Speaker 5 What What was that? Donald Trump's interview on Fox moments ago. Bizarre, to say the least, a total disaster.
Speaker 5
It was with Laura Ingraham, and Donald Trump points out on his desk that the button you see is for his Coca-Cola. It's not the nuclear codes, he says.
Here, play this clip.
Speaker 6 The Coke button.
Speaker 7 It's right here. Everyone thinks that's the nuclear weapon.
Speaker 7 Everyone thinks that's the nuclear weapon.
Speaker 5 Seriously? Then Donald Trump says this. Let's play it.
Speaker 8 Going down when we're servicing our debt to the tune of about $1.2 trillion a year. And there's still deficit spending in Congress.
Speaker 7 How do we do that? We have to pay off our debt. We have to start paying it off.
Speaker 7 Look, we're very underleveraged when you look at the asset value of this country, but we're over-leveraged in terms of cash flow. We're going to have big cash flow.
Speaker 7
We're going to take in for years, we allowed our country to be raped and pillaged. Raped and pillaged.
Terrible expressions. And that's what happened.
Much of it was done by our friends.
Speaker 5 Next, Donald Trump talks about the trillions of dollars that the country is going to make by selling Trump gold cards to Chinese and Russian oligarchs. Seriously, play it.
Speaker 7 Let's say we sell a million of them. That's $5 trillion.
Speaker 7 We are now an unbelievably
Speaker 7
successful country, paying down tremendous amounts of debt. It's all going to pay down debt.
We're going to have very little debt.
Speaker 7 But if you did think of it, if you did $5 million now.
Speaker 5 Donald Trump then says the country has been fat, dumb, and foolish.
Speaker 5 Looking in the mirror, you're play this clip.
Speaker 8 There's going to be a summit in June.
Speaker 7
It could be. I mean, I wouldn't mind a summit, but there's going to be something else taking place.
It's called April 2nd. And that's going to be tariffs.
Speaker 7 And China will pay, and other countries will pay.
Speaker 7 We've been ripped off by every country in the world, friend and foe. And on April 2nd, I call it the liberation of America.
Speaker 7 We've been the fat, dumb, foolish country that allowed everybody to rip us off, including our friends.
Speaker 5 Next up, Donald Trump shows Laura Ingraham a photo of the Declaration of Independence, which he pretends is the original copy of the Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 5
It is not the actual Declaration of Independence. It's not the original.
But this is what hucksters do. Play this clip.
Reagan.
Speaker 7
I love Reagan. But here's what they like more than anything.
So this is the Declaration of Independence. Wow.
And they
Speaker 7 ask that this be done.
Speaker 7 It's never been up, it's been in the vaults for many, many decades.
Speaker 7 And they said
Speaker 7 we have to do something like grapes or something because the light eventually affects it.
Speaker 7 and it's very cool
Speaker 7 oh my gosh
Speaker 5 isn't that great
Speaker 7 just woke up yesterday wow
Speaker 7 think joe biden would do this i don't think so you think he'd think of it do you think he knows what it is
Speaker 5 no but look at his soul i mean he has to lie about literally everything that's not the original declaration of independence he's made up the whole story next
Speaker 5
uh donald trump says that all of his people, they want to call the Trump gold card. They want to call it a gold card or the Trump card.
They're trying to figure out the branding right now.
Speaker 5 Let's play this clip.
Speaker 7 It's a graduation.
Speaker 7 They'll buy these.
Speaker 8 Why should any American kid become a computer?
Speaker 7
And by the way, they're going to call it either the gold card. The problem is, is mini gold cards.
Well, I will tell you what my people want to call it. It'll drive you crazy.
Speaker 7 It'll drive the left crazy. They want to call it the Trump card because the Trump card sells much better than the gold card.
Speaker 8 Everybody has a you're not worried about any unsavory people coming in and taking out.
Speaker 7 I'm worried about unsavory, in which case we're gonna be vetted. Give them the money back and they get out.
Speaker 8 They'll be properly vetted.
Speaker 7 Oh, they're gonna be properly vetted, but you know, we're talking about a lot of people. I think it's gonna be very successful.
Speaker 7 If somebody's wrong, we get we actually are very nice because it makes it a lot easier legally. We give them their money back and we send them out.
