In short

The episode argues that mainstream media underreports Donald Trump’s alleged cognitive decline, claiming he has dementia and is “one foot in the grave.” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is cited for saying Trump’s word choice and sentence structure show he “genuinely” has something wrong, and for calling for CNN to address it with doctors. The hosts also claim Iran and other world leaders know, and reference Bibi Netanyahu and AOC as political figures they say are more willing to speak openly. They contrast AOC’s communication and connection to working people with Texas Rep. Troy Nehls, alleging ethics violations (using campaign funds for rent/lobster; refusing Office of Congressional Ethics cooperation). They mock Trump’s “affordability” claims at a planned Dallas midterm convention, citing alleged false proposals (no tax on tips/overtime/social security) and contrasting with cuts to Medicare/Social Security and increased defense spending. Notable examples include Trump’s “affordability” rhetoric, Nehls’ lobster/ribeye comments, and a Colorado Democratic Socialist primary win by Milot Kuros over Diana DeGette. Guests mentioned: J.B. Pritzker, AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), Bibi Netanyahu, and Troy Nehls; no additional guest speakers appear.

0:04We're not hearing what we should be hearing every day from the mainstream media. Trump is one foot in the grave. This is the weekend at Bernie's Presidents. And so few Democrats are coming out and talking about the cognitive decline of this president. But we have one that continues to do it in a spectacular fashion. Here is Governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker. The president has dementia. I do. I do. I think if you look at any of the videos from from 2015 or 2016 and look at how he responded to questions and how he was at press conferences and then you fast forward and look at him now, I really think that there's something genuinely wrong with him.

0:46I'm not a doctor. I haven't diagnosed anything. I'm just suggesting to you that just look at the way he puts words and sentences together and thoughts, and they're almost divergent in the same sentences. Almost divergent. He contradicts himself every time he opens his mouth and he makes no sense. I just want to say, like, thank you. This is literally, like you said, what you should be hearing every single day, not just from possible presidential candidates and governors, but I want to hear the Caitlin Collins. I want to hear CNN anchors talking about this, having doctors on if they need to. But I mean, Iran knows it.

1:26Yeah. All these other countries, these world leaders know it. We are gas lit in America on this issue. So we need to be saying this out loud more. No, I completely agree. And we know who knows it more than anyone, Bibi Netanyahu, i.e. look at the disaster going on in the Strait of Hormuz in Iran. Okay, and then AOC, who we love, she's a queen, always a fighter. She disses J.D. Vance, and this is so good. J.D. Vance just said in an interview that she thinks you are going to be the leading Democratic candidate for president in 2020. i mean um you know uh i hope he is that's what i'll say i love her i feel like this is the clearest sign yet that yeah she might be running i mean i'm all for it if honestly when i think about the possible 2028 nominees she's the one that i'm most excited about.

2:30I think she's such a good communicator. She can speak on an array of policy areas. She connects to young people. She's hot. She's hot. Yeah. And she, you know, she kind of is one of the people who started this movement, the progressive movement, you know, that has been growing so much as we've seen in these recent elections. Well, and she's also never lost touch with blue collar Americans, low income American, middle class American. She's not fighting for billionaires and the oligarchy. And so let's contrast Representative AOC and Representative Troy Niels out of Texas. I mean, this guy is exactly what you think of when you think of pink arm, below average mediocrity, at its finest.

3:26Here is the great state of Texas's best foot forward in Congress. Real quick, how do House Republicans make the case that you're fighting for affordability when you go back to your districts? Affordability? What are you talking about? I'm going to go to tomorrow. I'm going to, well, over the fourth. I'm going to get me a couple of big lobster tails. I'm going to get me some nice ribeyes. I'm going to sit in my backyard with my family, my neighbors, and we're going to be enjoying the fourth, celebrating 250 years, the birthday. We're going to be celebrating the greatest president in my lifetime, Donald J.

4:01Trump. This is the shit, like let them eat cake in the 1700s that had the people revolting. Tell us about Troy Neils. What kind of guy is he? Yeah, I've heard his name recently. what he so he actually was investigated by the office of congressional ethics uh over allegations that he used tens of thousands of dollars from campaign funds to pay himself rent to buy lobster as well to buy lobster as well then that makes him the perfect trumper it does make him the perfect And not only that, but he refused to comply with the investigation. And his reasoning was that the Office of Congressional Ethics, quote, was created under Nancy Pelosi, which is why I refused to cooperate.

4:59I'm not sure that that's the actual reason why you're refusing to cooperate. And if you will believe it, the clip, if we fast forward a little bit, it does get worse. Okay, let's play it. Do you think the 60 % of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck can afford lobster tails and ribeyes and all of that? Maybe not. Maybe the 60 % of America don't work as hard as I do either. I mean, I don't know. Okay, first of all, they don't work as hard as you do. Mike Johnson shuts down Congress more than any speaker in my lifetime. They let work less than one third of a year work as hard as you do.

