In short

The episode argues that Donald Trump is experiencing a serious hidden medical decline and that the White House is covering it up. The host claims Trump made an unplanned trip from Mar-a-Lago to a local dentist, but argues it was actually a medical emergency (possibly mini-strokes) rather than dental care, noting Trump has not released a routine physical. Key claims include: public concern is rising (55% of Americans say he isn’t physically fit, up from 28% in May 2023); Trump’s cognitive issues are shown by his frequent discussion of cognitive tests and embarrassing answers (e.g., identifying a bear in an animal test); and Trump’s focus on vanity projects like a White House ballroom reflects disdain for working Americans. Notable examples cited: Trump’s “bear” clip, his ballroom remarks, and an ABC/Ipsos poll showing Americans reject the ballroom 2-to-1.

0:28Mom, can you tell me a story? why have I asked my HVAC guy I found on Angie.com to change my grandpa's trachea tube because I was so amazed by how quickly he replaced our air ducts I knew I could trust him to change pop-pop's tube while I was on vacation make it quick young man oh see pop-pop trusts you uh I think we should call a doctor connecting homeowners with skilled pros for over 30 years Angie the one you trust to find the ones you trust find pros for all your home projects at Angie.com.

1:26All right, the weekend at Bernie's presidency continues. We have Pudding Boy, whose brain is completely cooked, who's laser focused on his ballroom, laser focused on his arch, laser focused on his interior design projects, laser focused and talking about just how hot people are all the time, particularly men. And I'll leave that for everybody to deduce what they want to. But there appears to be a big cover up about all of this. The cover up of Trump's mental and physical decline continues at the White House, you guys, after Trump made an unplanned medical visit this weekend. So basically, Angie and listener, he's in Florida.

2:05And then all of a sudden they're like, he needs to go to the local dentist. The president left Mar-a-Lago to go to the local dentist. I've been alive for a long time, 51 years. I haven't ever heard of the president going to a local dentist, but whatevs. And also Trump still hasn't released a routine physical for the year, which I can tell you just, and I'm not a medical doctor, but I can just tell you it's not good. He physically is not good. I would give it a double thumbs down on his physical and mental. But here's the polling on this. Pop this up. Percentage of Americans who say Trump isn't in good enough physical health to serve effectively.

2:50In May of 2023, 28 % of Americans said this guy is not in good enough shape. Today we're at 55%. So it's important because I think this is what's so frustrating, Angie, is they do such a good job, MAGA, with an assist from all of the tech oligarchs, Zuckerberg, Musk, now Ellison with TikTok, controlling the algorithms, flooding all the MAGA stuff with bot farms and it feels like, oh my God, like how the polling does not ferret that out. He is wildly unpopular, wildly unfit, both mentally and physically. You know, what's interesting is I kind of went down a rabbit hole of appointments that a president has.

3:38Dentists go to the White House. Doctors go to the White House. You do not have a president of the United States going to a doctor's office, even in Florida. The security measures that have to be taken, the Secret Service, the recon, all that shit. So this is absolute bullshit. I don't think it was a dental appointment. I think it was some type of medical emergency. I don't know what it was, but I mean, you could convince me it was one of his infusions in his hands, but I think they bring all that stuff in. So I think this is really interesting because why would he have to go there? I'm thinking mini stroke.

4:19I think, you know, he, I think he had that stroke because when he was gone for five days and not in the, and then he comes back and we've got like, yeah, the stroke victim thing. And then I think strokes, again, I'm not a medical doctor, tend to come in like clusters and clusters of mini strokes. I think we have Weekend at Bernie mini stroke cover up. All right. And so after all of this, Nancy Mace enters the chat and she posts this, pray for President Trump. So here's the thing, you know, like these people, these people know, like the one thing about MAGA people is it's particularly, particularly in politics, they may not be policy smart.

4:59They may not be like super moral, but they're like savvy with the news cycle. They're savvy with social media. They know how to game the masses. So for her to enter the chat and act like she knows that something happened with president Trump and, um, God, I hate calling him that, um, uh, that she knows something insider like that, I thought was pretty interesting, but even more concerning. Our president, who was dog walked into the war in Iran by Israel, is forgetting his own public statements about this. Let's pop this up. A reporter reminded President Trump yesterday that he'd said the night prior that the U.S.

