Full Episode
A war has just broken out between India and Pakistan as India struck targets in an area in Kashmir controlled by Pakistan. What is Donald Trump doing while that was taking place? He was holding a 2026 World Cup playoff. planning task force. That was one of the most bizarre press events that I've ever seen. Just take a look what the newswire was saying.
You had the newswire saying Pakistan will respond to attacks by India. Military says India army says justice is served after strikes on sites in Pakistan. Donald Trump says, I don't know if I'm supposed to say soccer or football. Pakistan begins process of retaliation against India strikes. That's what's going on. And Donald Trump says the following. Let's play this clip.
And we can't wait to welcome soccer fans from all over the globe. I don't know if I'm supposed to say soccer or football because every time I say soccer, Barron and Eric say you're really saying it wrong. It's supposed to be football, but we know it more as soccer.
And then Donald Trump at this bizarre press conference asks Rudy Giuliani's kid, who's one of the leaders of the 2026 World Cup task force. Trump asks Giuliani's kid, if my golf game is good, he goes, tell everyone I'm a good golfer. Tell everyone I'm a good golfer. Here, play this clip.
And our executive director, Andrew Giuliani, just got the post, and he's going to be great. I know him for a long time. He's a highly competitive golfer, which, I mean, really good. And he's also a highly competitive person, and he loves what we're doing. So I want to congratulate you and your family and your father, your great father, who was the greatest mayor in the history of New York.
So I want to congratulate the family. It's a big post. You better do well, Andrew. Thank you. Tell him, is my golf game okay, too? Fantastic. He knew what to say, see? Well, he's a smart person.
That's why I pointed him. Then Trump gets upset that Russia has been removed from the G8 for quite some time, Donald. He's like, that should never have happened. That should never have happened. That's what you're talking about while a war has just broken out between India and Pakistan? Play this clip. What's going on right now?
I thought it was a very bad decision. It was headed by Trudeau, by the way, and Obama, they were the ones that really fought hard to get Russia out. I think if Russia were in, you wouldn't be. They threw them out. And because of that, maybe millions of people are dying. Millions, you know, millions. The numbers are far greater than you think. But millions of people are dying.
If he was sitting around a table with other people, seven people hammering him and saying, let's not do this, you would. I think you wouldn't probably have had the problems that you've had.
