More Trump Embarrassment

On tonight’s show I’ll be discussing Trump’s Fourth of July debacle — from his late-night speech and delayed fireworks to the horrible air quality that followed — and how his America 250 celebration compared to the massive Bicentennial turnout in 1976. I’ll also be talking about Stephen Miller’s racist Independence Day rant about “third world” immigrants supposedly not inventing anything — when, in fact, the wheel came from Mesopotamia — plus the white supremacists who descended on DC, Trump’s latest attack on Muslim American children, and his disgusting comments about Ilhan Omar and Somali immigrants. Then we’ll look at Trump’s strange new attacks on Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the controversy over a World Cup red card being overturned for the U.S., Trump loosening gun restrictions for some people previously barred over mental illness, his latest vanity project putting his name on the $100 bill, and his move against the Smithsonian. And finally, we’ll get into the growing split inside MAGA over Ukraine — including Laura Loomer suddenly declaring herself pro-Ukraine — as the U.S. warns Russia could move against Poland and Ukraine urgently asks for more Patriot missiles to stop Russian ballistic attacks. 00:00 — Opening 03:00 — Trump ruins Fourth of July 04:00 — Why delay the fireworks until 11 PM? 05:00 — Park Service cancels over lightning; Trump overrules it 06:00 — Trump’s speech nearly pushes July 4 fireworks into July 5 07:00 — Smoke, bad visibility, and awful air quality 08:00 — Trump’s turnout compared to the 1976 Bicentennial 10:00 — Trump’s pathetic America 250 “state fair” on the Mall 12:00 — Stephen Miller’s racist Independence Day rant 14:00 — The wheel came from Mesopotamia, not MAGA fantasyland 15:00 — Immigrants and the real history of medicine, aviation, and technology 18:00 — White supremacists march in DC; Republicans blame Antifa 20:00 — Trump attacks Muslim kindergarteners in hijabs 24:00 — Did Trump help the U.S. cheat at the World Cup? 26:00 — Trump’s creepy attack on Giorgia Meloni 30:00 — Trump relaxes gun rules, puts his name on the $100 bill, and targets the Smithsonian 32:00 — Laura Loomer suddenly turns pro-Ukraine 36:00 — U.S. warns Russia could test NATO by moving against Poland 40:00 — How Putin could grab Polish territory without triggering a full NATO response 44:00 — Ukraine urgently needs more Patriot missiles 46:00 — Ukraine’s refinery strikes and Russia’s gasoline problems 50:00 — Russians’ gas-station app gets sabotaged 52:00 — DC smog, Trump’s reflecting pool mess, and creator chat 62:00 — Graham Platner, Maine Senate, and Democratic headaches 70:00 — Strait of Hormuz traffic after the Iran crisis 72:00 — World Cup in the U.S. and sign-off
