Each day of Donald Trump's G7 trip, he appears more unhinged, even more swollen, dragging his leg, drooping in his face, has no idea where he is half the time. And then he seems to forget that he is trying to negotiate a peace deal because after all, he won the FIFA Peace Prize, right? So here is the FIFA Peace Prize recipient talking about Iran just today. Play the clip by Steve.
Steve
Is the tax agreement now final or are you still. No, it's not final. It's a memorandum of understanding. And if I don't like it, we'll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head.
Pop
Pops your thoughts on the FIFA Peace Prize winner?
Angie
I just, it's so stunning to me. First of all, he's already been saying, we signed it, we did this, it's so great. And then he's going to drop bombs if he doesn't like it. He is deluded, he is unhinged, he is not even close to reality and he is at the G7 with world leaders and he is proving over and over again as each day goes by, he has no concept of what the United States government is doing. And he is willing to embrace every kind of war crime to get what he wants. That's what it tells me.
Pop
And we know that Donald Trump falls prey to superficial flattery. Everybody knows that. Particularly foreign governments know that. And particularly Iran brought in psychiatrists and psychologists because they realized they were dealing with somebody who was mentally unstable. And they didn't do that in a funny way. They did it in a serious way. Like, you know, the United States has nukes. Benjamin Netanyahu has nukes. They're diabolically obsessed with this war. So we need to advocate to try to get something resolved here. Now, listen, the Iranian regime and how they oppress their people, I completely oppose. I'm just reporting on how they were able to get this sweetheart deal, that America is completely in retreat. Well, you want to know how successful, psychologically manipulating Trump is? Here he is, same presser in the G7.
Steve
Play the clip with people that I think are very rational people, and they were nice to deal with. They were strong people, smart people. I think actually they're smarter than the first and second group, but they're not radicalized, and they're, you know, looking to help their country.
Pop
Look at that. I mean, he just. They knew how to pile on the praise. And it reminds me of after he had a meeting with Putin in Helsinki, and he came out and he said, we don't know that Russia did it. It could be some fat guy in his basement that did it. It reminds me of the time that Donald Trump was standing on the red carpet on the tarmac, clapping like a seal when Vladimir Putin came down. It reminds me of all of the times he's met with dictators. Remember he'd fallen in love with Kim Jong Un?
Angie
Yeah, Love letters.
Pop
This is a massive liability that the President of the United States is so weak emotionally, psychologically, and cognitively that it's this easy to manipulate him. This is him piling praise on the country that they started a war with. And he just heaps on, oh, they're so great. They're not that radical. They're awesome. Why did they get that kind of response? Because they played him. They played him the way Netanyahu plays him. They played him the way Putin plays him. They played him the way all the tech oligarchs play him. All of the trophy presentations that we see as nauseating as they are for us, they have the same memo as to how to game this guy. That's how easy it is. And all the tough Republicans all over Fly over America. This is weakness on display. And it's going to cost the United States the lives that we've already lost. And $300 billion on top of the 80 billion plus. How long of our reputational damage, how many election cycles after this will it take to restore?
Angie
Well, what's so fascinating by what Trump says, and I agree with you 100%, it's because he's been manipulated. Because the beginning of this war, it was their religious zealots that are trying to rule the country under religious reign. And they're so radical. And by all accounts, this new regime is more radical, this new regime is going to be more oppressive. But the deal is he embarrassed himself, he got fucked to death, he's humiliated and he has been manipulated by the darkest forces over and over and over again because like you said, he's mentally ill. And all of the objectives of the war were false. All of the accomplishments of the war are false. I mean, now we have a peace agreement that was worse than the one we had before this all started.
