What the hell is going on in Mar-a-Lago? Donald Trump is absolutely losing it. Look at this party he was hosting yesterday at Mar-a-Lago. These people are dressed up as dogs in these creepy masks as Trump is sending his ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo to terrorize the people in Minneapolis and St. Paul and so many cities across the United States of America, as Americans can't afford groceries, as foreclosures are hitting record highs, as Americans can't afford rent, as Americans are being psychologically tortured, living paycheck to paycheck, as Donald Trump is threatening to invade Greenland and the foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland had to come to the White House. And they were basically told by J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio, nope, the United States is not going to take it easy. We want to conquer you. And now special forces are being sent into Greenland from France and Germany and Sweden and Denmark and other countries and Canada to bolster the defenses in the event of a United States invasion. What the hell is Donald Trump doing in Mar-a-Lago? These dog faces? There are people dancing with dog faces right there. Seriously, what the hell is going on? How dystopian. Let them eat their cake. Let them eat their dog food. What in the world is happening? This is putrid behavior. But speaking of putrid behavior, there's been a lot of reporting now from Detroit, Michigan. Not only did Donald Trump give the middle finger to the Ford worker who called him a pedophile protector, but apparently, according to multiple sources that were there in Detroit, Donald Trump's body odor was so horrific that the Ford workers are still talking about it right now, even as much as they're talking about Donald Trump saying F you and giving the middle finger to the union worker who was since suspended. And by the way, hat tip to the United Auto Workers who say, you don't get to harass our union workers Even if you the president of the United States the union worker was saying something truthful that Donald Trump is a pedo protector What do you think it is when the Department of Justice now has become a racketeering enterprise to cover up a child sex trafficking ring and cover up the Epstein files But the workers are talking about Donald Trump's putrid scent even more than they're even talking about Donald Trump giving the middle finger and saying, F you, Lincoln Square, our friends over there say our Detroit staff is receiving numerous reports from the Ford workers that Donald Trump's body odor was like bad breath mixed with feces. I can't describe it. I will never forget it. Now you have those sites of Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago or what he's hosting this party at Mar-a-Lago with the dog faces. Let me show you these images from Minneapolis right now, from St. Paul right now. Yes, you have the dog party at freaking Mar-a-Lago. And this is what They are gassing Americans and people living in this country. People in Minnesota are being gassed. There are these flashbangs that are hitting people in the face, pepper spray, unknown noxious gases. That's what's going on in the United States right now. And while Donald Trump is hosting at Mar-a-Lago that whatever the hell you want to call that event, and apparently while he's disgustingly putrid body scent, is conceded. continuing to be the talk of the town of Detroit. Here's what Donald Trump posted yesterday. Does anybody believe that in Minneapolis, these are the food stamp businesses? There's no food. There's no cleanliness. There's no service. There's no nothing except fraud. You realize every word he says is projection. No cleanliness, that's you, Donald. Fraud, that's you, Donald. in terms of no service, no nothing. That's you, you empty vile piece of trash. They get sent. I know sometimes you're like, don't get all that angry, Ben. Just keep the reporting level. I will make a better effort in this video to do this. Sometimes it just pisses me off. I mean, you've got him throwing that weirdo Mar-a-Lago party while they're flaunting their wealth, while Americans are in the highest foreclosure rates we've ever had since great recessions. We're in a job recession right now. Manufacturing jobs are getting crushed. Our allies, your former allies, are uniting against us and sending special forces to avoid an invasion. And he's making posts like this in Minneapolis. They get sent millions of dollars of taxpayer money and laugh at how stupid the Americans are. But not anymore. These people should be sent back to Somalia or any other country from where they came. California, Illinois, New York, and so many other places are equally as bad. It's all a giant Democrat scam with protection from the fake news media, but it will end and we will make America great again. Well, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Canada, and France, they are now participating alongside Denmark in military exercises to stand up to the United States, to push back. Meanwhile, only 4% of Americans say it is a good idea for the United States to take Greenland by force. I mean, again, take Greenland by only 4% approved. By the way, we also learned that Trump is funneling Venezuelan oil money through Qatar, as Pablo Manriquez, who's our DC reporter, he's joined our DC bureau said I guess American banks aren good enough What a grip So revenue from oil sales it currently going to bank accounts located in Qatar That where the main account is The second official described Qatar as a neutral location where the money can flow freely or perhaps flow freely into Donald Trump's pocket. You're