What you just described was Trump trying to turn the United States into a pre-constitutional era where he can act as a monarch that gives and gets gifts from other countries and companies. And FIFA just cashed in on that. They realized that they can placate Trump, placate his personality. And it's not a good look for the United States. It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created the Mockler Peace Prize and I gave it to add a Mockler right away. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night.

I really like this. Our president is an actual child. and other countries are treating them like a child while giving him gifts to placate him for policy. This should scare everybody who cares about the Constitution. Hey, everybody, Adam Ackler here. I was back on CNN with Donald Trump's friend, Kevin O'Leary, and the debate got heated as usual.

People say that my hair looks better when it's combed. Is that true? Should I keep combing it? Let me know. But drop a like, subscribe, watch until the end. It's a good debate. Peace out. Terrorist organization that had the boat, that had the drugs on it that was hit, is a designated terrorist group. One of the administration's primary arguments were that these boats were an imminent threat to the United States.

They're killing 5,000 Americans a month. They're not headed to the United States. The drugs are killing 5,000 Americans a month. Also, I want to pose this question. So the Coast Guard said earlier that 212 ships were intercepted with no deaths. That means we do have the ability to do this. 25% of those ships had no drugs. Are you okay with striking boats with no drugs?

Listen, the Coast Guard is patrolling off the coast of United States. Are you okay with a 25% chance? Wait, wait, that's not a 25% chance off the coast of Venezuela. They know for certain that these drugs are on these ships. We have intercepted over 200 boats with no violence whatsoever. We have the ability to do this. We are committing violence because of losing 60,000 Americans in year. And that's awful.

Of course. We're not intercepting these boats enough, obviously. But they're not even coming to our country. Says who? The admiral. No, he said it was going to a boat off the coast that they never found. But they're not saying that on all these ships out there that they're hitting. So can we justify striking a boat that's going to any country because eventually they may become, it may become a secondary country where drugs going in the United States?

What's the barrier here? How do you justify this? The justification is that they're a terrorist organization. terrorist organization, and they've been designated as such. And we can take them out, just like Obama did, with hundreds of strikes all around the world. Just because Obama did it doesn't make it right either. Well, but the Democrats back then didn't seem to mind. But also, there was an authorized use of military force for Obama.

He actually had one. You can argue whether or not it was right or moral or legal when it comes to the American citizen. But he had authorization to operate in that area. No one here is defending drugs coming into the country. But can I ask the conservatives on this panel, if I were to tell you that this puts U.S. troops at risk because we're lowering the rules, we're lowering the bar of engagement for other countries, and they can therefore use our strikes as a pretext to kill U.S. troops. Would you say that maybe we should come down? If our troops are sending drugs somewhere, I don't think that's happening. But the American people support this. I don't think they're going to use that standard. I don't think they're going to use that standard. I want to just point out what you were talking about, though, and saying, I think there's this conflation of argument that folks do when they don't actually really want to have to defend the actions that. that this administration is doing.

And it is saying that people who question the actions of doing one strike and then potentially doing a second strike for people who might have been surrendering or playing for help, that because we have the courage to ask the question, we want Americans to die from drugs. No, if you live in America,

you probably know someone that has had an overdose or a family member that has had an overdose or a family member that is incarcerated because of drugs. So to conflate those argument is intellectually lazy, and I think we need to do a better job in this conversation tonight a twist in the cracked cold case sources tell CNN that the man suspected of planting pipe bombs the day before the january six riots told investigators that he believed the 2020 election was stolen dc u.s attorney jane pierre was asked about that today

he was disappointed uh in various aspects of the election but this guy was an equal opportunity bomber. He put a bomb outside the Republican National Committee and the Democrat National Committee. He was disappointed to a great deal in the system, both sides of the system. And for me, as a prosecutor, my job is to prove what his intent was in placing those pipe bombs and what he intended to do and what we can prove. And we can prove that. I don't think the motivation makes any since, it's clearly a diswrought, I mean, the poor guy, he's got to be mentally ill. He's blowing pipe bombs. Remember the Boston bomber?

