America is burning. Literally burning. We have measles outbreaks. The President of the United States is getting clandestine Covid shots while RFK completely wipes out dhs. And Trump is abroad taking a very undeserved, ridiculous victory lap. And the message that he is emitting to, to the world, in my opinion, is that we are no longer a democracy that believes in the rule of law. Here he is in Israel yesterday talking about wanting his buddy Netanyahu, who is just as corrupt as he is, but far more evil. And that's, that's a low bar, talking about him getting a pardon. Play the clip.
- [01:22]
C
Have an idea, Mr. President, why don't you give him a pardon? Give him a pardon.
- [01:36]
B
That's just humiliating. That is. It's so unbelievable to watch an American president, number one, that looks like that, that wears the orange makeup, that's such a nut. But just, just totally lack of any form of respect for the rule of law, corruption. Because he himself is a convicted felon.
- [01:55]
D
Absolutely. I mean, you saw how he acted when Brazil convicted their president. That led an insurrection. He got madder corner. Here's the deal. The reason Netanyahu and Trump, other than Trump being manipulated by Netanyahu, they're both corrupt to the core. And it is embarrassing that the President of the United States one would meddle in another country's affairs. But I guess it's bought and paid for by America when it's Israel. But just zero respect for, for laws, zero.
- [02:32]
B
And there's also this exceptionalism that he and his dictator friends and his fashion friends are the exception. They can do whatever they want with impunity while the poor plebes burn particularly. It's just incredibly rich that you have citizens of the United States that are facing a shutdown, federal government because of his party. And while the government is shut down, he has Russell Vogt completely ripping through and canceling programs that will affect MAGA voters. But he does not care. Next up, we have Trump yesterday in Egypt. This is so chilling because this is what he wants. This is his biggest desire to have a dictatorship where Everybody is forced to like him. He wants forced adoration. No dissent, no democracy. To me, this video right here is the death of, of American democracy on the global stage. Play the clip.
- [03:33]
C
We're in a country where a friend of mine is a very powerful leader. And my friend is right here, the President, also the General. You know, sometimes I call him, usually I call him the General because he's both and he's good at both. And they've done a fantastic job. And they have very little crime, you know, because they don't play games. That's why they don't play games like we do in the United States with governors that no idea what they're doing, but they don't have crime. I ask about crime and they almost don't even know what I'm talking about. So it's, it's a great tribute to this man. He's done a fantastic job in bringing this country together.
- [04:16]
B
Okay, In Egypt, dissenters are arrested. People are arrested because of their social media posts. To see an American president he prays on. This form of government is. It just cannot be overstated. What a death of American leadership that we are the shiny city on the hill. We used to have people that would come over from other countries to observe our elections because they were free and fair and we peacefully transferred powers. We all need to wrestle with the fact that this has come to a screeching halt and he has zero intentions, zero intentions of having free and fair elections for the midterms. The fact that he is heaping praise on Egypt and their form of the way they crack down on free speech, free expression, whether it be, you know, protest or just a social media post. People are put in prison in Egypt for dissent.
- [05:15]
D
Well, and you see this in every single realm. You have all the Republicans going on Fox News saying the no kings protest is hatred and against the United States. You have Pete Hegseth not allowing the free press at the Pentagon. This is what they want. You see video after video of protesters in these cities being pushed and attacked by ICE because they don't care about the Constitution.
- [05:44]
B
All right, and the next up, yesterday was just an absolute embarrassment for the United States. He is praising big donor Marion Adelson and basically saying she came, she brought money, she donated to me, so she curries favor with me and I moved the embassy to Jerusalem for her. I spent American taxpayer dollars while people, I'm closing rural hospitals. I'm defunding the Department of Education. But because this lady is so rich and she likes me, she can get what she wants. Play the clip.
- [06:20]
C
The difference is I kept my promise and officially recognized the capital of Israel and moved the American Embassy to Jerusale. Isn't that right, Miriam? Look at Miriam. She's back there. Stand up, stand up. Miriam and Sheldon would come into the office, they'd call me, he'd call me. I, I think he, I think they had more trips to the White House than anybody else I could think of. Look at her sitting there so innocently. She got 60 billion in the bank. 60 billion. And she loves. And she, I think she said, no more. And she loves Israel, but she loves it. And they would come in and her husband was a very aggressive man, but I loved him. He was a very aggressive, very supportive of me. And he'd call up, okay, so that's key.
- [07:35]
B
Very supportive of him. Very supportive of him. So he will spend billions of taxpayer dollars from working class Americans. Meanwhile, his MAGA party will tell these working class American Americans, you can't have nice things because poorer people, even more marginalized people. And this is such unbelievable American leadership on the global stage. It is not leadership. This is a face plant of democracy. This is a quid pro quo style of government. And to all of the people that are at Kamala Harris's book tours protesting about the situation in Gaza, and I admit that under the Biden administration, there was complicity in this. It would have never been like this. It would have never been like this. And here's the thing. I don't trust this ceasefire as far as I can throw it. They have plans. 90% of Gaza is destroyed at this point. They want to demo the rest of it ethnically. Cleanse and Jared Kushner and other Middle Eastern investors are going to invest and they are going to make that piece of land that belonged to Palestinians. They're going to make it theirs. And that's what the end game is. And the human rights of these people after this genocide and how they're returning home and this grotesque celebration after a lot of experts claim 600,000 people dead, killed, starved out, 600,000 and they're all celebrating. It is so grotesque.
