I agree. And I just think that the more and more his presidency is on display, a few things happen to me. Number one, I realized how badly the Biden administration failed Us. The, the more and more I think about when I see these temper tantrums in the White House, the angrier I get at the Democrats. Because we saw Trump 1.0, we saw January 6th, and Biden comes out and beats him. It's a complete repudiation of these tactics of treating reporters like, of lying, of mismanaging things, and then he gets in power and it. He forgets about all of these things and he just governs. And he did a lot of good things, but he left the entire country so vulnerable in his inability to pull out of the race and let the Democrats really have a robust primary. And the fact that we lost, that says more about the Democrats than it does about the people that voted for Trump. This is a layup to beat this guy. And I just think the Democrats milk toast approach to this, from Biden all the way to the way Hakeem and Chuckles are responding to it right now is such a failure. When you see people throwing feces against the wall and there's nothing that's changed in Trump's behavior from even before he descended down the escalator. This guy's a nut. He's always been a nut. He's a malignant narcissist. What are the Democrats going to do about it? Moving along here he is totally unhinged. When asked about. There is a rumor that 20 Republican congresspeople are going to resign and not run for office. Listen how unhing he gets here.

Kyle Kulinski (4:37)

And I just have a quick question. There's at least 20 House Republicans who have either said they're going to retire or not run again.

Donald Trump (4:45)

And Democrats, Right?

Kyle Kulinski (4:46)

Do you have any?

Donald Trump (4:47)

Why don't you mention them? How many Democrats are going to retire? How many Democrats?

Kyle Kulinski (4:51)

Well, that's what I was going to ask.

Donald Trump (4:53)

Why don't you tell me the number of Democrats, too?

Kyle Kulinski (4:55)

You tell me about concerned about the narrow margins. And I'm not concerned.

Donald Trump (4:58)

I think we're going to do well among them. And we will have the greatest economy.

Donald Trump (5:04)

We're going to have the greatest economy in history. How many Democrats are retiring? How come you only know the Republicans but not the Democrats?

Kyle Kulinski (5:13)

I came prepared to ask you a question about.

Donald Trump (5:14)

No, no. You're unprepared because you should know the Democrats. You're totally unprepared. Go ahead.

Kyle Kulinski (5:20)

Okay. I've seen enough pumps.

Anna (5:24)

Okay. Number one, he. It's like he doesn't even follow the question or he's just taken deflection to new heights, which I know he can. But the reason the reporter is Asking him is because he's the leader of the Republican Party and of course he has to demean the women in the press pool. And I just, I'm struck when I saw all of this video from yesterday, I am struck by his power. Like he significantly looks worse than he did say four weeks ago. And it just, I'm enraged by the fact that we sit here and we allow him to demean reporters, specifically women over and over and over again. And I don't hear any calls from any Republicans because they're all castrated. But I don't hear any from Democrats either. I don't hear any from the people at these housing off or I'm sorry, these press offices, these reporters come from ABC News. Why doesn't ABC News make a statement? Cnn, blah blah, blah blah blah.

Kyle Kulinski (6:28)

They don't capitulated. They've all paid him money in lawsuits. You know this is, this is just a mass surrender. And, and I don't, I, I don't believe that these industry titans are going to save us. But I do think a strong opposition and the Democratic Party is what's important here. And you do not see.

Kyle Kulinski (6:52)

Organized speaking and press conferences from the Democrats all the time. And I want you to remember that during Joe Biden's presidency, Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans were ubiquitous. They picked about four talking points, Hunter Biden, sleepy Joe Biden and a few other Afghanistan withdrawal and they beat the shit out of them non stop. I mean it was just pervasive and relentless. And I do not see that from the Democrats. The Democrats in my opinion are not rising to this moment. There are times where they are. But the Democratic base is so thirsty for fighters and moral clarity. And when you have a guy saying the following, put this up.

Donald Trump (7:40)

Equipment has gotten too expensive and a lot of the reason is because they put these environmental excesses on the equipment which don't do a damn thing except make it complicated, make it impractical and you really have to be in many cases you need about 185 IQ to turn on a lawnmower.

Kyle Kulinski (8:00)

Okay, so this type of response, this is where the Democrats should be hammering non stop. He is a pedophile protector and, or a participant in a pedophilia ring. He has clear full blown dementia. He will not shut up about passing a very elementary school style cognitive test. 25th amendment, 25th amendment. And they should beat it, beat it, beat it. But they're like oh no, we can't talk about impeachment. They have these.

Anna (8:31)

Made up rules.

Kyle Kulinski (8:32)

The Democrats that govern the way they oppose this. And my thing is like your instincts, Ruling class, God is here, the democratic establishment, ruling class. Your instincts got us here. So maybe don't go by those instincts anymore. Maybe your instincts are dead wrong.

Kyle Kulinski (8:55)

Anna (10:10)

Well, and not to mention, the reason that Trump is in power is because he fed everybody lies and bullshit. And the response to that was, oh, well, you know, it's, it's more affordable. And Biden did some good things. He. He did. He did some great things. Donald Trump should be in fucking prison right now because he stole classified documents. He doesn't want the investigation released because he's fucking criminal. He was convicted on 34 felony counts because he tried to influence an election. But you know what? The Democrats did fucking nothing. And I blame Merrick Garland for that. You've brought me around to the idea that the appointment of Merrick Garland to the AG position, not going after Trump was the biggest failure in our lifetime from a president. And I agree with you because you look at what Trump is doing, everybody could see it. We had his, his defense secretary during Trump 1.0 saying he wanted to shoot protesters.

