Economic uncertainty is at an all time the likes of which the world has never seen. To quote Trump, put this chart up. Uncertainty has exploded under Trump and you can see here where the pandemic was global uncertainty. It's twice as high now under Trump. He is such a disaster economically. And all of these country club Republicans and all of these rural white voters think that this man is good at business. Despite the facts on the ground, despite the fact that he's filed bankruptcy, despite the fact that he's a liar, despite the fact that he was in debt when he was running for president, despite the fact that he ran for president to stay out of prison. They fucked around and now we're finding out. Next up, here's a headline. Everybody that works with Musk hates his guts. No surprise to anyone. Quote, he's just the most irritating person I've ever had to deal with. And that is saying something. One official reportedly said Trump officials growing tired of unfunny and irritating Musk. Per the Daily beast. This surprises me. 0 this is a man that cheats on video games, acts like he speaks, speaks English as a second language. He has been an absolute failure. He's a welfare queen that lives off taxpayer money. He is just the biggest disaster on the planet.

So we've got the art of the deal. That's Mr. Bankruptcy. Then we've got the welfare queen both running around on Fox News playing victim 2024 7. It is just amazing to me that these people are like, oh yeah, Trump, he's just, he knows everything. He's playing 5D chess. I'm like, he is a dipshit being led by dipshits. And every all those gamers that said Musk is going to die alone. I kind of think they're right.

And I read an article today that a bunch of hedge fund guys and, you know, remember, a lot of these Wall street bros thought, we're going to jump on the Trump train. This will be great. We can say the R word again. We can say, this is awesome. We're liberated now. Same guys, these same Wall street bros who were just going after money. No principle have said, you know, we kind of think he's insane. And I'm like, oh, now you think he's crazy. Like, is everybody in this country slow? Did you not see January 6th? Did you not see a whining titty baby for four years that couldn't admit that he lost? Kids that play basketball at the YMCA that are five years old have to go say, good game, good game and high five. He packed his toys up from the White House left, and then went on a pity party tour when he wasn't in court for his felony charges. And then, of course, Musk has to pay $300 million to Trump to help him get elected, rig the algorithm because they can't win on their own merit and put up these stats. So Musk is an oligarch that has infiltrated the government. Usually oligarchs are outside the government. He has infiltrated inside the government. Let's see what he's done since he's been in there. Musk Doge anticipates savings. 150 billion. The number keeps going down because when he first started it was 2 trillion, and then it was down to 1 trillion. Then it was down to 200 billion. And yesterday in the cabinet meeting, now we're down to 150 billion. All while spending goes up to 700 billion this year and we do a $5 trillion tax cut. Dogeous failed. This is an absolute disaster. This is what happens every time Republicans get elected. They add to the deficit every single time. Democrats usually balance the budget and end with a surplus. They wreck the economy. We see, you know, all of these charts haywire. And more than anything, he's de legitimizing American businesses. And this is an authoritarian play. We like to say that he's a dipshit and he is, but he's very good at being a propagandist. And all of this, all of, all of this is so that he can demean every single institution we have, so that he can put himself in power. He has a Supreme Court helping him and he has all of these dumb asses in Congress helping him. And now you have these hedge fund guys helping him. So it's going to be interesting to see, because white Republicans like their money, Trump is screwing up Everybody's ability to make money. And Biden handed him a really good economy, per the Wall Street Journal, per conservative economists.
Political Commentator 2
First of all, I don't think the billionaires have found, Jesus, Trump, I think that they're losing money. They see how volatile and how poorly he's running the economy and they're going to lose money. And I think on Mask, I think he says it's 150 billion. We have yet to see any proof of that. There is no transparency. There have been no prosecutions, there have been no documents that support that. So as of right now, it's just him shutting down investigations into himself and awarding himself more government contracts.
Political Commentator 1
So pumps. And I have had this theory that Musk and Trump have. They did a bunch of nefarious stuff together during the election. And since they won a lot of illegal stuff in the government, so that they have mutually assured destruction. Well, Musk lost after he spent upwards of $20 million in Wisconsin to try to buy a Supreme Court seat. He lost miserably. Trump hates losers. And then Musk was kind of gone for a while. He was awol. I didn't see him anywhere. So then of course, Trump has to have one of his circle jerk cabinet meetings where everybody's like, oh my God, you're so great, because bootlicker, circle jerk, nauseating North Korea style propaganda thing you've ever seen. A strong government would never have to do such a thing. Elon Musk is back. And it sounds to me like they, there's been some. If you don't do this, I'm going to do that. And so listen to Trump talking to Musk in the cabinet meeting. And then let's dissect.
Donald Trump
Elon's done a fantastic job. Look, he's sitting here and I don't care. I don't need Elon for anything other than I happen to like him. But I'm telling you, this guy, this guy did a fantastic job. I don't need his car. I actually bought one because. And they said, oh, did you get a bargain? No, I said, give me the top price. I paid a lot of money for that car. But honestly, he makes, he makes a great car.
Political Commentator 1
Okay. Why would he say, I don't need anything from him? I think that's a very interesting thing to say. Elon's here and he's doing a great job. I don't need anything from him except that I like him. Why would he go out of his way to say he doesn't need him when he campaigned with him and he Said, you get, you know, he's going to figure out how to cut all this waste. And for him to sit there and say he doesn't need him to me, is a pretty interesting thing to say.
