In short
The hosts argue Trump is insulated in a “gold bubble” of flattery, loses control as tensions escalate (including Iran/Strait of Hormuz references), and is enabled by submissive insiders who capitulate to his branding and self-interest.
Guests
None. The episode is a two-host discussion (names mentioned: Natalie Harp, Caitlin Collins, Howard Lutnik, Scott Jennings, Marco Rubio, Jeff Bezos, Susan Collins, Janine Pirro, Barry Weiss).
Key claims
Trump’s “respected again” narrative is delusional; elites rename places (e.g., “Trump Strait,” “Gulf of America”) to appease him; tech companies changed maps for US users under pressure; gold Oval Office phone reflects corruption-for-favors patterns; data-center water use is ignored while oligarchs profit; Susan Collins is portrayed as a dangerous “moderate” who enabled Kavanaugh and Roe’s overturning.
Notable examples
“Trump Strait” map relabeling; Google/Apple vs MapQuest behavior; gold Resolute desk phone; data-center water figures (264B gallons in 2025); Oklahoma El Reno water leak; Susan Collins/Kavanaugh/Roe; Janine Pirro criticizing “not impressed.”

0:34All right. Donald Trump thinks the country is respected again because he lives in a little bubble, a gold bubble, a la Marie Antoinette style, wherein he has a bunch of males that masquerade as submissive trad wives that just clap like fucking seals to every stupid thing he says. Play the clip. Our country is respected again. We're respected like never before. I go to meetings and everyone stands up for our last president. They didn't care about him. They didn't care. They laughed at him. But our country is respected again. And when President Xi comes in two weeks, he respects America now. He didn't respect us.
1:14He laughed at us. He thought we were a bunch of fools. Yeah. I mean, talk about delusional. I just have to be reminded that you have the world, like Canada, for example, in this last week, Trump's memeing all this shit and basically Carney just shoots back and says, you know, the meme culture, you know, we're just ignoring that. The United States is universally viewed globally as being run by the most corrupt dipshit in history. And to say, you know, they go to these forums that everybody's like, what are you doing in Iran? What are you doing with the Strait of Hormuz? Like everyone has these questions and we have a leader that has no answer, surrounded by people that stand up and clap.
2:07Therefore, he thinks he's so respected. And it really is a tell about how insulated he is with his little bubble and Natalie Harp that's printing how great he is all the time, that he is absolutely devoid from reality. Yeah, and he created this world as a response from Trump 1.0. The people that were in his cabinet in Trump 1.0 wouldn't debase themselves the way these people are. So that is a message to an indictment on the American electorate that all of these people that worked in Trump 1.0 that are Republicans, that are neocons, that are Constitution, America first type guys. And I disagreed with so much of the neocon, everything actually about the neocon Republican movement.
2:56But they all came out afterwards on 60 Minutes before Barry Weiss took it over and wrote books about how incompetent, how fascistic, how depraved this man was. And the American electorate refused, refused to listen to them. And Trump, you know, intuitively said, I'm never going to have those people around me again, ever. I will make sure I have the most obsequious, submissive pussies this country can offer that stand and clap like seals to me. And nobody, nobody in his orbit will tell him shit like this is a bad idea. Instead, they post it on the internet. Pop this up. So the White House posts, it's got a nice ring to it.
3:43And it's a map of the Strait of Hormuz. And they have relabeled it the Trump Strait. And he says, now that we have it under USA control, should we change the name Hormuz straight to Trump straight? Like America itself, it would be hotter than ever before. Thank you for your attention to this matter. No question, this has the thumbprints of the bunny boiler all over it. But furthermore, I say, let's see how far we can take this. Why stop there? Why don't you rename Florida the Peninsula of Dumb and Dumber in honor of your sons, Eric and Don Jr.? I mean, why stop? Let's just continue. Let's see how far you can take this because this probably hits hard with the crowd that listens to Joe Rogan and their whole identity is your assassination photo that's in their profile.
4:43Nobody else even thinks this matters. It's stupid. Well, it's a distraction. But what I found interesting when he starts talking about renaming everything, remember the Gulf of Mexico is now the Gulf of America. Lake Ontario is now the Lake of America. What I found interesting is Google and Apple changed it in the map for their US users, but they didn't change it for anybody else. MapQuest refused to make these name changes. And now their subscription level is at an all time high. So that tells me that even these people that are caving to him and going in on all this crazy bullshit, they know it's ridiculous.
