Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04All right, Donald Trump is buying gifts for the bunny boiler. Who's the bunny boiler? Natalie, Natalie Harp. Let's pop this up. New financial disclosures reveal. Trump gave a shocking$45 ,000 gift in cash to Natalie Harp. I want to live in a country where this is immediately investigated. Why is a president of the United States where all of his followers preach traditional family values, giving$45 ,000 to a bunny boiler? Natalie Harp, She is with him 24-7. She's posting that crazy shit on Truth Social, up all night, da-da-da-da-da-da, sitting around in his shit smell. She fucking loves it. Like, that tells me all I need to know about her.
0:56She likes that shit. Well, Josh, former White House ethics lawyer for George W. Bush, Robert Painter, said that the payment is prohibited under a criminal statute. That's true, but then we have to remind ourselves that the Department of Justice is controlled by Donald Trump. And so these things don't matter in today's society. And let's not forget that Donald Trump's net worth has increased$3 to$4 billion since he's been in office. So 45 ,000, that's like a couple of 20s to the rest of us. But it is, I mean, in any other news cycle with any other president, this would be a story. I'm sorry, on the totem pole of Donald Trump things that happens every day, this is about at the bottom.
1:41And I would just add, and this is really lowbrow of me, but when they go low, we should go lower. I would say in this instance, Melania Trump would be a high-end escort. And if Natalie, the bunny boiler, is only getting 45K, I think she's doing more lower-end escorts. I mean, Melania is much more expensive than Natalie is. And by all accounts, Natalie seems to be with him overnight, not Melania. But let's move along from there. Trump's midterm convention starts tonight and he's already making excuses for a low turnout. Pop this up. Caitlin Collins tweets, Trump on tomorrow's midterm convention in Dallas.
2:25Everybody wants to be there. But we're really asking only those candidates that are in tight races, a little up, a little down, or even to speak. We want to save the stage for them. We don't need people who are up 45 points and have been in office for 30 years as much as we love them all. So, you know, this is just going to be just a nauseating. Donald Trump, browbeating, marginalized people. The trans, you know, the imaginary trans athlete issue will be on center stage. Imaginary immigrant undocumented criminals will be on center stage, but the real criminals will truly be on center stage. I do want to add this.
3:10How many times can you watch Kid Rock perform? How many times can you listen to Lee Greenwood? is he still alive by the way but i mean if you go to these fucking conventions that's all you get there are about three of them that are gonna that they're gonna whip out are they gonna trot out erica kirk are they trotting erica out i'd be shocked if they didn't at this point here's the thing here's what i'm waiting for the meltdown afterwards the meltdown if nobody came nobody watched. It gets poor reviews. I mean, if anyone has any shred of reality, he just goes fucking nuts on True Social. I should say he and Natalie go fucking nuts on True Social.
4:00So all of the criticism that I anticipate here, I know that it's petty, but I'm just so looking forward to his meltdown after what an abysmal failure this is going to be. See, this is where I differ a little bit. Trump melts down all day, every day, 24-7, 365. He is going to, regardless of what the outcome of this is, he will take a victory lap. And everybody around him, little Marco, Stephen Miller, Katie Miller, Hexeth, Susie Wiles will all say, you crushed it. You were incredible. And then he will and Natalie will print out favorable articles from the Daily Wire and some other. What is that one that always talks about us?
4:48MRC, media research, whatever. They're always putting our clips out and they'll do some favorable thing about how great it was. And then he'll melt down about something else. And I just I want us to be cautious about enjoying Trump too much because I think it's a part of the problem. I think that it feeds this whole thing. And furthermore, all of us watch this from a position of our complexion to where we're going to be the last that are targeted. A lot of people, every single time Donald Trump puts a phone in his hand or is on television, he is attacking marginalized people and they don't have the luxury to laugh at him and to laugh him off.
5:28So I think that him being this entertainer in chief and his lunacy being entertaining and his failures being entertaining and his lying be entertaining is something we all have participated in that we all need to kind of back off of because it's contributing to this mess that is fascist MAGA takeover stuff. And I just, I hate to be the skunk at the garden party, but I just don't enjoy any of him anymore at all because all he does is hate on people that I want to protect. Okay, listener, I have to tell you, I have a great laundry hack. And I know you think laundry hack. I hate doing laundry. I do too.
