Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04All right, Kansas Health is in a complete death spiral. There's just no other way to put it. But yesterday, he put on three press conferences in the Oval. And I think, you guys, this is what I think is happening. He is so demented that he's like, let's do a press conference. And so they call the press pool and they get them all together. And everybody goes, sits down, and he talks about people leaving the garage doors open in Beverly Hills, people keeping their trunks open in Beverly Hills, because people are just like, you're going to take it anyway. Just come take all my stuff. All of this is lies.
0:36He lies nonstop. The press doesn't cover it. And so they just keep running in to cover all of these lies. And here's what comes out of this. So Philip Wegman says Trump is calling the press pull into the Oval Office for a third time today. Never seen this before. Kara Lyon, KKK-Levitt says, President Trump is the most transparent and accessible president in American history. They're having to cover up for him because I don't think he remembers that he did the first press conference. And I don't think he remembers that he did the second press conference. And I don't think he remembers that he did the third press conference because that's how advanced the dementia is, the cognitive decline.
1:22This is before I even get to the muffin top cankles, which is why we call them kanks and these bruises all over his hands. Well, I think the bruises all over his hands. I think that maybe because he didn't know he was going to have the press conference, he didn't have time to put the horrible makeup on it because it was marked. I mean, it was a bit he looked like he was like it was almost rotten. There were like sores in it. Well, let me show you this. OK, OK. Here's Queen Elizabeth II's hand a few days before she died. and you can see the closeup and it has a bruise. And this is, you know, she's up walking around and a few days later, she's dead.
1:59All right, now let's put up Kanks' hand. Here's Kanks' hand in the Oval Office yesterday when he mistakenly does three press conferences in a row, crammed with all of his cabinet behind him, doting on, looking at him, nodding their heads. And I can't help but think that there's something really insidious going on, that they keep telling him, oh, you're in charge, big guy. Let's go do another press conference. Sure, keep going, because I think Stephen Miller and others, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, have massive plans, because you're seeing an authoritarian ramp up right now. You have them talking about taking over American cities.
2:43Nobody shit talks this country as much as MAGA does. If he were just remotely as hard on Russia or Benjamin Netanyahu as he is on blue state governors, which are American cities, which are the economic hubs of our country, then we might still have a country. But everything that he says, he telegraphs. We don't have a country anymore. Why does he say that stuff? Because he doesn't want us to have the country the way we've had it before. But I think he's mentally off a cliff. The comparison between the queen's hand and his hand. And then I think about what crazy ass Alex Jones says, 12 months, I think that might be too long.
3:22Well, I'm wondering two things. What are your thoughts? I was thinking about this because his health seems to be so frail physically. We know he's off the wall dementia, but his health is so frail. Do you think they've put an accelerated timeline on this authoritarian takeover? There's no question. Because of his health? Yeah, that's what I want to talk to you about. So let's play the tape through hypothetically here. So let's say Kanks drops dead. All right. And then you've got J.D. Vance. And my question regarding this is, are they getting all of these cities and militarizing so that they can have this authoritarian takeover?
4:06Because Vance doesn't have the Riz. And at that point, do members of Congress, Republicans, because they see that he doesn't have the riz to keep the cult together, do they start checking the executive branch? Do they do that? I don't know. I don't know that they – I know that these people are ambitious. I know that they're evil, but I don't know that they think through everything as well as they think they do. My thought would be that because J.D. Vance has been so underhanded with Trump while he's been in office, that there's an argument to be made that MAGA, who are the king and queens of conspiracies, will then start saying, you know, because right now everybody can actually see the kind of soft coup going on.
4:58Will they turn, will MAGA turn against J.D. Vance, not recognizing how poor his health is? Well, there's no question when he drops dead, if he's in office when he does, there will be conspiracy theories that J.D. Vance had something to do with it or that when he was in the back of the beast with Vladimir Putin, Vladimir put some long acting handshake. Like, because, you know, if you think about it, if I were a conspiracy theorist, I could go down this rabbit hole that all of these bruises and all of this stuff started popping up after Alaska. Did Vladimir Putin do something to him? He's notorious for poisoning people.
5:36So I don't know, but I know that I know that MAGA will do that. But I mean, when I think about his physical decline on top of his mental decline, and then I turned on Legacy News this morning, and it is just like they're covering these batshit press conferences. Like, President signs executive order for this. There's no mention of him lying. There's no mention of the bruises on his hand. There's no mention of him militarizing the cities, trash-talking Americans. There's no mention of any of that. which then I want to take you to look at these photos right here. Pop this up. Look at his eyes. Look at his hand.
6:16Look at how puffy and swollen his eyes are. And this is on top of when you hear video of him. He sounds like he has marbles in his mouth and he has no idea what on earth he is talking about. Okay, so then while he's doing these three press conferences, pumps. Somebody in the press pool asks him about an Israeli airstrike wherein they bombed a hospital and killed 20 people and five journalists, an attack on the free press. And you would think the president of the United States would be briefed on this, would immediately, you know, have advisors surrounding him where they could talk about this. And here's how he answers the question.
