James McComb:本期节目讨论了唐纳德·特朗普的政府任命和行为,认为这些举动无论是有意为之还是鲁莽之举,都让美国在国际社会上成为笑柄,并正中俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京的下怀。他详细分析了特朗普的几项重要任命,例如任命缺乏经验的彼得·赫格塞思为国防部长,克里斯蒂·诺姆为国土安全部长,以及创建虚构的Doge部门并任命埃隆·马斯克和维韦克·拉马斯瓦米为领导。他还提到普京利用俄罗斯媒体发布特朗普妻子梅拉尼娅的裸照,并暗示特朗普需要偿还普京提供的帮助。此外,普京否认了与特朗普的通话,并升级了对乌克兰的战争,进一步羞辱特朗普。最后,他还讨论了特朗普任命马可·卢比奥为国务卿,以及迈克·赫卡比为以色列大使的决定,认为这些任命进一步加剧了国际紧张局势。 其他发言人:其他发言人,包括彼得·赫格塞思、克里斯蒂·诺姆、埃隆·马斯克、维韦克·拉马斯瓦米、弗拉基米尔·普京、马可·卢比奥、迈克·赫卡比、苏珊·赖斯、马克·鲁特和马尔科姆·特恩布尔,他们的观点或言论被用来支持或反驳James McComb的论点。例如,赫格塞思关于不洗手和对朝鲜采取先发制人打击的言论,以及赫卡比关于以色列和巴勒斯坦问题的极端观点,都进一步佐证了McComb的观点。

I'm James McComb, reporting live from home in my bathrobe and slippers. Tonight, we're talking Dunkin' Polar Peppermint Coffee. Gene's here with the latest. Uh, Gene, do you copy?

The home with Duncan is where you want to be. You know how Donald Trump would always say the world is laughing at us. Putin, President Xi are laughing at us when they actually were not. They were fearful of the fact that President Biden had united NATO and the free world. Well, now the world is actually laughing at the United States and Donald Trump has fallen right into Putin's trap, whether willingly or just recklessly. Donald Trump's done the following.

Let's just go over it. He's appointed Peter Hegseth, a Fox weekend news host who says he doesn't like washing his hands. He said he hasn't washed his hands for the past 10 years to be the secretary of defense, someone who

hasn't had the experience running a lemonade stand. Granted, he was in the military, but he will now be the Secretary of Defense. Donald Trump has named his Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota who killed her dog Cricket and who lied about going to North Korea. Donald Trump has created a fake

cabinet-level department on his own without any process or procedure called the Doge Department and has anointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to run the Doge Department. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin

is utilizing Russian TV to continue to show nudes of Donald Trump's wife, Melania, to show Donald Trump who is dominant in that relationship. Another top presidential advisor to Vladimir Putin's come out with a statement saying that it's time for Donald Trump to repay them for the help that they've provided him.

You've got Vladimir Putin also not acknowledging that a phone call took place between him and Donald Trump when Donald Trump leaked to the Washington Post that they spoke and Donald Trump said, I told him to deescalate. Well, Vladimir Putin says that that is pure fiction. Again, just humiliating Donald Trump in international diplomatic parlance. And then

Also, Vladimir Putin escalating the war in Ukraine to show Donald Trump who is dominating who. Oh, and then by the way, Donald Trump appointed as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, someone who Donald Trump said is totally incompetent and a lightweight. You see this photo right here from Idiocracy with Hulk Hogan right there?

um yeah we're currently right now america this is idiocracy on steroids right here let's just go through all the data let me bring you all of the receipts and show you what is going on because again you're not going to see this in the corporate media i did see axios saying oh well we're here reporting that elon musk showed up with his dark maga gothic shirt at mar-a-lago look we're sick and tired of propaganda media here we need to show people what is happening anyway

Take a look at Trump's Secretary of Defense right there, Pete Hegseth, the weekend host. Here he is trying to throw an axe at the target and he can't make it. But good thing that he now has access to our nuclear codes. Great work. I mean, again, literally Putin and the international community is mocking us and laughing at us. Here, watch this. With the axe.

Who's gonna win this battle of the lumberjacks? That's gonna put my money on Clayton. Who's gonna win this battle of the lumberjacks? That's gonna put my money on Clayton.

So

So then I talked about this before, but Donald Trump claimed he talked to Putin, told Russian to deescalate. What did Putin do? Amassed an additional 50,000 soldiers, including North Korean troops at the border and then dismissed Donald Trump's claim that they spoke as pure fiction. Take a look right here. Here's Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota, now appointed as Homeland Security Director. So you've got Pete Hegseth.

You've got Kristi Noem, a dog killer now running Homeland Security. Can you get any more embarrassing than that? There, by the way, is Cricket, the dog that she killed. And then he appointed...

Marco Rubio to become Secretary of State. Here's what Donald Trump said about his own Secretary of State. Marco Rubio is a total lightweight who I wouldn't hire to run one of my smaller companies. A highly overrated politician. Rubio couldn't even respond properly to Obama's State of the Union speech without pouring sweat and chugging water. He choked.

As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, says, so let's make him Secretary of State. Donald Trump's previously said in February 26, 2016, lightweight Marco Rubio was working hard last night. The problem is he is a choker. And once a choker, always a choker. Mr. Meltdown. Oh, in addition to Peter Hesgith,

throwing the axe and not being able to hit the target. Here he is talking about how he doesn't like to wash his hands and that he hasn't washed his hands in 10 years. Play this clip. I don't think I've washed my hands for 10 years. Really, I don't really wash my hands ever. I inoculate myself.

It's just not germs. They're not a real thing. I can't see them. Therefore, they're not real. So you're becoming immune to all of the bacteria. Exactly. I can't get sick. So did you know that over 2 billion plastic razors end up in U.S. landfills each year? It's a staggering number, I know, and it's just one of the many reasons why we need to rethink our shaving habits.

