0:04Kinks had an incredibly busy weekend between flying to Mar-a-Lago, playing golf, going to the commanders game, and being booed mercilessly. He also fully pardoned all the January 6th election deniers. Now, this is interesting. He pardoned them, but his pardon only extends to federal powers, not state. And in Georgia, they're charged with state crime. So just FYI, Rudy Giuliani, you're still on the hook. But while Kanks is lavishly spending money and flying all around and the American people are suffering. He's also suing before the Supreme Court so that he does not have to provide SNAP benefits for the hungriest.

0:51And then on Fox News, which I'm sure he was watching, we had this. As a new poll finds about 70 % of Americans say groceries are more expensive now than they were a year ago. And about 60 % of them are blaming President Trump. Don't you know that just he just couldn't stand it because it's Biden's fault. Groceries are down. Everything's down. Energy prices are down. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. So in what I believe to be response to that, he posts this crazy ass message on True Social. I'm recommending to Senate Republicans that the hundreds of billions of dollars currently being sent to money-sucking insurance companies in order to save the bad health care provided by Obamacare, be sent directly to the people so that they can purchase their own much better health care and have money left over.

1:47In other words, take from the big, bad insurance companies, give it to the people and terminate per dollar spent. The worst health care anywhere in the world, Obamacare. Unrelated, we must terminate the filibuster. Okay, a couple of things on this. So his big idea to give Americans money, like$2 ,000, I think it was, which helps everybody pay for medical 0%, like that doesn't provide a solution. And if you hate Obamacare so much, you've had 10 years, 10, 10 years to come up with a better plan. And you haven't done it because you don't give a shit. And for him to sit there and say, oh, yeah, the big bad insurance companies, shut the fuck up.

2:33Everybody knows the reason we, the American people, cannot have nice things is because of you and your billionaire cronies. So we're not buying that bullshit. Every American is not as dumb as the people that follow you on live social. And so to do damage control, we've got demon queen Scott Bessent, who has yet to realize that when the claws turn, he's first because he is a homosexual that has his lips plastered on Trump's ass. And they're coming for him. Why he thinks he's exempt just because he's a billionaire, I have no idea. But don't worry, at some point, Trump and his MAGA racist bigots will come for him.

3:20So here is him walking tanks back. You know, it could, the$2 ,000 dividend could come in lots of forms and lots of ways, George. It could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing on the president's agenda. You know, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, deductibility of auto loans. So, you know, those are substantial deductions that are being financed in the tax bill. Okay, so in other words, no, Trump is not going to give every American$2 ,000. That's bullshit. And here's the thing. Even if he did,$2 ,000 wouldn't cover it. Here's something, too, though. I think it's important for us to note this.

4:13Trump is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, as we all know. But the people surrounding him, the people that do his bidding, he's a corrupt criminal. They're clearly corrupt criminals. Because we saw over the weekend a clip from the shady shit Argentinian president doing the Trump dance at Mar-a-Lago. Why? Because birds of a feather flock together. Scott Besant's buddy bankrolled a lot of the economy in Argentina. That's who Trump's protecting. Those guys, billionaires, he doesn't give a shit about the American people. Well, I mean, come on, the people that think he does. I just I don't get it. It makes no sense.

5:01And there's one silver lining that I think we have to mention with the government shutdown being over other than air traffic and all the other bullshit. It is that the representative from Arizona who has been waiting the longest in U.S. history to be sworn in. We'll have to be sworn in because Congress will be back in session. And she will be the 218th signature on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files. So that's coming, GOP, MAGA, Mike Johnson, Pedophile Protection Program Leader. But here we got this report and this turns my stomach. Ghislaine Maxwell is having a good old time.

5:46In her new club, Fed, Scott McFarlane is reporting from CBS News. Federal law enforcement staff working at the camp have been waiting on Ms. Maxwell hand and foot, says the letter signed by House Judiciary Committee ranking member. And so what this tells us is that Trump knows Ghislaine Maxwell has the goods on him. Ghislaine Maxwell knows that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein formed the Pussy Committee for Prince Andrew. He knows that she can bring him down in an instant, just like she allegedly did with Prince Andrew releasing the emails that had, I'm sorry, I should have said former, formerly known as Prince Andrew.

6:36He lost his title. He lost his house. He lost his stature. He lost everything. Trump needs to do the same. And the keys to that kingdom are being held by Ghislaine Maxwell. So it is no wonder that Trump set his minion and personal lawyer Todd Blanche down to depose. And I use that word in quotations because usually in a deposition, both sides are represented. And this was like a secret meeting we haven't seen the transcript of. But we know Ghislaine Maxwell is a convicted liar, convicted of perjury. She is a sex trafficker. And the victims of Epstein say she is by and far one of the only reasons that they came and entered Jeffrey Epstein's orbit.

7:25Because she was a woman and she was charming and she recruited them. Convicted 20 years for sex trafficking. being swept off into club fed where she's being waited on hand and foot because Donald Trump is scared of what she can do to his career and that of many of his Republican donors. So let's keep our eye on that. With the government back up and running, we need to keep our eye on that. Okay, I want to take a minute and thank our sponsor, Ground News.

8:13It's like the Spotify of news. It puts all the news in one place and it tells you, is the information you're getting factual? Where does it come from? Who wrote it? So on the left, we see high factuality and it says Trump administration threaten states that don't undo full snap benefits.

And then we have Donald Trump, who I loved reporting and seeing that Donald Trump got booed for over two minutes at the Washington Commanders game. We know he packed up his toys and went home because he got his little feelings hurt. So why? did Donald Trump go to the commanders game? And here we have it. Adam Schefter reports, President Donald Trump wants the Washington commanders to name their planned$3.7 billion stadium after him.

10:02Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN. Well, of course he does. He wants to be on Mount Rushmore. He wants to be on coins. He wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize. his malignant narcissism cannot be fed enough no matter what you do for him no matter how many hours in a cabinet meeting you kiss his ass it's never enough it is never enough this man has to sit his rotund fat ass on a gold toilet to feel good about himself you can't fill him up all the naming in the world all the ass kissing in the world cannot make him feel better about himself because he knows he's a con man and a fraud.

10:44And so this is just exactly what I would expect from him, is to go and want a stadium named after him. I mean, he wants his name on coins. The worst president in history, in charge of the longest two government shutdowns in history. Terrible economy, horrible approval ratings. Yeah, sounds good. Let's name a stadium after you. Fuck no. DC hates you. Only 30 % of the American people still approve of you. So I hate to break your bubble, little tiny weenie weenie mushroom peenie.
