[0:00] i think i had the greatest year the greatest opening year i've read the greatest look i ended [0:06] eight wars a ninth is coming but i ended eight wars nobody's ever ended one war who's entered [0:13] one nobody trump is increasingly unhinged we say this pretty much every week but it continues to [0:20] accelerate um you know he really thought and was sold by benjamin netanyahu uh that he could do [0:30] what he did in venezuela that he could take out maduro in the same way that he could take out [0:35] the ayatollah uh i mean obviously he the united states did kill a lot of iranian leadership which [0:42] trump is calling regime change but the the power is so dispersed and the government is so entrenched [0:50] that like no they have institutions and the regime the entire structure is still in place so they [0:56] they abandoned that as an objective then trump was saying that oh they can never have a nuclear [1:02] weapon well they weren't building one there has been a fatwa on that since the really turn of the [1:08] 21st century but now they're more likely to pursue it because you killed the more conservative older [1:14] leader that was reticent to provoke israel or the united states so that has failed and uh gas prices [1:23] are through the roof people are getting really scared and uh you have inflation data that shows [1:29] that energy prices have are driving um this uh level of of inflation um up four percent in march which [1:42] is the highest year over year gain in three years so people are panicked and trump isn't going to show it [1:49] but he is desperate to find some sort of way to declare victory when everybody knows that he's lost [1:56] so he wants the war to be over and kind of betrays that fact in an interview with maria bartiromo i had [2:04] to divert because if i didn't do that right now you would have iran with a nuclear weapon and if they [2:11] had a nuclear weapon you would be calling everybody over there sir and you don't want to do that well you [2:17] keep saying was is this war over i think it's close to over yeah i mean i view it as very close to over [2:24] you know what if i pulled up stakes right now it would take them 20 years to rebuild that country [2:31] and we're not finished we'll see what happens i think they want to make a deal very badly [2:36] i had on what terms on what terms because uh trump is now saying we're going to blockade their blockade [2:44] but the reason that the blockade is a leverage point is because is increasing gas prices in the [2:50] west so what deal can you make with them that isn't humiliating to the united states they also as we [2:57] talked about yesterday in our interview still have cards to play that the administration does not [3:03] including enlisting the houthis in yemen who control a large swath of that coastline to make [3:09] sure that another checkpoint is throttled and um that could dramatically continue to increase gas prices [3:18] so what really i think stands in the way there are two things that stand in the way of us hopefully [3:25] putting this nightmare behind us even though this will indelibly change the united states's [3:30] relationship with the region and our trade relationships going forward um the the things [3:35] that are standing in the way are uh trump's own ego and obviously the israelis um if if iran [3:47] wants to pursue a like wants to humiliate the americans they can do so they already are doing so [3:54] but is it in their best interests i'm not necessarily sure trump has these maximal maximalist demands [4:00] but iran is going to want some sort of reparations uh for the damage that he brags about inflicting [4:05] there with his illegal offensive war where we double tapped as a girl school and decimated much of [4:11] their civilian infrastructure because god they may have at one point transferred material that could [4:17] build a weapon over bridges like you know we do in every country to transport materials that's what [4:23] that's what trump did um they need money to rebuild their country so they're saying that they need want to [4:30] to uh toll on the street of hormuz they also could just need sanctions relief or have their assets [4:37] unfrozen the assets being unfrozen was a part of was the the hinge point for the 2015 jcpoa which the [4:47] entire republican party framed as us giving billions of dollars to iran acting like these were this was [4:54] taxpayer money we just unfroze their assets that's only one of the things that iran's going to have to get [5:00] for them to to to uh agree to any kind of deal with with trump trump was even floating giving taxpayer [5:07] money as a way to uh ensure uh to give to insurers so that they would allow for the ships to go through [5:16] the strait because insurance companies didn't want that to happen or weren't gonna get behind it [5:22] because of how dangerous it was so i'm just like trump is trying to get back to the jcpoa but we're gonna [5:30] but but also was literally trying to give american taxpayer money to insurance companies [5:36] in addition to the war he started where billions of dollars was spent in a day and we could pay for [5:41] college for all and then some for people with the amount of money that we spent so he is trying to [5:46] find a way to save face and i do hope iran gives him that in a very shallow way while also asserting their [5:54] sovereignty and their leverage um so that is a big obstacle and then the other obstacle of course is [6:01] the israelis they are continuing to bomb lebanon it appears that