Well, in the midst of the good news about hostages being released in Israel and Gaza, Donald Trump's latest trip abroad went exactly how you would expect a complete and total humiliation. He praised dictators. He sweated and babbled through speeches. He managed to insult entire countries and their leaders. And the America first guy is now spending more time drooling over authoritarian leaders and begging for their approval than actually maintaining relationships with our Democratic allies. So we're going to look at Donald Trump's hot mic disaster with the Indonesian president. We'll look at his praise for Egypt's brutal regime. We're going to look at all of it, including his call for Benjamin Netanyahu to be pardoned
Marco Rubio humiliated himself and Marjorie Taylor Greene is suddenly making a little bit of sense. We're going to look at that as well. Interestingly, Vivek Ramaswamy is quickly finding out what happens when the far right purity tests are applied to him. And JD Vance was kicked off of a show by George Stephanopoulos after endlessly refusing to answer simple questions. All of that and more. So great to have you here.
We start today with not much of a shock. Donald Trump praising yet another dictator. He loves dictators. He's impressed at how dictators just do what they want. And, you know, George W. Bush once said this would be a lot easier if I were a dictator. But even George W. Bush did not attempt to become one and he didn't flatter dictators around the world. Bush was terrible. Don't go in there, David. Are you saying Bush was good? But Bush at least respected some basics about what the United States of America is supposed to be. Here is Donald Trump and Sharm El Sheikh Egypt on this completely harebrained, dilapidated and disastrous Middle East tour, saying, look at how great Egypt is doing. They have no crime here.
There's a lot of respect and I think you'll see some tremendous progress both in the Middle This country is doing very well. It has good leadership. It's about leadership. And it's really nice when you say, how is your crime situation? And they're like, don't even know what you're talking about. What do you mean crime? We don't have crime. Because if he has crime, he puts it out very quickly. Some people think that's not nice, but I think it's great.
Some people think that brutal authoritarianism, it's not so nice, but I think it's absolutely great. And Trump continuing to wax poetic about brutal authoritarianism.
We're in a country where a friend of mine is a very powerful leader. And my friend is right here, the president, also the general. I usually call him the general because he's both and he's good at both. And they've done a fantastic job.
By the way, I hate to already interrupt. This is another one of Trump's things. He is such a he's such an authoritarian down to his bones that he loves the whole thing where the political leader also is the general. He likes it in North Korea with Kim Jong Un. He's very impressed with this sort of blending of civil and military leadership that you see in dictatorships. You know, interestingly, Venezuela kind of has the same thing. But Venezuela, Trump doesn't like it's just who he likes at the end of the day.
because they don't play games, that's why. They don't play games like we do in the United States with governors that have no idea what they're doing.
The governors should be more like the brutal dictator that runs Egypt. Now, understand who Donald Trump is talking about here. He's talking about Abdel Fattah Said Hussein Khalil El-Sisi. I just know him as Fatah, but others know him as Abdel Fattah Said Hussein Khalil El-Sisi. This is a brutal dictator. in a country with sham elections. He disappears his opposition. He tortures his opposition for spreading, quote, false news for insulting the state and the regime that Donald Trump is proudly and gleefully praising. for its low crime gained power through a coup and subsequent Rabah massacre of a thousand or more unarmed protesters over a decade ago, the Muqabarat disappears and tortures people