7:01Get your reaction, sir. The Israelis bombed a hospital in Gaza that killed 20 people including five journalists. When did this happen? This happened overnight, today. I didn't know. Any reaction to this? I don't want to see it. At the same time, we have to end that whole nightmare. I'm the one that got the hostages out. I got them out. All of them. Steve Wyckoff is - He had no idea that this happened. Number one, the press just informed him of it. It's his fucking job to know about this shit because we probably paid for the bombs that did that. And then he just sits there and lies and says he, Kanks, got all of the hostages out, all of them, which is all of this is completely goes on fact checked.
7:46Is it not alarming to the media at large that the president of the United States has no idea that Benjamin Netanyahu is continuing to bomb hospitals and kill journalists? And he finds out during one of his three press conferences slash show and tell slash arts and crafts hour at the Oval period. I have two questions about this. I could go either way. They told him and he's completely forgotten about it and or they haven't told him because they know he's incapable of making any decisions and they just make the decision. Both scenarios are profoundly disturbing. But here's the thing. He says the same thing about Russia.
8:29Well, I'm not happy about it. OK, we'll do something about it. Do something about Vladimir Putin. Do something about Benjamin Netanyahu. He's incapable. Nothing. But I want to point this out regarding his looks. I feel like his orange has turned kind of a yellowy color. And I've noticed with older people, when they're really sick, they kind of have a gray pallor. Put the orange on top, and that's kind of the color I'm seeing. Like, it's bad. You never know with like filters with cameras and media and all of that. But he definitely, I mean, the bruising, the cankles, the swollen eyes, the three press conferences in a row like a psychopath.
9:09And then he does not know these major geopolitical things that are happening with our taxpayer dollars. And somebody in the press pool, which they've cherry picked sycophants to be in there, asked him about it. And then he lies and says, I released the hostages. I released all of them, which is a complete lie. And so when I turned on the news this morning, stupidly, I thought maybe the chyron might say Trump lies and says he released all the Israeli hostages. has no clue that Benjamin Netanyahu is bombing hospitals and killing journalists. This is a massive story. This is something Jake Tapper wrote an entire book about.
9:55And Joe Biden knew what was going on in terms of this and furthermore was surrounded by competent people. Now, Joe Biden's stance on Israel I didn't completely agree with. But the fact that he doesn't know this tells you that this MF-er is the easiest guy to dog walk on the planet. Netanyahu's dog walking him and has told people in his administration to either keep it from him or we all know from Trump 1.0, he's wildly uninterested in policy. He finds these meetings very boring that oftentimes during Trump 1.0, the people who got out of it said that he was just sitting on Twitter the whole time.
10:32It was not interested in foreign policy at all, which brings me to the issue regarding Russia and Ukraine. So he's asked this question in one of his three press conferences yesterday in the Oval. Play the clip. Historic summit here with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, European leaders, all met here with you at the White House. You said you wanted to get this done bilateral as soon as possible. Have you spoken to Putin since last Monday? Yeah, I have. What is your conversation? Every conversation I have with him is a good conversation. And then, unfortunately, Originally, a bomb is loaded up into Kiev or someplace, and then I'd get very angry about it.
11:14I think we're going to get the war done. It's tough. I thought that would be, of the seven that I settled, I thought that would be the easiest of the group. See? You never know what's going to happen. Okay. Here's the problem with this, you guys. I'm not only lying about solving all these wars. He's incapable of deducing that Putin is manipulating him. But despite CIA and massive military intelligence that has done psychological profiles that Putin is a former KGB agent, he is a dictator, he is a war criminal, he is absolutely going to know how to play you. But he says with a straight face, I don't get it.
11:52You know, I'm talking to him on the phone and he's super nice and we get along great. And then the next thing I know, he's bombing Kiev. And the fact that nobody around him or that he doesn't realize that we are getting played by Russia because he's so stupid and because he falls prey to superficial flattery so easily tells me that the people behind the scenes running this government, because it's not this guy. Not this guy with that hand, with those kinks, with those bloodshot eyes, talking about people leaving the garage doors open in Beverly Hills and claiming that he released all of the hostages that Hamas has.
12:34He just said that. Nobody's checking that. And he thinks Putin's his friend. This is just an absolute catastrophic nightmare. It's a catastrophic nightmare because people are dying as a result of the poor leadership in the United States. It's not only in concentration camps. I keep hearing about the death and ICE custody going up. But we have Ukrainians dying. We have Gaza's dying. This man doesn't give a shit. Well, and we have to point out the United States sent and probably paid for those bombs. They bombed that hospital and killed those journalists. And so when I hear Democrats that take AIPAC money talk about attacks on journalists and all of these things that happen in Russia or in the United States, you have zero credibility.
13:23Zero, zero, zero credibility if you're not calling out Benjamin Yahoo. And in fact, they all took photos with him when he was in the United States a couple of months ago. So it's just I don't I don't know who's going to save us, pumps, but I don't have a lot of faith in the Democrats. That's a sure as fuck don't have a lot of any faith whatsoever in kinks because they want to completely rip up the Constitution and go full blown Kim Jong-un. But all of this stuff just gets more and more terrifying by the day. And the media is 100 percent complicit in this massive, massive cover up. All right. That's all we have.
