Speaker 7 This was complete and utter mayhem. Who thought this would be a good idea? Donald Trump held some event in front of McDonald franchise owners.
And during this event, Trump was just an absolute mess.

Speaker 7 He couldn't really even speak in complete sentences. He started making noises when he talked about like the fish being sold at McDonald's.
He was like, shoop, shoop, shoop.

Speaker 7 It was very, very odd behavior. And then Donald Trump claimed that everything is much more affordable right now.

Speaker 7 Then he attacked the idea of raising the minimum wage in a press conference about affordability. Some strange, strange stuff.
So let me just show you what went down.

Speaker 7 Here, Donald Trump says he likes fish and then starts making fish noises. Let's play this clip.

Speaker 8 I like the fish.

Speaker 8 I like it.

Speaker 8 You could do a little bit more tartar sauce, so please. Seriously.

Speaker 8 I hate when I say, do you have any tartar sauce?

Speaker 7 do you understand that yes he had he understands it then he randomly starts talking about how he renamed the gulf of mexico the gulf of america and he says i know this has nothing to do with mcdonald's but i think i want to tell you this what is going on here play this clip you know what they want to sugar isn't that nice i said you got to go to sugar just like i said why is the Gulf of Mexico called the Gulf of Mexico.

Speaker 8 I said, we're changing the name. And now it's it's the Gulf of America.
It has nothing to do with McDonald's, but maybe it does because

Speaker 8 it's very nice. Cyclone.
We have 92% of the shoreline. They have 8%.
I wouldn't say I made a lot of friends in Mexico, but they still like me.

Speaker 7 Then Donald Trump says that we're going to make the American Dream a word or two words you didn't have. He said, remember with Biden, it was three words, the American dream.

Speaker 7 Now we're going to make it two words. What in the world is this guy talking about? Here play this clip.

Speaker 8 And we're going to make the American Dream a word that, two words that you didn't have. You didn't have those two words.
Remember when Biden said, it's all about three words. The American Dream.

Speaker 8 You don't want to ever get in that situation.

Speaker 8 But that was not good. It's all about three words.
American Dream.

Speaker 7 He then starts telling these McDonald's franchise owners that his term is drill, baby, drill, and he drilled baby drilled. He says, I drilled, baby, drilled.
Okay, here play this clip.

Speaker 8 You know, we had an expression, drill, baby, drill. And I drilled, baby, drilled, I tell you, we drill.

Speaker 7 And he then starts talking about

Speaker 7 men being perfect specimens that he could put them in movies because these men he sees, I think he's saying like in the military, are so handsome.

Speaker 7 These men are so good looking that he loves these specimens. Here play this clip.

Speaker 8 And we met them all handsome. They look like Tom Cruise.

Speaker 8 I don't want to be a wise guy and say, but taller. I'm not going to say that.

Speaker 8 No, they're perfect specimens. I mean, these guys are like from a movie.
I could take everyone, put them in a movie.

Speaker 7 And then he says that

Speaker 7 he's a big hands guy. He's very, very big with hands, even though he's got tiny hands.
Here, play this clip.

Speaker 8 Didn't you hate that? You walk in to wash your hands. I'm a big hands guy.
I like to wash my hands. You know, I used to hate shaking hands.
Now,

Speaker 8 once you run for office, you better like shaking hands or you got a problem. You ever see a politician? No, I don't want to shake hands.
Can you do that?

Speaker 8 I don't think you wouldn't be a politician very long.

Speaker 7 He goes on some bizarre rant, which is totally false about former President Biden not allowing people to use water in their dishwashers.

Speaker 7 What the hell is even going on here, folks? Here, play this clip.

Speaker 8 Donald Swanche says, but no, the water restrictions totally lifted. All All restrictors are gone.
And you know, it's interesting, your dishwashers were covered, right?

Speaker 8 You had no water. I was with some of the people that make them, Whirlpool and others, and they said, sir, they won't give us the water to use in our dishwashers or use in our washing machines.

Speaker 8 The washing machines have no water. I mean, it's like a glass of water, half a glass of water.
We need water.

Speaker 8 And I said, how bad is it? He said, well, like the dishwasher. They put the dishes in and they just keep pressing the button, being, being, being, they end up using more water.

Speaker 8 So I gave them, as you know, unlimited water. Biden came back with a rigged election and he immediately restricted the water again.
But I came back and immediately unrestricted it again.

Speaker 8 So now you have unlimited water to clean your damn dishes, okay?

Speaker 8 And other things. Your hands.
Didn't you hate that?

Speaker 7 He then talked about how

Speaker 7 he wanted to rewrite the speech, but they

Speaker 7 they said, don't rewrite the speech. And he says, I can remember everything.

Speaker 7 Do you even know what he's even talking about here? Your play this clip.

Speaker 8 The core inflation has been the lowest in just about eight years, just changed. It was four years.
Now it's eight years. It just changed about.

Speaker 8 An hour. They just said, sir, if you want, we can rewrite the speech.
I said, no, I can remember it very nicely. Thank you.
I'm not Biden.

Speaker 8 In the past six months, the price of breakfast items has fallen.

Speaker 7 He then claims energy and electricity and the price of chicken, everything's coming down. He said, everything's so much cheaper now.

Speaker 7 It's not. Objectively, everything's more expensive.
Here, play this clip.

Speaker 8 But the price of gasoline and the price of energy is way down. So when energy comes down, you make the donuts, you make the chicken, you make whatever you're making.
Everything is all about energy.

