In short
The episode argues that Donald Trump’s health is failing and that his leadership is incompetent, vindictive, and self-serving. It claims his France/G7 handshake with Emmanuel Macron shows signs of cognitive decline, possible stroke, swelling (cankles/“sausage” hand), and poor circulation. It also alleges Trump weaponizes the Justice Department against political opponents, citing a Washington Post report that California Gov. Gavin Newsom is under federal investigation, plus Newsom’s own statement that Trump targeted him and his wife. The hosts criticize MAGA Republicans for enabling this. Notable examples include Trump’s “American flag blue” reflecting pool renovation turning green with algae, and Fox News allegedly spinning it as “brilliant.”

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04Angie Sullivan:Something's going on with Trump's health. I mean, it is weekend at Bernie. They have trotted this guy up, propped him up. They've drug him over to France after his racist UFC lubricated men crawling all over each other on the lawn of the White House. It's the craziest shit ever. How is this guy our president? But anyhow, here he is with the much younger, much more, a lot more strength, Emmanuel Macron. Krohn at the G7 summit. And here is MAGA's alpha male attempting to shake hands. Play the clip. Shake Mr. President.
0:45Angie Sullivan:Yeah. I mean, what's going on, groupie? I mean, what's going on? I mean, I'm not a doctor. You are not a doctor. I think we're looking at, in my unprofessional opinion, stroke victim stuff here. There's no question in all these headlines, Trump may be in cognitive decline. Newsflash, he is 100 % in cognitive decline. He has dementia on top of other physical ailments that do not allow circulation into his ankles. Well, it's interesting you mentioned that because, Kylie, let's jump to number three here. Look at his right hand in this video. All right, here you go. Look at that thing. I mean, look at those little sausages.
1:34Angie Sullivan:I mean, that is just, so you have that started at the ankles, right? And then we had the cankles. And this has been going on where you have, you know, everybody knows what a muffin top is, right? Pumps where you have on your jeans and you got the, you know, side. He has cankle tops out of his shoes. And then that hand, Kylie, can you zoom in on that hand? It is like this swollen little sausage. And this is him while Kylie gets the zoom in. This is him last year trying to be an alpha with Macron. This is what he normally does. Play this one. You see him there and he's doing, oh yeah, we're just gonna hang on to it.
2:12Angie Sullivan:We're gonna squeeze, you know, Trump likes a strong man. He likes touching them. and there he is. So this year that I have to say kind of a limp dick handshake from American leadership. And then we have, do we have the zoom in of this hand, Kylie? Look at that thing. With bad makeup. It looks like a baseball mitt, like he has on a baseball glove.
2:36Angie Sullivan:All right. So on top of all the crazy stuff that happens all the time, Trump is a petty person. He is a vindictive person. He doesn't care about the country. He sees the country as his own personal playground, his own personal real estate. He has plundered all of the money, plundered the military. And anybody who speaks out against him, he wants to go after. And now pop this up. The Washington Post is reporting breaking news. California Governor Gavin Newsom said he and his wife are under federal investigation and accused President Trump of weaponizing the Justice Department against him. And he is considering as he is considering a presidential run.
3:19Angie Sullivan:Angie. Well, for one, I was surprised it hadn't happened before, because I'm sure that since Gavin Newsom press office has their account that trolls him, I'm sure it's been on his mind. And he probably had to wait until someone as totally corrupt and morally bankrupt and ethically could give a fact for Todd Blanche to get to the DOJ so that he could put pressure on the California U.S. Attorney's Office. But frankly, I wasn't surprised at this. I'm surprised it took so long. I think at some point, I think we're starting to witness the whole fighter that said the very racist, transphobic, homophobic, sexist, misogynistic comment about Michelle Obama at the UFC.
