They want ferocious ruthless opposition. They want Donald Trump removed They see gas prices record high diesel prices record high the never ending Astrophic War that Donald Trump got us into with Netanyahu continues Trump continues to lie claims we control the Strait of Hormuz the price of oil and common sense Dictates otherwise as does the fact that we continue to see Iran strike tankers in the Strait of Promoos So Donald Trump can say I've de-mined the Strait of Promoos That's what the new lies are about not about the fake deal anymore with Iran He's kind of moved on to we've never had so many ships leave a Navy destroyer demined the Strait of Hormuz And like our former allies because the US doesn't have allies anymore like There are still minds in the Strait of Hormuz like this guy's lying about everything Oh, and what about economic D-Day remember that You probably don't anymore because treasury secretary Scott Besson just a complete and utter clown We will be issuing the most severe sanctions against any country any Country that does business with Iran well China's foreign ministry spokesperson Zeta Okay, we don't acknowledge what you're saying.

We already announced a new $25 billion investment in Iran's nuclear capabilities And so we're going to lean in maybe do more we already see more Russian workers going into Iran right now to Do more work on the Bouchir nuclear plant as well as the new investment which is going to be new nuclear plants in Iran So well done, Donald Donald the world is very scared of you so with all of this going on with America's Economy, absolutely tanking with the American people suffering with no nation taking the United States seriously anymore with the US having depleted its weapons You know one trillion dollar military budget last year and they want 1.5 trillion more We've run out of weapons under the idiotic and disgusting Non-leadership of Hegsif and all of these idiots who pushed out our top generals So just like the movie South Park that I grew up with where it was Such a farce and a parody that the US would blame Canada for all of its problems Donald Trump does that let's blame Canada and say it's all Canada's fault. They literally did blame Canada and then today Donald Trump said we are changing the name of Lake Ontario and we're going to name it Lake America That's going to show them and then Prime Minister Carnies like you do realize that Ontario comes from the indigenous people here And Ontario means basically great lake or big lake and it predates Canada it predates the US you realize like in the United States There are places called Ontario also because it is it's not a Canadian word you idiot And so this is the performative disgusting stuff that Donald Trump was doing all day And then he went off with Natalie and we've got footage of him leaving with Natalie and they're heading to fundraisers or whatever the hell they're doing I want to bring in Breton Jordy and we have a lot to discuss on this episode and brothers I wanted to mention all of those things before getting into the clips and what's happening Because I think that it's problematic if depressed just reports Donald Trump does crazy thing Whatever it is You know the same way Donald Donald Trump says that he loves Kim Jong-un right that was the earlier this week or last week That's part of Trump's weapon of mass distraction technique And he wants us to just focus on that It's important that we recognize the why is he doing this because he wants someone to blame Because he's destroyed the United States because he's run out of the Ponzi scheme rope And the American people don't want to be rope adoked anymore in this Trump regime chaos Breton Jordy great to see you Great to see you to Ben great to see you Jordy great to see you might as mighty And it's also an important that we flag all of that at the top Because it's only going to become more and more of this BS as we approach the midterm elections The name of the game with Donald Trump is distract it's divide and you're going to see a whole lot of that You're going to see a whole lot of name calling a whole lot of attacking marginalized communities A whole lot more kind of lake Ontario things And they want to do everything to keep the to keep Donald Trump's actual record And the record of these Republicans out of the headlines I mean we're literally seeing that now in reporting like recent reporting from the Atlantic Which says an inside source in the administration says that they do not want Iran and the headlines At all as we approach the midterms Well maybe don't get us into this ridiculous illegal dangerous war of choice If you don't want people to actually speak about it But when you go down the list of just about everything when you look at the economy When you look at how people are doing with affordability When you're looking at gas prices when you're looking at Quite literally everything our weapons stockpiles like good. They're all the stuff been named It's a disaster. It's a disaster. So Donald Trump needs to say Look over there. Look over there. Focus on this. Get angry at this That's basically the plan and then in a nutshell And that's what he's going to continue to do and continue to ratchet up We're going to speak about this and more on this episode And I want to say Jordy congrats man as well Jordy an incredible feature in the Pittsburgh City paper Hope you all get a chance to check it out on it Just like a Pittsburgh City paper.

