Support For Trump is Collapsing

Welcome back everybody to the show. I hope you're doing fantastic. Another week is coming

to an end and that's a beautiful thing isn't it? We've made it through. It's Friday and

I have an incredible Friday show for all of you. Trump getting more bad news, so bad

that now a loyalist like Miranda Divine is sounding the alarms and comparing Trump

to someone. Trump definitely does not want to be compared to a mega gubernatorial candidate

called for a black man to be lynched. Yes. And you have right wing streamers, nostalgia

realizing about a Kamala Harris and Joe Biden saying, we missed Joe Biden. It took just

over a year for mega hat wearing streamers to be saying, I miss Joe Biden and then making

making Kamala Harris edits. Can you imagine? And a lot more. Let's get into it. You might

remember Miranda Divine. She's a right wing journalist and hosts a podcast for the New

York Post and is a big cheerleader of Donald Trumps. And what I have for you in this segment

is even she is panicking over the complete and total collapse of Trump's popularity

because of the numerous quagmires, the latest being the Iran war that our Trumps do it.

Before I show you that, let me play for you some context of the type of questions Miranda

Divine asked Trump when they had an interview a few months ago, because you'll get a sense

of if this level of cheerleader for Trump is freaking out, it must be bad. This was her

first question in their interview.

Kicking off this week is the apex alpha of global politics, president Donald Trump.

Thanks to president, thank you so much for doing this our very first podcast, especially

I mean, I know how much you have on your plate. I don't know. How do you juggle it all?

You've got wars. You've got big news.

I mean, that's a war in peace. I have an have you. And I heard it was your first. So this

is your first. That's going to, that's an honor to be on your show.

Thank you. And so tell us, um, we're in this room. Why did you choose the library?

So the, that's all I'm talking about. This is, that's a pro Trump host, if you've ever

seen one, who says question one, how do you juggle it all? Question two, why did you pick the

library for this interview? That's not exactly hard hitting journalism. The only clip

as cringe as that in a Trump interview is this one from 2021.

Thank you very much. All right. So I know a lot of people that are around you every day.

This is what they're all telling me. You are working as hard as you did when you were

in the White House, except you play a little golf more that you, you're keeping an insane

schedule seven days a week. You, you really don't stop. Well, we're seeing a lot of people.

We're seeing a lot.

So I mistated it. He didn't ask a question. At least Miranda Divine said, how do you

do it? Sean, he just said, you really don't stop. You're a machine. You just keep pumping

and pumping forward. So yeah, that's who we're talking about. Miranda Divine. And she became

the subject of a headlin because she's panicking because Trump is suffering a complete and total

collapse in public perception about him for a good reason. Trump booster Miranda Divine, warns

president, his wartime poll numbers are looking a lot like Biden's. Now, that's the for Trump.

That's the biggest insult you can get. Okay. The first graph that she posted was the one I'll

show in a second writing down Trump's polls since launching the Iran war are looking a lot like

Joe Biden's after he botched Afghanistan with draw wrote divine on social media while posting

two real clear politics graphs. So she's making sort of a public appeal to Trump. Look at this.

This is bad. And what she posts is the comparison between Biden's

trajectory and polling. And a lot of people have noted that he was writing high as most

presidents do whenever they get into office. And then the first thing that started tugging

on his approval rating was the Afghanistan withdrawal and the images that came out of that.

And obviously there were disastrous components to the correct decision, but the execution of it

led to disasters. And then you go to Trump's and you can just see a plummet. And we already

before this war started, we're reporting on the damaged approval rating, which I'll circle back

to why that's significant. This is not just us sitting there like, yeah, look at this. Trump's

getting less popular and like controlling ourselves. There's a meaningful political element to this.

I'll talk about that in a second. But for Trump, he already was going down, down, down as Harry

Anton would say wolf. And there it is. We got it. Yeah, forget who the conference was.

We really want to play it one more time for us. Harry. There it is. That's the state of things.

Even before then it's plummeting. Look at this. Beer is the noise. I think that goes along

with that. And even Miranda divine is seeing it. You also have this headline humiliating pull reveals

the full scale of Trump's global reputation disaster. Do you remember how Trump has repeated so

many times that before whenever Biden was president, the world was laughing at us. And now they

respect us. It's literally say what you will about Joe. It's literally the opposite. The phenomenon's

the opposite. We saw a huge recovery in global perception of the United States's leadership.

And now we're seeing a destruction of our standing in the numbers, not just my perception or who

I'm talking to, but literally in the numbers, you can see visualized there. And for the first time

since Trump's first administration, China is more popular. China's leadership has higher approval

ratings in the globe. A little place called the world than China Trump's administration does.

And that's extremely notable. It flies in the face of Trump's promise that he was going to make

America respected again. And it doesn't seem like despite Trump trying to indicate the Iran war is

coming to an end. It doesn't seem like whatever. He says the facts on the ground that this disaster is

coming to an end anytime soon. And actually we just got horrible news this morning.

This morning US officials confirmed that an American fighter jet has gone down in Iran and a

search is underway for the crew. Iranian state run television has shown images of what it claims

is wreckage of the missing plane and says the government is offering a reward for the recovery

of any Americans. This is the first confirmed loss of a US jet in Iran since the war began

more than a month ago. And so of course our hearts are aching and we're hoping and praying if you

pray that a rescue effort is successful to find these American service members. It's not their

decision to be a part of this, but they're doing their duty that they signed up for. And now these

jets have been shot down. It does look like they ejected, but that means they're in Iran and

Iran is trying to find them. I think I just saw as we were going live that maybe one of the pilots

was found in recovery efforts alive. And so that's good, but then the other one.

But this is what we're talking about. There's a real human toll. This isn't just a talking

point or politics. This is real. This is war and Trump does not seem engaged or attached to that

reality at all as he vows to take out Iran's bridges and power stations saying they're next

unless Tehran agrees to peace deal fast, which would be a huge escalation and the Iranian side

doesn't seem interested at all despite what Trump is saying in a peace deal. And then we get

one bit of news after another that is not only escalatory, but disturbing. We started the war

by blowing up children's school. Now we have even more reports of war crimes. President Trump's

Pentagon chief triggered a deluge of backlash Thursday night after a report that American forces

struck a civilian highway bridge near Tehran twice on Thursday as Iranian villagers gathered

nearby to celebrate the final day of the Persian New Year. This is what I'm talking about when

Trump for whatever reason because someone showed him a cool animation or Lindsey Graham said he

was going to be the big pee pee boy. If he did this, whatever the reason, there is real human toll

and the Hegseth leadership doesn't seem to care much about even engaging in war crimes. And then

what do we just hear Trump say that is going to further drag down his approval numbers, which is

significant again for the reason I'm going to get to, but he seems to be admitting publicly.

Not seems he did admit publicly that we can't fund child care support federally. Even started

listening off Medicare, Medicaid, how there's just we're spending too much on things. But we've

but we don't have the money. We're spending it on war. He listed wars. One of the things we're

spending money on as to why we can't invest in child care. And so in a time when he already set

the military budget at a trillion dollars annually, a record breaking number, you combine like

the 500, not really, but biggest other militaries in the world doesn't even add up to ours. I think

it's like the top the other nine in the top 10 combined is an awesome like that crazy. And now he

asked for $200 billion extra just for this war and Republicans reportedly were seeking to find

that 200 billion in healthcare spending or in health program spending take it from your healthcare

to spend on this war. And we still don't know exactly why. And now beyond that, meaning in addition

to needing 200 billion specifically for this war, Trump saying in our next military budget,

it should be 1.5 trillion adding another 500 billion to our military budget. And where is he going

to find that money as this headline indicates by cutting domestic programs, housing and health

programs was one of the things cited. That's the priorities, right? And so in a time like that,

you would expect that Trump would be out there making the case nonstop posting about the logic of

all of this. No, not so much. Instead, he's obsessed still with his ballroom. Look at this one.

Trump goes on ballroom posting spree after oil Waltz's get it passed $112 a barrel and he was

manically posting about the ballroom instead of focusing on much more important issues. So then

I reference multiple times. Why do we keep going back to this? The plummeting of Trump's approval.

Well, one aspect to it, yes, is that I feel vindicated. Now, I don't care as much about being

vindicated as I care about the damage that's being done by this administration. So I obviously,

which is why I campaign so hard against this would have preferred us never having to live through

this. Of course, but at least if we can't change right now, the fact that Trump is the president

and that his administration is doing what they're doing, we can use this moment and the experiences

people are having and the revelations because of those experiences people are having to bring them

over to a more rational movement. And that is a positive element to feeling vindicated that more

and more people are going, I think I think those people who we voted against in this last election

might be right. And that can make a difference. But it is extremely significant in what it means

about the political landscape for the rest of Trump's presidency. So you say the midterms obviously,

if these numbers keep up, the world would only make sense if Democrats swept in the midterms.