5:35How hard is it to put your lips on Trump's ass? Every time I think about Austin and Houston and these big blue cities, I think they have to co-mingle and coexist with these dipshits. And then anytime I want to give Texans like a break, like Tallarico and Paxton, they're running neck and neck. Houston, the city of Houston continues to elect Ted Cruz. The only thing people in politics can agree on is that he is a deplorable human. But this Troy Neal, this is what's wrong with United States politicians. They don't give a fuck about their constituents. It is no longer a divine idea to go and work for others, making other people's lives better.

6:21They don't give a shit. He's worried about stuffing his fat ass with lobsters. I mean, it's so gross. And here's the thing. He blends right in. This is like the classic Republican talking point. if you're poor, it's because you're lazy. Right. So like, according to him, like nurses, single moms with two jobs, healthcare workers, teachers, they're all, they just don't work as hard as Troy Nels. That's the issue. Less than one third of the calendar year. It's so gross. And speaking of so gross, we would not, we would be remiss if we did not show you the latest from President Trump and his lover, Top lover muffin.

7:07I've seen online where they're calling this Natalie Harp his hospice care worker. Yeah. You can't deny he needs one. All right. So pop this up, Kylie. The pertinent part is Trump says he is going to have a midterm convention in Dallas to laud himself and praise himself about the affordability. Here's what he's done for affordability, which didn't he just say that was a made up word? So here's what his agenda is at this transformative midterm election or midterm convention. No tax on tips. That's temporary. No tax on overtime. That does not exist. No tax on social security. That does not exist.

7:51Stronger borders. People quit coming over. I don't know how strong the borders are. safe safest ever communities that's a lie because american citizens are being shot down by their own government lower costs and real affordability are you kidding me are you kidding me everybody with eyeballs and a car and who buys growth who eats knows that that is a lie more jobs the weakest job market in recent history keep going kylie i'm not i'm just getting started American energy dominance. Is he kidding? Iran has the U.S. by the balls because of the straight of her moves. Here's the deal. We heard prior to the war in Iran that Trump was going to go around the country and he was going to rally people for the midterms on his affordability and economic message.

8:42I say good. Go out there and tell people with Troy Nils in Texas how great it is to have lobster while people are eating ramen noodles and not able to pick up their prescriptions. This just shows the gaslighting and the abuse he heaps on the American people. And I guarantee you in rural Oklahoma right now, there's somebody driving up to the gas tank that's counting out pennies to pay for gas. That's like, I love our president. He's a patriot and it's not more affordable here, but I'm sure he said it was more affordable. So it must be more affordable somewhere. The lies that keep coming out of this man really would be staggering if we weren't so immune to it.

9:25I think this is a great idea for them to have a midterm convention. I don't think there's anything better for the Democrats than to put on display what Trump has done for his first two years in office about. We just know that Trump is completely unable to say on message it's not going to focus on any of these things partly because many of them didn't happen it will be focused on his latest grievance yeah you know what he's thinking about at any given time um obama obama the ballroom the ballroom uh he's he's apparently developing a new golf course. So let's focus on these things. Criminal algae.

11:39And here's the deal. Please do not talk to me about affordability. When Mike Johnson's already said they want to cut Medicare and Social Security, yet they want to fund the Donald Trump wants$1.6 trillion more for the Department of Defense. Russell Vogt, who's the brainchild of the Project 2025, testified that he is just fine with spending$1.25 billion to rename the Department of Defense, the Department of War. And here's the deal. Pete Hegg says should be embarrassed because he has been bent over and shown to be the incompetent dickhead that we all knew he was with this war in Iran. So branding, projects, gold statues, all that shit, that's where the affordability, that's Trump's idea of affordability.

12:37And just on a real high note, not just in New York are Democratic Socialists winning primaries. We saw out of Colorado last night, 29-year-old Democratic Socialist Milot Kuros will defeat 15-term incumbent rep Diana DeGette in the Democratic primary for Colorado One. Kuros, a first-time candidate and former attorney, dominated the Denver Assembly and tapped into anti-incumbent sentiment. Kuros was born four months after Degate first took office. Good for her. Good for Dems that sit around and want better and want to do things differently. So I was happy to hear this. It's not just in New York City.

13:24I think this is a big flashing neon sign to all the sitting Democrats and politicians that feel really comfortable in their seat. This is a warning for you guys. Like there is a movement happening. Props to her. We're the same age and she's doing a lot bigger and better things tonight. You're sitting behind a screen right here. but H.E.W. Jeffries is going to have you know he's going to have to work with these people so you know I really do hope that the Democrats take back the House and the Senate but they are going to have to learn to cooperate and coexist with one another and I don't think that's going to be the easiest task in the world as Jennifer says all the time when you take the same money as MAGA Republicans from donors, you are controlled opposition.

14:18And what we're seeing is the American people have a real hunger for true opposition. And that is what we're going to do here at IHIP. We are going to stay the course. We are going to stay resisting. Please like this video and subscribe to our channel. And we will be back with more news.
