Are leaking Trump's failing cognitive and physical health. In a new bombshell reporting from the Daily Beast, White House aides are unmasking just how dire Trump's physical and cognitive decline has become. And then in this excerpt, it says, this morning, we learned from a new set of leaks from the Oval that physical and cognitive issues are a major issue. Behind closed doors, which we knew because his aides are whispering that they cannot get Trump to focus on the most basic task of the presidency, keeping the economy rolling, they're leaking that they cannot get him to focus, a result of both physical and mental failings. Instead, he's playing with toys, planning elaborate and tacky building works and thirsting over gold. And the leaks are not just casual gossip. These aides are speaking out because they fear Trump is almost literally sleepwalking into a midterm disaster.
Pumps
Well, I mean, I think you know what my response to this is. No shit, Sherlock. Like, you're not hiding it. We see this every day. The fact that you, the sycophants in the room that have to smell his farts, the fact that you all are leaking, it tells me it's even worse than we think. Does anybody question his priority is his ballrooms and gold and, you know, aggrandizing himself every single day, all day.
Unknown Female Host
It.
Pumps
This is not news. But it's interesting to me as we get closer to the midterms in Trump 1.0, it leaked like a sieve. These people are bottom feeders deluxe that hit the jackpot getting to work for the President of the United States, the office of the President of the United States. But unfortunately, they got this guy. And so now we're starting to, as his lame duck status is his cognitive issues, the dementia is on full display. He can't control his mouth. He can't control temper. He has no impulse control. Is that is showing more in public now. They're leaking it. So now we see a lot more leaks than we did in the last, I would say, 30 days than we've seen in Trump 2.0 at all. least that's what it feels like.
Unknown Male Host
Well, and I completely believe this because the polling that we've seen for the midterms, all of it looks really bad for the Republicans. And there was reporting this week that many Republicans are being advised to distance themselves from Trump because of his, you know, complete disaster on the war in Iran. We know, like Pump said, that his physical and cognitive health is in decline. I mean, we saw him on video playing with toys in the Oval Office the other day. When he was talking about his new project of Dulles Airport, you know, it's going to be the greatest airport anywhere in the world. So, yeah, this isn't breaking news, but it is important to remind people that our president is mentally ill and he has dementia, and it's a very big problem.
Pumps
Very.
Kylie
And we've got a headline here. Trump Exasperated on Iran as top Officials Can't Agree on Strategy. Sources say the president erupted at some of his top national security officials during a recent meeting, according to a US Official and a person familiar with the discussion. So this just adds to what we were just talking about. It's not surprising, but I do think it is interesting that more leaks are coming out. Like you said, I think people are distancing themselves. And I think this man who. He always has had some kind of control. He's good at what he does. I think he's losing that control.
Pumps
Well, he's. The mental illness and the age it's all wrapped up into, he cannot control his impulses. He used to be able to read a room a little bit. He can no longer do that. You know, at the White House Correspondence center. Usually in a situation where it's just bomb after bomb after bomb, he would. He would, you know, abort, go off on something else, but he can't do that now. He has just blame the speechwriters. What's interesting about the article on Iran is this is not the first time we are hearing that he is blowing up at national security. And he's exasperated because this war is such a quagmire. He never faced his accountability. I got us into a war because Bibi told me to, and I had no plan. I have no strategy. I have the biggest fucking dipshit on the planet as my secretary of defense who has fired or demoted the most competent people at this time. And at the end of the day, he's bored. He. They're not talking about him globally. They're talking about what just a complete and utter failure, this is. Allies are turning against him, and so he can't stay in his little bubble, that I'm going to make everything better. And that only, you know, accelerates his malignant narcissism that he. It's a wound like his approval ratings are in the low 30s. He is. It would be impossible for him to get reelected if he wasn't old as fuck and termed out because his popularity is so low. The lies have caught up with him, and it can't be his fault. So it's got to be everybody else's. Fault. And I'll just say this for the record, didn't he tell us a year ago that he had obliterated everything in Iran? And we have heard for months on end, almost on a daily basis how Iran is completely neutralized. They're going to hit him big. They've done all this. They don't have any kind of military control yet. We're still here, and we're going to continue to be here because he is a dipshit that had no plan, surrounded by dipshits that have no plan.
Unknown Male Host
Not only have we completely obliterated all of Iran's defense capabilities, but we've ended eight wars that no one seems to be able to name, which they are in response to this NBC News report. I mean, it's the same shit, different day. We know that Trump doesn't read any of his briefings, that he has to be, you know, given information in the most simple way possible, a picture literature, book. So I don't know how this is surprising to anyone that this has ended in catastrophe and that he's, of course, putting all the blame on anyone but himself.
Kylie
Well, there's a dipshit who used to be a Trump supporter who agrees with us. Now Alex Jones is calling for Trump's impeachment.
Unknown Female Host
That's a war. I mean, this is absolutely out of control. And so I'm calling for it right now. 25th amendment, impeachment, whatever needs to happen to get this front and center to get control of our country, it's impeachable alone.
Kylie
He sounds like RFK Jr.
Pumps
I was just wondering whose voice is worse in podcasting? Is it Alex Jones or, I mean, rfk? Does he still have a podcast? Obviously, he'd be the leader in the clubhouse, but Ben Shapiro with his little
Kylie
mouse, oh, my God.
Pumps
I don't know how these people make it in these mediums, but that's here nor there. Plus, his eyeballs, like, yeah, he's roided up. I mean, whatever. But the reality is you've got Tucker Carlson saying, this war is a disaster, you've got to get out. You've got Megyn Kelly, this war is a disaster. You've got to get out. Even Laura Ingram is on Fox News saying, you've got to get out of this war. And the reality is, is he cannot.
