WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.400 because we're not getting out of this. 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.359 This thing's not going to go this 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:10.240 thing's not going our way. And you know 00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:12.320 that you can feel it. It's it's a you 00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:14.480 can feel that it's not going our way. 00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:18.560 You can feel that it's not working. You 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:22.000 can feel that Trump wants out of it. 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:25.198 You can feel it. This is not This is not 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:28.640 what he does. He's not a real fighter. 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:32.480 He's like a talker. He's a casino 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:34.960 kingpin. He's a reality star and if you 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.159 like reality stars I'm selling actually 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:40.160 pretty well there at the Wilturn 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:42.398 Theater. But that's what he does. This 00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:45.759 is not Patton. 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:48.000 He's not a general. He's a reality star. 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:51.119 He's a talker. He's very 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:53.359 comfortable in that game. Late night 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:55.839 firing off tweets at Elizabeth Warren. 00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:59.039 That's his game. 00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:02.239 Talking with Ma and Joe. Morning 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:06.719 Joe. He's comfortable doing that all day 00:01:02.238 --> 00:01:08.239 long. No, a rally. Forget it. Standing 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.599 there for three hours talking 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:15.118 extemporaneously off the cuff. He's all 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:18.000 in and that's what he does. 00:01:15.118 --> 00:01:20.478 This is not where he shines and he feels 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.000 uncomfortable. You can tell he's not 00:01:20.478 --> 00:01:24.959 happy about this because this is not 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.478 what he does. This is also further 00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:29.199 reason you can feel that he was really 00:01:26.478 --> 00:01:32.879 pushed into this. he felt like he he had 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:35.600 to do it for whatever reason. Um but 00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:38.319 there's no way that he wanted to do this 00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:41.118 because this is not where he lives. This 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.879 is not what he's good at. It's not what 00:01:41.118 --> 00:01:44.478 he's good at. Trump's the guy who was 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.239 like walked around a military base was 00:01:44.478 --> 00:01:47.679 like or I I believe Walter Reed or was 00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.438 an army hospital and he was basically 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.520 like, "Yeah, why do they do this?" Like 00:01:49.438 --> 00:01:53.199 because he doesn't get it. He's like, 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.239 "Why would you go sacrifice for the 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.320 country?" He's like, "Don't you want to 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.599 be rich and get pussy?" Like he didn't 00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:00.718 get it. 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:05.679 He doesn't get it. Like that's who he 00:02:00.718 --> 00:02:07.599 is. So he's this is not a place where he 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:09.439 feels comfortable. This is not what he 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:13.919 does. So the idea that he wanted to do 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:15.680 this, I think he was sold on it. 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:18.559 He was sold on it, but he didn't know 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.040 what it was cuz he'd never done it. 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.479 Everything was like kidnapping Maduro or 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.400 uh you know, we're going to kill 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:26.878 Solommani, this Iranian general. We're 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.959 in light touch. Boom. I I destroyed 00:02:26.878 --> 00:02:30.878 ISIS. Whatever. Did he? The one of them 00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:33.519 is running Syria. It doesn't matter. 00:02:30.878 --> 00:02:36.959 It's a light touch. No one cares. It's 00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:38.959 akin to reality TV 00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:42.560 because that's what he's the master of. 00:02:38.959 --> 00:02:46.560 He's the master of creating 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:49.680 um a reality that's true enough. That's 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:53.199 what reality TV does. If you watch it, 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:55.920 you know it's not real, but it's real 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:59.199 enough. Yes, they're actually on 00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:01.439 the Real Housewife show. Are they put in 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:04.399 these situations and plied with alcohol? 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.479 That is also true. Are these things 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:09.920 arranged to make them more entertaining? 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:13.119 Of course, you suspend disbelief. But 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:16.799 it's true enough. 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:20.000 The divorces are real. People don't like 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.840 each other. You know, these things are 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.199 true enough. And Trump lived in that 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.920 world for a very long time. So 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:29.518 basically, he's a master at creating a 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:31.839 reality that has elements of truth. 00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:34.000 But the things that are glaringly 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.840 untrue, you don't care because it's 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.400 entertaining. 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:41.759 Because it's entertaining. So it doesn't 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:45.760 matter the components of the things that 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:48.318 are provably untrue, like indisputably 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:51.439 lies. He doesn't care. And neither do 00:03:48.318 --> 00:03:53.518 you cuz you're laughing. You're smiling. 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:58.959 I can't believe he said that. It's 00:03:53.519 --> 00:04:02.799 entertaining. This is not a good show. 00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:04.719 That's the biggest problem here for DT. 00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:07.760 This is not a good show. And he knows 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:12.000 it. He knows this is not a good show. 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:14.399 Trump is well aware of why he is the 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:18.238 president. He knows this country better 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:20.720 than most people, maybe anyone. 00:04:18.238 --> 00:04:22.478 And it's not a nice thing. It's the line 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.400 from the end of Succession when Brian 00:04:22.478 --> 00:04:26.319 Cox looks at Jeremy Strong and goes, 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.879 "They're having dinner and he goes, "I 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:32.639 know things, not nice things, and that's 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:35.120 why I turn a buck." I know things, not 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:38.800 nice things, and that's why I turn a 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:40.560 buck. Trump knows 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:43.520 that when Zalinsky was in the Oval 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:46.800 Office and Vance and Trump were berating 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:48.560 him, that was great TV. 