5:26And it's like putting a pacifier in his mouth. OK, we'll do it for the people in the United States. But globally, it's a fucking idiotic, stupid move when we're talking about wars and people dying and war crimes that we're going to change the name of stuff. Like, it's that easy. So get this. you know why they changed it because the humiliation ritual continues he called right and he called google and he said you better change it in your apps and instead of saying sir we're not going to do that they did it immediately they had a choice to either stand up and start building a resistance to this or capitulate like all of the submissive men surrounding trump and they immediately capitulated.
6:11And why is that? Because they want something very unprincipled out of him. They want something that other principled politicians wouldn't give them. And that's the through line between all of these people that suck up to Trump or surround Trump. They are wholly unprincipled bottom feeders masquerading as tough guys. And a lot of these guys think that they're worth, like their worth on the inside, not their net worth, but they think their net worth defines them that, oh, I have a big net worth. Therefore, everybody respects me. And as their wealth and their moral depravity is on display, the absolute opposite is happening.
6:55So they just are like a truck spinning tires in the mud. Trump calls them up. He's like, watch this. I'm going to call that Tim Apple and tell him to change it. You know, he probably had 10 Howard nut looks probably over there laughing at me slapping. Marco Rubio is probably over there going, you know, it's just it's just it's so I'm so embarrassed and bear all of these people. Okay. So moving along, Trump has found a new piece of the Oval Office to add gold to pop this up. Caitlin Collins is tweeting President Trump has a new phone on the Resolute desk, which was captured by pooler Peter Ducey inside the Oval Office today.
7:38So here's my question about the phone pumps. Did he design it? Or did some submissive wife that wanted to curry favor with the president that owns a phone company say, I've got a great idea. Yeah. Here's what we'll do. We'll make him a big gold superhero phone. And we'll put a bunch of gold on it, the presidential seal, and we'll put in cursive Donald Trump, because that's all it takes. And that is a weakness, a complete weakness in a human being that you just completely fold like a cheap suit when somebody comes and piles on superficial praise, flattery, or some bullshit phone. And that's all it takes for this guy.
8:22Like we're in war with Iran, fighting with all these people and all the people surrounding him are just, just as, just as cheap. They all fold immediately as well. And the phone's cheap. I didn't think that there was another spot to put gold in the Oval Office, but I agree with you completely. This is, this phone company or whoever gave it to him has, you know, needs a pardon or needs tariffs to be exempted or some kind of, Because you look at the pattern of Donald Trump since day one. It's, okay, give me a gift. I'll exempt you from the tariff. You need a pardon. Pay me. I'll exempt you from, I mean, I'll pardon you.
9:02So this is just a huge pattern. So it only stands to reason as the pattern and practice continues that whoever did this phone that he just was like, oh my gosh, we're so respected again. Somebody gave me a gold plated phone. that now it's like, oh, you scammed 5 billion people out of something. No worries. And you know what? Here's your pardon. Don't pay restitution. Let those fucks have to deal with it. I mean, that's kind of how he thinks, in my opinion. I completely agree. And just building to the case that he is surrounded by the biggest group of submissive men on the planet, Howard Ludnik is lying, straight up lying about data centers.
9:42Play the clip. Favorite things is when people talk about data centers using water. The number one product in America that uses water is cattle. Cattle. So hilarious. Data centers, this is propaganda by our adversaries to try to slow us down, right? We've got. in 2025 alone data centers in the u.s used at least 264 billion gallons of water it's pretty rich that he's sitting there talking about propaganda when he is a chief propagandist trump penis fluffer only to be rivaled by scott jennings and scott jennings you know he doesn't have the net worth that howard lutnik has and he's trying to get in there so he's like god i I got to get on this grift, this insider trading.
10:30He wants, you know, in the epicenter of it. Howard Ludnick is just a piece of shit for sport. I mean, just for absolutely sport. Yeah. You know what? Here's the deal on the data centers. It's universally, I think I read something that like 80 % of Americans have pause about data centers. They're concerned about it. But Trump, instead of saying, okay, let's get some policy on this. Let's get some data. He's like, they're backwards, immediately going for the billionaires. But I know in Oklahoma, in El Reno, which is just outside Oklahoma, they had a water leak, three million gallons of water gone.
11:09They had to close schools. They had to close county offices. This is in the last week because they didn't have water. And it's just this continues to be a thing. So to sit there and deny reality that's going to touch every American ultimately. And you have, you know, Jeff Bezos. well, I mean, humans are the waste of water kind of stuff. I can't remember the exact quote, but Oh yeah. You see that this, it's, it's data centers are now the priority for this oligarchy and Donald Trump, because he's making money. And this is not about improving the lives of humans and helping people do better in their lives.
