Chapter 1: What happened during Donald Trump's speech in Las Vegas?

0.031 - 20.019 Donald Trump

This was an absolute disaster for Donald Trump in Las Vegas. He just wrapped up an awful speech before a very small crowd. He arrived about 90 minutes late. He was clearly humiliated that they put him in a really small, tiny room before a teeny, tiny crowd.

Chapter 2: Why was Donald Trump late to his speech and what was the crowd size?

20.32 - 36.86 Donald Trump

Let me just show you what this room looked like before he arrived. Let's play this clip right here. I scarce can take it easy Then Donald Trump started speaking and he didn't know what a corner store was.

36.96 - 56.481 Donald Trump

I think the purpose of this speech, I guess, was to talk about affordability, something that Donald Trump has woefully failed on and defrauded Americans, but he doesn't even know what a corner store is. Let's play this clip. Probably about four or $5,000 and they wanted to raise your taxes.

56.461 - 74.768 Donald Trump

The Great Big Beautiful Bill also slashed taxes on millions of American small businesses, including restaurants, strike cleaners, corner stores. What is a corner store? I've never heard that term. I know what a corner store is, but I've never heard it described. A corner store. Who the hell wrote that, please? And more.

Then Donald Trump started ranting and raving to the crowd that he is not a senior citizen. And he was being serious. He thinks he's not a senior citizen. He goes, I'm protecting the seniors, but I'm not a senior. Here, play this clip. In addition to no tax on social security, over 51 million seniors now pay. Seniors are loving me. And I love them. Of course...

103.745 - 125.33 Donald Trump

Of course, I'm not a senior, so I, you know, I cater to the seniors, but I don't happen to be a senior myself. Thank you very much. Then Donald Trump talked about that ridiculous stunt, that scam they pulled in front of the White House with the DoorDash grandma. And even Donald Trump was like, yeah, that really was unbelievable what we tried to pull on everybody. Here, play this clip.

125.61 - 138.345 Donald Trump

Earlier this week at the White House, I met a wonderful woman named Sharon Simmons, a grandmother driving DoorDash to help support her husband's cancer treatment. She's got serious cancer. She's going to be okay, I think.

Chapter 3: What incoherent claims did Trump make about the economy?

138.365 - 159.148 Donald Trump

Sharon delivered McDonald's to the Oval Office. It was a little bit of a, you know, I mean, to be honest, it was a little tacky. You know, they come up with these crazy ideas like McDonald's, although that was the biggest ever on Google, they say, number one ever, and the garbage truck. I mean, we do these things in politics. They're a little embarrassing.

0

160.023 - 179.961 Donald Trump

They're a little tiny embarrassing, but we do them and you win by landslides, you know? So we got to keep doing them. No, we got to knock on the Oval Office door. This does not happen. That's the first maybe in the history of the Oval Office. And it was a very beautiful woman standing there with two big bags of McDonald's hamburgers. And I say, is this really believable?

0

180.502 - 202.452 Donald Trump

But the point of it was she made. Yeah, even Donald Trump admits that that scam failed. Remember, we did the expose on the Midas Touch Network about that scam. But then Donald Trump said the way he's gonna help with affordability very soon, he's gonna start increasing tariffs again, which are taxes on the American people. Okay, Donald, here, play this clip.

Very big factor, and it's having a huge impact on our car companies, which are expanding like never before. We're selling more cars now. A lot of it has to do with tariffs. You pay no tariffs if you come here. If you don't come here, you pay a lot of tariffs, and we're raising those tariffs very soon. Not on you. It's on people from the outside that don't build their plants here.

222.827 - 242.631 Donald Trump

We have now hundreds of billions. We have actually 18 trillion dollars being invested in the United States. Then Donald Trump says he likes Treasury Secretary Scott Besant because when Donald Trump speaks, the markets get panicked. But when Besant speaks, the markets get sued. Here, play this clip.

242.651 - 264.651 Donald Trump

More about these incredible things that are happening, I'm gonna ask really a respected guy, a great guy too. He's difficult. This guy, he's difficult. But he's great. And you know, when he speaks, the whole market gets soothed. When I speak, the market goes a little jittery. And they say, Scott, go out there, clean it up for me, Scott.

265.846 - 271.516 Donald Trump

but now he's a fantastic guy, and Scott, you're gonna say a few words, and then we're gonna hear from a few of the people.

Chapter 5: What did Trump say about being a senior citizen?

288.668 - 316.761 Donald Trump

They are not laughing. They're not laughing anymore. I don't think anybody just ask those. I don't want to be a wise guy. I don't want to speak too soon. But we do very well. You notice that we're doing very well. And I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly. We can do whatever we want. And it should be ending pretty soon. It was perfect. I mean, it's perfect.

316.942 - 338.608 Donald Trump

It was the power we have, our military. We have the most powerful military anywhere in the world. I built it four years, my first four years. Then he goes on to say, you know, when people hear about inflation, it's fake. He says it's fake inflation. Let's play this clip. In the report released last week, core inflation was down to the lowest level in five years.

339.248 - 359.85 Donald Trump

And very shortly, we're going to be probably eight or nine years. Don't forget, we're having some fake inflation because of the fuel, the energy prices, which everybody said was going to 250. We're talking about that, Scott. They said 250, $300. I mean, today, what was it? I finished at $89 or $90, right? And that's in the, you know, we haven't settled yet.

360.01 - 380.953 Donald Trump

Maybe we won't, but I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised. Then Donald Trump talks about why he blew up Iranian ships, and he's like, why did we blow them up? He's like, I would have wanted to use those ships. We couldn't have turned the Iranians into American soldiers. Here, play this clip. 115. I got angry. I said, why didn't you save them? We could have used them, you know?

They would rather shoot him than save him. I said, what the hell? It's only money. But some of them were good. They had one named the Soleimani. You know what the Soleimani? We took him out. Then Donald Trump goes on to say that every single American at every income level is rich right now. Everyone is doing great, which we know is not the case. Play this clip.

400.542 - 422.517 Donald Trump

But every single American at every income level has more money in their pockets this week because of the Republican tax policies. And we got to win the midterms. If we don't, these policies are going to be taken away from you. The taxes are going to go through the roof. Then he says a year ago, the United States was an embarrassment to the entire world. The whole world laughed at us.

You know, you got to find a way. But sir, don't do it, sir. $300 a barrel. It's going to be a wild thing. It's going to be horrible. The depression is going to happen.

Then Donald Trump goes after the Republican George W. Bush judge who once again blocked the construction of his ballroom. A Trump-hating judge for the first time in history wants Congress to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for a glorious ballroom instead of accepting donations from great American companies and citizens. This is a first.

696.583 - 716.107 Donald Trump

In other words, he wants taxpayers to pay for the ballroom. No, he just said, have Congress approve the private citizens. That's all he said. More attacks on the ballroom by him.
