Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04There's no question in my mind that Trump demands to take cognitive tests, fails them, gets on national television, tells everybody he aces them and then demands to take another one again, because he talks about it all the time for years now from Trump, from the first term to now, he will not shut the fuck up about taking cognitive exams. Listen to this. For a lot of people. But I also did a cognitive exam, which is always very risky because if I didn't do well, you'd be the first to be blaring it. And I had a perfect score. And one of the doctors said he's almost never seen a perfect score. I had a perfect, a perfect score.
0:48I got the highest score. And that made me feel good. When they asked, would I like to do one? I said, yeah. I said, did Obama do it? No. Did Bush do it? No. Did Biden do it? I definitely did. Biden wouldn't have gotten the first three questions right. No, Biden didn't do it. Biden should have done it. I'm actually a person that believes. Okay. All the gold behind him. He's sitting here talking about it's a risky thing to take a cognitive test. It is a risky thing if you have dementia and you're president of the United States because the results of that could leak all over the place. He's never aced a cognitive exam.
1:28I think it was 60 minutes in Trump 1.0 where he was going on and on about acing the cognitive test. He's failing him. There's no question about it. A hundred percent he fails him. Or he has a doctor like, you know, Ronnie Jackson that says not only is he in the best shape of any human to ever be alive, he's a great golfer, that kind of thing. But here's the thing. I don't get on this podcast and say, I passed a cognitive test. I'm not Don Jr. and get on the podcast and say, I don't do cocaine because people are not questioning those things about me. he knows his father had horrible Alzheimer's and dementia.
2:09And by all reports, he hated that. He is walking down that line. He knows it. And the sycophants around him will not be honest with them and tell him, shut the fuck up. Just shut up. Nobody surrounding him will tell him that he is incapable of hearing advice. And if anybody were to offer advice, they would be fired. Next Next up, okay, I think the man has not only dementia that is objectively visible, anybody can see it, but I also think he has like heart issues, clot issues, mini stroke type issues. I'm not a doctor, but I've read, you know, from some doctors that have looked at this, the ankles, the bruising on the hands, et cetera.
2:49So he's going back to Walter Reed, which we reported on this yesterday and it's only been five months. So he clearly, you know, this guy's not a spring chicken. And he's going back and listen to him talk about his checkup. I'm going to change gears really quickly and ask you, you're going to Walter Reed tomorrow? What are you having done? How are you feeling? I'm meeting with the troops. And I'm also going to do a sort of semi-annual physical, which I do. And I think I'm in great shape, but I'll let you know. But I know I have no difficulty thus far. Is there wood around here? a knockup. Okay.
3:29Perfectly healthy people don't go get checkups all the time. And he's not a hypochondriac. I think he is old. I think he has dementia. He's been talking about trying to get into heaven. I think biology is catching up with him. And I think the MAGA players in the MAGA movement are seeing this because in order for a strong man to survive, he has to emit strength in this form of toxic masculinity. We have him there whining and complaining that he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. He's jealous that Obama won it. He's acing cognitive tests. It's like you're taking a Mensa exam. I mean, this is like the most elementary thing you can take.
4:10So he's not exuding strength. And we're starting to see fissures within the MAGA movement. And they have to act rapidly because they've all committed a lot of crimes. Everybody in his administration has committed a crime. And so put up this headline. The headline is that the Trump administration officials are seriously discussing invoking the Insurrection Act. Michael still comments on this and says, this has always been the end game. It's how Trump gets to martial law and ultimately suspending the 26 elections. The fact that they are, quote, debating it should have alarms sounding off. It won't help to wake up to this fact after he does it.
4:56So here's the thing that everybody has to understand. They're flooding the zone. They're doing all of these things, but their leader, the dictator that's supposed to emit this masculine strength, badass, think about Putin topless on the horse and how all the conservatives were drooling and beating off to that for a decade, right? Well, kinks can't emit that type of thing. And so they have to move very quickly to consolidate power with the executive so that when biology comes, and that's why I started off this episode talking to you guys about his checkup at Walter Reed and the diarrhea mouth nonstop talking about the cognitive exams, because their only option is to consolidate power, martial law, and then shift power to their bought and paid for failed drag queen, Little Smoky.
