ā€œHe’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory!ā€ Barack Obama took a brutal shot at Trump, and the crowd erupted. Obama questioned why Trump was focusing on extravagant White House renovations while Americans were struggling with rising prices. He pointed to Trump’s ballroom project, the paved-over Rose Garden, the helicopter pad, and all the gold decorations. But Obama didn’t stop at the jokes. He also criticized Trump’s economic priorities, arguing that the administration’s major tax bill mostly benefits wealthy Americans. ā€œHe is clearly not focused on lowering prices for you.ā€ Is Obama making a fair point about Trump’s priorities, or is this just political comedy? Barack Obama: Somehow deficits only matter when a Democrat’s president is in office. You would think that with all this going on, at least our current president would have passed some legislation to try to bring down prices. But no! The only bill they have passed of any significance was a trillion-dollar tax break that mostly benefits the richest Americans. Now, don’t boo vote! I believe we do need to make sure our border is orderly and secure. I believe that we want folks coming here lawfully. But I do not recall anybody campaigning on sending masked agents running through our streets. I don’t recall anybody talking about law-abiding citizens being arrested, and detained, and shot, and killed. We did not ask for that! Does anybody really think this guy is spending all that much time thinking deeply on these issues? I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but he is very focused on home renovation. He should be on HGTV! The guy is building a ballroom that is bigger than the White House, paved over the Rose Garden, put a helicopter pad on the lawn, and then there’s just gold everywhere. What’s up with the gold? He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory! He is clearly not focused on lowering prices for you.

$400 million in career earnings. $1,250 in cash by January 2004. Mike Tyson claims he went to prison with $15 million and walked out with hundreds of millions because Don King kept bringing him contracts to sign behind bars. Yet by the time bankruptcy papers were filed, all of it was gone. People blame the promoter, but when you have an unstoppable cash machine and zero guardrails, the money never stands a chance.

A reporter confronted Trump about a controversial campaign ad involving a woman whose stepfather was accused of sexually abusing her as a child and his response left Erin Burnett stunned. The ad, backed by Vivek Ramaswamy, featured the estranged mother of his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton, criticizing her own daughter. When reporters asked Trump about the childhood sexual abuse allegations involving Acton’s stepfather, Trump repeatedly said he knew nothing about them and returned to criticizing Acton’s mother. But what Trump said afterward made the controversy even bigger. ā€œThe Press is trying to convince everyone that this ad is bad, because it’s so good! Who wouldn’t use such an Ad? I would.ā€ Erin Burnett questioned how Trump could defend using an ad that brought such painful family history into a political campaign. Erin Burnett: Today, doubling down again and again on his defense of Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad featuring the estranged mother of his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton. In the ad, Acton’s mother accuses her daughter of being a liar and says she’s not fit for office. Acton’s mother is the same woman who fled Ohio with her husband after a grand jury indicted him for sexually abusing Acton when she was a child. Yet, this is what the President of the United States said today. Donald Trump: I know nothing about it. All I know is the mother said very bad things about Acton, who I guess is running for governor against Vivek. And all I can say is Vivek is great. Reporter: Why did you make no mention of the sexual abuse allegations that Amy Acton made against her stepfather who stayed married to her mother? Donald Trump: Well, I have no idea. I don’t know the mother. I don’t know her. I never heard of her until just recently. Reporter: She accused her stepfather of child rape, Mr. President. Donald Trump: Wait a minute. The mother made a horrible statement about the daughter. Reporter: What about what the daughter said about her mother? Donald Trump: I don’t know what the daughter said. I don’t know. Reporter: She said her stepfather her mother remained married to her stepfather who sexually abused her when she was 12 years old. Donald Trump: You know, I have no idea. All I know is Amy Acton’s mother said horrible things about Amy Acton. Erin Burnett: He also wrote online, ā€œThe Press is trying to convince everyone that this ad is bad, because it’s so good! Who wouldn’t use such an Ad? I would.ā€ That’s incredible. So he just said that he would use an ad where someone whose husband was charged with raping their own daughter when she was under 12 he would use that ad.

AI companies have borrowed $466 BILLION in 2026 and the bond market is starting to get nervous. Could this be the warning sign of the next recession? While people are struggling with high gas prices, expensive mortgages, and a frozen job market, another financial risk may be building behind the scenes. AI companies are borrowing enormous amounts of money to build data centers, but investors are beginning to question whether these companies can generate enough money to pay back their debts. Even major tech companies like Microsoft are facing rising costs to insure their bonds against default. And here’s the worrying part: more than $9 billion worth of insurance linked to major tech companies’ bonds was being traded every week in September. Nobody is panicking yet, but the warning signs are flashing. What happens if the companies pouring billions into AI can’t afford to pay back what they owe? Could the AI boom turn into the next financial crisis? šŸ‘€ Expensive gas, high mortgage rates, a frozen job market—there were only 29,000 net new jobs added in September. Consumer confidence is low, optimism is low. But here’s some good news: at least there’s no recession. Not yet, anyway. We are beginning to get a view of how the next recession could begin. And that news is coming from the global bond market. Bond markets are getting very nervous. Artificial intelligence companies have borrowed enormous amounts of money to finance their data centers. The AI companies have borrowed about $466 billion just this year, and there are two months of the year still to go. As more and more debt is issued, more insurance is bought. More than $9 billion worth of credit default swaps linked to bonds issued by major tech companies were being traded each week in September. The price of that insurance is rising, even for companies like Microsoft. Nobody is panicking yet, but signals of distress and trouble are flashing. The problem worrying the bond market is this: Can the AI companies earn enough money to pay the interest on all that borrowing? Debt is rising fast, and so are interest rates.

