Foreign. I think we need to discuss is the President of the United States okay? Is he okay? Are the people around him okay? Because he greeted the newly elected Prime Minister of Canada and this is what he looked like. Look at that face. So he's got like this orange self tanner makeup on and I know it's funny but seriously, he's like a 79 year old man and that he doesn't look like a normal person that has their wits about them nor that he would be surrounded by helpers, people that would aid him and say, hey, hey papa, we need to make sure you look good today. We need, you're meeting the Prime Minister of Canada. You need to be TV ready and he shows up looking like that. That's how he greeted him.

Host or Commentator 2
Well, it's just so jaw dropping that there is no one around him that will say we have got to blend your makeup. We have got to make you look presentable because you look like a crazy person straight out of the loony bin.

That's what I think. I mean I think how on earth they freaked out the right wing when Barack Obama wore a tan suit. I haven't seen one story on the right wing media echo chamber discussing the makeup application or self tanner application which is just embarrassing. It looks terrible. It doesn't look good on tv. It's not blended and again it makes him look like this insane person. Next up, we're going to play a clip from the Oval with the new Prime Minister of Canada and Donald Trump. And I want you guys to look at his posture, Trump's posture.

Political Analyst 1
Sure, I would but this is not necessarily a one day deal. This is over a period of time. They have to make that decision. Yes, go ahead.
- [01:55]
Political Analyst 2
Yeah, If I may. Well, I, if respectfully, Canadians view on this is not going to change on the 51st state.
- [02:03]
Host or Commentator 1
Look at his posture.

Political Analyst 2
Secondly, we are the largest client of the United States in, in the totality of all the goods. So we are the largest client of the United States. We have a tremendous auto sector between the two of us and the changes that made have been helpful.
- [02:18]
Host or Commentator 1
Okay, so I want you to see. Did you see his posture? So we went over the makeup and then how he's just completely slumped over. I mean he almost looks like he is like in a position of surrender and Fox News like literally loses their minds about masculinity and strength and all of these things. Another thing I want to point out is that the trade world right now is so geopolitically connected like a car, an iPhone, all of these things. Could have something that is from seven to eight different countries in it. And we all work together and partner together because with technology, meaning airplanes, faster boats, easier to communicate with other countries, trade has opened wide up. But Trump wants to put us behind like this dark age iron curtain and live like in isolation and have manufacturing jobs everywhere where we're making T shirts and shoes and hats.
- [03:16]
Host or Commentator 2
Well, it's classic authoritarian. You look at Russia, they live centuries or, you know, at least decades behind where they could be. And Trump to me in that video, looked completely defeated because he knows Prime Minister of Canada way smarter.
- [03:38]
Host or Commentator 1
Okay? And so I just want to prove this point about how important trade is between Canada and the United States. And Trump just simply doesn't understand. He thinks if we, we don't trade with anybody, we're saving money. And that's like saying, you know, I quit my job, so now I'm saving money on gasoline. And so he's so over his skis on this, he doesn't even have an elementary school level of understanding about trade. But pop this up. Top countries US exports goods to in 2024. Number one is Canada, 349.4 billion. Next up is Mexico. So when you sell $350 billion of American goods to Canada, that helps American businesses. Stopping it does not save money. It has a cascading economic effect that is suffocating. And what Trump is doing and what he has exposed is that the American electorate has 77 million people that are always going to put us at risk in a post Trump era for our former allies to think that we are reliable partners. Because the right wing media and the Republican Party have radicalized. About 75 million people are completely radicalized. So when it comes to the eu, when it comes to Canada, when it comes to Mexico, when it comes to Japan, they're going to say, look, if we get another Democratic president, they're going to say, look, we like you. We liked doing business with America before, but half of your country is fucking nuts and unreliable. And we don't want to trade with you because you could have some other nut job come in that can't blend his makeup that's going to throw the whole thing upside down again. So it's not, this is not just some short sighted problem. It is a long term, brand damaging problem to the United States.

Well, the Trumpism is not going to go away with Trump because it has unlocked people's ability to be cruel and vile and racist and homophobic and emboldened misogyny. But what strikes me about Trump is He does not sound, surround himself with experts. Not on makeup, not on trade, not on the economy. And you see that over and over again. No one around him has the expertise to be running the United States government.
- [06:02]
Host or Commentator 1
And that's by design. Absolutely. That mean attacking expertise and having no experts around, nobody critically thinking is antithetical to a propagandist agenda and what they want, want to promote. Next up, we have Trump talking about his interior design acumen with the Prime Minister of Canada.

It's an honor to have you at the White House and the Oval Office. And you see the new and improved Oval Office as it becomes more and more beautiful with love. You know, we handle it with great love. And 24 karat gold. That always helps, too. But it's, it's been a lot of fun going over some of the beautiful pictures that were stored in the vaults that were for many, many years. In some cases over 100 years.