And that would give them tons of power to reign in the power of the executive branch. So that's a

real material substantive difference that's made by public perception that's indicated by these

polls. And the other aspect is the political capital. Presidents often become a heck of a lot less

effective. And that can be bad if you want them to be effectively doing something you want to happen.

But I can be good if their efficacy is hindered when what they're trying to be effective at is damaging

like Trump. And so as he gets less and less popular, Republicans and Democrats alike have more

political reason to oppose what he's doing. And you're starting to see this a little bit with even

some Republicans. If they realize that Trump is becoming so politically toxic that opposing him

is in their advantage, then they're going to do it. They're not going to act because of courage,

a principle, but politics and power will persuade them. And that's what these numbers represent

and why they're significant. That's our first segment we have so many more to talk about. Oh my gosh,

I can't wait. What a show. I'm kind of pumped, huh? But before we get into anything else, I

want to thank you for joining. If you're one of our regular viewers who every day, it strikes

noon Eastern time and you go, looks probably not going to be live for a while. But I'm ready. I'm

ready for when he is whether it's one or 130 or 1230. I'm standing by stand back and stand by.

That's my message for this live stream. Then I appreciate you a lot because you know, it's

something special to be the percentage of people who watch the full body of work and don't just

catch the clips when they're later uploaded and a reminder that if you miss it, totally fine.

Later, you can watch it back just by searching Luke Beasley on YouTube and then looking at the

homepage, we have those full vods as they're called on the YouTube homepage, watch it back if that's

how you like to consume podcasts. And then if you're watching or listening on podcast platforms,

you can also leave a rating and review everyone. Make sure you click the like button and you're

become a member by clicking the join button, I will shout you out and engage with the comments

as we go along. We're also going to talk about, which is reference in today's title, the paranoia

that Trump is experiencing. So if you come for that, just hold. That's a little bit later in the

show. And Trump is starting to question the loyalty of a bunch of people around him. And he's

having paranoid cussing tirades about leaks. And that's a part of why Pam Bonding might not be

the first to be ousted in this latest stint of Alsters. So we'll talk about that. But first,

let's talk about this. One of the aspects of our current political moment is a lot of it's

defined by social media virality. And that creates a really damaging incentive structure. I was

just talking about this with a friend and it's really sad. I was saying they asked me, who do I want

to run for president? I was listening off different people. And one of the people is saying that

doesn't get a ton of attention. But I think would be really, really interesting would be John

Ossoff, the George Senator. And I really want to see kind of what he would lay out in terms of

apology, policy agenda. He has a really good messaging style. And he comes from the sort of purple,

reddish state. And I think it would be a really interesting thing to see. And the person I was

talking to wasn't really familiar with him. And I was like, see, this is the problem with our

political environment is the offs offs of the world who don't make a bunch of news for being

controversial or for screaming something crazy. Don't get as much attention. And then you don't

get as much name recognition. And that can work against you. And so because people understand that

you have some of these James Fishback type characters who fish back is running for a governor in

Florida. Byron Donalds is the other Republican in that race who's leading the field. Fishback

doesn't have a ton of popularity, but he's getting a lot of attention. And you set up this incentive

structure. If you're an unknown candidate, and you don't feel like you have a great chance

through the normal channels to win the race, then you can just benefit from using a campaign to

bolster your public profile. And how do you do that? You just be super, super extreme. And so

Fishback's been identified as sort of like a grouper Nick Fuentes associated type candidate and

has just constantly tried to get himself in the news to boost his popularity in Florida by saying

the most deranged and extreme things possible. And it's a performance. I see it as a performance.

It doesn't mean the rhetoric isn't damaging. So in this viral clip, he's being confronted about

allegations that he had a relationship with a minor. And he ends up calling for a black man to be

lynched and then immediately sort of panics and tries to walk back what he said. Before I play

the clip for you, let me read this reporting. So you know what's being referenced by the person

confronting him earlier this year, the woman kind of fort went to court asking for an order of

protection against Fishback. She said he initiated a romantic relationship with her in spring 2022

and directed her to keep it a secret when she said he was 27 and she was 17 and working for his

group Incubate debate. Fishback founded the organization 2019 partnering with school districts in

Florida to build debate programs for middle and high school students for setting court records

that lived together and were briefly engaged after she turned 18. Fishback claimed that

fort suffered from mental health issue that predated their relationship and presented evidence

that he had shown she wanted to rekindle the relationship as recently as December 24. He also

claimed that she was going after him in the Incubate debate. Fishback has denied wrongdoing.

The judge denied fort's petition, which centered not on whether their initial relationship was

inappropriate, but on whether Fishback harassed her after they broke up the judge ruled that he

did not and she accused some of throwing things at her, etc. Wait, was his argument? Hold up,

we're going to get to the clip. Was his argument that he denies wrongdoing but she was flirting with

me? That doesn't seem like his argument. Did I read that wrong? He's like, hey, she's been

lusting after me since she was a teenager. Is this really my fault? Yeah, what'd be? But

apparently he denies those allegations and that court case didn't go many places. So then

you have this GOP governor candidate explodes at Black voter quote unquote, you should be lynched.

Disgusting and sickening, of course, referencing the historical extradudicial killings, murders

of Black people and he's saying it to a Black guy. Here we go. Why did you not answer the question?

I'm happy to answer the question, dude. Did you smash? Was it missionary? Backstaff? What was it?

I don't want you ever. I don't want you ever speaking about women in a state like that ever again.

I mean, I don't want you ever smashing girls teenage girls in our state ever again. So promise me,

never smash the money again. Why haven't I been arrested? I don't know. Why haven't I been arrested?

I don't know. You should be lynched. I should be lynched. So he says you should be lynched.

I, my, this sounds like a cuff alley. My Velthak actually had the volume turn all the way down.

I did the guy just say something. This, the confrontation was not ideal. Okay. What, what was said,

and originally, but then the fishback brings just like a racial slur into it. And then immediately,

I think, realizes what he said. So then you go, if, if you can see in his face and then what he's

about to say in the clip, which is him trying to backtrack and be like, I mean, we should lynch

the Epstein perpetrators. What? Okay. But how, why did you say this to him? You said you should be

lynched for lying about me like that. So it wasn't originally about the Epstein perpetrator.

But why would that come to your mind so quickly? That's, that's the disturbing part. Whatever the guy

was saying. And then however much fishback feels like he's being wrongly accused, etc. The fact that

he pulled, that's just like sitting in his arsenal of thoughts. He pulls that out and then he goes,

oh gosh, even for me, and fishback has gone viral for calling his opponent Byron Donald, Byron

Donald. So he's obviously trying to do the race bait type stuff. But then even he feels like he

went too far, which is saying a lot. Here we go. Why haven't I been arrested? I don't know.

I haven't been arrested. I don't know. Why haven't Trump been lynched for lying about me like that?

I should be lynched. Yes. Oh, please. Oh,

pedophiles. I agree. I will lynch every single Epstein criminal in this country.

Here comes tonight. Why haven't I been arrested? Why did you not?

Well, okay. So I had not looked much into James, other than occasionally we cover clips from him.

And I read you some reporting about it. So there's documented allegations. And he's right.

There hasn't been like a civil lawsuit. He lost or a criminal lawsuit from what I've seen.

And that's something I'll state on the record. And also, if someone came up to me and said,

you had a relationship with a minor when you were 27, my immediate response would not be to go,

why haven't I been arrested then? Why haven't I been arrested? Why haven't I been arrested?

That sounds so much like a technicality. You know what I mean? I would be like,

what kind of sick liar are you telling? That's insane. Because it's right. No,

why haven't I been arrested? Why haven't the Florida authorities technically arrested me then?

And then of course, he tries to shift it to the Epstein pedals should be lynched.

Well, that's not what you said originally. And by the way, this part's unideal.

If you want to grab a little clip, let's see if I should be lynched.

Sorry. The guy goes pedophile and James goes, I agree.

But then he means you should the Epstein. So that's disgusting. And why does he have that

inclination? Is he genuinely racist? Probably. Yeah. But is he also trying to exploit a radical

portion of the online right wing? Also, yes. And a lot of what he does is so obviously

performative to get attention. I don't even think he intends on winning. Actually, I'm pretty

certain he has no dream of winning this race for governor in Florida. He's getting crushed by

Byron Donalds. I think he wants this to boost him into an extreme right wing influencer.

