Transcript of Trump Goes Into Hiding After This Leaks

So Donald Trump has canceled all of his in-person events running up through the election on Tuesday. A reporter just asked him about it, and he lost his friggin' mind. Kylie, roll the clip.

The Kansas has nothing to do with you being sick and traveling.

Are you sick?

He has that question.

You are sick. Who are you with?

I'm with Reuters, sir.

You are a sick guy. Reuters is terrible.

Well, Mr.

Look at this guy. He's way out of shape. Look at how badly he— He comes to me, "Sir, you're not going to go to Kansas." I'm not going to Kansas because he's doing very well. I'm going to do a teleroute. Tomorrow I'm doing Florida. He said, "What's the reason?" After doing, what, 28? He says, "What's the reason for this, sir, that you're not going to Kansas?" You know what the reason is? I don't feel I have to go to Kansas. I'm going to Florida tomorrow, and I'll do if something else comes up. But he said, "You're not going to Kansas, sir.

Thank you.

I'm Charlie. People online call me Shade Chuck. We're filling in for the ladies today while they're out. I'm here with Josh. Josh, as Donald Trump says somebody else looks sick while he looks like a melting piece of chicken fat, what do you think about that?

Is it any surprise, maybe, that he's ducking and running at this point? Because he has been the Democrats' greatest asset for the past 2 weeks. He gives these rallies, he sounds incoherent, talks about men's body parts, they attempt to fill up high school cafeterias, basically gymnasiums, and nobody's going. So it makes perfect sense that he doesn't want to— doesn't want to appear in public. I mean, it's kind of embarrassing. I think all of us, from where we sit on the Democratic side, we see that when he gives these speeches at these rallies, it exposes his incompetence.

Yeah. And I'm sure it doesn't help him— it helps us, but it doesn't help him— that the fact that every rally he attends now, there's 1 to 5 protesters in his ear calling him a pedophile. I'm sure he doesn't like that. He doesn't love that. And the reality, also, I'll remind folks, is when he calls somebody else unhealthy or unfit, we're talking about Donald Trump here, right? This man is supposedly being held up by stints on his legs. We can see it through his suit. He falls asleep at meetings with cabinet secretaries and staff. He takes his golf cart everywhere when his staff has to walk and run.

These briefings, we did get the chance to have a fairly detailed conversation about what the war plan would be if we restarted military operations. You've heard a preview that it would be a short-duration plan. I will just say this: their plan is insane. It won't— it won't— it will lead to devastating escalation and the likely destruction of our commitment to the rule of law.

Can you say more?

I mean, there's been open reporting as to what we may be planning and the civilian infrastructure that we may be targeting. I think the plan— the plan that they have— they've been asked by the president to develop a plan. Whether they believe it will work or not, I do not know. But the plan that they have developed will lead, in my view, to a prolongment and an escalation of this war that will be devastating for our security interests.

US strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure. That is Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut. He sits on the Committee of Foreign Relations. He hears things before we hear things. Josh, what do you think?

It's terrifying to me, I mean, to hear him say that. We've seen the mental capacity of Donald Trump on the campaign trail. We just talked about that, and that this person has control of our military, control of the fate of the young soldiers in our military. And we're in this war. We're in this war with Iran. Does anybody know why? Is it because Netanyahu's pushing Trump's buttons? Of course we know that's true. But we're in this war. It's getting ready to escalate. It's kind of like he says, "Hey, you know, we've got elections this week, so I can't go bomb a bunch of people, a bunch of innocent civilians, but I'm going to wait until next week."

Yeah. I mean, you said it's unpopular. Let's think about who this war is quite popular with. Oil executives, Donald Trump, and his family, right? Let's remember, Americans have, on estimate, spent $100 billion more on gas since this war started. That's over $500 per family. Donald Trump just last week talked on stage, proudly, that as Americans are suffering at the pump, that him and his cronies are making more money than they've ever made in their life.

Ever. And I want to bring up one more point about that. We reported recently, Jared Kushner has or owns a business that invests in 9 different companies that supply weapons and other services to military contracts for the country of Israel. And then we've also reported recently the ties between Kushner and Netanyahu, based on that Vanity Fair story. So there are all these financial hooks that are involved in why we're going to war, none of which have to do with what's best for the American people.

Yeah. And let's think about, again, the order of operations with how this worked before the war, which we don't talk about a lot, which is that big oil executives, lobbyists, their allies in D.C., went and met with Trump. They fought to roll back fuel efficiency standards. They fought to ensure that cars in the U.S. had to start using more and more gas again. And then we went to war. Gas prices soared. We all got fucked. And the oil executives and Trump made a shitload of money. You mentioned that your sons would not be getting sent to war. If they got sent to war, how devastating that would be.

Well, so you couple this story where you've got military digging graves, presumably for themselves or other soldiers, and then you've got this other story by Senator Murphy where he's been briefed about the pending strikes and attacks that are forthcoming and the massive destruction that will ensue from that. And so what do you make of this? I mean, other than they're anticipating mass casualties from this war, I mean, I don't know what else to make of it. I don't know the psychology behind having soldiers dig their own graves either.

I agree. I mean, something that I dug into this article a little bit. And something that the article said is the way they are practicing is they said, quote, "Based on this, commanders can plan for an engineer company with the requisite equipment to dig and cover trenches for up to 2,400 bodies every 24 hours if operating nonstop." 2,400 bodies an hour is what they're potentially planning for in this. Now, again, we're not hinting or making assumptions about what's happening here. But this has never been done before in decades. And again, this is Donald Trump, somebody who ran on No New Wars, who ran on not sending your sons and daughters to go get killed abroad.

