Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00Donald Trump returned to Washington, D.C. He couldn't stand up straight. On Monday morning, he held a bizarre press event at the Bible Museum. Yes, Donald Trump holding an event at the Bible Museum. And this was a complete and utter disaster from the outset. Donald Trump started attacking former President Joe Biden at the Bible Museum event and said that Biden and the prior administration were mean people because of the things they did to J6, the things they did to the January Sixers, that that's what makes them very mean, Donald Trump says at this Bible event this morning. Hear a play this clip.
0:42In the Oval Office, they were stone cold mean. But Joe Biden and the Biden, they were mean people. What they did to people, what they did to J6, what they did to so many people, they were mean people. These were really radical, horrible people. Then at this Bible Museum event this morning, Donald Trump says crime is virtually eliminated in Washington, D.C., which is not the case. But then he says, and my people, they bring me these stats that show husbands beating their wives and they want to call that crime. Domestic violence shouldn't be viewed as crime. This is crime. What are they talking about?
1:23He says it basically like that. Listen to what he says here. Play this clip. Now, it's more than 87 percent, virtually nothing. and much lesser things, things that take place in the home they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say, this was a crime, see? So now I can't claim 100%. But we are a safe city. You can walk to a restaurant. You can walk to the White House if you work there. You can walk to the Capitol. And even the Democrats, I can't believe it, but they don't want to admit it, but I can't believe it. We could do the same thing in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles.
2:00us. We did it. We saved Los Angeles. Yes, Donald, domestic violence is a crime. When a individual beats another individual, in the example you give, when a man beats a woman, I know that's hard for you to understand. That's called a crime, Donald. And then speaking of that, then Donald Trump says about the mayor of Washington, D.C., who has sued Donald Trump, by the way. I mean, Washington, D.C. has sued the Trump administration for their unlawful invasion. He goes, look, Mayor Bowser of DC, she's going to do whatever I say. And whether she likes it or not, I'm just going to do it. If she allows it, great.
2:46And if she doesn't allow it, I'm going to do it to her anyway. Yeah, this sounds exactly what Epstein's best friend would say, Donald. Here, play this clip. National Guard working with the police, working with the mayor. The mayor has, you know, that's not her ideology, and now I think it maybe is her ideology. She's taking a lot of heat, too, from the radical left. You know, they don't like that she's allowing it. But, look, she's going to either allow it or we'll just do it, because, you know, it's just... She understands.
3:20She understands that. Then a delusional, deranged, sickly, cognitively addled Donald Trump continues down this line that he saved Los Angeles, that the city would not exist. But for Donald Trump sending National Guard troops and Marines into Los Angeles who didn't even really have their equipment and didn't know what to do. So they basically slept on the floor for a few weeks. And he goes, that saved Los Angeles. And this is in addition to his previous remarks that he put out all of the wildfires in Los Angeles by turning on a magical faucet on the border between California and Canada because he thinks Canada borders California and all this Northwest water.
4:07Whoosh, put out the fires when in fact what he did was after the fires were 100 % contained, 100 % contained. He went to Northern California, emptied reservoirs that were filled with two billion gallons of water that farmers needed and deprive them of the water that they needed for their harvests. But anyway, play this clip. And even the Democrats, I can't believe it, but they don't want to admit it. But I can't believe it. We could do the same thing in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. We did it. We saved we saved Los Angeles. We saved Los Angeles. And you know that Los Angeles was a mess. If we didn't send our troops in, Gavin Newsom would have had a real problem.
4:50We sent our troops. The head police officer, the top person, said we could have never done this alone. We sent our troops right in at the beginning, and we killed it. And it was nasty, but we killed it immediately, immediately. And I don't know why Chicago isn't calling us saying, please give us help. When you have, over just a short period of time, 50 murders and hundreds of people shot, And then you have a governor that stands up and says how crime is just fine. It's really crazy. But we're bringing back law and order to our country. Then Donald Trump said, I'm not really sure why politicians care about the issue of transgender women playing sports.
