The following show has a lot of explicit content. I'm sure you'll like it because of that.

It's Monday, July 9, 2018 from Slated to the Gist I'm Mike Paschek. It is July 9, right?

So I'll be announcing it the Monday after July 4. Is that the 11th?

No, no, no, no. It's July 9. The Monday since Independence Day was a Wednesday. Today is July 9.

Anyway, I don't want to criticize Trump. Well, you know, usual we do. But there is one criticism of Trump that I don't think will change any minds.

It is this, this was Senator Richard Blumenthal on this week.

Unfortunately, and I really mean unfortunately, I think that some of the more dire views of what we sacrificed in this reality show that the president conducted are now coming through. We made concessions.

There are Richard Blumenthal dismissively use the phrase reality show to describe the president's Korean dealings.

Now here is Chris Coons on Face the Nation. So different Sunday show, different Senator, same party, same comparison.

My concern, Margaret, is that the Singapore summit last month was really not much more than a reality TV handshake summit that didn't really accomplish much in terms of getting North Korea to commit to verifiable and irreversible denuclearization.

So then even diplomacy, Trump's announcement of supreme court nominee to be held at 9 p.m. tonight is being dismissed as a reality show people, people of America, specifically people of America.

Who are demographically older and more high brow than your fellow Americans. Reality show is not something to dismiss where past that.

I will not defend the genre, but if you're trying to appeal to the sensibilities of most people, know this. Reality shows are the vernacular of the United States.

You are not taunting President Trump with the label reality show. You're praising him with it. It would be as if it were 1961 and Nixon went around deriding Kennedy as some sort of rock and roll president.

Reality shows are how we communicate and basically they're how Trump won the election. It's not like people don't know or realize that.

In fact, the reality show frame probably allows Trump more latitude to lie, cheat, steal, engage in drama because that's what goes on on reality shows.

It's it's priced into the price of Trump. See, I think what we should be doing is calling them out whenever he engages in some real non reality show behavior, you know, where it gets too real or depressing.

He's separating little children from their mothers at the border. I would not watch a reality show on that. He is allowing Wilbur Ross, who's already a billionaire to trade on inside or information. How's that a reality show? You promised us a reality show.
