0:04I guess the Republicans, corporate Dems, any industry titans, nobody's going to do anything to stop this madman. He sends this petulant letter that everybody saw yesterday that pumps covered to the Prime Minister of Norway that since I didn't win the Peace Prize, F it, let's start wars, which is so unhinged. If your child sent something like that, they'd be in trouble. And these are very serious issues. The world order, our allies, We have spent 250 years investing into these partners and these allies. All of our taxpayer money is going to be flushed down the toilet because this man would rather collude with a failed Russian state and a Russian dictator than take up for the Americans in this country and specifically the working class Americans that voted for him.

0:59I mean, now they're floating like, let's give every Greenlander$100 ,000. And the Greenlanders are like, no, thanks. We have free health care and we're not greedy like you all are. Like America is disgusting to us. The way you think about people, the way you think about money morally disgusts us. And so here he is on his way to Davos talking. He's still laser focused on this peace prize. Play the clip. If anybody thinks that Norway doesn't control the Nobel Prize, they're just kidding. They have a board, but it's controlled by Norway. And I don't care what Norway says.

1:40I just, I've run out of words to describe how shameful and appalling this is. I've run out of words describing how a man threatens war because he didn't win the peace prize. I mean, so many things need the attention of the United States. People are dying in the United States because of this administration. And he's running around still talking about the Nobel Peace Prize. I just don't know what else to say about how insane this person is. I think the next thing to say is where are industry titans? Where is a joint press conference with all of the Democrats? I'm talking about leftists, progressives, and corporate Dems like Cory Booker, who wants to give ICE more funding, like Chuck Schumer, who is very alarmed, who writes letters.

2:41When are they going to get serious and stand up for America and for Americans? Because if they, every single day, had press conferences and applied pressure, pretty soon you could start really, really needling out Republicans. They should be screaming at the top of their lungs all day, every day, 25th Amendment. It is gaslighting us to not be saying that. It is a form of appeasement and manipulation on behalf of the corporate Dems who come out and say, oh yeah, these ICE agents just need more funding, or I'm very alarmed and I'm going to write a letter. Do you think we're stupid? Because we're dying for leadership in the appeasement branch of the Democratic Party is not rising to the occasion.

3:33And these billionaires all have group psychosis. They think that we shouldn't have democracy. They think that they don't know what it's like to suffer healthcare issues. They don't know what it's like to fly commercial even. And so one of Trump's biggest tools that he uses is the humiliation exercise. and Europe still keeps trying to play patty cake with him. They still just like corporate Dems. They still think in their mind somewhere, oh, we'll be able to flatter him off the edge. It's like everybody's in this joint state of denial in dealing with him that is in the governing class where all of us that are out here are like, he's toast, 25th amendment, save the country, get serious, guns blazing, let's go.

4:20And to the MAGA people who hate watch us all the time. When I say guns blazing, I mean that metaphorically. I don't own a gun. I don't want anybody putting a gun on any politician, period. You nutjobs. But here he is humiliating Emmanuel Macron by screenshotting and sharing their private text messages. Pop this up, Kylie. Newswire reports, Trump shared this on True Social, showing a text message from Macron. and then Macron says, my friend, we are totally in line on Syria. We can do great things on Iran. I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland. Let us try to build great things. One, I can set up a G7 meeting after Davos and Paris on Thursday afternoon.

5:04I can invite the Ukrainians, the Danish, the Syrians, and the Russians in the margins. Let us have a dinner together in Paris together on Thursday before you go back to the US. Emmanuel. And so Emmanuel Macron sends this to him and Trump, he likes to humiliate people. This is a humiliation exercise. So he screenshots it and he posts it to humiliate Emmanuel Macron, much in the same way that Tim Cook and all of these other billionaires in the United States have to make him trophies and go give them their trophies. And so my thing with this is, is people are just not getting this. Right. And it's a really frustrating thing to watch where you think that there are experts out there.

5:53Like as a person that's been living your life, you assume, oh, there's experts out there. They're going to realize this is FUBAR and they don't. And like, even the Europeans are still trying to play patty cake with him. It's like, have you not learned that you could have a great conversation with him and like really suck up to him, tell him all sorts of favorable, effusive things. The Russians are going to know you did it immediately. Hang up. Vladimir is going to call him like this man is not going to stay stable in anything. So why the suck up with this? And they're not learning that you have to play hardball with a bully.

