Is mocking Donald Trump. Our enemies are laughing in his face. Our allies who Donald Trump has pushed away when he's isolated. The United States are horrified. Take a look at some of the recent headlines. You have China making an announcement asking the United States to maintain stability of international financial system after the Moody's downgrade. China literally mocking the United States as though it was like a banana republic. And China saying we're just trying to maintain the stability of the international financial system. Donald, can you make it a little more stable for the rest of us? Don't you realize that China is behaving the way the United States used to behave, and the United States is behaving how China used to behave or how North Korea is behaving right now. One of the things we learned as well when Donald Trump had that phone call with Vladimir Putin early in the week, when one of the things that Vladimir Putin was doing to mock Donald Trump was Putin took that call at some random elementary school in southern Russia to make the point that he didn't even give a crap about the phone call. And then when he spoke to Russian press, he made it very clear that he wanted to see the total elimination of Ukraine while Donald Trump was out there saying, oh, we made progress. No, you didn't. You completely caved and capitulated is what happened. Here's what Putin said from inside, inside the elementary school where he took the phone call from Donald Trump. Here, Play this clip. Russia's position is clear. The main thing for us is to eliminate the root causes of this crisis. You take a look what Gary Kasparov, a Russian pro democracy leader, a dissident from Russia, had to say about the whole setting and the message that Putin was sending by taking the call in an elementary school. And Kasparov knows, or Kasparov know, you know, the way Putin's propaganda works. He goes, he was laughing and mocking Donald Trump. Here's what Kasparov had to say. Play this clip.

Putin is laughing at him. He didn't even just come back to Moscow. He spoke to him from a music school in the obscure place in the south of Russia.

Putin enjoys it. I mean, you can see the body language. And also, dictator has to show his strength. He's playing, you know, the.

So he's talking to him from a music school somewhere.

And it's a message to Russians and to many others, you know, just other dictators in the world. Trump is nobody. I mean, look, you know, I can play the American, American president as a broken guitar.

And Donald Trump is so much of an idiot that when Trump gave his press conference, he was saying, well, you know, Putin kept on talking about my wife Melania, and he was saying how respected she is. Here's what Donald Trump had to say. Play this clip.
- [05:00]
Donald Trump
Compassionate first lady, I would say she is very dedicated. In fact, if you look at just what I heard, Putin just said, they respect your wife a lot. I said, what about me? No, they will. They like Melania better. That wasn't good. I don't know if that was good. I'M okay with it. I'm okay.

And then Donald Trump held another press conference earlier yesterday where Donald Trump basically said that he wasn't going to do anything anymore regarding Russia and Ukraine, that it's basically, he's done. He goes, there's lots of big egos involved here. And really, this is a European deal anyway. I'm not going to do anything here. Play this clip.
- [05:43]
Donald Trump
Big egos involved, I tell you. Big egos involved. But I think something's going to happen, and if it doesn't, I just back away and they're going to have to keep going. Again, this was a European situation. It should have remained a European situation.

You said you were going to end the war in 24 hours. That was your promise that you ran on. And I want to be clear. And I'm glad a lot of the press is coming around to this realization now after printing the BS headlines that Donald Trump had, like, accomplished something, that the press is coming around to the fact that, no, Donald Trump completely capitulated. And he says it's too hard for him to negotiate anymore. So he just wants to have Ukraine and Russia deal with themselves directly. But here's what Donald Trump said repeatedly during the campaign. Let's play this clip.
- [06:32]
Donald Trump
And the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Yes. How would you do that? I know Zelinsky very well. I'll end that war between those two countries in 24 hours. It won't even take that long. I will get the war ended. I'll stop all of those lives from being wasted and lost, and there'll be no more bombing of Ukraine.

Now, to be clear, what Donald Trump wants to happen is Trump wants to do financial deals with Putin directly. And what Trump is hoping that if he removes the United States from these destruction, from these discussions and turns a blind eye to what's taking place, Putin can commit the genocide that he wants to commit. And again, yesterday, yesterday, more missiles coming in from Russia into Ukraine targeting innocent Ukrainians. That's what was going down. So Donald Trump went to the Capitol Hill yesterday, you know, showing more loser behavior there. I mean, by the way, in this moment, Donald Trump appears to, like, walk straight into a wall. You know, he's just water a column. Just watch what he does right here. Play this clip.

Donald Trump
Thank you very much, everybody.

And while Donald Trump was there on Capitol Hill, he was asked a question. Do you want these budget negotiations to just end? And he was, like, confused. Like, what negotiation? What's going on? The budget negotiations. That's why you're on Capitol Hill. Right now you're on Capitol Hill because there's a faction of MAGA Republicans who want further cuts to Medicaid. And there's a faction of MAGA Republicans who don't like the optics of cutting Medicaid. And there's a faction of MAGA Republicans who want to raise the cap from the state and local tax deductions that you put on during your first term. And then Donald Trump, when he's answering these questions, just starts randomly attacking blue states. Play this clip.
- [08:36]
Donald Trump
Negotiations to be open now. Which negotiation? Over this bill. Oh, yeah, well, it's going to be, we're going to be putting it in soon and I think we're going to have great support. We're going to make a couple of tweaks. I mean, we don't want to benefit Democrat governors, although I would do that if it made it better. But they don't know what they're doing. We don't want to do any damage to a state. We want to help all the states, but we have governors that are from the Democrat Party, let's say New York telling them what big ones. And let's say Gavin Newsom, who's done a horrible job in California. You know, we want to benefit the, we want to benefit Republicans because they are the ones that are going to make America great again. The Democrats are destroying our country. And you see that with the passing administration with an open borders policy that allowed 21 million people into our country. And many of those people are stone cold murderers, killers and trouble, by the.