Kyle Kulinski (11:11)

Well, and a lot of the people in his Cabinet from Trump 1.0 came out of that. Yes. And said, he is a Nazi. He is a full blown fascist. This guy is dangerous. And I just I. The Republicans are the Republicans. They've always been like this. They're opportunist, they weaponize people's faith against them. They p this whole trickle down economics. They lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. Trump is the manifestation of all the Republican Party's worst impulses brought to fruition. And in many ways there's, I can tell they feel relief that he's in power now because now they don't have to act so polite anymore. Now they can be more brazen with their racism. Right. So it just always brings me back to the Democrats and this milk toast response. You look at Zorin Mamdani's victory in New York City in the way Booker.

Kyle Kulinski (12:07)

Hakeem and chuckles, you know, they're just this, they're too scared to latch onto a winner. But you know who wasn't scared to latch onto a winner? The attractive, telegenic. I took on the billionaire class. Trump knew his political instincts were correct in that moment to suck up to him. And so it's just wild. But while all this shit's going on, all these crazy dementia statements that he makes, lawnmowers, IQs, Hannibal Lecter, you know, just as a greatest hits.

Kyle Kulinski (12:39)

What'S going on every day in the White House are shakedowns. And so we can get distracted by, you know, pudding boy mush brain saying pudding boy. But at every chance he's shaking everybody down to enrich himself or his friends. And now this whole Paramount, Warner Brothers thing has just completely blown up. Netflix made an offer. Larry Ellison and his son want it so badly because they want to have a super monopoly monopoly on all of this stuff. And none other than Jared Kushner is right in the epicenter of it with like the Saudis. And it is such. It is so against all of our interests. And you have an American president who is only serving the smallest percentage of people imaginable. He is only his government is corrupt. And pop this up, Kylie. This merger, you guys, is so insane. If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Brothers Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control Paramount Studios, cbs, cnn, mtv, hbo, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Warner Brothers, DC Studios, Fandango, New Line Cinema, tnt, sp, tbs, Oracle and more. And not to mention Jared Kushner. The Saudis, I'm sure, the Russians, the Chinese, I'm sure everybody's in on this. And like two days ago, the biggest story of in foreign policy ever is that the United States is not going to align with Europe anymore. The European Union, they're going to.

Kyle Kulinski (14:28)

They'Re really putting out Pro Russian talking points. Vladimir Putin was on Russian television praising the United States. Praising the United States. We're supposed to be the ally of Ukraine. But all of this just keeps happening and we're just living this crazy ass split screen. But here is where you know that there the lies and the COVID up or daily put this up.

Kyle Kulinski (14:59)

Just in the Bureau of Labor Statistics won't publish October PPI inflation report, the Lincoln Project response. They have canceled the jobs report, the GDP report and now the inflation report. Nothing to see here at all. Imagine, Viewer, imagine for 2.5 seconds that a Kamala Harris, a Joe Biden, a Bill Clinton, a Barack Obama, anybody did not release the, the transparent economic data. And he's not releasing it. And here's why. Because he has the magnificent Seven in the stock market exchanging trillions, billions of dollars back and forth to each other to keep everyone's 401ks up, to keep the country club Republicans happy. And he won't release these reports because the stock market will start responding accordingly. And this is the, the foundations of our economy are completely receding and they won't report on it. This guy wants to cook the books. And you know who else does this kind of Russia. And so all of these Republicans at some point, I don't know if they ever have a reconciliation. As to the stuff for decades that they said they valued the Constitution, national security, transparency, strong economy, or if it's just all been time, if it's just controlling the libs and being able to be racist and not paying taxes. And I think that is really fundamentally their ethos and they do performative politics when they need to. But now they're completely liberated to go along with all this hair brained and then make Larry Ellison and his son. I mean it's just utterly insane to have that kind of monopoly in the media.

Anna (16:53)

Well, there used to be something called antitrust, which, and monopoly litigation. But I look at this and I think, okay, so you bring a lawsuit and you sue and then it goes to the Supreme Court. And they're like, Trump can do whatever he wants because basically the Supreme Court telegraphed yesterday, we're going to give Trump more power. We're going to take more power away from Congress and give it to Trump. So there is, there's no stop here. Then you're also hearing reports that Trump was like, I want to be in charge of who's doing CNN in the Oval Office with Larry Ellison. Hey, then I get to do programming. So basically what you're saying is all of these outlets will be state run media, full stop. That's where we're headed.

Kyle Kulinski (17:35)

It's just, it's so utterly insane. And then you have these people running these news organizations who the Larry Ellisons are their bosses, right? Who when they get outbid by Netflix, they just call up the president. And so you're never going to get accurate reporting. Which is why, viewer, it's so important that you stay fixated and mired in independent media, because cable news, legacy media is just a part of the biggest problem. All right. It's all we have.