If you're Black or if you're Jewish and if you vote for Abdul, you're crazy, okay? You're crazy. You're crazy anyway. But if you're Black.

You're crazy anyway. Let's think about that first before we even get into the fucking ridiculousness of this statement. Jews and Black people, regardless of what you do, you're crazy anyway. Let me just say before I go to you, Josh, I'm Jewish. I've said this on this show before. It is our moral obligation as Jews to support people like Abdullah Al-Sayed. I'm just going to say that right now. But even before we get into the racism and the anti-Semitism that Trump here is unleashing, it is Jews' moral obligation to support people like Abdullah Al-Sayed who are fighting for liberation, fighting for peace, fighting for free healthcare, fighting to protect our children.

I'd like to hear that. And how is what Trump said not considered anti-Semitic?

It is.

And why isn't the media asking him these questions just like they do with Abdullah Al-Sayed? Why is there such a double standard? Because if a Democrat said that on a campaign speech to an audience, everybody would be raining hellfire on this person for being anti-Semitic, for not supporting Israel, not supporting Jews. That's the first point. Now, the second point is that we all know that Donald Trump is a racist. Nobody can even refute that at this point in time. Just a few reminders of that.

That's right. And to your point, the double standard is insane. We all know that. But I also want to say and repeat that this is what fascists do. They hit you over the head again and again and again until you are numb to what they are saying and until the media stops covering it because it's boring, because it stops getting clicks. That does not mean what he's saying is less important or less scary. This is not the first time that Donald Trump has said stuff like this. In July, Trump said that how a Jewish person can vote for a Democrat is beyond me.

There's a lot of hatred being thrown about in Michigan, but it is not coming from Abdul. Look, I understand that the issue of Israel and Gaza is a very sensitive issue. People disagree. My own view is that, in fact, this right-wing extremist Netanyahu in Israel has, in fact, committed genocide against the people of Palestine, the people in Gaza. That does not make you anti-Semitic.

I agree with Senator Sanders there for the record. Not to keep going on my high horse here, but again, I am Jewish. My grandfather was the lead psychiatrist at the Nuremberg trials. I have been to Auschwitz. And I can also say that what I'm seeing abroad, not because of my own personal opinions, but because of what human rights groups all over the world are saying, is that what Benjamin Netanyahu's government is doing is genocidal. And I think it is completely valid and fair and right for our candidates, our progressive candidates, our Democratic candidates like Abdullah Al-Sayed to call that out and say that, actually, no, we do not want our tax dollars going to fund these things.

Well, I agree with everything you said, and I agree with Senator Sanders. And I've often thought, because I view this from afar, the Palestinian-Israel conflict, and I've never understood how the media can cast or Republicans can cast an opinion of criticism toward Israel as being anti-Semitic. I think that's the number one thing right now. If you're critical on any aspect, any aspect of Israel, then you're anti-Semitic. And that's just wrong. It's just fundamentally wrong, like Senator Sanders points out.

If we can't stand up to genocide and call out genocide, how can we fight for democracy? How can we fight for freedom here? How can we fight for the rights of Black people and immigrants and queer people and Muslim people and Jews here? We are allowed to be honest about what we are seeing. We are allowed to believe our eyes, even when a fascist government is telling us not to. And unlike Bernie Sanders, I will say that there is another senator from New Jersey who had somewhat of a different reaction to talking about Abdullah Al-Sayed.

Going to see record African-American midterm turnout.

Senator, I didn't hear you mention Abdullah Al-Sayed's name. I wonder if you have concerns about his candidacy and his viability among Black voters.

This is my focus right now is winning back the Senate. And it's why I'm traveling all over the country. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that Democrats have control in the gavel and can hold Donald Trump accountable, can actually check and balance his policies that are hurting people. And I certainly hope we have a 55-vote seat majority in the Senate.

I'm not hearing a ringing endorsement. Nevertheless, I have to move on. What you're hearing there is Cory Booker, Senator Cory Booker, somewhat refusing to endorse Abdullah Al-Sayed. As a reminder, we saw him do the same thing with Zoram Amdani in the New York mayoral election, where he said that, oh, I don't get involved in New York politics, even though it's less than two miles or less than five miles from where he used to be the mayor in New Jersey. And while he, as he says himself, travels the country campaigning for other Democratic campaigns, for some reason, he is unable to stand on two feet and support Abdullah Al-Sayed publicly.

Watching videos like that makes me want to reach over the room and smash my laptop.

That's right.

We've got Democratic leadership. And we know Senator Booker, he takes APAC money. And he can't endorse Abdullah Al-Sayed at a critical moment in this election to give the Democrats majority of the Senate because he's leveraged by APAC money? Are you fucking serious? I mean, this is the problem with Democrats. This is the problem right here.

I mean, let's.

Can't let it happen.

Let's also remember Cory Booker is the one who, I think, around six months ago, was caught shaming voters for not supporting Kamala Harris, right? So you can't have it both ways. And I also just want to say here, I know we are close to an election to one of the most monumental and important elections we ever had. We hear it from moderate liberal Democrats constantly, my whole life, that vote blue no matter who. And for the most part, you know what? When we move past the primaries, when we get to the general elections, I agree. It's time to get in line, big tent.
