Key Discussion Points

1. Trump’s Overnight Meltdown ([01:18]–[03:30])

• Angie recounts Trump’s “absolute bender” late at night—“he tweeted... like 55 times in a three hour span. Last night he's posting weird AI shit. He's calling Obama a demon... He’s coming at his own doj... this man is not well.”
• Kylie ties it to leadership: “If I woke up and I saw that one of my children had posted 55 times in one hour, I would immediately go into... and say, 'What’s going on? We need to get you help.'”
• Kylie on jealousy and racism: “Obama is smarter, he has bigger hands, he is more charismatic... He has a Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar. Neither of which Trump will ever get.” ([01:45])
• Consensus: Trump’s behavior is deeply troubling and unmoored, yet his inner circle shields him from reality.

2. Health and Doctor Visits ([03:30]–[04:36])

• Trump’s health becomes a running joke—recent emergency dental and “physical” check-ups underscore possible rapid decline.
• Ryan: “We know what the doctor's reports have looked like... 6'3", 215 lbs.”
• Skepticism about the truth of official reports: “In his medical records, it says great at golf. Shut the fuck up.” – Kylie ([04:22])
• Theory: Doctors are brought in privately to the White House; the pace of appointments is seen as ominous.

3. Trump’s Legal Fallout & “Ethics Violations” ([04:36]–[05:57])

• Kylie: “He’s giving every single defendant that this DOJ prosecutes a full cause for dismissal.”
• Allegations all Trump’s lawyers are “required to commit ethics violations” and will ultimately be disbarred.

4. The Trump Phone Grift ([05:57]–[08:45])

• Trump’s fundraising/merchandise scams continue—the “Trump Phone” has reportedly bilked $59 million from supporters:
  • Ryan: “590,000 people paid a $100 deposit... There is no guaranteed refund. This was marketed as phone... made in the USA... there was never any manufacturer name.”
• Parallel scams: NFTs, Trump University, vodka, sneakers—all cited as proof of chronic grifting.
• Callers recount followers attempting to deposit "Trump money" at banks.

5. Stephen Miller Gets Iced Out ([09:38]–[13:46])

• Recent WH reporting claims Trump “freezing out” advisor Stephen Miller due to public backlash over immigration policies and a specific incident (the killing of Alex Preddy in Minneapolis).
  • Kylie: “Stephen Miller is... a white supremacist. He has zero soul. My guess, sociopath... he likes to see people chained up.”
  • Hosts skeptical: Trump doesn’t find Miller’s actions too extreme morally, just fears the PR blowback.
  • Ryan: “Even Corey Lewandowski was reluctant to hire Stephen Miller. So if anyone's going to... fail in Corey Lewandowski's eyes, they really should not be anywhere close to the President.”

6. Venezuela as the 51st State ([13:47]–[14:58])

• A new, bizarre idea floated by Trump: annexing Venezuela.
  • Jennifer plays the audio: “He said, I’m serious about... making Venezuela the 51st state.” ([13:57])
  • Kylie: “Trump wants the oil from Venezuela. That’s why this whole thing happened... My bet, Trump's pocket. That's where the money is, 100%.”
  • Ridicule of the suggestion: “Would you want to come to this raging shit show? Fuck no.” ([14:58])

7. Trump’s Public Sleep & Fox News Double Standards ([17:28]–[19:01])

• New footage shows Trump “falling asleep again in the Oval Office” during a women's health event.
  • Ryan: “His eyes are fully closed. It's not disputable.” ([17:28])
  • Kylie: “If you looked at him objectively, everyone would say, dude's got to go in a nursing home.”
• Hosts note hypocrisy in conservative outrage over Biden’s alleged cognitive state, contrasted with silence about Trump.

8. Trump’s VP Reality Show: J.D. Vance vs Marco Rubio ([19:17]–[21:28])

• Trump publicly polls crowd for his next running mate—a spectacle hosts see as both humiliating and strategic:
  • Jennifer: "Who likes J.D. Vance? ... Who likes Marco Rubio?” ([19:32])
  • Kylie: “He is going to put you in a position where you have to commit crimes. That’s 100%. And he is going to humiliate you for fun.”
  • Pity (and some mockery) for Vance and Rubio, seen as willing participants in their own degradation for access to power.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Ryan: “They literally just stole $59 million from these people who are so naive... it was never coming.” ([07:06])
• Kylie (on Stephen Miller): “He probably jacks off to the thought of an immigrant getting caught by a snake or an alligator and dying. Like that's his jam.” ([10:19])

for summer vacation planning because early gets you closer to the action. So don't be late. Book your next vacation early on VRBO and save over $120. Rise and shine. Average savings $141. Select homes only. The ridiculously stupid Trump administration. I'm gonna start comparing it to a soap opera. And so today's episode is going to be dedicated to as the insane asylum turns this man is a lunatic in all forms. He is absolutely the dumbest president we have ever had in history. So, Kylie, Ryan, bring us up to speed.

