Trump Takes Stab at JD Vance as Fears of A Coup Grow Amid Failing Health Crisis

0:06Jack Cocchiarella is a progressive political commentator, my good friend, and he has over 1.4 million YouTube subscribers and he joins me today on iHip News. Jack, how are you? I'm fantastic. I'm better to be back, better to be back in person. This is great. We're doing in the studio. New York City, baby. All right, let's talk about this. First up, Amazon is going to reboot The Apprentice with the sons of Donald Trump, Dumb and Dumber. The failed sons. With Dumb. They're going to start with Dumb. I don't know how the show is going to go if the people who are on it don't also have access to the Pentagon and that is how they've been able to secure contracts for their businesses.

0:46Is it going to be like The Grift Apprentice? Don Jr. sits on the board as an advisor to both Kalshi and Polymarket. I talk about all the time these two illegal casinos on your phone, these prediction and betting markets. He does so on both these competitors because they're trying to deregulate the whole industry because his daddy's the president. That's it. There is no expertise that Don Jr. brings. It's like Jared Kushner, how the Saudis gave him all that money to run his little firm. They said, this is under the condition that you're not allowed to touch it and do anything with it because you're a fucking idiot and everybody knows that how is the show even going to go like what what what is the advice is he going to instill with anyone it's just it's insane and let's just discuss the fact that this is another jeff bezos bend over i have never could you imagine being that rich and all you do is bend over for donald trump and his dumb ass son there's there's got to be part of it like these people maybe do have a humiliation kink.

1:43Like yesterday, Hegseth was when he was just getting grilled. I know he's trying to do like the audience of one thing. Oh, I'm laughing at what the Democrats are saying about me because, you know, dear leaders watching. But there is some part of it where everyone's drunk. Everyone's a cuck. Kash Patel, his girlfriend was cheating on him at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Wait, she was. But you know, my favorite tweet of all time is when Kash Patel tweeted that Alexis is a country music sensation. A superstar. And she has done more for America than most Americans in 10 lifetimes. Really?

2:16She's a super patriot. Do you think she's more patriotic than you? She has to be. Her Cash Patel, but I think her patriotism is going to end when Donald Trump fires Cash and she no longer has private jets and designated drivers. Have you ever heard one of her songs? No, never. I probably should have brought an example. It's probably like, you know, I've been something with a whiskey and my dog in the truck. I don't know. Can I date Cash Patel now? Or do I have to join Mossad too? Is that part of the arrangement? Probably. Okay. Moving along. Trump, true social post popped up today. Pop this up.

2:58Anybody running for president or vice president should - You want me to do the voice? Yeah, do it. Quite frankly, anybody running for president or vice president should be, they need to be forced to take a cognitive examination prior to entering the race by doing so. We wouldn't be surprised if people like Barack Hussein Obama or Sleepy, he's so sleepy, be quite frankly, Joe Biden getting elected. Why would that be in quotes and capitalized? Our country would be, what does quotes and capitalized mean? Our country would be a much better place. I took the exam three times during my three terms. Parenthesis, quote, exclamation point, caps lock.

3:35What does that mean? What is that supposed to imply? Should I read that differently? Three times as president. So that's nice. You forgot that he wasn't president. Okay. And I also love when they do this to distract, sorry, a little pivot real quick. I love when he's like, Joe Biden fucked everything up and it's his problem. But I was also president somehow during that term, because if he was president when Joe Biden was screwing everything up, how is it his fault? But Donald Trump said he took three cognitive exams. We're back into it. returns this president and aced it all three times, an achievement that even on a single exam, according to the doctors, the great doctors, has rarely been done before.

4:10President Donald J. Trump in the studio. You got Trump in the studio. That's nice. It's very nice. And here is, I'll do my Melania. Here is the cognitive test that Donald took. Please pop this up, Kylie. As you can see, Donald is unifier and very high IQ. He can identify lion, rhinoceros, and camel. My husband is very high IQ and he is unifier and he can also grab by pussy because very famous. Who's been? We're out of control. I mean, this is, here's what I think, Jack. Do you think it's a little bit of a shot at JD? Do you think he wants... So this was the first time that Donald Trump did this.

4:56I think it was in January, because I have two thoughts on this exam. The first time that Donald Trump did this was in January, when there was a bit of a break with Vance on our first war. Actually, I guess our second of the three, there's been lots of wars. It's hard to keep track of all of them. But there was a bit of... Not to mention all that he's solved. All that he's fixed. I think it's 10 now. Oh, yeah. Quite frankly, Melania, it's 10. But this was in January when there were some rumblings about maybe Vance isn't happy. And it was the same time where Trump was asking room full of donors in Doral, like, do you like Vance or do you like Rubio?

