From NASCAR to Napoleon - How President Trump Turned a Race Day into Pure Chaos!

Show Notes
Transcript

While most people spend their Sundays watching sports, Trump's out here living them! Fresh from turning Daytona into his personal Victory Lane (where he had Richard Petty wondering who really is The King), the former president dropped a spicy Napoleon quote about saving countries and breaking laws. But that's not all - turns out he wants to replace Jackie O's historic Rose Garden with what sounds like a Mar-a-Lago dance club. From pace cars to paved paradise, emperor quotes to extreme makeovers, we've got the stories that'll make your head spin faster than Trump's motorcade at Daytona

Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.679
From Daytona, where the Secret Service is trying to figure

3
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.199
out if Rubbins racing counts as a security threat. This

4
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.039
is valid, that's right. Trump took a victory lap. Literally,

5
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:22.640
let's hit this. Welcome to When Lawn meets the Dawn

6
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:25.800
Today's episode of Extreme Home Makeover Presidential Edition.

7
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.719
Trump wants to pave Paradise and put up a mar

8
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:30.399
a Lago place. That's right.

9
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.000
The President is looking to give the White House a

10
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:37.079
rose garden a little facelift, and by facelift, I mean

11
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.759
completely concrete over historic garden that's been there since nineteen

12
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.799
hundred and three. According to The New York Times, Trump

13
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.399
has been telling his associates he wants to rip up

14
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.240
all that pesky grass and replace it with something more.

15
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.759
How do I put this resort cheek.

16
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.799
He's even considering installing hardwood floors for dancing, because nothing

17
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.840
says preserving American heritage quite like turning a presidential garden

18
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:05.040
into a palm beach discotheche. The White House communications director

19
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.439
Stephen Chung said the White House hasn't been given any

20
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.400
tender loving care in many decades. Yeah, because when I

21
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:17.760
think tender loving care. I think jackhammer to the rose bushes. Now,

22
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.000
a little history lesson. This garden was redesigned by Jackie Kennedy,

23
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.439
who wanted it to match the beautiful gardens that she

24
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.120
and JFK saw in Europe. But apparently Trump saw it

25
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.519
and thought, you know what this needs less Kennedy, more

26
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:35.879
Studio fifty four. The roses will supposedly stay, though they'll

27
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:38.560
just be surrounded by whatever material they use for pool

28
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.000
decks in Florida. I'm sure Jackie O would have loved that.

29
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.480
Nothing says Camelot quite like stamped concrete and dance floors.

30
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:48.400
And here's the kicker.

31
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.480
This comes right after Trump basically claimed the Kennedy Center

32
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:56.519
as his own personal property and nominated RFK Junior for

33
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.840
his cabinet. At this rate, the only thing with Kennedy

34
00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:02.560
and involvement that he won't try to change is the airport.

35
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:06.599
Trump gave NASCAR fans the presidential treatment at Daytona, and

36
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.840
not just any presidential treatment. We're talking the full mar

37
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.800
A Lago special. The man who turned the White House

38
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.840
into a reality show just turned the Daytona five hundred

39
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.280
into his own personal victory lane. At least he didn't

40
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.319
propose replacing the track with a rose garden.

41
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:22.319
There.

42
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.240
He was rolling into Daytona Beach like he owns the place,

43
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.319
which is knowing Trump, He's probably already got the paperwork

44
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.439
ready to rename it Trump International Speedway and Golf Resort.

45
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:36.080
And the crowd they went absolutely wild. I mean, where

46
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.439
else can you see a former president doing donuts and

47
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:43.159
what's basically a bulletproof Cadillac. Now Trump's no stranger to Daytona.

48
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.560
He did this whole song and dance back in twenty twenty.

49
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.439
But this time he's walking around Pitt Road like he's

50
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.879
hosting the Apprentice NASCAR edition. There he is chatting with

51
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.400
Richard Petty two Kings, having a casual Sunday conversation about

52
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.039
who has the better hair game. You know what's really something,

53
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.439
Jimmy Carter was actually NASCAR's biggest presidential fan.

