A sickly and decrepit Donald Trump flopping around outside of the White House in the area where he destroyed the Rose Garden. He put a bunch of concrete and he calls it a club. He calls it the Rose Garden Club. And he invites all the MAGA Republican Congress members and senators to show up. And he proceeds to say, you know, I invited all.

of you, you know why you are invited? Then he goes on to talk about how this is going to be the greatest club imaginable. Dude, you're talking about the concrete in the Rose Garden. What are you talking about? And then he says that he will be investing $17 trillion that he's imagining in his mind and that everyone is so rich and we are in a golden age. Now, yesterday we got some of the worst economic data in a generation, really since the Great Recession. The job numbers were absolutely atrocious. Only 22,000 jobs were created in August. But when you looked at the revisions for June, we lost 13,000 jobs in June. It's the first time that's happened, really since COVID when Trump screwed up the economy the first time around. But when you look

at other cross tabs in the data. Unemployment for young people, 18 to 26 or so, it's like 10.5%. African American unemployment's like 7.5%. When you look at the manufacturing jobs that have been lost since the start of the year, close to 80,000 manufacturing jobs lost, farmers are having their lives absolutely upended and destroyed right now. The only area where jobs were created are healthcare health sector jobs, which Donald Trump is going to destroy through the disastrous budget bill, but it's only the part-time jobs for foreigners. That's the only area where you saw even small job growth at all. Hundreds of thousands of jobs being lost from native-born, full-time workers. Those are being crushed. The job market is frozen. Inflation is surging. Unemployment ticked up to

4.3%. But here's Donald Trump in front of the old Rose Garden and he's huffing and puffing and saying, let me tell you why you're here. Let's play this clip first. So getting back to why you got invited. So. And then Donald Trump says, you know why you're here, why I'm invited? Why I'm invited. all of you here. This is a very exclusive club. It's not a club. You're standing, you're standing on concrete in an area that used to be the Rose Garden. What are you, what are we talking about here? Here, play this clip. You know, you're the first ones on this great place. We call it the Rose Garden Club. And it's a club for senators, for Congress people, and for people in Washington, and frankly, people that can bring peace and success to our country. And you're invited. As congressman,

mostly we have congressmen and senators tonight. Again, you know why you first? Because it rained last night. I had the high tech guys we're going to hear. And they didn't want to have rain on top of their beautiful heads. And then here's where he says that he'll be investing $17 trillion. He says, $17 trillion. Let's play it. But I'm really happy when you see almost $17 trillion. will be invested in this country over the next few months, actually. Now, the night before that, Donald Trump invited all of these tech executives and tech founders like Zuckerberg and others. Zuckerberg was caught on a hot mic, basically admitting to Donald Trump that he was,

he and Donald Trump were just making up numbers in terms of what meta, Facebook would be investing. He goes, I went with 600 billion. I went with 600 billion. They're making up numbers, but more significantly, they're mocking you. They're mocking me. They're mocking all of us. They think this is a big game that they just make up numbers and continue this fraud. Here, this was Zuckerberg caught on the hot mic in that dinner that took place on Thursday night with Donald Trump. Let's play it. How much are you spending would you say over the next few years? Oh, gosh. I mean, I think it's probably going to be something like, I don't know, at least $600 billion through 28 in the U.S. Yeah. It's a lot. No, it's not. It's significant.

That's a lot. Thank you, Mark. It's great to have you. Can I show you what's really going on in America right now? Can I show you what's really going on in America right now? this is what's happening in Arkansas, for example, K8 News reports farmers in Arkansas, and I could show you every state like this, have never been as worried as they are now about their lives being destroyed because fertilizer costs are through the roof, the countries that they would export to aren't buying their products anymore in retaliation to the United States tariffs. They are, farmers are suffering, but all workers are suffering. Here, just play this brief clip of what's going on in Arkansas. Let's play it. We're going to lose 25 or 30 percent of the

farmers in this country if they don't do something. It has to be done, and it's not just here. It's everywhere. Farmers are making a cry for help before it's too late. Countless farmers gathered to speak to representatives of Arkansas leaders to share the urgency that something needs to be done about the current state of farming. But you see, Donald Trump is like Bernie Madoff, right? Exponentially more damaging than Bernie Madov. But Trump is a Ponzi schemer. And like all Ponzi schemers,

they move the benchmarks over and over and over and over again. And they hope that their marks will just continue to buy it. Okay, don't worry. going to, it's coming this time. Don't worry, it's coming this time. So the new thing that Donald Trump's been introducing, and you may have heard him say this, is that actually, this is what he said yesterday. The economy is actually not going to be good this year. It's not going to be good next year, not in 2026. In 27, we may see things starting to get better. Now, Trump promised on day one that he would make things better right away.

Biden was actually getting things under control. Inflation was heading down, according to the Wall Street Journal, the economist and others. We were in a Goldilocks economy, the envy of the world. But here's Donald Trump setting the benchmarks to 2027 now. He goes, that's when things will get better.

Here, play this clip. Well, I heard, and you know, we were on a very downward path with Biden, and I heard that the most we could do was 1% GDP, and now I'm hearing 3.2% and 3.5% and all, and our big year won't be really next year. I think it'll be the year after, because when these plants start opening up, it takes a period of time to build them, we're going to have tremendous job growth. But what's going to happen in 2027 or 28? They're going to find their Dr. Fauci, right?

