Host
What was that? Donald Trump's interview on Fox moments ago. Bizarre to say the least. A total disaster was with Laura Ingraham. And Donald Trump points out on his desk that the button you see is for his Coca Cola. It's not the nuclear codes. He says here, play this clip the.
- [00:19]
Commentator
Coke button, it's right here. Everyone thinks that's the nuclear. Everyone thinks that's the nuclear weapon.
- [00:26]
Host
Seriously. Then Donald Trump says this.
- [00:29]
Donald Trump
Let's play it going down. When we're servicing our debt to the tune of about $1.2 trillion a year and there's still deficit spending in Congress. How do we do that?
- [00:40]
Commentator
We have to pay off our debt. We have to start paying. Look, we're very underleveraged when you look at the asset value of this country. But we're over leveraged in terms of cash flow. We're going to have big cash flow. We're going to take in for years. We allowed our country to be raped and pillaged. Raped and pillaged. Terrible expressions. And that's what happened. Much of it was done by our friends.
- [01:05]
Host
Next, Donald Trump talks about the trillions of dollars that the country is going to make by selling Trump gold cards to Chinese and Russian oligarchs. Seriously, play it.
- [01:17]
Commentator
Let's say we sell a million of them. That's $5 trillion. We are now a unbelievably successful country paying down tremendous amounts of debt. It's all going to pay down debt. We're going to have very little debt, separate funds. But if you did think of it, if you did, $5 million.
- [01:37]
Host
Now Donald Trump then says the country has been fat, dumb and foolish looking in the mirror. Here, play this clip.
- [01:46]
Donald Trump
Be a summit in June.
- [01:48]
Commentator
It could be. I mean I wouldn't mind a summit but there's going to be something el place, it's called April 2nd and that's going to be tariffs. And China will pay and other countries will pay business. We've been ripped off by every country in the world, friend and FOE. And on April 2, I call it the liberation of America. We've been the fat, dumb, foolish country that allowed everybody to rip us off, including our.
- [02:16]
Host
Next up, Donald Trump shows Laura Ingraham a photo of the Declaration of Independence which he pretends is the original copy of the Declaration of Independence. It is not the actual Declaration of Independence. It's not the original. But this is what hucksters do. Play this clip.
- [02:36]
Commentator
Reagan. I love Reagan. But here's what they like more than anything. So this is the Declaration of Independence. Wow. And they they ask that this be done. It's never been up. It's been in the vaults for many, many decades. And they said we have to do something like grapes or something, because the light eventually affects it. And it's very cool. Oh, my gosh. Isn't that great? Just woke up yesterday. Wow. Think Joe Biden would do this? I don't think so. You think you'd think of it? Do you think he knows what it is? No, but look at his soul.
- [03:21]
Host
I mean, he has to lie about literally everything. That's not the original Declaration of Independence. He's made up the whole story. Next. Donald Trump says that all of his people, they want to call the Trump Gold card. They want to call it a gold card or the trump card. They're trying to figure out the branding right now. Let's play this clip.
- [03:42]
Commentator
The graduation. They'll buy these.
- [03:45]
Donald Trump
Why should any American kid become a competitor?
- [03:47]
Commentator
And by the way, they're going to call it either the gold card. The problem is there's many gold cards. I will tell you what my people want to call it. It'll drive you crazy. It'll drive the left crazy. They want to call it the trump card because the trump card sells much better than the gold card. Everybody has a.
- [04:04]
Donald Trump
So you're not worried about any unsavory people coming in and taking.
- [04:07]
Commentator
Yeah, I'm worried about unsavory. In which case we're going to be vetted, giving the money back and they get out.
- [04:12]
Donald Trump
They'll be properly vetted.
- [04:13]
Commentator
Are they going to be properly vetted? But, you know, we're talking about a lot of people. I think it's going to be very successful. If somebody's wrong, we get. We actually are very, very nice because it makes it a lot easier legally. We give them their money back and we send them out now.
- [04:29]
Host
So as American people are suffering now economically, as prices are not going down, as people are seeing their pensions and 401ks and life savings disappear, as Donald Trump lies about all of his promises. Should we call it the gold card for the oligarchs, or do we call it the trump card? So ridiculous. Next. Donald Trump says that he's a nationalist, and as a nationalist, he will make sure America does less business with Europe.