6:11But if your clothes smell like a self-care ritual, your sheets smell incredible, you're going to want to do it. It's called laundry sauce. They have all of these amazing scents.

You're completely right. I, and I am a big part of the problem because the him melting down over crowd size, knowing how, what a deep narcissistic wound that is, but you're a hundred percent right. And your point is very well taken.
7:30And the pettiness just, I, I'm, I point well, it's tempting pumps. I'm there with you listen i've been with you in lockstep but at this stage in it where he is right now it's just i get no joy out of watching him manipulate the truth and the facts and his meltdowns it's just because people are really really suffering because of this man um josh and i I agree with all that. However, I do want to see Chachi Scott Baio at the convention. I think if he can bring Chachi, then it's going to be a hit. Okay, sorry, I digress. Okay. And then, okay, not all heroes wear capes. And, you know, we have seen the best position, most financially successful people that will never be touched by fascism, be the first to capitulate.
8:37And that's been one of the more like alarming things to this. And Ruth Ben-Ghiat and other historians talk about how the elites capitulate first. But there are some people who absolutely refuse to capitulate. And South Park, in my opinion, should be like Time Magazine Person of the Year. It should be Zoran and the creators of South Park. South Park has gone after him. They don't give a fuck. They have zero fucks to give. They're under Paramount umbrella. They don't give a fuck about that. Pop this up. South Park is changing its name to South America for season 29. inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google.
9:18We are changing the name of South Park to South America. We especially want to thank our parent company, Paramount, a Skydance capitulation. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone said in a statement trolling Trump for changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America and for Google and Apple for accepting it. In one of their statements, it said, the bravery and patriotism to Google and Apple. This is the way you need to call out Trump and his ridiculousness and call out Google and Apple immediately capitulate and name it Lake Ontario. Their normalization of this, I hope that when a Democratic takeover happens, that this is absolutely brand damaging for these brands.
10:11and they are too big. They need to be broken up. It's just, it's really disgusting. It's really disgusting that the, the most financially sound people capitulate to him. Yeah. And they're already so rich. Like it's just not enough for them. They already have everything. And here's the thing, uh, South Park, in my opinion, was really brilliant how they did this because they signed on the dotted line with Paramount for over a billion dollars for their new seasons. and then they fucking lit Trump on fire. And they are humiliating the people that own the network and their political positions. And here's the thing.
10:53And maybe I'm just reading between lines, but to me, it is embarrassing. It is so fucking embarrassing for Google and Apple. If they believed that Trump changing the name to Lake of America and Gulf of America and all that shit was real, they would change it globally, but they don't. They just change it for US users because they have to put a pacifier in the mouth of the president because he's a titty baby. And so that shows me just they absolutely know they're being complicit. They absolutely know they're capitulating and they don't give a shit because they want more because enough is never enough.
11:37It's so true. I agree. And the guys at South Park, they just get it. They always get it and they always stand up. And one of the, you know, the only other thing that this reminds me of a bit is the law firms when they all capitulated. But then you had a few law firms that fought back that chose the path, the more difficult path of standing up and having courage to take these matters to court. And what do you know? They prevailed in the long run. And then you have these law firms now that are all stuck with Donald Trump and the agreements and the suck up and all the stuff associated with that. And for these corporate billionaires, and I think Apple has a net worth bigger than the size of many countries' economies, they could take a hit and do the right thing here, but they choose not to.
12:25And that's the part that's disgusting. It's just disgusting. Yeah. Okay. And then speaking of disgusting rich people, Elon Musk, it's turning out that his cuts at Doge are killing Americans. Pop this up. Doge cuts have reduced FDA food inspections by half. Foodborne illness have caused hundreds of hospitalizations and two confirmed deaths in 2026. The richest man in the world is killing the poorest and the most vulnerable. But more than anything, this is a very important message here for Democrats to take the reins from this. We want government to be run like a business. No, you don't. Businesses kill people.
