In short
The hosts discuss Donald Trump’s alleged cognitive decline and what they call MAGA’s “excuses” for chaos, focusing on the reflecting pool vandalism/sabotage story. They claim Trump’s administration hired an inexperienced contractor (Green Water) for a $13M–$16M resurfacing job, leading to damage and arrests of five people. They argue Republicans and mainstream media enable Trump, and they cite GOP policy failures in states with long Republican control (Oklahoma, Alabama, Mississippi, West Virginia). They also mention Trump’s name being removed from the Kennedy Center facade and a Chicago proposal to rename a street near Trump Tower to “Barack Hussein Obama Drive.”

1:15All right, Donald Trump had like seven and a half hours of executive time yesterday, completely off camera. And obviously, we've all seen the cognitive decline. Well, he appears last night because he can't help himself for sundowner hours show and tell with a bunch of white pink arm sycophants that will not stand up for themselves for their country and actively participate in global elder abuse trump is spiraling because he hired an incompetent dipshit to resurface the reflecting pool somebody asked him about it last night and here's what he said. You know, we have a hundred and we have a, I think, two hundred ninety, three hundred foot slit right through it, probably a box cutter or a knife of some kind.
2:07Or we had people lifting up the basic some of the it's not a lot of damage, but it's we'll probably have to let the water out and refix it. They went in there with with a knife. I was just told by the by the people over parks they have five people are arrested yeah that's what happened a lot of people went in clandestinely with box cutters and uh sabotaged the really shitty job that the guy who did it kylie find the picture of this guy he uh uh the name of his resurfacing pool company is green water.
2:52Foreshadowing. Here's what I think about this whole reflecting pool thing. It is a microcosm of Trump, MAGA and Maha. You hire a buddy that I thought is fed up with AI, who has zero experience doing this. Like period can't be real. All right. So there he is pumps. And then I think he's like a criminal. Pop this up, Kylie. So here he is with his big cigar. But he pled guilty to federal conspiracy to commit bribery for bribing Representative James. uh traffiquant cooperated with prosecutors find 150 000 and placed on probation in 2010 pled guilty to campaign finance violations for making illegal donations to his daughter capri caferos congressional campaign both felony convictions and i thought maga was like opposed to like second chances for criminals like republicans in general right i i thought they What were you saying about the tie in about Maha and all of that?
3:55Yeah. Okay. So here's my Maha MAGA snippet in my mind. The reflecting pool is a perfect example. You have a guy that doesn't have any experience with this scale of project. He went in and put a pool liner in where I've read articles from people that are experts in maintaining koi ponds and all that. And they're like, this was completely wrong. Everything they did was wrong. The timing, the actions, the chemicals to clean it up. All wrong. So we've gotten rid of experts. So now we have algae. And then it's a complete fucking disaster because everything Trump touches is the disaster. And here he is blaming other people.
4:36And now they're arresting people because in cloaks of invisibility, they went in and magically vandalized this instead of just saying, we fucked up. We awarded a no bid contract to somebody with zero experience with this kind of project. We paid them$13 million. I've seen it reported up to 16. Nobody else with expertise could do it. And so now it looks like shit, but let's blame somebody else. Let's see who they do blame. Play the clip. Okay, ready? Barack Hussein Obama, have you ever heard of him? Yeah. He spent two years and over$100 million when trying to fix it. You know what happened to it?
5:18Never even opened. He took the water from the river. You know about that, right? It turned out to be putrid and it destroyed the whole thing. Yes, that's exactly what happened. A caravan of Obama and furries and trans people with machetes took putrid water with box cutters and ran around the country and sabotaged this moment for Donald Trump. The MAGA explanations are all puttering out now. They work for a while, while Joe Biden's economy was still holding to, they could be like, oh, trans people, Obama, immigrants. Well now you've got 18 months. You have Congress, you have the Supreme Court, you have the Senate, you got everything.
6:05If you don't like the way the country's being run right now, the only people you can blame are Republicans. These are Republican policies through and through. And if you want to know what they look like in long term, look at states like Oklahoma that have had a 20 year Republican supermajority. Look to Alabama, look to Mississippi, look to West Virginia. In fact, look at all the bottom 10 states. If the people in those states don't like the way their lives are or the services that government is providing for them, these are Republican policies. You have one political party to blame. So now as he's saying Barack Hussein Obama and all this other crazy dementia sundowner stuff, I feel like these excuses maybe work the first few months of a presidency.
6:54I feel like it just looks even more insane now as he does this. I completely agree with you. The only thing I'll add, and again, it's because I'm petty, is Chicago is trying to rename the street where Trump Tower is located to Barack Hussein Obama Drive. So it'll be Trump Tower, Barack Hussein Obama Drive. And that would make me so happy. I would love that so much. And I just want to point out that he and Caroline Levitt and people in MAGA always use the middle name of Barack Obama Hussein. as a means to stoke Islamophobia and xenophobia in the base that somehow he's not American. And then here is Caroline Levitt back from maternity leave.
7:46Doesn't miss a beat. Child birth and the miracle that God has given her this wonderful, wonderful child. You think maybe this will make her come back a better person. Nope. She's come back from maternity leave even worse, even the childbirth that they project onto everybody. I think it's Erica Kirk says, have more children than you can afford. The grooming child abusers in the MAGA movement, these women that want to groom other women to have children they can't afford, which will create a ground for these kids to be abused and neglected. She comes back from childbirth and And here she is on Fox.
8:29Doesn't miss a beat. Pool, where again, these deranged individuals, many of them longtime donors to the Democrat Party, to Barack Obama, to Act Blue, that have been vandalizing and desecrating our federal monument. One of the most beautiful monuments in the world, the reflecting pool. And I don't know that it's one of the most beautiful monuments. I mean, I mean, come on. I want to ask Caroline Levitt, when you were in the situation room covering up for pedophiles and men that trafficked little girls, i.e. your boss, how did that make you feel when you held your baby girl for the first time? Did you feel good about protecting pedophiles?
