Transcript:
This was one of the weirdest mornings in politics in a long time. First, Donald Trump’s medical report from Tuesday’s physical is nowhere to be found. They said it’d be out by Wednesday. It’s Friday. We don’t know where it is. The longer they wait, the bigger the story becomes.
Trump then loses it on Jill Biden because of her comments about Joe Biden’s debate performance in a bizarre Truth Social post, and somehow turns it all into being about himself.
And meanwhile, Trump’s allies are now entertaining the idea of a new $250 bill, which would have Trump’s face on it. By the way, this would be against the law. Can’t have living people on American currency.
And meanwhile, as the ballroom is being built, and UFC at the White House and Trump’s face on a $250 bill, grocery prices just keep going up.
In Texas, Republicans are panicking because James Talarico can keep it together. And in his latest appearance, his opponent, Ken Paxton, looks like maybe he’s had one too many gummies.
And then on top of all of that, we are going to look at why reasonably smart people, reasonably smart, keep falling for insane political movements. A hilarious Freudian slip that accidentally reveals far more than intended.