I know Brett very confusing way to start this show. No, it uh Not yet. Uh, it could happen any moment like literally any moment could happen live right now again This is the only hour of the day when I do this show that I am not right next to my wife I don't think you're gonna make it to the show. I'm not gonna lie. I told I told mama that I said we are getting very close All that to say very excited for tonight show Benji where we started off tonight big bro Guess let's start off in that room that looks like a bunch of piss. It's the oval office piss yellow at this point. It just looks absolutely gross, but the manifestation of the walking piss That's in the oval office Donald Trump had a big announcement that he wanted to make today a big announcement What you gonna make ass prices lower? No You might guy the guy just looks ridiculous though too like I mean for those on audio I mean the guy like literally looks like cartoonishly red and orange at this point decrepit rotting like it's uh Very like it is a very bizarre thing to like even like look at this guy and be like what what what what am I even looking at But was he gonna talk about I don't know helping americans afford a home. No. Is he gonna talk about gay? the price of diesel under control? No. Any updates with Iran? No. What you're going to talk about? I don't know. I mean, our farmers are struggling right now. Anything you're going to be helpful? No. What about the lobster min in May? No. Okay. So what's this about? You're going to rename Lake Ontario. You do realize that the word Ontario is not a Canadian word. You know, that it came from the indigenous people that were there that Lake Ontario predates the United States and Canada. And there are lots of places called Ontario in the United States because it literally means big lake or largely like you do you do you do you do you know you don't realize that because no, the Trump regime has spent the last 24 hours posting weird memes of Eagles attacking Canada Goose. I Canada Goose. But then it turns out in the video that the Canada Goose actually beat the eagle in the video. You may want to actually get some context when you post things. But like everything the Trump regime does, there's no they do it. It's mean. It's cruel. And then it's also incompetent. What would they post yesterday as well? They posted the Churchill movie. The Churchill movie where Churchill references calling out the tiger and the tiger was Hitler and the way the Trump regime edited Trump was Hitler. And so they made a video that Trump was Hitler. And by the way of all the departments to make this post, it was the Department of Education. It's like we truly are living in an idiocracy right now. It's everything. I never imagined that when authoritarian came to America, authoritarianism came to America. It'd just be so stupid. You had the musician. What's the guy's name? Jelly Roll. He hosted Jimmy Kimmel as a guest host. And he did a joke because he had lost a lot of weight recently. And so he said about Donald. He's like, hey, you know, you got you got to drop, you know, at least 100 pounds or whatever, you know, that his own 300 pound weight loss meant that he lost an entire Donald Trump because he lost 300 pounds. And then he went on to say that if Donald Trump lost some more weight, maybe don't give Donald Trump lost 100 pounds or 200 pounds, you may be able to see your penis was the joke. And then all of MAGA was like jellyfish, you're no longer MAGA. Jellyfish. Jellyfish. Jellyfish. Jelly Roll. Jellyfish. That was not intentional for those that no bad. He that was jellyfish. You are banned jellyfish. Mr. Fish. That's what MAGA. It's a Mr. Fish. You are banned from MAGA, Mr. Fish. But no, you had all these MAGA Congress members are like, you're no longer invited. You're no longer MAGA. You sold out. You have TDS. It's like, okay, these people are the most deranged people ever. Seriously, you have MAGA Republican Congress member Patronus more angry about that joke than the fact that Americans have had their health care ripped away in his state and that American people are suffering. But I didn't even. So we got all that happening. Donald Trump in the Oval Office, it's a big thing that he's talking about is we're renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America. And he rolls this out like in an official executive order meeting. I'll show it to you. Let's play. And finally, I guess the purpose of this more than anything else is we're going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario effective immediately to Lake America. That's going to take place right now as I sign the order. Do you have anything to say about it? Yes, sir. So this is a straightforward but important executive order. It directs Secretary Bergen at the Department of the Interior to update the geographic names information service to reflect that like once known as Lake Ontario will from the state for it be known as Lake America. Like if you told me this was an SNL skit, I would be like now I gave you like the guy even speaking there. Sir, this is a relatively straightforward and good order. What we're going to be doing like this clown, you have Steve and Miller. These are all a bunch of loser frickin weirdos in the oval office. But unfortunately, it's profoundly dangerous. These are profoundly, I say weapons of mass distraction, but these are profound manifestations of weapons of mass destruction, causing a huge amount of damage to the United States generationally and most likely irreparably. And you know, you have Donald Trump the way that he said what a lot of people were pointing out that the acronym for the Great Lakes used to be Homes, H-O-M-E-S, and with Donald Trump's executive order. Another reason why you want a Department of Education that there are people that are smart and government is it now spells shame if you change Lake Ontario to Lake America. So another genius move by the Trump regime here. I mean, it certainly is shame for the United States. And so a reporter said to Donald, are you concerned that Putin has announced publicly with the Ron, the Ron's president, right? You just announced economic D-Day against it all tough. That they will be holding a meeting next week in China. It's part of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting to talk about the $25 billion investment by Russia into Iranian nuclear plants. Like, like, did you all hear every word I just said? Russia, Iran, China, $25 billion nuclear in Iran. So all of those things Donald, right? Does that cause you any concern over here about anything? There is reports that Liner, who is meeting with the president of Iran to talk about a nuclear agreement next state. Is there concern in the administration and the White House that these countries are taking economic D-Day seriously that they're going to continue doing business? Oh, they're doing business. Iranians, now they're not paying their troops. They're in deep trouble. They have very little capacity. Last night, we took 24 boats through the street. We're taking them through all the time. We say it very openly. It doesn't mean we're finished with the military, but we are this trade is open. As you know, the street of hormones is open. We have control and we have the blockade. Iran's not getting anything. Nothing is going through. Not one ship is not-- You punish Putin or Russia if they can-- Well, it depends. It depends so far. I think Russia's behaved quite well having to deal with the street of hormones. And you have to understand, for everything they do, we do