[Music] everybody come on in here we’ve got a breaking news update presidential tweet it’s it’s coming in hot and I thought you’d like to share the moment so once we had a thousand people here maybe two thousand I think they’re piling in come on in we’ve got to talk about the breaking news presidential tweet about sleepy Joe Biden it’s big news big news all right so as you know while President Trump was in Japan on foreign soil he did mention something about sleepy Joe Biden being a low IQ individual as Kim jong-un had indicated in a statement now apparently he got some pushback and the president is responding to the pushback so I’d like to read you the president’s clarification because apparently some people were that maybe

[1:09]

apparently some people were that maybe they misinterpreted what he said and sometimes when you misinterpret things you can imagine that they’re much worse than they are so the president noticing that many people in the public had misinterpreted his comments about Joe Biden he clarified in his tweet and as a citizen I appreciate the clarification here it is from Donald J Trump and this is fresh I was actually sticking up for sleepy Joe Biden while on foreign soil so far so good Kim jong-un called him a quote low IQ idiot and any other things whereas I related the quote of Chairman Kim as a much softer quote low IQ individual and then the president asks who could possibly be upset with that fair question

[2:12]

I’m happy that the president clarified he was not not and let me let me emphasize his clarification the president did not go on foreign soil and call Joe Biden in low IQ idiots that’s fake news he’s clarified that he went on foreign soil and simply quoted current chairman Kim but softened him as a good president would you know a good president a very stable genius he’s not going to go to foreign soil and then insult somebody who’s leading in the polls to be President at least according to the polls he’s not going to do that so instead he goes on foreign soil and he softens Kim Jong Un’s really I think slanderous quote you know kim jong hoon said that biden is a low IQ idiot so that’s harsh doesn’t it feel harsh to

[3:13]

that’s harsh doesn’t it feel harsh to you i don’t think that’s something we can stand for so thankfully president Trump was the adult in the room we’ve got people hurling insults one person being apparently invisible is Joe Biden still campaigning has anybody seen Joe Biden though do we have photographic evidence that he’s still campaigning he’s still in the race right okay I don’t know about that I’ll check that later but in any event I think it’s generous its big-hearted and it’s very I think mature it’s sort of a literally thing to do for this president to soften Kim Jong Un’s harsh statements about Joe Biden from low IQ idiot I can’t stand for that I’m not gonna let Kim Jong hoon call the Democratic frontrunner a low IQ idiot not on my watch people not on my

[4:15]

idiot not on my watch people not on my watch and I know the president feels the same way so I too would like to soften it it at worst worst case scenario worst-case scenario Joe Biden is only a low Q individual I say that because of leadership President Trump has showed us how to how to interpret Kim jong-un’s speech in a way that doesn’t hurt us my ears feel safer now all right don’t you feel a little safer don’t you feel like your ears are not burning any more low IQ idiot ah my ears are burning my ears are burning but now try this off low IQ individual it feels it’s almost like a lotion to your ears I like you individual individual that’s good stuff so I thought I would just come here and

[5:16]

so I thought I would just come here and share the moment with you a moment of great leadership the kind of president that I think you agree with me oh my god we can never have another president if there has ever been a reason to reelect a president that’s better than this one I haven’t seen it if we’re being honest most of the time the news doesn’t really affect us too much it’s something that a lot of people can ignore their entire life they don’t even pay attention to the views their whole lives and they get along just fine but did we ever know that the news could instead of being you know if it bleeds it leads I remember when I was you know a kid that was the same if it bleeds it leaves and it would just be pictures of horrible things all the time because here’s another dead person hears something blowing up here’s a picture of a kitten drowning in a well and all the

[6:18]

a kitten drowning in a well and all the news was just horrible horrible stuff and then President Trump came and now the news is mostly imaginary literally stuff that people are making up but that little bit this has gone from horrible scenes of tragedies and dead people to a form of public comedy that’s about as good as I’ve ever seen I don’t know if you’ll ever see a more entertaining president here’s here’s what you need to know if you let this one get away in 2020 you’re gonna be barred for four years and I’m talking seriously bored your best hobby will be snatched away from you this is fun now I think we’ve gotten to the point where the the public and even the

[7:20]

point where the the public and even the pundits who come along last are starting to understand that when they said hey this candidate Trump he’s just a person who knows reality television he is a big ol con man and he’s just full of it and it’s all BS and he’s just doing it for the cameras and it’s just for fun and all that stuff what they didn’t see coming is it turns out those were exactly the skills to be a really good president nobody wants to admit that we would love we would love it that the only skills you need to be a president are you know you’ve went to a good school you know you got some good experience you seem to have a good character we’d love it if that’s all it took but I think he’s demonstrated fairly conclusively that having mastery of branding and entertainment being able to you know directly directly influence people’s

[8:21]

directly directly influence people’s dopamine is pretty useful stuff too personally my afternoon will be far better because of this tweet and I think I’m gonna love it the most when CNN tries to cover it or better yet doesn’t cover it because you know you know the anti-trump press is looking for any reason not to not to change you know the the attention from bad things and change it onto something that’s just clearly funny and I think every normal person if you put them alone in a room and nobody else was watching they would think this was pretty funny so you’re living in a good time the golden age when our news is funny things that the president tweeted that’s pretty good situation anyway I just wanted to come on here and share that with you and that’s all for

[9:21]

share that with you and that’s all for now
