This was uniquely the worst week in presidential transition history. It couldn't have gone worse for Donald Trump. Donald Trump, who boasts about the stock market this well, the stock market tanked this past week as the markets are completely rattled by Donald Trump's completely insane cabinet picks. You don't get much more insane than the cabinet picks. Psychotic, dangerous, unqualified, potentially treasonous and traitorous picks. I mean, you've got just the kind of clumsy and weird and even outside of his cabinet, like meet your new White House communications director, everybody, Steve Chung right there. But you move into the actual

cabinet, you've got RFK Jr. to lead health and human services, someone who says we shouldn't do research into infectious disease, someone who said that COVID was like manufactured from 5G radio signals in order to overtake world markets with like Bitcoin. I can't even follow this guy's dangerous unhinged conspiracies who wants to ban fluoride from water, who wants to basically fire everybody at HHS. Great pick there, Donald, the most dangerous person. Oh, then this guy right here, Peter Hegsip, the weekend Fox & Friends host, Peter Hegsip. And I don't want to hear, oh, well, Biden's hired people who were less qualified.

No, no, it's just not true. This is the most unqualified human being to ever set foot near the Defense Department, yet alone become the Secretary of Defense. What a middle finger to the hardworking people who are going to give this guy the nuclear codes right there. Also, it was revealed that he has sexual assault allegations against him stemming back from 2017, which he denies. Cheated on his first wife with his second wife. Cheated on his second wife with his third wife, who he had a baby with while he was married. The third wife's a Fox host. Family values, eh? The party of family values, eh? Then Matt Gaetz as attorney general, who is under investigation for being a pedo. Yeah, just being a pedo. Attorney general. Someone

who's never really practiced law in his entire career. Great pick there, Donald. Matt Gaetz as AG, someone uniquely unqualified and who has the moral character of Jeffrey Epstein. Oh, wait a minute, Donald. You were flying around in Epstein's jet during the campaign, the Lolita Express or whatever Epstein's plane was. Epstein tapes came out and your name was on it, but corporate media didn't want to talk about it. But I digress. We go from Matt Gates, Peter Hegseth. Oh, how about Tulsi Gabbard to be the director of national intelligence? Yes, someone who many believe to be directly compromised by Russia, who literally parrots word for word Russian propaganda. Someone who, when the Syrian dictator unleashed chemical weapons against his own people, she went rogue, or perhaps she went Tulsi, and she went to Syria to hang out with him and give him a pat on the back and then tell America, he's our guy.

We like chemical weapons against our own people. Oh, and then how about Mike Huckabee for, oh, didn't you sign peace plaques in Dearborn, Michigan, to assure the Arab community that you got their back, even though you had Muslim bans in 2016. But they seem to believe you because the Palestinian and Arab communities actually voted for you over Vice President Kamala Harris. But now, this week, they were out there saying, Biden, please help. Donald Trump's doing the genocide. He wants to lead the genocide.

In fact, Mike Huckabee, who Donald Trump picked to be the ambassador to Israel, doesn't even believe that the word Palestine is a word. Won't actually call the West Bank the West Bank. He calls it Judea and Sumera and says that the West Bank is just a fictional concept. And the term Palestine, he says, isn't real, not for a two-state solution. They want to demolish it, genocide it, the things that they actually said during the campaign while Vice President Kamala Harris said we need to have a ceasefire and a two-state solution. But now the Arab communities, I'm not

sure if they want to admit it or they're out there still yelling at Biden for some reason, but okay, that happened this week as well with Huckabee. Oh, and by the way, you created a fake agency this week. What a mature thing to do. There's now the Doji agency, which according to Twitter is an official government agency. Why? Because I guess you just say so. And America's kakistocracy, which means government of the stupid, you could just say idiocracy, which go, okay, I guess there's a government agency with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy who are fake cabinet liberals. Let's just play dress up and just have fake cabinet leaders right now. And again, I wonder why the markets are crashing.

