00:00The Gaga family is going to have an interesting Thanksgiving because in this corner we have Lady Gaga who almost certainly is going to be endorsing Kamala Harris.
00:12And in the other corner we're going to have Daddy Gaga.
00:17I think he goes by Joe Germanotta but for purposes of this argument we'll call him Daddy Gaga.
00:24And Daddy Gaga has very public vocal way.
00:30He's all in for Trump.
00:31All in for Donald Trump.
00:33And explained why went on Fox and Friends this morning and had this to say about, by the way, you can hear in the way the host introduces.
00:44They know that this is an issue.
00:48Of course.
00:49Like Lady Gaga's dad endorsing Trump.
00:52They know.
00:53And he explained why.
00:54They're two vastly different people.
00:56OK.
00:57One of them is pure, you know, and he's a patriot.
01:01All right.
01:02And the other, you know, just going to say whatever she needs to say to get elected.
01:06I'm not voting for people.
01:07I mean, look, Donald, yeah, he's abrasive.
01:10OK.
01:11But, you know, he's a patriot and his policies are there.
01:15All right.
01:16They're on target for me anyway.
01:17Our cities.
01:18I mean, it's been it's an invasion as far as I see it.
01:22I mean, we don't have secure borders anymore.
01:24There's no more illegal illegal immigration.
01:27All right.
01:29My clientele, my customers, you know, the ones that used to come once a week.
01:34Now they come once every three weeks.
01:36I think what is really, really interesting about this is he has separated Donald Trump, the person from Donald Trump's policies.
01:45I think that's really, really interesting.
01:47You might you might say, why is Joe Germanotta being interviewed on TV other than the fact that he's Lady Gaga's father?
01:55He is in New York somewhat of a celebrity.
01:58He owns a very popular restaurant.
02:00You heard him referring to his clients at his restaurant, Joanne.
02:04Very popular, successful restaurant.
02:06And so there's a reason that you could talk to him in New York about what the conditions in New York and about politics.
02:14But he was introduced as Lady Gaga's dad.
02:17Right. So clearly pretty obvious.
02:19Yeah. Now, remember what you said about Thanksgiving?
02:22I mean, by then, hopefully by then we know who won the election.
02:27If we don't. Yeah.
02:29Don't count your chickens. Don't count chickens.
02:31Guys, can we be real here?
02:33The whole reason he went on Fox News today is so the Republicans can pin Lady Gaga against her dad.
02:39That's the only reason why he was on.
02:41I get your point about he's kind of a New York celebrity, but this wasn't local news.
02:45This was national news.
02:47And they're trying to point the finger at Gaga and say, oh, we know you're a big you were a big Biden Harris supporter.
02:53You performed at the inauguration.
02:55Well, your dad feels the complete opposite way that you do.
02:59And I think it's a little ironic because we've heard a lot of people talking about, oh, why do we care about celebrities opinions?
03:05Why are these people weighing in on politics?
03:08I mean, if you feel like that, why would you have Lady Gaga's dad?
03:13What the heck's going on there? You need better scotch tape.
03:15What the heck is going on there?
03:17What kind of set do you have there, man?
03:19How did that happen?
03:21What kind of cheap?
03:23You couldn't give him at least some crazy?
03:25I don't know what he did. I'm not taping it to the wall.
03:28What the heck's going on with you and Jacob?
03:31You guys left me alone in New York to put this all up, man.
03:35You chose to go.
03:37First of all, you chose to go.
03:38Wow.
03:39That was embarrassing, Jacob.
03:40Wow.
03:41I'm not a mechanic, man.
03:42You know, I'm putting it up with tape.
03:44What can I say?
03:45Wow.
03:46Hi, TMZ.
03:47My name is Brandon Lance Guernsey from Sherman Oaks.
03:48I think it's a really interesting point because they kind of did the same thing with Taylor Swift, pitting Brittany Mahomes against Taylor Swift, knowing that they're besties and seeing that contrasting opinion.
03:59I think at the end of the day, though, really being introduced as Lady Gaga's dad is not the best look for Donald Trump's candidacy, really.
04:09At the end of the day, comparing the two, Lady Gaga's dad, Daddy Gaga, dare I say, is a restaurant owner versus Lady Gaga is a multi-entrepreneur and huge star.
04:20So whether Daddy Gaga's weight holds more weight than Gaga's weight is up to the people.
04:27Well, it may be that neither do, but speaking of looks, that is some serious hair gel.
04:34What the—
04:35I mean—
04:36Really?
04:37I mean—
04:38No, I liked it.
04:39I thought it was really impressive.
04:40We have Babcock in this office.
04:41You can't talk about anybody else's hair gel.
04:42That was pretty serious hair gel.