also. You know, somebody was saying about China. What about China? We hear this fine. We spy in them too. By the way, did you see that even before the question was asked and the person was like, you know, are you concerned? No. No. You didn't hear what the question was. Are you concerned that Russia is building nuclear plants in Iran and they're doing meetings in China with Xi Jinping? No. We do it too. Not concerned at all. Okay, then what does concern you? If that does-- Oh, I know what does. Canada concerns you. You're spending your time attacking Canada today while these other countries-- Russia's been very good to us in Hormuz. They've been good. They've been giving the weapons to Iran. Iran gives the weapons to Russia. In what world have they been good? They've helped Iran target and kill American service members. It's pretty obvious. That's what's helping Iran find some of these targets. But no, in this narrative, Russia good, China good, Kim Jong Un, great. Canada. The nastiest people, breathed there. The nastiest people to Donald Trump. But he's a demented. You can't have a-- This is when you watch these shows and you'll have like a Scott Jennings and then someone debate a Scott Jennings on CNN. You can't debate. These are garbage humans. These people are absolute trash and they hate America. They're traders in my opinion because they engage in behavior that in my opinion. It's like, what are you doing? If you support this, that means you're supporting people attacking America in my opinion. Well, the thing is like those shows give credence to their point of views, which are just blatant lies. And then it leaves the audience to kind of think that the truth must be somewhere in the middle. I mean, it was something that Jordy said in the Pittsburgh paper, which is, someone looks outside and you see a blue sky. And someone says the sky's blue. Someone says the sky's orange. You shouldn't be led to believe that the color of the sky is somewhere in between blue and orange. It's blue. And you don't need to have somebody screaming at you insisting that it's orange in the case of like a Scott Jennings or whatever. By the way, I know I did awfully like busy lately and then we all did busy. Did I miss economic D day? I thought that was supposed to happen on Monday. Did they forget? I was like, what happened to economic D day? Do you know what they did? They had treasury secretary Bessent. He did an announcement. Do you remember he did the announcement? He did a letter in an announcement. He did a letter, then he did an announcement, and then he was asked, why are you not actually going to implement D day? Because actual D day, there was an invasion of the day of and there was a few letters in advance. And then Bessent said, why would I destroy the global economy? I need to work with it. And then China is on. Good question, Scott. Yeah, Good questions. He did write a very strong slungly worded op-ed in the financial times where he talked about Blaze Pascale's wager. And he goes like blaze Pascale's wager. What we need to do, dude, you are free. They didn't see Pascale's wager being brought up once they saw Pascale's wager around was like shit. Was that the 17th century French mathematician? Oh, shit. He went 17th century blaze. He went blaze Pascale on me in a hot spot. We don't know what to do. Mr. Galibov. Mr. Galibov. Mr. Ali Toll. What do we do now? I told him Mochetaba. They are bringing out their secret weapon. Please do not say it's Blaze Pascale quotes. I have some bad news for you, sir. I have some bad news. It is a 17th century mathematician named Blaze Pascale. Jordy Poppett. I'm just saying if, if, if jellyfish could comment on this, I'd be curious to get his thoughts too. It is, it is, it, it's brutal, man. It's absolutely brutal, like Trump's big three is, I guess, renaming a golf, a lake and what is going to do an ocean that's it, it, it is so pathetic where, you know, other presidents in the past won't even name him, probably focused maybe more so on the economy, healthcare, getting people jobs, affordable housing. Maybe that was their big three, big four. Trump laser focused, renaming things. He can't stop renaming things. It is so absurd and just absolutely pathetic that we sit here. We watch that clip and like how serious, brothers, can you just describe for the audio listeners, like just how serious Trump's delivery is, you know, when he's sitting behind that desk talking about renaming, like, like America, it, it hurts me. It hurts me as someone who deeply loves this country as there is an ongoing war of choice happening as our troops die because of this ongoing war of choice by Donald Trump that his laser focus, what is he focused on? Lake America. So pathetic. Well, here's the thing, too. It is his safe space because he's a loser and he's pathetic, which is blame, right? He blames everybody else, blame Canada, quite literally the parody from South Park, blame Canada for your own problems. And then what does he do? He's a fraud and he just names things. If you think about what he does, this is what he, I mean, it kind of looks like a ridiculous straight-of-hair moose. It means straight-of-hair moose. You know, I mean, this is someone, you know, operation midnight hammer, total obliteration, operation, epic fury, operation, or something like Project America, when it was Operation, America Project Freedom, now operation, economic outcast, operation, economic fury, okay, they just, you know, but you have to understand, again, why are they, because they're losers. And they're losing and they're failing and they want to come up with a construct and a name and a thing that makes you go, ah, got it. And that's what they do. That's how they behave. He can't do deals and he can't do the war. We should never have been in the war in the first place. But yeah, the guy who bankrupted casinos, bankrupted our military very quickly and we ran out of weapons. And so we hear now from our former allies across the world beat in Europe and Asia, you know, swear saying, the US has done, they can't protect us, the whole structure is destroyed. And these countries contributed to the US economy, it wasn't as Donald Trump's projection, oh, everyone's taking advantage of us. He's just a loser. This is what he's taught his whole life and he just comes up with fraudulent names for things and then he blames others. And I'll tell you what though, the American people know that Canada isn't the bad guy and it just shows you how demented Donald Trump is and in all states across the country. And it just so happens, particularly critical states to Donald Trump heading into the midterms as well. These states rely on trade with Canada. They know the importance of Canada trade and whether it is lumber or whether it is aluminum or nickel or electricity, whether it is uranium, whether it's other critical minerals, whether it is hospitality, whether it is, I think I said electricity, whether it's crude, you name it. Canada is a vital, vital, essential, the most important trading partner. And as we've heard from Canadian leaders and they've explained this, they said, Canada has trade deals with all G7 nations, we're the only G7 country that actually had free trade deals. The United States went on a rampage, we're the easiest country to do this. And all Americans know, Canada's friendly, they're our best friend. So Trump doing this right now just shows even more how demented he is. We're going to take our first quick break of the show, a reminder everybody. If you can please pre-order WTF America right now.