I wonder why now, since you've taken office, we went from record stock markets. We haven't taken office yet. While you're still in transition, now we have a 75% chance of a recession, which I think is a conservative estimate. It's probably more than that. But wait a minute. If we go back to 2019, there was a manufacturing recession back in 2019. I know people want to be like, oh, but Donald, poor Donald, he was doing so good. And then COVID just happened. And it wasn't like Donald Trump said that it wasn't real. And that was a hoax and like a miracle, it was all going to go away. And then COVID just happened. And it wasn't like Donald Trump said that it wasn't real. It was a hoax and like a miracle, it was all going to go away. And he handled it so irresponsibly

that it caused way more devastation than it ever had to. He actually been a freaking leader back in 2019 because it's called COVID-19 and actually sent our medical personnel to deal with the situation and be transparent with the American people. But why do any of that? Anyway, I digress. A Doge agency where Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy say they're going to basically cut $3 trillion. So say bye-bye, Social Security. Say bye-bye to your Medicare. Say bye-bye to your health care. Well, RFK Jr., of course, was saying bye-bye to all of that anyway. Just see the comparison right here. A retired four-star general who MAGAs will say, that's a DEI hire. And Lloyd Austin, the defense secretary, imminently qualified working for President Biden.

Just say you're racist. DEI hire. You picked a Fox & Friends weekend host. What in the world are we talking about? Wait, did you hear that? Did you hear that? Cricket. hear that? Did you hear that? Cricket. Cricket.

Did you hear that? Cricket. Oh, that is Donald Trump's Homeland Security Director, Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, who killed her dog Cricket and her goats and her horses and God knows what else. She's now our Homeland Security. She was doing the YMCA dance, though, knows what else. She's now our Homeland Security. She was doing the YMCA dance, though, with Donald. They love the YMCA dance.

She was doing that and other dance moves for 45 minutes or so when she would host town halls. And, of course, corporate media wasn't saying that's the most bizarre thing ever. No, whatever. Let's talk about international affairs, Donald Trump's worst week ever. Donald Trump said, I struggle. Remember what his promise that's already broken? He was saying in 24 hours of him being elected, he said that he would call Vladimir Putin, he would call Zelensky, and he would end the war in Ukraine. Russia's unlawful invasion in Ukraine. But you didn't do that.

You put Tulsi Gabbard there. Maybe that's part of your overall plan to do with Ukraine. But then Donald Trump leaks to The Washington Post. Remember this from this week? This is all this week. I feel like I'm talking about months right now. I'm talking about this freaking week. He leaks to The Washington Post that he spoke to Putin and he very powerfully told Putin, de-escalate, de-escalate. So what does Vladimir Putin say? Does he go, yep, we had that conversation. We are interested in productive relations. No, Vladimir Putin said that any insinuation that there was a phone call between me and Donald Trump is, quote, pure fiction. In other words, Vladimir Putin alpha-ing, dominating, putting Donald Trump in his little beta place. And that's what America is right now to Russia, a laughingstock. The rest of the world's horrified, but to Russia and our adversaries, they're laughing at us.

On Russia State TV this week, again, all this week, the stuff I'm talking about, again, feels like a month, this week, Russia TV started posting nudes of Melania and laughing at her and saying, your body, your choice, your body, your choice. Right, Melania? That's what they were saying on Russian propaganda TV over and over again.

You have Republicans even taking to Fox and saying, this is disastrous. Matt Gaetz, Peter Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard. Who are they? What are you doing? What are you doing? if the Senate actually wants to have his advice and consent function.

It's constitutional duty. The MAGA candidate, by the way, Rick Scott, lost in the first round of majority leader votes. Now it's a McConnell protégé in Senator John Thune from South Dakota. He's the one who will be leading. He's the Senate majority leader now. So now what? Now we go into hearings with Gates and RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. And we have these public hearings.

Well, me thinks that what's going to happen. Let me just give you my prediction right now. Donald Trump, even if the Senate says they're not agreeing to recess appointments, Donald Trump's going to invoke an archaic provision of the Constitution. And he's going to say, all of my cabinets, they're acting cabinet members. I'm not going through the Senate. They're my people. There will be a showdown. There will be litigation before the Supreme Court. All the while, Donald Trump's doing bloody mass deportations. Remember, Stephen Miller was also given a role in immigration.

Also, all the Latinos for Trump now are Googling. Wait, mass deportations? Is that real? Am I going to get rounded up? Workplace raids. Workplace raids is what Trump is talking about. He brought in Tom Homan to be the border czar. We'll keep you posted, but you don't really get more worse of a week than that. The question is, are people waking up? There's some signs of that, but
