because we're not getting out of this.
0:03
This thing's not going to go this
0:04
thing's not going our way. And you know
0:07
that you can feel it. It's it's a you
0:10
can feel that it's not going our way.
0:12
You can feel that it's not working. You
0:14
can feel that Trump wants out of it.
0:18
You can feel it. This is not This is not

0:22
what he does. He's not a real fighter.
0:25
He's like a talker. He's a casino
0:28
kingpin. He's a reality star and if you
0:32
like reality stars I'm selling actually
0:34
pretty well there at the Wilturn
0:36
Theater. But that's what he does. This
0:40
is not Patton.
0:42
He's not a general. He's a reality star.
0:45
He's a talker. He's very
0:48
comfortable in that game. Late night

0:51
firing off tweets at Elizabeth Warren.
0:53
That's his game.
0:55
Talking with Ma and Joe. Morning
0:59
Joe. He's comfortable doing that all day
1:02
long. No, a rally. Forget it. Standing
1:06
there for three hours talking
1:08
extemporaneously off the cuff. He's all
1:11
in and that's what he does.
1:15
This is not where he shines and he feels
1:18
uncomfortable. You can tell he's not
1:20
happy about this because this is not
1:22
what he does. This is also further
1:24
reason you can feel that he was really
1:26
pushed into this. he felt like he he had
1:29
to do it for whatever reason. Um but
1:32
there's no way that he wanted to do this
1:35
because this is not where he lives. This
1:38
is not what he's good at. It's not what
1:41
he's good at. Trump's the guy who was
1:42
like walked around a military base was
1:44
like or I I believe Walter Reed or was
1:46
an army hospital and he was basically
1:47
like, "Yeah, why do they do this?" Like
1:49
because he doesn't get it. He's like,
1:51
"Why would you go sacrifice for the
1:53
country?" He's like, "Don't you want to
1:54
be rich and get pussy?" Like he didn't
1:56
get it.
1:57
He doesn't get it. Like that's who he
2:00
is. So he's this is not a place where he
2:05
feels comfortable. This is not what he
2:07
does. So the idea that he wanted to do
2:09
this, I think he was sold on it.
2:13
He was sold on it, but he didn't know
2:15
what it was cuz he'd never done it.
2:18
Everything was like kidnapping Maduro or
2:21
uh you know, we're going to kill
2:22
Solommani, this Iranian general. We're
2:24
in light touch. Boom. I I destroyed
2:26
ISIS. Whatever. Did he? The one of them
2:28
is running Syria. It doesn't matter.
2:30
It's a light touch. No one cares. It's
2:33
akin to reality TV
2:36
because that's what he's the master of.
2:38
He's the master of creating
2:42
um a reality that's true enough. That's
2:46
what reality TV does. If you watch it,
2:49
you know it's not real, but it's real
2:53
enough. Yes, they're actually on
2:55
the Real Housewife show. Are they put in
2:59
these situations and plied with alcohol?
3:01
That is also true. Are these things
3:04
arranged to make them more entertaining?
3:06
Of course, you suspend disbelief. But
3:09
it's true enough.
3:13
The divorces are real. People don't like
3:16
each other. You know, these things are
3:20
true enough. And Trump lived in that
3:21
world for a very long time. So
3:23
basically, he's a master at creating a
3:25
reality that has elements of truth.
3:29
But the things that are glaringly
3:31
untrue, you don't care because it's
3:34
entertaining.
3:35
Because it's entertaining. So it doesn't
3:38
matter the components of the things that
3:41
are provably untrue, like indisputably
3:45
lies. He doesn't care. And neither do
3:48
you cuz you're laughing. You're smiling.
3:51
I can't believe he said that. It's
3:53
entertaining. This is not a good show.
3:58
That's the biggest problem here for DT.
4:02
This is not a good show. And he knows
4:04
it. He knows this is not a good show.
4:07
Trump is well aware of why he is the
4:12
president. He knows this country better
4:14
than most people, maybe anyone.
4:18
And it's not a nice thing. It's the line
4:20
from the end of Succession when Brian
4:22
Cox looks at Jeremy Strong and goes,
4:24
"They're having dinner and he goes, "I
4:26
know things, not nice things, and that's
4:28
why I turn a buck." I know things, not
4:32
nice things, and that's why I turn a
4:35
buck. Trump knows
4:38
that when Zalinsky was in the Oval
4:40
Office and Vance and Trump were berating
4:43
him, that was great TV.
