That video was taken in Los Angeles, California, where an unlawful assembly was declared after ICE was engaged in vicious raids in courthouses in Los Angeles, in factories in Los Angeles, at Home Depots in Los Angeles and factories in Los Angeles, at Home Depots in Los Angeles. And while all of that's taking place in LA and across the United States, we highlighted

what was going on in San Diego, in Memphis, in Massachusetts, and frankly in every state. Here's what Donald Trump's been posting. Just inspected the site of a new ballroom that will be built compliments of a man known as Donald J Trump at the White House for 150 years presidents and many others have wanted a big beautiful ballroom The hell and then Donald Trump repost Roger Stone saying it's time to put President Trump on Mount Rushmore Congresswoman Annapolina Luna has sponsored legislation to put Trump on Mount Rushmore. Congresswoman Annapolina Luna has sponsored legislation to put Trump on Mount Rushmore and he urges people to

support that initiative. So while Donald Trump is posting about Mount Rushmore, you have things escalating in Los Angeles here. Play this clip right here. But what is Donald Trump doing? Well, he's posting things like this. The new presidential portrait of one of the most consequential presidents in world history. That's what he's posting. Or he's reposting this message by David Shone, who goes, I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein's defense as his criminal lawyer, nine days before he died. He

sought my advice months before that. I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him. So Donald Trump's reposting a dude who literally knew Epstein nine days before Epstein died and Donald Trump thinks that that's helpful to him. Meanwhile, Trump's feud with Elon Musk continues and Elon Musk writes, I will apologize profusely as soon as there is a full dump of the Epstein files. Elon Musk says that the reason Donald Trump has not released the Epstein files is because

the DOJ is covering it up because Donald Trump's name is all over it. And Donald Trump seems pretty scared about Elon Musk. Donald Trump was on Air Force One. He was asked about Elon Musk and Donald Trump said on Air Force One, he was asked about Elon Musk, and Donald Trump said, I just wish him well. I just wish him well is what Donald Trump said. Here, play this clip. What's your view on Elon Musk as of today? I mean, are you a bird from him at all? Honestly, I've been so busy working on China, working on Russia, working on Iran, working

on something, but I'm not thinking about him. On the China? I I wish him well, this is what's going on outside of MDC in Los Angeles. Take a look at, you see ICE officers, LAPD, ATF, and protesters right there. Here, play this clip. And I think seeing the contrast between these images just shows you what's happening in America, how detached Donald Trump is. And it's not just Donald Trump sending ICE to disappear migrants in courthouses and construction sites.

It's like people who are following the law and people who are working, that's who ICE is attacking, but Donald Trump is not addressing the horrible storms that have killed dozens of Americans over the past month or several weeks. No mention of that. No mention of our troops who have died in Lithuania and two troops who died in New Mexico. He doesn't mention that.

And then when Donald Trump's asked these softball questions, like on Air Force One, did the Ukraine drone air strike against the bombers? Did that change your view that Zelensky has the cards? Zelensky's incredible military operation against Russia. Donald Trump's response is, no, that just gave Putin a reason to go and bomb the hell out of them. So again, Donald Trump takes Putin's side here on Air Force One. Play this clip. Did the Ukraine drone strikes against the bombers inside Russia, the airfields, did that change your view at all?

The cards he has. Well, they gave Putin a reason to go and pop the hell out of him. Last night, that's the thing I didn't like about it. When I saw it, I said, here we go. Now it's going to be a strike. You know, I did something that people don't talk about, I don't talk about very much. But we solved a big problem, a nuclear problem,

potentially with India and with Pakistan. And I spoke to Pakistan, I spoke to India, and they have really great leaders. And they were going at it, and they could have gone on a nuclear bomb, nuclear country, stronger countries. And they talked about trade, and they said, we're not doing trade, if you guys throw bombs at each other, they both stop. And I stopped them immediately.

That was going, as you know, that was going much further. Hopefully not to nuclear, but it might have gone to nuclear. In fact, it might have gone to nuclear in the next round, but we stopped it. And I'd like to comment the leaders of both the actors and the community. And again, we just have the most pathetic person in the Oval Office. Every aspect of this guy is pathetic. You know what? He's gearing up for a military parade. A dude who's never been in war before, who's never had a military victory is doing a military parade on his birthday.