Jesse Watters claims Democrats are jealous of Elon Musk and says, ā€œThey literally want to kill him.ā€ Greg Gutfeld: They used to like his electric cars. They used to like everything, until they started keying the cars, calling him a Nazi, and going after his dealership. So, this is pure political retaliation and also deterrence. But the great thing about him is he literally has money to burn. If they want a battle with him, he’s going to fight, and that is an American value. Jesse Watters: And they’re jealous, Jackie. It’s like when a girl breaks up with a guy, and then the guy gets with another girl and starts lavishing her with lots of money and luxurious goods. They get jealous! And so, they want to kill him. They literally want to kill him. Jackie DeAngelis: Wow! Are you speaking from experience here, Jesse? Jesse Watters: Not me. I just know how women… (laughs) Jackie DeAngelis: Elon Musk bought Twitter because he was upset about censorship of conservative viewpoints. He’s kind of the embodiment of what can happen in a capitalist society with free enterprise. I think there are a lot of points about him that make him quite American, even though he came to this country as an immigrant. Jesse Watters: Yeah, but that’s just an inside-the-Beltway story. No real American cares about that stuff. The Democrats saying that they’re going to get after him for spending money in the election, is that illegal to donate? Emily Compagno: It is to Democrats if you donate to Republicans.

$24,000 a year handed to a landlord for three years straight without missing a single payment. Then you get an email: rent is going up another $300 a month because "the market" allows it. You're paying down someone else's mortgage, covering their equity, and walking away with zero at the end of the day. Reliable tenants aren't ATMs.

Megyn Kelly challenges the idea that you can always do better than your partner and Glenn Greenwald explains why he believes that mindset is destroying families. Glenn Greenwald: Men of any kind, because all of it’s oppressive, right? Do you think that’s going to lead to any human happiness? Megyn Kelly: You know what this made me think of? Jordan Peterson, who always raises such good questions when women talk like this. ā€œWhat about you? What did you do to cause the marriage to be less than satisfactory? Maybe you are the problem in the relationship. Why is it all about you, and whether you can do better?ā€ It’s narcissistic, it’s shortsighted, it takes no responsibility for a woman’s role in the partnership. And you do wonder how these two idiots would be reacting if it were two guys sitting on Joe Rogan, being like, ā€œWhen I sit around with the guys and we think, ā€˜Can we do better?’ The answer is always yes. Leave her! Move on!ā€ Glenn Greenwald: ā€œGet a younger one! Get the next younger one!ā€ Megyn Kelly: Yeah, younger! Bigger tits! Go for it! Glenn Greenwald: We would generally think it’s noble. I don’t understand what this is. It’s not even a philosophy, it’s just pure libertinism, just pure instant gratification wrapped up as some kind of enlightenment. I think this kind of thing is doing a lot of damage. The centerpiece of our happiness is our families, and this is a ā€œdestroy your own family the minute there’s a problemā€ message. If anyone’s going to be happy following that message, I have not yet met them.

Over $500 a month in streaming, internet, phone bills, and DoorDash fees. Then people wonder why they can't buy a house like their grandparents did on a single income. Grandpa didn’t have seven app subscriptions, a leased SUV, or a $14 iced latte addiction. He lived on whatever was left in the fridge and drove a truck that smelled like motor oil. It’s not just the economy. It’s lifestyle inflation acting like a necessity.

Logan Paul couldn’t believe what Ali G was wearing, but when he discovered what was hidden inside his jacket, the conversation took a hilarious turnšŸ˜‚ Logan Paul: Look at he’s got the jacket on!

Logan Paul: Fucking clap, guys, clap! Ali G! Ali G: Yo, what’s up? Logan Paul: What’s up, Ali G? Where’s your hand? Mike Majlak: His hand it’s cold, no? Ali G: Sweat. Mike Majlak: What’s on your hand? Oh, you got slushied? Ali G: No. Ali G: Yo, I was feeling a bit dodgy, though, cuz I had this like real shitty burger last night.

A fucking sandwich in his jacket? You got a sandwich? Ali G: Yo, we have food in the UK.

A 10lb bag of Russet potatoes is $7.48 in one video online, but only $5.24 down the street at my local Walmart. People online love to rage about retail markups without checking the actual geography or overhead. Running a massive box store with thousands of employees costs a lot more than a bare-bones discount market. It's a store, not a charity. If the price is too high, you can just walk out.

Sitting at a desk at 2:00 AM, typing out paragraphs of pickup lines to a woman across the internet. Meanwhile, you walk past someone amazing at the grocery store earlier that day and don't even say excuse me. We've traded real human interaction for digital performance. It's way easier to act brave behind a keyboard than to actually look someone in the eye.

Trump went from praising RFK Jr. for his loyalty to making a surprising comment about his body and the moment caught everyone’s attention. At a rally in Florida, RFK Jr. revealed that his liberal friends warned him not to trust Trump, claiming Trump would use him to win an election and then discard him. But RFK Jr. had a very different story to tell. ā€œEvery commitment, every promise that Donald Trump has made to me, he has kept in spades.ā€ Then Trump took the conversation in an unexpected direction, turning his attention to RFK Jr.’s physique. ā€œHe’s got the body of a 30-year-old.ā€ šŸ˜‚

HOW IS IT LEGAL FOR A TELEVISION YOU BOUGHT WITH YOUR OWN MONEY TO SECRETLY RECORD AUDIO AND TAKE SCREENSHOTS OF YOU FOR ADS? You're just trying to watch a movie on a Tuesday night. Meanwhile, your TV's AI is logging everything you say so a brand can sell you running shoes. At what point do we stop accepting that every device in our house is a corporate spy?
