Donald Trump just finished up a disastrous press event at the White House. He brought together tech titans, oligarchs, billionaires. He put them all in the White House and then he brought the press in. Donald Trump was asked a question during this bizarre meeting about uh conversations with Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump cannot understand the question, which was very clearly being asked to him. And then you had Melania almost serving as a caretaker for a very weak and sickly Donald Trump. I'll be doing a whole video on that for the morning. Check it out as Donald Trump's using Melania now as a caretaker. But watch what happens as she tries to help him and saying there, she's asking about Putin. Donald, they're asking about Putin. Watch what goes down here. Play this clip.
"After your phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky today, do you plan to speak with Russia's President Putin in the near future?"
>> "What did what?"
>> "If you will speak with President Putin in the near future?"
>> "I will be. Yeah, I will be. We're having a very good dialogue. Um, I settled seven wars."
>> "Yeah, that's a very concerning uh clip right there indeed. Um, then you had uh Donald Trump being asked if we can trust the job report that's coming out tomorrow morning. It's the first report since Donald Trump unlawfully fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner 'cause Trump didn't like the previous jobs report. You'll recall that a private sector jobs report came out this morning showing that uh there was only 1,400 or so new jobs created, the worst report since the 2009 great recession and even potentially worse than that report. So Donald Trump's asked about the numbers if they're fake tomorrow. And Donald Trump seems to suggest that they may be fake and they won't be the real numbers. He says until about a year from now. What the hell is going on here? Here, play this clip."
>> "Thank you, Mr. President. Tomorrow we have a jobs report coming out. The first since the BLS commissioner who you fired uh won't be there. A lot of people will be turning to you to see if you believe the data that's released. Can you commit >> to saying the data will be credible?"
>> "The the number I don't know they come out tomorrow but uh the real numbers that I'm talking about are going to be whatever it is but we'll be in a year from now when these monstrous huge beautiful places the palaces of genius and when they start opening up you're seeing uh I think you'll see job numbers that are going to be absolutely incredible right now it's a lot of construction numbers but you're going to see job numbers like our country has never seen before."
I'll show you the full exchange once Donald Trump uh gets the message from Melania about if he plans to speak to Putin, but Donald Trump's response is very incoherent. And Donald Trump says, "Uh, I will be speaking with him. Yeah, we have a good dialogue. I've settled seven wars." I know you haven't, but that's Trump's new thing. Seven or 10 wars he claims he settled. One of them he claims is India and Pakistan, which India says you've had nothing to do with. Stop saying that over and over again. Like delusional and deranged Donald Trump. And then Donald Trump says, you know, I thought that this was going to be such an easy thing to solve. Uh, Ukraine and uh Russia. I thought it'd be easy. I get along with them so well. But I was shocked that it's actually very hard. Folks, this right here is the height of incompetence. You promised you would get it done in 24 hours. Nope. Here, play this clip.
"After your phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky today, do you plan to speak with Russia's President Putin in the near future?"
>> "What did what?"
>> "If you will speak with President Putin in the near future?"
>> "I will be. Yeah, I will be. We're having a very good dialogue. Um, I settled seven wars."
"The one that I thought would be maybe one of the easiest. You know that feeling? You think one thing is going to be easier, turns out to be a little bit tougher. But uh, the one that I thought would be an easier one because of my relationship with President Putin and with Ukraine and everything else. I thought it would be the Russia-Ukraine disaster where this week 7,14 people were killed. Soldiers in most cases, soldiers. A few from Kiev, relatively few, but mostly soldiers. And they're being killed at levels that uh we haven't seen since World War II."
And then in another, we really, really weird moment, you have uh one of these like sycophantic press people asking Donald Trump, well, what do you think about uh, like Nigel Farage was here and there's all this UK press censorship taking place of all this free speech because, you know, all this right-wing extremism. People love the hate speech and the violence and all that. Like, why aren't you platforming violence? And then the reporter's like, "Mr. Zuckerberg, what do you want to say about censoring speech in the UK?" And then Zuckerberg's like, he gets like nervous in the question. And he almost looks to Trump like he's looking at his daddy. And then Donald's like, "Oh, you, you didn't know you were going to get these hard questions. Now you're into politics." This whole scene is a bit vomit-inducing. Here, play this clip.
"Mr. President, you'll be heading to the UK in a few weeks. Yesterday, Nigel Farage was on Capitol Hill. He really was talking a lot about uh pushing back on censorship online. He was asking politicians like yourself, some of the people in this room to really push back on that. How concerning is that to you? And and Mr. Zuckerberg, if I don't mind, you don't mind answering, how concerning is that to you, the lack of freedom of speech online in the UK?"
>> "You didn't think you'd get that question? He's looking. He's looking at me. He says, 'How the hell?' He's saying, 'How did I get that question?' If you'd like to answer free speech."
>> "Sorry, I actually wasn't paying attention, but..."
>> "Seems to be a crackdown. The British government seems to be cracking down on social media posts, people being arrested for tweets, uh, social posts. Just wondering how concerning that is to you, Mr. President, and Mr. Zucker."