Benji, we're tonight's Big Bro. Talk about what else was going down in the Oval Office right there, reporter asked Donald Trump, like, why are you attacking America's allies? Like, what's the point of this? But why are you continuing to praise America's adversaries or who were thought of them's America adversaries? And why do you just spend every day going after, you know, like NATO and Canada and all these countries? It's a very bizarre behavior. And you'll see Donald Trump in this clip, attacks Canada and praises Xi Jinping. It's like, when I speak with Xi, we talk about how pathetic Canada is. That's what I always tell him. By the way, Xi Jinping has increased his trading capabilities with Canada as a result of the Trump's weakness. And they've been moving in more of their electric vehicles. And now more people in Canada view China more favorably than they view the United States at this point. And it's like, Donald, like, you think Xi Jinping, like, respects you, like, thinks that you're strong, like, you think Putin looks at you and says strong, no, they think you're clowns. I mean, you have the Iranian leadership mocking you on a daily basis about how weak and pathetic you are. You have all of their Iranian embassy accounts, like doing memes of you hiding in catering containers in Turkey with Natalie, while you're too afraid to board the old Air Force one. Like, you know, the laughing stock, we were like, oh, we were the laughing stock of the world. Banks, America's perceived adversaries or the traditional people we've viewed as adversaries, they're actually laughing in your face. They've never thought this could ever, so quickly, happen to the United States like this. And our former allies are terrified. They're horrified. Now, they are moving on. Like, this year, and even in these past few months, we've seen far more significant and tangible steps where other countries are like, right? The America's at US is at, like, they're not like, we have to really make sure we don't have anything to do with them anymore, or just where we need to, but we've got to phase it out and phase it out quickly. But anyway, here he is being asked, "Why are you doing this to your allies and not our adversaries?" And he answers the question by attacking Canada and praising Xi, here play this quote. Things like this towards America's allies instead of doing things that we haven't trained in as well. The Canadian officials have treated us very badly. They're nasty people. They charge our farmers for 100% tariffs. They've been doing it for a long time. And I had them figured out on my first term, and I did some pretty strong things and had it getting pretty good. And then the election was rigged, and now I'm coming back and doing it the way it and finishing the job. But they treat us very badly. Canada treats us very badly. I would say that of all countries, as you know, we have President Xi coming in a couple of weeks. We have a lot of, we deal with a lot of people, and people oftentimes they'll ask me, "Who's the worst to deal with on trade?" And I said, "That's easy, Canada." They are the worst to trade, and they feel entitled, and just we can't have that. They feel entitled for what? What do they feel entitled to? I mean, again, Trump describes himself. He feels entitled. He feels entitled to take the sovereignty of countries and to take their resources by the way, for himself to enrich himself. That's what it is. Operation economic outcast. I mean, it's just the utmost projection. He's talking about the outcasting, the United States. That's what the United States has become. You couldn't get more projection than that. I don't know. Did you see the post of M.B. Gala Bafaran's Parliament leader mocking Treasury Secretary Bessent? I think we have a photo of it as well. And you had Bessent say, "This is what Bessent posted in the morning." As the Iranian people struggle to afford basic necessities, the corrupt regime continues to squander enormous sums of broad. Instead of funneling billions of dollars to its terrorist proxies, the regime should spend that money for its people. Brett, if you're wondering what happened on economic D-Day, it's just social media posts like that. And it's the ultimate projection. Just substitute in the United States for Iran. I mean, what do you mean as the Iranian people? I don't know how Iran is going to recover from another recent Trump post because this one is just, I just don't know what they're going to do. Trump tweeted everybody, Iran is a failing nation. I thought it was a scale 17th century mathematician from France, quote, was really bad. No, it's all over. It's all over. This post right here with American flag faced, Donald Trump saying Iran is a failing nation exclamation point, DJT, that's really going to hit him where it hurts. This is what I think we just won the war. I think after that post, can you bring that back up because I also just want to comment on, you know, we just kind of let this slide. But also just the president doesn't know basic punctuation these days. Iran is capital I a failure by the way, Jordy, if you remember, when Natalie Harp's letters were revealed at the Daily Beast, Natalie Harp's letters were had punctuation and grammar exactly the way Donald Trump's posts appear on social media, random letters, capitalized. I think it's actually probably a bit of a sign that she's doing all these posts. We know that she writes his posts and so I think that's I think it's I think it's a Natalie Harp signature. She's you know, and then Iran's parliament leader, M.D. Galibov, responds to Bessent, instead of funneling billions to its terrorist proxy Israel in 750 bases, this failing empire could spend that cash on its own people. But now that make too much sense for this regime, Scotty, man, question mark, your credibility is on the line, do something and in Iran, they just mock the United States like that. But you also notice to the U.S. approaches, if we torture you enough, if we make you suffer, that's what will make you want to do a deal with me, right? That's their approach to everything. And if you listen to what the heinous rhetoric coming out is about Canada, we need to inflict more pain on Canada because if we hurt them more, what the Trump regime says, that's what all their Trump cabinet people are saying, then they'll be forced to do a deal with us. And you have to understand, Trump is a sexual predator, right? I mean, he is a predator and the Epstein class that forms his cabinet and the people he surrounds himself with also have a mindset of being predators in my opinion. And their view is that if you say no, but they keep on forcing themselves upon you, eventually you'll say yes, and that you'll want to do a deal because they're sickos, because they are truly sick, vile, trash, humans. And that's what we have to understand about them. It's not a political talk. These are Republicans, no, these are awful predators. These are demonic things that want to cause harm. And their perspective on everything is if they hurt you enough, then you will eventually say yes to them and you will let them have their way with you. They're sick, they're sick, they're sick, and you have to understand that about them. So I want to talk about what the response is in Canada, premier, Wab Kanu of Manitoba. He responded. Here's what he had to say moments ago, let's play it. You know, when like a rock band is really over the hill and you see them like in a casino playing some song from like 50 years ago, I think that's the part of Donald Trump's presidency we're at now, like he thought he had a real hit, a real golden only with the Gulf of Mexico. And he's trying to bring back that and he's trying to play the hits for his base. But I think everybody here thinks it's a little sad and it's not as best work. Charlie Angus, leader of Midas Canada.

