Trump was talking about his new White House ballroom, half of which we're paying for, by the way, despite all the promises. And then he said, if you fall over the edge, only a Hispanic could survive that. What the hell? starts going up. So there's a tunnel going to what will be, I think, the greatest ballroom ever built. It's also a tremendous military complex with a drone port on top. It's quite the place.

And you literally will be the first group ever to enter the premises. So be very careful. Don't fall over the edge because it's a long way down. And only a Hispanic could survive that fall. So I'm not overly worried. I'm not overly worried. What is he, what does that even mean? Only a Hispanic could survive falling off the edge of a construction site. What Eric Schmidt tries to do in the video I'm going to play is push to try to show that

Jack Smith committed perjury. And it's all about a basketball game. What would you say if I had a series of text messages from your team that said you were in Atlanta at a Warrior Hawks game on February 3rd, 2024, the day after Willis and Wade announced their affair. And so the idea here is Schmidt thinks he's got him dead to rights. He thinks that Smith is lying about being in Atlanta, that Smith lied when he said, I've never met with them, but it's going to go south quick. I recall going to a University of Maryland basketball game. Uh-oh. Where Caitlin Clark was playing right around that time. And the Marshal Service was there with me.

if that was the exact date, it was Maryland playing Iowa, I think February of 2024. But again, you can check that out if that's... Now mentioning Iowa is the crux of all of this. Watch what we're talking about. Could it then be that University of Iowa is the Hawkeyes? Here comes Amy Klobuchar. Could that be it? And maybe before we show this kind of thing. It had nothing to do with Atlanta. It had nothing to do with the NBA. It had nothing to do with the Hawks.

It was about the Iowa Hawkeyes, different state, hundreds of miles apart. And then Amy Klobuchar comes in and goes, hey, we're kind of getting ahead of ourselves here. Maybe we would back up. You've got to look at this a little more carefully. And then Schmidt just goes, whose turn is it here? Donald Trump is doing everything he can to rehabilitate perceptions of his physical abilities. Forget about cognitive. That dude is gone.

But on physical abilities. And so Trump gives his Texas audience the rundown. And the rundown is I can go on ramps and I can go on stairs. And the audience, I have to tell you, is not particularly impressed that Trump can walk upstairs. Someday I'm going to trip. I'll be walking down. Don't forget when Biden left the stage, he spoke very shortly like two minutes, one minute, as quickly as possible.

You could never find the stairs. I don't have that problem. You know, these things, you know how many stairs they have? Look, I can go ramp. I can go stare. I can go another stair. Another stair in the back. I have a stair here.

You could never find a stair. Light applause, very light applause from the audience. They seem to care more about, did my prices go down? Am I paying more or less for energy? Am I paying more or less for gas? Did Trump stick to his promise of no new Middle East wars or did he fail on that promise? They don't seem that impressed by Trump claiming he can use ramps or stairs. I genuinely don't know how we became a country where this is the Secretary of Defense and this is how he speaks to members of the military.

Now, listen to this. I'm not even going to introduce or preview what you're about to hear. It's worth saying again so that the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that. No fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors. Just tough, ready, committed troops.

This is the Secretary of Defense. He's talking like a 14-year-old edge lord posting from his bedroom while watching Twitch streams. We now have multiple videos circulating with people claiming Trump is struggling to breathe. He's wearing a leg brace. These tapping movements are getting worse. Is he checking a medical device? None of this stuff is confirmed. You see Trump from the side here and it appears as though he is really struggling just to talk normally because of these big, deep breaths that he he is struggling to take. Now, there are many reasons somebody might look like that on video. Trump's physicians, this is me being thorough, right? Trump's physicians say he's super healthy.

He has such strong pulmonary and cardiac function. And maybe he does and the video is an outlier for some reason. But then we continue to see new speculation. We have video of Donald Trump walking here. and what people are fixating on is what seem to be rigid lower legs, something unusual there, suggestive of Trump wearing some kind of brace to maintain rigidity. Now again, I don't know. I don't think you know. He's not wearing see-through pants. What we do know is Trump has had documented swelling in his lower legs. It's been chalked up as just a little chronic venous insufficiency. is Trump awake, he roused himself, saying if the votes had been counted honestly in 2024, I would have won California.

She got tremendous thousands and thousands of votes out of nowhere. And she beat out Spencer Pratt for the runoff. No, it's very crooked. California is a very crooked election system. And if we had an honest election, Republicans would win. I would have won. I would have won. California, I got millions of votes, but I would have won California.

If that were an honest system, I would have won. Go ahead. Now, this makes zero sense. Trump lost California by more than three million votes in 2024. This is not like, oh, I needed 11,000 votes or something like that. Trump lost by more than 20 points. Donald Trump arrives at the president's cup in, just outside Chicago. He starts talking about he's getting a great reception and it's all going well.

And then you hear someone scream, you're an effing pedophile. And it's about at the eight second mark. Let's take a listen. And then there is a sort of broader story here that we want to discuss. Okay, I don't know how clearly you hear it. I'll play it once more for you. Okay, you're an effing pedophile. What's funny about this is the timing. Trump had just predicted that the fake news media would say he got a bad reception. And then you actually get you're an effing pedophile. Donald Trump is once again struggling to keep his eyes open in the middle of the day. And this time, the White House decided to cut away.