Which they're already found. It's the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, who Trump, appointed back in 2017 and said he's a great guy. They're blaming him for everything. So right now they blame Jerome Powell for 2025 and Biden. Then 2026, Biden and Powell. Then 2027, they'll blame, oh, we were going to do great, but Democrats control Congress. And Democrats, well, I had this on a perfect trajectory, but then the Democrats came into Congress and they obstructed and they screwed my plan. It's so predictable what the fraud is, but it's a powerful fraud. You see, unlike Bernie Madoff, Donald Trump has state regime media known as Fox. So he has people like Laura Ingram who get paid what, $20, $30 million a year, something like that. Jesse Waters, these people are getting paid

tens of millions of dollars. They are good brainwashers. They know how to do this like magicians. They know how to do this stuff to infect the minds and poison the minds of people. So here's what Laura Ingram says. It's Jerome Powell's fault here play this clip. I have a question this Friday night. Is Jerome Powell happy now? His refusal to cut interest rates has helped slow the Trump economy. The August jobs report showed a disappointing 22,000 jobs added. Now, that's just one measure. Forecasts have been as much as three to four times higher than that number. But the manufacturing sector, it seems, has been hit as well. Then Jesse Waters blames it on illegal immigrants.

Here, play this clue. And jobs are down because the illegals are gone. When you leave, two million illegals leave the country, you're not going to have as many people working. And the people that are working are Americans, Jessica. And that number will be revised. I wonder if they'll be talking about the revised number in a few months. When he gets the right person in the job?

Maybe. And then, of course, you need a massive distraction, right? part of Trump's authoritarian takeover is also to create lots of distractions and distract from this distraction with that distraction, right? So the big one on Friday is we're changing the name of the Defense Department to the Department of War. Department of War. Trump, who says, I'm the peacetime guy.

Now it's the Department of War. Now he's posting images. Wartime President. Dude, you haven't resolved the war that you said you were going to resolve. Ukraine in 24 hours, Russia's invasion, you said you would resolve it, you've not resolved it. So here's the video, and by the way, you've made things in Gaza so much worse with all the atrocities that are taking place based on what Netanyahu is doing there. It's horrific, horrific, horrific.

Here's the here they're taking down. By the way, Trump doesn't have the legal authority to change the name of the Defense Department. It requires a congressional act. But it doesn't matter for Trump. he's got a guy he starts putting all these guys who start removing the letters and they just take the letters down like like a dictator just start carving up our buildings and it is our buildings it's your building if you live in the united states we the people this is our taxpayer dollars here play this clip rearrange the letters on the department signed a formal name change would have to be

approved by congress according to a white house fact sheet obtained by cvs news the trump administration argues that the term Department of War conveys a stronger message of readiness and resolve and reflects its unmatched power as the strongest and most lethal fighting force. And then speaking of our taxpayer dollars, think about it. Our taxpayer dollars are going where? To build concentration camps in the United States, to spend $200 billion on ice. And what? We're, apparently we're blowing up fishing boats now that Trump says is trend Aaragua.

we're just killing human beings off Venezuela and we're not providing any evidence what the hell really took place. It looks like a small fishing boat off the coast of Venezuela was just blown up by the Trump regime. They claim it's Trenda Aragua. It doesn't look like a drug ship. But even if it was a drug ship, under what legal authority we just, our military just kills people. They just murder them. If Trend Day, I have a serious concern. Trenda Aragua engages in human trafficking. How do we know that people on the ship were? weren't being trafficked. And now we just killed innocent people. What's the legal of, we're just, they're just a country of murderers. And again, how weak does that look? You have four ships off

the coast of Venezuela, a nuclear submarine and you're shooting down a 16 to 24 foot boat that doesn't even have enough fuel to get to the United States. Well, why not stop it with the ship and, and try to, what the hell are we doing here, folks? What the hell are we doing? Also, you take a look at this data, the U.S. housing market sees a record imbalance. Sellers outnumber buyers by over 500,000, the largest gap ever created. Oh, here's Hegsith, by the way, when he was asked, what legal authority did the Pentagon invoke to strike that boat? By the way, I want to see the most serious ramifications allowed by law for drug traffickers, especially if someone's bringing like fentanyl in, which kills people. I want to see the strongest possible force.

that exists. I also don't want to be killing innocent people in the name of the United States. I want to make sure our military is being used for appropriate purposes. Anyway, here's what Hegson has to say. Let's play it. Mr. Secretary, what legal authority did the Pentagon invoke to strike that boat full of drug smuggers? We have the absolute and complete authority to conduct that, first of all, just the defense of the American people alone. A hundred thousand Americans were killed each year under the previous administration because of an open border

and open drug traffic flow. That is an assault on the American people. I said, we smoked a drug boat and there's 11 narco terrorists at the bottom of the ocean. And when other people try to do that, they're going to meet the same thing. And then finally,

when Donald Trump is given an American flag during one of those disastrous press conferences on Friday, he thinks it's a blanket. He thinks the flag is a blanket. Here, play this clue. Okay, Will, you go ahead. And I'd like to leave you with this gift from a constituent.

back in Tennessee. Oh, I could use that at night. It's an American flag. That's very nice. I like Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you very much. That's very nice. Well, there you have it, folks.