4:46
Trump knows when he said to Hillary,
4:48
"Because you'd be in jail." That's great
4:51
TV.
4:53
This is the opposite of great TV.
4:58
It isn't exciting.
5:01
It's not nearly
5:04
as engaging
5:06
as it needs to be. So, what you have is
5:11
a bunch of people that are checking out,
5:14
which he doesn't like.
5:16
They're tuning out. They're turning it
5:18
off. And so when they turn it off, you
5:22
got to remember they go out into the
5:24
world, the gas prices are high, the food
5:28
prices are high. Why is this
5:30
war,
5:32
but they're not watching his show
5:33
anymore. So he cannot tell them exactly
5:36
why things are the way they are because
5:40
people are turning this off. They
5:43
don't understand why it happened. It's
5:45
embarrassing. Our military bases have
5:48
been blown to smitherines. It's
5:49
embarrassing. The limits of our military
5:52
power have been exposed. It's embarrass
5:54
People don't want to watch that show.
5:56
That's not a feel-good show.
5:59
That's a terribly
6:01
embarrassing and depressing show. So,
6:05
people go, "I'm out." And and Trump
6:08
knows that. So, so he's doing these
6:11
little things to try to get them back
6:12
in. There's aliens now.
6:14
Are you are you back watching? Can you
6:17
come and watch again? There's aliens and
6:20
they're under the water. Or even this,
6:22
we're moving dark eagle hypersonic
6:26
missiles towards our It's the final
6:28
blow. He keeps using words like that,
6:30
the final blow. But there is no final
6:33
blow.
6:36
So eventually people just turn it off.
6:39
It's like a soap opera. You never see
6:42
the last episode of a soap opera. You
6:44
turn it off. You get sick of it. You
6:47
grow up. You get a job. You get a
6:49
boyfriend. Whatever.
6:52
What this has become for Trump
6:55
is is a a a total unending
6:59
nightmare. And he's in this weird
7:02
stalemate where no one's really doing
7:04
anything. And he keeps like threatening.
7:06
Now hopefully he just keeps threatening
7:08
and we never go back in there. Hopefully
7:10
nothing even happens. Hopefully the
7:12
trade opens up, things normalize,
7:15
everybody apologizes, whatever. Seems
7:18
unlikely, but that's kind of what needs
7:21
to happen. And he just keeps tweeting
7:22
final blow. You know, TRUTH SOCIAL LIKE
7:24
FINAL BLOW. IT'S THE FINAL BLOW is
7:26
coming. This is the first time that I
7:31
have watched Trump where it feels
7:35
boring.
7:37
And when I say that, I don't mean to
7:39
take away from the horrific loss of
7:41
life. By the way, I'm not taking away
7:44
from that. None of that's boring.
7:46
Obviously, it's a terrible tragedy.
7:49
Trump himself seems
7:52
to be
7:54
over it. He doesn't want to do this
7:57
anymore. He's he's he's
8:00
stuck in a web.
8:03
If we pull out now,
8:06
it's a an admission to the world that
8:09
America's military might has, I believe,
8:11
is, you know, a lot of people look at
8:13
that and say it's been greatly
8:14
overstated
8:16
and that we're we're not going to make
8:18
commitments to our allies. We're not
8:20
going to make commitments to the the
8:22
things we say are important, right? So,
8:24
he doesn't feel like he can do that.
8:28
But also, this final blow, a world war,
8:33
dropping a nuke,
8:35
all of this
8:37
isn't possible. The generals have told
8:41
him, "We can't do the things you want to
8:43
do." Now, Trump, no one told him this at
8:46
the Apprentice.
8:49
Everyone was pretty much like, "Yeah,
8:50
what do you want to do?" Yeah, we can do
8:52
that. We'll find a way to do that. We'll
8:53
find a version of that that will be
8:56
okay. It'll be true enough. It'll be
8:59
true enough. And that can't happen here.
9:04
So, they have to start with the aliens.
9:07
They have to start with the aliens.
9:10
There's nothing they can really do now.
9:13
He's stuck. And it sucks.
9:16
And And more than that,
9:19
he knows he's losing eyeballs. They're
9:22
leaving him. They're going elsewhere.
9:26
They don't care.
9:28
They've given up.