Speaker 8 You have to deliver it. You have the trucks.
You have the fuel. When energy comes down and it's come down fast, we, you know, we had an expression, drill, baby, drill.

Speaker 7 He then claims that he lifted 600,000 Americans off of food stamps, and that's a record. Just lie.
You don't lift 600,000 Americans off of food stamps.

Speaker 7 You may have kicked people off of Medicaid who need their health care.

Speaker 8 You may have kicked people off Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program who depend on it, who may be starving to death, but you didn't uplift anybody that's why we have food banks with record lines right now here play this clip but in nine months we've lifted over 600 000 americans off a food stamp and that's a record and it's strong because we really have a strong economy i mean we're building thousands and thousands of factories all over this country wait till they open up This episode is brought to you by IQBar, our exclusive snack and hydration sponsor.

Speaker 7 So then speaking to McDonald's franchise owners, he says you're going to have to fight for keeping the minimum wage low and that he's very much against raising the minimum wage like California Governor Newsom did in California.

Speaker 7 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 8 I'm in legally. And wages for hourly workers are rising at the fastest pace in 60 years.
And sometimes you might say, well, is that good or bad? It's great for you.

Speaker 8 The minimum wage thing you'll have to be talking about. You're going to have to fight.
We were talking about California, Gavin Newscomb from California,

Speaker 8 and I knew he's laying siege on the minimum wage.

Speaker 8 And you people probably know, because that's a very complex subject, and you people probably know better than anybody the impact one way or the other, good or bad.

Speaker 8 And you're going to let your local congressmen, your senators know about it. But in nine months, we've lifted over.

Speaker 7 Then Donald Trump says that prices are coming down and stuff. And stuff.
Okay, play this clip. Then Donald Trump says the word affordable is our word.
He says we have a couple of items like coffee.

Speaker 7 We're going to get that down. You saw that today.

Speaker 7 What he's referring to is that they signed an executive order today to reverse the tariffs that he had on certain items like coffee and certain types of produce, that the tariffs cause those prices to spike.

Speaker 7 And so now they're trying to take credit for removing the tariffs that they put on. Play this clip.

Speaker 8 Pretty amazing. That begins with making America.
We have to do the word is affordable. And affordable should be our word, not theirs, because the Democrats got up and took affordability.

Speaker 8 And they don't say that they had the worst inflation in history, the highest energy prices in history. Everything was the worst.
What they're great at is lying. They say, affordability.

Speaker 8 This stuff was all much more expensive. We have a couple of items like coffee, which is a little high.
We're going to get that down. You saw that today.
The coffee comes in.

Speaker 8 Remember when I first took over? Eggs.

Speaker 7 At this meeting with McDonald's franchise owners, he starts talking about B-2 bombers and he goes, We totally obliterated Iran. We obliterated their nuclear facilities.
Just let me fact-check him.

Speaker 7 He didn't obliterate the facilities. Iran has the same capabilities right now of developing nuclear weapons as they did before.
And if anything, Iran is in a stronger position right now.

Speaker 7 They even recently started seizing ships in the Strait of Hermuse again. But anyway, Trump lies to the McDonald's franchise owners.
Play this clip.

Speaker 8 You saw that with the way we took out the nuclear capability of Iran with those gorgeous B-2 bombers. They flew in there.
They wiped it. And the word was obliterated.

Speaker 8 Remember when Cien said, well, it might not have been obliteration.

Speaker 8 Think of the pilots. They go in there, they're under fire.

Speaker 8 I was watching this from the situation room, and you get to see things in situations that you wouldn't believe. They said, sir, they have entered Iran airspace.
All of a sudden, you see

Speaker 8 much faster than you see them going down.

Speaker 8 The whole thing was crazy. I actually said, do people really want to do that for a living? They're waiting for them, but the equipment is so good.
The B-2 bomber, stealth, they never saw them.

Speaker 8 They never saw them. I mean, it's the most amazing thing.
And I honored the pilots at the White House.

Speaker 8 I had them brought in, along with mechanics and a lot of other people, we brought them to the White House.

Speaker 7 He then talks about the imaginary number of bringing in $21 trillion.

Speaker 7 He goes, we've got $21 trillion in investments right now. $21 trillion.
It's the made-up number. We don't have any of that coming in.
It's just a complete lie. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 8 It's importantly, however, I will tell you big picture. We have over $17 trillion being invested in our country in nine months.
It's now just about ready to crack 18.

Speaker 8 And by the end of one year, we will have about $20 to $21 trillion invested in our country. That's more by 10 times the highest amount ever invested in any country ever before.

Speaker 8 And it's largely because of tariffs and, I think, November 5th election, but it's the largest amount. As an example, so if we have 20 or 21 in one year, 21 trillion, think of what that is.

Speaker 8 That's car factories, that's ai it's everything they're all coming back because of the tariffs they're all coming back because and then he finishes up by saying the whole world was laughing at us now they think that we're hot now they think that we're smart no they're actually both laughing at us and looking at us in absolute horror right now is what's actually happening play this clip it's incredible what's taking place in our country the world was laughing at us like we were stupid people they're not laughing anymore they don't laugh at us anymore they respect us now again.

Speaker 8 And that's what we want.

Speaker 8 We want to be liked. We want to be respected much more so than being liked.
And, you know, in a certain way, they like us better now, too.

Speaker 8 They respect us, but they like us better now because the world was ripping off our country.

Speaker 7 And then while all of that was going on, Donald Trump's White House account posted a photo of the White House with the McDonald's golden arch on top of it.

Speaker 7 As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, writes, they probably mean it as a joke, but it is definitely possible for the right price. Well, that's for sure.
