Male voice: And now, a message from the president of the United States, Joseph R. Biden.
[Cut to Joe Biden speaking on a podium]
[cheers and applause]
Joe Biden: Hello. Good evening. Fellow Americans, how’s everybody doing? What’s cooking? What’s good? How are you doing? How was everybody’s summer? Mine was bad. Not Cuomo bad but definitely not Afghanistan good. Everyone keeps harassing me about that drone strike. But on the bright side, I went the entire summer without falling down the stairs once. It’s pretty darn good. And hey, Broadway’s back. That’s exciting, right? [cheers and applause] So was the Taliban. So, I win some, lose some.
Unlike our last president, I try staying out of the limelight. I’m like an oil change, you don’t think about me unless you absolutely have to.
Right now, America needs me. Democrats need me. Got a major of structure bell on a historic socio gen, it had to get past. So now, I’m bringing together the democrats like Voltron so they’re all different colors but fundamentally, the robots. On one side, we have the moderate democrats, Kyrsten Sinema from Arizona.
[Cut to Kyrsten Sinema standing beside Joe Biden]
Kyrsten Sinema: What do I want from this bill? I’ll never tell. Because I didn’t come to congress to make friends. And so far, mission accomplished.
Joe Biden: Is it just me or does she look like all the characters from Scooby Doo at the same time? And another pain in my keister the de facto president of the United States, Joe Manchin from West Virginia.
[Cut to Joe Manchin standing beside Kyrsten Sinema]
Joe Manchin: Yeah, that’s right. I’m a democrat from West Virginia. If I vote for electric cars, they’re gonna kill me.
Joe Biden: On the other side, we have two members of progressive caucus, Ilhan Omar from Minessota
[Cut to Ilhan Omar]
Ilhan Omar: Thank you Joe for not calling me Kamala. For those of you who don’t know me, I was designed in a lab to give Tucker Carlson a heart attack.
Joe Biden: And finally, Alexandria– I’m not going to try to say the whole name. A.O.C. from Nueva York.
[Cut to Alexandria waving her hands]
[cheers and applause]
Alexandria: Yes, it’s me, the Cruella of the MET Gala. I wore a dress that said “Tax the rich”, then spent all night partying with the rich. Oops!
Joe Biden: Let’s go through this agenda together because we’re going to realize, “Hey, we’re all on the same page. We’re all singing the same damn thing.”
Alexandria: That’s right. I’m saying we need at least 300 billion in clean energy tax credits.
Joe Manchin: And I’m saying 0.
Joe Biden: See? Same page. There’s a lot of good stuff in this bill like Joe BidenKyrsten Sinema weeks of paid family leave.
Kyrsten Sinema: Six days!
Joe Biden: Six whole days of paid–
Joe Manchin: Well, unpaid.
Joe Biden: Unpaid six whole days–
Kyrsten Sinema: Night.
Joe Biden: Six nights of unpaid family half leave. That’s not a bad compromise, right? And what do you want in return?
Alexandria: What about a child tax credit?
Joe Biden: Great idea! We always said, children shouldn’t pay taxes. It’s a lot of math.
Joe Manchin: But if we give children too much leeway, how are they gonna get them to work in the minds, you know? We need their tiny hands to dig. All the big pieces of coal are gone. We need the little kid fingers to gather the little pieces.
Joe Biden: Okay. Let’s get a little basic. Roads. Everyone okay with roads?
Alexandria: I like roads.
Joe Manchin: Me too. Roads are where trucks live.
Joe Biden: Kyrsten?
Kyrsten Sinema: I want no roads.
Joe Biden: No roads? Why?
Kyrsten Sinema: Chaos!
Joe Biden: Alright! What about water? We’re allotting. Let’s see. 65 billion for water. Wow, that’s a lot of water. Does it come with the mermaid? Just kidding.
[Joe Biden pokes Ilhan Omar with his ankle to let her know of is joke]
Ilhan Omar: No. It was good.
Joe Biden: Yeah. What do you say, Joe? You good with water?
Joe Manchin: I don’t like that taste.
Joe Biden: Fine. Let’s focus on the two things that poll best with all Americans – lowering the price of prescription drugs–
Kyrsten Sinema: No!
Joe Biden: And raising taxes on billionaires.
[Kyrsten Sinema shows her thumbs down on the idea]
Alright then, just tell us Kyrsten. What do you like? What’s good to you?
Kyrsten Sinema: Yellow starbursts, the film “The Polar Express”, and when someone eats fish on an airplane.
Alexandria: But can’t we compromise on anything? Isn’t something better than nothing?
Kyrsten Sinema: Look. As a wine drinking bisexual triathlete, I know what the average American wants. They want to be put on hold when they call 9Joe BidenJoe Biden. They want bridges that just stop, car falls down. They want water so thick, you can eat it with a fork. And I will fight for that no matter what, unless my foot hurts, then I’ll go back to Arizona.
Joe Biden: Fine! Fine! Then we’re gonna talk about one last item on the agenda. Most important one. Trains!
Ilhan Omar: Oh god, again?
Joe Biden: Come on! Don’t take dreams away from me! We need to remind people of the grandeur of American rail travel. The quiet car. The seats are faced backwards. The sliding bathroom doors that don’t quite lock. You open it up, catch a glimpse of an old man on a toilet. The full bottle of gatorade rolling around on the floor of the train. It goes that way, it goes back. Without trains, no American.
Ilhan Omar: I can’t believe I’m saying this to my white boss, it’s gonna be okay.
[Andrew Cuomo walks in]
Andrew Cuomo: It’s gonna be more than okay. Take it from me, governor-ish Andrew Cuomo. Us democrats have had each other’s backs no matter what. We’re like one big Italian family. And you know what Italians like to do? Hug and kiss and run their fingers up each other’s backs. So, let’s all come together– Oh, bad choice of words there. And get this bill pass today. Just like me, it deserves a second chance. And a third chance. And up to at least Joe BidenJoe Biden chances. Oh, and I want to plug my new book. My first one was called “Lessons and Leadership”. And my new one is called “Whoops!”
[Chuck Schumer walks in]
Chuck Schumer: And I’m here to promote my new book, “Sandwiches I have liked and tried”. Hello, I’m Chuck Schumer. You may remember me, but you don’t. I hope you’ve enjoyed our little rap session. Next time you get an email from the democratic party with a scary desperate subject line like “It’s all over, Jennifer. Democracy is dead unless you donate $Chuck Schumer now!”, don’t panic too much. Us democrats are all in this together.
Joe Biden: Hey, we sure are. Because fundamentally, we’re all the same.
Andrew Cuomo: Screw!
All: And live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!