5:31He then said, I think everyone, president and vice president should have to take a cognitive test. And to me, that was, I need JD to do it. So it's not as weird that I keep taking them. Like he was asking Vance, like, I'm going to say this publicly, you need to go take a cognitive test so we can set it as precedent. This is my conspiracy because he's like, I'm going to have to keep taking these and it's going to leak out that they keep giving them to me. And this is not a, this is not a happy test, right? If you're, if you have to identify the lions, tigers, and bears, it's not a happy test. This is like, should grandpa still have his keys?

6:05Like, is he allowed to go to the grocery store by himself? because he might say like some slurs like that's like no like that is the type of test that this is and he paints it as like what an achievement and i'm sorry it's such a great brain and we love my brain but but that's what it is so i think you want advanced to take it is what this is i okay here's my theory i think that one night when he was all amped up on twitter back when he was on twitter a long time ago he got one of those ads it was like take iq test so he took the iq test and it comes back really low. And I think he's been reeling and unraveling since then.

6:40And in Trump 1.0 is when he took the first cognitive test because he did man, woman, camera, TV. I can't believe you can remember that. That's impressive. I know, sharp as a tack. It takes some work. Still traps right here, baby. And so I think he's been taking cognitive exams and IQ tests ad nauseum. And I think he fails them because we're in his deathbed confession era where he is telling us, he's talking about how attractive he finds men all the time. He's talking about, oh, the truth is I really like - There's some good looking guys out there. I really like to hang out with losers. He's really letting it all hang out.

7:17And I think that he cannot pass the cognitive exam. And I think he has a double digit IQ. That's my working theory. I also think that he is so aware. And he said that, and he's been saying this, like the deathbed confession is the right way to frame it. He said Melania, like, obviously, he's not going to live for another 40 years. He said to Melania, oh, we're not going to break the 65 year marriage record. He posted, this was three weeks ago, this evangelist, I think it's like a televangelist, Franklin Graham is his name. He posted this letter that he sent to Trump in October, saying, dear leader, when you die, I promise you're going to heaven.

7:56You keep saying you're not. And Trump just posted it three weeks ago, out of the blue. He's just like, I want everyone to know that when I die, I'm going to have it. And I've been viewing a lot of what this Trump presidency is through the lens of he's in deep cognitive decline. Every time he feels sad about that or people see his cankles or his bruises, he wants to project out strength. He does it with our military. When the Florida Panthers came to the White House, he said, look at all these big, strong guys, because he loves his men. And he said, you're so big and strong and tough, but I have the US military.

8:26And so like the projection and the insecurity is so clear, but everything he does from the ballroom to the Kennedy Center, it is all about he wants to put his fucking face on the passport and currency and everything. He wants to know what it's going to look like when he dies. I think it's true. And that is shaping most of what he does. Which makes you think like there's some diagnosis out there. Remember when he was like AWOL like five or six days and he comes out and then we have the droopy mouth. There is some clandestine diagnosis out there because he started talking about, quite frankly, I don't think I'm going to make it into heaven or yes, I'm going to make it into heaven.

9:01And then he's been grifting off of that. Help Trump get to heaven. Emails to these supporters. Okay, let's jump to Congress is now proposing a resolution to condemn Hassan Piker. Fuck this up. Good looking guy right there. Congress is set to introduce a resolution today condemning Hassan Piker for allegedly spreading anti-Semitism. The resolution was brought forward by, of course, Representatives Gottenheimer and Lawler. The two received nearly$3 million from AIPAC pro-Israel lobby groups combined. And what I propose that we do, since Congress is worthless and nobody takes them seriously, What I propose we do right here is we are Congress, and I'm going to make a resolution to condemn Erica Kirk.

9:48Okay, I love this. Because I think we need to condemn people that want to talk about shootings, and they want to cosplay as assassins while talking about shootings. Just shut the fuck up. I think we need to condemn it. I think we need to condemn it. So I want to get votes. Oh, my God. We should. I think this is a great idea. All in favor, say aye. With aye. Hi, the producers are raising their hands. All right, that's all we have. Jack Cacciarella, thank you so much. Let's say it how they say it in Italy. Coquirella. Coquirella. Jack Coquirella, grazie.