Charlie Angus, former member of parliament, NDP party, same party as Kanu, same party as David Eby, another of my favorite premieres from British Columbia. Here's what Angus had to say, let's play it. But I would like to make an offer to the mega regime and those behind it. I think you've got to move Donald out. I think he's decrepit, I think he's creepy. I think nobody believes him. I think you need to bring Lego man from Iran. We don't know that Lego man has had anything to do with Epstein sex cases, but we know Donald Trump. His name's all over the file. I would rather, as a Canadian, negotiate with Lego man at this point, and ask for the word of what comes out of the White House. It means nothing. This guy was a criminal grip, so when it's all coming home now. That is what Canada thinks about the United States. And the world just sees that this Trump, United States, which hopefully won't be a Trump United States that much longer, is like the Trump casino in the Trump steak and the Trump board game and the Trump vodka and the Trump university and the Trump shuttles and the Trump this and the Trump dad, which all fail because the guy is pathologically a failure and a loser. And so now what they resort to, they give it all away. The game plan, the blame, the fraudulent names and the blame Canada, blame Canada, let's it right. Blame Canada. It's literally right out of the parody. It's up to the movie. But then Maga Mike was in Texas and this is where they give it all away where Maga Mike says, if Republicans lose the midterms, then the nightmare scenario will unfold. The markets will crash and America's power in the world will be destroyed and everything we built will all fall apart. We've had it. We promised you it was all right. Riches were right around the corner, 2025. That was the appetizer, 2026 was the banquet, 2027. We were about to give you the show, farmers, ranchers, manufacturing industry workers, Americans. We had it, it was right here, we set it all up perfectly for you. And then the Democrats took over and then it got ruined. So now we got to blame them and then you got to elect us back because they broke it. who need to bring us. back in and we'll fix it. This is their playbook. It's always been their playbook. The arsonist claiming that they're the firefighter. They are the arsonists. But listen, magamaik just lays it out. The reason that we are doing that is because people like you understand the stakes are so high, right? This is for all the marbles. We cannot lose this mid-term. I want you to imagine a nightmare scenario with these insurgent Marxist Democrats taking over the Congress because they would impeach the president on the first day. They've already said what they're going to do. They'll convert every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They'll spend every waking hour investigating the president and his family and the cabinet and going on this law fair exercise. It would it would royal the markets. It would undermine people's confidence in the US and the economy. It would empower our enemies across the globe at the worst possible time. We cannot allow them to do that. The problem that we have right now is that the people come behind us don't understand how dangerous these ideas are. They don't understand that socialism is a road to ruin. They don't understand that socialism is a step to get the communism. It's Marxist philosophy. They thought the communist communism would be the utopia, the perfect society. They're dead wrong. The Communists and Socialists, they're coming for you. They're going to destroy it all. We had it, guys. We did it and then they took it all away. By the way, I think that can maybe hit a little harder if everything that you've warned that the scary spooky Democrats are going to do if they take over after the midterms in the house is what's already happening under Donald Trump. He's like, they're going to royal the markets. They're going to undermine confidence in the United States. They're going to empower our enemies. Like, could you even imagine somebody who would do that? People who would do that. Yeah, the guy who's running things into the ground right now who's literally doing all of those things. I think that's a pretty obviously. Also, by the way, it makes the Democrats sound pretty badass. I'm like, I'm not going to lie. It's like they should that Democrats could just run that ad as like, you know, brought to you by the Democrats paid for by the Democrats. Let Johnson do their branding. Right. Good messaging. They're going to pitch on day one investigations into Trump and his family. I mean, I think a lot of people hear that and they go, okay, bring it on. We've been looking for a check on this regime and okay, that's how we do it. Okay. Let's try it out. Absolutely. By the way, when Johnson's up there, it just always strikes me like, wow, this is the best that they could do. That's that's their guy who they put in charge of all of this to be their communicator, to be there to be their leader. Like, he's so pathetic on so many levels. And he's just like watching him makes my skin crawl. I can't describe it. It's he's just creepy. Like that is my very astute analysis. What continuing to watch Mike Johnson here spiral as we get closer and closer to the midterms. He is creepy, man. And he is definitely not the best person to put in front and start doing PR here for the Democrats. They do. They are though, Jordan. I mean, if you look at Pierre Poliev in Canada, Maple Magga, who likely would have been the Prime Minister, the way things were trending until Donald Trump demonstrated the dangerousness of Magga and the Canadian people woke up. And there's a lot of Canadian people who knew what was going on. And if you looked at the polls of what was happening before Carney, you had Maple Magga on the rise. And most of the polls before Carney showed that you were going to have a Magga in Canada. And Pierre Poliev is a weird dude, just like, you know, he does these weird workout things. He's a very strange human. And, you know, he also lost his writing like his congressional seat. They call it writings in the last major election. But he like, he responded. And he took somebody else's writing that basically doesn't belong to him, but he took somebody else's. And he's out there doing the same Maple Magga playbook right there. And the people of Canada are like, dude, we're under attack right now. And let's be clear in Canada, they don't view this as like a trade war. They view it correctly as Donald Trump has declared war on the country. That this is part of a broader strategy by Donald Trump to take over the Western hemisphere. And I'm going to drop a video in the morning that I did with an incredible reporter who's in Ecuador. So I hope you'll all