How long are you willing to wait until you get a response?

Trump (quoted)
Don't rush me, Jeff. You know, guys like you, you want to say, oh, so we were in Vietnam like for 18 years. We were in Iraq for many, many years. We're in for all the, I don't like to say World War II because that was a biggie, but we were four and a half, almost five years in World War II. We were in the Korean War for seven years. I've been doing this for six weeks. And their military is totally defeated. They're, they're outside of the little wise guy ships. I call them the wise guy ships. The little boats that they have running around with guns in them. We'll take them out too when we see them.
- [02:03]
Host
But there you have it, one of America's greatest military strategists and minds there stating out how long other wars have been. This is just stunning. And here's a montage of him, you know, first in this first video. Don't rush me, Jeff. You know, we have wise guys with boats and guns running around and he's got this strategy. Sounds like an 18 year strategy, a four year strategy, a World War II strategy, who knows? But here's a montage of Trump saying the war will be over soon. Play the clip.
- [02:37]
Trump (quoted)
Finish pretty quickly. I do see a deal, Mr. President, could be soon. We are going to finish the job and we're going to finish it very fast. We're getting very close. I think it's close to over here I mean, I view it as very close over. I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly. We can do whatever we want and it should be, it should be ending pretty soon.
- [03:02]
Host
Okay. And so there we have conflicting issues. But let's look at in also yesterday in the Oval. If you think about a President of the United States making major decisions about bombs, about military provocations, about ceasefires, let's just do a little check in on this Oval Office appearance in its entirety. Play the clip. Work on negotiating international trade agreements. Stood in this office and president. He's pretty much hitting REM here. I mean we're pretty much hitting REM sleep here. O wakes up just a little bit and he's right back to sleep again. And this is a man who was non stop sleepy Joe Biden. And then Fox News, look, he wakes up. Look at him. He looks drunk and then he wakes up and then he just nods right back off again. So if he is doing this pumps in front of the cameras, in front of the White House press corps, in the Oval Office, one of the biggest stages in the world. What's going on in the Situation Room with sleepy Trump. And here's the thing, like I'm not one of these Democrats. Joe Biden was old. It was painful watching him in the last 18 months of his presidency. I felt like he couldn't run. I saw it and I was not going to allow myself to be gaslit that it was something that it wasn't. This is worse. We're at war and dementia boy is falling asleep, drooling REM in, in the Oval pumps.

When I saw this, I honestly was like somewhat. I mean, we see it all the time, but my head went exactly where you are. How is this person that cannot stay awake able to comprehend and make good choices? Well, we know he doesn't. The only time he lights up is when he talks about his ballroom and his art projects and all that. But here's the thing about it. This man sits there and tells us all the time, so do his aids. He has so much transparency. He's like, he's got the body of a 70 year old. He's got the stamina of an 80 year old. So that tells me they know how bad it is and they allow this to continue by jerking him off that he's, you know, got this great stamina. And the reality is this man should be in an old folks home. He's talking about the Vietnam War. So that's what we're doing now. 19, 18 years, like he's incompetent, not to mention not connected to reality. It's just, it's so stunning that this doesn't lead every newscast.
- [05:48]
Josh
It's also pretty amazing the context he provides when they interview him and how he just gets a pass on sort of his verbiage when he's talking. Like, he says, I. I made a note. Little boats with guns will take them out, too. I mean, what the does that mean? Like, like, where do you throw that in? And then he talks about, yeah, World War II. That was a biggie. Well, you know, it's a little bit more than a biggie. I mean, it's just. I think he just gets a free pass because if you listen to him, you can't walk away from hearing the context of what he says and think, that man is competent. He's a leader. Like, you can't. It's an impossibility.
