Chapter 1: Why do Democrats claim a constitutional crisis?
Democrats keep claiming that we're in a constitutional crisis. They haven't learned their lesson yet. They kept saying during the last election cycle that Donald Trump was a threat to democracy. You heard this over and over and over. Republicans, Trump, they were a threat to democracy. Everything Trump did was a threat to democracy.
Meanwhile, they were weaponizing the Department of Justice to go after President Trump. Joe Biden was thinking of new ways nearly every day to violate the Constitution. Well, now, when that particular line didn't work, the threat to democracy line, they've transmuted it into a constitutional crisis.
You see, it is now a constitutional crisis if the elected president of the United States appoints a person to go through all of the executive branches of government, all the various agencies, and root out waste, fraud, and abuse. Now this is a constitutional crisis.
No one thinks this is a constitutional crisis, which is why Donald Trump's approval ratings remain in the mid-50s at this point, the highest they've been in his entire career. There's a brand new poll out from the UK Daily Mail, and it shows his approval rating at 53%. 53%. That includes 57% of men, 49% of women, 51% of people aged 18 to 29, and 59% of people aged 30 to 49.
In fact, the people who are least likely to support President Trump at this point are the older folks, the 65 pluses. Democrats must be absolutely peeing their pants at this point. Because here's the thing. Most Americans look at what Trump is doing, particularly with Elon Musk and his revolutionary approach to government, which, again, should just be common sense.
Send somebody in to audit all these various agencies, figure out where the money is being wasted, and then don't waste our taxpayer money. It should just be basic common sense. It should be a 100% issue. Democrats are freaking out because, as we've discussed, the reality is the Democrats have built an entire bureaucratic system designed to do their will, whether they are in power or out of power.
The deep state that Donald Trump complained about during his first term, he was talking about the deep state thwarting his will on everything from foreign to domestic policy or militarizing itself against his presidency by... putting together ridiculous nonsense like the Mueller report.
But the reality is the deep state, meaning a permanent bureaucratic structure designed to funnel taxpayer money to allies of Democrats in and out of government, that has been a century-long project, and Donald Trump is systematically dismantling it. And the American people are for this.
If Democrats try to claim that that's a constitutional crisis, a threat to democracy, the elected president going to unelected bureaucrats and telling them not to spend taxpayer money, that is one of the least fascistic things I've ever heard in my entire life. It turns out that fascism is about centralization of power. in one man or in an oligarchy, who then take more control over the people.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of Trump's meeting with Elon Musk?
If you didn't have the October 7th catastrophe, and it was a horrible catastrophe, then probably you wouldn't be talking about that. But the only thing I can say is this is going to bring stability and peace to the Middle East. And ultimately, when it's developed, which will be in quite a while from now, because we want to let things calm down.
But when it's developed, it's going to bring tremendous numbers of jobs to the Middle East, including the people of your country.
And hilariously, King Abdullah was forced to sit there and take this. And he, too, admitted that President Trump is bringing stability in the region.
Mr. President, I truly believe that with all the challenges that we have in the Middle East, that I finally see somebody that could take us across the finish line to bring stability, peace, and prosperity to all of us in the region. And it is, I think, our collective responsibility in the Middle East to continue to work with you, to support you, to achieve those lofty goals.
So I'm very delighted to be here. And as you said, sir, we've got some very interesting discussions ahead of us.
Very good. Very good. Thank you very much.
And President Trump working his will in the Middle East. And as far as the notion that populations never move in the aftermath of losing a war, that obviously is untrue. Andrew Roberts, a very famous historian.
has a piece over the Washington Free Beacon spelling out that reality, which is that when you start a war and you lose a war, you tend to lose territory and your population tends to have to move. And that is true everywhere from the end of World War II to the end of the Korean War.
Quote, after North Korea launched its vicious, unprovoked attack on South Korea in June 1950, it was punished so severely by the American-led United Nations force, it lost over a million dead. North Korea lost territory in the armistice in 1953 and has been a pariah state ever since.
