Transcript:

We are on the precipice of 2026, and it is looming very large for Republicans. We are going to talk about it.

Donald Trump’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi, panic deleting a tweet after accidentally praising former President Joe Biden with her own chart. Really a revelation into how propaganda works in Trump World, which is vibe first, facts later.

Dr Oz went on TV and delivered dangerously bad medical advice, raising more questions as to whether this guy should be in charge of anything—never mind anything medically related.

And we now see the Trump administration shaking down its own supporters for cash, using fake headlines, using imaginary deadlines, and completely fabricated economic ideas. It is pure panic, and it’s all happening during a cost of living crisis.

We’re also going to show you how Donald Trump, I guess accidentally, reposted praise from these foreign troll accounts, actually making our point for us.

And then Caroline Sunshine is back, and she says Trump is Daddy, and you’d better accept it. It is a cult, ladies and gentlemen.

The last show of the year. Glad you’re with me today.