It was horrific what happened there. It's a form of mental illness to do this to people, but you want the FBI to win. Even if you don't like them, you want them to win. And in this case, I think they're winning. You said this was essentially a tragedy of a mental illness, and I absolutely agree. But my problem is that a lot of very impressionable Americans who were distraught around this time were taken advantage of by a president. who was using incendiary rhetoric.

Before the election even happened, he said it was going to be stolen. He took the stage on election night before the votes were counted and said, the election is stolen from me. Mike Pence took the stage after and kind of walked it back. He then tried to place fake slice of electors,

tried January 6th. The president's rhetoric directly led to impressionable Americans thinking the election was stolen and committing heinous acts, like tasing cops in the neck. He wants to blow up both sides. Can I put a different theory potentially on this?

This guy's clearly warped in his head. He gets arrested. He realizes, well, the Trump DOJ is in charge. President Trump is the President of the United States. Maybe if I tell him it was because I thought the election was stolen, they'll take it easy on me. And his warped mind. No, but I mean, I'm just saying, like, he put bombs on both sides. But are you saying that?

So now of a sudden he's a truth guy and everybody should believe what he says? Maybe he put a bomb at the DNC because he believed the Democrats stole the election because Republicans and conspiracies theorists pushed that. And he put the bomb at the RNC because the vice president who was about to be, um, sworn in was going to ride by that area. There is a massive cover-up because the person who planted those pipe bombs, they don't want you to know who it was because it's either a connected anti-Trump insider or this was an inside job.

This was a setup. I have zero doubt. Folks, you're not going to walk into our capital city, put down two explosive devices, and walk off in the sunset. Not going to happen. We were going to track this person to the end of the earth. There was no way he was getting away. There's not really been any factual information laid out about this case just yet.

And when we do, I don't know, some people still might not believe it. Yeah, there's this treadmill of conspiracy theories that people run on where there's always, it's like whack-a-mole, there's always a new conspiracy theory to pop down. But I think Dan Bongino's rhetoric, his conspiracy rhetoric, proves my point so perfectly about this MAGA ecosystem. Trump told incendiary lies about an election that were proven wrong in 60 different courts. And then Dan Bongino has to run down the treadmill and find a different theory that actually this was like an inside job with Democrats doing this. I don't know. So there is always some excuse.

And what do you think impressionable Americans who may have mental illness or may be distraught or have economic trouble? How do you think they respond to being gas-lid by people in power? Like the president, like Dan Bongino, these are lies being told to the American people. But aren't you happy the man has been at least found? Yes, of course. Adam, you're a young person. I think a lot of people of your generation probably don't even think there's going to be a Social Security around when it's time to retire. When you hear things like this and you see what other countries are doing and forcing the issue because in Australia it's mandatory, every person gets this account created, do you think it's a good idea?

It's not the worst idea I've heard. It kind of reminded me of the $1,000 baby accounts where it's like this is actually something that it's feasible, it's good. But I just think right now we have more pressing issues than reorganizing the entire way Social Security and the economy works. Young people, people across the United States are having trouble accumulating capital, especially young people. We're having trouble accumulating capital in the form of housing or in the form of investing. And due to that, actually most of the times we're negative in capital due to student debt

or medical debt. Due to that, you see a lot of younger people like Gen Zers or millennials turning against the system, like we're not loyal to a system that hasn't been loyal to Gen Zers. thus far. So when a lot of conservatives talk about Zohran Mamdani or young people being super disenfranchised and disillusioning being socialist, it's actually really explainable by just looking at the way the system has worked for young people, or that hasn't worked for young people. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Cyber Monday, 208 million people bought online because the algorithms on all the platforms were the best ever, one extra billion dollars of revenue. I know that

because my companies were part of that success. Revenue does not mean... billion more money saved though also you can cherry pick one economic staff but the the fact is inflation has gone up since trump took office unemployment has gone up since trump took office a lot of the macro economic indicators that people rely on aren't doing too well so yeah you can cherry pick small things like this has gone down but when you walk through the grocery store okay cherry pick this for 40 points off an all-time high in history and there's to be 500 we do the number one economy on earth are you kidding it's growing at a slower rate than it did under

Biden we're number one on earth and we're benefiting in that number one I think You are. Everybody that's retired is anybody that has any savings anywhere. All right. I mean, how can you bash number one in the world? President Trump, he's now accepting a Peace Award that he has been calling for, but it's not a Nobel. It's FIFA. Mr. President, this is your price.

