Following a political tele-rally for one of his biggest fans, the Puddle is expected to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. The New York Knicks lead the series against the San Antonio Spurs 2-0. Fans have been warned to arrive two hours ahead of the 8:30 p.m. ET tip-off and leave most of their belongings at home.
First NBA Finals game in 27 years? Two wins from immortality? Trump in the audience, record prices, and canceled watch parties? Wemby? Yeah, not even New York has seen anything quite like what’s coming in Game 3, @TheAthleticNBA https://t.co/2QcCuu7xWb

The Knicks, at the behest of the U.S. Secret Service, are enforcing a strict no-bag policy for all fans, asking them to bring the bare minimum and strongly encouraging them to show up two hours before Monday’s 8:30 p.m. tip-off to go through airport-like security. The Knicks said the city permitting office also denied permits for a watch party outside Madison Square Garden, and the city will erect a security perimeter where only patrons with tickets or NBA Finals credentials can enter. The New York Police said watch parties will be held in undetermined locations.
New York Times. The Athletic. 06/07/2026.
Puddle will become the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game. I have to wonder just how loud the booing will be. After all, “The cheapest ticket prices on the secondary market for Game 3 were over $6,000 as of Sunday afternoon, according to StubHub, and lower bowl prices were approaching $90,000.” Fortunately for those hoping to make their feelings known, New Yorkers have never been known for suffering in silence.
Tidbits Monday
California, home to roughly 22 million registered voters, is still counting ballots. Puddle has once again mistaken this routine process for voter fraud, apparently expecting the nation’s most populous state to wrap up elections in the time it takes to watch a football game.
We’ve all seen the epic meltdown Puddle had when asked two questions about his coup attempters slush fund on Meet the Press. During the his meltdown, in an attempt to change the subject he said:
OBS is having a Monday so we go old school. The YouTube is the full exchange right before Puddle oozed off the set. I’ve cued it up to the 4:15 second mark.
The exchange:
Puddle: The election was rigged. It was a dirty election.
Kristen Welker: Mr. President, you’ve never presented evidence —
Puddle: And it’s happening again right now in California.
Kristen Welker: You’ve never presented evidence that the 2020 election was rigged.
Puddle: Right now, look at what’s happening in California.
Kristen Welker: Where’s the evidence to that?
Puddle: It’s four days —
Kristen Welker: The Republicans are doing well in California.
Puddle: No they’re not. They’re dropping fast because it’s a rigged election. Let me tell you, it’s four days and they aren’t even close to coming up with the —
Kristen Welker: That’s how they count the votes in California.
Puddle: Do you know why they’re doing that? Because they’re cheating on the election.
Kristen Welker: What? Do you have evidence to support that?
Puddle: All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look.
Kristen Welker: But that’s not evidence.
Puddle: And I listen. And I listen to people. And let’s see what happens.
Kristen Welker: But sir, that’s not evidence.
Puddle: Do you think it’s appropriate that they have an election and five days later they’re nowhere close to picking a winner?
Kristen Welker: State and local officials acknowledge they are slow. They’re urging —
Puddle: No, they’re crooked.
Kristen Welker: They’re urging the votes to be counted quickly. That’s how they vote in California.
Puddle: They’re crooked just like you’re crooked, your press is crooked. And Meet the Press is crooked.
Kristen Welker: To be fair, I’m not crooked. But let’s continue.
Puddle: Really? Well, you play right into their hands then.
Kristen Welker: Let’s continue.
Puddle: You’re either crooked or you’re stupid.
Kristen Welker: Let’s continue.
Puddle: You play right into their hands with this stuff. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they’re rigged. Do you know that I won an election in a landslide and I got 94% bad press?
Kristen Welker: But Mr. President —
Puddle: You know why I got that?
Kristen Welker: You’ve never presented —
Puddle: Because you have no credibility.
Kristen Welker: Evidence. But you’ve never presented evidence it was rigged. Let’s keep talking about, I want to talk about Todd Blanche.
Puddle: You have more evidence, there’s more evidence than ever presented.
Kristen Welker: Let’s talk about —
Puddle: Your elections in this country —
Kristen Welker: You went to court.
Puddle: We’re like a third world country.
Kristen Welker: But sir —
Puddle: Your elections are crooked and you’re crooked, and Meet the Press is crooked.
Kristen Welker: But Mr. President —
Puddle: And so is ABC and CBS and CNN.
Kristen Welker: But Mr. President —
Puddle: You’re a one-sided crooked network. Sorry. Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.
Kristen Welker: Mr. President, please. I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
Puddle: I’ve sat in the rain with you for an hour.
Kristen Welker: I know. I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
Puddle: On and off in the rain, and I’ve given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press, because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press. Come on. Let’s go.
Kristen Welker: We traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview.
[The interview ended here.]
RollCall.com. 06/05/2026.
Welker added from the studio that she and the Puddle later spoke and acknowledged the rain-related “complications” that affected the interview (🙄) and that he agreed to another sit-down on Meet the Press, aka Meet the Doormat. Apparently accusing the host of being crooked, stupid, and part of a rigged system isn’t enough to lose a return invitation.
He waited until just after 11:00 p.m. D.C., time to continue spreading his lies about the California primary election on Lies Social.
He continued the theme at 5:26 a.m. D.C., time.
Right it’s insane to think that the city of Los Angeles who has had 67 Democratic mayors and only 22 Republican mayors would in fact pick two Democratic candidates in the primary.
Puddle still doesn’t understand how vote counting works as of 12:16 p.m.
According to the California Secretary of State’s Office election results page the top three candidates for Governor of California are:
Xavier Becerra (DEM) – 1,883,083 votes (27.2%)
Steve Hilton (REP) – 1,790,532 votes (25.9%)
Tom Steyer (DEM) – 1,488,520 votes (21.5%)
Becerra has become the first official candidate to advance to the general election in November. While it’s technically possible that Steyer could move ahead of Hilton as the count continues, I’m 99.9 percent sure that’s not going to happen. As a California resident and a person capable of reading an election map, Hilton’s lead looks safe enough to start planning for a November matchup with Becerra.
The reason it was easier for Nithya Raman to move ahead of Spencer Pratt was that the number of votes needed to pass him was much smaller. The governor’s race involves millions of votes, making late swings far more difficult.
As NBC Los Angeles explained on 06/06/2026:
The battle for second in the primary race for Los Angeles mayor tightened even more on Saturday, with Councilmember Nithya Raman trailing former reality TV star Spencer Pratt by about 7,500 votes, the latest election results show.
Democratic incumbent Mayor Karen Bass — who NBC News already projected will advance to the November runoff — was still in the lead with 34.81% of the vote, according to the updated tally released by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk on Saturday.
Pratt had 27.32%, while Raman was 1.1 points behind with 26.21%.
NBC Los Angeles. 06/06/2026.
That’s it for today’s Coffee Talk.
Remember: counting votes is not voter fraud, asking for evidence is not media bias, and paying $90,000 for a basketball ticket remains a choice.
Happy Monday.