4:06Angie Sullivan:And now we're investigating this person. We're investigating that person. Now, for the MAGA cultists, if you triple Trump, you're down for all of this. We know that. We know that you like this type of immaturity and impotent leadership. But there's a lot of independent voters who don't stay as engaged as we do and as our listener does. And they're going to at some point be like, again, with this guy, you know, maybe they're watching reality TV and then they go over and watch a little bit of news. But I think there's going to be a huge backfire. And here is Newsom responding to the investigation.
4:39Angie Sullivan:Play the clip. James Adam Schiff. He sent them after Tim Walz and a woman that a jury found Donald Trump had sexually abused. One by one, anyone who has challenged Donald Trump has ended up on his hit list. And today I proudly joined that list. After calling for my arrest last year, Donald Trump directed his Department of Justice to investigate me. And just in the last week, I've learned that his campaign has reached my own home. To get me, he's coming after my wife, Jen. And this is one year after the assassinations of the Minnesota state lawmakers. And the fact that Trump has determined that the enemies of the United States are Americans and free and fair elected Americans is something that is so chilling.
5:37Angie Sullivan:And I get a bitter old queen like him. I get a screwed up person. I understand it. What I don't understand are all of the Republicans going along with this. And then all of the MAGA voters that claim to be these patriots, family values people. I mean, this is just the fact that everybody has caved to all of this guy's delusional bad ideas is something I don't think I'll ever get over. Well, I just shows you how like weak this group of Republican leaders are. They are so fucking weak. They will bend the knee to this man all day, every day. And that doesn't even, And you can't even start about the response by Chuck Schumer and alike.
6:26All right.
6:27Angie Sullivan:And then everything he does, like, let me say it like this. Trump's incompetence is really something that is world class. Like he puts on a master class in incompetence every single day. So he has this idea that he's going to make the reflecting pool American flag blue. And it's going to be this blue reflecting pool. And all of the MAGA people, what's that? Caroline Levitt, she took a little trip with the family and she posted a little family outing, checking out the reflecting pool. I love the golden age of America MAGA. I love our president. Well, here's what the reflecting pool looks like after I think it's 20 million dollars they spent on this.
7:11Angie Sullivan:Pop this up. Trump's American flag blue reflecting pool renovation is already bright green with algae. It's a$14 million beautification. So everything that he does is a disaster. Everything that he touches is a disaster. Now we're paying$300 billion to Iran. We paid$30 billion to Argentina. We spent$80 billion on Iran. We have fired off a lot of the federal workforce. Donald Trump is six,$7 billion richer. All of the idiots surrounding him are richer. And so my question is, when are Americans going to have the appetite to elect politicians that deliver for them and not for these incompetent, mediocre, morally defunct men?
7:59I'm beginning to wonder if they ever will, especially the right wing. A couple of things I'll just add to this. Number one, Trump has made the reflecting pool the swamp because he is the swamp. Everybody around him is the swamp. And Caroline Levitt going for a family pictorial at the reflecting pool when she was sitting in the situation room talking about covering up little girls being raped. Caroline Levitt was in the situation room? Yes, she sure was. Ooh. Yes, she sure was. And you know what? That's exactly who I thought she was.
8:36Angie Sullivan:There's no question. I mean, these MAGA women that cover up for the sex crimes of the MAGA men are diabolical. I mean, truly, these are women that say, we don't think women should have the right to vote. I have a great idea. Don't vote. Don't do it. Sit your ass at home and stay at home. The difference between the left and the right is this. The left, we want everybody to be able to be who you want to be. If you are gay, if you are bi, if you are black, if you are Mexican, if you come from an immigrant family, if you are a Quaker Christian that wants to have missionary sex your whole life, swing for the fences.
