Speaker 11 It happened again. Donald Trump was in the Oval Office and he crashed out on live TV, just fell asleep over

Speaker 11 and over again.

Speaker 11 Let me show you what happened here. Play this clip.
My question's on farming, but I do have to.

Speaker 13 In the interest of affordability with this aid package, I assume that that's something you want consumers to see before midterms next.

Speaker 11 We've been saying something is seriously wrong with this guy, and they can can try to say, oh, it's so normal. He just shakes a lot of hands.
That's why it's discolored.

Speaker 11 And ah, he didn't get an MRI of the brain. It was an abdominal.
No one's buying it. No one's buying it.
Here he is again, falling asleep during this press conference. Play this clip.

Speaker 11 Initiatives to study the data that we're collecting.

Speaker 14 Howard Kester, God bless you for being a pain in our sides.

Speaker 14 Mr. President, he's promised to stop calling you.

Speaker 11 We'll see more. I think RFK Jr.
is speaking right now.

Speaker 11 By the way, on the same day where Donald Trump illegally said he's renaming the name of the Kennedy Center to the Trump Kennedy Center, which is just horrific. Trump falls asleep the whole time.

Speaker 11 He's like falling asleep, falling asleep, falling asleep here. Play this clip.

Speaker 15 And if you don't have standeys dosing, any studies like you do is comparing apples to pears.

Speaker 15 And we don't know the difference between.

Speaker 11 Then he has these people in white coats behind him. Who even knows what's even, what the purpose.

Speaker 11 They're announcing something that is he's not going to do like everything's he does is a fraud at this point but he says that the doctors behind him that they don't really know about trend dearagua and how bad they are and he goes

Speaker 11 they don't know okay i mean after the speech last night after what we've seen this morning

Speaker 11 folks this guy's cooked The hell are we even watching here at Play This Clip?

Speaker 12 Emptied their prisons into our country. We had Trendi Aragua,

Speaker 12 which supposedly the doctors don't know this.

Speaker 12 DC is the ultimate example. People walk to work and they thank me all the time.
People in the White House, they just walk to the White House from 10 blocks away before.

Speaker 11 You know, but it's deeply serious that someone so cognitively addled, someone who's falling asleep, someone who's so compromised ethically, morally,

Speaker 11 compromising himself, the whole thing. I mean, he's out there in this press conference.
saying that, oh, Ukraine better agree to the deal.

Speaker 11 Russia's there. Russia's already in agreement with a peace plan.
Why isn't Ukraine?

Speaker 11 What are you talking about? Ukraine has agreed to a ceasefire over and over again. Russia is demanding that Ukraine surrender all of its eastern territory.
They want all of Donbas.

Speaker 11 They want all of that. And all you're doing is just being an agent of Putin at this point, in my opinion, based on your behavior and conduct.
But this is what Donald Trump says here. Play this clip.

Speaker 17 Mr. President, Mr.
President,

Speaker 17 Mr. President, there's a meeting this weekend on on Ukraine in Florida.
What are you hoping will come out of that meeting?

Speaker 12 Well, they're getting close to something, but I hope Ukraine moves quickly. I hope Ukraine moves quickly because Russia's there.

Speaker 12 And, you know, every time they take too much stand, then Russia changes their mind.

Speaker 11 Then as

Speaker 11 tens of millions of Americans are going to be losing their health care.

Speaker 11 If you're on an Affordable Care Act exchange, the subsidies are expiring, despite the fact that a discharge petition was signed by four Republicans who joined with Democrats, MAGA Mike and Donald Trump, shut down the House of Representatives.

Speaker 11 Go back home, everybody. We're taking a vacation so that Donald Trump can give you one of his two-bit con artists, scam artists, snake oil salesman routines.

Speaker 11 He goes, I'm giving the people their money back today.

Speaker 11 They can have their money right now. I'm giving it to them.
Here, play this clip.

Speaker 12 Bad thing. We can have a great thing.
Let the money go directly to the people and let them buy their own health care.