This is absolutely fascinating. Watch what happens here. Trump is struggling to stay awake on camera. We've got two feeds here. On the right is the press pool feed. That nasty press pool showing Trump sleeping. The White House feed is on the left. And what you will notice is that when it becomes inevitable or undeniable that Trump is falling asleep,

the White House cuts to a wide shot where Trump is almost relegated to the background, and you see more of the people around Trump. The White House trying to hide that Trump is sleeping. Take a look. And then they meet up together with some of the best entrepreneurs in the world on planet Earth, Just to my right right here from SR, who are many businesses around the world. Cut. And that leads to a giant investment to reindustrialize America, a win for America national security, and a massive economic win in vote of confidence in the fabulous state of Iowa.

So the White House is trying to protect Trump. They see that he is falling asleep. They see he can't stay awake as energy secretary Chris Wright is speaking. Trump's eyes close and the head starts dropping. and he is fighting, fighting for dear life to stay awake. And they cut away. Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump's brain is mayonnaise and not the good kind of mayonnaise. Listen to this answer about AI. And it is the type of mayo where you go, wow, it's a really hot day. And the mayo has been in the sun for hours. I don't think I'm putting it on my fries. I really

don't think I am. And it's sort of the perfect Trump answer because he doesn't really answer the question. And it's clear he doesn't understand AI, but I think he suspects he might be able to make money from it. And that at the end of the day is what he cares about. Is there any part of you that worries at all about AI going rogue? Well, I don't worry about it. I just, you know, it's a huge industry. It's really the industrial revolution may be bigger. You know, they actually say it could be bigger than the Industrial revolution. Who would think that? And it is in fact bigger than the internet. And we're leading and we're building tremendous, you know, trillions of dollars worth of places. And why should

we give that up? If something is bad, they have to fix it. Is there any? It is the perfect Trumpian answer. Not only does he not answer the question. He doesn't understand the question. Guys, do, does anybody in my audience think that Trump even understands what it means for AI to go rogue? Of course, he's not answering the question. He doesn't know what we're talking about. Donald Trump explaining, we have the best poverty. We have the best, I guess you could say poverty. They talk poverty.

We have the best poverty numbers ever in the history of our country. In other words, there's less poverty now than at any time in the history of our country. Other countries come up to me, they go, sir, how do we can, how, how could we possibly get our poverty to be so good like yours is? Ha! Ha! Ra! Ah. Okay.

Now, buried inside that word salad is some data. The official census poverty rate fell to 10.2% in 2025, the lowest in the history of that particular series, as is often the case with Trump, it's not that he completely invented the underlying number. It's the president of the United States gets halfway through a sentence and he struggles to communicate poverty is at a record low. We have the best poverty is the way he's able to articulate it. It is not evidence of a well-functioning brain. The recent midterm convention that Trump held in Dallas, Texas was terrible for Ken Paxton. Ken Paxton publicly said, this is so great. I love it. But we now have leaked audio obtained by the New York Times of Ken

Paxton's assessment of that midterm convention. And it is bad. This is from a private fundraiser in Washington. And someone asked Paxton, you know, is Trump becoming a little bit of a drag? And Paxton's response is that midterm convention didn't help us. In fact, our numbers got worse. Take a look at this. You feel like, man, all these guys in the other, these president, Charlie. But do you feel like to use a little bit of a drive? So to be honest with you, the numbers in case, when we did that in convention, we'll travel to our numbers, everybody can't read off.

Right now. Yeah. Not good. I wish there was something to do to turn on. It's not good. The midterm convention diminished how. well I was polling. Remember that Caroline Levitt left for maternity leave, briefly came back, announced she's leaving the administration, did leave the administration, and now she's back to doing

TV appearances. And here is what she has announced. Take a listen. Over the next 36 days, Republicans, and I know President Trump is going to do it, must ruthlessly prosecute the Democrats as who they are, extreme far left liberals who want to destroy our economy, want to take away your private property, raise your tax. taxes, take your hard-earned money, abolish prisons, abolish police, open our borders to insane people from all over this world and end America as we know her and love her. And that is not an exaggeration. And that's what we have to focus on drawing that contrast between the common sense vision

of President Trump and Republicans. Right. The stuff that she just said is not an exaggeration. It's straight up lies. Marjorie Taylor Green has declared MAGA dead. It's dead. Except why might she be saying this right now? And so what does the future look like for MAGA right now?

I think Trump has lied so much to us and betrayed us so incredibly beyond any of my comprehension. I think MAGA is dead. And... Woo! Wee. Okay. There are two stories here. One, the Maga Civil War. And two, what is Marjorie doing with her political future? One of the stranger things about Donald Trump's relationship with the AI industry is that as Americans raise really important questions about AI, not stop it now, stop AI now. But real question. What happens to Jobs? What happens when an AI system does

something the creator of it didn't intend? Who's responsible when something goes wrong? Why are enormous data centers showing up in communities where the decision to build it has been made before anybody has a say and people's electricity prices are going up. It's noisy. You're subsidizing infrastructure. All good questions. Trump surrounds himself with some of the richest and most powerful tech executives in the world. You've got Elon Musk over to Trump's left. You've got Jensen Huang from NVIDIA to Trump's right. Next to him was Mark Zuckerberg. But the room is full with these people. And the sort of answer. answer from Trump to all of these questions seems to be, these guys got it. Here is Donald Trump

talking about how popular data centers are and are going to be. You're going to see data centers are going to be very popular because this is the group and they're the ones that want to, and they're also the ones that want to see communities that are safe and happy. And they're going to make communities very, very happy. Otherwise, they'll be forced to go overseas. or other locations. The reason that data centers are becoming such a big issue is precisely because a lot of communities don't want them.