5:40might be better off not making a deal with Iran. Trump said, I didn't say that. And he'd said it the night prior on camera. And he has spent the weekend overcompensating. Let's play the clip. It's very easy. It's a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. They say, which one is the bear? And everybody says, oh, 30 questions. Everyone says very standard. There's a very standard test, but very tough around those last 10 questions. Not too many people, even in this very room, Unlike Newsom, I'll say this room of geniuses, he said. Yeah, because not very many people, given the animal identification test of a shark, a bear, a giraffe could point out the bear.

6:28I would say if this is your best foot forward, MAGA, like this is so embarrassing. And you heard all of the people in the room laughing that go along with him, that enable this insane behavior that openly and brazenly celebrates stupidity, that openly and brazenly celebrate the loss of your mental faculties. That's what's so stunning to me. This guy's a grandstander and he is going to grandstand with stage 20 dementia. He'll never stop. He will never be able to stop. But the people who cheerlead, oh my God, the president could identify a bear. What a knee slapper and what a genius. My God, we are so lucky that he is our leader.

7:18That's what gets me the most. Well, especially when all you hear on Fox News still to this day is about who was covering up Biden's mental decline. Bitch, at least it could be covered up. This deal, he goes out there and tells us every day, and I'm just going to point this out. In my almost 60 years on earth, I have never discussed a cognitive test just casually, socially. I've never been on an occasion where anybody's discussed that with me or brought it up. The first person in my life that started publicly talking about a cognitive test is Trump. And that's because he failed it. I mean, there's no doubt, especially when now he's going, you know, dementia patients, short term memory, bad, long term memory.

8:06Good. I mean, we just had 20 years of The Apprentice. He's posting about that like it's yesterday. I mean, he's nuts. He's I mean, it's bad. I think he's compulsively taking cognitive tests. I think he cannot quit taking them yet because I think he failed one in Trump 1.0, the man, woman, camera, TV. And that's been a flaw in him. You know, like his whole life is self-preservation and proving that he's truly not an idiot. And he's a big boy who could have made it without all of his daddy's money and failing forward. And so I think he's failed these cognitive exams and he keeps just compulsively taking them.

8:41And I think he just keeps compulsively face planning with them. So he will not shut the fuck up about it. He also continued to show how laser focused he is on his ballroom. Let's play the clip. Saturday night. It was good for one thing. people are loving my ballroom now that's the only thing they love my ballroom they love my ballroom it's a good it's going to be the best in the world although i like the one at mar-a-lago very much too mayor so nobody likes your ballroom everybody thinks it's stupid he speaks more about the ballroom than he does the needs of everyday americans his His disdain for his supporters and the oligarchs surrounding him and their disdain for their customer base, for their workers is so egregious and so glaring right now.

9:37I can, again, only opine that perhaps if one good thing comes out of this, we return to an era where we do not falsely apply a lot of virtues and or intelligence and or success to uber wealthy people that exploit their workers and celebrate it. Like Jeff Bezos firing 20 ,000 people, all of these layoffs, record profits, record zero taxes that they're paying, and they're still firing people. The Republican Party is built on lies and being parasitic to the working class of Americans. Well, the statistic is that middle-income Americans pay more taxes than billionaires. It's a stunning number. But I'll just say this.

10:29I cannot imagine that if you are, even in rural Oklahoma, and you are low income, and you love Fox News, I can't imagine if you're watching him talk about his arch, his plane, his ballroom, and the hundreds of millions of dollars that it is taking just to prop up his little awards he wants to make for himself, that you're not thinking, I have to pay almost$5 a gallon for gas. I can't afford groceries. At some point, I can't, I mean, and maybe I'm just optimistic, but at some point, I can't imagine resentment doesn't brew with these people that are scraping by, that aren't able to buy medicine and food.

