Donald Trump returned to Washington, D.C. after that disastrous speech he gave before the United nations in New York. And this is what Donald Trump saw when he landed in Washington, D.C. right in front of the Capitol Building in the Washington Mall. A spray painted bronze statue titled Best Friends Forever showing Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands. It was placed right there in the National Mall in front of the US Capitol early on Tuesday to greet Donald Trump when he returned from New York. It's an honor of Friendship Month. It says we celebrate the long lasting bond between Donald Trump and his closest friend, Jeffrey Epstein. And then it has the birthday card that Donald Trump sent to Epstein. There must be more to life than having everything than on Jeffrey Epstein statue where it's holding hands with Donald Trump. Nor will I since I also know what it is. Yes, we do come to think about it. As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you. And then Donald Trump statements yes, there is, but I won't tell you what it is. We have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Enigmas never age. Have you noticed that? A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday. And may every day be be another wonderful secret. Meanwhile, this is how the United Kingdom is framing Donald Trump's disastrous UN speech in their Daily Mirror. Deranged, reads the headline. Trump rants to United nations about climate migrants, Gaza, Sharia law in London, escalators, marble floors and teleprompters. Yep, a completely deranged maniac. I wish more American media would report like that because that's the truth. But to be fair, when you look at the Cincinnati Inquirers page one, the main paper over there, they're reporting on things like this. Utility bills spike by 77% since 2020. But Donald, you said that you've destroyed inflation, that prices are at all time lows. Nope. Energy costs for people's homes are at all time highs right now and they're only going to be getting higher with AI data centers, crypto mining, and with the reckless Trump policy there too. There are serious recession indicators that I think it's important that we talk about because corporate news ain't talking about it. So while construction payroll growth is still popping positive year to year, the pace that we're seeing right now is getting close to what we typically see at the beginning of a recession. As Kevin Gordon writes, in fact, it's at the same pace today as it was when the 2001 recession started. There are more indicators as well. Nevada employment growth is turning negative year over year, which in the past 35 years has meant the US is in a recession. More data points US soybean harvest, which began in September, it began without a single order, not one from China, the world's largest buyer. Now, in a typical year, China buys more than half of all U.S. soybean exports. Go to agriculture.com for the data right there. Go to successful farming. Look at The Bloomberg report on it as well. China ain't buying anything, but they are focused on getting their soybeans now from Brazil, who Donald Trump's attacking. Oh, and who else is benefiting now from China's retaliation against the United States? Argentina. But wait a minute. The United States is bailing out Argentina who otherwise is suffering, but they're screwing our farmers. They make this make sense. As Senator Elizabeth Warren writes, donald Trump wants to lend $20 billion of our money, of taxpayer money, to bail out Argentina's leader, Javier Malay and his global investors before the Argentina midterm elections. Oh, and Argentina just struck a major deal with China that crushes American soybean farmers already suffering from Trump's tariffs. I guess that's what America first means. Wall Street Journal writes Javier Milei of Argentina is counting on Trump to bail Argentina out of an economic mess. Donald Trump to the rescue. A leading Argentine columnist wrote of the US Support of Milei as he grapples with popular anger and market turmoil. But wait, didn't Donald Trump and Elon Musk and all of these MAGA leaders claim that Javier Malay was going to make Argentina so great? And didn't they report that the Argentina GDP was soaring? Didn't they say everybody invest in Argentina? Now I remember they made those posts. Oh, you mean to tell me that they're kind of MAGA puppet in Argentina screwed things up and now American taxpayers were bailing out Argentina while Donald Trump guts the programs in America that takes away our health care here? Oh, that sounds about MAGA to me. While Donald Trump builds 90,000 square foot ballrooms in the White House Club Rose Garden, as Donald Trump gallivants to the United Kingdom where he hangs out with King Charles and Windsor palace, as Donald Trump talks about building UFC stadiums around the White House and bails out Argentina. Yeah, because that's what Americans want right now. As grocery prices have never been higher, as there are recession like indicators all around, as the job market is absolutely terrible, as the Trump regime is ripping away Americans health care. Yeah, bailout Argentina first and let's call that America first. By the way, a lot of these MAGA people invested in Argentina. That's one of the reasons that Trump wants to bail them out, to bail out the idiotic MAGA investors who would be harmed. Right. They're always the ones getting the bailouts. But oh, when it comes to student debt, when it comes to American healthcare, when it comes to American education, when it comes to teachers, those are the people who get screwed. So here we have, you have Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant this morning saying the plan is this guy's so arrogant. The plan is we're going to bail him out. We're going to help him out. That is America first. That's America first, dude. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessens just that arrogant shit eating grin on. That's what we're going to do. Yeah, dude, you are an idiot. Here, play this clip.

Want to get your take on Argentina? Because Mr. Secretary, Argentina's peso sliding politics and capital outflows rattling investors there. Javier Milei I guess has lost the confidence of investors. They're pulling their money out of Argentina. They're fearful that he will scrap his defense of the of the peso. You say all options are on the table from swap lines to direct currency support. What's the plan in terms of supporting Argentina?
- [09:39]
Treasury Secretary or Government Official
Is there one the supply? The plan is as long as President Malay continues with his strong economic policies to help him to bridge him to the election. You know, I call this the screens moving to the streets. We are not going to let a disequilibrium in the market be a cause. His backup in his substantial economic reforms. I don't think the market has lost confidence in him. I think the market is looking in the rearview mirror and is looking at decades, if not a century of terrible Argentinian mismanagement. And people are concerned. People are skittish. It's very hard to believe that it is different this time. But I believe with President Milei it is.

