Trump Struck With Disaster After This Gets Exposed; Melania's Bizarre Appearance
23m 1s
Melania Trump’s visit to an elementary school to discuss AI with kindergarteners is condemned as inappropriate and dangerous, with critics warning that young children are vulnerable to the perils of early AI exposure and social media. The segment is juxtaposed with a broader critique of U.S. foreign policy, particularly the massive $2.8 billion arms sale to Israel, which includes 2,000-pound bombs linked to attacks on civilians in Gaza. This deal is seen as a betrayal of American values, funded by taxpayer dollars and supported by political figures despite public opposition. Critics highlight the hypocrisy of leaders who ignore domestic hardships—such as lack of healthcare—while funneling funds to a war regime known for targeting children and safe zones. The analysis extends to free speech issues, citing Ed Sheeran’s band dropping Macklemore due to his criticism of Israel, and the suppression of dissent by powerful figures like Robert Kraft and political actors like Scott Jennings, who are accused of spreading misinformation and propaganda. The critique underscores a broader pattern of fear-mongering, racism, and authoritarianism in conservative politics, particularly through rhetoric targeting minorities and immigrants. The commentary concludes that while partisan leaders remain silent on these issues, everyday citizens are demonstrating greater moral courage. The segment calls for a reevaluation of “America First” policies, urging voters to reject foreign policy that prioritizes political allegiance over public well-being.
(upbeat music) - Okay, Melania is trotting out in the public again. And now she is pushing AI to elementary school students. That sounds like an absolutely terrible idea. Let's see if she can convince us, play the clip. - I'm hopeful to be with all of your students at the mountain view today. You kids are the stars. - Shortly, I will visit your classroom, and I cannot wait to see what you have been learning. I'm specially excited to hear about your work with AI. - It's so wonderful to leave the White House today to talk to the children about AI, which will kill you, but be best. Also, my husband, Donald, I don't like him, and I don't know Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, this is just, are you kidding me? Going to an elementary school talking to kids about AI. Kids need to be playing and grabbing onto tangible things and building with blocks. Their view for the world is so dystopian. They're even involving elementary schoolers, kindergarteners. - Can you think of anything more terrifying than a nine-year-old having access to AI and having a quasi-relationship back and forth asking questions with AI? I mean, I do understand that even in elementary schools, I think it's becoming more common practice to introduce AI, so which I find a little bit shocking. But I mean, all the perils we see with just social media for a child at age eight, nine, 10, 11 years old to have full access to that is terrifying to me. - Well, when Trump is not spending time with the bunny boiler, he is, of course, servicing his other girlfriend, Benjamin Netanyahu, pop this up. Breaking news, the Trump administration is preparing a $2.8 billion sale of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, the largest single sale of the controversial munitions in recent years. The US official told the post, I saw a community note on this. The package is actually funded by US taxpayer dollars and includes 20,000 bombs that weigh 2,000 pounds each. And this is the part right here, listener and viewer. This is the part right here where we have people in the Democratic Party that support this. And they've seen the images of dead kids in Gaza. They hear about the violence of the West Bank and the Israeli terrorists that are terrorizing the citizens of the West Bank. And they have no credibility to stand up against this because the same people that purchased Trump also have purchased them. - And this is pretty alarming from what I see. These are these 2,000-pound bombs. And I believe there's 40,000 of them based on what I read. But these are the same weapons that Biden had to pause over mass casualties when he was in office. As you pointed out, the taxpayers are funding it. Israel has dropped these same bombs and safe zones, designated safe zones in the past. It undercuts Trump's so-called ceasefire, if you wanna call it that. There are some notable Republicans that also oppose this. I think Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Other people are in opposition to this. It's terrifying that our country is gonna be complicit in what Israel decides to do in its own war that is created. - And if you think about the people that live in America that don't have health care and their government doesn't care that they don't have health care because they service the pharmaceutical industry and they service insurance companies more than they do care about citizens. And they don't have access to maybe cancer treatment or