0:28Mom, can you tell me a story?

0:34All right, the midterms are going to be here before we know it. And according to all polling, it is going to be a massive blue tsunami. So Donald Trump is trying to get ahead of this because I think the turnout is going to be too big to rig. And we all know he is trying to do everything in his power to cheat and circumvent a free and fair election because at his core, He is a con man, dirty cop cheater. But I think he's waving the white flag. Listen to this clip. Let me just ask you about the midterms. Do you expect the Republicans to lose seats in the House? And what does that mean for your agenda?

1:12Well, I just left with Mike Johnson and some great people, some great congressmen and women in the Oval Office. I think we're going to do good. Now, with that being said, when somebody gets elected president, that party always loses the midterms. I don't know why. I don't know why. Nobody can explain it. I ask people that are deep into the psychological world. I said, why is it that a voter votes for the opposite party? Even when you have a good president, I think I had the greatest year, the greatest opening year. I read the greatest. Look, I ended eight wars. a ninth is coming but I ended eight wars nobody's ever ended one war who's ended one nobody we have the biggest tax cuts ever we have the biggest regulation cuts ever the greatest economy ever pretty much including the fact that I took a detour into Iran in order to stop something that would have just could have destroyed the world right um but even when you have a great president they tend to lose the midterms.

2:18I've heard enough. I've heard enough. All right. First of all, I want to address the fact that he was meeting with Mike Johnson in the Oval Office. Did Mike Johnson say, Mr. President, can I get my balls out of the top drawer of your desk and attach them really quickly? We're going to get our ass beat in the midterms. Don't try to cheat. It's going to be horrible. You're going to have to take the L. Okay, here's my balls back, sir. number two trump saying i have asked deep into the psychological world why it is what is this phenomenon that i'm going to lose i mean first and first of all we know he is not he just makes shit up on the fly and free balls it and then thirdly he says the ninth war that he's solving is coming up soon you started the war you started the war in iran because you're too big of a pussy and or compromised by Benjamin Netanyahu to have said no like every other president before you.

3:12So you had to start the war and now you're going to claim I need to win the Nobel Peace Prize because I stopped the war that I started. Utter insanity. But obviously Maria Bartolomo is just a total knee bender to fascism. And here we find her unable to push back on basic facts about who is currently a sitting United States Senator because our senior citizen, dementia ridden president has no fucking clue. Play the clip. And you think Kevin Worsh could get confirmed? You think Tom Tillis is going to give you a vote? Well, we're going to have to find out. He might that, but that's why Tom Tillis is no longer a senator.

3:54On the AIG.

4:00She doesn't even correct him. She's just like, okay. Okay. And that's, you know, that's one of the biggest crimes of the media, whether it be right wing, corporate, whatever, that they let him get away with this shit, that they sane watch it, that they don't say, hold up. Tom Tillis is a sitting United States Senator. Did you forget that? Are you okay? You say that you passed all these cognitive exams and you don't even know that he's currently in the Senate. Never going to happen. They're never going to push him back. They have this president of ours who is a criminal deep in the middle of a pedophile ring, a horrible decorator.

4:37They have him wrapped up in this bubble wrap to where he has no idea what is happening around him. And here's a clip where he says the Iran war that he started on the foothills of stealing the Nobel Peace Prize from the winner, Ms. Machado. Here he is saying this war is close to over. Play the clip. I had to divert because if I didn't do that, right now you would have Iran with a nuclear weapon. And if they had a nuclear weapon, you would be calling everybody over there, sir. And you don't want to do that. Well, you keep saying was. Is this war over? I think it's close to over. I mean, I view it as very close to over.

5:16You know what? If I pulled up stakes right now, it would take them 20 years to rebuild that country. And we're not finished. We'll see what happens. I think they want to make a deal very badly. Okay. So he has said, made this claim 12 times since the war began, that the war is almost over. The Iranians have been trolling the fuck out of him and the Americans on social media. And this guy is so easy to make fun of. He's so embarrassing. He has basically stopped the global economy with this stupid move to invade Iran. The Strait of Hormuz is completely locked up. Every person on the planet that was surrounding him that knew anything about anything told him, do not do this.

6:07But he listens to Benjamin Netanyahu more than he does United States taxpayers. And since he said this, this morning with Maria Bartiromo, this story has broken right here, pop this up. United States to deploy 10 ,000 additional troops to the Middle East. So he says the war is almost over, but we're deploying 10 ,000 troops. in the Washington Post reports the Pentagon is sending thousands of additional troops into the Middle East as the Trump administration attempts to pressure Iran into a deal that could end the weeks-long conflict there while considering the possibility of additional strikes or ground operations if a fragile ceasefire does not hold.