And in this world where it feels like, you know, you got the Palm Beach P using the fact that he

looks a lot like Epstein to be an influencer. You got whoever doing whatever and everyone's

trying to be influenced. It's like there's this there's this terrible incentive structure

that you can run for a political office where people's lives are as safe and it's extremely

important. And we should be picking very qualified people and you can just like racist thing.

Oh, I think that only fans models should have their money taken away. And then, oh, I like Nick

Fuentes. And you can kind of do all that. Get no actual support in the state, but then get famous

and then use that to make a bunch of money doing like a podcast where you rant about whatever.

And I kind of hate that. It's a little bit of a bummer. Now, I referenced another way he's

trying to get more attention, which is calling out a prominent Florida resident Sophie Rain, who is a

is like the top only fans model and only fans is like adult content, sexual sometimes content

or like nude content. And James has proposed what he calls the sin tax, which I really bother

really bothers me the sound of that. It just sounds like the word sin tax, but the sin tax like

you're sinning. And because of that, you should be taxed. And he wants to tax 50% of the income

of adult content creators. And so he's called out specifically Sophie Rain. And I don't really care

about waiting until like the substantive debate about whether this is just another attention grab

for him, but it's backfiring so hard. And I'm going to tell you about that in a second,

but here was him on Pierce Morgan telling Sophie Rain that she should have 50% of her money taken

in a state that doesn't have any income tax. My point to Sophie is this is if you want to keep

doing this, then we're going to take 50% of what you earn. And we're going to use it to raise

public school teacher pay. Our public school teachers are not getting paid enough. We're going

to use this as a resource to fund the empowerment of young women who have signed up to do something

dignified, with all due respect, unlike you, and be a public school teacher, educating, inspiring,

and motivating. You know what, James? You know what? Here's what I would say. I've got to end

this debate. Here's what I would say. I'm listening to both of you, and you both make good points.

But honestly, that last date when you made me was so pompous and patronizing. Honestly,

you do be the great moral arbiter of what young women do with themselves legally in the United

States. Who are you to say if you become governor, you're going to take half her money in a state

where they don't have even state income tax? It's like there's a real arrogance to this

that you've decided you are the moral arbiter of every Floridian. And it may be why you're

trailing so badly in the polls. And Sophie, the good news for you is don't worry about it because

he's not going to win. So you're not going to end up giving Mr. Fishback any money for his plans.

So hang on, hang on. Who are you? Who are you to tell me me? Pears Morgan. I can't look at a nice hot

whatever. Okay. He's like, now this is personal. I love only fair. No. Here's what's funny about this.

Okay. While he's trying to get some national attention by being the guy who's saying he's

going to tax only fans models. And there's something zany about that or whatever and viral friendly.

And then he's getting Sophie rein on a panel, which is like she's way more famous than he is.

So he's getting more attention, which is that that's all this is for you. I think isn't this kind

of working for him? Because extreme right wingers will see him in the clip that I showed you before

calling for the lynching being like, whoo, he's actually he doesn't. He's not afraid to sip.

And then other people will see this and be like, yeah, only fans to generate a tap, a good

but actually what's the funny part of this is I think his polling. So recent, a New Emerson college

survey has Byron Donald's well out in front of the geopie, which I don't like Byron Donald's either,

by the way. I briefly debated him in the spin room one time. And he's also the favorite in a

hypothetical matchup. I guess the Democrat. That's unfortunate. But look at this. Found that 46%

of Republican primary voters in this poll backed Donald's. And then you have fishback getting 3.8%.

So he's not going to win this primary. So then what will the effect be? Okay, maybe he went a

little vibe, or maybe he got a little bit of attention. But he has given more mainstream media

attention to Sophie rain than I've seen in a very long time. And while he's trying to rain in

the number of men who are consuming only fans content and the number of women who are producing

only fans content, I think the net effect of his campaign is going to just be funneling a bunch

of subscribers to Sophie, right? Because look, she said James fishback is just giving me free

promo while ruining his own reputation. But then because of this, CNN runs a piece like

the only fans to be because it's a sin tax. Yes. Do you view what you're doing as a sinful?

I don't because who are you to judge sin? You know, God is the only one who can judge sin.

Sophie rain is one of the biggest stars on. So now CNN is broadcasting her in a bikini.

James fishback is just producing Sophie rain promo as he's trying to campaign against her.

Only fans. I met her in her home state of Florida where she and so I didn't see any CNN

specials about Sophie rain before this. I didn't see peers Morgan inviting Sophie rain on there.

I didn't see all this discussion. Do you know how many fishback supporters are going to go

subscribe? Do you know how many CNN viewers who weren't familiar with her because she's kind of

more viral on like younger people platforms. And now we're familiar with her. And they'll

CNN runs like videos and photos of her and they'll be like, I'll go check out her content. A lot.

I think that's going to be the net effect of fishbacks campaign is just getting her more

in the national discussion as he tries to say that our youths are being destroyed. And obviously

there's a perfectly reasonable discussion to be had about the caution one should have in any

context of putting themself on the internet in like vulnerable or nude ways and the impact

that can have. And you know, you should wait until a certain age to even consider it. And

people can have porn addiction. And that should be it. There's all these very serious substantive

conversations. But fishback just running out being like, take 50% of Sophie rains money.

Whenever it doesn't sound like he's more broadly proposing taxes on wealthy folks.

Which if you did, she would be impacted. She's very wealthy. But this targeted approach to get

a little attention is what it is. We see what it is. And it's not very nuanced or productive. But

it comes from this place of the youths are being destroyed in this woke society. And Ted Nugent

had a different proposal than a syntax for how we need to get the youths.

Correct it. These kids are so soft. They are so spoiled. They have no idea why they turn on the

hot water faucet. Why hot water comes out? They have no idea why they can plug stuff in the wall

and electricity turns it on. These kids need to be stripped naked and thrown into the wilderness

without anything for a week. And if they don't make it tough, they need to learn what my kids

and my grandkids, my bandmates. I got a bunch of rock and roll bandmates that are tougher than

any of these Gen Zers. Now let me clarify that. Only the guilty need to feel guilty.

Yeah, clarify it, dude. Ted, did he say what did you just say kids need to be stripped naked?

thrown into the wilderness without electricity turns it on. These kids need to be stripped naked.

Yeah, advice. I know you later said and then thrown in the wilderness like a naked and afraid

type scenario. But I would maybe as a piece of advice, Ted, just given the fact that you are

77, which is awesome. But just in terms of being an adult, I would say as any adult, whether you're

21 or 77, don't let the phrase these kids need to be stripped naked.

Come out of your mouth ever. And then after you say that, I would definitely advise you don't say

like my kids and my grandkids have had to do. You know, like why can't the

like this is so funny. He's, you know, Ted knew just like a Mac, a rock star, whatever.

Maybe, maybe just say we need, first of all, I think there should be an investigation

of child abuse, okay, for one, because why are you leaving abandoned your children in the

wilderness? But if you're trying to say like kids need to be toughened up, they need to go

learn survival skills. I honestly don't know why, because I learned a lot of survival skills

growing up. I was in Boy Scouts. I was always be prepared, etc, knots, I knew knots.

And I've never used those skills because we're not in the wilderness, right? Because we do,

I don't need to know, I do know, but I don't need to know how the water is hot. It's hot.

Okay. But even if that's what you're suggesting, why don't you say they should go learn

wilderness survival? Why do they have to be naked for it, Ted? After you, I didn't defied them as

kids. Ted, why? Um, you know, you know, I was talking about these other generations week.

Well, it's, I'm all naked and put them in my forest. Let's see what happens. Okay, Ted. All

right. Check it in with the audience. Let's see spicy noodles or fire said, is it possible for you to

Google share an MP3 file of Trump saying China reverbed. I want to make it my text notification

ringtone. Thanks. You know what, uh, friend of the show, David Pacman has done that we could do

is put on our website, downloadable MP3s of all of the soundbites, like, or at least the ones we use a

lot. So, uh, Cole will work on that. And maybe tomorrow I'll have an update for you where you can go

and access. We, we find some of these and I'm sure it'd be fun for some of you to have them

just on stand by intuition. Jensen watching you guys while waiting for my flight. What a great

way to pass the time. I'm glad that that timing worked out and hopefully your flight is smooth

and there aren't any delays or anything like that. I know it's early, but I've learned

it's a little trick, a little known trick, uh, before a flight that kind of helps smooth out the

flight. And it is, um, a little friend of mine named alcohol. Okay, you do a little bit of that

and you're good for the flight. No, I don't recommend that. Jay Bird became a member by clicking

the join button. I appreciate you so much. All right, let's jump into this.

