What did Trump claim about federalizing DC police and how did Mayor Bowser respond?
Donald Trump held a disastrous press conference earlier in the day. He lies about the DC crime rate, which is actually significantly on the decline in order to take over the Metropolitan Police Department. Trump and his Department of Defense say they're sending in National Guard and potentially other military into Washington, D.C. Also during this disastrous press conference, Donald Trump continued to say that he would be meeting. with Vladimir Putin in Russia, and he kept on calling Alaska Russia. Very concerning. He also attacked Zelensky and praised Putin repeatedly and just started cursing when talking about California Governor Gavin Newsom, who's standing up to him. We'll talk about that. Donald Trump has continued to post videos of people wrestling with sharks, just randomly with no context, just people wrestling sharks.
Donald Trump also posting photos and images of himself uh golfing from last week. He thinks that's the type of content that people want to see as uh prices are surging, as inflation is red hot right now. Republicans are going on TV and conceding. Yes, prices are gonna get much higher. They already are, the MAGA Republican leaders are saying, but this is what we want. This is liberation. We deserve this. This is what we deserve. I'll show you MAGA Republican leaders using that as the new talking point. Democrats are up seven in the generic midterm poll, maybe because of things like that, among other things. Vladimir Putin is getting way more aggressive right now than even before. Uh some of the most intense fighting right now is taking place in Donetsk and Zapricia.
Uh, the areas that Putin is saying that he will need to have fully handed over for him in order for there to even be discussions of a potential ceasefire. And I want to talk about how Donald Trump's special envoy to Russia, Steve Whitkoff, who has no diplomatic or foreign policy experience, lied and said that Putin was agreeing to swap or give up territories when Putin said, Nope, we want Ukraine to hand over. Over territories that Russia has not taken over, and now Russia is increasing the killings in Ukraine. Didn't Donald Trump say he would end this war in 24 hours? Another lie. Let's talk about uh also Democrats fighting back, whether it's California Governor Gavin Newsom, whether it's Illinois Governor Pritzker, whether it's Senator Bernie Sanders in West Virginia.
We'll talk about all of that also. MAGA Republicans making a strong Move. It's very concerning, folks, to overturn same-sex marriage, petitioning the Supreme Court to get rid of same-sex marriage. That was always part of their plan. Uh quite dystopian indeed. Let's talk about all of it. We've got a lot to cover. Brett and Jordy, another Monday, more Trump fascism, more Trump lies, more MAGA harming our country.
More of everything except releasing the Epstein files, I guess. Any anything to distract from that. This is one of those mornings again where, you know, I've I've said it before, you wake up here on the West Coast and a lot has already kind of happened even when you wake up early. And you look at my I I look at my phone and I'm like, what? Liberate DC? We're sending the military into DC. What the heck? What does liberate even mean anymore? Is he tariffing DC? Oh, he's sending the military. But you got to decipher the language. You're just like this is his classic move that he does right now. And this is why it's always so important that we call out the lies every single day, every single minute, every single hour, because Trump uses lies to do really horrible things.
And we see where they lead and we see where they lead um internationally as well. We'll get into some other stories there. Um, but lies can have really serious consequences. We're gonna break down the latest news um of what happened. uh today with Donald Trump's announcement, um, and with all other things going on, I'll toss it over to Jordy because I know we have a whole lot to get into.
Hey everyone, what's up Mighty's Mighty? What's up brothers? Uh I'm just excited to get into today's show.
