Transcript:
We’ve unfortunately gotten pretty used to the new health care plan being two weeks away. That’s been the case since July of 2020. We also now are being acclimated to the idea that some kind of golden age of the American economy is just one quarter away. And we are going to look at new predictions, I guess, from Kevin Hassett of 4% growth and AI saving the world and everything being really awesome, but you’re just going to have to wait a couple more months.
Now, in reality, layoffs are smashing new records over 1.1 million jobs cut this year. We’re going to talk about that.
And then a stunning moment on Fox News where deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino basically admits he spent years pushing conspiracy theories that even he didn’t believe because it was profitable. I’m going to show you the clip. I’m going to give you my approach to this issue, which you probably won’t be shocked to hear, is a little different than Dan Bongino’s.
And also, Trump can’t stay awake. He fell asleep again, not only during a Cabinet meeting, but during the signing of a peace agreement. And it is raising serious questions about his health. Questions that, by the way, he is furious about.
Plus a bunch of the White House has been demolished for this huge vanity ballroom, and the project now has no architect. Trump is looking for an architect because the one who was going to do it quit because the idea didn’t make any sense.
All of that and much more on today’s program.
