Trump's corruption tour in the Middle East is just swinging away. There has been more bribes, corruption than anything you've ever seen. As we've already been discussing the palace in the sky, the $400 million airplane that Qatar wants to gift to President Trump and then have U.S. taxpayers pay $800 million to get it ready and then Trump keep it for his library. And oh, by the way, Qatar funds Hamas. But here's what the most corrupt convicted felon President Donald Trump had to say and embarrass himself to the ends of the earth with the Emir of Qatar. I just want to thank you for everything and maybe in particular our friendship.

It's been a very loyal, great, beautiful friendship. And the job you've done is second to none. You look at this, it's so beautiful. Okay. I just want to point out, and if you're listening at home, it is a picture, it's a still shot of the video of Donald Trump. And I am not lying when I say to you, his face has such a distinct line. It's almost like a mask. It is so brown and so orange.

There is a line before his hairline, his ear and the line from where the makeup mask cuts off to his hair is white as a sheet. It looks absolutely unhinged. Like I've never seen anything like it. The eyebrows, it's like he had the old tanning bed glasses on. It's just unbelievable. If you get a chance, look bed glasses on. It's just unbelievable. If you get a chance, look at it on YouTube. Okay, continue. Sorry, Kylie. It's a perfect marble.

This is what they call a perfecto. And just a great job you've done. And what a beautiful place. And we appreciate those camels. I haven't seen camels like that in a long time. And that was so great. And we appreciate it very much. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. You can have a lot of fun. Thank you, sir. Okay, I just. You can have a lot of fun. Thank you so much. Okay. I just, there's so many things wrong with that. But it's perfecto. When have you ever heard the president of the United States, I mean, groceries is a new word for him.

Now, perfecto. That's how he's talking about Middle East diplomatic relationships. I think it's so weird that he wants to be friends with all these people. Like there's such a thing as colleagues, professional distance, but he wants all these rulers, dictators. He wants to be buddy buddies with them. He wants Kim Jong-un to write him a love letter. I mean, it's so bizarre. It just is a window into his empty, empty soul. But there are a couple things that I just could not let go of the crap he was spewing at MBS, who is a murderer, who stole money from people in his country the minute he took power. Here we go. And if I didn't like him, I'd get out of here so fast.

You know that, don't you? He knows me well. I do. I like him a lot. I like him too much. That's why we give so much, you know? Too much. I like you too much.

MBS is sitting there looking at him going, you are the biggest knob. You are the easiest target. I have you exactly where I want you. And you're running around saying how you like me too much. That's a freak show. I mean, that is a freak show. Okay. Another clip. Number one, I like visiting with you and we've known each other very well. And I really believe we We're just great friends. I just, I like you. Yesterday he said it was hot. I mean, what is it with this guy? He calls the Syrian president attractive. He was talking about how hot MBS was yesterday. And then one thing, the bulwark, they had a clip, but I can't stomach the clip.

It's enough. There's only so much torture one person can take. But I did think this quote that the bulwark put up, Trump in Saudi Arabia says, I see the things that you're doing here and in your countries. It's just incredible. The whole world is talking about what you're doing and you're the envy of the world. Is he kidding? Is he kidding? Like this is such bullshit. But here is what I think it is. My like armchair psychologist, Trump wants money. Trump wants complete obedience from all the underlings, aka American citizens. MBS has that because he went in and he stole people's money. He killed people that were against him. Women have so few rights.

He likes it. He likes that they're bribing him through his cryptocurrency because he cares about money full stop. And when this is all going on, in my mind, all of this bullshit going on in the Middle East, the corruption tour, is a smokescreen to keep the American people distracted from what is going on in the United States of America, which the Republicans are trying to cut taxes for billionaires, increase the national deficit, and kick people off Medicaid, Social Security, make changes that are going to affect a majority of Americans. And Tom Suozzi, he spelled it out beautifully. Does this tax bill continue the payroll tax on people's tips? Yes, it does, Mr. Overtime. The president said your overtime will be tax-free.

Does this bill continue the payroll tax on overtime? It does not exempt overtime from the payroll tax. The president said he's going to remove taxes on Social Security. Does this bill remove taxes on Social Security benefits? The legislation provides an increased exemption amount. But does it remove taxes on Social Security benefits as promised by the president? Does not change social. Okay. So all we heard about was Trump, no tax on tips. We're not going to do tax on tips. Of course it's not in there. That was a lie. He knew it was a lie

when he was saying it. No taxes on overtime. Is that in the bill? No, of course not. No taxes on social security. Is that in the bill? No, of course not. It's promises made, promises broken. And here's the deal. He knew it when he said it. It was all complete bullshit. But these triple Trumpers, they believe him, even though in the same breath, they will tell you not to take anything he says seriously because he lies all the time, but they don't care because he hates who they hate. Another thing I wanted to bring to your attention, pull it up. ABC News reports, House Republicans unveiled the cost-saving centerpiece of President Trump's big, beautiful bill late Sunday. At least $880 billion in cuts, largely to Medicaid, to help cover the cost of a $4.5 trillion in tax breaks. You guys, this is nothing short of an oligarchy. You make the middle class poorer. You enrich the billionaires, the one percenters.

That's what the plan was all along. All these dose cuts to federal spending, all of it is to save money so that the rich can get richer. The middle class can become lower class. The lower class can be straight up below the poverty line. This is who the Republicans are. This is who Donald Trump is. He does not intend to help people on Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP. All of these agencies are going through and they're cutting the social safety net for people because they don't give a shit about poor people. They give a shit about rich people. And the Republicans, I mean, time and time again, the Republicans are good for the economy. Triple Trumpers. I voted for Trump because he's good for the economy. Well, how's that looking now? But again, it's another example of Republicans throwing the American people

under the bus in favor of billionaires. Listen to this. The amendment in front of us only impacts a little more than 3,000 Americans. It does not impact, and I did the math, and again, at 3 o'clock in the morning, it can be dangerous to do the math, but I just verified it. 99.999% of the American people will still see their tax cuts extended if this amendment by Mr. Gomez became law. It is only the top 0.001% of Americans that would simply see not confiscatory rates, not 70% rates or 80% or 90% marginal rates like you saw in the Eisenhower years, simply a reversion from 37% back to

39.6%, which is actually the rate it has been for most of the last 30 years. So this amendment is pretty straightforward. It only impacts billionaires. It is a great opportunity for the other side to prove us wrong, to prove me wrong when I say this is one big, beautiful bill for billionaires. Prove me wrong, vote for this amendment, and we can actually have a bipartisan victory. Spoiler alert, the Republicans did not prove him wrong. All voted no against this because again, they want to please Trump who wants to be an authoritarian. A key part of authoritarianism is that you have all the money

consolidated with an oligarchy. That's who Trump is. That's who the Republicans are. That's who the triple Trumpers voted for. That's what they wanted. And now they're going to get it. And unfortunately, $880 billion will be taken away from the most vulnerable part of our population.

And they can feel good about that when they say they love Jesus and they want to help people, but they vote like they only care about billionaires. It's systemic. We need to contact our legislatures. We need to protest. We need to keep fighting for the resistance. Stay with us for more news and subscribe.