5:35He goes, at the end of the day, just focus on it during elections. Like, this is not an issue we need to care about now. or talk about when the elections come, then let's bring it up to divide the country. I mean, he tells you what the playbook is. They don't care about anything other than manipulating Americans, dividing people to get their votes and then to do things to screw them over. Here, play this clip. And not only that, the Democrats don't want to give it up. I watched a congressman fighting like crazy this weekend for men having the right to play in women's sports. and they don't understand.
6:13But I don't want to really fight them on that. I tell all the Republicans, let them go. Let them go. Just bring it up about a week before the election because you don't want to talk about it. But they say it's an 80-20 issue. I say, Dan, it's a 97-3 issue, okay? Then Donald Trump brags how he gets involved in museums now, like the Smithsonian. He said, because all the Smithsonian did was talk about the problems in America, which is just not true if you've been to the Smithsonian Museum. They're beautiful museums, and now they're turning it into regime-led museums that are like going to delete references to slavery, delete references to America's past, delete references to Donald Trump's convictions and impeachments.
7:03Anyway, play this clip. Great job. Everybody's talking about it. I got a little involved with museums, you know, because I had a little problem with the Smithsonian. We like a little more positivity. It was all about all the bad things in our country. I said, what about the good things we've done? So I got a little involved. I got a little involved with that.
7:27And they're making, honestly, they're making changes. You know, they were also told what to do by people that came before me, in all fairness. But they're making changes. Big changes are being made at the Smithsonian. But I just want to thank the Green family. Then Donald Trump says that really so much progress has been made in the last eight months. Progress like nobody's ever seen before. I wouldn't say progress, but over the past eight months, you've managed to destroy America's economy, the number one global economy and a country that was leading the free world and viewed generally as a leader.
8:03You managed to destroy it in record time. And now America's weaker than ever. the dollar's crashing, farmers are suffering, prices are up, war in Ukraine is raging based on Russia's invasion, atrocities being committed in Gaza every day. And you go and claim that you resolve seven to 10 wars. You just make things up. You claim you brought in$17 trillion, which you didn't anyway. Here, play this clip. That's what we're doing. We're in a golden age. We're at the very beginning of a golden age. So much progress has been made in the last eight months progress like nobody's ever seen before. They're writing about it.
8:40They're actually saying it. They've never seen anything like what's happened in the last eight months. Let's be honest. Most of us are tired, stressed, and dealing with some kind of pain. And what do we do? We power through because the last thing we want is another prescription. And let's face it, nothing in the medicine cabinet ever actually works.

10:33you know we're getting hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements pam and leo called me up sir you can do better than that i said what am i gonna do i'm gonna get one where he really likes it but he always said everyone else says that's amazing except for leo he says sir you could have gotten more oh good thanks leo then he brags about removing some blue tent that was up in front of the white house area in lafayette park and he talks about oh we got it he goes he goes someone from the fake news media tipped me off about the about the blue tent the first off it was marjorie taylor green's boyfriend who did it so yeah it was fake media brian glenn and he said, are you going to get rid of the blue tent?
11:18And then you're like, I'm devoting our resources to get rid of the blue tent. And now you keep on talking about the blue tent. I mean, do you realize how weak you make us look internationally when you're talking about getting rid of the blue tent? And play this clip. We had a blue tent right on Lafayette and they seemed to have a permit. And one of the fake news media was asking me the other day, what about the blue tent? What blue tent? because all the tents you got, somehow these people were very well connected with the communist cause. And I said, there's a tent up there? Really? Yeah. And he was a friendly reporter for a change.