Walls who's now the United nations, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations. And he goes, well, we need to give him. Trump needs a Nobel Peace Prize. Nobel Peace Prize. That's what he's saying this morning. Play this clip.
- [11:41]
Energy Secretary or Political Commentator
This is a president of peace. He absolutely deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. And the UN can and should be a forum where we can engage and actually get things done. And if you could relay that to us here, we're just now across the, you know, just across the city. And it's a quick ride when the president's not in town and the UN Is not in town. Congratulations on vision, Ambassador. Appreciate it. Great to see you and good luck today.
- [12:06]
Podcast Host
Then they bring on the Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, and he goes, actually, not only should Trump get a Nobel Peace Prize, Trump deserves the Climate Hero Award by saying that climate change is a scam. This is what they're saying here. Play this clip.
- [12:24]
Energy Secretary or Political Commentator
The funny thing is, I predict in a few years, President Trump will win the Climate Hero Award because his policies, which is pro natural gas and pro nuclear, those are the only two needle movers we have today to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. He's not doing it for that reason. You're right. That's not, that's nowhere near our biggest issue.

It's a longer conversation. And folks, I do want to touch on shooting that took place at a Dallas immigration ICE detention center this morning, where I only want to report on what we know because this is an area fraught with disinformation. We know the shooter is a white guy. We know the victim, one dead, There may be more casualties, but one dead detainee right now, that's what we know. Not an ICE agent, detainee, immigrant was shot. Now, the FBI claims that the bullet says anti ice. On it, they go, it's an anti ICE message. It literally says anti ice. And they rushed right away to say this was leftists targeting ICE agents when the facts that we know, and I stick to the facts here, was the bus pulled up with detainees with migrants, with migrants who had been kidnapped. And then a shooter shot at the migrants. That's what we know. So, but not at the ICE agents. But the narrative started right away. All the right wing, this is leftist, this is left, this rhetoric. All the same thing they do every time with these things when it's a white guy. And then they say, the bullet says anti ice. Remember last time they were like the bullet, the bullet said transgender ideology when it came to the shooting with Charlie Kirk. So let's get the data. But you see the right wing go right into disinfo. Disinfo, disinfo right away. I do want to share this with you as well, though. You have Tom Homan going on Newsmax, right wing propaganda media. And again, he's not denying that he took $50,000 of cash from undercover FBI agents in a kava bag, which is a Mediterranean restaurant food bag. But he says what I did was perfectly legal. He says, perfectly legal. That's what I did. And I'm gonna sue msnbc. He says I'm gonna sue the Washington Post. Here, play this clip right here. What is the story with this and where did it come from?
- [14:51]
Tom Homan
Well, like as Justice Department said, I did nothing criminal, I did nothing illegal, I did nothing wrong. And this is a series of hits against me. Since the beginning of the year, there was, there's been hit pieces about every week. There was a hit piece on my security detail saying I had 30, 31 security detail. I'm wasting millions of dollars. I had about a fraction, a quarter of that. I think I had eight security detail at the time. I had a four car caravan. I had two. Another story about I'm helping certain companies with their contracts. Here's what people need to understand. Day one of the administration, when President Trump asked me to come back and we entered on duty, I met with ethics attorneys and by law, you're supposed to recuse yourself from any company you had affiliations with before. But I took it a step further. I've recused myself from all federal contracts. I won't have any decision making in any federal contract. But people, including this recent case, people are saying, I'm going to line the pockets of people. I signed that declaration. I do not make decisions, any federal contracts. And just so people know, I make about 18% of what I've made in my company to come back and serve my nation. So my family's took a sacrifice, I've taken a sacrifice. I'm back here doing the right thing. The hit pieces keep coming, but I know who's chumming the water. I know who keeps throwing this information out and the media jumps all over it and they're going to see some legal actions real soon. I'm working with the legal team. I'm done with it. They can attack me all they want, but we're going to take action.

Podcast Host
Then finally, you have the Fox host whining about the escalator not working for Donald Trump when we know that Just like the teleprompter that Trump's team controlled. We know that the escalator was also tripped by a Trump videographer. So there we are. There we're at. Let me play you the clip.
- [16:38]
Treasury Secretary or Government Official
If there was sabotage here, somebody doesn't know that the President and the first lady aren't going to fall down and that would be a big problem.
- [16:47]
Energy Secretary or Political Commentator
Yeah, that would have been terrible.

Just, it's just. Is it a coincidence?
- [16:58]
Podcast Host
I mean, you had the teleprompter go down, you had the escalator stop. Katie Pavlich said in the press room, when they were listening to the speech, when the president started talking, the volume went down significantly.
- [17:08]
Energy Secretary or Political Commentator
There's a couple of things that the President brought up I thought was so great. He said the climate change hoax. All you people putting all this money into green energy. Enough with the windmills. I love that North Sea. Start drilling on it. Also while calling them out and challenging people to stop wasting money on this. You heard Mike Waltz tell us that there's seven commissions on climate change. Meanwhile, we got wars raging around the world. Get your act together and control your borders. Your countries are being ruined. Control your borders.