they're not you know like carpet [6:07] bombing beirut like they were when this initial ceasefire uh deal was announced probably because [6:13] the americans yanked on the leash which we can always do we could even put them in a goddamn cage if [6:19] we want to and say no more weapons no more arms we're invoking the leahy law we're cutting this [6:25] off tomorrow showing once again that both biden and trump can restrain the genocidal israelis when [6:31] they want but still they are bombing lebanon they're trying to derail this um and trump has been has shown [6:39] how pliable and susceptible he is to flattery and to manipulation and it becomes more and more obvious [6:46] as he gets older and older here he is talking about how uh we're probably going to lose the midterms [6:54] and uh no one can explain why because we've been so successful and he spoke to some people deep in [7:03] the psychological world about this you know he he's doing some real self-care yeah and deep in the [7:13] country why do i lose the midterms right can you tell me thought leader please um here he is just [7:20] kind of being like hey i'm gonna do what i want to do sorry republicans you're just there's nothing that [7:26] i can do differently to help us uh win the midterms let me just ask you about the midterms do you expect [7:33] the republicans to lose seats in the house and what does that mean for your agenda well i just left with [7:38] mike johnson and some great people some great congressmen and women and in the oval office i think [7:46] we're going to do good and women oh wait can you pause it for a sec just because i wanted to point [7:50] this out from when from the initial clip you're gonna you would be calling everybody sir [7:58] you mean like you demand everyone call you what does she call it sequiously right like [8:03] did she oh mr president or sir no you wouldn't just be calling me sir you'd be calling every man [8:10] sir all 200 of their hitlers over there yeah you know that's why we bomb that girl's school it's [8:16] because we care so much about women's ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with men and not use [8:20] formalities anyway just the oval office i think we're going to do good now with that being said when [8:28] somebody gets elected president that party always loses the midterms i don't know why i don't know [8:35] why nobody could explain it i asked people that are deep into the psychological world i said why is it [8:41] that a voter votes for the opposite party it's even when you have a good president i think i had the [8:46] greatest year the greatest opening year i've read the greatest look i ended eight wars a ninth is coming [8:55] but i ended eight wars nobody's ever ended one war who's ended one nobody [9:01] we have the biggest tax cuts ever we have the biggest can you pause it okay nobody has ever [9:08] ended one war and everyone that's ever happened is still going and and trump is gonna start and [9:14] end this ninth war which he's bragging about you can't count the ones you started to be honest [9:19] right exactly those should be the rules okay bro if you want to tally up all the wars you've [9:25] ended you can't start wars to end them that's called stacking the rules you i know that that's [9:30] the kind of thing that you do with your golf swing you don't count it you hide balls you don't take [9:35] rounds of molly right again the rounds of mulligan yeah um you know what could also explain potentially [9:43] what is going to happen hopefully inshallah to the republicans in the midterms is the fact that trump's [9:48] approval rating is like one of the worst in history at this time in presidency it's the worst in history [9:53] um like we're talking bush 2007 levels but he's not even halfway through his first term that could be [10:00] a part of the explanation it's more scientific than it is psychological so i'm not sure if he [10:04] would accept the analysis but um this it's more like data driven that is a ouija board no i i haven't [10:15] looked deep into the soul of america to figure out why they hate what the republicans are doing but it [10:20] could have something to do with the fact that the economy's falling apart he's starting a war that he [10:24] said he would never start and uh we're rounding up people and throwing them into camps and that was [10:30] what they this administration said was going to solve the economy and the economy's getting worse [10:35] could be something like that or just that neither party's ever delivered for a long long time right [10:41] it's very easy to figure out i mean i don't have a psychology degree but that's how i feel that our [10:45] government is corrupted and no one likes it right yeah that's a big part of like the american experience [10:51] right now but um i mean he had like two shitty divorced parents and we're like switching our [10:57] christmas every year i wouldn't know anything about that relation cuts the greatest economy ever [11:06] pretty much including the fact that i took a detour into a rend in order to stop detour something that [11:12] would have just could have destroyed the world okay was it a war or is the detour because he just [11:19] called it a war and something that could have destroyed the world there is one country that has [11:26] dropped nuclear weapons on civilians it's us it's us i mean what we did to japan is unconscionable [11:36] let's like not pretend and there are two nuclear armed powers that have offensively bombed the country [11:42] that we're saying is going to