9:13And here's the thing. I don't feel like her maternity leave was long enough. I feel like it flew by. Yeah, I would think that for the Trad Wife Brigade, that they would want to take off a year or so, but they have to get right back in. Why? Because they have to gender wash. She has to go on to Fox News and be a racist and be a bigot. But to your larger point, does it bother her that she was helping cover up or heard the conversations where people were allegedly covering up? No, it doesn't bother her at all because these women that were abused were poor. And in MAGA circles, in MAGA Christian circles, they quantify the human experience.
9:59White men, optimal human experience. All of us have to cater to them. And then it goes down the list. So no, she doesn't care one bit about that. And here is Trump with like, I guess this is like when Tourette's meets dementia. Play the clip. All of you have actually Chris, right? Please. Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. So 120, 141 years ago, Albert Einstein, 121 years ago, Albert Einstein published a paper. Nobody cares. Good point. Good point. You know, see, this is it. This is the deathbed confession era. He can't, you know, he's thinking this stuff all the time. We're thinking that stuff. Everybody thinks that.
10:43And now with the dementia so advanced, he's so much less inhibited. That's why his bisexuality is breaking through. He's talking about how hot men are. And then this guy starts to grandstand a little bit and he just completely has to humiliate him. But what's so important in these moments, when we just we start with the pathological line that a cabal of Barack Hussein Obama supporters are running around with box cutters and avoiding all detection from all of the multiple cameras that are monitoring the reflection pool. All the pathological lying that Donald Trump does, all of these Republican men that want to lecture us on integrity, on decency, on decorum, on individual accountability, on limited government, they're all liars.
11:34MAGA are pathological, diabolical, nefarious liars, and they prove it every single day. I'm not at all surprised that Trump finally went to the office last night at 6 p.m. after eight hours of executive time, which I think he's just fluffed up in bed eating fast food, throwing the wrappers all over the room. He finally decided to go downstairs and get his posse of incompetent, at best, mediocre pink-armed white men to sit there and chuckle with him. And moving forward, all of this is an indictment on the Republican Party. They could end this. They could end it today. They could have ended it yesterday.
12:15Furthermore, that's just in the government. The Republicans, you know, in your personal life that allow this, but also want to lecture women and lecture gay people and lecture other people on how they need to behave. They have no credibility ever again, forever. And that is our job to make sure that anybody who voted for this man and continues to support this man never is allowed a modicum of credibility. This is why I think what CNN does is so dangerous by platforming the Scott Jennings. He is defending a pathological liar and putting that up against somebody who's a truth teller and observes things and reports what they observe is really making the electorate sick and dumb.
13:01Well, and to take it one step further, not only are they, you know, platforming to the way the media covers Trump is just unbelievable. They act like he's a normal president within holding all of his faculties, that he's surrounded by experts. He's none of those things. He gives a shit about his, you know, gold plated shit. He doesn't care Americans are dying, that they can't afford gas, that they're having to choose between food and prescriptions could give a shit. And you would think he was a normal person the way mainstream media covers him. Listener, have you felt stuck trying to lose weight?
13:37If you have, I just want you to know that you are not alone. We are so happy here to partner with Weight Loss by HERS.

It's established. It's a foregone conclusion he doesn't care about Americans. We need to say the people surrounding him and the Republican Party don't care about Americans because they're allowing him to do this.
15:26Because all of this could have been stopped today. Inevitably, by the time we finish filming this episode and the news cycle starts again tomorrow, he will do and say crazy shit. The Republican Party and the Republican voters, the people who still support him, don't care about life, don't care about the country. And we have to quit letting them off the hook. The Scott Jennings of the world, they need to be shipped to the lower than bottom feeding spaces because they cannot have any credibility with the pathological lying and covering up for this shit when these were the people that were stage five freak out over Joe Biden.
16:12And then finally, here is a photo of Trump's name removed from the Kennedy Center. It finally happened. There it is. New photos show President Trump's name is indeed off the Kennedy Center's facade. The images were taken last week inside the tarp covered scaffolding that has hidden the title of the venue for nine days since Cruz removed Trump's name. And this to me, like the reflecting pool pumps is a metaphor for the MAGA movement. No accountability. A federal judge checked him on this more than Senator Thune, more than little Moses Mike grinder, more than Republican voters, more than Susan Collins, more than Lindsey Graham, all of these sanctimonious, I believe Ted Cruz, that we are a Christian godly nation.
17:06And I believe in personal accountability and limited government there. It's all fake. All of it is bullshit. His name is removed, but his ego is so fragile. They still have to cover it up. And whoever the hero is that took a picture of that, I applaud you. You know, here's the thing. This is how Trump is defeated. Just fucking take it to him. Take it to him. Move his stuff. You know, all these fucking, I still am not over what we heard yesterday about Gavin Newsom saying, well, we repurposed some stuff. No. If Trump's name's on it, if there's a picture of Trump somewhere, if he's got his little knickknack, fuck no.
17:48All of this shit needs to come down because it symbolizes the American people are taking their country back. The American people are patriots because they believe in a democracy more than this fucking dumbass. I completely agree. But let's keep putting pressure on the Republicans that allow him to do this. Richard Nixon was checked and he was impeached or he resigned before he was impeached because they checked him. So Fox News, all of the members of Congress, all of the members of the Senate House, et cetera, the Supreme Court, they refuse to check him because as alarming as Trump's behavior is, they believe the exact same things without dementia, without the personality disorder.
18:36And so that's really an indictment on the Republican Party. That's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with more news. Thank you.