[Angie]

Okay, well, last night he went on an absolute bender in the middle of the night, had a mental breakdown. He tweeted, I want to say, like 55 times in a three hour span. Last night he's posting weird AI shit. He's calling Obama a demon in many different forms. He's coming at his own doj. He's coming at Todd Blanche. Like, this man is not well.

[Kylie]

No, he's not well. Here's the thing. If I woke up and I saw that one of my children had posted 55 times in one hour, I would immediate go into his or her room and say, what's going on? We need to get you help. This is not normal. Whatever you're feeling, let's talk about your feelings. But here's the thing again, there's nobody around him that can save him from himself. And as to the Obama thing, I'm sure it's all racism, you know, laced in different words. But. But the thing about it is Trump is so jealous of Obama, it's unbelievable how pathetic he is and how jealous he is of this man who he will never be. He, Obama is smarter, he has bigger hands, he is more charismatic, he's a better speaker. People loved him. It's. He has a Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar. None of neither of which Trump will ever get. And then the thing about the political enemies, I'm like, you are the president of the United States. You have single handedly destroyed the world's economy or you're on your way to do it. You have renamed everything after yourself. You have the Supreme Court, both parties of Congress. And you're mad. He's enraged all the fucking time, this man. He is not well. I mean, we can go through it, we can analyze it. At the end of the day, he needs to be not in a general hospital, but in a mental hospital, full stop.

[Angie]

Speaking of general hospital, he is also being sent back to a scheduled doctor's appointment. Kaitlyn Collins has been reporting on it and we know he just went to like an emergency dental appointment off by Mar A Lago and he's got a physical coming up, which he did, another physical, I want to say, like seven months ago. So I think this man is on his way out.

[Kylie]

Well, look at his hands. Here's the thing. And I would bet you both my right and left arm that he's. The doctors and the dentists that are coming for these appointments come to the White House, he doesn't go to them.

[Angie]

Right.

[Kylie]

So whatever he's got is going rapidly, you know, faster than they expected. And here's the thing, it can't come quick enough for me.

[Ryan]

Oh, and we know what the doctor's reports have looked like in the past. 6, 3, £215.

[Kylie]

Great at golf.

[Ryan]

You know, he always.

[Kylie]

In his medical records, it says great at golf. Shut the fuck up.

[Ryan]

And the best health the President has

[Kylie]

ever been, of course, in the history of the presidency.

[Ryan]

Something about his posts. He tweeted at one point that he was using the DoJ to go after his political enemies. And then a couple of hours later, he reposted something, attacking Todd Blanche for not going after his political enemies. So honestly, I'm pleased at least that this doctor's appointment is happening because clearly, like there is some assessment needed.

[Kylie]

Well, they're not, but he's not going

[Ryan]

to get it, other than I know,

[Kylie]

best golf player of all.

[Ryan]

That's true.

[Kylie]

But you know, here's the thing. It's called selective prosecution. I mean, he's giving every single defendant that this DOJ prosecutes a full cause for dismissal. And here's the thing. These attorneys, every attorney involved in the rigged this, or what do you call it? Stop the steel lawsuit. All disbarred, if not felons or some type of criminal pain. Bonnie's going to lose her license. Todd Blanch is going to lose his license. All of these people are going to be disbarred because what they're doing is unethical. But when you work for Trump, you're required to commit ethics violations.

[Angie]

Let, let's talk about Trump committing ethics violation violations. So he put out his Trump mobile phone. I'm sure you remember the big announcement.

[Kylie]

Oh yeah.

[Angie]

Not one fucking phone has been delivered, nor do I think they were ever real. Ryan, do you have some information on this?

[Ryan]

Yes, I do. So this number is staggering. 590,000 people paid a $100 deposit for the phone. That's $59 million. The terms of the plan that they sign make it so that there is no guaranteed refund. And, and this was marketed as phone that was made in the usa. After, after, after a week that was removed from the website after, you know, these 590,000 people had ordered it and there was never any manufacturer name. So we never knew where this phone was being produced. So clearly it was never happening. And they literally just stole $59 million from these people who are so naive. I mean there are videos of people online freaking out saying, you know, where is my Trump phone? It's like, dude, it was never coming. It was never coming. Yeah.