Speaker 11 But this is an urgent problem mr president is there anything you can do now mr president can i answer mr president is going to be this is going to be right now as far as i'm concerned go ahead we just do you mean you're giving them the money no you don't know the way insurance works like the very concept of what insurance is and risk pools and why there is an affordable care act what single payer means what medicaid is what medicare you know trump doesn't know what any of these things even mean you can't just give somebody a check which by the way you're not going to do and say take $2,000.

Speaker 11 That's your insurance. What happens when they need a surgery, a procedure, chemo, or whatever?

Speaker 11 You don't know the way insurance works. So a reporter asked Donald Trump, more than 20 million Americans are bracing, bracing for their premiums to skyrocket.
And Trump's like, ah,

Speaker 11 because of Obama. It's because of Obama.
Obama, you're in charge. You're supposed to be responsible.
Obama?

Speaker 11 Obama, you're going to keep whining Obama until Obama, Biden, Hillary.

Speaker 11 That's just such,

Speaker 11 I don't care what political party you're from, whatever the hell this is, just is not how adults behave. Certainly not how leaders behave.

Speaker 11 And if you find this acceptable for the President of the United States, look yourself in the mirror because you're not okay. Play this clip.

Speaker 17 Mr. President, a health-related question on your health care plan.

Speaker 17 You've said you want to make direct payments to Americans, but these Obamacare subsidies are expiring now in a matter of just a few days.

Speaker 17 More than 20 million Americans are now bracing for their premiums to skyrocket. Are you going to let this happen or will you intervene?

Speaker 12 They will skyrocket because it was never any good. I'd like to see the money that is going to the insurance companies by the hundreds of billions of dollars.

Speaker 12 You know, their stocks are up 1,400%, 1,800%, and 1,624%.

Speaker 12 Their stocks are up through the roof over a fairly short period of time because they're getting vast amounts of money.

Speaker 12 I want that money to go to the people directly and let the people buy their own health care. And they'll get much better health care than they get with the Unaffordable Care Act,

Speaker 12 as it's known by a lot of people. It is virtually unaffordable for people.
It's a bad thing. We can have a great thing.
Let the money go directly to the people and let them buy their own health care.

Speaker 11 Oh, can I come with some receipts, please, as well? Let me just let me just show you what Putin's been saying, okay? While Trump's doing this press conference, you know what Putin is saying?

Speaker 11 Who Donald Trump goes, Putin's there. Putin is saying, and I translated this so you can hear it in English.
He's like, those European country swine, they're trying to help Ukraine.

Speaker 11 Yeah, I don't think this guy is looking to do a peace deal. Yeah, I just don't because he and Lavrov and Dmitriev and Yushikov and all they've said as such that they don't want a peace deal.

Speaker 11 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 16 Those European little swine, you see.

Speaker 16 They immediately became involved in these efforts by the former American administration, hoping to profit from the

Speaker 16 collapse of our country.

Speaker 11 And here Putin is again, and you can hear him talk about the special operation is in effect and we will achieve all of our goals. When they refer to special operation, that's the invasion.

Speaker 11 That's the genocide in Ukraine. It's taking it all over.
So, this is not a guy who's trying to make a deal, but you see, deranged Putin, deranged Trump. They're like very similar people here.

Speaker 11 Play this clip.

Speaker 16 What I want to particularly note here: what tasks to set in the sphere of military construction, including taking into account the dynamics of the situation on the line of combat contact.

Speaker 16 First of all, the objectives of the special military operation will, without any doubt, be fully achieved.

Speaker 16 We would have much preferred to accomplish this and eliminate the fundamental root causes of the conflict through diplomatic negotiations.

Speaker 16 However,

Speaker 16 should the opposing parties, along with their foreign patrons, refuse to engage in any substantive dialogue, Russia will then proceed to achieve the liberation of its historical territories through military means.

Speaker 16 The critical task of establishing and expanding a secure buffer zone will also be systematically addressed and resolved.

Speaker 11 you brought the heritage of dc back? What the hell are you talking about? Blade this clip.

Speaker 12 We were losing all the restaurants. We were losing our life in this.
We were just,

Speaker 12 the whole heritage of Washington, D.C. was

Speaker 12 down the drain, and we brought it back. And now everybody's thrilled to be here.
It's the hottest, it's a part of the hottest country anywhere in the world. We become...