Political Commentator 2
I go back and forth between everything Trump says, projection. So I believe he absolutely needed Elon to win the election. He needed all the money that he campaigned for. He ran PACs, all of those. But I think Trump is so narcissistic that now it's. He can't stand that Elon has all the power, that Elon stands over him at every Cabinet meeting. So I think it's starting to break. Just because two narcissists cannot exist in the same space that long, there's no way.
Political Commentator 1
And I think that's kind of like a slam.
Political Commentator 2
It was emasculating for sure to sit.
Political Commentator 1
There and say, I don't need him, I just like him. And I don't know if maybe when. When Musk thought, I'm 10 foot tall and bulletproof, I bought Donald Trump, I bought the presidency. And then he thought his money, he could start dictating elections nationwide. Well, it didn't work with the horse that they backed in Wisconsin. So then Trump would feel emboldened to say, well, it wasn't Elon after all. I'm just a winner. I'm so great. Right?
Political Commentator 2
You are so right. Right, exactly right.
Political Commentator 1
So he's like, your money. Maybe your money helped me, maybe it didn't, you know, like. But you put all this money on that guy and he lost, you know, he lost to a woman. And so, I don't know, I just think that's a pretty interesting dynamic between the two. And I think we're at the beginning of Heartbreak Hotel, and I think this is all going to be fascinating and fun to watch. Hopefully the destruction isn't too bad. But here we have. This is Pam Bondi sucking up to Elon Musk after she pardoned and took place in pardoning all of the January six cop beaters, convicted felons, a lot of whom have already recommitted, and guess what they've done. They've sexually abused children. That's what this administration is for. All right, play the clip.
Pam Bondi
If it's a directive to prosecute the people who are going after Tesla to the fullest extent of the law, some of the greatest police work I've seen. We've made four arrests. There will be no negotiations at your directive. They're all looking at 20 years in prison. And when the. Within the next 24 hours, you're going to be seeing another huge arrest on a Tesla dealership president. And that that person will be looking at at least 20 years in prison with no negotiations.
Political Commentator 1
It's pathetic.
Political Commentator 2
This is corruption of the highest order. She has been told by President Trump, give 20 years to somebody who does a property crime because your little boyfriend Elon is such a snowflake that he can't handle. People don't like him because he's a Nazi. This is infuriating. She should be impeached right now, today. She is a disgrace to the bar and the Attorney General's office and the Department of Justice. This just sends me into orbit.
Political Commentator 1
And she does it with her Christian cross on all these MAGA women do. But let's check in on the crazy Christian MAGA ladies and God's design.
Christian Conservative Activist
And one of the things that's really bothered me that, that I've been fighting is these green New Deal policies that really go against God's design for nature and how he created this, this world that we live in. Can you talk? I know you've been very active in and vocal on solar panels and some of these alternative energy initiatives. Can you talk a little bit about your position there and the work you're doing in D.C. in that front?
Political Commentator 1
Sure.
Political Commentator 2
I've been very outspoken about this.
Political Commentator 1
It's a sham. The whole climate change is a sham. First of all, God controls the climate because he controls the sun and the sun controls the weather, primarily. Okay. I want our international listeners to know that is not an SNL skit. That is real and that is the crazy Christian problem that America has. And that crazy Christian problem is at the epicenter of Trump's base. These are the people that don't blink. They don't hesitate. They are hollow. All they see is Trump is a prophet appointed by Jesus. And that's the depth. That's the end of it. That's all it is. Trump could all of a sudden change his mind on anything and they would just jump right on board with it. This crazy Christian problem is insane. And we live in Oklahoma. And I can tell you this is very real. Women like this are dead ass serious. They think they're scientists. They think that everything that happens in the world is a part of some master spiritual warfare plan. And they're all maggot Republicans. And there are little Christian schools all over the United States right now where kids are learning the same type of dogma.
Political Commentator 2
I can't even believe that that is real. That is, like you said, it seems like it would be an SNL skit. This is embarrassing for the entire American. Every American should be horrified of this. This person should be take. I mean, these people are too stupid to live. Like, I don't, I don't know what you say to this. You cannot. This is irrational. It's crazy. It just goes back to no expertise, no facts, they don't matter. We're just going to go and God controls the climate, so we don't need to worry about it.
Political Commentator 1
Okay? And then next up, the Chinese are trolling out of the United States of America. And I just want to make sure everybody's seen this because Trump keeps saying that he wants all these manufacturing jobs here, like making Nikes and iPhones. Here's what Chinese AI has made. And all of this is going viral. And you know, this is the way a lot of the world views America through this lens. You know, major obesity problem, junk food, lazy. And. And it's so interesting because it's such a juxtaposition from what the right wing manosphere thinks that everybody thinks about America. And if you travel abroad or you have friends that are international, they think we're so arrogant and loud and just gluttonous. And Trump is the manifestation of all of America's worst impulses. The love of capitalism, the just gluttony, the crazy Christians that we. The rules don't apply to us because we're Americans. We're so exceptional. It's all been birthed right now. And now the worst this country has to offer is in charge of the executive branch. And I hope that we can survive. I hope that there will be a reckoning. He is wrecking all of this very quickly, which means the reckoning will come sooner. So hopefully we can save our democracy. And you can help by supporting pro democracy channels like ours.
