0:04A gunman was shot outside Mar-a-Lago and immediately MAGA and all of the crazy lunatics in that party began saying it was the radical left and all of the things about the person before there was a gunman was shot and immediately. shot a man dead outside Mar-a-Lago, the armed man shot and killed by the Secret Service agents outside Mar-a-Lago had reportedly become increasingly obsessed with the Epstein files and was also a vocal Trump supporter. Austin Tucker Martin sent a text to a co-worker on February 15, 2026, attained by TMZ that read, I don't know if you've read up on the Epstein files, but evil is real and unmistakable.

0:59The best people like you and I can do is use what little influence we have. Tell other people about what you hear about the Epstein files and what the government is doing about it. Raise awareness. Then it goes on to say that he had told co-workers in North Carolina that the bad people were getting away with it. Who was getting away with it? Trump and the over half of his cabinet, which is named in the Epstein files, were high-ranking officials in Trump's orbit. The draining of the swamp is, in fact, covering up for the swamp. And this guy, he was a big, huge MAGA Trumper. But this just goes to show anything said from this administration, you cannot believe it.

1:46Not jobs report, not HHS findings, nothing about vaccines. FBI, for sure no. DOJ, no. They lie. They take everything and they make the narrative they want to make. And then last week, the Supreme Court, in the first time that they've stood up to Trump in recent memory, said, no, the tariffs that Trump made are illegal. So Trump, my first thought was, oh my gosh, his reaction. So his reaction was absolutely ketchup all over the wall, insane, matter than a hornet, can't believe it. This is what he says at a presser when he is speaking to people about the United States after he threw all kinds of shit at the Supreme Court justices.

2:34But I am allowed to cut off any and all trade or business with that same country. In other words, I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country. I'm even allowed to impose a foreign country destroying embargo i can embargo i can do anything i want but i can't charge one dollar because that's not what it says and that's not the way it even reads i can do anything i want to do to them but i can't charge any money so i'm allowed to destroy the country but i can't charge them a little fee i could give them a little two two cent fee but i cannot charge under any circumstances. I cannot charge them anything.

3:20Think of that. How ridiculous is that? I'm allowed to embargo them? Okay, here's the thing. This man is a classic decompensating mentally. Obviously, he's throwing the biggest tantrum of his life. The Supreme Court, for the first time, goes against him, and he gets on stage and starts talking about how he's going to destroy countries. He could destroy our country. He is insane. The calls for impeachment should be coming from every single sitting member of Congress. Yet you have people over the weekend just kind of poo-pooing it off like, oh, he's mad. This guy has the nuclear codes. This guy is going to start a war with Iran when he lied about what's going on in Iran.

4:05This man should be nowhere near power. And so we see the response. I mean, he's a laughingstock. He is a global laughingstock. The EU is like, we're not paying tariffs. EU says it won't accept increase in U.S. tariffs after Supreme Court ruling a deal is a deal. And here's what he did. He said, oh, I'm going to make a 10 % tariff. Then he got madder and he said, I'm going to make it a 15 % tariff. Shut up. Somebody take this man's phone now. He is a nut. He is a global laughingstock. India, huge trade partner. They're like, eh, we're going to back off trade talks because of all this tariff nonsense.

4:45India delays Washington trade visit as U.S. tariff policy shifts, sources tell CNBC. Here's the deal. Everybody knows this man's not serious. Everybody knows this man is out for himself. It's a shakedown. It's a grift. It's about him, no one else. And here's the thing. He's mad at the Supreme Court. If I had my choice when the Supreme Court would stand up to him, it would have been about people and not money. But this Supreme Court does not care about constitutional rights of people, but they don't want you to mess with their money. And so Trump, for the first time, is having to follow the law.