Speaker 12 In 10 months, the hottest country anywhere in the world. And we were, and I say it all the time, we're a dead country one and a half years ago.

Speaker 11 Do you expect to be fabulous for debt and coffee while you're down and then he mentions the what he refers to as a warrior's dividend, where he goes, and look what I've done.

Speaker 11 I've given every soldier $1,776

Speaker 12 in a check.

Speaker 11 I'm putting my name on it. I gave it to the soldiers.
No, you took, you stole,

Speaker 11 you took money away from a congressionally allocated reconciliation fund to subsidize the housing of those soldiers.

Speaker 11 You took a housing allowance that is for the basic allowance of housing of soldiers, and you took it and you wrote them a check with that money when that money should be going to their housing.

Speaker 11 Here's what Donald Trump said. That's why I want to fact-check all this stuff.
He's lying. The tariffs didn't bring this money in.
He's a fraud. He's a con artist, this guy.
Enough.

Speaker 11 Here, play this clip. Mr.

Speaker 19 President, you announced the Warriors dividend last night in your primetime speech. Very patriotic, very generous.
What was the rationale and the thought process? How'd you come up with the idea?

Speaker 19 What made you want to give back to the warrior?

Speaker 12 Well, 1776 was easy to come up with because we're actually at 1775.

Speaker 12 You know, the number was 1775. And I said, wow, I think we can afford one more dollar.

Speaker 12 But we actually, they came up to me, it was

Speaker 12 $1,775. So I said, well, let's add a dollar to it.
I think we could find that.

Speaker 16 And

Speaker 12 very simple.

Speaker 11 We've had

Speaker 12 a military that, in my opinion, by other presidents, was not treated well. They're incredible.
They're our finest people. They're protecting us.

Speaker 12 And because of tariffs, we're taking in billions and billions of dollars more than we ever have before. With no inflation, by the way, with no inflation.
You saw the inflation numbers.

Speaker 12 They just came out today. What? Great timing.
Practically no inflation. And yet we're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars.

Speaker 12 And this is small potatoes by comparison, but it's a way of taking care of our warriors, our soldiers. And

Speaker 12 I appreciate that question, Daniel.

Speaker 11 And finally, Donald Trump brags that the Kennedy Center will now be named the Trump Kennedy Center. Just even the way these questions are being phrased are so utterly pathetic, too, right?

Speaker 11 The question like, a board, a board has awarded you this. And Donald Trump's like, it's an esteemed board of who's who's on the board?

Speaker 11 Laura Ingraham, Pam Bondi, Maria Bardaroma, Brian Ballard, who's like a Trump lobbyist, Dan Scavino, Usha Vance, Susie Wiles,

Speaker 11 Lee Greenwood,

Speaker 11 Sergio Gore.

Speaker 11 That's your board made up of Trump loyalists? Seriously? Anyway, played you that clip. And Daniel.

Speaker 12 Yeah, and Caroline. It was an easy one.

Speaker 19 She just posted on exercise secretary that the board members of the Kennedy Center voted unanimously to rename it the Trump Kennedy Center. What was your reaction to that?

Speaker 12 Well, I was honored by it. The board is a very distinguished board, most distinguished people in the country.
And I was surprised by it. I was honored by it.
You know, we've...

Speaker 12 We're saving the building. We saved the building.
The building was in such bad shape, both physically, financially, and every other way. And now it's very solid, very strong.

Speaker 12 We have something going on television, I guess, on the 23rd, December. I think it's going to get very big ratings.
And the Kennedy Center is really

Speaker 12 back strongly. It's a very bad shape, very, very bad shape physically.

Speaker 12 And we're also to get Congress to put up a lot of money and other people to put up a lot of money. We had a lot of donors come in for record-setting numbers, so we...
We saved the Kennedy Center.

Speaker 12 And I was really, this was brought up by one of the very distinguished board members, and they voted on it. And there's a lot of board members, and they voted unanimously.

Speaker 12 So, I was very honored by it. Thank you.