something. Meanwhile, their taxpayer money that is removed from their check is then sent to Israel to a war criminal. The United States of America is sending a $2.5 billion bomb package to a war criminal. And this will barely be a blip in the news. And then on top of all of that, our little smoky-eyed sociopath goes out and has the nerve to say this, play the clip. But that doesn't mean that we're gonna completely make our European foreign policy subservient to NATO in the same way that we cannot let our Middle Eastern foreign policy be subservient to the state of Israel. We're gonna work with people when we work with them. We're gonna disagree when we disagree. - Imagine setting your makeup, then forgetting it's even theirs. Meet new grippy setting mist from Maybelline, New York. Jelly mist technology locks in your look for up to 24 hours with flexible all day comfy grip. No tightness, no stickiness, no residue. Just clump, dewy, hydrated skin that still feels like your skin. Try new grippy setting mist from Maybelline, New York. - Maybe it's Maybelline. - Okay. - We are subservient to Israel. Both political parties are subservient to Israel and to this genocidal, homicidal freak show of a government run by Benjamin Netanyahu and Benjamin Netanyahu isn't even the worst of them. Start looking at the other people under Benjamin Netanyahu that crank out AI videos for fun about putting Palestinians and concentration camps in the irony and all of that and the diabolical nature of all of that is so disgusting and they want to drum up this big issue now that if we're critical of Israel, if we're critical of a government that kills kids, if we're critical of our government for sending money to a government that actively bomb schools on purpose, the bomb's hospitals on purpose that targets little kids with bullets in their head and in their heart on purpose for sport that somehow we're bigots. It's just absolute moral collapse and this is why Benjamin Netanyahu wanted Trump over anybody else because he knew he could manipulate him. He knew he could take this as far as he could possibly take it. He knew that he could convince him to go into war with Iran because Israel and the Trump regime have something really, really in common. They don't give a fuck about the American public. - And I think that the sentiment, though, toward Israel and Palestine has shifted. I think that you see that in the public arena somewhat and I do think this is a golden opportunity for Democrats to message, where is the America first? Why are we giving so much to Israel? Why are we giving up America first to Israel? There's an opportunity there to seize that because this arms deal that we talked about sending weapons to Israel, all of the sacrifices we're making in this war and no one's in favor of those things if you're an American and you're struggling financially. Nobody favors those policies. So this is an opportunity to seize and say, why are we devoting so much of our resources and our taxpayer-funded dollars to a country that's not benefiting the American people and that most Americans, not all, but most Americans don't care about Israel except for this nexus with MAGA and Christianity. They don't care. It's not helping them put gas in the car or pay their rent. - Well, and you brought up earlier Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson and they have seen this as an offering. Four people in MAGA that they are gonna say, we dropped off the Trump train first 'cause we can see this guy is a dementia duck, curtains are closing and we can say he abandoned the America first agenda. My problem with Tucker and Marjorie is I think at the core of each of them, I think they're both bigots. - Yeah. - And I don't support either one of them. I just thought it was notable that they took these positions too long. - They're outflanking the Democrats. - Exactly, so why, yeah. - Right, I agree with you, we have to report that because they're the ones who are at the front of it outflanking the Democrats because Chuck Schumer and Hawkeme Jeffries say take APEC money and they say there's a video of Chuck Schumer saying my job is Senate majority leader is to make sure Israel gets every cent of money that we can send them. And how on earth this helps the American public is just the abandonment and neglect by our leaders of these hard working Americans that are working class people that struggle to have healthcare that are, you know, have stacks of insurance claims. And then you have Senate majority leader saying shit like that it's just absolutely disgusting. - And it makes sense we have these leaders that can't message this Israel first over America first message because they're taking APEC money. They know that would be contrary to what Israel wants. So it makes perfect sense they're compromised. Therefore we're not hearing this. We're having to hear it from these extreme right wing people at Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson when our party should be saying it. - Exactly. And so just popping into some pop culture stuff that's linked to this issue. Ed Sheeran was on tour and Maclamore opened for him and Maclamore made a statement about Palestine and the genocide that is happening over there and stood up and used a microphone for good. And then Robert Kraft, the guy who goes