- [06:24]
Host
And I just want to point out that he brings up the Vietnam War. And so many people were drafted and served in the Vietnam War, or like my dad, to avoid the draft, just signed up and went. And they went over there and fought. They come back. They don't talk about it. They don't talk about being veterans or any of these things because it was horrific. This guy's a draft dodger. He dodged the Vietnam War. Everyone in his generation had to go. But because his dad was rich and he could go to a doctor to make up some illness that he doesn't have in his feet, he was able to not go. So this is a draft dodger who's sitting here with the keys to the United States military, talking about extending this war that nobody in the United States wants except for a few neocons and, and Israel, his friend Benjamin Netanyahu. Those are the only people that want this. When he himself has been to. If you want to talk about World War II, he has been to World War II cemeteries. And he said to people in Trump 1.0, I don't understand it. I don't get why people would serve. I mean, they're suckers and losers. Call John McCain a loser because he got captured. And Trump likes winners. This guy is the biggest coward on the planet. And now he sees, like, oh, this is so fun. And Trump 2.0, I get to play, you know, war with the military. It's incredibly dangerous. But this doesn't really get as much cover as it needs to. The, the, the mental decline and the mental disorders. This, the psychology of this man, the way that the press has not only normalized his stupidity and ignorance, but also they've normalized his malignant narcissism and his desire to brag and lie. And they just normalize it. Here he is, he, he is really upset still about Trump 1.0, when he had his inauguration and nobody hardly showed up for it. I mean, like the mall, you could just see swaths of empty, empty, empty space. Barack Obama's was full. And this is why in Trump 2.0, he tucked and rolled and had his inauguration inside, because he couldn't face the humiliation again. Here he is just lying and gaslighting because he doesn't really care about people dying in Iran. He doesn't care if they're Americans or Iranian. And he thinks nothing about human life. Here he is talking about lying, not talking, lying about having a large crowd, size larger than Martin Luther King Jr. S, one of the greatest speeches in American history. I have a dream. Play the clip.
- [09:11]
Trump (quoted)
About a foot and a half to two feet deep. You all know it well, that's where Martin Luther King gave his great speech. And he had a million people. And I had the same exact crowd, maybe a little bit more, but they said I had 25,000 people on July 4th. I have pictures of Martin Luther King's crowd, my crowds, the exact same, everything, but it was 70 years difference. The exact same crowd, but I actually had more people. But that's okay. They gave him, they gave him a million people. They said a million people, hired 25,000 people. So. But these are the things that you get with. We had on July 4th.
- [09:49]
Host
So he just sits here and lies because this is such a small man. He is such a small man. He, he is so threatened by any success of any black person. And both of these crowd sizes things are dog whistles. It is Barack Obama's crowd size and his inauguration was gigantic. Martin Luther King's I have a dream because these people believed in something. Both of those speeches represented progress and people coming together and reconciling this racism. And here's this draft dodging, malignant narcissist con man and thief and dirty cop sitting here trying to piggyback on to the success of black men who risked it all in the face of headwinds of racism. And he just can't let anybody have anything. He's just such a petty little queen.
- [10:43]
Josh
And I think that the media has a huge part in this, too. The way that they frame, we talked about this yesterday. The way they frame his stories, the way they cover that, because they give him a pass. They try to Report this as if the president said this, the president said that, and that's not what he's doing. He's exhibiting or saying things that are blatantly racist oftentimes, and a lot of things that just simply don't make sense. His narcissism is evident every time he speaks. And so you start to lose faith in a lot of these news outlets when you read their stories. And they don't frame it the proper way. They frame it like the president gave a news conference, and the president said this and the president said that. And. And it's really become part of the problem, too, because then people want to tune that information out. Because. And I know I do. I run into that where I start to read an article, and I think it's a serious article. And then I think, wait a minute, you're describing this as being somewhat normal. You're describing what he's saying as being somewhat normal. And it's not. And it's not okay that they do that. So I think we also need to hold these news outlets accountable for the way that they present this information. Just like this story right here.
