## About this episode

Donald Trump sparked a media firestorm in Green Bay by arriving at a rally in a high-visibility vest and a branded garbage truck. The stunt followed a controversial Zoom call where Joe Biden appeared to label Trump supporters as garbage, a comment the White House later attributed to a possessive apostrophe regarding comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. This escalation of rhetoric has defined the final week of the 2024 election cycle as both campaigns trade insults over voter character.

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her closing arguments at The Ellipse, framing her opponent as a threat to democracy while facing distractions from the Biden gaffe. Meanwhile, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold faces calls for resignation after voting machine passwords were leaked on a public website. In the Pacific Northwest, the FBI is investigating arson attacks on ballot boxes in Oregon and Washington marked with Free Gaza messages. On the international stage, China launched the Shenzhou-19 mission to the Tiangong Space Station as General Mark Milley warned of potential conflict over Taiwan by 2027.

Cultural oddities round out the week as New York City legalizes jaywalking and a Delaware couple reveals their living room collection of seven human skeletons. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe faces comparisons to 1980s insult humor following his Madison Square Garden set. Producers also celebrate the show's 17th anniversary with a custom glass sword from Dame Loco and a Harvard study involving a student eating 720 eggs in a single month.

### 3. Joe Biden Garbage Comment, Tony Hinchcliffe Controversy (5:23–10:21)

Joe Biden sparked controversy during a Zoom call by appearing to refer to Donald Trump's supporters as "garbage." The comment followed a joke made by insult comic Tony Hinchcliffe at a Madison Square Garden rally, where he referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage."

### 4. Scott Adams Analysis, Biden Apostrophe Defense (10:22–16:17)

Dilbert creator Scott Adams proposed a linguistic defense of Joe Biden, suggesting the President used a possessive apostrophe ("supporter's") rather than a plural noun. This interpretation would mean Biden was calling the comedian's "garbage" rhetoric the issue, rather than the supporters themselves. However, critics argue the White House's shifting explanations and the audio evidence make this grammatical defense unlikely to persuade the public.