Speaker 5 Now
Speaker 5 so, as american people are suffering now economically as prices are not going down as people are seeing their pensions and 401ks and life savings disappear as donald trump lies about all of his promises should we call it the gold card for the oligarchs or do we call it the trump card
Speaker 5 so ridiculous next donald trump says that he's a nationalist and as a nationalist he will make sure america does less business with europe here play this clip from somewhere some of it's going to come from Europe because not everybody's going to be doing as much business maybe in Europe and other places.
Speaker 7
But I can only speak for the United States. And I am a nationalist and I'm proud of it.
I love this country.
Speaker 7 And I want to help other countries too.
Speaker 5
Then Donald Trump and Laura Ingraham walk outside of the White House. And he says that he wasn't sure about running in 2024 because he says the 2020 election was rigged.
Play it.
Speaker 8 You're coming back into office when you walked out of here.
Speaker 7 Well, I felt that, but but I didn't know.
Speaker 7 Let me say it.
Speaker 7 I didn't know if I was going to run
Speaker 7 because I knew how much I won that election by.
Speaker 7 But if I thought I didn't win the election, I absolutely wouldn't have run.
Speaker 7 But
Speaker 5 he's still whining about the 2020 election right now. This guy is a perpetual whiner.
Speaker 5 Next up, Donald Trump talks about why he's paving over the rose garden because of women's high heels who walk over the rose garden and play it.
Speaker 8 Are you paving over the grass here?
Speaker 7 What was happening is that's supposed to have events. Every event you have, it's soaking wet.
Speaker 7 It's soaking wet and people can't, and the women with the high heels, it's just too.
Speaker 8 That's who did the Kavanaugh.
Speaker 7 That's right.
Speaker 7 The grass just, it doesn't work, and we have a gorgeous zone and everything else.
Speaker 7
But, you know, we use it for press conferences and it doesn't work because the people fall into the you know into the wet roses stay the grass garden. The roses stay.
No, it's a rose garden.
Speaker 7 No, all of this is
Speaker 7
just the center section. It's going to, I think it's going to be beautiful.
I think it's going to be more beautiful. Look at that view over there.
Speaker 9 See that? You guys, it's possibly my favorite time of the week when I get to talk to you about coffee. My days don't start till I drink my coffee and I'm not talking about just any coffee.
Speaker 9
You know I don't mess with just any coffee. I'm talking about freshly roasted specialty coffee delivered right to my door thanks to Trade.

Speaker 9 specialty coffee marketplace, working with over 50 of the country's top roasters to bring you fresh, incredible coffee at grocery store prices.
Speaker 9 I took their quick coffee quiz, and they matched me with the greatest bag of coffee from Columbia from a roaster named Clatch Coffee. I could smell it before I even opened the bag.
Speaker 9
The flavor is incredible. Fruity notes, even a hint of vanilla, I'd say.
So good. And if you're picky about coffee, Trade makes sure that you get it right.

Speaker 5 I mean, seriously, what the hell are we even watching here?
Speaker 5 Sometimes when I cover what they're doing on Fox and these Trump interviews, I think to myself, this would make Kim Jong-un's propagandists blush. Like, what, really?
Speaker 5 It's also odd. Here, Laura Ingraham, I guess, at least asks a somewhat normal question.
Speaker 5 Do you feel it makes sense to you to allow people like, I don't know, Russian oligarchs and Chinese oligarchs to buy American citizenship? And Trump goes, yeah, that's American first.
Speaker 7 Let's play it.
Speaker 8 With Canada than you are with someone,
Speaker 8 our biggest adversary is.
Speaker 7 Only because it's meant to be our 51st straight. Okay, but
Speaker 7 listen to this for a second.
Speaker 8
We need their territory. They have territorial advantage.
We're not
Speaker 8 going to be close to China.
Speaker 7
Look, I deal with every country, indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada.
The people that, now this was Trudeau, the people that
Speaker 7 good old Justin, I call him Governor Trudeau,
Speaker 7 his people were nasty.
Speaker 7
And they weren't telling the truth. They never told the truth.
You know that,
Speaker 7
you know, they'd say, well, we don't charge. Well, they do.
They charge tremendous. They charge tremendous.
Speaker 5
And I just think to myself, like, what MAGA person watches and goes, yeah, man, give those Chinese oligarchs citizenship here. That's what we voted for.
America first.
Speaker 5 What?
Speaker 5 And then Donald Trump talks about
Speaker 5 he can tell by looking at the people who's going to be trouble, who the people who show up in the country, unchecked and vetted.