build a bomb to destroy the world why wouldn't they build a bomb [11:46] as a deterrent keep going even when you have a great president they tend to lose the midterms [11:57] it doesn't make sense to me so we're going to try turning it around you know in 50 years i guess [12:03] the the president the person the party with the president has won twice why that happens i don't know [12:11] we are really working hard to turn that around we've had the greatest year in the history of the [12:15] presidency first year and we should be giving credit look at the border so we had a border that [12:22] was an open sieve you covered it better than anybody so is that i should get i should get credit [12:29] i think we should well i think we have to bring it back to talk we don't need help on the border [12:36] but you know i built over a thousand miles of wall i we have to talk about it because we should be [12:43] given credit for having taken this disaster where people were criminals were coming in from all over [12:49] the world and pouring into our country the worst thing it's the worst thing that's ever happened it [12:54] was like an invasion and we should be given maria credit for it so i'm going to be talking she looks [12:59] at her notes and he tries to get her attention maria hey hey my eyes are up here yeah hey hey pay [13:05] attention to me and call me sir also when he says he's working really hard in the midterms i think [13:11] that means what installing ice at voting polls hey also focusing on the ballroom because the what is [13:19] the midterms without a big celebration after okay um she's trying to get him on message like coaching [13:26] him like like a little child like hey and and and what is your message i know you're going on a little [13:32] bit of a tangent here but what is the the core of the assignment that the teacher gave to you which [13:38] is to give voters something to vote for oh immigration and then he goes off on some tangent [13:42] about that i'm a victim i'm a victim i'm a baby yeah credit yes right right me me me me so what is [13:48] your message there they they thought that they could ride this immigration stuff for because on polling [13:55] it's their best issue but trump is now underwater on their best issue um you know why because turns out [14:01] warehousing hundreds of thousands of people deporting hundreds of thousands of people [14:06] has not improved our economy um you can't separate that from from the border like he's talking about [14:12] he's trying to talk about the border wall but everybody immediately thinks of ice shooting people [14:16] in the street yes when they think about that yes which is fun because sometimes pollsters will [14:20] separate border enforcement and immigration in their polling stupid because mentally nobody can do that [14:25] exactly i mean he's underwater on both but he's slightly better from my understanding on border so [14:31] that's why he's trying to pivot there but he's not artful enough to do it and when you're historically [14:36] unpopular on everything and the goal that you said that immigration was that that this brutal immigration [14:43] crackdown was supposed to achieve isn't happening construction is slowing across the country um housing in [14:49] general is in really bad shape because mortgage rates are ticking up again um the there was uh [14:57] they were coming down slightly you know trump was trying to bully the fed about that but what do you [15:01] know when energy prices uh explode due to this war that you started and inflation is and ended [15:15] i forgot about that wish my nobel peace prize oh my god they need to make one for him so he'll stop [15:22] the biggest one ever yes yes right make it bigger than machado just physically we doubled obama's we [15:30] changed the design and we allowed baron to come up with an idea um when that doesn't happen and you're [15:39] like people aren't sadists like stephen miller they don't like for the most part unless they're [15:45] already voting for you and like are the triple trumpers as jennifer welch would say and are still [15:51] in a part of the country that approves of of what he's doing um they don't want to see families [15:58] getting ripped up they don't want to see people getting shot in the street by ice they're not they [16:02] don't get like a hard-on from that in the way that stephen miller does they were sold and and their [16:08] racism people's reflexive racism it makes it easier to make this case but they were sold that this would [16:15] help their lives it's not helping their lives the the economy is getting worse you don't feel safer [16:22] when you go to sleep don't feel safer uh don't necessarily feel safer at all i don't uh i'd be [16:29] pretty afraid that iran if you actually think the terrorists are coming for us i don't but iran would [16:35] have every incentive to attack us on u.s soil based on what we did we killed their leader we bombed a [16:42] girls school like that doesn't make me feel safer but even on the economy housing construction is slowing [16:48] they can't get people to there's no people on job sites in addition to the uh the the interest rates [16:54] ticking up existing home sales uh fell to a nine month low as we get into spring when it's supposed [17:02] to be home buying season um inflation is ticking up the all trump cares about is the stock market but [17:11] if that ai bubble burst with which ed zitron has been saying is going to happen and it i my the all [17:17] indications show that it's obviously well uh