Donald Trump is waking up like a little cornered rat after that disastrous speech he gave to a join session of Congress you have China standing up to Donald Trump saying that they are ready for an actual War if that's what Donald Trump wants you have prime minister Justin Trudeau and the premieres of Canada standing together saying that if you're going to continue to bully us with these peace meal tariffs and then pull the tariffs off and then put them back on we're just not going to stand for this yoyo chaos as you destroy our country and attack our people you have the leader of Greenland responding to Donald Trump talking about annexing it and conquering it saying it is not going to happen and then you have economists saying that Donald Trump is leading the nation right now or not leading the nation right now but bringing the nation toward stagflation low GDP and high inflation and you actually have a lot of newspapers throughout the country that are actually publishing things like whether it is the time now for you to buy chickens live chickens for your backyard because there may not be eggs anymore this is what it means to live in America under Donald Trump and to me it kind of brings me right back back to all of the flashbacks of what it was like in March and April of 2020 during Co When Donald Trump was saying like a miracle it's all going to go away let's take a look at what Donald Trump is uh sending to his supporters today this is real at 6:29 a. m. Donald Trump sent the following email Trump was right after addressing the nation last night millions are saying Trump was right about everything thing that's why we made the Trump was right magah hat so you can wear it proudly as we make America great again shop now so as he's harming the economy as he's destroying the lives of his own supporters he wants to make sure that they buy a mega hat that says Trump was right about everything the De Moine register uh they post the following um with tariffs looming Trump AR urges Farmers to have fun selling their products domestically and Donald Trump reiterated that message at the Joint session where he said have fun everybody these tariffs isn't this a great deal of fun just take a look at the various headlines that America woke up to I'm the Wall Street Journal how uncertainty from Trump's tariffs is Rippling through the economy Trump's tariffs cause chaos in the Auto industry tariff War risks sinking the world into a new Great Depression the world economy could face a crash similar to The Great Depression of the 1930s this is the Wall Street Journal headline okay this is rert Murdoch's own paper The Wall Street Journal I'm just being clear what I'm reading right now the two-headed monster stalking the economy has a name stag flation this from the telegraph China says it's ready for war with America Beijing boosts its defense spending by 7.
2 2% and warns Washington that it is prepared to fight until the end the Chinese foreign Ministry spokesperson says intimidation does not scare us anyone using maximum pressure on China is picking the wrong guy if war is what the United States wants be it a tariff War a trade war or any other type of War we're ready to fight until the end and by the way as China is announcing a 7. 2% increase in its defense spending for 2025 the United States of America under a former Fox News host named Pete heith is talking about major cuts to the defense budget in the United States cuts by about 8% each year while China will be increasing theirs basically 8% as well while America is of these wars across uh the world let me be clear I for decreased defense spending let me be clear about my position I'd like to see more spending when it comes to health care when it comes to education when it comes to supporting our veterans I for building infrastructure but if you're going to start picking Wars with people and saying you want to Annex this country and Annex that country while lowering your defense spending do you realize how stupid you look you look like the orange blob occupying the white house now and that's how all of these foreign leaders see it this orange idiotic pathetic weak blob in the White House Greenland's prime minister responds to Donald Trump quote we are not for sale and we can't just be taken our future will be decided by us in Canada prime minister Justin Trudeau is not open to lifting Canada's full package of retaliatory tariffs if US president Donald Trump leaves any tariffs on Canada in place according to a senior Canadian government official um I'm sure that probably sometime after I'm uh recording this Donald Trump will try to announce some fake deal and declare look how great he is but ultimately I want you to know what Canada's uh position uh is and how they've forcefully stood up to Donald Trump prime minister Trudeau uh the premier of Ontario uh Doug Ford they've been doing a great job standing up I think um take a look at what also happened this morning that Trump woke up to the Supreme Court uh declined the Trump administration's request to pose to pause the lower court order that required it to pay out roughly $2 billion in foreign aid funds to us Aid you had the right-wing justices Justice John Roberts and justice Amy Cony Barrett Trump appointed Cony Barrett um they joined Soto mayor uh Kagan and Jackson to form the five to four so you had the right-wing justices Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett they joined the liberal justices I consider the pro-democracy justices Kagan Soto mayor and Jackson you can even see last night though the disgust that Amy Coney Barrett had on her face when she saw Donald Trump I'll I'll throw up some of that b-roll last night from the uh joint session so what this means is that the Trump Administration was ordered to pay the contractors who did the work you know how Donald Trump hates to pay contractors right it's always that's always what he did his whole life is not pay contractors so to pay the contractors who did the work so that the aid can go to where it's supposed to as part of the money that was already appropriated by us Aid so a massive Supreme Court loss for Donald Trump unfortunately I don't know how many lives were lost by the delay in getting the that Aid to people but at least that Aid's going to go to