those, you know, that owns the football teams and the stadiums who visits hookers and prostitutes and all this stuff. Claimed it was hate speech, Ed Sheeran drops Macklemore from the two or since then, all of Ed Sheeran's bandmates have said, "We're not going to play with you anymore." And so this is a real moment where you have everyday people, everyday people doing more than the people in power, everyday people showing more moral clarity about the dangers of the conflation of critic of Israel with anti-Semitism and how abhorrent all of that is. And so AOC was asked about this, and here's what she had to say. It has happened with the act and not just in removing Macklemore from the lineup, but when you see what Robert crafted to line up all of the stadiums, to censor speech in that one specific way, it's become clear that this is not just about one music artist. For two music artists, but this is about how just a handful of stadium owners and the elite can prevent an entire massive issue, in this case the genocide and Gaza, but -- Josh. Yeah. Well, we've seen this as part of the Trump administration's effort to censor free speech basically in this country, to keep people from having a voice, and you've seen his attacks on universities as it relates to Palestinian advocates and so forth. So that part of it's not a surprise. What I think is admirable here is you have someone like Macklemore who makes these statements against his own financial interests. So he's not anything like our elected officials. He will stand up and make a statement against his own financial well-being or interest, and suffer the consequences for that to stand up and say something that he thinks is right. We have none of that with our leaders. They shiver at the thought of saying something that's either going to hurt their pocketbooks or go against their leader, Donald Trump, and it's disgusting. And I commend him and applaud him for that, and anyone else who stands up and makes comments based number one on your conviction, and number two, even if it's against what's in your best interest. You do it because it's right and good for him. Completely agree. All right, shifting gear slightly here, Mitch McConnell, as we had in an episode yesterday returned, looks like he was not responding to verbal cues. He was staring straight on it. It looks like he's brain dead, basically, and they're weak in it, burning him around the Senate, pegging reporters not to video him. Now you may remember a couple months ago, three months ago, precisely, when he went missing, and was hospitalized, Scott Jennings was like, "Oh, I had a 20-minute conversation with him. We spoke about the history of the Senate." I mean, like a really pretty nuanced kind of conversation, right? And everybody called bullshit on Scott Jennings lie, and everybody's still calling bullshit on everything that comes out of Scott Jennings' mouth, because all he is good at is fluffing the ego of an 80-year-old man. But here he is trying to take a victory lap over Mitch McConnell's return, play the clip. Save the receipts. So allow your humble reporter this brief moment of mature and dignified reflection. I told you so. I told you I'd spoken to him. I told you he was following the news. I told you he intended to finish his term. I told you he was working to get back to the Senate in September, and on September the 14th. Enough. Enough. I've heard enough. Josh, talk to our audience about what you often tell me in private when we have conversations about CNN and about them platforming somebody like Scott Jennings. Well, I've always thought, and I think you've been a guest on the panel with Scott Jennings several times, I've always thought that CNN owns, has somewhat of an ownership in a lot of the messaging of Scott Jennings and a platform that they're giving him to get this message out to so many people when a lot of the things he says just aren't credible. And so at some point, you cross the line to where you're complicit. You own some responsibility in the messaging that's being said on your network. I want to say a side note, we probably bumped up. I think that podcast interview had about 10 or 12 views when I looked at it when I was having to watch it this morning, so he's getting a big bump by you showing it. But listening to him, you just feel like he's lying to you, you feel like you're sitting in a church and somebody's selling you something, you know, the way that he's speaking and the way that he looks and the appearance that he gives. It's just slimy. I remember maybe a month or so ago, I watched a clip of his when I was guesting on his show and he had a beard. And I remember questioning, okay, do I really need to have a beard? If I look anything like Scott Jennings, I'm going to go shave immediately, and so now I've seen that he's shaved, so I felt