Henson Shaving is leading the charge in this revolution. Let's join it together. Their razors are made of aluminum with no plastic in sight, not even in the packaging. And get this, they work with standard dual edge blades that cost less than 10 cents each. Once you have...

a Henson razor. You're looking at just three to five dollars per year for blade replacements. It's a win for your wallet and a win for the environment. It's time to say no to subscriptions and yes to a razor that will last you a lifetime. So visit hensonshaving.com/meidas and pick the razor for you and use the code meidas, M-E-I-D-A-S and you'll get two years worth of blades

free with your razor. Just make sure to add them to your cart. That's 100 free blades when you head to h-e-n-s-o-n-s-h-a-v-i-n-g.com slash Midas and use that code Midas. And by the way, here is just Hesgith again on Fox talking about, is college worth it? Here, play this clip.

And here he is talking about preemptively striking North Korea.

You know what's interesting is if you read the pages of the New York Times, the former National Security Advisor to the United States of America, Susan Rice, essentially said, okay, North Korea with nukes, we should tolerate that. It won't be so bad. Take a look at that. She actually didn't say this. She actually took the time to write this, send it to somebody, and they printed it in a newspaper. This is what it said in the op-ed. It says, but war is not necessary to achieve prevention, despite what some in the Trump administration say.

seem to have concluded. History shows that we can, if we must, tolerate nuclear weapons in North Korea the same way we tolerated the far greater threat of thousands of Soviet nuclear weapons during the Cold War. So we should start tolerating it. She did in the op-ed go on to say that the U.S. should make it clear if North Korea uses nukes on us or on our allies or gives nukes to a third party, we will annihilate North Korea. The problem with that is it's

It's reactive. It's not proactive. And what will annihilate North Korea after we're dead? Yeah. We have to do something now. There's merit in a preemptive strike. You got to do it right. It's got to be decisive. How comprehensive is that first strike capability? But history shows us that when you let dictators get the worst weapons in the world, they wield a ton of influence. And what about the history in North Korea? It's shown us that they're

ever going to stop. We passed that accord in 1994 and they've only gotten more advanced ever since. Okay. Now Elon Musk is posting department of government efficiency, Doji, the merch will be fire. Here's a statement that Donald Trump put out.

I am pleased to announce that the great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE,

Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies essential to save America movement. This will send shockwaves through the system.

and anyone involved in government waste, which is a lot of people, stated Mr. Musk. It will become potentially the Manhattan Project of our time. Republicans have dreamed about the objectives of Doge for a very long time.

I'm trying to understand this. You're just creating fake government departments now? Like, that's what it means to be a conservative, making up fake departments? Oh, by the way, if you want to know more about Donald Trump falling right into Putin's trap. So Donald Trump has named as the ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, who identifies as a Christian Zionist.

who believes that you shouldn't even refer to the West Bank as the West Bank and that the West Bank should not have any Palestinians on it whatsoever. And essentially that Israel needs to annex it and annex any territory surrounding it. So for any of the people who are saying Donald Trump's going to call for a ceasefire, I mean, I don't know why you would think that. Quite the contrary. Here is the new ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee. Here, play this clip.

My feeling personally, and I'm speaking only as a person, I think Israel would only be acting on the property it already owns. I think Israel has title deed to Judea and Samaria. There are certain words I refuse to use. There is no such thing as a West Bank. It's Judea and Samaria. There's no such thing as a settlement. They're communities, they're neighborhoods, they're cities.

There's no such thing as an occupation. That they get out of their minds that people are living in lean-tos and tents, sleeping in cars, circled around a tree. They're living in very well-designed and beautiful cities and communities. Can't wait to get back. I'm going to take an extra hat. I'm going to get it to President-elect Trump. Build Israel Great Again.

Who knows? We may see him wear this out there in one of his rallies somewhere. I don't know. Can't promise that. I can only promise he will get a copy of the hat. Thank you very much. And all the while, Vladimir Putin is just laughing and mocking America. Quite literally, as I said before, having Russia's state TV continue to show nude photos of Melania and then purposefully laugh at Donald Trump to mock him night after night.

You now have NATO stepping up, though, fortunately. Here's NATO's chief, Mark Rutt. Here's what he has to say about supporting Ukraine, because it's obvious that America is going to be in its own whatever the heck this idiocracy is right now. Play this clip. We must recommit to stay in the course for the long haul. And we must do more than just keep Ukraine in the fight. We need to raise the cost for Putin and his enabling authoritarian friends.

by providing Ukraine with the support it needs to change the trajectory of the conflict. Here's a statement that was previously made by the former conservative Prime Minister Turnbull of Australia. Here's what he had to say about Donald Trump. Here, play this clip. Republican Party under Donald Trump, and particularly the right wing of the Republican Party, are very sympathetic to Vladimir Putin. I mean, I've been with Trump and Putin.

Trump is in awe of Putin. When you see Trump with Putin, as I have on a few occasions, he's like the 12-year-old boy that goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. My hero. It is really creepy. It's really creepy.

So there you have it, folks. Donald Trump literally staffing the government with the most unqualified idiocracy-like people, which would be comical if this was a movie, but this is real life, folks. Secretary of Defense, a Fox News host because he served in the military. You make him Secretary of Defense? Guy who doesn't even wash his hands? Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Director?

Marco Rubio as Secretary of State? Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. What can I say? This is exactly what Putin dreamed of. And perhaps this is what Putin's presidential aide said when he just issued the communique the other day and said, Donald Trump owes us. Donald Trump has to repay us. Is this Donald Trump repaying him? It sure seems like it. I don't know what the heck this is. I don't know what the heck this is anyway.