sending the money to Qatar. I mean, seriously, what the hell is going on right now? And meanwhile, Donald Trump said that he spoke with Delce Rodriguez, the authoritarian leader of Venezuela, who was Maduro's right. And she was Maduro's VP. And Donald Trump posted on social media that he had a great conversation with Delce, that he admires her, that he thinks that she's a very strong leader and that things are great with Delcy. Yeah, tell that to the pro-democracy, pro-opposition forces in Venezuela who are being repressed, who have all their hopes that Venezuela will become a democracy ripped away. Meanwhile, if you look at what's going on in Iran yesterday and into the morning right now, Iranian airspace was completely clear as Donald Trump threatened military action there. Frankly, he threatened the military action back on January 2nd, where he said, if Iran kills even one protester, the United States will aid those protesters. And Trump said, go out there, protesters. We've got your back. Well, now it's January 15th. OK, and anywhere from a thousand, five thousand, twelve thousand, as many as 20,000 protesters may have been massacred by the Ayatollah's regime. And at least as of this recording, the United States hasn't taken any action because Donald Trump has said that he wants to make sure the action is swift and decisive and it all gets done in one strike. He doesn't want any long war to take place in Iran. And if it's not going to wipe out the Ayatollah on one attack, Donald Trump says, well, he doesn't want to do it. Well, we'll see ultimately what happens. It does seem like a military attack is imminent. But given all of the factions in Iran and given the complexity of the region in general, I'm not sure one strike does it. Do we learn the lessons of the Iraq and Afghanistan situations, the disasters there? Have we learned from history about what takes place and what happens with regime change, especially in a place like Iran? Are we going to do regime change everywhere? and when you make that promise to the people out there that you're gonna go in guns a-blazing to use your words, you gotta do it, I guess, right? You gotta do it, but he hasn't done it yet. Let me show you, we've had, I mentioned our DC Bureau, hat tip to Pablo Monriquez, who's doing an incredible job. Oh, by the way, check this out.

Pablo Manriquez, that's what I was talking about. Pablo Manriquez was on Capitol Hill yesterday and he spoke to Congress member Ryan Democratic Congress member Ryan What do you make of the union worker who called out Trump as a pedophile protector? Here's what he says. Let's play this clip right here. What do you make of the union worker yesterday at the Ford plant who called out Donald Trump as a pedophile protector? He's a fucking American hero. He is a patriot. He is exercising his First Amendment rights and his rights as a hardworking union member to speak truth to power. So we're proud of him. We stand with him. And you saw how the president responded. He showed exactly how he's treated workers, despite his rhetoric. He is essentially, you know, in real life, given the thing, the middle finger to the working class Americans, despite his promises. So super proud of him. I want to share this with you as well, because Donald Trump is losing all support with Gen Z as well. In February, his support with Gen Z was plus 10%. But as Donald Trump is now apparently hosting dog mask parties at Mar-a-Lago, I don't know. I think that the Gen Z is beginning to understand Donald Trump's putrid smell. Just take a look at how Donald Trump's polling amongst Gen Z. Let's play this clip right now. Take a look here. Generation Z. John liked that. Gen Z party ID margin, Dems versus the GOP. In 2024, look at this. It was just a six point margin between the Democrats Republicans. Democrats just led by six points. Very small. Remember, Donald Trump did very well for a Republican candidate amongst the youngest part of the electorate. But take a look here, 2025. Hello. A huge widening of the lead for Democrats among Generation Z, tripling their lead on party identification from six all the way up to 20. That was, in fact, the largest shift, considerably more so than any other group. Yes, there was a shift in the overall electorate, but this more than double the shift that we saw among the electorate at large towards the Democratic Party. Okay, and we said it was decisive for Donald Trump. How have opinions shifted toward Donald Trump among this group? Okay, so this, in some ways, you know, you might say this, oh, this doesn't necessarily apply to Donald Trump. It absolutely does apply to Donald Trump. I mean, he has just fallen off a cliff when it comes to Generation Z. Look at this. Donald Trump's net approval rating in February of 2025. John said it right. Wow. This was actually a month into the administration. This was a month into the administration. He was at plus 10 points on the net approval rating. He was on the right side of the ledger. Look at this. Falling off that cliff. That is a drop of 42 points to negative 32 points on the net approval rating amongst Generation Z. My goodness gracious. This, as I said, is a very swingy group, and it has swung very much away from Donald John Trump. Awful, pitiful, putrid. And I'll just go show you this clip of Democratic Congress member Jamie Raskin. Here's what he was responding. Here's how he responded when asked about the union worker who called Donald Trump a pedo protector. Play this clip. What do you make of this union worker who called out Trump yesterday as a pedophile protector? I think that he was speaking in a factual sense. you