Just kidding. One more comment. Stop it. I gotta do one more. Keat Wilkinson. Hey, Luke,

what Democrats you see as possible up and coming leaders? Outs off. Teab, Outs off. John Outs off.

That's why I want. That's why I want. I'm saying it. Okay. I'm saying it. And he's so,

he doesn't make it clear. He's not one of these people like, now I'm selling a book and I'm doing

a tour and I'm going me for president. But instead, he's just kind of casually walking around,

running for reelection in Georgia, laying out a very strong message about not just how we

combat Trump or how we fix the problems he's created, but how you get that hot. No, how we fundamentally

transform our system. And he, I just watched a clip. Maybe we'll go over on the bonus show,

who, uh, where, excuse me, gosh, those, the V-rolls distracting me. Where, and I'm not supporting him

because of his looks. Shut up. I'm supporting him for substantive reasons, which is that he is

identifying the source of our political problem. It's not just an issue. It is a system. And

that system has been skewed by big money, changing the incentive structure for politicians. If,

because of citizens United, because of the flooding of billionaire and big corporation money into

our politics, it only makes sense that in races, that statistically, you are much more likely to win

if you raise more money. You will go to people trade favors for their money so that you can

get elected and then so that you can stay in power. And he has been laying that out and pointing to

how that then kind of spins off all of our other political problems. And that's not it, but that's

a big source of it. And then he's just, he's charismatic. He's young. But I'd have to see more of

what his actual policy proposals would be, of course. But as far as quieter candidates who aren't

obvious, so you have like the new sum in the Harris that are obviously running. Okay. You have

other people being mentioned, Shapiro and Pritzker and some people throw AOC. But in terms of people

who aren't being talked about too much, he really excites me politically. Okay. So that answers

that question. And yeah, he looks kind of like Clark Kent. Okay. Gosh. Oh, gosh. Let's talk about

this now. It's quite remarkable how Trump has turned a movement that was described as ascendant

as cool, finally, as the culturally dominant force for the first time in a very long time. And as

victorious into a dead and decrepit and dilapidated and sad movement of people who are now jumping

ship. And that's, of course, Maga, right? We were in DC during Trump's inauguration. And I was

walking around on the streets because they blocked all the roads. So I had to walk and I was trying

to find my way back home. And people were bumping into me like Trump. Yeah. And I was like, oh, gosh.

And Trump's popularity was still low, but like up from his historical trends. And now you have

streamers who as you saw on screen there, wore their Maga hat and Sneeko, who's this particular

right wing streamer. He's definitely right wing. And he was in the manosphere. And he was doing

like the conspiracy stuff. He wasn't ever like an electoral activist, but he was a part of that

cohort. I would fairly identify him. And now he's going viral for saying, given just how bad Trump

has done, he misses Joe Biden. And he posted on social media, I missed Joe Biden. I didn't know

at first if he was being sarcastic. And then he doubled down on his stream. Look at this.

This is what Trump has done. Did you think this was, think about how much they hated Joe Biden?

Everyone was like, oh, Biden's terrible. And now even these guys are going, what's he?

This was what we had to deal with. We didn't even know how good we had it. Joe Biden would be like,

sniffing a kid. We did not know how good we had it. Biden was, it was just simple. The worst

thing about Joe was that he, he forgot where he was. The worst thing about Trump is anti-Christ

rhetoric and war that nobody wants and a draft and maybe the end of American empire.

I don't know. Oil prices up. U.S. economy tanking. 39 trillion dollars. Joe Biden was,

you ain't black if you don't like me. It was great. We did not know how good we had it with Joe Biden.

I almost forgot that he was president. And now we might get drafted.

The straight of our moves. I'm going to, me and the Ayatollah are going to control it.

I miss Jill. Joe Biden was the go. Joe Biden smelled kids. At least he wasn't in the Epstein files.

You fucking loser. Oh, Biden smelled kids. Trump was friends with Jeffrey Epstein and he's not

releasing the files. Yeah, okay, he snipped the kid. Oh, you smell like peaches and cream. Okay.

Trump is saying that he would date his daughter if she wasn't his daughter. That's the difference.

The lesser of two evils. I miss Joe. So he's trying to be funny. There were some bars that were kind

of funny, but he's saying like, you know, for when I first watched him, I was like, is he being silly?

I mean, he's being silly. But is he being serious? But then once he started bringing up

Epstein and the war, you're like, oh, wait, he actually maybe isn't saying Biden's actually the go,

like the principal time, but he is actually a little bit nostalgic for a time when we all could

forget who the president was. Not literally not us who kept up with it, but you're your average

American. I do think it's feeling that where they're like, I was living and it was easy to forget

who the president was. Not literally, but logistically, experientially, you kind of be like,

you barely would think about it if you're living your life, if you're not a political junkie.

And that's actually a little bit of a gift. Now, of course, there were plenty of problems with Biden

administration, but there were steady governance. There were steady domestic governance. Things were

just kind of happening. Yes, there were many crises that Biden had to deal with because of what

he inherited, but they were handled in a pretty darn steady way. And if the worst thing we'd have

from time to time, as Sneaker put it was a little, then great. This kind of reminded me of whenever

Trump announced his liberation day tariffs and it tanked the stock market and ate in Ross who

was a Trump supporter was captured saying this. So that's kind of reminds me of that. He didn't

post it. Sneaker, that is as someone, I bet you can guess, is calling me during the stream

despite it being very easy to check if I'm live. Close friend of mine doesn't know what I'm live.

So Sneaker also posted, I miss Brock Obama, man. And then later, he posted this Kamala Harris

at it. You've turned a mega guy into a Kamala Harris editor.

So I'm sure Sneaker is doing some rage bait to write wingers who are still loyal to Trump with some

of this. That's so funny. I don't think I could have predicted this that within what is it? What

even months are we in April? Within a month and a year and a few months, you would turn a movement

where it really had become cool among anyone who was a dude with a platform. Anyone who was a dude

with a platform, it was kind of just cool to be a mega guy or at least to culturally associate

with that vibe that Trump could turn that. I think I would have predicted it would have taken longer

to turn that into them literally posting Kamala Harris edits. Now that's not representative of

your average Trump supporter. Even people who are disillusioned with Trump still don't like Kamala Harris

if they previously supported Trump. But these streamers are swinging much harder even than their

audiences. And I think it's because I can't explain it. Part of it is an ambition for attention.

So if you kind of get a little bit of a genuine flutter in your heart of like what Kamala had been

better after being more sociable with the Trump side, then you as a streamer have that inclination

back. I'm going to go hard in the paint on it. And the other aspect is all of these, the eight

and Ross's, the sneakers, the Rogans, the Andrew Schultz, the Etc. Tim Dylan, they were all just going

off of this vibe. And it became a vibe thing to shift in Trump's direction for whatever reason.

So then when the vibe shift the other way, they're more likely to be pushed quickly in that direction.

And yeah, I, I obviously in 2028 want a new fresh face, strong candidate. I referenced John

Oswald would be potentially cool. But it's weird that Trump turned a lot of people into the mindset

that, hey, I wouldn't mind a little bit of this.

Thank you all. God bless you all. Let's go, let's go late and let the world. Let's get it done.

But I tell you what, I know about you, but I'm going to go to bed.

Have a good time. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your service on the bottom of my heart.

Really? Happy Thanksgiving. See y'all.

Oh, who am I giving this to?

We are a community that relies on family, on whole life.

No class was built by the middle class. And the union was built by the middle class.

Yes.

Two of the great artists of our time representing the groundbreaking legacy of hip hop in America.

LLJ Cool J.

That's awesome. You know, well, I'm sure, sure.

What we want to be at war right now, do you understand?

Someone asked me, what if Obama had been president all the way since he was president the first time,

right? So instead of leaving office in 2016, he just stayed in office and then stayed in office,

stayed in office. Now, obviously, you wouldn't want that because of the constitution.

That's not the point. But like as a thought experiment, this person asked me, what would the economy

look like? And I was thinking and I went, well, but the pandemic still would have happened,

but it would have been managed better, the recovery would have been, and then I went, wait, wait, wait.

Let me, let me put this simple, we don't have to do the Obama thought experiment.

What if just not Trump? What if Kamala or Biden was president through this next term?

There still would have been a lot of problems. I don't think they would have been aggressive enough

on addressing income inequality, et cetera. There wouldn't have been some systematic transformation.