Pop
So it's just about it like this. Netanyahu manipulated him to get into this war at the expense of Americans. And now Iran is manipulating him to get out of the war. And we're all just on this ride. All of his supporters, even you know that, that live in rural America, that came out, you know, massive victories in all of these red counties like Trump, plus 30 victories, they're getting screwed the most because these really dark forces in Israel, in Iran, all of places in Russia, they know how to manipulate him. So I'm wondering, should the Democrats hire psychologists and psychiatrists to deal with him? I think maybe they should, because what, what he's doing and Republican leadership allowing and knowing that he is getting manipulated like this. They get briefings, Angie. I mean, we're able to read the tea leaves and deduce all of this. These Senators know. They know it. Which brings me to Senator Lady Graham. And here's Trump talking about Ms. Lindsay. Play the clip.
Steve
Lindsay is skeptical.
Angie
Yes.
Steve
I'll have to talk to Lindsay. He'll be in big trouble. Lindsay's good. Lindsay's fine. He's not skeptical. He's just fine. Look, this agreement covers something very nicely.
Pop
Lindsay's just fine. Lindsay's good. Let's take a gander of what Lindsay was doing the last couple of days. Oh, this makes perfect sense. Listener, I believe this is AI, but it might not be AI. It's certainly believable. But it is. Lady Graham with a thumbs up with two hunk A hunk of burning love specimen flanking him. He looks so happy. He looks as happy. He looks as happy as when Donald Trump was staring up at Zoron saying, it's okay, call me a fascist, dude, it's okay. It's easier. Just call me a fascist. Nobody cares. That's how happy Lady Graham looks in this Lady Graham.
Angie
You know, here's the thing. I just feel like Lady Graham could have that smile all the time that he had. Just glowing smile. If he would just be who he is and come out and stop hiding and allowing this stupid political party to dictate his life, he would be happier. And the United States wouldn't be in the shithole if everyone in his position in his party would follow suit.
Pop
Yeah, and here's the thing, though. I don't want Lady Graham. After all of the damage that he's done at the expense of a community that he ostracizes, betrays and belittles, I wanted him to go through a deep reckoning, emotional wrecking, where it's very difficult to genuinely smile after being such a horrific piece of shit for so many years. I mean, and I mean that sincerely. The. The rats in the party that have belittled black people, belittled gay people and scapegoated immigrant communities should not be able to put a smile on their face, should they have some sort of moral reckoning for years to come? Because the damage that the Republican Party has done to this country is just. It's overwhelming. I mean, America's, for all intents and purposes, done is the way it was before. Moving along. Cash Patel is incredibly incompetent. As everybody knows, he's a podcaster who made his entire career based on. We're going to get to the bottom of the Epstein files. Gets hired to be in the FBI, gets a gander at the FBI files, realizes everything he has ever said in his life is a jet stream of. Because Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein are best friends. And Donald Trump is in the epicenter of the Epstein file. So Cash Patel is engaged in a massive, massive cover up, a global cover up of a child sex ring. But every chance he can grandstand and cosplay being a badass, he totally tries to do it. So after the white trash rally Sunday night, the insect infested, racist white trash rally on the White House lawn, Cash Patel tweets this out. On June 10th, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington D.C. involving individuals outside of the national capital region. And thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners and the Department of E operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold. Sounds impressive, Cash. Incredible. You were able to disrupt yet another assassination attempt on the guy that you worship more than anything on the planet. That's incredible. I bet Donald Trump is so proud of you. Let's see what Donald Trump had to say about your police work. Play the clip on the attack.
Angie
Attack plans for the UFC event at the White House. There was the FBI warded an attack.
Steve
I haven't heard about it, but I watched the attack that I watched. Were the fighters.
Pop
Interesting. Really interesting that the President of the United States has no idea of yet another alleged attack. That Cash Patel is taking a victory lap. Grandstanding for Angie.
