of these guys.
And the thing to remember is, you know, um, I forgot.
Hammer (3:39)
OK.
SPEAKER_6 (3:40)
Anyway, I have to go poop. Oh, too late. Oh, I buy in.
Hammer (3:48)
Wait, I buy in. That's not how you're supposed to end it. It's supposed to be out, Joe.
Hey, I buy in and out.
Nigel (3:59)
Oh, man, I might puke. Oh, that's great.
Hammer (4:06)
Well, if you haven't puke yet, Nigel, get ready. I've got a story that might just put you over the top.
Nigel (4:13)
OK.
Hammer (4:14)
Chris Christie, considering running for president in twenty twenty eight.
Nigel (4:18)
For God's sake.
Hammer (4:20)
Now, look, I will always have a little soft spot in my heart for Governor Chris Christie, because he's the one that took on Nevada and the gaming lobbyists and made sports betting legal all around the country.
Nigel (4:34)
That's right. He kind of initiated it.
Hammer (4:36)
He went to the Supreme Court in New Jersey, won. And then all the other states jumped in line. So I will always have a little soft spot being the degenerate that I am for Chris Christie. But there's a better chance of Clay Aiken becoming the MMA champion than Chris Christie becoming the president of the United States. Let's not kid ourselves here.
He's weighing all of his options.
Nigel (5:02)
Is that some sort of joke like they're weighing?
Hammer (5:07)
No, the joke would be if I said he's running. Not for president, just running.
Nigel (5:12)
Hey-oh!
Hammer (5:14)
Chris Christie says that his wife needs a little bit more intel on whether or not she's going to allow him to run for president.