11:50This is about enriching the AI oligarchy. This is about rich enriching people that own stock in data centers. And you know, if kids can't go to school because of water, who cares? We want them stupid anyway. So it's just, it's just interesting how this is all shaking out. Yeah. And I think the more they keep pushing this stuff, there's a lot of bipartisan support against this stuff. And there's a lot of bipartisan support against politicians taking money from these places. And I just want us to keep platforming the fact that that there are two political parties in this country, sadly. Sadly, there aren't more, but that's how it operates.
12:29And there's one political party that actually has a sect of it that is people first, that is America first, that is the American worker first. And that's the progressive democratic side of the party. Are there people in the party that are corporations first? 100%. And as a member of the Democratic Party, I wanna say I'm not in a cult and I'm gonna criticize them because we deserve better. We deserve better politicians than those that prostitute themselves out to these evil corporations that find every loophole in America, literally, to not pay taxes, to pollute our waters, to buy and install Supreme Court justices, to buy and install a president and vice president.
13:12And on the progressive Democratic side, there are actual candidates that are people powered first that are literally America first. And we just need to keep pushing that because within the party right now, organizations like Third Way and a lot of the corporate democratic establishment are laser focused on a Twitch streamer instead of focusing on the enemies at bay, which are these huge corporations that want to suck the American worker dry. And after they've done that, then they're coming for your wages. They want robots to replace your jobs because they feel like they don't have enough money and they want your wages.
13:56And Susan Collins has been the biggest fascist collaborator for her entire career. She is a person that likes to talk the talk about being a moderate, but she is nothing like that. She's not even close to being a moderate. She is a MAGA thumper to her core. And here she is asked if she'd consider running for a seventh term if reelected. The age issue comes off with your candidacy, too. I assume this will be your last term if you ran. Never say never in politics, but, you know, I'm concentrating on this race right now. And that's what I'm concentrating on.
14:43I really can't stand this woman. I can't either. And here's the thing is, she's one of those politicians that you see all the time. She talks a bit, well, Donald Trump's learned his lesson. And Brett Kavanaugh said that it was set a law. So she hides behind little words, but how she votes, like her actions and her words do not match. And there's so many politicians that do this. she's just not as bombastic as a, you know, a Lauren Boebert or Nancy Mace, but she's every bit as dangerous because she does kind of fly under the radar a little bit with her words and actions completely being opposite.
15:23Yeah, I think she is an absolute disgrace. I think she is a walking, talking, breathing example of the worst type of politician that there is. I think that she is an anti-woman woman. She is a sexual abuser apologist. She voted for Brett Kavanaugh when there was a lot of evidence. And now we know the FBI hid a lot of other claims of sexual assault by sitting Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who then gave the decisive vote that overturned Roe v. Wade. And now in America, the Republican Party, MAGA Republicans. And if your daughter or somebody you love gets raped, they vote for that rapist to have more rights than the rape victim.
16:06And that is her legacy. That should be on her tombstone. Mainstream media should harp on that until the cows come home. But instead, they want to talk about stupid shit that doesn't matter. But the way Susan Collins votes has real life consequences. She has damaged the country immensely by not having a spine ever, ever. She never does. And then, of course, I'm going to show you a video of shit that MAGA has been doing that absolutely nobody asked for. But yet they continue to keep putting this shit out. Unfortunately, this is a trigger warning. This is Janine Pirro, the former Fox News propagandist and now MAGA thumper.
16:52Just play the clip.
17:09what
17:14no i'm not i'm absolutely not impressed absolutely positive why are they all doing this is this just all that maha shit you know i don't know because i don't think they're really i don't even though they're out there, certain ones, y 'all ha, woohoo, ma ha. I don't think they really are into it. I think they're just in it for the clicks. Janine Pirro is the sitting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. In her district, we have had more grand juries not indict, more motions to dismiss granted than I have seen in what used to be a very well-respected federal district court. And this woman is running around in her workout clothes, wanting to know if we're impressed.
18:05Janine, what I would be impressed about is if you ran your office like it was a true justice seeking office. What I would like is for you not to have your lips plastered on Donald Trump's ass every minute and go out and actually prosecute people that are committing fraud in your district, which again 1600 pennsylvania avenue start there that's your first clue but janine nobody is there no dignity left i mean i know that like shut the fuck up angie we're so far past not having any dignity it's gone it's gone it's gone especially anybody who would go work for them fair anybody who saw and has just 10 of the picture of who donald trump showed us who he was not even 100%, just 10%, and then decided I'm going to go work for him is fundamentally a more broken person than Donald Trump is, in my opinion.
19:04The people who work for him are more broken than he is. And that bar is depths of hell low. And these people are even lower than that, which makes them bottom feeding prostitutes for sport. They are doing this for sport. All right. That is all we have. Like, subscribe, comment, and we'll be back later with more news.