But, okay, all right, I got it. Joe, I got it.

Um, but it was kind of like the whole administration during Biden, whoever it was, okay,

his staff or whoever or him. There was this little twig, the fed, right?

A little state government doing a little twig, we're covering us from the pandemic.

And then it kind of was getting in that right spot, inflation, it really cooled,

but you still were chugging. And it was like, all right, there we go. Let's now, this is under control,

start working on those deeper issues that have been there before the pandemic crisis stuff.

And then, and so you wouldn't have had that and you would have had four more years of,

it just kind of chugging, right? Pretty, pretty, none of this. And that's mainly the answer,

right? You extend, you want to have had this insane tax cut bill for the rich and the healthcare

cuts, probably what have seen healthcare expansions, you want to see just more general steady

governance. And that would have been really, really good for the economy.

And so we f'd up, we done f'd up. Okay, that's the real answer. She be cool.

LLJ cool, Jay. I said, ask my mega dad if he had any thought that Trump is the reason his

transmission shop is going out of business after 40 years. I hate that. For the first time,

he had no response, no angry reaction or defense. Well, maybe he's seeing it too, but again,

I just hate that people have to live it to believe it. And some people live it and still don't believe

it. There are people I've talked to who genuinely think something that obviously happened because of

Trump, like gas prices. You might remember that during the Biden administration, gas prices went up

for macroeconomic reasons and post pandemic related reasons and Trump deal related reasons to help

keep the oil companies in business during the pandemic. And then you would explain to people,

yes, Biden should do as much as he can to try to get gas prices down during that spike and inflation.

But here's the reasons why it's not like he did past something that caused this. There's actually

record oil production and then ultimately gas prices have come down going into Trump's term.

And it's so different here. It's not that well, now the gas prices are going up under Trump.

And so we're just going to blame him because it's convenient. It's literally that they were low

a little bit lower than whatever Trump took over, but like expected trends, right?

And then because he started a war, singularly, they skyrocketed.

And still I will talk to people who support him and they're like, no, no, it's something else.

Or, oh, it's just, it's worth it. And that's unfortunate. But for many, it bums me out that they

had to live the damage to believe what we were warning about the damage. Thank you to Rad City

resin for the super chat. And then Keaton Wilkins said, do you think that if when a Democrat president

gets in the office, they will be more aggressive towards change. Or do you think they will go back

to the status quo? Great question. The answer to your question is the 2028 primary. We will have

options. And you will notice in the campaign style, certain candidates will be running on.

What if I just kind of made things back to how they were, right? And some people are going to find

that appealing. Like, hey, I don't want to ruffle any fathers. We'll just kind of try to fix what

Trump broke and leave it there. Didn't there are going to be candidates who say fixing what Trump

broke and getting us back to the status quo is just step one. And then we have nine other steps

that we have to go through to fundamentally transform our economy and our political system.

And that's the kind of the I prefer if the transformation solutions are rational and pragmatic.

So I want someone who's saying because of just how obliterated Trump has

manifests, whatever, obliteration that Trump has manifested onto our country

requires us to 10X our aggression in getting positive things done as opposed to

because of how bad he was, we should just kind of be real

floating in the middle of nowhere and not wanting to do much. That would be my preference.

But I can't tell you what's going to happen because it all comes down to who Democrats

liked as their nominee. All right, let's talk about this. But first, Sassy Frassy said,

no bonus show yesterday. We meant to send out a notification about that and then

forgot. No, there was no bonus show yesterday. We were, we spent that time getting the studio.

We have, you can't see, you could do this. I can't wait. Over there was all covered in boxes.

We've moved now a lot of that. But there were just tons of stuff to unpack as we're building out

the studio. So that was that was the priority yesterday. But there will be a bonus show today.

So click the join button to get it. You may have heard that golf legend and Trump

Bestie Tiger Woods got into another car wreck and was arrested for DUI. And he's now been in like

a bazillion crazy car wrecks. I don't know why his license has not been revoked by now.

But the body cam footage has now been released whenever he was being engaged with law enforcement.

And it's pretty bonkers where he tries to like get out of trouble by leveraging his friendship

with Trump. And that's what this first clip is. And then we'll go through different clips. Take

that down for a second, though. And let me just remind you, because I had to look this up in 2009,

Jayden, you can crop it and then show this. In 2009, he got into he hit a fire hydrant

and a tree outside his home and total his car. In 2017, he was found asleep at the wheel with the

car running and was impaired on prescription drugs and flipped or it was a crash. And then 2021,

he had that rollover crash that was extremely damaging. And then now in 2026, he had another

rollover crash. Um, he's rich. Get a driver tiger tiger. That's kind of funny to address them.

So formerly like that, Mr. Tiger, please get a driver. Um, so here's the body cam footage.

The first clip pretty bonkers. He says, I was just on the phone with the president. They're like,

I can go. I just keep you down here with us, please. Yeah. I'll just talk to you in the president.

The president of your HOA or what? Oh, your friend, Trump? I love that. I mean, it's terrible. He's

trying to get out of trouble, but it's kind of funny. Oh, hey, hey, sorry. I was just talking to the

president. Like what, what was he hoping the police would do? Oh, really? Well, get out of here,

you little goober. We'll deal with this car. I just keep you down here with us, please. Yeah,

I was talking to the president. Why do they need to know that? Why do they need to know that? Hey,

could you walk over here? Yeah, I was talking to the president. Trump, we're friends. I'm Tiger Woods.

I'm a golfer. Do you know me? I'm Tiger. Tiger, which drop? Try your worst drop. We're famous. He's

the president. You good? So that's clip number one. And then we will get to his field sobriety test

that he failed. But first, let's look at this when his manager shows up and goes, he's really sorry

for this. His manager said he's very apologetic for what he did. It's like whenever Justin Timberlake

got into his car wreck and his manager or sister or someone or friend comes up and goes, come on,

can you just do me a favor? Don't you love bye, bye, bye. Don't you love sexy pack? Come on, let

him go. And this why didn't Tiger Woods say I'm sorry? The manager's like, he's standing right

there. He's really apologetic for this whole thing last night. Okay, didn't hear Tiger say that.

And then you have this. He said so much for hitting balls today. You know, because I'm a golfer.

So much for hitting balls today. I got no, it's not even because of the crash that I still could

hit balls today. It's because I got busy on the phone with the president of the United States.

Did you hear me? I said that about the president. And then here you have him saying this. Tell me what

happened real quick. Yeah, I was looking down at my phone. Do you want to look at

shading stations and next year I'll boom. Okay. Are you okay? You heard? Okay. All right. So

it's difficult on this. I need a phone number. You have a phone number for me. Yeah. Okay.

Dang it. I thought they were going to give us the phone number. Tiger. Can you could you share

me Trump's contact information? I swear I won't be mean. Okay. So there's that. And then the field

sobriety test. I mean, how do you not? How do you not watch this? Right? And I have you do is take

your index fingers and point them out like this and then return your hands back to your side. Okay.

So just just like this. Yes, sir. And you're going to remain in this position until I give you

further instructions. Do you understand? Yeah. Perfect. When I tell you to begin, you're going to

tilt your head back at a 45 degree angle and close your eyes. Do you understand? Perfect.

Do you know your left hand from your right hand? Which one is your left? Perfect. Which one is

your right? Great. Alrighty. So like I said, when I tell you to begin, you're going to tilt

your head back at a 45 degree angle. Okay. Don't begin yet. And then you're going to close your

eyes. Don't begin yet. Okay. So you're just going to watch me for the time being. Okay. So

these are so interesting. Justin Timberlake's was so interesting too. And it's not about like

laughing at someone's problem. It feels like there must be a problem here if he keeps

you get one car flip over in your life. You get one. Okay. Use it wisely. Have fun. No. I'm

getting. Um, but by the way, I can't, I just laughed. Okay. Did you hear my laugh? That's

style. I just saw a comment come in and I can't move on. My head can't move on from it.

Someone said, be ball fat. Said, please acknowledge and discuss your tuck across and laugh.

It's possible. I'm wrong. But you laugh kind of like him. No. And like, I don't know. I don't

know if you know how angry that makes me at you. Now, of course, I sound like that another time.

I sound like that. Have you ever heard me do that? Of course, I'm being silly. I love you.

I'm not actually mad at you. But please, please be careful with your language. You hurting my heart.

Oh, I never laughed like that. Other than when I make you fun of him. No, I don't even want to laugh.

Thank you. So it was funny that Tiger Woods was explicitly told not to do the thing with his

head until they told him to. And then he just goes, I'm just proud to say. Did it sound similar?

