But hillarys win is not the biggest democratic news from yesterday because it is now being reported that the Democratic National committee was hacked by the russians. Hey, maybe the russians know where hillarys emails are. And while they were in the d. N. C. Cyber matrix this is me cybering the russians apparently Stole Opposition Research on donald trump.

The british are about to vote on whether to exit the european union. They call it the brexit, which, in america, of course is the meal between breakfast and exiting breakfast. And right now in the polls, brexiting has a sevenpoint lead over staying in the european union. And it could be even bigger than it sounds because, remember, british polls are all in celsius. But theres also happy news from the british isles.

Youre telling me i could eat 22 pounds of butter and have abs like that . Thats a miracle now, one theory hes cut. Jon hes cut, man. Stephen carpenter, man, works the core, works the core. One theory holds that the butter was buried by ancient priests as a ritual offering to the gods. And one expert says, theoretically, the stuff is still edible, but we wouldnt say its advisable. laughter coincidentally, edible but not advisable, also the slogan for slim jims. cheers and applause yes. Slim jims, it looks like hair and oil in a tube. Well, folks, longtime viewers know not advisable is my middle name. So i got some of that bog butter, and im going to eat it right here tonight.

Do you guys remember that show . cheers and applause fantastic, i loved it. Scott bakula leaps back in time into different peoples bodies in order to change history. And i saw this actual episode of quantum leap, where bakulas character, dr. Sam beckett, leaps into the body of a 50s new york cab driver and influences a very special young boy. So where you goin . A brokers meeting, new york realtors. Oh, well, you know, theres gonna be a lot of money made in real estate in the future. Really . Where . Oh, um, well, i bet there are gonna be a lot of taller buildings all around here. And, um, might even be some big glass tower right there next to tiffanys. Here you go. Come on, donald. Hello, mr. Trump. Trump . See ya. Stephen there it is cheers and applause did you hear that . He said, mr. Trump. Donald trumps rise is the fault of scott bakula.

Well, we might be able to reverse this tragedy because ive got my own quantum leapy thing right here so i can leap back and stop it from happening. You guys ready . cheers and applause okay, ziggy, set quantum leap accelerator for the year young donald trump. It worked dr. Sam beckett cheers and applause please, stephen, call me scott bakula.

Stephen i dont know its your show. Where you headed, kid . My dads office. Some day im gonna be in real estate just like him stephen okay, scott, fix the future. Well, it sounds like a good job. But, listen, kid, promise me youll never get into politics. Its a cruel business, and you couldnt handle it. beeping stephen uh oh, thats not good. Ziggy says theres an 85 chance that trump goes into politics sooner just to, show some dumb cab driver who said i couldnt handle it and hes elected president . Stephen no. Hes elected pope oh, my god stephen his god now do something. Hey, kid, you know what i think . Mexican people are really nice. Yeah, mexicans are great beeping stephen scott, no no what . Stephen now he falls in love with a mexican girl named mariela, and she ends up breaking his heart theres a 99 chance here that pope trump still builds the wall, deports all the hispanics, plus anybody named paul. Whos paul . Stephen the guy mariela left him for what should we do . Stephen what are we going to do . Do you have a mouse in your pocket, youre the one who messed this up. I dont want to tell you how to do your job, but look, its the middle of the night, nobodys around, youve probably got a crowbar in the trunk, and the east river is right over there. What are you saying, stephen . Stephen im not saying anything, scott. I got this. Look, kid, forget about real estate. Its a terrible investment. beeping stephen uhoh, scott. Now an 80 chance that instead of real estate, trump gets into bioengineering and ends up cloning dinosaurs who devour anyone who questions the word of megapope trump laughter what are we going to do . Stephen i dont know. How are you so bad at this . It was a good show, but youre terrible at this at the least, at the very least, please your cigar is not even lit stephen its illegal to smoke on stage here for petes sake, show some professionalism and try to set this thing back where it was before.

Stephen what was that like, being the baby of those guys . Were you coddled by them, or were you used as a tackling dummy . There was definitely some shenanigans, growing up. Stephen shenanigans. Shenanigans, yes. Stephen this is a family show, lets keep this clean. Im the youngest of eight brothers and i was used, like, as a wrestling dummy. I heard 11. Stephen eight boys, three girls. The girls were nice to me, the boys were abusive. Thats one of the biggest families ive heard about. Thats incredible. Stephen did they do anything to you, loving but violent . Loving but mostly traumatic. They used to put me in the dryer a lot. laughter stephen really . Yeah, they wouldnt put the heat on, but theyd put me in there and stephen just a little fluff to get wrinkles out. Now, did your parents know this was happening . Well, i think they kind of just turn a blind eye to that sort of thing. What are you going to do . Theyre going to do what theyre going to do. Stephen im not telling any tales out of school here but youre from australia. Yes. Stephen and americans have a lot of misconceptions about australia. We think its an incredibly dangerous place where everything every spider is out to get you. Is that true . Its 100 true, yeah. Stephen really, as a kid, was it like spiders and snakes and that kind of things . Lot of lot of deadly snakes a few deadly spiders, big sharks, big crocodiles. Stephen yeah . And, you know, you just got to fight your way through life. laughter stephen and even if you make it through that your brothers stuff you in a dryer at the end of it. Exactly. Stephen i understand your dad, your dad what would he do to water buffalo . I heard this story. I want to make sure ive got this right. Yeah, my mom and dad, when i was about two years old, we lived on a cattle station in the outback in australia. Stephen is that like a ranch . We call that a ranch up here . Yeah, a little more remote, i think, and a little more dangerous than a typical ranch. Stephen so tougher than an american ranch. Okay. I gotcha. Tougher than an american ranch. Stephen i got you. I dont want to offend anyone. Were in america. Stephen too late, too late. But a cattle station. Basically his job was to catch water buffalo and the way they do that is they strap tires around the front of a jeep and they drive up next to a buffalo as its running away and they knock it over and tie it up and throw it on the back of a truck. laughter . Stephen you knock it over and the buffalo goes, you got me, okay, go ahead. No, not at all. Youve got to jump out real quick and with a number of large men get on top of that buffalo and tie him up. Stephen really . Yeah. Stephen wow. Yeah. Stephen and then it gets dragged to the outback steakhouse, and then they pretty much, yeah. Stephen what do you whats the most offensive thing that americans say to someone let me get that for you. Sorry about that. Stephen i dont want you to drown in half an inch of water. Thank you, thank you, bless you. Stephen whats the most offensive thing that americans say to seem australian . Is it, you know, like, thats not a knife. Would you like a bloomin onion . That one i would say the worst is shrimp on the barbie. Shrimp on the Barbie Stephen are there not barbies down there. We definitely have barbies, but we dont call shrimp, shrimp, we call them prawns. And typically in australia we dont really barbecue prawns, most of the time people boil them. So the whole statement is ridiculous. I dont want to hear it anymore. Stephen all right, thats it. You heard it. cheers and applause its over. No more no more. Okay, well, the new movie is Independence Day resurgence how old were you when the first one came out 20 years ago . Six years old. Stephen did you guys go see it . I didnt go see it in the theater.

It comes out next friday, right . The 24th of june, the weekend before Independence Day. I dont know what the reasoning behind that is. Stephen is that australian Independence Day .