watch it in the morning. But we talk about how Trump has installed these dictators who are people from Miami. They're like Americans with family in certain Central American, South American countries. But the Magga has been interfering with these elections throughout the Western hemisphere, installing Miami guys who basically do Trump's bidding and drain all of the resources away. And we put the U.S. military in these countries and we're actually full fledged like invading like we have U.S. ground forces in places like Ecuador doing actual missions. We have boots on the ground and they go, we're going after the narco terrorists. And there's no evidence that that's actually what's taking place. If anything, you actually seem to be having more drug issues and drug trafficking and other trafficking happening. But they're going after their political opponents and they are in a war posture. And the U.S. military is involved in these war crimes in these countries as they drain the resources and they give them to Trump and Trump's oligarchs. And so we see that in Ecuador and we see that why do you think they pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez? Is someone like that? Why do you think is going on now in Colombia over there? And in Argentina and there's so much that we get into in this interview tomorrow. So I hope you'll watch it all. All right, let's take our last quick break of the show. We'll be right back. And Jordi, you said, Magga, Mike is creepy. When we get back, I just want to show you what else is going on in that orbit right now because it even gets worse than that. But let's take our last quick break. We're a reminder pre-order WTF America begins the book I wrote with my brothers. It comes out officially October 20th. The pre-orders are available now. If you're going to buy it in October, pre-order it now. It helps with all of the preparation for the release. So I have to tell you about this game changing product I used before a night out with drinks. It's called pre alcohol. You have to have pre alcohol before you go out. I love getting together with friends on the weekend. But I also want to be up early the next morning with my family and ready to go. Zbiotic's pre alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered prebiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. I seriously could not go out without this. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct and not dehydration. That's the blame for rough days after drinking. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre alcohol your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you will feel your best tomorrow. I got to say, I was a little skeptical at first, but I tried it before meeting up with friends for dinner and drinks the next morning. I was up early making breakfast, hanging out with my kid, getting on with the day exactly how I wanted. That made me the ultimate believer. Mondays don't move for anyone. Pre-alcohol works overnight. So you could have a real weekend and still show up sharp. So do this for me. Go to zbiotics.com/mytis and use code mitis for 15% off your first order. That's zbiotics.com/mytis code mitis for 15% off your first order. Zbiotics.com/mytis code mitis M-E-I-D-A-S.

If there's that exit survey, let them know we send you. Benji, I think calling Mike Johnson weird honestly is like the nicest thing anyone could, like I think that's a very PG mild take. Mike Johnson weird. What do you say to that? Yeah, well, he's dangerous, he, but you know, he is inherently this bootlicking sycophant of the worst kind, and you wonder how people like Hitler came into being, and wonder no longer. I mean, as long as there are mega mics in this world in mind, opinion that have a mindset of bending the knee to anyone they view as a strong man and just going along with whatever, the human psychology aspect of it. And that's what I'm referring to. It's obvious that there are just enablers and magma mic is just a horrible trash, vile, pathetic thing. And again, I don't view this in a political way. You know, it's not like well, it's double crunchy or the Republicans like these are loser people. And we've been too nice. We've been too accepting of while they've exploited this entire country like these people as I've said are there to kill you. MAGA mic, the Republicans right now under this MAGA, they hate you. They hate our troops. They hate the United States. They hate our government. They hate democracy. They hate their voters. I truly believe that Trump and MAGA mic actually, and I pass a lie detector on this. I wholeheartedly feel this way. And by the way, I feel wholeheartedly I'm right. They hate their own voters more than they even hate people who vote for the other side. Like they view their own voters as the dumbest people a mad like they look at their actions toward them. Look how he treats the farmers. Look how he treats the ranchers. Look how he treats all of his most loyal supporters are the people who he loves just given him bread crumbs and seeing them suffer and seeing them beg for the bread crumbs. That's who they are. While they're out there saying like, you know what, if we don't get to put Donald Trump's name in an engraving in the Kennedy Center, and if we don't get to call the area around the Kennedy Center, the Trump pavilion, we're going to destroy it. We're going to blow it up literally, I mean, in the past 48 hours, that was a filing. That's how Donald Trump and their regime is spending their time. Golden ballrooms, reflecting pool, hiding in catering containers with Natalie attacking Canada. And after losing a federal injunction, which said, you can't rename the Kennedy Center, the Trump Kennedy Center unless its Congress approves, Donald Trump's like, okay, so if you're not going to let me do that, well, then I am going to put a giant tarp over it. And then I'm going to engrave my name into the Kennedy Center. And I'm going to say it's not renaming it the Trump Kennedy Center. But instead, I'm saying this is in honor of Donald Trump Kennedy Center. This is an honor to me. And then I want to do the park and the surrounding area, the honorific to Donald Trump. So that everybody will now call this thing the Trump Kennedy Center even though it's been banned because you'll have to now say it's in honor of Donald, it's the Kennedy Center in honor of Donald Trump. And they're sick and they said to the court, they said, we will have to tear down the Kennedy Center. And this comes at the same time that we've learned the truth, which is board minutes leaked out. And since the name change that Donald Trump did, which was deemed illegal, the Kennedy Center lost $100 million in revenue, it lost 25 to 30% immediately of its donor base as well in addition to the revenue. And it became