I am show. I don't even want to laugh now. Guys, don't begin yet. Okay. So you're just going to

watch me for the time being. Okay. So like I said, when I say left, you're going to raise your

left hand directly in front of your face. Touch the tip of your finger to the tip of your nose.

And then immediately return your hand back to your side. Same thing when I say right. You're going to

touch your right finger to the tip of your nose to the tip of your side. And immediately return your

hand back to your side. When I say the tip of your finger, this is the tip of your finger. Okay.

It's not going to be your finger print. It's not going to be your thumbnail. It's not going to be

the side of your finger. This is the tip of your nose. Okay. It's not going to be the side. It's not

going to be the top. It's not going to be the bottom. It's not going to be your nostrils. Okay. Do you

Do you understand?

Do you have any questions?

All right, go ahead and begin.

Make sure you close your eyes.

Left.

To work.

It's just like I explained and demonstrated.

Oh, that's what the test is.

Because with your head back and your eyes closed,

trying to bring your pointer finger up

and touching the tip of your toes.

Tip your nose perfectly is, well, you're not drunk, Jayden.

You don't have to try it or intoxicated.

But there's Jayden testing it.

And he kind of did to do the top of the bridge of his nose

instead of the tip of his nose.

And I can imagine if I were intoxicated,

it'd be kind of hard with my eye shut to find my nose perfectly.

It's kind of hard and general to find your nose perfectly.

If you think about it.

So that's a bummer.

And then this is the final video

where she puts them under arrest.

But what's funny is she doesn't make a deal of it.

She's like, okay, now you put your hands down.

All right, all right.

Now go ahead and the next thing is just turn around for me.

All right, now just put your hands behind your back for me.

All right, now I'm just going to put these hands on.

Like she really did it.

I'm so, so gorgeous about my laugh now.

Thank you.

She doesn't go, all right, sir, you have failed.

Please put your hands behind your back.

You're arrested, right?

It said it's like as if it's the next test.

And then he goes, what the hell?

You tricked me.

All right, you're all done?

Yep.

Take your hands stand up for me.

And then you're going to face my car.

Take that and put your hands behind your back.

Place them behind your back.

There you go.

So at this time, you will hear normal faculties are appear.

Okay, and you're under the, I don't know something.

Okay, so at this time, you're under arrest for the DUI, yes, sir.

Do you have anything on you that's going to pop through for code?

I've never seen someone get arrested like that.

All right, sir, so put your hand on your nose.

All right, and now put your hand to your side.

Okay, now lift your arm up in a 90 degree angle.

All right, now if you just turn around for me,

you're going to put your right arm sort of back

near your buttocks region.

All right, now leave that there.

Put your left arm near your buttocks region.

All right, now put them together

as if handcuffs are going to go on them.

Let's just see how this would look.

All right, perfect.

And now you are under arrest.

It reminds me of the Michael Scott office scene

where he goes.

My idea for getting Osama Bin Laden

is, or was it Dwight?

I think is you send him one.

Yes, sorry.

You send him one piece of a jail sale every day.

And he's constructing it.

And then by the end of the week,

he's accidentally put himself in prison.

That's so funny.

Okay, so that is that he tried to help himself out

by leveraging his friendship with Trump.

Didn't work.

As of now, he's been arrested for Dwight.

I think what I saw was that he took a breathalyzer

and there wasn't any alcohol.

But then he refused to take a urinalysis

where they could see if there were other things in there.

And so she believed that he had some other

drug or something in his bloodstream.

So that is Tiger Woods.

There it is.

All right, you have B ball fat saying,

I'm sorry, I said you laughed like Tucker Carlson.

Yeah, I got it, but the damage is done.

You know, I'm never going to unhear that.

No, I'm getting much love to you.

Brian Love said, if I ever get arrested,

I'm going to say I just got off the phone with Luke Beasley.

So that's funny.

I would love to, I love the idea of someone saying that

and doing it confidently and being like,

oh, I just have to have the phone with Luke Beasley

and the officer being like, with who?

And you'd be like, Luke Beasley?

And they'd be like, oh, what?

Who the hell is that?

Oh gosh, that's funny.

Here we have a good time.

I'm going to try that one time.

The next time I get arrested, I'm going to be like, um,

do you know who I am?

And they're like, no, I'm like, look,

recently I'm a midsize political YouTuber.

I can go now, right?

You might have seen me interviewing Trump supporters.

Have you heard of the grudge?

I did that.

Aren't you a fan of the grudge?

Come on, let me go.

Classic.

But that's honestly to me, it's as absurd to say that as it is to reference Trump.

It doesn't matter.

You did.

If you did a cry, you should be arrested.

Brian Love also sent a different super chat with no comment.

I appreciate that.

Then stupid human musing said two terms is an amendment based on a tradition.

It's a rule after F or D, but I'm assuming we're talking about F

D or unless there's a different president.

Because not only, no only liked having a good leader in office because capitalism.

So I think what this person's getting at is that, you know, I referenced,

I wouldn't have won Obama to be president longer than two terms because of the constitutional

amendment.

And then they're saying, well, that was only put in place because the powers that

B were trying to prevent a really popular president from just being president for a really long time.

I hear you.

There's certain presidents that you go, it would have been nice to have longer of them.

Like if Obama ran for a third term, I think he would have won.

And obviously that would have been better than Trump if it weren't for the constitutional

amendment that we respect because we love, we love the law in the constitution.

But I think in the long term in our system, there's something very beneficial

about a president governing and knowing they only have a maximum of eight years and at four

years having to check in with the American public and go, you still want this?

Because otherwise the executive branch has so much power over our systems

that if they knew they could have power until their death if they just figured a way to

leverage their power to keep them in self-impower, you would have them spending a lot of their

time in office not just thinking about trying to do a good job, but of breaking down the barriers

to them being in power longer, consolidating power in a more authoritarian way.

One of the reasons I think we're going to get out of Trump's authoritarianism is because he is

term-limited out and because he's pretty old. But you can imagine someone who's Trumpian

but younger and authoritarian like Trump. If we didn't have those term limits for presidents,

I think they would be able to kind of finish what Trump has started and then more totally

degrade our democratic system. So I actually think it's a good thing, but I do understand that it's

weird that we as Americans need an amendment to prevent us from just accidentally putting the

same person in power until they're a king, like that is kind of weird. Keaton Wilkins said,

wanted to say there's only two political commentators I listened to. You and John Stewart,

that is a humongous compliment. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Okay, let's see,

what are we doing next? This one's the biggie. This one is what the title is referencing.

And let's get into it now. Fascinating stuff. Apparently, Trump behind the scenes

has become a little bit paranoid and has had to be doing headfakes with even his top advisors

to prevent them from knowing about certain things so that they don't leak out like

Iran operational decisions because things are getting very leaky. And he has a list of people

that he potentially wants to fire. It may not just be Pambondi. I'm also going to show you

video of what appears to be the moment that Trump fired Pambondi and she reportedly begged,

please don't do this. And then after begging in private, don't do this to me. And him saying,

no, you're out. She went, can I stay at least a little summer? And he said, no. And then she came

out and public and went, hi guys, I am really, really excited. I have to leave the DOJ for a private

sector job that I'm really hyped about and had to do that whole dog and pony show. So before

we get to that, here's the reporting on referencing. Trump was reportedly so worried about leaks

that he lied to staffers about calling off the operation in Iran. In the weeks before the

attacks were carried, the president also became increasingly aware of leaks. Trump reportedly

exploded at AIDS and fired off a string of profanities in response to a February 17th report

from the New York Times revealing the US was preparing for military action in Iran. This led him

carrying out a number of precautionary headfakes. And then he did like a, hey everyone,

we're not doing it anymore. I don't know, there's something funny about that. You get everyone

to plan the operation. And then you're like, never mind so that they won't leak it. Trump became

wary enough of leaks that some of his own AIDS were the target of subterfuge on September or

February, excuse me, 27. He's traveled to Marlago, AIDS assembled in a makeshift situation room.