- [11:57]
Host
Yeah. I think the headline coming out, pumps from yesterday should be on every major news outlet, draft dodging pathological liar with dementia. An advanced age falling asleep in the middle A press conference while blatantly lying about crowd sizes. That's. That's the story, right? That is the story. He's sitting here talking about extending a war possibly into decades, something he knows nothing about because his privilege and his dad's money has protected him his whole life from all of these things. But instead, we have the press. You know, this is why I don't really go on CNN that much anymore, because I have to sit at that round table, and it's like the president is making major decisions about Iran. What do you think? And I'm just like, I think he has dementia. I think he has psychological problems. I think he. Raving fascist maniac. That's what I think. But it's hard for me to arrive at a conversation and have a conversation with people that are defenders of his, that are normalizing it. Like, this guy is all there making decisions for the benefit of the American public. Pumps.
- [13:07]
Guest
Well, that's kind of what I thought. What Josh was talking about, the press is, why didn't a reporter follow up with, how does the crowd size open the Strait of Hormuz? How does the crowd size that you're lying about help the military members that have boots on the ground in Iran waiting to go in like, where are you making the connection between crowd size and the economy and inflation and the war? Like, make that connection for me. But then, you know, if I ask that as a female, you can only imagine what he'd call me.
- [13:45]
Host
Yeah, go ahead, Josh.
- [13:47]
Josh
And like a proper headline could be, when asked about the war, Trump goes on a nonsensical rant about crowd sizes relating to Martin Luther King. I mean, it's like that would be the framing of what just happened here instead of just this sort of normal presentation. And then the last thing I would say is the three or four guys that sort of chuckled when Trump spoke, who the fuck are you? You know, I mean, just to be brown nosers.
- [14:17]
Host
And here's the thing, all those guys are rich af. All of them, like Howard letting. Yeah, he sits there and he is, he has all the money in the world and he kissed Jeffrey Epstein's ass. Howard Lutnick, now he kisses Donald Trump's ass. He is surrounded by morally depraved bottom feeders that have the ability to say you because of their bank accounts and they don't.
- [14:41]
Josh
I was going to say if you have you money, that. And you're still signing up for this dick sucking contest. I mean, what the.
- [14:49]
Host
These are the gut check weakest. It is weakness on display all day, every day with the Trump regime. Okay, this is, Here comes more lies. This is unbelievable. Here is Trump talking about Israel and their military. Play the clip.
- [15:06]
Josh
Our government is doing whatever it wants.
- [15:10]
Trump (quoted)
What do you say for. Well, well, look, Israel has to, I mean, we're just talking about it. Israel is going to have to defend itself if they're shot at and they will. I would never say that they can't. It would be nice if they wouldn't have to bother with that. But if they, if something happens, they're going to have to defend themselves, as you know, but they're going to do it carefully and they're going to be surgical as opposed to beyond surgical. And you know, there's a lot they can do, but Israel is going to have to defend.
- [15:40]
Host
I've heard enough. They can be surgical. Israel can be surgical. Yes, they can. Because when they have snipers that want to kill Palestinian children waiting in line for food, the snipers are very surgical. The snipers shoot them here in the head, execute little kids or here. But then these journalists get killed and they're like, oh, we didn't mean to do that. Or they're double tapping hospitals or double tapping schools or double tapping medics. It's unbelievable. Grotesque and disgusting. The alliance between the United States of America and Israel. And I just want to say this as we move on, history is not going to be kind to the war crimes that Israel and the United States are committing on innocent civilians nonstop and the gaslighting and propaganda that goes along with it. The people who are defending it now are not going to be loud and defending it when this starts to get really recorded and we get some distance from it and some objectivity. And there is a desire in the Democratic Party, a burning desire right now by over 80% of its voters, to have complete, crisp moral clarity on this issue and stand for universal human rights. But Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democrats, he's for war crimes, he's for the child killers, he votes for it, he believes in it, he takes money for it. It's so grotesque.
- [17:15]
Josh
It seems like in this war that Israel has been anything but surgical. And it would have been nice to get a follow up question. And I'm sure Trump limits the content of the questions that are asked to him and this reporter was put on the spot. But it seems like with all the fatalities in this war, the hands of, of the Israeli army, that there could have been some further questioning about because they've been nothing but that they've intentionally gone out to murder civilians that have nothing to do with what's happening.