decrepit because Trump broke it. And this goes back to what I said before, they break it, they're the arsonists, they destroy it. And then Donald Trump and his filing, like how he acts in this fascist capacities like it's destroyed. It needs Donald J. Trump to fix it. Why? Because he is a predator. That's why he's a sick, evil, disgusting thing. And all of these people are who support this stuff, they're gross. They're gross people. I mean, look, you have Howard Lutnik over here, here's Howard Lutnik. He is holding a press conference today. What do you think Lutnik's press conference is on? It's on the Kennedy Center. That's what they're talking about and why we need Donald J. Trump's name must be on it. We have to engrave it because it's not possible without his greatness. Jordy, you thought Maggie Mike was creepy? Watch this. Center, the Journal of Kennedy Memorial, Center for the Performing Arts, should be the greatest cultural institution in the United States of America and possibly the world. And the president wants to do that, right? But it's not there now, it's had decades of financial neglect. And the reason that happened is because Congress is good at a lot of things, but what they're not good at is putting out a little bit of money every year to renovate and restore a building. They're just not good at that. 10 million, 20 million necessary to fix this or fix that, they're just not good at that. And so what happened is decade after decade, what happened was this building wasn't neglected. It wasn't neglected. It was great. People liked the Kennedy Center. They showed up. It was sold out. Hamilton was there. You had great shows. You had a great symphony. It was great. People liked it. You're talking about the same way people like Canada, it's a great country. They're nice. People like it. The same way we had allies. We liked it. Those were allies. And then the strategy they use also all the time is to act like, oh, everybody knew this. Right? Everybody knew that the Kennedy Center needed renovations and was going to shit. It's like, no. Donald Trump says about Canada. Everybody knew that Canada was taking advantage of us and they were very bad people. I don't think anyone has ever said that in the history. In fact, the stereotype of Canada that people have is literally about how nice Canadians are. And it's the opposite of reality. I mean, look, you have Maggie Republican Congress member John James this morning going on the Benny Johnson show and as Aaron Rupert says, these people are so effing weird and they talk about circumcision and they talk about how it's a blessing from God. Listen to what they're talking about. Let's play it. The first thought that comes to mind is that circumcision has a sacred history. It's a covenant between man and God. It is setting yourself apart as chosen from Abraham. And this has been passed along on our Judeo Christian values. That guy is a congressman, a mega congressman from Michigan. And Michigan is going to face even more economic harm. As a result of the escalating trade war that Trump launched against Canada. And Canada's very precise and targeted and powerful counter tariffs. The retaliation by Canada to which the Trump regime then complains about and they go, why are they retaliating? Why would you fight back? If you're going to keep on retaliating, we're going to have to respond. If you keep your retaliation, then we're going after your auto industry. Then they're going to retaliate against that too. They're going to cut off electricity because we depend on Canada for electricity in a lot of states and we depend on Canada for crude and we depend on Canada for critical minerals. You want to see the United States economy crash? Just wait and see if Prime Minister Carney starts unloading some of the bonds that they hold, some of the treasuries. Canada does that. If you try to destroy their auto industry, because you are retaliating and you're not taking it, we're going to, on January 1st, try to bankrupt your auto. Okay, then they're going to bankrupt the U.S. Why is this with everything going on? No American want. We don't want this. We don't want any of this. Even Trump's base doesn't want to be like, what are you doing? What is this? What in the world? And then I'm showing you different people. I'm showing you this is the stuff that they want out there, by the way. It's not like I'm cherry picking. These are their press conferences. I didn't throw a camera on them and go, all right, you know, just aren't asking them the questions for these ones. These are pre-planed press conferences that they held. So this is Hegsip. He was asked yesterday, or it's may have been earlier in the morning. What do you feel? What's your view on the U.S. running out of munitions? It seems that we're out of munitions and our allies are concerned. Here's what he says. Let's play. Why would I answer? I mean, this is kind of a stupid question I would never answer. Like, why would I answer a question about whether we do or do not have certain types of munitions? People tell you we have 110 percent, or I tell you we have one, I would never answer that question. And the press is foolish to want to press, an American press is foolish to want to press an American word apartment about where we may or may not be on classified issues. And if you saw the way he even visually looked like flailing at his arms and then his and that, why would I tell you about our exquisite systems, you know, because we want to know why the hell we gave you a trillion dollars of our money. And you went into a catastrophic war with Netanyahu against Iran. And you ran out of weapons. We know you ran out of weapons right now. And now the The plan is to just call it economic outcast or economic fury and give it stupid names. And then you had undersecretary of defense for policy, Elbridge Kobe, he's the number two to Hegsiff. He was at the NATO headquarters today. And he spent his time attacking Germany and saying, "How is it reasonable for the American people to be spending 3.5% to 4% GDP on defense?" He did project power all for everyone's benefit. And the German people only spend one percent. They're just attacking every country. It is go out and just they're attacking everybody here, watch this. I think President Trump deserves tremendous credit. No question. But it's also something that the Germans themselves are seeing as in their interest and seeing as something that's reasonable. How is it reasonable for the American people to be spending 3.5% to 4% of GDP on defense and being able to project power for all our benefit and the German people to be spending 1%. At some point that just doesn't make sense anymore. We're beyond that. That's one of the key things. We're beyond that. Okay. We're done with that. Okay. The