But again, it's not a competition. It's time of the year again, which everyone has been waiting for. So, let's hurry up and keep it up. First a gift, then to the grocery store, sometimes to clean and pack as well. King Kunin, boxes to the kitchen, it's about to start. Food to the table, snacks to the table and to eat. Then we share the gifts, we repeat the same the next day, but without gifts.

the White House is in panic mode. Donald Trump's chief propagandist, Caroline Leavitt, just held a horrific press conference that just utterly blew up in her face. Let me show you what went down. She was asked why Donald Trump continues to wear bandages on his hand, to which Caroline Leavitt responds, it's because he shakes so many hands each day that that's why he has to wear a bandage?

203.34 - 204.401 Ben Meiselas

Here, play this clip.

The reporters in the White House, you know I'm often critical of them, but they're asking really good questions now. Next, a reporter says, why is Donald Trump saying that the farmers are getting bailed out based on tariff money when in fact it's actually coming from the Commodity Credit Corporation? So why is he lying? And do you think it's a good look?

for a billionaire president to tell parents they should only be buying three dolls and two pencils for Christmas? Here, play this clip.

Andrew. Thank you, Karen. Two for you. First, when the president announced the farm relief program the other day, Secretary Rollins afterwards, right out there, told us that the program would be paid for by the Commodity Credit Corporation, an existing program. The president keeps saying that it's being paid for by tariff revenue.

0

826.803 - 840.898 Unknown

Why does he keep saying that if the secretary who's running the program says that's not the case? And also about his dull comments from the other night. The president's a billionaire. He's probably the wealthiest person to ever serve as president.

840.878 - 852.341 Unknown

Is it a good look for him to be telling parents, oh, you should only buy, you know, two or three dolls for your kids when he's one of the wealthiest people in the country?

852.361 - 868.124 Ben Meiselas

Do you think the people in that room in Pennsylvania who the president was speaking to don't know the president's a billionaire? I think that's a very well-established fact. And actually, I think it's one of the many reasons they reelected him back to this office, because he's a businessman who understands the economy and knows how to fix it.

868.224 - 890.016 Ben Meiselas

And he's doing it right now, just like he did in his first term. Sure. Next, she's asked about, so where's the healthcare plan, Caroline? She goes, oh, he's coming up with creative solutions. Here, play this clip. They created the problem. The president and Republicans are currently coming up with creative solutions and ideas to lower healthcare costs for the American people.

890.036 - 891.899 Ben Meiselas

And you'll continue to hear more from them on that.

Chapter 3: How did a reporter fact-check Caroline Leavitt during the press conference?

1139.171 - 1161.307 Ben Meiselas

And the Trump DOJ doesn't even want to prosecute him for human trafficking. They're trying to deport him to Africa where he has no ties to. And he's like, you What are you even doing? He goes, let's do the trial if you want to do the actual trial. And while Donald Trump is pardoning the biggest drug traffickers that there are, like the former president of Honduras.

1161.708 - 1180.771 Ben Meiselas

Next, a reporter asks again, well, you know, these ACA, these Affordable Care Act subsidies are expiring in like two weeks. What are you doing? Here, play this clip. I love it. Mary. It now seems all but certain that the Obamacare subsidies will expire at the end of the year. It means more than 20 million Americans are now bracing for their health care costs to soar.

0

1181.553 - 1195.034 Ben Meiselas

Is the president prepared to let this happen, or is he going to step in? The president is prepared to take action on healthcare, and he wants Republicans on the Hill to do the same. As you have seen, Senate Republicans put forth their own legislation earlier this week.

0

1195.575 - 1218.846 Ben Meiselas

As for the subsidies that are set to expire, I would like to remind you and everybody at home why this is on the brink of happening. Democrats wrote Obamacare. They passed it without a single Republican vote, and then they ballooned it with these expensive COVID subsidies that completely distorted Yep, and all they're doing is attacking Democrats.