6:33And maybe I just live in a bubble where I'm just not privy to diplomacy and why this would be helpful. Okay. I look at the Macron text and I'm like, other than making Trump look like a fucking nutball and a sixth grader, why would he do this? Why would he put this on social media? Does it make Trump look better? Does it make people in Europe trust him more? Does he think he looks like a big guy. This whole thing, I don't understand why nobody is ringing the bell. It just seems to me that all we're doing is trying to placate somebody that he's completely decompensated into madness. I don't think there's anybody that looks, even at Fox News with the$100 ,000 to Greenland, any American watching this has got to say, I just, boy, I don't know about this guy.

7:26Even with the fluffery that we're seeing from Fox News and the White House press court, this is madness, full stop. Okay, now, Kylie, play the clip of Trump talking about Putin and Macron. Have you invited President Putin to be a member of the Board of Peace? Yeah, he's been invited. Do you have any response to President Macron saying he will not join the Board of Peace? Did you say that? Well, nobody wants him because he's going to be out of office very soon. That's all right. What I'll do is if they feel like Costo, I'll put a 200 % tariff on his wines and champagnes and he'll join. But he doesn't have to join.

8:08If he said that, you're probably giving it to me a little bit differently. But if he actually did say that, but as you know, he's going to be out of office in a few months. Okay. So these things were done in tandem. The leaking of the private message with Emmanuel Macron, and then him saying on the tarmac that he was going to give him a tariff of 200%. This man is simultaneously starting, and I saw this on Instagram. So these are not my thoughts. I want to give credit to whoever the brilliant poster was. This man is simultaneously wanting to start a civil war in the United States and a world war abroad while having these nonstop grievances about not winning the Nobel Peace price.

8:51It's really staggering. And these two things done to Emmanuel Macron in tandem is number one, he says, Putin is going to be on my peace panel. This is this idea that he has where he's invited every dipshit autocrat of a failed state. I'm talking about Orban. I can't remember the name. It's like Lakinschenko, I think is the name is another autocrat that he's invited to be on this Peace Board, Vladimir Putin, they all have to give a billion dollars and guess whose bank account the billion dollars goes into? His. And so he uses our economy for his own personal leverage to enrich himself. When he says he is going to put 200 % tariffs on French wines, American taxpayers pay that.

9:44That is a tax on Americans. So he is using the economy that we all invest in to enrich himself and to use it as a bargaining chip to get people to give him a billion dollars. And this humiliation exercise with Macron, I think this guy is out to lunch. I think this is impeachable. I think we need to start talking about 25th Amendment. But we're going to see this go on more and more, Because if you look at Russian media right now and how much they are praising these provocations of the United States towards their NATO allies, they are loving it. If you look at the language of J.D. Vance and the way he speaks about the EU, you see that he's very much aligned with Vladimir Putin, the failed state of Russia, and with these oligarchs.

10:35These oligarchs are also anti-EU because the European Union shows the world we will regulate capitalism and we will provide a social safety net and we stand for civil liberties. I look at this and I think Trump doesn't want a peace board. He wants to go in and build hotels. And in my mind, I mean, I'm not a foreign policy expert, but my guess would be everybody that has just a scintilla of foreign policy experience would know that no European country would sign off with Putin on the board. So it tells me they want to go build hotels in Gaza. Trump wants to pocket a billion dollars and they don't give a fuck about the Palestinian people.

11:22They don't care if there's peace in Gaza. They want hotels. They're acting like they want peace, but they want to make money. They want to exploit, as we've all talked about, Jared Kushner and his beachfront property ideas. So I almost think, like, I think he's incompetent for 100%, but somebody said, well, if Europe gets in there on this board, they're going to try to make concessions and help people. So let's invite all these dictators so that you just get carte blanche and you pocket a million dollars. Everybody wins in his mind. Maybe I'm crazy. A billion. A billion. Did I say million? Yeah.

12:02A billion. That's how crazy it is. I mean, because that wouldn't just naturally, you know, everything with this guy is a shakedown. He's shaking down everybody. He's shaking down the he shook down all the law firms in the United States. He shook down the universities. He's shaking down the tech industry. He shakes down now our allies. Meanwhile, Russia is shaking him down. And so, and, and Benjamin Netanyahu shaking him down. And I don't know if you saw like this weird thing with Lindsey Graham on this tour of Israel. And he's like standing there with this thumbs up. I'm with the leader of Mossad.

12:37And I thought to myself, how much footage do they have Mossad of Lindsey Graham doing gay shit? Because here you have the senator from South Carolina, a state that needs help, a state whose people really need somebody to fight for them in Washington. And he never mentioned South Carolina. He's just wound up like a cheap clock about Iran in Israel. It's just our politicians are so gross. Speaking of gross, I've always been kind of off pit by the leader of the Netherlands. His name is Mark Ruda. And he's the guy who came over here to the United States and started referring to Trump as daddy. And I thought at the time, like, okay, he got the psychological profile, which I think that's true.