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.600 Trump knows when he said to Hillary, 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:53.360 "Because you'd be in jail." That's great 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:58.479 TV. 00:04:53.360 --> 00:05:01.919 This is the opposite of great TV. 00:04:58.478 --> 00:05:04.800 It isn't exciting. 00:05:01.918 --> 00:05:06.639 It's not nearly 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:11.120 as engaging 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:14.160 as it needs to be. So, what you have is 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:16.079 a bunch of people that are checking out, 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:18.320 which he doesn't like. 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:22.319 They're tuning out. They're turning it 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:24.959 off. And so when they turn it off, you 00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:28.000 got to remember they go out into the 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:30.478 world, the gas prices are high, the food 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:32.079 prices are high. Why is this 00:05:30.478 --> 00:05:33.918 war, 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:36.879 but they're not watching his show 00:05:33.918 --> 00:05:40.319 anymore. So he cannot tell them exactly 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:43.120 why things are the way they are because 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:45.360 people are turning this off. They 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:48.160 don't understand why it happened. It's 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.919 embarrassing. Our military bases have 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:52.560 been blown to smitherines. It's 00:05:49.918 --> 00:05:54.799 embarrassing. The limits of our military 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:56.240 power have been exposed. It's embarrass 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:59.038 People don't want to watch that show. 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:01.120 That's not a feel-good show. 00:05:59.038 --> 00:06:05.360 That's a terribly 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:08.478 embarrassing and depressing show. So, 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:11.120 people go, "I'm out." And and Trump 00:06:08.478 --> 00:06:12.560 knows that. So, so he's doing these 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.959 little things to try to get them back 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:17.918 in. There's aliens now. 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:20.000 Are you are you back watching? Can you 00:06:17.918 --> 00:06:22.959 come and watch again? There's aliens and 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:26.000 they're under the water. Or even this, 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:28.719 we're moving dark eagle hypersonic 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.639 missiles towards our It's the final 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:33.360 blow. He keeps using words like that, 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:36.079 the final blow. But there is no final 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:39.280 blow. 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:42.159 So eventually people just turn it off. 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:44.959 It's like a soap opera. You never see 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:47.199 the last episode of a soap opera. You 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:49.680 turn it off. You get sick of it. You 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:52.478 grow up. You get a job. You get a 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:55.600 boyfriend. Whatever. 00:06:52.478 --> 00:06:59.839 What this has become for Trump 00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:02.319 is is a a a total unending 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:04.399 nightmare. And he's in this weird 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.479 stalemate where no one's really doing 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.239 anything. And he keeps like threatening. 00:07:06.478 --> 00:07:10.560 Now hopefully he just keeps threatening 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:12.960 and we never go back in there. Hopefully 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:15.439 nothing even happens. Hopefully the 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:18.638 trade opens up, things normalize, 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:21.038 everybody apologizes, whatever. Seems 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:22.720 unlikely, but that's kind of what needs 00:07:21.038 --> 00:07:24.719 to happen. And he just keeps tweeting 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.800 final blow. You know, TRUTH SOCIAL LIKE 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:31.280 FINAL BLOW. IT'S THE FINAL BLOW is 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:35.120 coming. This is the first time that I 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:37.119 have watched Trump where it feels 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.199 boring. 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:41.918 And when I say that, I don't mean to 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:44.319 take away from the horrific loss of 00:07:41.918 --> 00:07:46.478 life. By the way, I'm not taking away 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:49.360 from that. None of that's boring. 00:07:46.478 --> 00:07:52.399 Obviously, it's a terrible tragedy. 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:54.879 Trump himself seems 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:57.679 to be 00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:00.879 over it. He doesn't want to do this 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:03.840 anymore. He's he's he's 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:06.560 stuck in a web. 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:09.279 If we pull out now, 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:11.918 it's a an admission to the world that 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.279 America's military might has, I believe, 00:08:11.918 --> 00:08:14.318 is, you know, a lot of people look at 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.079 that and say it's been greatly 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.160 overstated 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.399 and that we're we're not going to make 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.080 commitments to our allies. We're not 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.719 going to make commitments to the the 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:28.478 things we say are important, right? So, 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:33.440 he doesn't feel like he can do that. 00:08:28.478 --> 00:08:35.598 But also, this final blow, a world war, 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.519 dropping a nuke, 00:08:35.599 --> 00:08:41.278 all of this 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:43.918 isn't possible. The generals have told 00:08:41.278 --> 00:08:46.559 him, "We can't do the things you want to 00:08:43.918 --> 00:08:49.039 do." Now, Trump, no one told him this at 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.399 the Apprentice. 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:52.079 Everyone was pretty much like, "Yeah, 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.839 what do you want to do?" Yeah, we can do 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.560 that. We'll find a way to do that. We'll 00:08:53.839 --> 00:08:59.279 find a version of that that will be 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:04.799 okay. It'll be true enough. It'll be 00:08:59.278 --> 00:09:07.360 true enough. And that can't happen here. 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:10.719 So, they have to start with the aliens. 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:13.039 They have to start with the aliens. 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:16.639 There's nothing they can really do now. 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:19.519 He's stuck. And it sucks. 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:22.399 And And more than that, 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:26.080 he knows he's losing eyeballs. They're 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:28.240 leaving him. They're going elsewhere. 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.120 They don't care. 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.120 They've given up.
