 Good Friday morning, I'm Jay Fidel and it's Friday and you know what that means. Trump week and we have a wonderful list of of points to cover this morning. Before we do though there's one point of interest that we want to bring to your attention. Cynthia and I have both looked at this and we've found it excruciatingly funny. Now it seems that parodies are sweeping the nation and one of the big parodies is Randy Rainbow. Randy Rainbow has dozens of parody videos on YouTube and they're hysterical and we want to show you one of them just as an example of the quality, the production quality and the humor and you know and the care and concern that has gone into these parodies which makes them so funny. There are others but let's look at this one from Randy Rainbow which is so part of it. It's a very stable genius. Whatever girl. What a way to begin a Friday. Now that's just one example of dozens that Randy Rainbow had, I don't know what his real name, that Randy Rainbow has on YouTube. There are others too, the guy named Don Caron who has a quartet that has these very funny parody songs. But you know the news item here is that Randy and others are making parodies that are very high quality and they are very popular. They're getting millions of views on YouTube and they make fun of you know who. So it's perfectly in line with our Trump read to report this to you and tell you there's something sweeping the country on YouTube as parodies. What do you think Cynthia? I think it's genius and I think that it's genius. I really do believe it's genius, yes. Rimes with never mind. I love the way it's the parody on real things. So it's funny yes but it shows kind of the ridiculousness of this president which is what I love about it. I think that's just like I said I think it's genius. Well it's sweeping the country I think just by the number of views and the quality of these things is just fabulous and you know the power of derision, the power of parody, this has got to take a toll. It's got to maybe reach the base and make it clear you know the absurdity of what has been happening and they cover all kinds of events you know. The other thing I want to report to you Cynthia is that there's a you know wikipedia. A lot of people put wikipedia down you know sort of all-purpose online encyclopedia but there you know there is one I call it an article it's more than an article though it's a listing of all the lawsuits against Trump now about policies and actions that he's taken which are unconstitutional which are in violation of law and it goes on and on and on with citations so if you're a lawyer or if you're interested in learning about all this litigation or just seeing the magnitude of it go on wikipedia and look up you know Trump lawsuits or Trump litigation you'll find this right away or Trump court cases you'll find it right away and it's it's it's updated like daily right so this is what you want to look at and we should look at it from one of our shows if you want to know all the lawsuits that are that are happening a lot of them have not been resolved and there's a pipeline of them and when they start getting resolved we're going to see some interesting developments worth talking about here I agree I you know after I looked at those when you sent those to me I looked at that and I decided I wanted to see okay so how many lawsuits did Obama have in his eight years 35 all totaled from the GOP against his executive orders I didn't get a chance to look and really see how many of them were favorable for the GOP or favorable for Obama I didn't get to see that part but just as far as how many were brought against him there's 35 all totaled in the eight years Trump has 45 and he hasn't even been there for four years yet so I think that really says a lot just how unbalanced it is kind of look at the subject matter I mean I don't think that uh I don't think that the suits against Obama were were founded in violations of the United States Constitution no I don't think they were a section on this website a number of lawsuits right based on Trump's alleged violation well it's more than a legend violation of the various provisions right in the Constitution well the they separated out to in what is that article you something which is really great they separated out between the sexual abuse ones that are against him the ones that are against the emoluments the ones that are against the campaign finance things there so they're all separated out too so they're easy to really you're following a given area right of lawsuit and easy to find the suit that you care about but suffice to say there are tons and tons and they have been accumulating at a rapid rate I would say the rate has been increasing over the last few months anyway let's talk about our our observations of what Trump has been doing this week there's plenty of it and try to connect the dots the first topic and this is your agenda Cynthia and Cynthia Sinclair okay Trump wants putting back on the G seven hyphen eight what's going on there are so many lies that he told around this whole subject to and now we're finally starting to hear from other world leaders so we really know what the truth is he was saying that everybody's behind him they're all open to it actually no they're not open to it they are absolutely adamantly opposed to having him come back they excluded him because he invaded Crimea right so um he's still there he's still occupying the place