11:17And him talking about these billions of dollars to pay tribute to himself, it doesn't click. I think that's, you just articulated the problem with a personality trait, a character defect of American culture, is that despite all of the things, the pain at the pump, the lack of health care, that a lot of Americans, working class Americans, have bought into this lie that wealthy Americans are the best Americans and the biggest helpers. And it's a propagandic message that has been, I mean, for as long as I can remember, wealth trickles down. And they're willing to allow these wealthy people to have the things that they have because then they say, oh, that's the American dream.

12:09They were able to fulfill this dream. And the Democrats have erred in not fully messaging what the cost of the exploitation is and defining what the exploitation is. The Democratic Party has failed to properly take this egregious wealth inequality and exploitation of workers and immoral policies. They failed to take it head on. And the reason for that is because now a lot of people in the Democratic Party have the exact same donors that the Republican Party has. But even after Trump and the Republicans used the shooting incident, the White House Correspondence Center to call for funding the ballroom, Americans still aren't buying it.

12:53Let's pop this up. Americans reject President Trump's planned White House ballroom by a two to one margin, according to a post ABC Ipsos poll. There is also notable enthusiasm gap. Nearly three times as many people strongly oppose the project as strongly support it. So I think pumps to our points here. What's so devastating, independents have shown like maybe they voted for Trump this last time, But in the face of all of this, they're able to use critical thinking and get off the Trump train. I still see polling that with Republicans, he has a high 80 approval rating. It's stunning. Isn't it crazy?

13:38It really is, especially when you think that a large majority of those diehard Republicans are not wealthy. I mean, they are paycheck to paycheck people. Listener, life is like a big puzzle.

That's TravelBelize.org, your closest faraway paradise. The scam that the Republican Party has run to get working class voters is a real indictment on how poorly the Democrats message. I mean, because they have actively given voters to the Republican Party by taking corporate money and and not really speaking to their needs.

16:36And the Republican Party is just shameless. They'll just walk in and like wealth will trickle down. These rich people have to have all this stuff. We need to get rid of all these regulations. Well, what are regulations? They are consumer protections. They protect you from when you turn on your water that it doesn't have carcinogens in it. And the Democratic Party, because they are so beholden to corporate interests, have allowed this mass exodus of working class people to go actively vote against the policies that will help them get ahead. And even as Americans reject Trump's vanity projects, Trump is posting this on Truth Social.

17:13Let's pop this up. All right, here's Trump in his reflecting pool. and it's just an image of Trump, Vance, little Marco. And I don't know who the chick is. And that's that, what's that guy's name? Pump Bergen or something like that? Yeah. Yeah. So here they are in the reflecting pool. And here's what offends me about this. I'm past Trump, the shock and awe, but leave this up for a second, Kylie. I'm past all the, like Trump's going to post his Jesus or Trump's going to post images of himself shitting on Americans. It's the lie. he doesn't look like that shirtless. That's what bothers me the most.

17:53Yeah. I'm like, he no more near has that kind of ab set than the man in the moon. He would be like a walrus in a bathing suit if he could. I just, that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it too, because I'm no longer shocked. But I did find it interesting that he puts himself up there, you know, he's so cool and his svelte body and that all of these people that support him, that were so mad about Jesus, him acting like Jesus, aren't like Rubio, Berman, Vance. Like we've diminished all of them. We've diminished every political leader that's in this administration. And I know they have by their actions, but that tells me Trump doesn't have any respect for them.

18:42I just, I found it to be so gross. Well, of course he doesn't have any respect for them. He doesn't respect himself. He doesn't respect America. He doesn't respect his voters. And I appreciate that you think, oh my God, these voters can see that. How are they not offended by this? They're not. It's a cult. It is a cult. And it's like, I just love president Trump. Cause he really loves the flag and President Trump really loves Jesus and he didn't mean to post that thing as Jesus. He took it down. He learned his lesson. And I love President Trump and I want him to have a third term. I mean, that's what we're dealing with.

19:17We cannot have this notion where we take our, we project the way we would think of something, because these people have proven via their three Trump votes that they do not have the moral critical thinking to diminish in their brain. This person is a liar, a grifter and a con artist. All right. That's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. And also please pre-order my book. It is called Not Today Fascist.
