A recording of William Shatner performing "Rocket Man" is played as a form of "comic relief" amidst the discussion of nuclear war. The host jokes that while Shatner is the "unintentional comic," the real "Rocket Man" is Elon Musk, who is building rockets to take humanity to Mars. He contrasts Musk's productive technology with the "rocket men" like Kim Jong-un and Joe Biden who threaten global destruction.

Elton John and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson have notably refused to join the media's attacks on Donald Trump. John laughed off Trump's "Rocket Man" nickname for Kim Jong Un, calling it brilliant, while Johnson expressed concern over Democratic rhetoric inciting violence. Meanwhile, internal polling in Pennsylvania shows Trump leading Kamala Harris by two points, driven by concerns over inflation and the cost of living.

Trump reflects on his diplomacy with North Korea, moving from "Little Rocket Man" insults to a historic summit in Singapore. He claims he prevented a nuclear war that Barack Obama believed was inevitable.