5:23And here's the deal. He's already said, I'm not following the law. I'm increasing the tariffs. He is out of control. He is a raving madman. And then I just thought this was so funny. I read an article over the weekend about Trump is anxious on who is going to lead the party in 2028. Is it going to be JD or Marco? And here are my thoughts on that. Both of these men are so corrupt. They have absolutely no care in the world about what's going on in the United States. Marco Rubio, he sat on the Intelligence Committee in the Senate. He knows how dangerous Trump is. He knows how dangerous Vladimir Putin is.

6:08And he continues to do Trump's bidding. He's a secretary in state, name only, because Wyckoff and Kushner, they're doing all the negotiations. Where's Marco Rubio? Obviously, Trump has no faith in Marco Rubio. And J.D. Vance has flip-flopped his positions on every single thing he has ever said, from Trump as America's Hitler to release the Epstein files. This man is so unlikable and has zero credibility. Between the two of them, I don't think either one of them has the charisma or ability to run and be elected president. Number one, I think everyone by the end of the Trump administration is going to hate their guts.

6:54J.D. Vance is bought and paid for by billionaires. Peter Thiel is his buddy-buddy. He is more diabolical than Trump, yet the cult won't follow him because he is absolutely unlikable. I mean, it's Ted Cruz style, unlikable. When he tries to ha-ha and be funny, it's just embarrassing. I mean, he is an embarrassment. So my pick is neither. I don't think either one of these will be at the top of the ticket. I kind of think, look for Brian Kemp, the Republican governor of Georgia, Nikki Haley, because they have stayed out of the Trump fray and all the shit that sprays on them by Trump. They have stayed out of that and aren't associated with MAGA as strongly as these people.

7:44And I think that with Trump having a 60 % disapproval rating, I don't think his coattails will be enough to ride to a presidential election, assuming we have them. All right, listener, before we started this podcast, Pumps and I were like, should we do this? Is anybody going to listen? How are we going to set up merch? How are we going to set up anything?

9:19And then just, as I said, Trump is off his rocker. He's unhinged. He's decompensating. He is in the middle of what I think is just a complete meltdown, not to mention the dementia. So we post this over the weekend about Greenland. You know, he made Jeff Landry, who is the governor of Louisiana, which is the poorest, most crime, high, high, high need for federal assistance. But they are read through and through. Working with the fantastic governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we're going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick and not being taken care of there.

10:01It's on the way, President DJT. Then there is a photo in the twilight on the ocean of a medical ship. Okay, number one, the reason this all came out, obviously we know Trump wants Greenland, but the reality is a US service member was in trouble. Greenland rescued that service member. And this is the response they got. And so here is a quote from the Prime Minister of Greenland. And I just thought this was fabulous. Greenland Prime Minister Jens Federick Nielsen's response. It is a no thank you from here. President Trump's idea of sending an American hospital ship here to Greenland has been noted.

10:41But we have a public health care system where treatment is free for citizens. That is a deliberate choice and a fundamental part of our society. That is not how it works in the USA, where it costs money to see a doctor. We are always open to dialogue and cooperation, also with the U.S. But please talk to us instead of just making more or less random statements on social media. Dialogue and cooperation require respect for the fact that decisions about our country are made here at home. I thought this was a perfect response. Number one, we are the only first world country that has health care that you have to pay for.

11:22Everywhere else it's free. So why would Greenland want our helps? Plus, research, all of the Trump cuts to medical research have reduced our standing in cutting edge nature of health care. And then here's the thing. I loved that he was called out for his policymaking on his dead ass lie social bullshit platform. And we heard Caroline Leavitt last week saying, oh, well, anything Trump posts is policy of the United States. Are you fucking kidding me? You're the president of the United States. Act like it. Do not govern the country on a two-bit media site that has, you know, few thousand psychos that are sycophants and everybody else is just spying on what a nut you are.

12:10So this is, we're at a five alarm fire here. Trump has lost his mind. And I always say that, like I have been saying that for over a year. Trump is out of his mind. He's done hinge. It continues to get worse. There is no bottom for this man. And now that he is being told no, he is at his most dangerous. So I am anxious to see what he does at the State of the Union. OK, thanks for watching. Please like this video and subscribe to our channel.