It's also despicable. And also another taco moment, Trump always chickens out. Remember when Donald Trump said, no way, no how, under no circumstances will he be bringing Abrego Garcia home? Abrego Garcia, the migrant who lived in Maryland, who was disappeared to Seacott, the detention center, I call it a concentration camp in El Salvador, the Supreme Court said facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia. Trump said never going to happen. Well, they did bring back Abrego Garcia on Friday, but then the Trump regime immediately

indicted a Brego Garcia on a trafficking charge for bringing other migrants into the United States in a conspiracy to commit trafficking. But then Trump and Pam Bondi started linking a Breg Garcia to like child trafficking and like being a terrorist and things that were nowhere in the indictment either. But here's what Trump says about a brego play this clip. As soon as Abrego Garcia was indicted, Ben Schrader, who spent 15 years working in the United States Attorney's Office in Nashville because the indictment happened in Nashville, Tennessee, Ben Schrader, former chief of the criminal division. He quit. He posted his resignation actually on LinkedIn.

The moment that politicized indictment dropped. And this is someone who was in the Obama administration, the Trump administration, Biden administration, and now Trump administration. It is interesting to see what they're talking about on right wing media. This is what Charlie Kirk says about Trump. Play this clip. Now 10 years later, we're supposed to believe that it's going to be a smoking gun of something on right wing media. This is what Charlie Kirk says about Trump playing this clip. There's probably thousands of names in the Epstein files. Was he part of the Epstein client list? Absolutely not.

That is complete nonsense. But to say that Donald Trump is not releasing the Epstein files because he's in them in some incriminating way, yes, it's very clear that if you live in Palm Beach, you might've been mentioned and caught up in some sort of conversation with Jeffrey Epstein and this is in Memphis Yesterday, here's what went down a hat tip to the Tennessee holler for posting play this clip

As Justin Wolfers explains he's an economist he's a professor at Get back! Get back! Why? Why? You're saying why? As Justin Wolfers explains, he's an economist, he's a professor at University of Michigan, he says, here's the progress report on the 90 countries the White House is negotiating trade deals with. There's zero deals in 90 days so far. What happened in the United Kingdom was not a deal. It was just Donald Trump capitulating. It says, this is not a deal. On the bottom it says, this is a memorandum of understanding and not a

binding deal. The unemployment rate is slowly creeping up. It is really the highest it's been I think since like 2021. There was some growth in the healthcare sector and in restaurants, but there was no growth really anywhere else. We lost 8,000 manufacturing jobs in the past month. There was 92,000 jobs lost. There was a revision over the past two months of jobs that were lost. And then again, while you have these horrific images that I've been showing you across the country, this is Donald Trump golfing. And here's just kind of what Donald Trump, this is what he goes about and does. This was taken a few months ago, but this just goes to show you like, this is what he's

doing. He's just a gross dude. Here, play this just goes to show you like this is what he's doing. He's just a gross dude. Here, play this clip. Hey. Oh, look at that. Oh, I love that girl. I love that hair.

I want her hair. You're a pirate. Can I buy your hair? I'll pay you millions. What were you going to call the court? I voted for you. Wow. I voted for you.

It should also be noted that Washington, D.C.''s Reagan National Airport is set to close on June 14th because of Trump's birthday military parade. So Trump's going to be causing massive flight delays. You have Donald Trump posting the following Trump meme coin is a tracker of his success somehow. He's touting his meme coin is a tracker of his success somehow. He's touting his meme coin. How disgusting is that? And then the last thing I want to point out is here's Peter Navarro talking about, oh, don't worry. The deals are coming with Maria Bartiroma. Play this clip.

Are you expecting more trade deals in the near term? Peter we keep hearing that you know India could be next and the EU is doing this fast tracking when are we going to have more deals to talk about in terms of tariff deals? Well the United States Trade Representative Building I don't know if you've ever been over there it's right across the street it's a historic building and played a really important role in the Civil War but it looks more like a deli now where you go in and you get your number and you stand in line and you do that so you can negotiate with James and Greer, the USTR, and Howard Ludnick, the Secretary of Commerce. And that's what we're doing.

We've got a formula and a template. We go through five different verticals to make sure the American people are protected. And we will have deals. It takes time. Usually it takes months and years. In this administration, it's gonna take more like days. We're on task and on target. And at the end of the day, you know what we want, Maria.

All we want is fairness. We have the highest tariffs facing us in the world, the highest trade barriers. It's not a China problem. It's a world problem. And we're going to fix it because that's what President Trump does. I'm going to do a whole nother hot take on what's going down in Los Angeles. I want you to watch that.