13:27And he is effusively praising him to curry favor. And here he is in a private message, kind of going along with all this daddy stuff, which of course, Trump screenshots and then posts on his idiotic social media platform put this up. It says, he writes, thank you, Mr. Ruta, the secretary general of NATO. So this is what he says, dear Mr. President, dear Donald, what you accomplished in Syria today is incredible. I will use my media engagements in Davos to highlight your work there in Gaza and in Ukraine. I am committed to finding a way forward on Greenland. Can't wait to see you. Yours, Mark. Let me tell you about Trump's, sorry guys, I've got a sun situation.

14:17Let me tell you about Trump's work in Gaza. I read a report this morning that the United States and Israel, or Israel with the funding of the United States, killed over 300 ,000 kids under the age of five. And so why are we praising these people? Why are we acting like we're the democracies of the world and these guys are just out there, you know, crushing it? It's so disturbing to me the way this man gets treated on the national stage and the appeasement from both our allies and the corporate Democrats. I want to look at this and say, what has he done in Greenland? He was going to stop the war on the first 24 hours.

15:06It's still raging. And he can't even get Putin to come to the table. And he's telling Ukraine, yeah, just give him everything. So tell me what the accomplishments aren't in Ukraine. I don't see them. Okay. Yeah. Here I'm pulling this up. Sarah Wilkinson, she is a journalist and she tweets today that new data finds the Israelis have killed over 680 ,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including 479 ,000 children, 380 ,000 under the age of five. So, for the General Secretary of NATO, Mr. Ruta, to praise him about his work in Gaza, when our taxpayer money, and this goes from Biden and Kamala, transfer straight over to the Trump regime.

16:05479 ,000 kids and 380 ,000 under five. And you have these far right Jewish groups that say that Americans protesting this war, this genocide is the spear of antisemitism. Meanwhile, everybody that's in the epicenter of the MAGA movement is out clubbing in Miami doing Sig Hyls, the new DEI Nazis that are all out there doing SIG Hiles. The anti-Semitism is in the party that you're going to seek safety. Nothing about this and these damning stats and this horrible genocide is going to make Jewish people safe and denying it is not going to make Jewish people safe. So this is just abhorrent that our allies, alleged allies, I mean, I think, but I can't believe that they're praising him about Gaza.

17:00I mean, we need to have politicians that arise, arrive at the conversation and just say, it was a genocide. We will not fund any of this period ever, ever. This is, it is a crime against humanity. It's horrible. And then lastly, here he is after he screenshots his text with his friends and then posts it and he's acting like a nut. He does that. He's an all night bender always, you guys posting crazy shit. And he posts the stuff like this. Brian Krasenstein tweets, Trump is now posting multiple private messages from European foreign leaders on social media as he's attacking the UK and posting an AI image of the US owning Canada, Greenland and Venezuela as our staunchest NATO allies look on.

17:58Meanwhile, interest rates are soaring this morning, stocks are plunging and precious metals are through the roof. And there he's posting, he reposts all this stuff where it shows an American flag over the United States of America, over Canada and over Greenland. Like this is just not a serious person. It's a very dangerous person. I don't think one thing he does is funny anymore. When I see those numbers of what our taxpayer money funded, while people in this country are going bankrupt because they have cancer or because they have some disease or the child has some disease and they're going bankrupt, but we can kill half a million kids.

18:40It's just a horrible, what a horrible indictment on this country's foreign policy and foreign aid. Well, when you look at this administration, they're doing the same thing at home. I mean, they're rounding up people with masks. They're going in, U.S. citizens, people that are here legally. What we have to accept is they have no respect for human life. Trump is power thirsty. He's hungry and seen the overtaking of Venezuela and bombing the boats. And it's just wet his thirst for power. It seems to me at this point, nothing can satiate him. He is off his rocker. And when you start talking like that, like I've seen opinion pieces, like it's time for the 25th amendment.

19:30We've been at the 25th amendment. Now we're in a five alarm fire. Send everybody. This is fucking crazy. Canada with the Americans, like he's been signaling this since he got in office. this. It's just, it's mind boggling that we're sitting here talking about it and everybody else, not everybody, but so much of the mainstream media is both sidesing this. There's not both sides. It's fucking crazy. And if you don't see that it's crazy, then you're the problem. It's just that simple to me. I totally agree. All right, guys, that's all we have. Please like, subscribe, comment, and we'll be back later with more news.

20:13Thank you.
