What are the key highlights of this episode with Desi Lydic?
We've got so much to talk about tonight. The military tries to teach another jet to swim. The Vatican turns into the world's holiest man cave. And Trump is keeping a huge secret. So everybody check your signal chats. Let's get right into it. It's been a rough few weeks for Donald Trump, mostly because Donald Trump. So he's been looking for a way to change the narrative. And yesterday he made a big announcement.
We're going to have a very, very big announcement to make, like as big as it gets. And I won't tell you on what.
What was Trump's mysterious 'big announcement'?
So his announcement is that he's got an announcement? Cool. It's great to have a president who does teaser trailers for world events. It's like when FDR said, we only have one thing to fear, and I'll tell you what it is after the break. But OK, Donald, can you at least give us a hint?
It'll be one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject.
A certain subject, that narrows it down to literally anything. This is Donald Trump, so his big announcement could be anything from I've achieved peace in the Middle East to I just tried bucatini and I'm never going back to regular spaghetti. At least tell us if it's good or bad. Should I be stocking up on champagne or toilet paper?
It's very positive. I'd also, I'd tell you if it was negative or positive. I can't keep that up. It is really, really positive.
OK, that sounds really positive. But I want to temper my expectations here, because the last time you had a positive announcement to make, it was that you were destroying the economy. So I just want to make sure. Is it really good news?
It's going to be a truly earth-shattering and positive development for this country and for the people of this country.
Earth shattering, wow. Okay, as long as I don't have to clean it up, I guess I'm in. Just tell me when exactly to tune in and I will clear my schedule.
And that announcement will be made either Thursday or Friday or Monday before we leave.
All right. You have no idea what you're announcing, do you? You're just going to go into the next room and be like, guys, I promised them something big. Does anyone have anything good? I have two to five days. And don't say jello shots, Pete. Next time, just come out when you're ready to say the announcement. We don't need a pre-announcement. This is worse than my cousin announcing that they're trying for a third child. Great. So you're telling me that you're f***ing Call me when there's a Gymboree registry. And by the way, it's totally possible that we never get an announcement. Remember him teasing his big replacement for Obamacare?
Wait till you see the plans we have coming out literally over the next four weeks. We have great health care plans coming out. The plan is coming out over the next four weeks. We'll be announcing that in about two months.
And that two months was up 69 months ago. Very nice. But while we're waiting for Trump's earth-shattering, mind-blowing, orgasm-inducing announcement, there's already a much stupider announcement in the works.
Why did Trump rename the Persian Gulf?
We know we have the Gulf of America, formerly the Gulf of Mexico. And next week, President Trump plans to announce the U.S. will refer to the Persian Gulf as the Gulf of Arabia or the Arabian Gulf.
What is it with this guy and renaming gulfs? At least the Gulf of Mexico was on our border, but now he's just going around renaming other countries' water? The Gulf of Thailand is now the Gulf of White Lotus. The Indian Ocean is now the Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas Ocean. And the Black Sea, we're just getting rid of. No more DEI. You know what? Why shouldn't we be allowed to rename the world's oceans? After all, we have the world's most competent, powerful, competent navy full of competence operating right now at the top of their competence.