People by the way the four justices the right-wing justices who were in The Descent issued a scathing dissent saying that Trump should basically be a dictator and do whatever the hell he wants to do look these these Washington Post columnists you know they're I I I got to give them a hat tip I think some of this stuff's pretty good right here take a look at some of these articles today as uh Peter Sagal writes somewhere Jeff Bezos is angrily clicking the track shipment to see what happened to his new editorial page that's why I got to separate the Bezos and the billionaires I think from some of these writers who are um having their own resistance I think within the Washington Post just take a look at some of these headlines what the numbers say about the erosion of American Freedom by Philip bump George Will this is American greatness only if you have a MAG a magnifying glass Mark fiser Virginia spurn Trump three times why do his why do its politicians idolize him a classic Trump speech rich in so Showmanship and at odds with reality the crypto Reserve isn't even good for crypto how to lose a century in 43 days the White House's risky cyber offense standown I don't like that head line that much sorry David I I'm not sure if you did the headline but it's not they're not enforcing cyber security against Russia anymore I think we know the outcome there when you're saying that Russia is not involved in hacking us stuff and you'll allow Russia to infiltrate us systems in just five days Trump has set the country back nearly 100 years was the headline by uh Dana Milbank it's a good article um Jason Leupold explains new how Elon musk muscled his way into the FAA FAA employees are on edge they were told that anyone who impeded progress of the new FAA SpaceX partnership would be reported to musk and risked losing their jobs also one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against Doge alerted the court as Kyle Cheney points out of Donald Trump's remarks at the State of the Union calling Elon Musk the head of the office as uh we predicted because the Trump Administration was trying to claim that Doge isn't its own Department it was just a Rebrand of the digital services that already existed and that in any event Elon Musk is not its head why were they saying that well the White House was saying that because they don't want Elon Musk to have to testify about what he's doing and they don't want to have him respond to foyer requests Freedom of Information Act requests to turn over his emails and his Communications so the White House wants to hide Elon Musk and say that he's Trump's special advisor so they can claim which they already have immunities presidential records act immunities executive privilege to avoid Elon having to actually be transparent to Congress or to the public but Donald Trump said at the Joint session that Elon is the head of a new Department called Doge so the plaintiffs are now bringing that to the attention of the courts and we'll see what the courts ultimately do there as I'm sure you saw last night a democrat congress member by the name of Al Green got thrown out of the state of the union and a former Republican house candidate named lever Spicer says that she is giving her followers the nword pass she goes y'all can call them whatever dirty name you want y'all got the n-word pass tonight is what she's saying I mean that is a a horrible thing horrible thing to say and that is I mean I don't know how you get more horrible than that um and she was a republican house candidate a major Maga influencer you saw that the SNP um uh was wiped out yesterday and then finally I'll play this clip for you as well um so the Maga Republicans in the House of Representatives they're about to do another continuing resolution to fund the government meaning they're using Nancy Pelosi's budget which they rail against and they keep continuing her budget because at least when the Democrats controlled Congress the Democrats were they were able to pass a budget Republicans can't pass a budget they can't get their appropriation bills through so what they're doing is they just keep doing these what are called continuing resolutions to kind of Kick the Can down the road but as our editor-in-chief Ron Philip Kowski points out here's magam Mike Johnson in November 2023 saying that he's done with CRS and they're not going to do anymore but all he's done was CRS over and over again continuing resolutions play this glue committed to never being in this situation again I'm done with short-term CRS we are we're resolved so what that means is you're going to see in the beginning of this next year we'll be walking and chewing gum at the same time we're going to get the Appropriations process running on time as it's supposed to be under law the budget Control Act of 1974 has very specific Provisions in there on how this is to be done Congress hasn't done that for as long as we can remember but we're going to get back to that because that's good stewardship the American people deserve it and the debt situation we find ourselves in necessitates that so you know the ultimate irony there too is they're saying that there's all this fraud there's all of these problems there's a but you're doing a continuing resolution why don't you do your job in Congress then if you think there are all of these issues right like let's if you think that elon's found these things and all of these things exist I have two questions one if there's all of this fraud where are the people being arrested for the fraud because Fraud's a crime that's not happening because there's not really this fraud that Elon saying saying he's lying about most of it then secondly then why don't you all come together as a congress you have control of the house and the Senate and the executive branch and then just come up with your priorities just do it just do it yourself it should be easy then if if all of these things exist but they don't instead they use Pelosi's budget and her Appropriations from 2022 because it was the was the last one that was passed and the Republicans know that all the stuff they're spewing is crap why else would they not pass their own then that's what I ask you I mean it's simple logic right anyway hit subscribe let's get to 5 million subscribers and