it's not like he said okay I did wrong I'll come back I'm sorry right no he's still there he's still in Ukraine too Ukraine he's still doing more Ukraine and and and what's interesting just a little footnote is that Trump has stopped American aid to Ukraine yes just right last couple days and you know one of those catch me if you can sort of things where he doesn't really announce it because he doesn't have press conferences he has a helicopter struts so to speak so he can use the excuse I didn't really hear the question correctly does anyway so yeah so it's emerging that Trump is Putin's best friend yes and they got a relationship but oh yeah in the in the Randy rainbow he calls him he calls Putin uncle daddy or something Trump's daddy Trump's daddy right yeah well you know um there were they did take a vote six people I mean six of the leaders said no first Trump was all by himself out there he created a rather large argument the very first night of the whole thing um and then he says well Putin outsmarted Obama Obama should have kept him from doing that but he didn't and Putin just outsmarted him so we can't really hold it against Putin because all he did was it was really Obama's fault everything's always Obama's so ridiculous so there were some really big lies that he told about the summit when he was there um the first one was there was no fights when in reality there was bitter disagreements throughout the whole entire thing when he was being questioned about North Korea and he's talking about what a great guy Kim Jong-un is and how what a great relationship they have with him and and even his wife even Milania is very fond of him and all this like they were best friends but in reality she's never even met him and so the way they tried to cover that up was well I talked to her about him all the time and that's why she likes him so much she's crazy the way they try to cover up these lies and Kim Jong-un meanwhile is firing missiles all over the Pacific all over the Pacific and has now a submarine that is capable of firing nuclear weapons selling a great relationship yeah and and he's done so well with all the things that he promised Trump hasn't done one single thing he promised Trump going back to the g7 so okay back to the g7 um he says that when he's being questioned about the whole china tariff you know trade war um he says that he just loves Xi Jinping that they're just very good friends that they called him and said they want to make a deal just not true at all they didn't call him to say they wanted to make a deal it's really in reality they're fighting amongst themselves some of them want to sit down and try to make a deal and the rest of them don't even want to sit down at all so there's a big thing going on between the paper reported that uh that china Xi Jinping has not made any concessions whatsoever none tariff no tariff doesn't matter doesn't haven't conceded anything to trump and there is no incipient agreement in fact i'm not sure that trump knows what the agreement you know he wants is he doesn't know what agreement he's beating people up that's what he does well he likes to say that china has been ripping us off for all these years and it's all everybody else's fault the two bushes should have fixed it you know clinton should have fixed it obama should but he's the chosen one he's going to be the one to fix it he doesn't know what to do and he has no agenda on this phony agreement that he hopes but they aren't responding at all no um so it's interesting well let's let's let's let's make some traction here one more big lie i think and one more big thing that i think was really important and telling you um and that is that he did not go to the meeting that was about climate change well that's when he had to rearrange his sock draw yes that's what he was doing well he told everybody what he was doing was meeting with germany and i think it was israel um and uh they they are pictured in the meeting in the climate change meeting so obviously he wasn't meeting with them right oh that's not true it's just a lie another lie there were a bunch of big lies that that he told um okay let's move on yeah let's move away no wait because i want to say the derral thing really quick he is inviting everyone for the g7 the g7 next g7 is going to be here in america and he wants to have it at one of his clubs a big one that he has down in in derral florida the derral club and um so this you know puts him in a position to make hundreds of thousands of dollars more like probably millions because they're all going to bring their you know their entourage they're going to bring everybody with them everybody's got to rent a place and the rents will be high and the rents will be jacked up you know they will provided that the club is still there because there's a tornado and a story in his story in his head right straight from morrillado so who knows if any of his clubs will even be there okay we take a short break that's Cynthia Sinclair i'm jay fidel this is trump week we'll be right back hello everybody my name is walter kawaii uh i'm your host for a monthly live streaming video entitled ukulele songs of hawaii where i bring on guests we enjoy talking story about the music