Speaker 5 He goes, you just look at them you can profile them and you can tell which ones are going to be trouble play this clip nobody has any idea we had people pouring through our country totally unchecked totally unvetted you could look at them and say this is going to be trouble and yeah you see that's why we need due process that's why we have a due process so that donald trump doesn't look at people who have a different color skin than him and go, oh, that person's trouble.
Speaker 5 So I guess we're going to send them to concentration concentration camps in El Salvador, and you can't challenge it. And I'm declaring a war with Venezuela that doesn't exist.
Speaker 5
So I can declare war powers and you can't question me. That's what Trump's saying and doing.
Look, I think there should be due, call me old-fashioned. I believe in due process.
Speaker 5
I believe if someone's committed a crime, they should pay the penalty for the crime. I'm a strong believer in law and order.
Well, then show me the crime. Just prove it.
Show the evidence, right?
Speaker 5 That's what a country of law and order is. Donald Trump's then asked if we're going to have a recession in 2025, to which Trump says, we have the strongest country in the history of the planet.
Speaker 5 Let's play it.
Speaker 7 71%.
Speaker 8 Will we see a recession in 2025? Are you ruling it out?
Speaker 7 We're going to have the strongest economic country in the history of the world, of the planet. We are taking...
Speaker 5 After that bizarre press conference, you then have Howard Luttnick, Donald Trump's commerce secretary, goes on the state regime media known as Fox and he says, you need to buy Tesla.
Speaker 5 You need to buy Tesla stock right now.
Speaker 10
Play it. To build the next generation technology.
I think if you want to learn something on this show tonight, buy Tesla. It's unbelievable that this guy's stock is this cheap.
Speaker 10 It'll never be this cheap again.
Speaker 10 When people understand the things he's building, the robots he's building, the technology he's building, people are going to be dreaming of today and Jesse Waters and thinking, gosh i should have bought uh elon musk's stock i mean who wouldn't invest in elon musk you got to be kidding all right so you're calling yes so you have the commerce secretary trying to pump up tesla stock
Speaker 5 again i i
Speaker 5 we can't normalize this behavior you're the commerce secretary and you're pumping up an oligarch stock who then gives money to trump like we all know that this is not how the system's supposed to be like this should piss you off.
Speaker 5 I want to share this with you to close this video, which is a small portion of my interview with Senator Bernie Sanders. And I think it stands in such stark contrast to what I shared with you.
Speaker 5
You may agree with me, you may disagree, but watch this message. And this is why I'm a big fan of Senator Sanders and his fight the oligarchy tour.
This was my interview with him.
Speaker 5 Just play this small clip.
Speaker 6 And here is the reality, which is not talked talked about very much.
Speaker 6 The reality is that in America today, our life expectancy is about four years
Speaker 6 less than other wealthy countries. But even worse is the fact that if you're working class in America, on average, you live seven to eight years shorter life than people who are wealthy.
Speaker 6 Now, why is that? And the answer is not just healthcare, which is important.
Speaker 6 Working class people, low-income low-income people do not have access to the kind of healthcare that the rich do, but it is the stress,
Speaker 6
the day-to-day stress that working class people live under. And I grew up in a working class home.
I know a little bit about what it's like to have a family living paycheck to paycheck.
Speaker 6 And what I did, that was in Altoona, Wisconsin. I said, okay.
Speaker 6 All right, tell me what it's like to live under economic stress. And people just stood up.
Speaker 6 and one woman says you know it's a question of whether I buy shoes for myself or my kids whether I can afford eyeglasses whether I can afford to go to the doctor whether you know I'm gonna have the money to prepare a decent meal for my kids
Speaker 6 that I live every day not knowing you know what to expect how do I survive
Speaker 6 and what that is about that is the reality that tens of millions of our people are living under. We don't talk about it.
Speaker 6 And what I have learned over the years that some of the most important issues are the issues that get least discussion.
Speaker 6
And one of those issues is not just the working class people live six years shorter lives, seven years shorter lives than the rich. That's important.
Why is that?
Speaker 6 But what's equally important is 60% of the American people in the richest country on earth live paycheck to paycheck. That means they go to work.
Speaker 6 And
Speaker 6 if their landlord raises the rent, they don't know how they're going to be able to pay for it. Kid gets sick, don't know how to
Speaker 6 afford to send the kid to the doctor, car breaks down, don't know how to get it fixed, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 6 That is the reality facing tens of millions of Americans in the wealthiest country on earth. And that is the issue that we got to focus on.
Speaker 6 And that is why we got to transform our economy so that it works for everybody, not just billionaires.
Speaker 5 See the difference there?