Trump braced to let the number of people present. He let the group was too big. One official

recalls include people Trump didn't recognize or didn't feel he knew well enough at one point

the president snapped that the operation was off. He said he would keep deliberating. This was

another head fake. Trump had clearly already made up his mind to attack that night. So they're

describing as like subterfuge and Trump's doing advanced geopolitical headfakes strategic,

like smoke and mirrors and all it was was him going, I've changed my mind. It's off. All right,

everyone leave. It's still on. That was the subterfuge. But he is reportedly considering firing

more people and is becoming less trustworthy of those around him. First, let's look at this where

in this Fox News reporting, they show a camera caught. Trump and Pam Bondy talking in the beast,

the big limo, leaving the Supreme Court, which is reportedly where he fired him. So we caught

the moment where she's getting the news. A Fox News alert on the outsting of Pam Bondy as the

attorney general. We are getting brand new details from the White House. John, you joining us

jumping in on the news, Todd Blanche, John set to become the interim AG. But all of this happening

interestingly enough, after yesterday, we saw both of them, President Trump and Pam Bondy,

at the Supreme Court to hear the oral arguments. Excellent point, Sandra, about the timing,

because so podcast listeners right, other walking out of the Supreme Court, it looks like together

and he's like, here, come get in my car with me. We're just going to do small talk, right?

Maybe that's when Trump finally made up his mind because it looked he had to leave that oral

argument thinking that he's going to take a loss on what is one of his core central policy

genders and immigration. And there it is. So apparently the Supreme Court losses he's been getting

contributed, I guess, to him firing her, but right here, he's saying, Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam,

to use an office quote, you are, um, you're out for what theft? I've never stolen as much as a

sticky note while you take almost sticky note, 50 cents a piece, you're making a serious margin.

It was Ryan's idea. Okay, sorry, I'm getting completely into residing the office thing. But yeah,

so that was it. And it's not going to stop there reportedly. I can't wait for this other thing

showing you that, uh, let's just do it now. After I think this was after the Supreme Court,

he calls out Pam Bondi. He's like, you're my great friend. She's sitting there knowing she's about

to be fired. Attorney General Pam, my friend Pam Bondi. And we just left the Supreme Court.

I didn't realize it's the first time in history that a president went to the Supreme Court.

So imagine that you fire someone. They're devastated. It's not like other times where you've seen

reports that someone decides like, like, Mike Waltz, you're after that whole debacle. You know,

that he's not whatever the position you was in anymore. It didn't seem like he was like, please,

no, it's like he kind of showed up. I'll be the ambassador. And in this case, she actually was

saying, no, I don't please, please, please, please. And then he has to go sit at an event with him.

And normally he goes, Pam's in the audience doing a great job. And then stage goes, my friend Pam,

hi. And then licks his lips really weirdly. But that's not as notable. Here it is. Trump

moles more cabinet firings. He's very angry. And he's going to be moving people. And the photograph

that media uses that gives you a hint is a man by the name of Howard Lutnik. Maybe he'll be next

on the shopping block. President Donald Trump may not be done terminating cabinet members.

Hours after Attorney General Pam Bondi was shown the door on Thursday, political reported that Trump

may have his sights on commerce secretary. Howard Lutnik next. And then the labor secretary,

Laurie Chavez-Dirimmer. And the labor secretary was the one that we talked about the reports where

she was accused of bringing her labor department subordinates to a strip club and keeping booze

in her desk. And even when I was like, don't bring your subordinates to a strip club. But who

doesn't have booze in their desk? Not me. But like, you know what I'm saying? So she got in some hot

water because of that Howard Lutnik spent on the nice ever since he went out and said, I've never,

I told my wife would never going to see Jeffrey Epstein ever again after that one time.

Six. And then he ended up hanging out with Epstein all the time after that was caught in a big

old lie. The other interesting aspect to this is that Jeanine Piro, this one, the former Fox

host Judge Jeanine, who talks like this all the time. She is reportedly part of the reason.

Hey, Pam, come here. Come here. Turn around. Oh, there's a knife in your back. She put a knife

in Pam's back is what I'm seeing in these in the, what I'm hearing on the hill, um, which is,

I gotta say that more often. What I'm hearing from my sources on the hill is that Judge

Jeanine wants to be the attorney general. And so she was bad-mathing, mal thing,

Pam Bondy to Trump. Jeanine Piro was allegedly bad-mathing, Pam Bondy behind her back as part

of a desperate bid to replace her as attorney general sources told the outlet that Judge Jeanine

left her nearly $3 million a year job, not just to be the DC US attorney, but ultimately

to climb up the ladder and become attorney general. The judge is very close to the president,

talks them all the time. And she'd been trying to put the knife in Bondy saying she's not a prosecutor.

It doesn't have control over the building. So this might be a part of why it happened. There's

different people who had reasons. They want, I also saw Alina Haba was trying to become the attorney

general. So she's one of the people on the list. So now that Piro is in the headlines, you go,

what's the deal with Jeanine Piro? Well, now you got her ex-fruimate coming out and saying,

Jeanine's crazy, which shocking. My solution, bomb them is the famous quote from Jeanine Piro.

And you have this report. Jeanine Piro, the former Fox News host and current US attorney for

the District of Columbia is now among the leading candidates to succeed Pampondi. Her ex-fruimate

has a lot to say about her. Now, I don't know why this outlet. I think the New York magazine did

this deep dive into the roommate's stories about living with Jeanine. Apparently they're working

on a book together. So Jeanine had her move in the friend that is DiPolo. So DiPolo is the friend

into Piro's basement. And instead of being like friends who live together and are working on a

book together. And then DiPolo sued Jeanine because maybe she like took the book or something.

Not a situation I'm familiar with, but instead DiPolo was treated kind of like an assistant

to Piro. And that slided her. But there's some details that I'm like, why are these in here? When

she was getting her makeup done, DiPolo says Piro would pat around the house wearing nothing,

but panties, high heels, and stickers on her. I don't know why that's in there, which DiPolo

found amusing. But her state turned out to be less than comfortable experience. I'm just reading.

I don't know what the heck that was in there for DiPolo had to deal with the mice in the basement.

Seven guns stashed around, which DiPolo recalls Piro saying we're all loaded.

Piro barring her from touching the Fiji water. And Piro's obsession with keeping household expenses

down. One time she berated DiPolo for the hallway light being on overnight.

Worst of all, this light isn't free. We've all heard it from a parent. Worst of all was that

DiPolo started to feel like the help. There were numerous times she says when Piro asked her to clean

up dog feces deposited by Piro. Just kidding. Piro's enormous poodles. My dogs when they poop,

it's like sick. Piro tells me, according to DiPolo, there was a Polo. Have I been saying DiPolo?

DiPolo. There was also that time that she was invited to a wedding held at the house and then

was forced to clean the windows before the guests arrived. Hey, DiPolo. Don't care about any of that.

I saw roommate exposes. I'm like, there's probably some crazy things you witness whenever Piro,

if you lived with Janine Piro. And then the excerpt starts off with her walking around naked. I

don't need to know that. Okay, tell her not to if that made you feel weird. But you know,

some roommates are okay with that. My roommate sure was. No kidding. DiPolo later sued Piro claiming

her would be co-author had little regard for truth and accuracy and owed her nearly $30,000.

And Piro denied all that. It's added that she denies these allegations. I don't even know what

the heck they are other than maybe she ripped her off of some money, which would be bad, of course.

And I don't put it past Janine Piro. So that might be the next turn in general. Maybe Janine Piro's

plot the whole time was to sink the Pambondi ship. And then other huge notable part of this is

that maybe Howard Lutnik or the labor secretary are next. I would love to see Howard Lutnik fired. Now,

let me say one last piece, though. If how do I word this properly? If you jog poops in the house

and you keep throwing away the poop, but you don't address the fact that the dog thinks it's

allowed to poop in the house, you haven't really solved the problem. Half you. If you just get

DiPolo, you say don't touch the Fiji water and don't care that I'm in high heels only. Never heard

of such a thing. But clean up my dog's feces, my quote unquote massive poodles.

And you keep getting DiPolo to clean up the poop, but you don't address the fact that it's the

dog doing the pooping. Nothing's been fixed. Okay. So in this analogy, Lutnik, piece of poop,

Pambondi, piece of poop, labor secretary, piece of poop, etc. Hegseth, piece of poop.

Should I keep going? I'll keep going. Love it, piece of poop. But as much as I'm happy to see that

someone's throwing away the poop, ultimately you're going to have to address the dog, which is Trump,

right? And the fact that he's firing these people should not let him get off, Scott free.

It is his responsibility, everything that has happened. All the damaging PR that Bondi has

gotten was for Trump. And so ultimately he is the pooping poodle. And I think there's no other

better way to explain it. Okay. Good. You have stupid human musing saying lagged agree, but how's

that working out for us? Was that in relation to, oh, in terms of the wishing we could have

had a good president for longer than two terms? How's that working out for us? I mean, in the grand

scheme of the world, good. Our system has been pretty dang cool. And if you look at general trends

of poverty and of human suffering and of lifelong jeopardy and of infant mortality and different

things, we've made amazing strides. And we've become the most powerful country on the planet

within this system that we've created. So there's some great things. We've established amazing

international organizations that have addressed global problems like the UN and the World Health

Organization. And we've helped to establish defensive organizations that stabilize the world

like NATO. So lots of good things have come of our system. And yes, we're in a bad backslide right

now. But number one, don't let that erase the progress we've made even in a short period time.