[Kylie]

Here's the thing about Trump going all the way back to Trump University, Trump vodka, all, every endeavor, Trump watches. Remember the gold sneakers, the Trump sneaker, You know, we're going to get them to you in form, you know, four weeks and it's like it never happens. But this man is a grifter. The meme coins, Melania's meme coin, this truth social, all of these things are designed for people to invest. They will never get what they're promised. And Trump walks away scot free. That's how he's always done it. And he's been allowed to do it because, because he has more money to continue to litigate it than, than the people that invest. And before we got on, Ryan was like, I just can't believe it's 600,000 people. And I was like down from 77 million. I mean that's an up because I guarantee you the watches, the true social stock, all this other that he's, you know, ruined people's lives and bought in them out financially. I mean, yeah, we've got some slow learners. We do, there's no question. But all of these things were readily available if you would just give it a go.

[Angie]

Do you all remember his nft?

[Ryan]

He launched the trading cards.

[Angie]

Yeah, these NFT trading cards. And his followers have no idea what that is?

[Kylie]

No, they said coming to the mailbox.

[Angie]

Yeah, they kept being upset. They weren't showing up in the mail.

[Kylie]

Okay. So, Ryan, this is before your time at I've had it podcast and I have news. We had a bank teller call in to the show to say that somebody walked into their bank to deposit

[Angie]

Trump money. And I bet they were not alone.

[Kylie]

No, it wasn't just one person.

[Angie]

No.

[Kylie]

These people are not the sharpest tools in the shed.

[Ryan]

That's crazy. Wow.

[Angie]

Okay, so one of Trump's top aide, Stephen Miller, who is more scary because he's a lot smarter than Trump. Okay.

[Kylie]

Right.

[Angie]

We've got a new article in him. The Daily Beast is reporting that Donald Trump is reportedly freezing out Stephen Miller after he devised one of the most glaring missteps of the president's second term.

[Kylie]

So they've narrowed it down to just one misstep. I would think it would be missteps. I read an article over the weekend about Stephen and Katie Miller as a couple. And basically the gist of the article is I do not know who is the more vile of the two in that relationship. And it is really stunning that these two people have found each other and just how craven they both are. But Stephen Miller is a lot of things. He is a white supremacist. He has zero soul. My guess, sociopath. I mean, there's just absolutely not betting against that one. And he likes it. He likes to see people chained up. He probably jacks off to the thought of an immigrant getting caught by a snake or an alligator and dying. Like that's his jam. He loves this shit. He is not. Well, I just want to remind everybody, during Trump's four years when Biden was president, Stephen Miller went around suing everyone for. For white discrimination. And I shit you not, this man is a believer. He is a believer in white supremacy, full stop.

[Ryan]

Just a little bit more of reporting from the article. So one of Trump's big hang ups with Stephen Miller was his response to the killing of Alex Preddy in Minneapolis. So apparently Trump saw that the public was not okay with this. There was huge backlash, and this was even too much for Trump. And he's told some advisors in recent weeks that Miller that he knows that Miller goes too far. And now he's listening to which this should give us a lot of hope. He's listening to Mark Wayne Mullen and Tom Holman on immigration policy.

[Angie]

That's not funny. Because that's scary.

[Ryan]

It's not funny.

[Kylie]

But it's like you have a plumber running the Department of Homeland. That's where we are. He is absolutely the person that I Want advising a US President on homeland security is your plumber. And I fucking love my plumber. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying he has no business doing that. Here's the deal on Stephen Miller. Trump says he goes too far and they're trying to ice him out. Trump should fire his ass if he really believed that he would fire it. But I think Trump is okay with it. I, I mean, to one, to a degree, he likes it. And I'll, and I don't think I know the article says that Trump thinks he went too far. Trump doesn't think he gets went too far. He really doesn't give a if he went too far. What he cares about is the public bash backlash. He doesn't care about the human beings. He cares about the reflection on him.

[Ryan]

And one other thing about Stephen Miller that I found while I was doing some research on him. So he joined Trump's team in 2016 and even, out of all people, even Corey Lewandowski was reluctant to hire Stephen Miller. So if anyone's going to do any sort of character assessment on anyone and fail in Corey Lewandowski's eyes, they really should not be anywhere close to the President.

[Kylie]

No, you've got Corey Lewandowski who's pay for play while he was with his lover at the Department of Homeland Security. And even he doesn't think Stephen Miller has what it takes.

[Angie]

Okay, Ryan, what's next?

[Ryan]

Trump is floating another country joining the United states as its 51st state. Kylie, play the clip.

[Jennifer]

This morning, it was just before the Oval Office, he kind of surprised me a little bit because he said, john, I just want to tell you I'm very serious about this, so you can talk about this. I'm serious about beginning a process to make Venezuela the 51st state. Now, there's a rich history in this nation of taking territories and absorbing them into the United States.

[Kylie]

Okay, stop. Enough. Okay? Number one, Trump wants the oil from Venezuela. That's why this whole thing happened. And let's just. Has anybody heard about all the oil money that was going to go to make the US Better, Venezuela better, and then when, and then it went to Qatar and now you never hear about it again. My bet, Trump's pocket. That's where the money is, 100%.