over inflated and uh not worth what the stock market [17:25] says yeah we're we're going to be in in in real trouble here economically and trump's like yeah [17:33] americans are racist i get it but they're not seeing any material gains for their racism being [17:39] implemented and so the border stuff you can say i'm focusing on the southern border and immigration [17:45] enforcement all you want bro but when it's not tied to the economy you're screwed you're screwed [17:54] um so one more clip from this this interview that i found uh quite amusing oh and and just to point out [18:01] he is kind of he did have that stat at the top of his head correct about um the the house actually [18:07] in particular he's focused on the house in that response um about midterm gains so it has only [18:14] happened two times in the past 50 years bill clinton in 1998 uh saw democrats they gained seats in the [18:23] house and then in 2002 after 9 11 bush gained some seats in the house um and also gained senate seats [18:29] which is the last time that that has happened in 50 years when the party in power gained seats in both [18:34] the house and the senate so he's correct about that um but that was 9 11 nationalism history says a [18:40] different story about this approval rating this level of activation the senate is in play and he [18:48] should start to maybe worry about that a little but he can't stay on message because he doesn't actually [18:52] care about the republicans that's his best asset to us is that he hates his supporters and the republican [18:58] party just as much as we do yeah he's disgusted by anybody who doesn't have at least two bill yeah and [19:05] he and he says he likes to surround himself with losers because it makes him feel better another [19:12] wonderful you know kind of insight as he deteriorates but um you know we want this war to end as we've [19:21] said what material gains are we going to get from this to make it look like not an abject surrender on [19:29] iran's own terms well trump has an idea that's going to impact you and me do we still have the same [19:37] relationship with italy right now and george maloney no no she's been uh negative anybody that turned us [19:44] down for helping with this uh iran situation we do not have the same relationship just so you know [19:52] italy gets a lot of oil from the straight you can call it the street of hormones or the harmos straight [19:59] i said which is better they said either is okay but you can call it either one the only thing you can't [20:05] call it is the trump straight they don't like that idea by the way speaking of that i did a thing that [20:11] people like very much except for mexico i took the gulf of mexico we now call it the gulf of america [20:17] that's not bad and google changed it i know that and google did you and by the way google is great on [20:22] that did you see by the way google is great on that she tries to get him back on track again he's he gets so [20:30] fixated on these vanity moments like all self-indulgence a grievance that's all he [20:36] understands it's true i mean and and it it's getting worse as he deteriorates it's becoming a [20:42] larger larger part of his brain i'm also very impressed with his ability to make every chair [20:47] look like a toilet oh yes i mean it's that dump truck lumpy orange ass uh although i'm sure he doesn't [20:58] spray tan that part god i'd imagine the tan line differences somebody is spray tanning that they [21:03] deserve all of the money millions of dollars i hope that he doesn't steal your wages like he does for [21:09] almost every other worker um he also sounds a little bit like biden did at the end like he's [21:13] getting that like whispery yeah yeah yeah yeah and trailing off um speaking of biden at some event [21:20] brought up some black guy on stage he said looks like obama um but he's a demon and deserves a [21:28] rotten hell joe biden but it's getting into elder abuse like stop putting him in public exactly i [21:33] thought you were just sit on rehoboth beach and just it can't be up decompose there please [21:40] um i mean like god we can't get you tried in the hague for committing genocide can you at least [21:45] not subject us to seeing your face um anyway but uh i do like him going after maloney a little bit too [21:53] like it's kind of you're not the same person anymore you broke my heart yeah i thought beautiful i [21:59] thought you were special turns out i should have known that that that dye job was fake you but blonde [22:06] italian no such thing no such thing i like my blondes naturally to see my kids how they turned out but [22:15] also uh so when he says we have anybody who turned us down with iran yeah that's the whole world except [22:22] israel yep yeah so so he said fuck you to everybody but israel it is us and israel against the world [22:28] baby yeah that really is that germany japan thing you were talking about yes yes italy yes yes right [22:37] right that's what yeah trump is trump is upset that yeah italy isn't joining into our axis of evil this [22:43] time they were like we've tapped out okay we've been down this road we've been down this road please [22:50] look we'll we'll match you on hating immigrants and letting migrants drown in the sea maloney's all for [22:56] that but i don't know if we want to join the international axis of epstein just quite yet [23:04] buddy um well uh cold dog says i call her fredo maloney exactly cankles uh mctaco tit says maloney used to [23:16] maloney used to be a solid eight hey folks