This is your Peace Prize. There is also a beautiful medal for you that you can wear everywhere you want to go. I'm going to wear it right now. Okay, let me hold. Ah, fantastic. Excellent. Yes, that really happened. The irony of putting a medal on himself

for an award that was created just for him is not lost here, but Trump was honored nonetheless. Thank you very much. This is truly one of the great honors of my life. And beyond awards, John and I were discussing this, We saved millions and millions of lives. The Congo, as an example, over 10 million people killed, and it was heading for another 10 million very quickly.

And it just, you know, the fact that we could do that, India, Pakistan, so many different wars that we're able to end. The award is the latest in what the Bullwark calls his participation trophies. A 24-carat gold plaque from Apple, a different Peace Award from the Nixon Foundation, a gold crown from South Korea during the no king's protest, a Rolex clock that's worth more than 100 grand from Switzerland, and gold, silver, and bronze medals from the Olympic Committee,

to which Trump joked. Can I say I won them athletically? Well, I don't know that he can say he actually won a peace prize, but it seems like the world is willing to humor him on this, and that he's so committed to these accolades that it's almost like it's the price of entry in Trump's world. What you just described was Trump trying to turn the United States into a pre-constitutional era where he can act as a monarch that gives and gets gifts from other countries and companies.

And FIFA just cashed in on that. They realize that they can placate Trump, placate his personality. And it's not a good look for the United States. It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created the Mockler Peace Prize and I gave it to add a Mockler right away. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. I really like this. Our president is an actual child, and other countries are treating them like a child while giving

him gifts to placate him for policy. This should scare everybody who cares about the Constitution. What are we doing? Why? You know, I mean, Trump is great at trolling the left. I mean, this is, that's what the name on the building is all about, too. I mean, it's just, you know, he shut down that, that sinkhole of money that was helping no one, actually, and we save $50 million a year, and he's like, you know what?

I'm going to put my name on that building to remind people. I mean, you could, I mean, because it drives the left crazy. But if you argue that everything is trolling and then suddenly we have Donald J. Trump's name on everything in this country like we do in, you know. It's not on everything. I mean, to quote Eric Erickson in third world kleptocracies, then suddenly it's not just trolling anymore. Suddenly it's a real thing. My favorite example of Donald Trump trolling the Democrats is probably when he called for the execution of Democrats a few weeks back. Or when he called as traitors or when he said we didn't call for the execution of Democrats.

He absolutely called for Alyssa Slotkin to be hanged, but I want to ask Kevin a question. You essentially tried to be, you get the most charitable possible interpretation of what's happening here that this is a business deal. It is not see the slippery slope when the president is able to give and receive gifts in a very transactional way. Like what if there is a Democratic president who's in power next and he's not as favorable to a company that you care about? No, wait a second. Every president in the United States is gifted everything. There's all these gifts for generations. There's no way.

Just because he's wearing a metal around his neck, he brought in a high. $100 million of merchandise into the U.S. economy. The Kevin's point. This is what I say. Thank you. Presidents do get gifts, but they're supposed to give it to the State Department. If they want to keep it. How do you know he's not going to give the Olex clock to the State Department?

I didn't say any of that. Kevin, I can't wait to visit any of that. I'm just letting you know that this is the normal person. So we will find out, usually there's a report. We'll find out later whether or not they kept it. And if you keep it, you have to pay for it. Remember that one? The 747.

I love that gift. So I think that will be. a really important question, who gets that plane? Because he says it's not going to be Air Force on. You know what? Abby, I'm getting the plane. I'm going to buy it. His presidential library gets it, right? Listen, if he's not using it up by it.

I think that they may be trying to make a pure corruption. And I want the American people to get the proceeds of my purchase. Tonight's Nightcap, who would your dream performance at your White House be? I said Sabrina Carpenter because she ratioed the hell out of Trump and I thought this was Trump's White House, but I'll also have her perform in my White House.

That's fine too. That's fine too. If you want more debate content, make sure you like the video below drop a comment and subscribe peace out