54
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:07.960
That's right.

55
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.800
The peanut farmer from Georgia was hosting NASCAR dinners before

56
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.280
Trump was even thinking about putting his name on buildings.

57
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.919
Carter was waving green flags while Trump was still trying

58
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:19.599
to figure out which end of a hammer to hold

59
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.280
and speaking of presidents. At Daytona, both bushes have played

60
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.560
Grand Marshal, but Trump he had to one up everyone

61
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.680
by leading the pace car because apparently being president wasn't

62
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.240
enough horsepower for him. I have to say, though, watching

63
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.639
a former president lead a pack of race cars around

64
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:39.479
a track.

65
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:41.280
That's peak America right there.

66
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.960
That's like if the Constitution had a baby with Monster

67
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.080
Energy drinks. Speaking of which, your Monday morning coffee sure

68
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.800
was expensive this morning, wasn't it. Coffee futures are up

69
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.919
thirty percent this year, which is obviously.

70
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:56.439
Joe Biden's fault.

71
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.280
Now, if you're wondering what coffee futures are, that's Wall

72
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.800
Street talk. For your morning brew is about to cost

73
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:06.800
more than your phone bill. You want numbers. Roasted coffee

74
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.159
is up two point five percent from last year, but

75
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.560
instant coffee that jumped seven point one percent.

76
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:14.879
That's right.

77
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.399
Even the coffee that tastes like it was filtered through

78
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.040
a gym sock is getting expensive. Experts say we're in

79
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.639
a perfect price storm. Brazil had its hottest year on

80
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.600
record in twenty twenty four, Vietnam's having drought issues, and

81
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.680
Columbia's probably wondering why everyone's looking at them next. The

82
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.920
big chains like Starbucks are doing okay for now because

83
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.120
they buy their beans way in advance. It's like they

84
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.040
have a time machine, but only for coffee. But the

85
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.759
rest of us, we're about to learn what it feels

86
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.399
like to take out a second mortgage for our morning caffeine.

87
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:47.720
Fix.

88
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.839
Trump's latest social media post is basically him going full

89
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:55.959
Napoleon fan fixed.

90
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:58.879
And I don't mean he's just acting short with people.

91
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.879
He's actually quote the guy who made himself emperor of

92
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:06.240
France after promising to save democracy. That's like citing Darth

93
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:07.600
Vader in your self help book.

94
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:09.240
Here's what happened.

95
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.399
Trump hopped on truth Social which is basically Twitter for

96
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.279
people who think Twitter doesn't have enough conspiracy theories, and

97
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:20.240
drop this Napoleon quote. He who saves his country does

98
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.480
not violate any law. That's the kind of thing you

99
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.279
write in your diary right before declaring yourself emperor of

100
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.519
your local HOA. Now, Adam Schiff, who spent so much

101
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.800
time investigating Trump, he probably has a what would Trump do?

102
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.560
Bracelet just to do the opposite, jumped in to call

103
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:37.319
Trump out.

104
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.839
Shift basically said, that's dictator talk, which is like pointing

105
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.959
out that water is wet, but someone's got to do it.

106
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.879
Meanwhile, Vice President jd. Vance is out there tweeting.

107
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.959
That judges can't control executive power, which is exactly the

108
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.519
kind of thing you say right before someone explains to

109
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.279
you what checks and balances are. And get this, Trump's

110
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.600
been saying that surviving an assassination attempt was divine intervention

111
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.959
to restore America to greatness. That's quite the leap from

112
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.720
surviving an attack to claiming you're on a mission from God.

113
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.560
It's like saying you found a twenty dollars bill in

114
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.480
your jacket, so clearly you're meant to buy lottery tickets.

115
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:17.319
Portions of today's.

116
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.600
Program were made with the help of AI oh my,

117
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.920
and not enough coffee to come up with the rule

118
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:22.600
of three joke.

119
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.000
Hey, I was up late watching Saturday Night Live.