in and join me on mondays at 11 a.m as we go beyond the lines on think tech hawaii aloha hey trump week you know if you had to define obama you the word that comes to mind is decent yes it wasn't right all the time but he was always decent um you know in the case of trump if you look for a word to define him it would be mean right and unethical okay yeah crooked thank you um so you know aside from this ethical consideration over using mara lago for government business um there are either other things too and one thing that popped up uh this week was his attempt and maybe he will succeed at deporting sick children children who will die without american medical care want to talk about well i think one of the most dramatic examples of that is a little girl who was um actually they went out and invited her in because it's such a rare disease for clinical trials right for clinical trials in san francisco she was there and um she is now they said she probably wouldn't live until she was even eight years old she wouldn't even see eight she's now like 24 she's already graduated from college with honors right um and is really active in helping other people with that same disease and she got a letter and this letter that they're sending yeah isabel she's just sweetest can be um this is amazing attitude and she lives in a wheelchair i mean she goes through incredible she has to have pain the treatments every week yeah weekly treatments infusions or she will die or she will die right no one is keeping her alive so he wants to send her away she's got to go 33 days everybody that was sick that got one of these letters it is a deportation letter that says you have to leave within 33 days or we're going to come find you by the way the government is not paying for medical care no her family has regular medical insurance insurance right that covers the cost of it so this is one of those situations you know related to his attempt to deny green cards if you've taken government benefits there are no government benefits involved here right really awful what he's doing he's essentially issuing a death warrant for this child he is no longer a child a young a young woman not just this child there's a lot of them there's apparently over a thousand of them these letters that went out to different kids that are only here for medical treatments and that they have to leave their families they and their families have to leave within 33 days and one of the things that's important about this is that there's no advocate there's no avenue for them to follow up to you know to try to go back and say wait no how do I fight this in court can I prove that I really am and really need this you know there's no there's no appeals process there's nothing which means I mean the fair chance here is the matter what kind of outrage we have or that the country has or right thinking people decent people have these these kids will probably have to leave and they will probably die like the one in question is about yeah is about so if you're looking for decency you won't find it there in fact it gets worse all the time it gets heartless reminds me of the apprentice with a heartless senseless ass backwards firings to people all the time right that's what we got in this administration I don't know who could relate to that I don't either that cruelty that let's talk about environment we got we got we're in the middle of time boy you spoke of how we had to clean his sock drawer while they he's seven we're talking about environment right but it gets much worse than that boy does it ever comes to mind is the story of the ton gas forest I've been there I have to breathtakingly beautiful I agree and it is a big part of the North American contribution to retaining the carbon and avoiding or minimizing really a climate change but he's going to tear that up just like logging Bolsonaro in Brazil that's right he says nothing about the fires in Amazon in the Amazon and he's refused to give any money to help to fight them even though all the other countries came forward with money to help and what he's doing in the ton gas is he's just letting oil and gas come up there and you know mine for whatever they want wherever they want same with the loggers the logging they have carte blanche do whatever you want and you know I was watching a piece on that they were interviewing some of the fishermen and some of the people who live up there and they that's where they get their livelihood is from all of the animals and wildlife that live there and not to mention just the ecosystem the complete ecosystem that is there it will be destroyed destroyed they're going to destroy it and you know one question this raises for me we should discuss at least briefly is can he do this legally maybe it's going to be one of those suits in the wikipedia list how can he wake up one morning at the side he's going to wreck a national forest you know the United States went through a lot of trouble create the national park national forest system and this guy wakes up one morning and got a bad hair day actually most days are bad and he wants to destroy the Congress forest in Alaska the biggest asset in Alaska is its environment and he's going to do that because he wants to because he can can he doesn't require some acts of some agency doesn't require the act of Congress doesn't require somebody to make you know a determination maybe an environmental impact statement you know I'm not sure that he can do this and we have to find people who can resist this either on a regulatory basis or in court so to stop him from destroying our environment is well it won't be the EPA that stops him that's true