[Ryan]

I mean, and we've had Greenland floated, we've had Canada floated, now we have Venezuela. I just don't think that they want us like Trump wants them.

[Kylie]

Would you want to come to this raging shit show? Fuck no. Everybody's like, I've Heard tourism's down, world leaders are like, he's fucking crazy. I mean, you're watching the death of a superpower, like by suicide. So of course nobody's dying to do this. And here's the thing. I just find it hard to believe that when you're at a war that you started, that is illegal, that is disrupting the global economy, tanking everything in the United States of America, where do you have the bandwidth to go in and take over another country? Oh, oh, oh. And you're focused on all your little tributes that you're putting to yourself and your gold shit and just being an otherwise nut job. So I am not even remotely thinking this is serious. Okay, listener, we all know that health issues don't just happen between nine and five. They happen at odd hours, at weird times. So that is one of the reasons I love zocdoc.

[Ryan]

And yesterday. I know we've reported on this many times before, but we just like to highlight it because it is important to show the status of our President Trump falling asleep again in the Oval Office. Here he is. He's at a some kind of event focused on women's health. And of course, Trump doesn't give a shit. And so there he is. He's literally. Yeah, if you're listening, his eyes are fully closed. It's not disputable whether or not he's

[Angie]

drooping down like he's had a stroke again, like he's full.

[Kylie]

I mean, it's just. Here's the deal. When he was awake, he was being misogynistic towards the women in his office because he doesn't know. He does not know. That's how he feels. He just says it. And I just want to go back to. We're still around Fox News talking about Joe Biden. You know what. What did. Who knew what when. We all know every single day. So stop. About Joe Biden. Like, there's not one American that can watch him, like, even a Fox News. You showed them the actual clips of what Trump is doing and saying and sleeping and all that. I think even if maybe not the 600,000 that bought the Trump whatever phone, maybe they wouldn't believe it. But I would just think if you looked at him objectively, everyone would say, dude's got to go in a nursing home.

[Angie]

I was going to say pumps on my Twitter feed. I got some MAGA people and they were literally, like, zooming in and being like, look, he's blinking. He's blinking.

[Kylie]

They also probably brought Trump phones.

[Angie]

They. Yeah, they're waiting on it.

[Kylie]

They're waiting on Trump.

[Angie]

Okay. The last thing I want to leave our listener with is you've heard all of us and Jennifer talking about Trump hitting J.D. vance and Marco Rubio against each other. And yesterday he put them on the spot. And I'm just going to play the

[Jennifer]

clip duties out there. J.D. i envy you and other people. I don't know. Who's it going to be? Is it going to be J.D. is it going to be somebody else? I don't know. Does anybody have. Okay, let's go. You ready? Who likes J.D. vance?

[Kylie]

No.

[Jennifer]

Who likes Marco Rubio? All right. Sounds like a good ticket. J.D. it's a perfect. That was a perfect ticket, by the way. I do believe that's a dream team. But these are minor details. That does not mean you have my endorsement under any circumstances. A lot of beauties.

[Angie]

He just had to say that.

[Kylie]

He just had to say that. Here's the thing. J.D. vance is the one he's throwing under the bus right now, but Marco Rubio's turn is coming. You can count on two things with Trump, he is going to put you in a position where you have to commit crimes. That's a 100%. And he is going to humiliate you for fun. That. That's what he does. That's who he is. Look across, go through the line of his entire life. And here's the thing, he does not want anybody to be as popular as he is. And I just wonder if J.D. vance, when he sits, you know, he lays his head on the pillow at night after he takes his eye makeup off with his eye makeup remover, if he says, you know, it was worth it. I am so glad that I was able to throw my wife under the bus, my kids under the bus, my in laws under the bus. I'm so proud of myself that I was not able to stand for one thing that I believe in and I was not able to protect my family. But it's worth it because Trump gets to drag me out and browbeat me and humiliate me every day. I wonder if he ever thinks about that.

[Ryan]

I just love that. So this event took place after he fell asleep in the Oval Office. So after he wakes up from his nap, he comes out and he's polling the crowd on who should be the 20, 28 nominee. It's just not normal behavior. And we've become so numb to this guy. And just if any other president was falling asleep on television, we would be outraged. It would be covered 247 on the news. And yet we're just, we're used to it.

[Kylie]

Yeah. I mean, he gets away with murder. I mean, Obama wears a tan suit. People are still talking about it. Joe Biden, we are still on Fox News going in depth about him. You know, was he sleepy? Joe Biden. And it's just like this guy gets away with fucking murder every day. And the victim of Trump always is the United States citizen. Always.

[Angie]

All right, we've got Jennifer. That's it. Jennifer's coming back tomorrow, so you will see her and Angie Ryan and I will pop in time to time. Angie, you want to close it out?

[Kylie]
