0:00.0	Welcome to the David Pacman Show. My name is Brittany Page from the page perspective right here on
0:12.4	YouTube. And I am the very lucky guest host for today while David is off, hopefully enjoying
0:18.3	some much needed rest given he's the hardest working man in online political media.
0:23.5	Let's just get right into it.
0:25.4	It appears as though Donald Trump had a really rough holiday weekend from the unhinged post on truth social to the word salad speech at the wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery,
0:38.3	he doesn't seem like a man who is doing well.
0:42.0	And we're going to play a clip from the speech where he somehow finds a way to make
0:47.2	the Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery about him.
0:53.5	In a moment, we're going to play that, but prepare yourselves because I was cringing watching

1:36.7	who are on a mission to keep murderers, drug dealers, rapists, gang members, and released
1:44.0	prisoners from all over the world
1:46.2	in our country so they can rob, murder, and rape again. All protected by these USA-hating judges
1:54.6	who suffer from an ideology that is sick and very dangerous for our country. Hopefully the United States Supreme Court and other good and compassionate judges throughout
2:06.2	the land will save us from the decisions of the monsters who want our country to go to hell.
2:13.9	I mean, sometimes you just need to hear it from someone who's not him to understand how unhinged it is.