regulatory office that should stop him but you know he's not that it's not going to happen which is the reason why he can get away with doing all this yeah and I think we just need a groundswell of people you know we we need one of those grassroots movements to just rise up in the public to stop him from doing this because it's just crazy and it won't be the Department of Agriculture because they're in the same place I mean he has these yes men these secretaries who are yes men and and they just go along with whatever Trump wants the Department of Agriculture the Secretary of Agriculture Purdue I think so was out in you know in farmland and maybe Indiana somewhere in the Midwest and he gave a speech and he called the farmers who complained about the tariffs he called them winers they're whining they should tough it up these are people that have lost their livelihoods right there's going to be a lot of bankruptcies there are already some farm the farm belt can't tolerate this the farmers are beginning to understand that you know these promises of whatever I don't know what promises were made about this because you can't much make much of a promise about the tariffs you know are not coming true and that Trump is killing them and I think where they might have been sticking with him six months ago that's over I I think you're right it is over and you know he says well I look at all this money I've given them I've given them 11 billion dollars or something like this these handouts well eat and some only the big corporations really that are getting the money and the little guys are not that's true there was a piece about that yeah and so that's actually not getting the money he promised the little guys are not and so they're losing their farms they're losing all of this year's crop anyway and then they have no market so even if he drops all these tariffs it took some of these guys 20 and plus years to get these markets together in China right so um they're not going to be able to just bring put them back up again they're going to have to find new markets that's that takes time and only the big guys are going to survive the little guys forget it they're gone but you know the the EPA speaking of the EPA a minute ago they have just done a big giant rollback on regulating methane emissions which is the number one cause of killing green house effect it is the biggest creator of the greenhouse effect all it's all all about greed and all the shell and mobile uh exxon all these guys you know any part of it that's how stupid this whole thing is is there like no no no no no we don't want to get involved in that thank you but no thank you we have other ways to make the money like lng right which they're all involved in so okay so this is really interesting uh at the same time no action in congress on the environment it's all being rolled back at the trump level no action and his uh departments or his secretaries are all in his pocket right so what we have is a degradation of any environmental policy in there oh yeah it's absolutely even the auto manufacturers are against him right on on the emissions standards um the other thing is we should talk about this you know so let me ask you a rhetorical question seen any action on gun control huh yeah right he walked that right back you know um what did what did what's his name less year no pierce this is the guy with the nr a yeah la pierre that's it la pierre thank you um he called trump shortly after trump had said yeah we need background checks we need yeah yeah yeah and then he talked to la pierre and now crickets we hear nothing well he walked it back oh yeah he walked it back and said well we already have a lot of you know those in place already yeah oh it's only really it's only a matter of time if we have another spate of these attacks you know this uh domestic terrorism people use the same weapons they've been using because there's been no control on those weapons and shoot up a lot of people in there in this kind of competitive mode let me see if i can shoot more people than the last guy shot let me just destroy everybody in sight that's what's going to happen it's just a matter of days or weeks and some guy some yonkel is going to do that again well you know my thoughts behind that because i've been saying it all along um i think he's trying to make these people do this i think he's poking the bear poking these people to try to rile them up so that he can have a full blown riot on his hands so he can declare martial law i really believe that's what is that if he's always going towards power right and everything he does is taking power away from the people and putting it back in his squarely in his corner and so the more powerful he gets the more power he wants and there's nothing more powerful than martial law oh yeah well you can stop an election everything you stop anything everything you are all powerful election and everybody answers to you well it's going that way isn't it it is going that way and i've seen it going that way from the very beginning i'm not so sure i agree with you though um on the point of he's got the methodology here i think he's very you know narcissistic and trophistic i say trophistic that sounds like trump is it's a simple mechanism he hasn't had the ego stroke all day all and it's very short-term thinking right and uh what you know what happens is he's got he's got a list of points many of which are lies most of