- [04:58]
Commentator
Here, play this clip from somewhere. Some of it's going to come from Europe because not everybody's going to be doing as much business, maybe in Europe and other places, but I can only speak for the United States, and I am a nationalist and I'm proud of it. I love this country and I want to help other countries, too.
- [05:14]
Host
Then Donald Trump and Laura Ingraham walk outside of the White House and he says that he wasn't sure about running in 2024 because he says the 2020 election was rigged. Play it out.
- [05:27]
Commentator
You're get.
- [05:27]
Donald Trump
You're coming back into office. When you walked out of here.
- [05:30]
Commentator
Well, I felt that, but I didn't know. Let me say it. I didn't know if I was going to run because I knew how much I won that election by. But if I, if I thought I didn't win the election, I absolutely wouldn't have run.
- [05:44]
Donald Trump
Wow.
- [05:45]
Host
But he's still whining about the 2020 election right now. This guy is a perpetual whiner. Next up, Donald Trump talks about how, why he's paving over the rose garden because of women's high heels who walk over the rose garden. Play it.
- [06:09]
Donald Trump
Are you paving over the grass here?
- [06:11]
Commentator
What was happening is that's supposed to have events. Every event you have, it's soaking wet. It's soaking wet, and people can't. And the women with the high heels, it's just too much.
- [06:21]
Donald Trump
That's who did the Kavanaugh.
- [06:22]
Commentator
That's what we did. That's right.
- [06:24]
Donald Trump
Amy Coney Barrett.
- [06:25]
Commentator
The grass just, it doesn't work. And we have a gorgeous stone and everything else. Okay. But, you know, we use it for press conferences and it doesn't work because the people fall into the, you know, into the wet.
- [06:35]
Donald Trump
The roses stay. The grass goes.
- [06:37]
Commentator
Roses stay. No, it's a rose garden. No, all of this stays. Just the center section. It's going to. I think it's going to be beautiful. I think it's going to be more beautiful. Look at that view over there.

See that, you guys? It's possibly my favorite time of the week when I get to talk to you about coffee. My days don't start till I drink my coffee. And I'm not talking about just any coffee. You know, I don't mess with just any coffee. I'm talking about freshly roasted specialty coff delivered right to my door thanks to trade. Trade is the number one US specialty coffee marketplace, working with over 50 of the country's top roasters to bring you fresh, incredible coffee at grocery store prices. I took their quick coffee quiz. They matched me with the greatest bag of coffee from Columbia from a roaster named Klatch Coffee. I could smell it before I even opened the bag. The flavor is incredible. Fruity notes, even a hint of vanilla. I'd say so good. And if you're picky about coffee, Trade makes sure that you get it right. If your first bag isn't perfect, they will replace it free. Every bag is roasted to order, so you'll taste the difference in every sip.

Host
I mean, seriously, what the hell are we even watching here? Sometimes when I cover what they're doing on Fox in these Trump interviews, I think to myself, this would make Kim Jong Un's propagandists blush.
- [08:06]
Commentator
What?
- [08:07]
Host
Really? It's also odd here. Laura Ingraham, I guess at least asks a somewhat normal question. Do you feel it makes sense to you to allow people like, I don't know, Russian oligarchs and Chinese oligarchs to buy American citizenship? And Trump goes, yeah, that's American. First. Let's play it with Canada.
- [08:26]
Donald Trump
Than you are with some of. Only because our biggest adversaries.
- [08:28]
Commentator
Only because it's meant to be our 51st street. Okay, but no, no, but listen to this for a second.
- [08:34]
Donald Trump
They have territorial advantage. We're not going to get close to China.
- [08:38]
Commentator
Look, I deal with every country indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada. The people that now, this was Trudeau. The people that, good old Justin, I call him Governor Trudeau. His people were nasty and they weren't telling the truth. They never told the truth. You know that, you know, they'd say, well, we don't charge. Well, they do. They charge tremendous. They charge tremendous.
- [09:05]
Host
And I just think to myself, like what MAGA person watches and goes, yeah, man, give those Chinese oligarchs citizenship here. That's what we voted for. America first. What then Donald Trump talks about, he can tell by looking at the people who's going to be trouble.
- [09:26]
Commentator
Who?