>> "This is the beginning of your political career. I know it's..."
>> "Uh, I will just say that in terms of uh UK, strange things are happening over there. They are cracking down and surprisingly so and I've spoken to the Prime Minister and uh let's see what happens but uh it is a different, a little bit different situation. Uh, I'm very surprised to see what's happening in."
"Are you talking about the UK in particular?"
"Right, yeah. I'm very surprised to see what's happening. Sad. It's and it's not a, it's not a good thing. Yeah, please."
And then Donald Trump says that he thought that RFK Jr. did a good job at the hearings today. It was quite literally the worst appearance at any hearing I think I've ever seen. Here, play this clip.
>> "That effectively we're denying people vaccines. Do you have full confidence in what RFK Jr. is doing?"
>> "Well, I didn't get to watch the hearings today, but he's a very good person. He's and he means very well and he's got some little different ideas. I guarantee a lot of the people at this table like RFK Junior. I do. Uh, but he's uh, he's got a different take and we want to listen to all of those takes. But I, I heard he did very well today. But it's not your standard uh, it's not your standard talk. I would say that and that has to do with medical and vaccines. But if you look at what's going on in the world with health and look at this country also with regard to health, I like the fact that he's different. Okay."
Then Donald Trump denies meddling in the New York City mayoral election, but then starts to meddle in the New York City mayoral election. Here, play this clip.
>> "Are you urging or encouraging any candidates in the New York City's mayor's race to drop out to clear the field?"
>> "No. I, I don't like to see a communist become mayor. I will tell you that. And I don't think you can win unless uh you have one-on-one because somehow he's gotten a little bit of a lead. I would know. I, I have no idea how that happened. But I'd prefer not to have a communist mayor of New York City. And you know, that's what he is based on his policy if you look at his statements in the past. So, I would uh, I would like to see two people drop out and have it be one-on-one. And I think that's a race that could be won."
And then Donald Trump says he wants to thank the media for being here, even though they reported that he was potentially dying over the weekend. That everyone finds this funny for some reason. It's all one big joke to everybody there, including corporate news, which just pisses me off. Here, play this clip.
>> "Uh, I just want to thank everybody for being here. I want to thank the media. They've been very nice lately, although uh I'm still here. So, we have to. They made a couple of bad predictions. That was not good. I've never had that feeling before. I went to an event and people are coming up to me and saying, 'You're still here.' I said, 'What do they mean by that? I didn't hear about this news.' But anyway, but I, I do. The press has been great in terms of this industry and they understand the importance of it."
And while that is happening, you have Democratic Senator John Ossoff outside the Capitol holding a press conference where he says, "RFK is a freaking fool who's getting our people killed. This regime is quite literally killing people." Play this clip.
>> "Mr. Kennedy never should have received so much as a hearing in the United States Senate. So obviously unqualified and unfit for this office, is he? He never should have been confirmed by the United States Senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool and a wrecking ball. And the destruction of the CDC in Georgia, the systematic dismantling of American public health is putting children and families across the country at risk every single day. This is chaos."
Then you have Governor Pritzker doing an interview with me moments ago where Governor Pritzker talks about how Trump has become obsessed with Pritzker and it's weird and creepy. Play this clip.
>> "We've reduced crime significantly in the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois. We are in the bottom half uh in terms of, you know, uh high violent crime of the states, right? We're we're 19th best in the country. I'd like to be first best in the country. Uh, but 19th is way better than the president is indicating. And and the city of Chicago isn't even in the top 25 most dangerous violent crime cities. Uh, so he needs to do a little reading. Uh, I know he doesn't do much of that. Uh, and instead maybe someone can inform him uh what the facts are, but uh he seems a little obsessed with me and with Chicago. Maybe he's got Pritzker derangement syndrome. Uh, but maybe again, he could just uh, you know, take a beat, learn a few things uh and focus elsewhere, maybe on protecting the country from the axis of evil that is beginning to form between China, Russia, North Korea. And they're drawing in India now."
And then finally, you had MAGA Mike saying that when it comes to the Epstein files, no one's been more transparent than the Donald. Such a transparent guy with Epstein. He releases nothing, attacks the victims, calls it a hoax. As as transparent as you can be. These people think we're morons. No, we're not. We're not your MAGA mushbrain morons. We're freaking pissed at you idiots. By the way, a new YouGov poll that just came out shows that what 65, 67% of Americans say prices have been going up. It should be more 'cause prices are going up like crazy right now. But Trump and the oligarchs are all there. They're talking about what? Consuming all of the energy we need for our homes for their AI data centers um and causing our energy cost to skyrocket. Anyway, play this clip.
>> "I've spoken to the president myself about this many times and he uh is as insistent as we are. He is the most transparent president in memory, probably in the history of the country. As you know, he stops if he was here now, he would stand here and take your questions endlessly. Um, that's his mindset and he wants the American people to have information so they can draw their own conclusions. I've I've talked with him about this very subject myself. So I can tell you that is his heart. Now he also, just as we do, is insistent that we protect the innocent victims and that's what this has been about."