which are lies and he keeps rolling them out over 10 000 lies now i thought it was 15 but it was well it's actually i have a thing i found some out um in the last okay he's said nine thousand fourteen lies or misleading statements in the last 773 days cnn says it's 10 000 the new yorker says and this is the important one i think 2140 lies in the last six months okay and that was um 16 averages 16 per day but in june and july just those two months alone there were 4229 so he's going up yes it's getting worse he's upping his lies and you know it's for a purpose it's to desensitize our ability to recognize a lie right right right he's he's lolling us somehow he's getting into a new normal where lies are the normal and what happens if you have a lot of lies like that we're not including yet kelly and conway and his various yes men secretaries and his most fabulous uh attorney general who is now chasing komi around i thought that finished and he got no not oh it's still not done put him in jail he puts his adversaries in jail or or ruins their life in some way right just like the apprentice these and you know these these lies and these his little jukebox of of things that he trots out like oh let's have another tax break can he afford the tax break he's giving away hundreds of millions maybe billions to the farmers but he wants to do a tax break what um you know we're going into you know trillions and gazillions of of budget deficit and he's going to give a tax break i mean the point the point i make is that he's got his jukebox worth a ridiculous statement so he's testing us that he has no brain trust that can stop him that can feedback or push back on his uh you know crazy three o'clock in the morning hamburger ideas and so you know what is that is that is that a methodology is that something you plan you know it's very instrumental uh when some reporter asked him in connection with his quote negotiations uh with china so you know you've been uh you've been beating them up at the same time you know you've been saying you got a great relationship what kind of negotiation is that and trump said you don't understand that's my style my style is to keep them off balance and so they never know what's going to happen that's my negotiating style at that point the reporter said well actually what is your point in this negotiation that's when trump trump changed the subject as i write so bottom line is uh there may not be a methodology here there may not be a specific target he's looking for you know we used to talk about him being a dictator like hitler or others um he may wind up that way but he's i don't think he has a plan he didn't have a plan to deal with china or north korea he doesn't really have a plan to deal with iran or brazil or climate change he doesn't have plans he doesn't have policies it's what he wakes up in the morning with this is the scariest thing of all why because you're going to make a big mistake that way a series of mistakes and get the world in a pickle kind of like he has already you mean kind of like he has already right but i think there is a little bit of a plan i think he does have a bit of an idea i think his goal he may not know exactly what route he's going to take to get there but i know his goal is all power because that's what narcissists do that's their only thing they care about is being in control and having power well and yeah and there's a plan too to confuse people and distract them exactly and make the truth elusive right this is very troublesome and and what happened uh yesterday was very troublesome with uh with biden because biden was caught on making various conditions of his story about the war in afghanistan and his involvement in pinning a medal or not on some soldier uh which which really sounded creepy to me because he was talking about in one rendition talking about a navy captain who was out there in the field they don't have navy captains out there in the field that's a very senior rank i don't think he understood bottom bottom line is that biden's credibility is seriously jeopardized right now yes it is and the average the average citizen can all of these guys you know they're all telling us stories what are we to believe trump started it you know but there's there's evidence that others are doing it too and this is a big problem in terms of finding a leader who will take us out of trump's swamp uh and i fear that it may not be biden he may not he may be over the over the top on this i don't think it is and maybe it's elizabeth warren actually i hope it's elizabeth warren i think she's tough enough to fight him and you won't push her around i think biden is too nice to be honest i think he has too much class to lower himself to trump's level and fight back that way i think if trump hits him with stuff he's gonna just crumble because he's too decent he doesn't have it together he's too decent and he's yeah he's a little scattered and i i was surprised to find him this scattered in his different speeches but you know the the thing i like about warren is that she is just right to the point and she's got a plan she's not scattered she's not telling lies you know and the whole indian thing heck everybody in america has a little bit of indian in them so you know i don't think she should have that held against her we're out of here synthia we're done but there's like 20 more things to talk about well save them till next week aloha aloha everyone