- [09:27]
Host
The people who show up in the country unchecked and vetted. He goes, you just look at them, you can profile them and you can tell which ones are going to be trouble. Play this clip.
- [09:35]
Commentator
Nobody has any idea. We had people pouring through our country totally unchecked, totally unvetted. You could look at them and say, this is going to be trouble.
- [09:45]
Host
And yeah, you see, that's why we need due process. That's why we have due process so that Donald Trump doesn't look at people who have a different color skin than him and go, oh, that person's trouble. So I Guess we're gonna send them to concentration camps in El Salvador and you can't challenge it. And that's. And I'm declaring a war with Venezuela that doesn't exist. So I can declare war powers and you can question me. That's what Trump's saying and doing. Look, I think there should be. Duke. Call me old fashioned, I believe in due process. I believe if someone's committed a crime, they should pay the penalty for the crime. I'm a strong believer in law and order. Well, then show me the crime. Just prove it. Show the evidence. Right. That's what a country of law and order is. Donald Trump's then asked if we're going to have a recession in 2025, to which Trump says, we have the strongest country in the history of the planet.
- [10:39]
Commentator
Let's play it 71%.
- [10:41]
Donald Trump
Will we see a recession in 2025? Are you ruling it out?
- [10:44]
Commentator
We're going to have the strongest economic country in the history of the world of the planet. We are taking.
- [10:52]
Host
After that bizarre press conference, you then have Howard Lutnick, Donald Trump's Commerce Secretary, goes on the state regime media known as Fox, and he says, you need to buy Tesla. You need to buy Tesla stock right now.
- [11:07]
Howard Lutnick
Play it to build the next generation technology. I think if you want to learn something on this show tonight, buy Tesla. It's unbelievable that this guy's stock is this cheap. It'll never be this cheap again. When people understand the things he's building, the robots he's building, the technology he's building, people are going to be dreaming of today and Jesse Waters and thinking, gosh, I should have bought Elon Musk's stock. I mean, who wouldn't invest in Elon Musk? You got to be kidding.
- [11:37]
Host
All right, so you're calling. Yes. So you have the Commerce Secretary trying to pump up Tesla stock again. We can't normalize this behavior. You're the Commerce Secretary and you're pumping up an oligarch stock who then gives money to Trump. We all know that this is not how the system's supposed to be. This should piss you off. I want to share this with you to close this video, which is a small portion of my interview with Senator Bernie Sanders. And I think it stands in such stark contrast to what I shared with you. You may agree with me, you may disagree, but watch this message. And this is why I'm a big fan of Senator Sanders and his Fight the Oligarchy tour. This was my interview with him. Just play this small clip.
- [12:27]
Bernie Sanders
And here is the reality, which is not talked about very much. The reality is that in America today, our life expectancy is about four years less than other wealthy countries. But even worse is the fact that if you're working class in America, on average you live seven to eight years shorter life than people who are wealthy. Now why is that? And the answer is not just health care, which is important. Working class people, low income people do not have access to, to the kind of health care that the rich do. But it is the stress, the day to day stress that working class people live under. And I grew up in a working class home. I know a little bit about what it's like to have a family living paycheck to paycheck. And what I did that was in Altoona, Wisconsin. I said, okay, all right, tell me what it's like to live under economic stress. And people just stood up. And one woman says, you know, it's a question of whether I buy shoes for myself or my kids, whether I can afford eyeglasses, whether I can afford to go to the doctor, whether, you know, I'm going to have the money to prepare a decent meal for my kids, that I live every day not knowing, you know, what to expect, how do I survive? And what that is about, that is the reality that tens of millions of our people are living under. We don't talk about it. And what I have learned over the years, that some of the most important issues are the issues that get least discussion. And one of those issues is not just the working class people live six years shorter lives, seven years shorter lives than the rich. That's important. Why is that? But what's equally important is 60% of the American people in the richest country on earth live paycheck to paycheck. That means they go to work and if their landlord raises the rent, they don't know how they're going to be able to pay for it. Kid gets sick, don't know how to can afford to send the kid to the doctor. Car breaks down, don't know how to get it fixed, et cetera, et cetera. That is the reality facing tens of millions of Americans in the wealthiest country on earth. And that is the issue that we got to focus on. And that is why we got to transform our economy so that it works. Everybody, not just billionaires, see the difference there.