American people don't want to be spending 4% of our GDP on the mill. Do we want to spend it on healthcare? We want to spend it to help Americans get homes. We don't want to spend it giving weapons to Netanyahu to engage in genocide. We don't want to spend it to slaughter little girls in Manabh or to have people slaughter people in Lebanon. We want the money for Americans to build things here. That's what we want. We would be so much better if we didn't spend 3.4% of our GDP. Look what you've done with the 4% GDP. You idiots ran out of our weapons. You ran out of our weapons. You couldn't feed our service members, our sailors and our Marines weren't getting food aboard the aircraft carriers. Now the ship's going into Thailand because not only could you not project power, you couldn't project food for our troops to eat and that's systemic. And then when people report on it like stars and stripes, the independent news organization that reported on the military, the Trump regime fired all of their writers because they were telling stories about the horrible conditions that despite a $1 trillion military budget, the only people who seemed to be getting that money were Trump's oligarch friends. And people in Trump's inner circle and Trump's orbit while our service members weren't getting food and the publisher and the editor-in-chief and the writer all got fired. They filed a lawsuit earlier today against the Trump regime because they got unlawfully terminated from their job in retaliation for telling the truth about our service members and their family as Trump and Hegsith defame our service members and their families and call them liars. And I've been reporting on this every morning so I hope you appreciate some of the morning research that we do where we go deep into the weeds about Army Chief of Staff, Randy George getting fired by the Trump regime, getting pushed out. One of the main reasons he got pushed out was because he was investigating the Apache helicopter flyover at Kid Rock's Mansion. And that was too much for the Trump regime. Also he wanted to modernize our military and focus more on drone and anti-drone technology. And that conflicted with Hegsith wanting the warrior ethos. Also Randy George and Dan Driscoll, Driscoll was the Army Secretary. Christopher Donahue, a well renowned, well beloved general also. They were focused on promoting the best within our military but Hegsith didn't want to promote and doesn't want to promote women and black people. He's refused to promote women and black people to even the rank of one star general and forced out a lot of other top military leaders, even the chairman of the Joint Chiefs because he's black. DQ Brown, Jr. who's got the most experience and we moved in a guy because he's a white guy named Dan Reisencane who had to get waivers. He had to get waivers and then our CIA chief is over in Moscow and the Moscow intelligence chief says this was just a normal meeting that we have now with the United States. There was some reporting, oh that we sent John Ratcliffe our CIA head because he was gonna warn his warning Russia, don't you attack NATO, why do you think you believe that that's what's happening? Of course not. He was there because the U.S. works with Russia now because they're who Donald Trump wants to be allied with. Why do you think he's there? You think he's there to stand up to Russia, come on, stop it, stop it nonsense. So that's where we are right now in Jordy. If you thought the MAGA my clip before the break I've showed you that this is, I could keep on going, I could show you Navarro that you get the point. This is who they are. Dan, it's just so much incompetence that then there's like a cover up of the incompetence that happens like with the stars and stripes, writers and editor-in-chief, like them icing reporters out of the Pentagon. You see a pattern here and it's a pattern that you see in authoritarian countries throughout the world. That's what Donald Trump is doing. That's what Pete Hegseth is doing. They're trying to shut down any dissent and they're trying to cover up for just a really incapable regime. I mean, there was even a report earlier today from the New York Times that I remember there was that close call recently where Marine one came dangerously close to a commercial jet over Washington, DC. Very dangerous situation could have resulted in a lot of deaths. They're saying the reason for that and the preliminary reports that are coming out that people are telling the press is because of Donald Trump's construction of the stupid ballroom because it caused things to be moved around and made things more difficult for air traffic controllers. And it made for a dangerous situation where it almost killed people. I mean, we saw that during the UFC fight also where they had those super bright lights shining and pilots were blowing the whistle and saying, this is dangerous. We can't fly because they're beaming lights in our face. Everything is for show. Everything is just so absurd and ridiculous. And everything that they do and quite frankly, a lot of folks in the media and a lot of these consultants who go on TV, all they want to do at all times is distract you from the issues that really matter, the things that really affect your lives, the things that really affect your day to day, the way that you take care of your family, the way that we take care of our allies, all these actual issues that have a real impact on your lives. A lot of people don't want you to think about, but I do want to give a shout out to all those brave reporters who stand up to this regime. So their reporter is at papers, even under a lot of stress like the Washington Post or if they're at the New York Times or if they're under a paper like the Stars and Stripes, which is technically under the Pentagon, but is supposed to be an independent paper that is supposed to be allowed to report honestly. It's brave in 2026 when you're able to actually report honestly and not what the regime wants to tell you. So I do want to give a shout out to them and everybody who continues to stand up and continues to make sure that all these issues are grounded in the stakes of this moment and what Americans actually care about, not just Americans, what people of this world really care about. I think we're better than our leaders. I hope Canada knows that we're in, you know, elbows up with Canada, we're in great support with the people of Canada, shout out to them the way they've handled themselves through all these attacks. I think I've absolutely been brilliant. I think Prime Minister Karney has been brilliant. I think all these premieres have been absolutely brilliant, keep up the fight, keep those elbows up, keep going over the boards. And thank you for listening to our show as well.