11:54He said, it's terrible that the tent, I said, I didn't know that. I'm surprised that I checked and it was. And we got it down very quickly. It's down. It's down. It wasn't easy. People chained themselves to a tree and this and that, but that's okay. They can chain themselves if they want. That was a tough one. That's been there for years. It's been there for many years. We took it down, came down very quickly, Pam. Good job, Donald. The blue, the blue tent, the blue tent that Brian Glenn told you about. Donald Trump that says we're in a much different world than we were a year ago. Big understatement right there.
12:29Here, play this clip. I will tell you it's a whole, we're in a much different world today than we were one year ago. This is like a
12:39Donald Trump said that he just left the Middle East. His Middle East trip was back in May, four or five months ago. He didn't just leave the Middle East. Then he also lies and says that they gave him five or six trillion dollars in the Middle East. Even though he went to countries like the UAE, their entire annual GDP is like$440 billion. Qatar, their entire annual GDP is like$150 billion. So no, they didn't give you$5 trillion, but play this clip.
13:35It's true. It's true in every way.
13:39And Donald Trump says when you have horrible killings, you have to take horrible actions. We'd love to go into Chicago and straighten it out. You have to take horrible actions. What's this guy even talking? This is what you're saying at the Bible Museum here. Play this clip. And, you know, when you have horrible killings, you have to take horrible actions. And the actions that we take are nothing. We this cashless bail started a wave in our country where a killer kills somebody and is out on the street by the afternoon. In many cases, going out and killing again, cashless bail. And you try and reason with people like in Chicago with the governor and the mayor.
14:21You try and reason with them. And it's like you're talking to a wall. It's just doesn't I assume it's just a political ideology. They're not stupid people. Must be an ideology that's just buried in their head and you can't do a damn thing about it. And we'd love to go into Chicago and straighten it out. You know, Washington, D.C., you'll be happy to know, is a free and safe zone. It's so safe right now.
14:49And then you have his sycophants at the Bible Museum saying, oh, let's all pray for Donald. And he's brought back the Bible. Here is Donald Trump's housing and urban development secretary, Scott Turner, who leads the morning prayer. And he's like, Father, we thank you for Donald Trump and for anointing him. Here, play this clip. Father, we thank you for our president, Donald J. Trump. Father God, who you have anointed and appointed for this time, for such a time as this. Lord, thank you that the president prioritizes prayer. father god that he sees the power the importance the priority of praying together as a people as a country yeah again just so utterly pathetic right there oh and then just so you can see brian glenn marjorie taylor green's boyfriend the one who told donald trump get rid of the tent here he is in drag he would dress frequently in drag when he was a failed tv host back in the day And this is the guy who also says that liberal women are all ugly.
15:52Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend is saying that, you know, liberal women are the ugliest women out there. OK, Brian, play this clip. Liberal women tend to be some of the ugliest women I've ever seen. And I'm serious. I mean, zero makeup. They take no pride in them. Well, they want to be men. They take no pride in their in their in their dress, their attire, their makeup, their haircut. Half of them look like men. Hairy armpits, hairy legs. Come on, that is not embracing what it means to be a woman. Some other news to report this morning as well. Apparently, Trump's Treasury Secretary, Scott Besant, almost got into another fistfight with Donald Trump's Department of the Fair Housing Administrator, Bill Pulte, at a private dinner with Trump allies last week.
16:39Treasury Secretary Scott Besant threatened to punch housing finance official Bill Pulte in the effing face. Politico reports, Besson had heard from several people that Pulte was bad-mouthing him to Trump. Why the F are you talking to the president about me? F you. I'm going to punch you in your effing face. I'm going to effing beat your ass, Besson told a stunned Pulte. It's the regime right there. Pulte's the one who accuses all of Donald Trump's enemies of mortgage fraud, which they then refer to the DOJ. And then Donald Trump uses that to try to fire people for cause or to attack his political enemies.
17:16Meanwhile, 25 % of Trump's cabinet has the same primary mortgage box checked. And Ken Paxton from Texas, and it's purely weaponized against Trump's political opponents. Well, there you have it. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million subscribers.