We've only been around 250 years. We made some great strides. And also we will get out of this,

I believe. I really do believe we're going to get out of this and then continue making that

progress. So while the backslide can make you lose hope in our system or even question,

if it should be completely gotten done with, I don't think that is the correct prescription.

That's just my stance on the whole ordeal, but I understand the discontent. All right, let's do we

want to do this? Should we? How many seconds have we done? One, two, three, four, five. Let's go ahead

and do a six because then we get to hear my role. Speak very smoothly. And I'll say sexily. It is.

It's true. But before we get to that, we have talk about Trump's speaking, which is less sexy.

Can you say? I've never got a sensual vibe because everyone ever goes,

yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what it is. So I haven't forgotten that now apparently there's a person

out there who thinks I sound like, I haven't gotten over it. I just wanted you to know. I love you.

Appreciate you. But I want you to know that sticking with me. And actually, I should say,

thank you so much to Ken Degy for becoming a member by clicking the join button on YouTube.

All right, French President Emanuel Macron has now responded to Trump taking a little bit of a

jab at Macron. And I'll show you Macron's response in a second here. But first, let's look at what Trump said.

He's still recovering from the right to the jaw. And I say, Emanuel, we'd love to have some help in

the Gulf, even though we're, and he says, no, no, Mr. Trump is always House Trump and mutates people

at sea. If you'll do it here, setting records and knocking out bad people and knocking out ballistic

missiles, we'd love to have some help. If you could, could you please send ships immediately? No,

no, no, no. Yeah. Cannot do that. Don't know. We can see he can do that after the war is won.

I said, no, no, I don't need after the war is won. Emanuel many of them said, we'll be there after

the war is completed. And so I no, no, no, Mr. Trump, I cannot do that into the war is over. That's

his French accent. It's the same way that he imitates Melania and Xi Jinping and everyone.

No, no, no, Mr. Trump. Um, so there's that, right? And the substance of what he's saying,

he took the shot about Michael, uh, Michael's, Macron's wife, um, and Michael,

so they have my boyfriend. No, Michael, you didn't take a shot at Michael. Michael treats Mr.

Luke so bad. I called up Luke on the phone. I said, what are you doing? He said, no, no, no,

Michael is very good. And I said, okay. No, no, no, Macron. Um, and the thing he's referencing

with the right hook was, of course, this was caught on video as Macron was about to get off a plane.

So as far as marital slaps go, that was a legit one. It looks like Brigitte gave him a good,

but he could not have recovered better and more quickly. Now that's, you know, that's

there, but I don't know what's going on there. But the fact that Trump said it was obviously a low

blow. And I can't get over how he turns to the camera and goes, hey, haha, what up? You didn't see

that? Look how happy I am. That is kind of funny. But that's what Trump was referencing. And so

then Macron says, all right, Trump, you want to go? Let's go. Let me, um, read the, read the

subtitles for all of you because not many of you spring speak French, probably. So here we go.

The reporter says, he even addresses you directly, making a personal hints about your relationship.

How will you respond? Do you consider his words an attack on France? And Macron says, listen,

don't want to go back. We're talking about something too serious. We're talking about the war.

Today, we talked about the women and men fighting the women and men and civilians who are dying.

And the war raging on in this region. We also discuss the consequences of this war for our economy.

I'm thinking about our fellow citizens. Americans are going through the same thing gas prices are

rising. And therefore, the comments you reference are neither elegant nor adequate. So therefore,

I will not answer the question. Does not deserve an answer. We need to move towards de-escalation,

a ceasefire, and a resumption of negotiations. Something alone can seriously resolve what is at stake

in the region. And what is important for the civility of all our partners and all of us,

and also for the resumption of free movement, the resumption of economic exchanges, which we need.

And then I do have a second clip, but I'm doing pretty good reading those captions.

You know, whenever I have to translate like Putin, he'll be like,

I'll be like, hello.

And that's all I had to translate with him. He's like moving fast, moving really, really fast.

So then here's the second portion of his response to Trump's comments there. So he said,

it's not elegant or adequate. And it is not addressing the crises that Trump has started.

So Macron's going pretty hard against Trump. He's doing a

figurative palm to the face. Do you understand what I'm saying? Trump's going to make a reference to

his palm to the, he's doing a rhetorical palm to the face of Trump. Here we go. Okay.

He talks too much and he goes too much in all directions. Here we are. And so I think the world

needs stability. I think we all need stability. Calm and a return to peace.

This is not a show. We are talking about peace. We're talking about war. We're talking about

people's lives, men and women. We're talking about the situation of all countries.

And when the crisis they face and we're all the economic stability of our countries, whether

in Europe, the United States, of America or here in Asia, everyone is affected. So we have to

be serious and we are serious. You don't say every day the opposite of what you said the day before

and perhaps you don't need to speak every day. What we need to do is calm things down and build a

lasting peace. Here we are. Yeah. So he's like, you talk too much. You contradict yourself too much.

It is a bummer because this is actually what it sounds like. It's like this beautiful. It's

just like, beautiful. And then I'm like, you talk too much. I hate that. I really hate that for

all of you. I wish you could hear it in how it probably sounds in French. But I have to,

like this part, let's see what he says here.

Which is awesome. And then it's like, oh, it's so beautiful. And then I'm like, we need stability.

Ye-haw. That's just life though, isn't it? I mean, we all have our different languages.

And then he says this and this one he was speaking in English. That makes my job easier.

So there you say, I don't like your regime. I don't like your organization. I consider you as

threatening your neighbor. So I will intervene and bomb you. You open a Pandora box because nobody,

I mean, you see what I mean. I'm sorry. I hate to do this again, but you open Pandora box.

And I say, don't go open in Pandora's box. Who's Pandora and why are you messing with a box?

Because nobody, I mean, why shouldn't the author do the same? Your run is a very bad regime.

No, no discussion about that. I disagree with them on a lot of topics. But I don't believe that we

will fix the situation just by bombings or by military operations. Look at what happened with

this type of operation in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Libya, we never delivered. Never, even after 20 years.

So you have to respect the sovereignty of people. If people want to change a regime, they want to

react. Step up. They can do so. Having such an agenda shared by Korea, France, and bringing with

the other Europeans, Canada, Japan, India, Brazil, Australia, you start having a sort of third way.

Those who don't want to be dependent on China are aligned by definition with the US.

Yeah, so he makes the points we've been making, right? Which is, of course, we all wish the Iranian

regime were something else. Absolutely. And if we take three seconds to examine not even distant

history, very recent history, and then take some conclusions away from it about the success rate

of bombing our way into making a country more friendly to us, then we'd go, oh, that doesn't work

very often, if ever. And not if ever. Okay, you know, well, we're two, we did all that stuff,

and then ultimately like Japan and Germany, we became allies. But in the context we're talking

about here, especially in Middle Eastern countries, we've just failed. We've failed over and over.

And so the fact that we haven't learned anything from that is so illogical.

And that we should be using all sorts of different mechanisms to try to unite countries

around our principles and bolster that alliance as it contrasts against China's alliances.

But just going in there and destabilizing and making more hostile of regime towards us,

but not having a plan really for how this leads to this utopic version of the end of this

war that Trump has portrayed is deeply irrational. Did you see? I tried to stay very serious at the

end there because I got a little bit too off the rails in the middle of that Macron segment. So

that was very, very serious. All right, let me just quickly say thank you to Keith Peevy House,

not only for the Super Chat, but for saying your laugh does not sound like an insane Mickey Mouse

off his meds being Tucker Carlson. Good to hear. Keaton Wilkins says the Tucker Carlson laugh is

relatively rare. So it happens. You're telling me that sometimes I go, because a big part of it is

not just laughing or a high pitch laugh, it's this certain out of nowhere, burst of the

Braco often going from a higher pitch to a lower pitch. Yeah, okay. So kind of goes up and goes

it's not just and then it's closing immediately. Do I go? I mean, sometimes when I'm being funny,

like what I'm doing a thing, but not I'm not on accident, whatever. Shout up. Okay. I appreciate

all of you so much. That's today's show. What a show it was. Thank you for joining us. We'll be back

on Monday. Have a wonderful weekend. Much love to you all. Talk to you then.