better about it, but guys like that, like there's no, you know, seeing in these things, they need to check themselves on that. They really do. I think they've lost a lot of credibility and they're losing more and more as we go on. I completely agree. He is a propagandist, he is a liar. This is a man who after January 6 had five minutes of moral clarity. And then when he saw the, you know, the wind turned, then he changed it. He has no court, nothing about him promotes anything about free speech. And I think it's interesting that corporate media has carried so much of the water for this rise and fascism. At the same time that they're doing it, their numbers are plummeting. Cable news numbers are plummeting. Our numbers, independent media, are rising despite what we believe is probably some sort of suppression and algorithm of our message and whatnot. And so they're basically overseeing their own demise to satisfy a lame dog, dementia dog president. And then moving along to a story we talked about yesterday, which is Beau French and he is the racist Texas politician who was just outraged that there were brown-skinned people, the same skin color from what I could tell from the images of Usch of Ants, cheering at a University of Texas football game. This was so offensive to him. And another one of his racist tweets has every surface to pop this up. Beau French, the Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, calls for rounding up all the Chinese and sending them packing in unearthed post from July. Okay, boys, it's time to go round up all the Chinese and send them packing. And so this is what I, you and I know, and pumps know this from living in a red state. And we see Kash Patel and we see Scott Besant, the homosexual that's in the cabinet. And we see Barry Wise, the lesbian that's doing all this heavy lifting for Donald Trump. We know because we have lived in a mega-supermajority state where white supremacy really truly reigns. And at the end of the day, the first that are going to fall in this regime are going to be the minorities. They think they're special. They think they're universally unique. And when you are going to a group of racists and oppressors and thinking you're safe, you're really just delivering your fall and a fall to your community at a much quicker rate. Yeah. And of course, this is racist, I mean, this is just race-bait, that's all it is. It's fear-mongering. It's amazing how, as I've been guesting on your show the past couple weeks, when we read all of these stories, there's a common thread in all of these things. And the common thread is fear-mongering. It's creating fear. Like we don't, I don't read any, any article that talks about any substantive policy that Republicans have about making this country better, about fixing the economy, about things that people care about. Every single thread is about fear or a conspiracy. And I think we started this morning on another episode talking about Donald Trump blaming the Democrats for his assassination. And that's what all of this is about. There's no policy. This guy is clearly attempting to rile up his base by using race and being a racist because he's got no policy to run on. And you could go through Pete Heggseth, you could go through Cache Patel, you could, it's conspiracy theory after race-bait, after fear-mongering, after boogeyman, Donald Trump does it all the time because they want control. It's about control and power. And that's what this is about, an authoritarian government that's trying to seek control and create so much fear with all of these bullshit stories, all of them. And as soon as the American people can see through it, and I think they're starting to, the better off this country is going to be. I completely agree. It's a really, really important point that all of the stories, a lot of them that we cover are just distractions because the Republican party has been on a death march for decades long before Donald Trump arrived because they have valued profits over human beings. And in order to value profits over human beings, you have to exploit human beings. And they have valued the rights of billionaires and corporations over American citizens. They have valued the rights of corporations and billionaires over the troops.
They have valued this over the Constitution, and we need to remind everybody, just as you so eloquently did, that this is all they have to offer you rural America. This, people in Texas that are thinking about voting for Ken Pax, and all they can offer you, as I'll say, hateful things about Chinese people and brown people. Other than that, tough titties, you're on your own. But I will make sure you live in a country where you can be racist and feel good about it, because they took that from you. And everything else they took from you, I can't give you back, but I'm gonna give you back your superiority and your supremacy, and that's all they have to offer and it's such a good point to constantly remind everyone. Okay, please pre-order my book, Not Today Fashes. It is linked right below in the show notes.
