What a disastrous press conference that just unfolded in the Oval Office. Donald Trump looked sickly.
Starting point is 00:01:52 He was trying to hide his hands. He was surrounded by all of these. Maga Republican senators and Congress members. It almost looked like they were caring for somebody at a hospice. They were like laughing at his weird jokes. Let's get into what went down here. Now, before I do that, I just want to remind you, please hit subscribe to this YouTube channel.
Starting point is 00:02:14 You may think you're subscribed, but you may not be. And we're on our way to 6 million subscribers, as you saw earlier in this week. Trump and MAGA and Fox are attacking us. We need your help to subscribe to help us get to 6 million. And folks, let's get into it right away. So one of the first things that Donald Trump starts to do is when anyone's speaking, he starts making sounds
Starting point is 00:02:34 like Buta Jed-Jedge, Buta-Jed-Judge. And then they laugh at him as though he's like, you know, like an awkward second-grader who's acting inappropriate. This whole crew is so bizarre. Here, play this clip. You have to look at combustion engines. Biden and Buttigieg actually did an analysis using...
Starting point is 00:02:52 Edge-edge. Edge, I'm sorry. Bude Edge Edge. Then Donald Trump goes on to attack affordability. He says affordability is a massive con job. Let's play this. It's a con job. I think affordability is the greatest kind of job.
Starting point is 00:03:07 They look at you and they say, affordability. They don't say anything else. Everyone says, oh, their prices were so low. No, they had the worst inflation. Then as Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee, Maga Republican is speaking, Trump falls asleep. Let's play this clip. Or Nissan or VW or Toyota with the engine plant, what you see is the components that are necessary to build these cars and removing these standards and making cars more affordable.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Donald Trump doesn't realize that Senator Ted Cruz, Maga Republican, is right over his shoulder and that startles him. Here play this clip. Those results very soon. Anybody else want to say a few words? Oh, Ted, I can't believe. I'm easy to miss. It's very rare that I wish. Go ahead, Tim.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Well, Mr. President, I want to congratulate you on behalf of everyone here for the leadership that you're showing, and this is a victory today for consumers. Then Donald Trump says that he's getting all of this money from tariff shelves, and he just found $30 billion from a tariff shelf. Let's play it. About the tariffs is we'll start paying off that debt. The money coming in, they're finding money in our country now that they never do exist. The other day, $30 billion.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Where did it come from? said, why don't you check the tariff show? They said, sir, that tariff hasn't started yet. It doesn't start till January. He said, no, it started two months ago. They called back, sir, you're right. It was from tariffs. Now, we have a whole different country. I hope the Supreme Court, I pray that the Supreme Court understands the importance of the sensible, Really, I mean, this would be country threatening if something happened with regard to that. A reporter asked Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:04:58 if he's willing to release the videotape of the second strike on the survivors of the fishing boat, and Donald Trump said that he would release it. You know they're all trying to cover this up. Great. So release it. Let's release the footage. Let's see it. Here, play this clip.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Mr. President, you release video of that first boat strike on September 2nd, not the second video. Will you release video of that strike so that the American people can see for themselves what happened? I don't know what they have, but whatever they have would certainly release, no problem.
Starting point is 00:05:30 You know, we stopped. Every boat, we knock out. We saved 25,000 American lives. Next, a reporter follows up with Donald Trump about how Putin and the Kremlin are saying that there's no chance of peace with Ukraine unless Ukraine agrees to give up all of Eastern Ukraine. So Trump has asked about that.
Starting point is 00:05:49 And Trump's like, yeah, you know, I don't know. Who knows? Who knows? He goes, but I know that Kushner and Witkoff, you know, the traders who tried to launder the surrender plan of Russia to Ukraine. Yeah, he goes, they had a reasonably good meeting with Putin. Here, play this clip. Oh, in Ukraine, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were there last night with Vladimir Putin. Can you give us an update about those talks? It sounds from what the Kremlin is saying, like they're not going to compromise. Can you tell us what you've... I don't know what the Kremlin's doing. I can tell you that they had a reasonably good meeting
Starting point is 00:06:18 with President Putin. We're going to find out. It's a war that should have never been started. It said, war, if I were president, we had a rigged election. If I were president, that war would have never happened. It's a terrible thing. But I thought they had a very good meeting yesterday with President Putin. We'll see what happens. I mean, a reasonably good meeting with Putin.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Didn't you say there would be peace in Ukraine in 24 hours to such a freaking liar, such a fraud? But Donald Trump said that when he was in office, he told, what, Putin and Zelensky, none of you have cards or something that you don't hold the cards. Here, play this clip. You know, when I was in this office and I talked about no cards, I said, you have no cards. That was the time to settle. I thought that would have been a much better time to settle. But their wisdom decided to have to do that.
Starting point is 00:07:02 They have a lot of things against them right now. But you have President Putin had a very good meeting yesterday with Jared Kushner and with Steve Whitcomb. What comes out of that meeting? I can't tell you. Because it does take two to tango. You know, Ukraine, I think we have something pretty well worked out with them. They're very satisfied, considering. But the sad part is if I were president, no war would have ever happened.
Starting point is 00:07:27 They would have had 100% of their territory. Nothing would have happened. It's a very sad situation. If you could stop somebody from breaking in before they got inside, why wouldn't you? Most old school systems go after someone when they're already in your place. That's too late.