Sponsor/Ad Reader
He can't, he can't.
Pumps
I mean, so that is why he's melting down all the time.
Unknown Male Host
And Alex Jones is target audience for maga. I mean, the most hateful, bottom of the barrel type of people you could possibly imagine. So if he is now turning on Trump, you know, I can imagine that other people are as well. I don't want to get my hopes up, but.
Pumps
Right. How many years have we been saying when is MAGA going to get it? When are they going to clue in Trump 1.0. I, I almost thought the Epstein files, you know, molesting little girls. I thought that would be the end. I thought an adjudicated rapist, that might be the end. A convicted felon.
Kylie
So we've got a theme going on in the Republican Party and it is like old guys who are just near death or maybe are dead and can't prove that they're not. We've got it. Maybe, Maybe allegedly top McConnell aid flees from reporters and he's questioned about this question.
Unknown Female Host
Are you guys going to respond to Governor Bashir? Are you going to release a video of McConnell? You're going to release anything in addition to the second photo?
Pumps
You can tell he's a real patriot that cares about our country and putting it first.
Kylie
Yeah. An answer to all those are no.
Pumps
The answer to all those are no.
Kylie
Because they can't. If he could, he would. And Andy Beshear knows that. He actually called out specifically, which I love. Scott Jennings. Bashir challenges Jennings CNN to call McConnell live on air. Put all the speculation to rest, which I agree.
Unknown Male Host
Do it.
Pumps
Agree.
Kylie
They're playing, they're either playing a game on purpose or he literally cannot do it.
Pumps
Here's the deal. I think you literally can't do it. And they're playing a game. They're trying to get to August 4th. They're trying to keep him in the Senate. And I've said it before, but I was reading this article about aids. An aide to the former leader of the House. That is a power, you're in a, you're a power player in D.C. and these power players don't like to give it up. And here's the thing, Scott Jennings, I want the browbeat of all browbeat by the entire Internet when it turns out that Mitch McConnell has been completely un unable to communicate for these last 46 days. And we hurt like the only thing in that I know that Brashear has heard regarding the health status of McConnell is that he was dead. I mean he said in an interview he had people contact him and say McConnell is dead and expose the Republicans for the lying, hypocritical, power hungry pedophile protectors that they are. It's just, it's stunning that this has gone on for so long with so little action.

I also I want to end on a high note here. I love watching J.D. vance get browbeat and in an interesting turn, he's getting confronted by BB Netanyahu. Axios is reporting. Benjamin Netanyahu confronts Vance over his criticism of Israeli government. Vice President Vance and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a direct conversation about their differences in a one on one meeting in Washington on Tuesday evening. Israeli and US Officials said so he got in trouble by by daddy.
Pumps
Well, and didn't you see at the funeral that he's like Netanyahu is pointing his finger at him. And here's what I would have to say. Remember when Zelensky was in the Oval Office and we saw high T B big boy come out against Zelensky? What are you gonna say thank you and just acted like a complete prick. My guess is that person that we saw on television was not the person that met with Netanyahu. I bet that person was completely different because he loves to show us what a guy's guy and what an alpha male he is on bro podcasts and in the Oval Office with Zelensky. But he, in my opinion, bent over and took it from Benjamin Netanyahu because he knows Benjamin Netanyahu has all the goods.
Kylie
I was like, say, here's what I think happened. I think they shut the door, sat down. Bibi slid over a piece of paper. JD looked at it. It's a picture of him with a feather boa, maybe a heel. His eyeliner. Yeah. He's on the couch doing God knows what to that poor couch. And he said, okay, whatever you want me to say, I'll say it.
Pumps
Yeah, no, Kylie, I think that is absolutely as plausible as anything else coming out of this administration.
Kylie
Why not?
Pumps
I mean, Mitch McConnell's alive. BB's got the goods on JD Vance with the in the Naval Observatory with his boa on. I mean, why not?
Kylie
Why not? All right, Pumps, you want to close this out?
Pumps
All right, please go to the show notes, preorder Jennifer's book Not Today Fascist. It will be available October 16th.

Pumps (on Trump’s self-absorption):
“Does anybody question his priority is his ballrooms and gold and, you know, aggrandizing himself every single day, all day?” (00:58)
Pumps (on Trump and Iran):
“He got us into a war because Bibi told me to, and I had no plan...And at the end of the day, he’s bored. They’re not talking about him globally... All this accelerates his malignant narcissism.” (04:23)
Alex Jones (on Trump):
“I’m calling for it right now. 25th amendment, impeachment, whatever needs to happen to get this front and center…” (06:53)
Pumps (on GOP leadership cover-ups):
“It's just, it's stunning that this has gone on for so long with so little action.” (10:38)
Pumps (on Vance and Netanyahu):
“He loves to show us what a guy’s guy and what an alpha male he is...but my guess is...he bent over and took it from Benjamin Netanyahu because he knows Netanyahu has all the goods.” (12:54)
Kylie (running with the joke):
“It’s a picture of him with a feather boa, maybe a heel. His eyeliner…He said, okay, whatever you want me to say, I’ll say it.” (13:43)
The conversation is unfiltered and biting—full of exasperated snark and dark humor typical of Jennifer, Pumps, and crew. Their progressive viewpoint, amplified by ridicule and expletives, highlights both outrage and hilarity at ongoing GOP controversies. Listeners are left with a sobering yet comical sense that political dysfunction has no bottom, but at least there’s catharsis in calling it all out.