Way, just like so utterly unhinged. When you look through Donald Trump's social media platform, like the ads like this nuvia dental implants. This is what you see in between Donald Trump's post and then so here's Donald Trump's new post right after the MAGA Republicans, you know, spread all of these conspiracies about 5G and 6G. Wasn't that like their whole big conspiracy? 5G, 6G MAGA now apparently loves 5G Donald Trump's post. We must maintain our status as the worldwide worldwide leader in Wi Fi, 5G and 6G connecting every American to the world, world's best networks. Well then if that's the case, then why are you ripping apart former President Biden's Inflation Reduction act and Infrastructure act as well. That would further 5G and 6G networks. Speaking though of like how MAGA just, you know, changes their positions on everything. So the deputy director of the FBI, Dan Bongino, I can't believe I'm Even saying that who was a, you know, deranged right wing podcast guy who would like, do the Jeffrey Epstein like conspiracies and you know, do all like the cabal conspiracies? I mean, Bongino was the worst, but now Bongino's the deputy FBI director and he's like, nope, I've, I've looked at the Epstein files and I can confirm that it was definitely, he definitely died by suicide and it was not any of the conspiracies that what we previously spread as our editor in chief Ron Philip Koski says on the left is how you build a right wing talk show audience. And on the right, after becoming Deputy FBI director. Here, play this clip.

Listen, that Jeffrey Epstein story is a big deal. Please do not let that story go. Keep your eye on this. Katherine Rummler, I want you. We need to keep the heat on this case, folks. There are a lot of people who are knee deep in the Washington swamp who are not telling you the truth about serious allegations out there that Epstein may have had video and audio of people out there doing things they shouldn't have been doing. And you should be asking yourself the question, how is it that all these people, the CIA director, the Obama fixer, Bill Clinton all intersected past with Jeffrey Epstein? Jeffrey Epstein isn't with us anymore and nobody seems to want to talk about it outside of a few entrepreneurial media outlets saying, hey, this is a big deal. He killed himself. Again, you want me to, I've, I've seen the whole file.
- [12:06]
Political Commentator 1
He killed himself. And the lies just keep coming in from Donald Trump. Yesterday, during Donald Trump's press conference, he claimed that even if the budget bill adds trillions of dollars to the deficit, he goes, no worries. He says that he brought in $5.1 trillion in the last four days in the Middle east, which of course is an absolute lie. Here, play this clip.

When you first announced this idea, critics said it would be prohibitively expensive, potentially ineffective, and could trigger an arms race in space. What do you say to those critics about that?
- [12:43]
Donald Trump
Well, the wrong is about as close to perfect as you can have in terms of real production. I told you, Canada wants to be a part of it, which be, you know, fairly small expansion. But we'll work with them on pricing. We'll be dealing with them on pricing. They know about it very much. They've asked to be a part of it. Actually, they've asked us to be a part of it. I think it's something that is great if you can afford to do it. We can afford to do it. You know, we took in $5.1 trillion in the last four days in the Middle East. And when you think about it, that's, this is a tiny fraction of that. But we make it all here. We're going to make it all here. We have. When I will tell you, an adversary told me, a very big adversary told me the most brilliant people in the world are silicon valleys.

You didn't bring in any money. If I'm being completely candid. You have commitments, but also there's no commitment for $5 trillion. The entire Qatar GDP is 200 billion. The United Arab Emirates 400 billion. Saudi Arabia's entire GDP is 1.1 trillion. They're not giving your entire annual, their entire ann GDP for multiple years based on a meeting. It's just, it's just more lies after lies after lies. You know, I think this guy, Justin Wolfer, economist, professor at University of Michigan, I think puts it, he has this graph. He's like, total deals done by Donald Trump in 90 days. And he does the chart. Zero actual deals done in 90 days that are actually binding. The UK deal, not a real deal. Not binding. It literally says this is not a binding deal on the bottom of it. Ok, so it's not a real, it wasn't even a real deal. China, not a deal. It was a consensus where the United States caved and capitulated to China and just withdrew 145% tariffs to 35% tariffs, which are still incredibly, incredibly harmful. And now you see the 30 year treasury yields look like they're going to hit a five handle. Looks like they're going to hit 5%. And now China is lecturing the United States on financial stability in the international markets. Like, like, do you know how embarrassed, like it's so utterly embarrassing. And here's the message from Germans Fire Germany's foreign minister. We expect our US allies not to tolerate the fact that Russia did not impose an immediate ceasefire. That's coming from Germany's foreign minister because just everywhere around the world they're seeing how weak and pathetic Donald Trump is. And they're all just, what the hell is even going. Like, what in the world is going on there in the, in the United States right now? So Donald Trump will make his post. I want a gift. Gimme. You know, come on, Ben, give me. I'm giving you a MAGA award. I have to hit my fundraising goals. Fundraising for what? What the hell are you even talking about again? This is the most weak and pathetic presidency I've.