- [17:49]
Guest
I was just thinking, you know how Trump has a humiliation ritual with people and he brings them in and he humiliates them. I believe based on my observations of Trump and, and Netanyahu and the ceasefires and then Netanyahu bombs. I kind of feel like that Netanyahu is doing this humiliation exercise with Trump because Trump boasts about all this stuff and then Israel does the exact opposite. Am I the only one that thinks that?
- [18:22]
Host
Well, Israel's been doing this for a long time. This isn't new. Israel has been doing this with every US President. It's widely reported that every US President has had moments with their team like, God damn it, they. Because there's a ceasefire and they are incredibly, incredibly horrific ally for US interests. Incredibly. So it's not just, just that maybe it's a humiliation exercise, but also like Benjamin Netanyahu has this laser focus about this Greater Israel Project and he has tried to get every other US President to do it prior to Trump. The reason they invested AIPAC and others as much as Elon Musk did in the last election, but also bought Democratic politicians, it was because they know, okay, this guy is demented, rotten and crazy enough that we're going to get to do what we want. And maybe they have compromise on him too. Maybe they have stuff from the Jeffrey Epstein files. I think anything's possible, right? And so he is all gas, no brakes right now on this thing. And it is. They are so laser focused on genociding southern Lebanon, genociding Gaza, which they've been successful at balkanizing Iran. And next up will be Turkey. He has signaled he wants to go into Turkey. And people in the IDF wear a map patch on their shoulder that shows this, you know, this expansion of, of, of Israel. And they do not see Arabs as human beings. And because Israel is an ethno state, it is an ethno state where they believe that their citizens have, are better entitled to more rights. And it's just incredibly inhumane in the United States. And this partnership is for us to go on the world stage and boast that, oh, we're for democracy and freedom in Israel. Oh, we're the biggest democracy in the Middle East. It is a lie. It is propaganda. The dam has broken. And if you criticize it, they want to call you a bigot when none of this has anything to do with bigotry. And it has everything to do with universal human rights, the Geneva convict conventions and the rule of law. But let me just leave you all with this. The United States is spending up to $2 billion a day, $2 billion a day on the war in Iran when everybody in Congress says we can't afford infrastructure, air traffic controllers, Medicare, Medicaid, all of that stuff. The Pentagon is granting a 24 million DOL defense contract to Eric Trump. That doesn't seem corrupt at all. To dumber. He gets $24 million. Trump is increasing our military budget he's requested to $1.5 trillion next year. So Republican presidencies always lead to neocon policies. This is beyond. This is beyond what? What the other neocons. I mean, this makes Dick Cheney look like child's play.
- [21:28]
Josh
Everything that this administration, you can connect the dots with each part of this administration. And money, whether it's Israel, it's money, whether it's Eric getting a defense contract, everything is for sale. And I think that's the takeaway here. That's been different with other regimes. And you mentioned Israel's effectiveness and getting us to, to ally with them in certain respects. It's all about money, every bit of it.
- [21:59]
Host
They exactly. I mean, it's just these politicians take this money and then they see what Israel does with it and it breaks them and they break more and then they break more and then we have these broken members of Congress that think that they can lecture us and say they care about, you know, human rights in the United States. But we've all seen via our phones. This is why they, you the, the forces that support the Greater Israel Project want the tick tock images to subside. They don't have the truth. And here's what's interesting. All of these APAC funding that they put into races, they don't fund these political candidates and make the case for Israel. They don't, they make the case about some other bullshit like, oh, this candidate believes in this or this candidate doesn't believe in this. Very few people like Ben Shapiro will get online and he'll try to make the case for Israel. He's lost half of his followers since he's been doing that. This is, people don't like indiscriminate, genocidal, homicidal killing. It's just, that is just where we are right now. And so as we head into how do we defeat fascism? It is rigorous honesty. It is the rigorous honesty of reporting the truth. Israel and the United States. Commitment, war crimes. Donald Trump is a draft dodger, homicidal dipshit with dementia, falling asleep non stop and he has the keys to the nukes. This is insanity. All right, that's just really shitty news story today. But we all have to stay engaged and like and subscribe our channel. And we'll be back later with more news.