5:45Okay, Jennifer, I completely agree with what you're saying, but there's a part of me with all this because I believe that Trump knows that J.D. Vance has the claws out and that he knows that he's the useful idiot, get everybody together and consolidate and that Vance cannot keep the cult together. So there's just like this conspiracy theory part of me. While I agree with you, there's like 10 % of me that says, is he signaling to MAGA, if something happens to me and I were to die of my congestive heart failure or a stroke and JD Vance ascends into power, is he trying to signal I'm as healthy as a horse?
6:29And these stupid people believe it because they think the ankles make his dick bicker instead of the fact that he has some kind of heart issue that he can't get blood through his deal. So do you think that's the craziest conspiracy see, ever heard. Yeah, because he's not, he's not laying, he is an impulse, impulsive person. He sees what's in front of him. And right now he's the president and he thinks he's going to live a long time. He's looking at ending the 26th election so that he can stay in power. My point is different than yours. Mine is the people surrounding him are capitulating and aiding and abetting because they know that J.D.
7:09Vance cannot keep the cult together and win a free and fair election. They know that. Marco Rubio knows he's committed crimes. They know they cannot have a democratic blue wave in Congress. So the capitulation for them is jockeying so that when the transfer happens, they're legally protected and still inside the federal government. Moving along, this is just all you need to know about how serious he is about the Insurrection Act. The Midas Touch is reporting that the United States is deploying about 200 troops to Israel to help with the ceasefire. And Ben Mycelos retweets and says that's 4 % of what he sent to Los Angeles.
7:57So they are dead serious about this Insurrection Act and And everybody's capitulating around him regarding the Insurrection Act because it is their lifeline. They know that they either have to be tethered to him or tethered to him being a dictator so that when power is transferred, then they are safe legally and that they still maintain power. Does that make sense, Pumps? Yeah, no. And I thank you for the explanation because I was thinking about it differently, but I completely agree with your point. Exactly. And I find that he's acting like 200 troops is going to do anything in Israel. That just seems a very nominal thing to me.
8:38Well, the point, the bigger point for me with that is this shows you where his priorities are. Absolutely. His priorities are declaring war on American cities because he's dead serious about stopping the 2026 elections. He is dead serious. And they know, all of them know, their survival, their political survival, keeping their asses out of jail, keeping investigations at bay, all hinges on these 2026 elections. And they will move heaven and earth to try to prevent. So that's why Israel's getting 200 troops because they don't give a fuck. They only timed that ceasefire so that potentially they could, it could look like Trump could win the Nobel peace prize.
9:24That's why it was timed when it was timed. And I'm dead serious. That's my opinion. I agree. Because Netanyahu and all of the freak shows in his cabinet, they still want to ethnically cleanse. Right. Jared Kushner still wants to develop Gaza as a real estate development. And that was timed as a Trump's been given Netanyahu all this shit. And he said, listen up, motherfucker, do the ceasefire so I can get the Nobel Peace Prize because everybody's saying Trump's peace deal and all this. Like he knows what he's fucking doing with that. I mean, it's just ridiculous. All right. Here's the thing, you guys.
9:56So you have Stephen Miller that's doing the Insurrection Act. He's the one sending the troops to LA. He's the one sending him to Chicago. Trump's all in because he's like, I fucking hate Democrats. And those people are mean to me and they didn't vote for me. So in my opinion, the evil forces surrounding Trump give him projects to work on while they do these anti-constitutional law-breaking illegal acts and push the bounds of the Constitution because we are in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. It's almost complete. And so what do they do to keep their dementia, swollen ankle man busy? Put this up.
10:34But here he is looking at plans. He has his decorating and construction projects on the Oval Office. On Trump's desk in the Oval Office today was a plan for a triumphal arch on the other side of the river from the Lincoln Memorial. Okay, you guys, this is, if any other president did this when the government was shut down, people were losing their health care, were sending troops to cities. This guy, these are the projects Stephen Miller gives him. I think Susie Wiles and Stephen Miller and Marco Rubio are like, yes, let's give him little activities to do so that we can break the law, get the Insurrection Act, deport people, and we can have a white supremacist nation.
11:13And I'm dead serious. I don't even think that's hyperbolic. And then, of course, it wouldn't be Kanks if it wasn't grifting. This commercial is running nonstop on Newsmax. Hello, everyone.