Host or Commentator 1
Okay, he doesn't look great. He doesn't look healthy. But think about the juxtaposition of. You have a bunch of MAGA people right now. I read online a million people were waiting for their increase, guaranteed increase in their Social Security checks, and they had not received that increase. One million. I mean, just statistically, let's say half of those voted for maga. And here he is talking about how much fun he's having redecorating the Oval Office. I remember when Barack Obama came in in 2008 and we just had the major financial meltdown. He came in and he kept the curtains, the rug, everything that George W. Bush had because he said it's not a good precedent for the American president to come in and spend money doing things with the Oval Office. Right now. We need to get the economy back on track. That's leadership. So we can laugh and giggle about, you know, how gaudy and tacky all that shit is. But he's normalizing that rich people get to do whatever they want. And you little girls over there, you're just not going to have as many baby dolls. But I'm having just a blast. I mean, we're doing, we might even do a reality show in here about what a good decorator I am. And it's, they're normalizing this. And it's such a dangerous precedent how he normalizes all of the carnage and the otherizing that the elites get to do whatever they want with impunity. And you poor people, buckle up, buttercups, because if you're a true patriot, you're going to feel some economic pain.

Host or Commentator 2
Well, it's so funny on Fox News, they're actually saying those words out loud. Well, you know, we have to band together. We have to be patient. We have to let Trump's economy, you know, meld together. They're telling people, the people that went bananas over the price of eggs are now saying, yeah, don't buy as many things that you might need because you have to support President Trump. It's become a patriotic duty. It's unfathomable that they can sit there on a straight face and say what they say.
- [08:47]
Host or Commentator 1
Well, Fox News has gotten. I mean, it's always been propaganda, but it's gone even further with this man. It's such a personality cult. And the ringleader of the propaganda is Stephen Miller, who Ron Philip Kowski calls peewee German, which credit to you, Ron, that is chef's kiss. But here he is with propaganda to the dumb factory on Fox News, explaining Trump's performance in the Oval Office with a very serious politician who is intelligent and respectable, the Prime Minister of Canada. Play the clip.

Well, first of all, I had the pleasure of getting to be at the meeting today between the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Canada. What I witnessed was like watching a grand master in chess perform.
- [09:43]
Host or Commentator 1
I mean, here's the thing. Like, I don't know what they're watching. No, do you know, like, so here's the thing. Pumps do. Are there 75 million people who see him with that makeup on and see him talking about redecorating and hear him saying, well, if we don't do trade anymore, we're saving all this money and that they're that dumb? Is that just where we are? That we have failed so many Americans to critically think, think. And they just do the laziest thing possible. Watch Fox News. That they see that and they think, yes, this man is a chess player because all the other nations in the world see what a moron he is. This is a uniquely American issue. Maybe there's some Russians who think it's all great, but they know. They know that their leader is actually playing chess on our leader. So these 75 million people in the United States of America, how have we failed them so much and they are this stupid?
- [10:44]
Host or Commentator 2
I don't know. And I wonder. There's part of me, because you hear on every news outlet on Fox. I'm sorry, every program, you know, he's 5D chessing, he's 4D chessing. You've got Stephen Miller, he's a grandmaster. Do they know how bad it is? And they're trying to gaslight because they think people might look at it and go, he looks like a dipshit.
- [11:03]
Host or Commentator 1
This is propaganda. It's a classic propaganda campaign. I know what they're doing. Right, but do they believe it deeper point, like it's more nuanced beyond what they're doing? They're doing a classic authoritarian play. My concern is 75 million people falling prey to this that have access to the Internet, to Google, to chat GPT to other news outlets. That's. That's the larger issue that I'm trying to get at.
- [11:33]
Host or Commentator 2
Yeah, but I don't know how you fix that. Because they want to believe this. If they. If they turn against Trump now, then they're admitting that he was a con artist all the long all along. And cult leaders, they. It's so hard for people to turn away from their cult leader. So I don't know what you do about that problem.
- [11:51]
Host or Commentator 1
I mean, and so they know what to do about it. They need to keep feeding them and they need to convert more, which is why they're attacking higher education, which is why in states like ours, they want to start nationalistic propaganda at elementary school age, force American children to love their country, to be patriots. They want to be the thought police. So they know how to do it. They know how to play the long game. My thing is like, how do we fight back and deprogram? And then these 75 million people, a lot of them are probably breeding. And then you just, you know, and you just have this, you know, just generations of stupid piled on top of stupid piled on top of stupid. But I think for a lot of our international listeners and viewers, they see this and they think, how are Americans so dumb? How is it that they are. This is like North Korea, right? It is just right there with it. Okay, that's all we have for today from the United States of America. Please subscribe to our channel. We're trying to get to 1 million and we're trying to deprogram. I mean, just a few Americans at a time. See you all later.