Starting point is 00:08:56 photographers from getty got a shot of that right there take a look at donald trump's hand let's take a look here as donald trump then just goes on a random rant against somalian people that's his new target because he realizes he needs latinos to vote for him for the midterm so he doesn't get impeached and thrown out. And so now he's just going after Somalians. And then he said Obama led in Somalians. It's just the fact that Donald Trump attacks black people. Like that's what's happening here, obviously,
Starting point is 00:09:25 because Trump's a racist. Here will play this clip. All she does is complain about this country. Without this country, she would not be in very good shape. She probably wouldn't be alive right now. So Somalia is considered by many to be the worst country on Earth. I don't know. I haven't been there.
Starting point is 00:09:42 I won't be there anytime soon, I hope. But what Somalia, what the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It's not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack Hussein Obama, because that's when people started coming in. And you have to have people come in that are going to love our country, cherish our country. cherish our country. They want to kiss our country good night. They talk about our country. We want them to pray for our country. This is not the people living in Minnesota. And she's a disaster.
Starting point is 00:10:23 She should not be, and her friend should be allowed. Frankly, they shouldn't even be allowed to be Congress people, okay? They shouldn't even be allowed to be Congress people because they don't represent the interests of our country. Then Donald Trump tells Elon Omar Congresswoman to go back to her own country. She's American. Here play this clip. And the Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her.
Starting point is 00:10:50 She's always talking about the Constitution provides me with, go back to your own country and figure out your constitution. All she does is complain about this country. And without this country, she would not be in very good shape. She probably wouldn't be alive right now. Then Donald Trump has asked about how the MAGA Republicans in the House judiciary Committee, they want to do a secret deposition of Jack Smith, but Jack Smith wants to do it in public. But the MAGA Republicans don't want to do it in public, is they're afraid of Jack Smith?
Starting point is 00:11:20 Just think about that. So Trump has asked about that. Here, play this clip. The House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed Jack Smith to ask about his investigation of you. I wonder, for a deposition, I wonder if you'd prefer to see that as a hearing so that the American public can see the questions and the responses more easily. I'd rather see it probably at a hearing. Look, Jack Smith is. a thug. He's a failed prosecutor. He's a bad man. He's a bad. He's an evil man. He hurt a lot of people. Forget about me. You know, I do this stuff, but I got indicted many times by a guy that they were dismissed. He's a bad guy. He's a sick man. There's something wrong with him,
Starting point is 00:12:03 actually. I think Jack Smith is a sick man. There's something really wrong with him. I'd rather see him testify publicly because there's no way he can answer the question. A reporter then asked Donald Trump, well, if there were survivors who were killed clinging on to the rafts, what's your view about that? Watch what Donald Trump says. Mr. President, if the vote strikes, if it is found that survivors were actually killed while clinging on to that vote, should Secretary Hed Seth, Admiral Bradley, or others be punished? I think you're going to find that this is war, that these people were killing our people by the millions, actually, if you look over a few years. I think last year we lost close to 300,000 people were killed. That's not mentioning all the families.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Have you seen what happens with the families? Not only the people killed, the people that are trying to get their son or their daughter off of this poison that they've been fed, I think you're going to find that there's a very receptive ear to doing exactly what they're doing, taking out those boats. And very soon we're going to start doing it on land, too, because we know every route, we know every house. We know where they manufacture this crap. We know where they put it all together. And I think you're going to see it very soon on land also.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Yeah, please. So to be clear, you support the decision to kill survivors after the end of the No, I support the decision to knock out the boats. And whoever is piloting those boats, most of them are gone. But whoever are piloting those boats, they're guilty of trying to kill people in our country. Yeah, please. Yeah, I mean, let's face it. Look, Donald Trump's a war criminal.
Starting point is 00:13:35 I mean, he is. He's a genocidal war criminal. criminal is who he is, and he surrounds himself with war criminals in his cabinet. These are sick, disgusting people who should be in war tribunals. Let's just call it what it is. Trump is a racist. Trump is a sexual abuser. Trump is a criminal.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Trump is a disgusting human being. And his cabinet members are disgusting human beings as well. Trump attacks affordability again and calls it a con job. Play it. It's a con job. They caused the highest prices, the history of our country, the worst inflation in the history of our country. and we're getting those prices down and they're coming down rapidly
Starting point is 00:14:11 and you'll see those results very soon. Donald Trump doesn't even know this guy behind him. Let's have this man speak here, play this clip. Can we talk about it? Right here is a man, come here. Let me say hello to you. Please, go ahead. Thank you, Mr. President, for your leadership
Starting point is 00:14:29 with the thing I've admired most. You've been in business, you've been in the battles over the years, and you're helping us lead us out. Most people that are up here have no idea about business or small business makes a big difference. And one is, number two is I would just say in terms of the tax stuff we're talking about. One of the things that get missed, and I'm in Florida, a Sarasota region, is the ability to deduct. Most people have a small business, they'll have a law business, so have this, that if I knew or used truck.
Starting point is 00:14:58 And then you'll just see the sycophants in this room just like laughing at Donald Trump or like they're laughing to show that like, oh, we get the joke. just so pathetic here play this clip for the auto manufacturers people aren't even going to believe the impact this has you know mike used to come to my rallies all the time we'd have a rally it was like zero degrees it was freezing everywhere and he'd sit there without a shirt on and i didn't need that you know i didn't say it was pretty man he would sit there and a call that he didn't mind it at all i said that's one tough cookie right you lit it up there you have it folks that's what happened remember to subscribe help us get to six million we appreciate you love this video support independent media and unlock exclusive content add free videos and
