Summary
This episode covers all of it.
Trump's "I don't think about anybody" quote in full context. FBI Director Kash Patel calling a senator a drunk under oath instead of answering whether he shows up to work sober. Lindsey Graham screaming at Defense Secretary Hegseth because the war he sold is falling apart. Israel publicly lobbying for more strikes while Americans pay $4.50 at the pump. The DOJ threatening to subpoena journalists for reporting the truth. Trump mocking JD Vance as a "little boy" for being evacuated faster during a shooting. Three unexplained dental visits in five months. The Supreme Court letting Alabama gut its court-ordered voting maps mid-election. Tennessee stripping every Black legislator of their committee assignments. A racist streamer terrorizing Nashville. And why the Democratic Party's answer to all of this has been a fundraising email while Zohran Mamdani proved in 131 days that the problems were always solvable.
The system is working as designed. Just not for you.

| 0:00.0 | The president of the United States was asked today, on camera, to what extent Americans' financial |
| 0:06.8 | situations are motivating him to make a deal with Iran? His answer, quote, not even a little bit. |
| 0:14.1 | But then he kept going. He said, I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think |
| 0:20.2 | about anybody. That's the president, |
| 0:23.2 | you guys. Today, well, inflation just hit a three-year high. Well, gas is $4.50 a gallon. Beef is up 15%. All of it, |
| 0:33.9 | every single one of these things, completely traceable directly to his war. |

| 1:30.3 | It's not broken. It's how it's designed. Every dollar is routed upward. To the defense contractors, to the tech billionaires on the ballroom donor list, |
| 1:36.9 | meta, Apple, Google, Amazon, to the oil companies making record margins right now while you and I |