- [09:16]
D
It's so grotesque. And here's the thing. Trump put out the video of him and Netanyahu on the beach with Trump, Gaza and a gold statue of him, that's where his head goes. He gave Miriam Adelson the Presidential Medal of Freedom because of her contributions to Israel slash his campaign. And I just think it's GROSS that a U.S. president would single out a donor in another country's cabinet.
- [09:45]
B
Meeting.
- [09:45]
D
I just thought it was, the whole thing was repulsive.
- [09:48]
B
Okay. And then next up, here he is. He always behaves like a grade schooler. It's just always about who he likes, who likes him. It's a very. Everything's reduced down to very regressive, grade school style, mean girl type language. And this is, I'm going to remind you again because it's so shocking. This is the President of the United States. And here he is on the world stage with all of the world leaders and this is kind of shit that comes out of his mouth. Play the clip.
- [10:18]
C
Met with many of the people in this room and it all just started coming together. I've known so many of you for so long. You're friends of mine, you're great people. I have a couple I don't like in particular, but I won't tell you who. I have actually a few of them I don't like at all. But you'll never find out who they are. Maybe you will. Come to think of it, I mean.
- [10:42]
B
This is just, it's, it's mind numbing how stupid he is, how juvenile he is and how celebrated he is. The fact that so many world leaders are standing there celebrating this all the time. The fact that our allies are saying, you know what, this is still pretty grotesque. We're glad that there is a ceasefire, but we have, you know, displaced, homeless, refugees that don't have food, that have been starved out, that have survived a genocide. This is not a time to go grandstanding and talk about who we like and who we don't like. The global capitulation to him and the global capitulation for his ego, for everybody to flatter him is so short sighted. Because right now what they're seeing is the United States gives us money for this, they give us money for that, they help us with our national security. That man that you're worshiping right now, in his fragile ego, he is completely imploding the United States economy. He is dismantling all pillars of government. We're going to be as valuable as an ally to you as Russia in a few years. This is serious. This is as serious as it gets. And finally, here's just another window to this man's soul. Here he is talking to the leader of the United Arab Emirates. Emirates. And Trump is talking about what his love language is. Play the clip. Okay, so what he says is he's sitting there smiling with his dentures and his thumbs up. Dentures look bad. His dentures look really bad. He has a different Pair in today is. He's got a lot of cash. He's got a lot of cash. And another video. I saw you guys, it was the president of Indonesia and it was a hot mic moment. The president of Indonesia Pumps was like, hey, I need to get in touch with your sons to work on that deal. So everything with any form of slightly corrupt government, the this office, this executive branch is a revolving door for corruption, quid pro quo. And he is using the piggy bank of our taxpayer money for however he wants. He is using all of the pillars of government, has his own personal concierge service, his lawyers, his goon squads, etc. And the way he speaks about freely elected governors is alarming. But I want to as all of this is so depressing, I want to remind everybody that you never obey in advance. And this weekend we have the no Kings rally and I believe that there's about 30% of the people that are in this cult that like it. I think there are a lot of triple Trumpers that have Heartbreak Hotel buyers remorse and I think we are going to see peaceful protests and this will get Republicans that are already seeing the strong man who looks like a frail dentures dementia acting like a nut on the global stage. And it's also going to get industry titans to understand are you willing to take our entire economy and our entire constitution and the Bill of Rights and stick it in the toilet for somebody that's 85 that's probably going to drop dead any day now? Are you really willing to do that? Because that's what's at stake here. We need moderate Republicans to start accelerating these fissures and we need industry titans to put pressure on him because that's how he responds. He responds to money. That's right, he does.
- [14:28]
D
And here's the thing and I the corruption is just, we know how bad it is. And I think about the Hunter Biden, like the Hunter Biden of it all. When he's talking about deals that Eric, I mean dumb and dumber are making with these other countries. It's. And then you look, he makes billions of dollars a month. Even talking about money on the world stage should be offensive. And, and our allies need to realize this guy is not loyal. This guy could crap them out just like he crapped out the United States. So I would be really, really, really shy about just sticking my head up Trump's ass because he's gonna them like he's fucked the United States.
- [15:11]
B
Yes, and you bring up a really good point because every single voting group that voted for him. Yes, primarily how he brags about the poorly educated or lower income earners. They're the first on the chopping block with all of these cuts. When you cut the special needs programs of the educational system. Those are MAGA kids. Are some Democratic kids. Yeah, some probably don't have any family members that vote. But no one is safe. And not even your guns, maga. They're coming after your guns. Nobody is safe under this. And I encourage everyone to participate in the no Kings rally this weekend. It is critical to save our democracy because we cannot lose this country to these dorks we just I can't even wrap my head around. If we lose our country it's because of this washed up bankrupt reality star and every bottom feeding loser that was willing to go kiss his ass. That we're going to lose the United States of America for these bozos is just more than I can take. All right, subscribe Like Great way to support pumps and me is to buy our book Life is a Lazy Susan of Shit Sandwiches. It's linked right below in the show notes. It's a nice little weekend. Read a little respite from all of the Trump and we will be back later with more news. Sam.
