This is a little ambiguous; is the old chap telling a third person to wake Ralph up and tell him (Ralph) that he is the new protector or, is he asking Ralph to wake up and tell the bear that he (the bear) is the new protector?
I got nothing on this one, except maybe our current national embarrassment messed up his first inauguration and flushed the second. Gotta be a better explanation out there. Come on, folks.
Sometimes a joke is just a joke. That being said, the former inhabitant of the white house was a joke that only Seth Myers got. (Watch the White House Correspondents 2011 Dinner – https://time.com/4756751/donald-trump-white-house-correspondents-dinner/ – the Seth Myers video starting at 12:00)
I think if he means that the bear is the new leader because he defeated the previous leader by force, then they need a coronation. That time period was the time of kingdoms…. (LOL, let’s stay away from the pending impeachment.)
Short-faced bears were a terrible problem for those who lived in caves.
Short-faced Bear (Extinct Bear)
The short-faced bear is an extinct bear genus that inhabited North America during the Pleistocene epoch from about 1.8 Mya until 11,000 years ago. It was the most common tremarctine bear in North America and many of its fossils have been found in the La Brea tar pits in southern California.
Everyone is overthinking this. I don’t think this a political joke. The man is looking back into the cave and stating that he (the man looking back) is giving the job of protecting the cave back to Ralph (who was in charge earlier). If it is political, then Biden, having seen the bear, is willing to give “Ralph” (T….) the job back.
The bear is Gorbachev. The guy in the doorway, Adlai Stevenson. Ralph of course will be the entrée. It’s all so clear.As Freud said “Sometimes a popsicle, is just a popsicle.”

Think of it this way-hire Ralph and you’ll never need another cave-protector.;-D

I cannot imagine wanting to become part of a government… much less the person who’s out on the pointy end.

How about substituting Rudy for Ralph and looking at the bear as Karma?

Wait a few days and search the woods, you should find Ralph’s predecessor then.

The bear’s inner monologue: “Gee, it’s nice I got a toothpick with my meal.”

The Impeachment joke is when the Bear heads to the Woods for New Business.