Angie
Well, Cash Patel has to take what he can get because his FBI is just absolutely disastrous. But what's interesting to me, when I got deep into the weeds on this terror attack, the reason Cash Patel found out about it was not because he did great investigative work. He's in the weeds of the Internet. It's because the alleged perpetrator's mother called and said, I am worried about this. And so he's making it sound like there was this big, huge web sting operations. We have all these trained people that are doing this. The guy mother called and he admitted it like, come on,
Pop
listener, what does summer look like for you? Are you traveling more? Late nights, off your sleep schedule, packed weekends? Zero structure. That's exactly what's happening to me.

That's drink ag1.com ihib is that's just so good. I'm like, he's cracking the case that he did all this detective work that he was able to pluck out this terror plot. Trump had no idea about it because basically it was a nothing burger. But look at this. Pop this up Secret Service officials are furious that FBI Director Cash Patel prematurely announced on Tuesday morning the details of a sealed, ongoing criminal investigation into a plot to attack the UFC fight event this weekend with drones, according to three people familiar with the incident. Secret Service and FBI agents had been partnered on the investigation into a group of individuals discussing plans for a drone attack at the White House in the last week and had discussed unsealing the case and making an announcement later that day. The problem with Patel's social media announcement, the sources say, was the case had been sealed in court and roughly 10 suspects had not yet been arrested and placed in custody at the time Patel made his social media post. So in review, Cash Patel, MAGA Warrior, is dating a country music sensation that is more patriotic than most Americans have ever been in their lifetime. When he arrived at the murder scene of Charlie Kirk, he refused to get off of his private plane without an FBI raid jacket, and they were unable to locate one that would fit him. So they found one on a petite FBI woman, made her take it off and then take it to Patel so that he could exit the plane because he was incapable, the director of the FBI, of walking off the plane without an FBI jacket on, which is just so, what Crazy and immature and insane. Like, think about you guys when you have a job and something needs to be done, the sense of urgency that you have, you don't think about, like, what your clothes are. Because I can trust, I can guarantee you guys, this listener and viewer, when it happens, Pumps and I are going to get on this stream live. My hair could look like, I might not have any makeup on. I might be in pajamas. But it will be so urgent for us to report with you guys when it happens that I will not be thinking about those things. Angie, what's your, your take on just how immature and emotionally stunted this, this group of men surrounding Donald Trump is? Even though we know it, every time we hear it, it's always to like. It's shocking. So stunning.
Angie
Yeah, the insecurity and the wanting to overcompensate for failures, my guess would be in the mail, parts and bedroom department. But, you know, here's the deal with Cash Patel. I remember a time when the FBI operated so professionally that we did not hear on social media posts. And if I also remember that the law, people respected the law. If a court case was sealed, people honored that because that was the law. So we have an FBI director that wants to rule on social media. He wants to tell you what the FBI is doing on social media. He's so stupid and. Or could be as alleged drunk that he has to get out in front of it, like, hey, I'm a hero. Somebody's mommy called and I arrested him. While suspects can still flee. I don't want the FBI to operate on social media. I don't. I want them to operate professionally. I want them to arrest the suspects and before they announced the investigation. And here's the thing about Cash Patel. I don't expect him to operate the FBI professionally because he is a MAGA kiss ass podcaster that has no business in this role. And his only role is to cover up crimes by Donald Trump and his family. And in that department, he's getting an A plus.
Pop
Yeah. And I just do want to say Zoron governs a lot via social media and that is the future of governance. And he does an incredible, incredible job of it. He does an incredible job engaging with his citizenry on what government can deliver. The problem with Donald Trump and the problem with Cash Patel and the problem with these MAGA men is their emotionally stunted cosplay manifestations are also played out on social media. But the working with the electorate via social media is the future. No, I just can't blow your case.
Angie
You can't blow your case. You can't break the law of the court. You can't do that because you want to be the first one to get it out. You're the fucking FBI director.
Pop
Completely agree. All right, this goes out to Cash Patel, this dedication. Kylie, if we can go widescreen, please. Not today Fascist is dedicated to Cash Patel. You can pre order it right below in the show notes. And we'll be back later with more news.
Angie
It.
