Full transcript with timestamps

Donald Trump is stewing in his anger, his resentment, his hatred. It is ugly. It is disgusting. What a sick individual he is. After the news broke that the world famous director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle were murdered last night and the main suspect now being their son Nick Reiner, who struggled with drug addiction, a horrific situation. Donald Trump made a post mocking the death of Rob Reiner. Here's what Donald Trump posted this morning. Sick and twisted. What a sick man this is. He goes, "A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood." Trump writes, "Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away together with his wife Michelle, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mindcrippling disease known as Trump derangement syndrome, sometime referred to as TDS. He was known to

drive people crazy by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump administration surpassed all goals expectations of greatness. And with the golden age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Robin Michelle rest in peace. When you thought you hit bottom, there is never bottom with this despicable thing in the Oval Office. This despicable piece of you know what who is there demeaning and degrading our country. Horrific, horrific. Gavin Newsome, Governor of California, goes, "This is a sick man." Franklin Leonard writes, "Every single time I see something this far beyond the pale, my first thought is, yes, he's terrible, but this can't possibly be real." And every time I'm wrong, every damn time, Ahmed Baba writes, "Just when you think Trump can't sink any lower, he sends this disgusting, depraved post about Rob Ryder and his wife Michelle, he couldn't

muster even a moment of decency. He's petty, small, immoral man, unworthy of any position of leadership, let alone the presidency." Nera Tanden writes, "We have never had a person of worse character as president of the United States. It is mortifying how great how this great country chose to do this to itself. Alex writes, you know, things are going well for Trump when he's posting his way through why a beloved dire director who was murdered deserves it. This other account points out there's four days until the release of the Epstein file. Now, one of the MAGA pastors, Dr. Daryl Scott, goes, "Trump is not fake enough to eulogize and speak well of his most virulent haters. He said what he said and it is what it is.

Our editor-in chief Ron Philipowsky responded to that. Pretty disappointing as a pastor that this is your take on it when this gives you an opportunity to be a Christian leader but you chose not to take it because Trump and everybody on the right-wing magosphere acted like Donald Trump didn't just say that and they used it to attack the left. You had Matt Van Swall, a right-wing influencer, goes, "I've not seen a single conservative on this app celebrating Rob's death. If they were, I would call them out. And so would you because the right doesn't believe in celebrating the death of someone just because you disagree with their ideas." Guntherman, this other big right-wing account goes, "Liberals are desperately searching for a prominent conservative, mocking Rob Reiner and his wife passing. Donald Trump doing it right there. Brett Weinstein." Notice that the American right is not celebrating Rob Reiner's

murder. I see post after post honoring his remarkable contribution to our culture. Your leader, your dear leader, cult leader Donald Trump is the one making those posts. And by the way, this is what Rob Reiner said during the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk. Here was what Rob Reiner said back then. Here, play this clip. When you first heard about the murder of Charlie Kirk, what was your immediate gut reaction to it?

Well, horror. A absolute horror. Uh, and I unfortunately saw the video of it and it's uh it's indis what happened to him. And uh that should never happen to anybody. I don't care what your political beliefs are. that's not acceptable. That's not a solution uh to uh to solving problems. And uh I felt like what uh his wife said at the uh the service that the memorial they had was exactly right. And totally I believe, you know, I'm I'm Jewish, but I uh I believe in the teachings of Jesus, and I believe in doing to others, and I believe in forgiveness. And what she said to me was uh uh beautiful and absolutely you know she she forgave um his his assassin and I think that that is uh admirable.

In addition this morning Donald Trump is posting the following a dumpster fire with uh 2020 on the uh dumpster on the on the trash 2020. Donald Trump was in office in 2020. You were the You were the dumpster fire. Then Donald Trump reposts. Takes time to fix four years of destruction. Takes time. Oh, because that's what Donald Trump ran on. It takes time, everybody. No. You said that you would on day one bring down inflation. You've made it worse. You said you would make housing affordable. You've made it worse. You said that you would bring all these jobs here. Job losses totaled over 1.2 2 million job losses in the past year, up 54% over former President Biden. That's not good.

So inflation is surging. Job losses are rising. GDP has shrunk. These are not good data points. Then Donald Trump continues to attack Joe Biden this morning. Joe Biden's presidency was the biggest scam in US history. And then right after that, he posts, "Get your Trump card today," where he's selling citizenship to Russian oligarchs essentially for $5 million. Now, folks, you probably saw our report this morning that the FBI under Donald Trump and Cash Patel botched yet another major investigation, the school shooting at Brown University. They picked up the wrong suspect. They picked up the wrong individual based on the faulty work by the FBI. And the Providence mayor said, "This information was given to us by the FBI." Let's be clear about it. Cash Patel screwed up again while he and his girlfriend were gallivanting around in what? Private jets on the taxpayers's dime, which they were doing before. Ever

have one of those moments where your body reminds you it's not 25 anymore? Maybe it's the slower recovery after a workout or the way your joints creek like an old floorboard. And don't get me started on how much worse it is in the winter. It's like my energy goes into hibernation. Aging is a reality for all of us. But our actions determine how we age. That's why I use Qualiaenolytic to help keep my cells healthy and my body feeling youthful. Zombie cells are real and they're aging you. These scinsesscent cells stop being useful but stick around draining your energy, slowing recovery, and making you feel older than you are. Qualioenolytic helps your body fight back against aging. It's a powerful clinically tested formula with nine vegan plant-derived compounds that support your body's natural ability to eliminate zombie cells so you can feel sharper, stronger, and more energized. Take it just two days a

month. That's all it takes. Take Qualiaenolytic for just two days a month and start aging better at the cellular level. After adding Qualiaolytic to my routine, I noticed the real difference. My energy feels steadier, recovery is quicker, and mentally I'm more dialed in. Experience the science of feeling younger. Go to qualia.com/midus for up to 50% off your purchase and use code midas for an additional 15%. That's qualia.com/midus for up to 50% off your purchase. Your older self will thank you. And thanks to Qualia for sponsoring this episode. And so whenever you have something like the Epstein files getting released, whenever the FBI uh is uh being scrutinized for its gross incompetence and maliciousness, we always get a story like this. So this is the big story that came out this morning. Now, I think this FBI has zero credibility. I'll be clear.