9:17Angie Sullivan:It's a free country. We will fight for your right to do all of those things. You don't want women to vote? Good. You and the women in your life don't vote. The right wants everybody to be as miserable as they are. And they want all women to be the exact same flavor. They want everybody in the country to be the exact same flavor. And it's, I think they're a day late and a dollar short because the multiculturalism is here. There's nothing that you can do. Stephen Miller is not going to be able to deport his way out of this. It is cooked into our culture. And we have to, as white allies, heterosexual allies we have to stand up and i saw this great clip from mark ruffalo and he said he doesn't have near as many friends as he used to have because he just cannot be friends with people that support this and i've never related to something so much in my life watching gwyneth paltrow you do all of her videos about cooking and all of this stuff and then she said while all of this stuff's happening watching her sit down and uh say i don't really feel anything my husband thinks I'm a Republican.
10:26Angie Sullivan:I'm going to do an ad for Israel. And then you see Robert De Niro and Julia Roberts at the Tribeca Film Festival stand up and humanize Renee Good, who was shot by her government, murdered, and then called a fucking bitch. No investigation into the murder of her. The guy who shot her and then called her a fucking bitch. Zero disciplinary actions. So in a world of Gwyneth Paltrow's, be a Julia Roberts. Be the white heterosexual that stands up for our multicultural society. All right, hey moms and dads, let's have a real discussion here. Most of us grew up thinking all cleaning products were safe, but the truth is most conventional cleaners are full of harsh chemicals that can cause a host of health problems, from eye and skin irritation to disrupting our hormones and so much more.
11:19Angie Sullivan:In these days, with all the greenwashing and claims of products being clean or natural, it can be hard to figure out what is actually safe. That's why I'm here to discuss Branch Basics. They are made from plant and mineral-based ingredients. Branch Basics is human-safe and fragrance-free, making it perfect for families or anyone looking to switch to a healthier home cleaning products.

Whether you're going all in on safe cleaning swabs or just starting small, find Branch Basics at Target and Target.com today. And then just I want to leave you with this reflecting pool. Here is a Fox News reporter and this guy is dead serious. This is not SNL. This is a dead serious reporter on Fox News. Play the clip. I'm here at the newly renovated reflecting pool. It's painted American flag blue and the Democrats are going to tell you, oh, there's green algae.
12:49It looks so bad, but there's pool guys cleaning it up right now. No other president would do that. But President Trump is still cleaning it up. How is the reflecting?
12:58Angie Sullivan:Yeah, no other president would do that. You're exactly right. Nobody, no other president would make such a huge mistake and spend$15 million with his buddy, who was some pool guy at some golf course he owns, who was clearly over his skis on the project. And that no other president would do such a stupid, stupid thing. But when it comes to MAGA, and it comes to Trump's decisions, the list of stupid shit that he does is infinite. in the ability of Fox News to spin it as though it's somehow brilliant, brave, and courageous is equally as infinite. You know, I just think all of these projects cost money.
13:41Fox News, you are fiscal Republicans. All of this shit, no other president has thought about the reflecting pool because they're busy trying to solve global crisis, domestic crisis. This is a man that could give a fuck. He's worried about his little tchotchkes and knickknacks and gold-plated this and the reflecting pool. You're the president of the United States of America, and your biggest thing is the reflecting pool in a ballroom.
14:10Angie Sullivan:That's your big priorities. And let's just take that a little bit deeper, Pump. She said, Fox News, you're supposed to be fiscal conservatives. What Trump has exposed is that's always been a lie. Republicans have never been fiscal conservatives. They have always started wars. They have always driven up the deficit. What Republicans are, are rich people get all of the entitlements, all of the loopholes. They get all of the corporate welfare. They get all of the subsidies. And then we blame it on poor people in the name of being fiscally conservative. What Trump has done, and smart Democrats will message as such, is point out that the lies that the Republican Party, long before Trump have promoted to the American public, have just bald face lied for decades, are now exposed.
14:59Angie Sullivan:So in the spirit of Julia Roberts and in the spirit of Mark Ruffalo, right now is a time where you can show the world what side of history you're on. And if somebody says to you, oh, I'm not political, they're just showing you that they're fine with everything that's going on because everything right now in the throes of a fascist takeover is political. All right, That's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later.