13:07Let's look at the tobacco industry. Let's look at the opioid epidemic and what the Sackler family did. Let's look at big oil and the climate change. When big oil acknowledged in the 70s, in the 70s via private documents that they were contributing to climate change. And since then, instead of mitigating climate change, big oil has invested in billions of dollars of propaganda so that they can make collectively trillions of dollars. And so here we are at this let them eat cake moment. And Elon Musk, the worst, I agree that we have an immigrant problem in the United States, two in particular, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.
13:54These people have been the worst immigrants we have ever had. It's my understanding that Elon was an illegal immigrant. I want a full investigation into that before we even get to what I believe are all of the crimes he committed with Doge. And I don't know that they're crimes, but if I were to bet on it, I would think that I would probably win that bet. Every time we see something or read something about Elon Musk, he rivals Trump for being maybe the worst person in the world. I mean, they have both just these traits about them that I never read anything positive about him. And at some point, you know, this thing he did with Doge, I think we're going to find out later on how just illegal so much of this stuff is that we've heard about when you get some kind of meaningful oversight to what they did when, you know, they fired a bunch of federal workers.
14:51They shared all of your private information with Lord knows who. Like all these things they did. He is a destructive, destructive person. And all of this relates to capitalism and these guys just trying to get rich. You know, you said something about the Republicans want to run government like a business. I would change that a little bit and say the Republicans want to run government like a corrupt business. That's a good correction. Not just a business, but one that's corrupt. And here's the day. I agree with everything you said. Elon Musk went into Doge to cover his own ass and to profit for him and everybody around him.
15:33But here's the deal. At the end of the day, what I think we kind of lose sight of a little bit, Elon Musk killed people. He fired federal workers. And in the end, Doge cost the American taxpayers. There was no saving of waste, fraud, and abuse. He was the waste, fraud, and abuse that went in and made it worse. And here's the deal. I believe that there are forensic accountants and experts that could go in and make government more effective and less expensive. I think that's out there. Elon Musk wasn't the tool because he never gave a shit about that. He never gave a shit about people. He gave a shit about his bottom line in keeping himself out of jail because he himself said, if Kamala Harris wins, I'm going to jail.
16:19So this is not me just making shit up. This is from his own mouth and it cost the American taxpayer money. Yeah. And all, I mean, every single day, I mean, I don't think three days go by in America where we are not notified of some contamination in our food. And all of these are cuts. And it's important that the Democrats message that this stuff about we're so pro-life and we're so pro-family is bullshit. They're liars. They are lying. Elon Musk is the biggest deadbeat dad on the globe. There is not a bigger deadbeat dad than Elon Musk. And I want Republicans to start applying their religious sanctimony equally across the board.
17:02If you were going to criticize some Democrat because you don't think their family values enough or whatever, AOC, and you're going to call her a childless cat lady, or you're going to criticize Kamala Harris, et cetera. I want the same sanctimony and the same religious judgment applied to Elon Musk, who has been spewing in Petri dishes all over the globe and has God knows how many kids and the baby mamas have to tweet him to get his attention, to get child support. Furthermore, we need to live in a country where when somebody shows up to work tripping balls on ketamine with a black eye and their kid and the kids wiping their boogers on the desk of the oval office that there's accountability for all of that you two are in recovery for drug addiction could you show up in front of judges with a black eye tripping balls on ketamine with your kid wiping boogers on the judges podium would you possibly get a bar complaint for that absolutely if i had a chainsaw, I think I would get into a little bit of trouble in the courtroom.
18:12It would be problematic. All right. And Elon has a beautiful daughter named Vivian. Vivian is a beautiful trans person. And he just cannot, he hates his own child. And this is something exclusive to Republicans. If I had a trans child, a gay child, whatever, I wouldn't feel like I have to hate them. I would feel like as much as I love this child, I have to love them more now because the world is going to hate them. Not Elon Musk, not Republicans. They see this not as an opportunity to love people more, but as to completely betray them, disown them, and hate them. But Elon's daughter is smart. She clearly got all of her mother's genes.
18:59And here she is trolling him in a new commercial. Let's play the clip. He was designed to obey.
19:12I wasn't. Love you, Vivian. I mean, that's just for all of the hate of your father. Just know that there are millions of us that love you and love your strength and your courage in your community. And And we will not leave trans people behind in this disgusting politics of MAGA.