I don't know one way or another about about this situation. Just with this FBI, one of the problem is your first instinct is to go they're probably lying because this FBI does that. That shouldn't be your instinct when it comes to them cuz they've done this before. Remember when they um were when Cash Patel the controversy around him using private jets to take his girlfriend around to his 24year-old to 26-year-old girlfriend around to different like wrestling events and things like that. Then they said, "Oh, we've got this massive terrorist arrest that took place in like Michigan and this place and that place." And then it turned out that like they compromised an investigation that was in early stages and that wasn't what they said it was going to be. So here's what Bondi and Cash Patel were posting about. So they give this to Fox. It's like the same playbook. So then Fox goes, "FBI arrests four alleged members

of a radical pro Palestinian group accused of plotting New Year's Eve bombings." and AG Attorney General Bondi goes, "The Turtle Island Liberation Front, a far-left pro Palestine anti-government and anti- capitalist group, was preparing to conduct a series of bombings against multiple targets in California beginning on New Year's Eve after an intense investigation." She says, "The Turtle Island, the Turtle Island Liberation Front is what they're talking about. Over the weekend, the FBI disrupted credible imminent terrorist threats. Now, look, if there was a real imminent threat, I think that's a good thing that we're stopping imminent terrorist threats. But with this FBI, Yeah. and with the Epstein files about to be released with the fact that they've got the wrong guy in um in Rhode Island, it just goes to say to you, the Turtle Liberation Front, like what in the world are you all talking about?

This this uh post by Andrew Weinstein resonates with me and I want to share it with you. He goes, "One of the president's most sacred duties is to serve as consoler and chief for a grieving nation. In moments of sorrow, our pain is deepened by the absence of a leader with the empathy and compassion required to shoulder the responsibility." Remember what Donald Trump said at that bizarre Christmas event over the weekend where he said regarding the shooting at Brown University? Trump's response was, "Things can happen. Things can happen."

He said, "Here, play this clip." And Brown University, great school. Great. Great. Really one of the greatest schools anywhere in the world. Things can happen. So, uh, to the nine injured, get well fast. And to the families of those two that are no longer with us, I pay my deepest regards and respects from the United States of America. Thank you very much. It's a very And then people from his incompetent regime like this guy uh Gregory Bavino who's out there committing crimes against humanity. He's the one gassing people, chemical warfare on people in the different communities.

He goes in and he acts like Mr. tough guy when he goes to like uh Minnesota or he's in Charlotte or he's and he goes in he like throws gas canisters at people's face. This idiot. Well, he he's asked, "Well, now they're going to New Orleans." And he's asked, "So, your goal is to round up 5,000 people in New Orleans. Like, where are you getting these numbers from? Like, are you just making them up?" And you know, it was it was on Newsmax, so it was a softball interview. They're just making up numbers that they need to arrest 5,000 people. So, you just round up anyone.

Citizens, non-citizens, it doesn't matter. Here, play this clip. I'm I'm glad it's ground zero for you guys right now. Wow. Thank goodness because there's so many different communities. I don't think people realize how many different places in America that so many of these gangs settle in. You know, your goal, um, Greg, is 5,000 arrests in New Orleans. How did you come up with that figure?

Sure. Well, that figure is um something that that that we talked about and it's definitely something that that's attainable. And also, we take a look at the threat. What is the threat in and around the New Orleans area as well as southern Louisiana and those neighboring states? There's a lot of bad people and bad things down here that we plan to take out of commission. Uh

and while all of that's taking place, you've got JD Vance this morning posting the following. The single biggest obstacle to prosecuting violent leftists is judges and prosecutors in deep blue areas who think violence is okay if you're a leftist. This is why we must get rid of the blue slip process. It's an institutional safeguard that has long outlives its purpose. Now JD Vance is one of the phoniest people that exists. He's he's had three different names and three different identities in his life. When he was in high school, he said he was gay. Then he said that he's not gay.

Then he said that he's this hero from Appalachia helping the people there and he was against Trump and hated Trump and Trump's like Hitler. He said now he's for Trump. He's a phony. He is a phony. And it's just, you know, ridiculous posts like this. The judges want to help leftist violence. Shut up. Shut up, you idiot. And just stop dividing the people. Okay? Just stop it. Stop it. America is great when it works together. America is great when we have empathy. When when we actually have true patriotism. When we help each other out and lift each other up, not bully each other. Whatever weird psychological, you know, uh, self issues that you have, JD, that you've now used to go and attack others, just keep it to yourself and let's let people in America have love and empathy and care about each other without your freaking pathology spreading hate amongst people. That bo It bothers me so much. We should be a

nation that loves thy neighbor. We should be a neighbor that uplifts and cares and shows empathy and not this ridiculousness, not this hate. We're so much better than this. Anyway, hit subscribe.