6:51I think we all know the ceasefire is not going to hold because Benjamin Netanyahu does not acknowledge ceasefires anywhere at any time. And that is our partner in this, like a complete genocidal, homicidal, fascist dictator, Benjamin Netanyahu. All right, moving along. This morning, Trump has been taking on a lot of fire from the MAGA base for posting himself as Jesus. And then when he did the DoorDash photo op, he said, oh, I thought it was a doctor. He's really not beating the dementia allegations at all. And so he woke up this morning and he posted a picture of himself cuddling with Jesus, basically claiming that he's God's chosen one.

7:40And the picture number one is insulting to me that his face is that photoshopped. I mean, they've completely photoshopped out the neck regime, but you know, whatevs. And so Irish for Trump posts this picture and says, I was never a very religious man. But doesn't it seem with all these satanic, demonic, child-sacrificing monsters being exposed, that God might be playing his trump card? That's a picture of Jesus and Trump cuddling. And then Trump re-lies this on lie social. And he says, The radical left lunatics might not like this, but I think it's quite nice. President DJT. So basically he's gone from saying he is God to he's God's chosen one.

8:25And I love how the guy on Truth Social says, I'm not religious, but all of these demons and Satan, just crazy, these people. All right. You know, TMZ has moved into Washington and they are now tackling politics. And one thing that I think is bipartisan, universal, unifying is browbeating the most unlikable, unfuckable person in Congress, which is Senator Rafael Cruz. And here is TMZ catching up with Lion Ted in the halls of Congress. Play the clip. It's good to see you, sir. I've got a question for you. Are you on the Pope's side or the president's side? You know what? I'm quite confident both the Pope and the president can speak to themselves.

9:12Well, I mean, they're going through a very public sort of beef right now and um you know they're both i understand you want to get me in the middle of that i trust both of them to express their own views do you think that like the president is doing the right thing by taking on i've given you my answer you can keep asking if you get the same answer right right did you like the tweet that he put out today like where he was like as i said i've given you my answer so every way you ask the question we're gonna get oh these are different questions sir So there's Ted and you know, Ted will not stand up to Donald Trump.

9:47Trump basically told the world that he thought Ted's wife, Heidi was ugly and Ted will not ever not be a suck up to Donald Trump. And here's what's horrible reporting that I've read about that Alito may retire and And Trump is floating, putting Ted into the Supreme Court position. And I kind of think Trump's thinking everybody hates him and everybody hates the Supreme Court. So let's just send Ted over there to do it, which we will never be done with this guy. It is a lifetime appointment. And then here's some great news about government working. So you know, in New York, you have Governor Kathy Hochul, who's probably a moderate Democrat.

10:31at. And then you have the mayor of New York City, Democratic Socialist, Zoran Mamdani. And consistently, you see these two working together to deliver for taxpayers. Consistently, you see these two forming alliances to deliver for the people of New York, child care, etc. So Kathy Hochul has decided that she's going to start taxing the uber wealthy, which is an incredibly popular position nationwide, not just in New York. Pop this up. Kathy Hochul tweets, if you can afford a multi-million dollar second home in New York City, you can afford to join its residents in supporting the greatest city in the world.

11:13She proposes a tax on New York City second homes that are worth$5 million. And then this, she tweets, New Yorkers show up for this city every day. Some of the wealthiest property owners and foreign oligarchs don't. It's time they start contributing like everyone else. And then she has a bunch of headlines about all of these billionaires living in New York, oligarchs living in New York. And she has such a great point here. The New Yorkers that live in New York every single day show up, pay their taxes. And then these rich people are able to move around that. And Zoran Mamdani has been elected to deliver for New Yorkers.

11:55He has been laser focused on this. He has been prodding the governor and she is compromised. And then Mayor Mamdani responds to all of this. And he says, we will be taxing the ultra wealthy and global elites. And I think it's really great that he used the language global elites because that's what they are. But it's also bigger than him just throwing that out there. If you think about Alex Jones and you think about the right wing media ecosystem, they're always like the globalists, the global elites, blah, blah, blah. They get around everything. They're controlling the world. And Zoran's like, you got a second home in Manhattan, you're paying taxes, MFR.

12:38And so this really shows the messaging there. In my opinion, this is just my take on it, that everybody needs to pay their fair share of taxes. This is a wildly popular policy and good on Kathy Hochul and good on Zoron for meeting and delivering for New Yorkers. I think that as we move into the midterms and future governing, I know that people on the far left don't want any compromise and people in the middle want to hate the far left. We are going to have to work together and compromise to deliver for people, to help voters realize this is what government is supposed to deliver for you. All right, that's all I have.
